Oh My Love's

Oh My Love's
Early on



Sunlight began to enter the cracks of the window, illuminating part of the room and dazzling the face of the master of the room. The clattering sound of the alarm clock is heard loudly making hearing disturbed, eyelids open, and calmness in continuing to enjoy the throne of sleep. Get up and rub your eyes slowly to gather awareness after reaping the dream overnight.


I stretch my body and start my morning routine, starting with making my bed, then taking a shower to get ready for school. After that, go out of the room to pick up a piece of toast and a glass of milk from the refrigerator to fill my empty stomach.


The atmosphere of the apartment unit was so quiet. There is no existence of Sasha, because it must have departed before me on the grounds that we do not cross paths or create an awkward atmosphere if we meet each other. After all, his presence did not change the gloomy atmosphere of this place.


I fixed the tie position and the apartment was locked before I left for the bus stop to go to a school a good distance away. Next, I arrived at SMAN 26 with a crowd of happy disciples. Among them, there are hordes of hobbies that cause a commotion, ambitious children who walk while reading, lovers, and a girl who is cloudy by posting false cheer like me.


"Hey, morning Lia."


My shoulder was patted and there appeared an inverted bob-haired girl who smiled broadly in greeting me.


"By the morning, Hana, too" I replied.


The prettiest man I've ever seen and he's been my best friend ever since I started this school. Sakura Hana. Sounding from the name alone, it means that the blood of Japanese descent has flowed to him. Before or now, we've always been in the same class and I hope it continues like this.


Accidentally, my bead glanced at the main building of the school, a second-floor window had displayed a person from the side reading a book. His one hand supported his head, thus adding a dazzling impression in the eyes of anyone, including myself.


"Aww, look at Sasha! It's cool to see from here."


"I want to take a picture of him first, this is the best moment."


"It's very handsome himself."


There began to be cheers from Sasha fans who were shameless in expressing their likes and interest. So much, but that's the truth. However, Sasha never brushed anything from them, whether in terms of speech or a collection of gifts for her. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons to leave so early in the morning so as not to be mobbed by crazy fans when entering school.


The bell rang just as I entered the classroom.


At the same time, Hana ran around to the front of the bench and said, "Morning, Sasha!"


"Morning," Sasha replied gently.


Hana's cheeks became a dead red after being given a response from her greeting.


When sitting on the bench next to the man, he seemed misbehaved and excited inwardly. I can only smile when I see this normal. Had I not had a secret relationship with Sasha, it was possible that my attitude would have made no difference like Hana's.


The bench behind Hana is mine. When I sat down, she turned her body around and whispered, "Sasha returned my greeting! This is really surprising."


My little laugh came out and nodded slowly as she replied, "Good, Hana."


In a split second, our fierce homeroom teacher arrived with a rattan and began reading the absent book.


"Alright, give a loud voice in confirming the presence!" the teacher's orders. "Awas only there are unchecked alpha. I'll be a tough law."


The whole class started shivering.


"Lilian Ashley."


"Right, Sir!"


"Sasha Adriansyah."


"Given!"


Master nodded after hearing Sasha's voice. "Basic child exemplary. Yesterday, you got the perfect score in a daily replay of learning the entire IPA category. Nice-good! Later, don't forget to take a gift from my office."


A proud hand has been given to Sasha who became the pride of the school.


"It has. I'm continuing to pass on, Riliana Celeste."


"Right, Sir!" lantang.


"Good-good. There are also exemplary students who take part in small academic competitions such as Sasha. I am proud to be the homeroom teacher in a class of great children" said Mr. Guru who made me blush at the praise.


"Continue. Alakai Adiputra's ... Kai, where's Kai's voice?"


"He's going to the WC, sir!" exclaim Ashley.


"Yes, anyway? I saw Kai come out of school without a bag" said the others to make Ashley glare fiercely at him.


"Ashley, you always cover up the actions of Kai bolods. You guys are really bad lovebirds. All right, Kai alva!" said the Master firmly.


The laughter from the class residents sounded loud, except from Sasha's mouth. I don't know since when, I started to watch him continuously without purpose. In short, learning as usual starts quietly.


In short, the time of rest has come. The whole school started flocking to the canteen so many kinds of delicious food and smoky. On the other hand, the field behind the school was definitely crowded with men playing futsal.


Hana and I sat on a canteen bench near a pot containing a small ornamental tree. A bowl filled with meatballs was ordered, while Hana just devoured a chocolate flavoring tart cake with a small size.


"I've told you about this before, haven't I?" hana asked after swallowing the chocolate cake that littered the corner of her lips.


"About what?"


"That I really like Sasha." Both of her hands held her cheeks and acted funny, as if she was imagining happiness in her mind. "We were close childhood friends. Whether it is TK, SD or SMP, we are always together inseparable."


"Oh, so yeah."


"Yes. At that time, she was so cute! Adorable and I'm not strong at remembering it!" hana said stirring.


"Remember in my mind, it was protecting Sasha from the bad boys on the playground. She was crying and I comforted her. Wow-wah, what a wonderful time."


