π I open the window curtains, peeking from the sidelines of the window. I looked at the sky which was crying incessantly from dawn until now.
" sister is already at 6:15 nih" call me to brother adam who sits while playing his phone, on his side there is alif who also looks at the screen of his cellphone brother adam.
" sister." call me again in a rather loud tone for him to hear, for he seems to be engrossed in playing games.
" what??? " answered without looking at me.
" it's 6:15" I said, because school's 7 in the morning. I was afraid of being late for the next time.
" it's still raining deck, at most no one has come "this time brother replied while looking at me.
" just go!!! why not walk???, is there a raincoat "sahut mama who just came out of the kitchen. But sister continues to slip for the road later on but mama continues to argue firmly to keep the road. And finally the winner is mama π
Wearing raincoats, the three of us went to school, this time alif came with us because of the rain.
It didn't take me about 15 minutes, after delivering alif, finally me and my brother arrived at the school parking lot. Get off the bike I saw big brother's shoes and his trousers filled with black spots.
" It's dirty, told to wear sandals don't want the hell "my scolding. Because of the rain I wrapped my shoes and socks with scraped paper which I then put in a bag and chose to wear sandals first so as not to get wet.
" Ribet... "
" it is important not to get wet shoes, later his legs become fat" said I as he folded the raincoat.
" it's okay"
" well it's up to brother dachhh "I give my raincoat to brother to enter, I walk first leaving brother who is still busy cleaning himself.
Since the parking distance with my class was not far enough, I decided to run through thousands of falling water simultaneously. Crossing into the classroom building, I saw the raka who was also there cleaning up, my legs suddenly stopped feeling a tight chest
" Kei.. raindrop" call raka, make me aware and immediately pull over .
" why silence ??? " he said again, but I did not respond I was still silent with what I felt, my chest still hurt. I was confused because I felt it this time. Am I having a heart attack??? my question is in my heart.
" kei...????"
"a. "my answer looked at him, our eyes staring at each other my heart getting faster and faster, in a moment I immediately turned my eyes away.
" let's go to class "take me after finishing tidying up, because we have to go through some classes and stairs first to get to Class.
I walked first, I was really nervous to walk alone with him when it used to be normal. Along the way he asked me to talk but my mouth felt like I couldn't say anything so I could only answer yes. Though in my heart I answered at length. unfortunately he did not hear my heart.
Keep walking with the mind drifting to and fro, when climbing the stairs I did not see any puddles. My leg slipped,,,,, I,,,
"aggh.." I shouted, as soon as my heart felt a thousand beats faster than before.
" Kei. "I heard the sound of raka screaming. made me realize from my thought, which I thought I was going to fall. I swiftly extended my left hand to hold on to the available handle beside the stairs.
Fortunately the rain was so heavy that my voice was not heard, if the children heard my voice, I was sure they were at the gathering to see me.
" Astagfirullah" I said as I stroked my chest.I looked back at the long breath of raka I saw her hands held up as if they were going to catch me.
He ran up to me "Be careful of the loss"
" yes. sorry " said continue the road, and this time the road is slow because my slippers slippery exposed to water.
Arriving at the class I immediately sat down, the class felt very quiet and cold for sure. Dinda and the princess have not arrived yet. Iki didn't go to school because he was still sick he said.
Raka is now sitting on my right with Rika.
I change my sandals, wear socks and shoes "uhhh "ringisku in pain I feel my left foot sprained because it was strange how not to feel sih, I said in my heart.
" why?? " many raka
" There is no "my answer without looking, for I am ashamed to see it.
Moments later the other friends on came including dinda and princess. It's 8 in the morning the teacher hasn't come yet the rain has still not subsided. Some children come out to the classroom terrace to see the rain but there are also those who choose to stay in the classroom with all their activities such as Rafael who is sleeping, Lesti and friends who are chatting, and who are not, and other.
And I'm among those who choose to stay in class and chat with my friends.
Dinda and the princess told me about the upperclassman she loved.
It was thought that the daughter of the book she borrowed was missing, and when she was about to tell the senior brother it turned out that the book was already on her. How relieved the princess heard it when the senior brother even smiled to see the princess who looked relieved.
" Why not say immediately try, you are not tired of looking everywhere the book "my comment
" it's okay that I'm wrong to forget the narrative "said the princess. In the middle of the chat we raka sat on iki's seat. I immediately stood up I was really salting for him. My heart was beating faster.
" where are you going?? " ask princess and dinda together.
" want to go outside for a while" I said, I actually wanted to join the conversation as well but I also confused my own reflex body. I'm really scared because my heart hurts.
