Not Just a Shadow

Chapter 2

The morning prayer woke up my dreamless sleep. I immediately ran to the bathroom and immediately performed worship. Still with the home clothes I immediately headed to the kitchen to help in the kitchen preparing breakfast. “Ndek winggi tak sawang-sawang your crew is busy ngingeti hape wae, Nduk. Hapemu new to?" (Today don't see you're busy just looking at the phone, son. Your new phone, huh? )

“Nggih Buk, winggi kulo school host directly mendhet arto ngge tumbas hape, ajeng pamitan kaleh Ibuk but Ibuk mboten enten teng ndalem. Nopo niki mangke breakfast, Buk?" (Yes Buk, came home from school yesterday I took the money, wanted Mom's permission but Mom wasn't home. What breakfast will you have, Buk? )

“Breakfast sak ane lah yo Nduk, sego winggi disego fried wae, you help ngoreng ndok. Pitike Bapakmu ngendok okeh (Breakfast only, rice that we made fried rice yesterday, and you who help fry eggs for side dishes, his chicken Mr. lay many eggs) “Nggih, Buk" (Yes, Iya, Bok )

 

I left school early in the morning because, as usual, my girlfriend picked me up. Hehehe, the bus means. I have no thoughts there at all, maybe because my mind is busy studying and thinking about the rupiah coffers. Or maybe because of how inferior I am to all the shortcomings in my life, who will want to be with me.

 

In the bus I suddenly remembered the wrong chat sent yesterday. My mind gets busy alone while looking out the window I am using indistinctly, “Lucky yesterday the stray was replied, otherwise? 'it would be strange if I arrived at Miss Lasmi's house all of a sudden. I don't think I have any more manners! Asked to chat first, there was no news when before but it was stray again, but Miss Lasinya did not know if stray. Good thing the reply wasn't too late, so I could resend. Lf it doesn't? (my eyes are a bit panicked glaring) I send nights so disrupt people's rest hours. Good thing Mr Mas Ferdian is good, (spontaneously I immediately smile and my eyes sparkle) is old is still young huh? If you are old, you must not reply to chat, definitely directly phone. Or old but no job? How do you reply to chat? Or...or..still young? ..hem...dah! Maybe I don't have a boyfriend yet, so I'll have to reply. But if you already have a girlfriend? (my eyeballs spin dubious ) Ah, surely the person is indeed nice so keep returning the chat even though it has nothing to do with him” I exhale a bit rudely, tired of my heart and mind swirling around imagining without any answers. “Aduh, Hira...Hira.ngapain you early in the morning! Later math replay.” I murmured slowly warning myself.

 

Not feeling so busy my mind, my school was almost too far away. “Pak..pak...pak.... don't forget me dong! I'm going down here? Still in school uniform, sir. Joking sir, thank you." I rushed down from the bus.

“Sorry-sorry Neng, Tumben Neng rather pagian. Usually go on the second round? Sorry Neng huh? Sporting a little bit ya Neng."

"Yes, sir it's okay."

"Luckily not far away very, can flatten me, early in the morning and come out sweat” my grumbling without anyone can hear. Suddenly my chat notification reads "Who is adding to my rupiah coffers schedule, let's see," I talked to myself out of curiosity early in the morning there is already a chat.

 From : +68.215...

Morning, how do you type the wrong number, right?

 

My eyes glared and flickered over and over again I looked at the numbers and words in the chat. Even my volume is a little hardened but no one heard because the school is still quite quiet. “Morning, how do you type the wrong number, right?” “Heemm, fun early in the morning to get a greeting. (It seemed to flow from my heart until my teeth were absent, smiling too widely) It seemed to be the wrong number yesterday, but my heart was weird. Should I greet him? Acquainted with him? What if he's a lonely om-om? From his care, care or do not have a job? What is it, but he seems young. If he is old, it is impossible to chat early in the morning people he does not know. Ouch My index finger I move to the temple, unconscious until tuk-tuk-tuk.but it sounds, I confused myself with what is in my heart and mind. Simple, just reply. It's finished! Why confused? )

Because for too long I muttered alone, suddenly Dwi grabbed my shoulder from behind and leaned his chin on my shoulder “Hayo early in the morning was not clear. Hayo-hayo..why hayo? There are strange auras, like!”

“Apaan anyway, Wi. Don't slur! You are the one who is not clear early in the morning. Let's sneak out your book, hunt the bell in! He said there was trouble. About which one to try?"

"Yes.iya Bu Hira.maaf already ngrepotin, for you to leave early in the morning. I will not waste your sacrifice, I will get a value that is not far lost to you. Let me be your classmate. Hihihi..”.

 

Because of the hunt there was Dwi who came and I immediately focused on him. Last night he chatted me off to school early in the morning, he said there were things he couldn't do. I forgot to reply to Mr. Mas Ferdian. “Udah visible if I've opened again! If I don't reply, I don't think I have my dong manners! Because the lessons have already begun, later when I go home from school, I will have to help in the cafeteria." I was alone without being heard by Dwi.