Ah, that's right. Sasha was so cute as a child that I saw in the photo of our apartment.


"But, why is Sasha changing now, huh? I'm so sad." Hana's face put on a false depression. "It's okay, deh. Importantly, our friendship wasn't broken."


He has discussed this topic dozens of times. But I never protested and got bored. Listening and responding positively is my job as a friend. Moreover, it was impossible for me to divulge the marriage relationship of his royal man. My lips were tightly shut and harbored a feeling of guilt for being a barrier to their love just to please the last request of the family that had gone.


"Do you intend to express your feelings to her?" I took the tissue from the pocket of the skirt, then cleaned the stain off Hana's face. "It seems, you guys are perfect for being a romantic couple. So, when do you want to harbor this feeling?"


His head was also shaking slowly. "I'm too embarrassed to do that."


The chocolate cake ran out, and Hana turned her head outside the canteen with a pseudo-gaze. "Our friendship won't be destroyed just because I put feelings on her."


It is undeniable that his words. It sounded so painful, because I knew very well how I was in that position, and actually I was going through the same thing.


"Oh yeah, you changed the story, Lia." Hana looked back at me cheerfully. "Who do you like! Let's tell you, quick."


"I ..."


Suddenly, a coldness came over this tyrannical cheek and made me soar in shock to the point of almost shouting. At the same time, Hana and I turned to see a tall man sticking a soda can from the refrigerator on my face.


Her lips put on a sweet smile, then sat down next to me. "Bonch what? As cool as hell."


"Sister Kaivan surprised me!" I said to that man.


He was our level brother, the chairman of OSIS SMAN 26, and the one who made me fall in love for the first time. That kind of friendliness, firmness, care and smile has made me a fan of his secrets. A calm feeling was always present when he was by my side like this. I always chanted hope that time would stop for a moment and let me be with Kaivan. Instantly remembered in my brain how it had been our first meeting. The beginning of what became the most beautiful history of my life.


At that time, I often cried in longing for the presence of parents. Self-hate, envy of others, reject the fact that misfortune befalls me. Many times tears are spilled soaking the hands and cheeks with the aim of venting such useless sorrow. The air of bitterness and emptiness always accompanies at every step. The tree behind the school has been used as a place to release the pain that sinks into the heart. At that very moment, a foreign man appeared sitting next to me.


"Why crying?" ask without looking at me.


"It's none of your business," I answered tightly on the sidelines.


"Yeah, it's not. But, isn't telling stories going to make you feel better?"


Suddenly, I was stunned by his words. All this time, I never told you what was the bitterness in life. Even Hannah did not know it. Apparently, this pain comes from a heart that holds too much weight.


CRINGS!


I have not yet answered the person's words, the bell that signifies the order to enter the classroom has rung. He got up and rested his arms on the tree.


"You don't want to go back to class?"


A heavy breath was breathed from his mouth, then said, "How can I go first if my duty is to patrol the students late entering the classroom?"


My head looked up and immediately saw a name-tag in front of the man's pocket that read 'OSIS Patrol Ticket - OSIS Vice - Kaivan Jayantara'. Vice OSIS is a degree earned only on second-level brothers in High School.


This rush of feet stood up and started to step away.


"Don't go first. You're already late. Therefore, tell me your name," asked Kaivan Kak while taking out a ballpoint pen from his pants pocket and ready to write my name on his palm.


Nervously, I replied, "Ri-riliana."


"Give me your nickname.


"Lia."


After writing my name, Kaivan walked over and unexpectedly stroked my hair gently.


"Don't be so stiff, I just want to know your name, Lia," he said with hospitality. "Well, hurry back to class before the other OSIS sees you."


Deeply moved, I nodded and ran away to class. Thankfully, I thought I would get into trouble and ruin my image as an exemplary student.


Even the next day, we met again and again in the same place. There was no day for me to shed tears and it felt like I was tempted to pour out my heart to Kaivan Brother who cared so much about my feelings. All the stories of my life have been told to her. With such a good response, comfort enveloped me and I had decided that no man was super caring for a girl other than Kaivan.


"You like this place so much, Lia?" Kaivan asked as we ate mochi together in the back tree of the school.


"Yes, I really like it. So soothing and cold."


She also laughed a little. "real said. Ever since I entered SMAN 26, this tree has been my place of contemplation and self-soothing.


Apparently, Kaivan first knew this place before me.


My reflex gasped and hurriedly said, "Ah, am I okay to always be here?"


"of course. Don't worry."


Pleasant feeling. Even so, I know the fact that he now has a lover who makes me have to accept the fact that it is not possible to have more relationships with him. Supposedly, this feeling I said quickly before he had a love affair with another girl. This is what is called regret always lies at the end. This care and comfort only becomes limited between brother and sister. It won't be more like I expected.


It's hard for me to tell if the girl who loves to cry in her arms has been secretly married. Moreover, the status of the students I have with Sasha should be well preserved until we graduate. So many obstacles to our respective desires, such as Hana and Shasha, or I'm with Kaivan's sister. These are the twists and turns we have to go through together.