I finally left the class to join the other children in front of the classroom terrace. Every now and then I glanced back and saw the three of them chatting.
" uh. "I let out a long sigh, I stretched out my right hand against the waters falling from the sky.
At a glance from above I saw brother Adam chatting with a woman. A woman I don't know. Looking towards the bottom of the class, I saw my teacher-in-law's mom walking over maybe going to class.
I also went to class, with my legs still sore I walked slowly.
" Why are his legs, sick? " ask the princess.
" sprain "my answer is short.
" how could it? " this time, I asked. I finally told you about the tragedy I had. Without informing that there was a raka during the tragedy.
Probably aware that since I didn't say her name, Raka turned her head towards me, I saw her but I immediately turned my face away I was really afraid to look into her eyes I was afraid my chest was tight again.
returning to the subjects of natural science, Bu Eyen was already in front of the class telling each group to forward presenting the paper assignments given 2 weeks ago.
The presentation began with Rika as moderator and she as speaker.
Throughout the explanation, I feel he continues to look at me like just explaining to me. ihhh..., I said in my heart once in a while glancing to and fro other friends.
" raka, if you explain don't just look in one direction, you have to look at the other audience" said the teacher.
" yes ma'am "answered
I was totally misbehaved by him, but maybe it wasn't directed at me. Raka followed the teacher's advice unfortunately again - again I felt she was back at me, saw her I laughed a little, I saw her smile, then went back to explain in the other direction.
though I've told myself not to go too to GRan, but in fact it feels can't because I'm already happy. My heart feels like it wants to jump.
It was my turn to advance. When I explained I never dared to look at him.
Arrived at rest, because it rained I was lazy to go to the cafeteria, when in fact the rain had stopped but saw the muddle so lazy out. Dinda and the princess also chose to go to class.
Again he sat on the bench iki, I who did not want to go to the cafeteria so had to go to the cafeteria because to avoid it.
" i'm going to the cafeteria, anyone want a nitip? "
" nitip drink yes" said dinda
" put??? " many
" there's no kei"
I walked to the cafeteria with my leg still sore from a sprain π
In the cafeteria I met the girl I saw earlier talking seriously with my sister. From behind I noticed it I was really curious π
It was my turn, I paid for my food, and I left immediately.
" why your leg? " say someone who is no stranger to me. My brother patted me on the shoulder so I inevitably looked back.
" sprain π" I said spoiled
" sook cute lo. "said brother. "oh yes dek payain brother dong "
"ogah" said I left her, but sister pulled my hijab.
" sister.". "I turned to look at brother.
" come on deck.., just once "the door blinks her eyes.
" where's sis pocket money ??? "
" sister tube "
" most in the tube to buy a quota of games right? " introduction. I want to finally get my money out
" nih..., tomorrow-tomorrow adek also brother "π I give a piece of my money.
In class, he was still sitting there. Until the lesson time was about to start he sat next to me. During the lesson hours until the lesson time runs out, the lesson, the isoma, study and finally go home we do not speak a word.
I walked to the parking lot first leaving the dinda, princess, and raka who were still sitting. Until the parking lot I waited a little long brother has not come out too.
I don't want to see him in the parking lot again.
" yohhh hasn't come home yet?? " tanyanya
" yes "my answer was brief without turning towards her. My gaze kept bowing down. Finally, my brother came and he left.
" the motor key "
" what's the key to the motor? brother not coming home?? "
" sister there's enrichment, , maybe 6 o'clock "
" but adek can not cross kak "because the first time using the motor to school so I do not dare. usually on the streets deserted can.
" slowly wear it" until the sound of a motor speeding beside me.
" ah. "sister called someone.
" who's the name? " sister turned his head towards me and asked , brother seemed like he was almost about to call ahok
" raka "my answer is short.
" Raka "call brother, hear brother raka's call stop and look back.
" May I ask no help, sebrangin kei later in front there he can not cross "
" maybe "quickly answer.
" Thank you "my sister replied, my sister turned her head back towards me.
" yes already there the road, inget slowly wear, inget the brother taught "I remember what was taught you should not overtake from the left side, if you want to overtake the horn first, if you want to overtake the horn first, if you want to turn the lighting on the other about 7 m from the bend and others.
I quickly rode the bike and turned it on, there the raka was waiting.
Already in the same position we went hand in hand him in front and me in back. Up ahead he helped me cross the road.
I took a moment without looking back saying Thank you. I was afraid to look back for fear when I looked at the motor in front of me.
" Be careful "he shouted.
π**I'm really confused by what happened to me. I think I like it but instead of getting close, I avoid it.