"You're a freak today, Ra, robbed, huh?" I was surprised, I thought Dwi beside me was busy alone with the matter she was doing.

"Who's robbed?” answer me, pretend it's okay. "What's because there's a new cell phone..you're robbing the heart?" while glancing at me, the expression on Dwi's face made me dizzy.

“Already, do not bother looking for answers to my questions.” said Dwi with a warning smile. I fell silent and continued to work on the matter that the class president shared, because it was empty at the moment.

 

Across town, there are people who are misbehaving, snapping on the phone screen. The handsome roar of his face looked like a restless person. For a long time Ferdian's fingers felt a bit itchy, wanted to dance on the screen, and finally...

 

To: Hira

??

 

Notif my phone sounds, while picking up the book in the bag. I accidentally took a quick glance at +68.215.....

The incoming chat is still not open, after finishing working on the matter because it still has not changed the lesson hours. I finally got my phone in my bag. “It turns out Mr Mas Ferdian.o...o..., are you waiting for my reply? Why does it seem like your heart is the same as mine?” my grumbling that turned out to be glimpsed by Dwi because my lips did not stop kamat-kamit, like reading a spell.

 

From : +62.215 I haven't saved his name yet, because I guess it's just a passing advertisement)

Sorry, you seem to be waiting for my chat huh?

 

From: +62.215....

 

It seems formal, right?

May I ask?

 

To : +62.215.....

 

Because just out of respect, maybe you're older than me. Excuse me.

Want to ask what?

connecting to the question this morning, yes.sorry after I saw it I typed 1 number. So again sorry and thank you for replying to my chat. Because it was my chat in wait Miss Lasmi.

 

To : Hira

 

Sorry for being personal, how old are you? (Ferdian is a formal follow-up)

 

Since I changed the lesson hours, I reinserted my phone. I took out a new textbook.fashion is silent, insyaAllah is safe! ”There's no way he'll call me because I haven't responded to his chat” grumbled me in heart.

 

I calmly followed the lesson, the hours quickly passed and the hours of rest arrived. Immediately I rushed to the cafeteria to help Ms. Atik. “Alhamdulilah, Son Hira. Mother's rice packs all out, her snacks are also on the bestseller. Who helps Mom, so beautiful! Mother's customers are getting bigger. Mom becomes kayak gini lineage, deh!” said Ms. Atik, while teasing me.

“It's not like that either Mom, the provision of the God-addressed Mother." After helping me clean up, I immediately returned to class.

 

Time passed quickly, and I was coming home soon. Because later in the afternoon I started guiding his son Bu Lasmi. Arrive at home, while sleeping because of soybeans walk from the stop to the house which is quite far away. I open my phone, “Oy.chatnya Mr. Mas Ferdian not yet I open” I patted my eel, while the ringing wonder. Because I didn't expect, there was a pile of chat.

 

From: +62.215.....

 

???

 

From : +62.215.....

 

How not to reply??

 

From : +62.215....

 

Hallo....

 

“ Bismillah o Allah, may this be the best for me, not a bad prefix” gunamku while typing reply.

 

To: +62.215......

 

Sorry yes, just to break up there are changing hours of lessons and there is a teacher. Why do you ask age?

 

From : +62.215......

When I know, maybe I'll know how to behave.

 

To : +62.215......

Act, meaning? I don't want to guess where we're going, but I'm 16.

 

From 62.215......

Positive is still school yes, grade 1 High School means. I'm being honest right away? Can we officially meet? Because we had an accident yesterday, right?

 

To : +62.215......

Yes, still in the school of Mr. Mas Ferdian, thank God the accident was not brought to the hospital. It's the same as yesterday, my name is Hira. Bahira Cantika, that's my long name. Can be checked in population data, without any forgery, hehe...

 

From : +62.215......

You, funny huh? Honestly from yesterday you caught my attention, Mr Mas Ferdian, what is it? My title is so much. The next title is lost, Dek, so Mas does not sound old. At work, it sounds old. Mas already working, about the age of Mas the same you difference 9 years! But don't be formal with Mas, so we can be comfortable.

 

To : +62.215......

If you want to read chat, don't laugh alone? Even though I'm funny, I don't see my face. What's so funny, huh? Sorry, I have a confident syndrome, right? I don't agree yet, I've made the law.

I'm sorry, I'll just keep going again. I want to go to Miss Lasmi's house, yesterday I promised to guide her son. Yea...

 

 

Time passed quickly, “When I rested my head heemmm, I finally met a soft one" I complained to my head with a pillow. I opened my hole and sniffed the Padded One. “Oh it turns out that someone is waiting for me” gunamku happy to open the flattened Rectangle.

 

From : +62.215......

Long time very much left, Dek?