"Hello, Chief OSIS!" greet Hana cheerfully which makes my daydream spread in an instant. "So we talked about the person we liked, Chairman."


Brother Kaivan laughed a little. "Wah-wah. So, who do you like? Is it the same person?"


Hana glanced to the right and held back a smile. "Surely the most popular boy in this school."


"Am I?"


Suddenly we both took turns laughing with a confident attitude Kaivan brother who considers himself the most popular man. Not wrong either, because the head of OSIS has definitely entered the list of famous students in school.


"No, Brother. Hana means Sasha" I replied after trying to stop laughing.


A hissing sound had come out from the mouth of the girl who was resisting the embarrassed reaction on her face. "Lia, don't say it!"


"Oh my goodness, apparently that cute-ass man. There's just you guys." Kaivan opened the soda can and gave it to me. "Drink."


"Thank you" I said in accepting his gift. "Sister Kaivan, do you want meatballs?"


"Can!" His mouth opened signifying to receive the meatballs from my bowl.


I fed her one meatball with pleasure and saw Hana who was watching our behavior.


"Look over there, there's Mr. President." Kaivan tried to speak while pointing to the outside of the canteen.


Hana was surprised instead of playing and turned to the direction she was heading in with a little frenzy. His head was wry, his eyes narrowed to make sure that the information from Kaivan's sister was correct.


"Where is the President? If anything, shouldn't there be a welcome event?" Hana looked at Kaivan Brother in confusion. "Or was there someone who was mocked as 'Sir President'?"


"Not really, but that's the name," replied Kaivan and again pointed that apparently leads to a orange-clothed cat sleeping on the side of the road.


My head shook and said, "I mean cat, Hana."


"The name sounds really weird!" scorned annoyed.


"It's not weird, though," said Kaivan. "Look at his flat face even though he was asleep. His large body and distended stomach, and then behave ferociously when someone approaches him."


A cell phone was taken out by Hana. "I think I should record this and complain to the real President through his social media."


"Hey-hey! It's good to do that." Kaivan looked panicked and coughed almost choking.


He is so hobby to give funny names to animals on the streets. Not only good-natured, humorous is also one of its main traits.


"Lia, I've been to your house for a few days. However, there is no one. Where have you been lately?" Kaivan's sister asked me a question that jolted me. "Did you move house?"


"Ah, yes. Me, I'm moving house," I lie. Suddenly, I bit my lip, then said, "Sister should have told me before going to my house."


"Yes too. If we're as diligent as we used to be, I don't have to ask to come to your house, do I?"


Right enough. At that time, before he declared that a beautiful girl had become his lover, we both always went home together by bus. Not only that, Kaivan also familiarized himself with grandmother, as if being a brother figure in a family filled with loneliness. When grandma went to God's side, she was just as devastated as I was. However, a strong attitude was forced to be displayed in order to comfort me who felt broken into pieces.


"Oh yeah, Hana. You were called by the Headmaster in discussing the academic race later," Kaivan said. "Let's hurry. Sasha was there too."


Hana hastily turned on the phone camera to reflect, then said goodbye to me for being excited in coming to her heart.


Now, we were left with the two of us sitting next to each other so close. I should have been used to this situation. However, my heart was beating fast and the feeling of nervousness began to cover up as much as possible.


"How are you?"


I took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly and replied, "Well. What about Kaivan's sister?"


"As you can see now." His shoulders poked for a moment, then took out two brown wafers from his shirt pocket and gave him one for me. "I just remembered, if it's rare to give you chocolate which is already your favorite."


My lips are unceasingly smiling at Brother Kaivan's treatment. It feels romantic, but can only be branded as a sense of caring for a brother.


"Thank you." I took the wafer and ate it straight away.


"Don't think about me overreacting, brother. After all, Kaivan has his own busy life and should not be too pushy to split time for me."


"What are you talking about? Don't think of me as someone you just knew yesterday, Lia," he said in a quiet voice. "Oh yeah. This time, we have to get back together like we used to, okay?"


My face looked at him for a moment a sign of confusion. "Wouldn't Kaivan's sister have gone home with her own lover?"


"Love yourself?" He was silent for a moment. "Oh, you mean Karin. Lately, he has been busy with his amazing work. You know for yourself, don't you know if I've told you?"


My head nodded. "Being a model is not something to be underestimated. Kaivan's brother is lucky to have a girl like Karin's sister."


A model, that's the profession of lover Kaivan Kak memorable extraordinary in the eyes of high school children, yes although still the initial training category before actually taking a job. Surely it already has a beautiful and elegant face, or rather not like me.


"Sister Kaivan must be lonely a lot."


"Not really, Lia," she replied. "I always fill my free time with important organizational tasks."


"Good then. Don't push yourself too much either" I said gently. "If Kaivan's sister is lonely, come to me at any time."


"You are a kind brother." His hand is stroking my hair. "So, how? Wanna come home with me again, won't you?"


"Sure!" I became enthusiastic when I answered.
