My Lovely Busybody Girl's
6 - What's the matter?
“Lo sure to want ease, La?” ask Mela to her best friend, Shaila.
“Yes, I can't do it, Mel. Another week I take care of the guy, shorten my life.”
“Iya anyway, there is no he also tetep aja lo who bergeberesin tuh perpus.”
Mela placed her right hand on Shaila's shoulder, feeling sorry for the friend she called Lala. How not? A week later his best friend was made difficult by Arka.
Therefore Shaila has decided to end his suffering which is too heavy. He will step down from his responsibility of overseeing Arka during his sentence.
The girl thought again, what actually made him take Mr. Rashudin's request for granted? Though he also knows that Arka is not the type of person who will obey the requests of others, including himself.
“Gue to space Mr. Rashudin first well, Mel.”
“Yes, later back here again well," said Mela who went straight into the canteen after making sure her best friend passed.
Shaila took her breath before knocking on the brown-colored door in front of her. Shaila came in when she heard a voice that allowed her to enter and a handsome man was sitting behind a colored table in line with the door. A smile spread across the man's face as he saw Shaila in front of him.
“Shaila, please sit.” Rashudin pointed to the bench in front of him.
Politely Shaila sat in front of Rashudin.
“What's up, Shaila? Is there a problem?”
Shaila was silent, unsure where to start, the girl nodded.
Seeing his usually cheerful-faced favorite disciple become gloomy and staring at the floor below made Rashudin understand the root of the problem. “Arka, right?”
Well, Shaila should not be surprised if the teacher in front of him can find out what is on his mind, that's what he learned about human psychology.
Shaila took a slow breath before steadying her intentions. “Sorry, Sir. I guess I can't continue with Arka.”
Rashudin. “I understand your feelings. It is my fault for incriminating you on this issue, because I think you are the only one who can face Arka.”
Shaila shakes. “Ngak, Sir. This is not the fault of the father, I am a weak one but arrogantly accept the request of the father.”
Staring at his disciple became this gloomy because his request made Rashudin feel guilty. The man who was everywhere always carrying the rattan cane nodded.
“Do you know why you chose you to face Arka?”
Shaila raised her head and looked at the teacher before her, the girl shook her head.
“Karna I think your cheerful and helpful nature can make a hard Ark can change. Arka is a lonely child. His mischief was only a cover to cover up his loneliness. Without others and himself knowing, Inner Ark kept asking to be helped.”
Shaila stared at Rashudin, not knowing what to say.
“Then I dare ask for your help to help the child, make him not lonely anymore with the joy you have, and also the persistence that is your main trait.”
“But in fact I failed in my duty, Sir.”
Rashid. “You have not failed, you have not even started it.”
Silent. Shaila thought of the word Rashid just now. Shaila hasn't started yet? Started what?
“But you've decided, I can't force you to try it on.”
“Sorry, Sir.”
“It's okay, sorry father. And thank you, because you have received a request from mr.”
“Iya, Sir.”
“For a while let Arka be in the library after school until you can determine the punishment instead. You can return to class.”
Shaila bailed on Rashudin and walked towards the canteen. There he saw Mela who was laughing while looking at her phone, must be chatting with her boyfriend. Shaila approached her best friend.
“Udah. From now on I am free.”
“Good, so you don't have to bother anymore to take care of him anymore. Good luck with people.”
Shaila smiled faintly, she then spread her gaze and found Arka with her two friends smoking in the corner of the canteen. If Shaila had seen the incident two weeks before she knew Arka, she would have approached them and snatched the cigarette they were smoking, but now she has chosen the bodo period with the man.
Thinking that the man was stressing Shaila himself, it was better that he would not have to deal with a man like Arka or that he would just ruin and shorten his life.

The atmosphere of the library was calm again, there were no younger siblings who went here and there looking for a reference book for their duties, Arka who increasingly made Shaila dizzy.
Like her activities before getting to know Arka, Shaila tidied up a book that was messy out of place. After this he can directly practice volleyball with his friends. As the captain of the volleyball team, Shaila cannot abuse her power to skip.
Shaila was about to leave the library when she passed Arka who had just arrived. Her angry feelings were of course still there when she saw the man.
Arka walks past Shaila to her usual place. Shaila turned her body to look at Arka's back.
“Gue has told Pak Rasyudin if I want to stop being the person in charge of lo.”
Shaila's words made Arka stop her steps, the man twisted his body and stared at Shaila flatly.
“So from now on I have nothing to do with lo, and lo, but Mr. Rasyudin says he wants to lo keep here until he can be sure of your next punishment, well even though I don't ngarepin lo nurutin it too.”
The wrath of the wrath just makes Shaila's anger peaked again, but the girl chose to hold him back.
“Kalo you want to go back do not forget to lock the door," said Shaila while walking away.
In his place, Arka just silently stared at the floor. Don't know what he's thinking right now.

The hour hand was showing at 17:40, but Arka had just come out of the library. The man headed straight for the motor park.
In the middle of the road, Arka sees Shaila who has just finished volleyball training chatting with her friend while walking towards the school gate, although she is smiling but a tired look is still visible on her face. Seeing the girl made Arka rethink Shaila's words earlier. Good, it means that from tomorrow he can go home quickly.
Arka wore his jeans and black helmet, immediately he turned on his motorbike. He doesn't want to go home too late and miss a bet with his friends.
While running his motorcycle towards the gate, Arka saw Shaila who jumped in shock because the motorcycle in front of him almost hit him with high speed. The girl then fell down and sat down weakly.
Arka stopped her bike and got off the bike, the man took off his helmet before walking closer to Shaila who was currently holding onto her chest. Arka pats Shaila on the shoulder and makes the girl jump in shock.
“Lo okay?”
Shaila looked at Arka with both eyes perfectly rounded. Arka can see the clear fluid in both of Shaila's eyes. As if she could control herself, Shaila brushed off Arka's hand and stood up.
“Gak papa,” said Shaila while stopping the taxi that runs but it turns out the taxi is hitchhiking.
Arka pulls Shaila's arm. “Gue anter.”
Shaila turned his head and looked at Arka's motorbike parked not far from them, he then pointed at the black motorbike. “Acne the thing?”
Arka scrunched her forehead. “Iya, what else up is it?”
Shaila grunts. “I'm walking away from riding a kayak accents like that.”
Arka will reply to Shaila when a taxi stops in front of her and without a second thought Shaila gets into it. Arka picks up her phone and photographs the license plate of the taxi that took Shaila away just now, just in case tomorrow the boy does not go to school and is kidnapped by the driver.
Lately the girl has always looked moody and limp, so Arka is worried if anything happens to her. Arka does not close her eyes to the reason why Shaila became like that, but what can she do? He couldn't force Shaila to cheer up again, and he also had no reason to do so. Let it be, whatever the girl wants to be like, it is her right.