 

It says two hours ago, “ Mas this one, really yeah make me can't describe my feelings? Emm, if I'm comfortable, what if I expect more? What if I was only used for his spare time? What if you already have a girl or even already have a wife?” I used to be alone a lot of questions swirling around in my head. Mixed up my feelings while replying to his chat.

 

 

To : +62.215......

Sorry mas, just circled all my activities, just can hold the phone.

 

From : +62.215......

 

Very busy you yes, like exceeding the busyness of Mas aja. You said earlier, you can see Miss Lasmi's child, what does that mean? Sorry, Mas kepo. Keep your words this 'Not yet I agree, I've made the Law' What does that mean?? I'm comfortable with that, you want to run away?

 

To :+62.215......

 

About my words, it is true 'kan I have not assented, Mas has made the Law

1.       Call him Mas, to make Mas comfortable.

2.       I have not answered how next, Mas also determined as if in the future we are in a relationship, 'communication means' Though Mas asked my age as consideration.

Isn't this like UU, Mas? Made to obey, the offending are punished! Hehe...

 

 

From : +62.215......

 

Oh it turns out.can be like submitting a proposal to Mr. Lecturer. This, which Mas likes from you, already beautiful smart again! For reference no.1, it seems like Mas has no blame yes.because it is already ngalir, it seems like there is also a comfortable! Continue to reference no. 2, how do you want? But Mas still holds you accountable!

 

 

To :+62.215......

Ask how, but at the ends there should be elements. Same with dong! For mutual comfort. I'd like to ask, but Mas don't lie huh? God is witness, can you?

 

 

From : +62.215......

It can be beautiful, it won't lie. The comfort I can still feel.

 

To :+62.215......

Ih, what the fuck! Make me shiver! Can it really? You lied again, because you just want to be comfortable.

 

From : +62.215......

No promise, that means no lie. Say it! Or Mas vidio call or call?

 

To :+62.215......

I'm gonna ask, I have a girl? At the age of Mas, maybe not wrong if it's.

 

+62..215,

“Assalamualaikum, Beautiful.”

 

“Waalaikumsalam Mas, how do you keep calling?"

 

“To convince you, he heard your voice Dek. Ok, now Mas answered yes but guess tomorrow you bad luck wake up ngak? It was a really late night. I'm sorry, but you certainly learned, right?”

 

“Have learned how Mas, we talk about it not too long ago and of course my alarm will I make sure noisy tomorrow morning."

 

“Mas, currently no longer in love with anyone kok Dek, especially in marriage ties. It's still alone. Do I need to send a photo of KTP Mas?? Eem Mas knows what you're worried about. Although Mas just knew you, but Mas knows exactly how you are."

 

“ So scared, scared by the last word Mas. I'm only worried if I'm in the middle of someone's relationship. I don't want to mess around with things like that."

 

“Like the code, lest Mas be welcome to enter the palace in your heart,"

 

“ Mas aja weird, know also yesterday. How each of us faces we do not know. How the background of us also do not know, suddenly say gotu”

 

“Which why? Comfortable it's not from the face you know dear,”

 

“That tail's the word, make me soar! I'm a kid, don't get mixed up. Entar is lulled, washed away! Hehehe”

 

“ This is what makes me more comfortable, you are really fun. I really don't know how to describe the feeling of Mas,”

 

“Maybe just because Mas was lonely times?"

 

“It seems not, because Mas is very busy. Sometimes I forget to be so busy. There seemed to be a question in Mas's heart, Mas was a little curious. Not a little, but very curious. You're still in school, right? Keep saying yesterday, guiding Ms. Lasmi's son. What does it guide?”

 

“ After I told a lot, maybe the comfort that Mas felt was gone. Actually I am from a simple puualling family, I give guidance to the son of Miss Lasmi every day and get a salary from it. I also got another job, handing out the clothes of my neighbors. Sometimes orders from the village next door also exist. I used it for school and to meet my needs. Every school break, I help out in the cafeteria. Alhamdulillah get wages and rations lunch”

 

“Wau-wau..(while clucking and bobbing) Beautiful.(call her in a soft voice )

Whose daughter is this? Mas very moved and I am very proud of you Dek, surely your parents are very proud of you Dek. Those who don't have you are proud. Who would get a girl as amazing as this, in this day and age? There are girls with personalities like you. Can I ask?”

 

“From earlier I also asked, and spoke very widely the results of the length of the width (i closed my mouth ). Are you ashamed to know a poor girl like me? Because of Mas's aura, Mas is not just a simple person”

 

“Tu right, there are evasive smells! Question Mas, can Mas queue?”

 

“What is it?”

 

“Antry so prospective husband, ask for queue number 1 yes Dek, must directly acc dong!"

 

“Mas weird! Mas, it looks like I have not been able to resist sleepiness, tomorrow connected again huh?”

 

“ Yes already, met powder is beautiful, spirit! Good night..”

 

“Good night too,"
