18. Take-home

Zahra pensively looked at Loe's back until it disappeared from her sight.

"Zahra quickly sat down." ordered Mr. Budi.

"D-well sir" he said as he sat in his chair.

Almost twenty minutes Budi taught, making Zahra agitated. Sandari had her eyes occasionally look at the door that was slightly open, she felt bad for Leo, should she be outside, not Leo.

"Sir." said Zahra standing up.

Mr. Budi turned around, he looked at Zahra in wonder. "What else is Zahra?" tanyakanya.

"Sorry sir. Zahra should be outside, not Leo" he said, staring at Mr. Budi.

"This book has Leo sir, not Zahra" he said again.

"Ra, you what the hell?!" ririn whispered, making Zahra immediately turn her head.

"This is Leo's book, not Zahra's. Zahra should have come out, not Leo. Kasian Leo." whispered.

"Sorry sir, Zahra excuse me to come out" he said, then left class.

...---oOo---...

Outside the classroom, Zahra sees Leo sitting down. Slowly he approached and sat down next to him.

Leo looked up, then looked straight ahead. "Well?" tanyakanya.

"Leo went to class there" he said, making Leo turn his head again, raising one eyebrow.

"Leo goes to class there, Leo should be in class, not outside" he said again.

Leo sighed violently, then stood up. Both hands he put in his pants pocket. "Males!" then immediately went from before Zahra, making Zahra immediately stand up and follow Leo.

"Leo wait." he shouted as he followed Leo from behind.

Leo kept going, he didn't care about Zahra behind him.

"Remain to this place Leo?" zahra asked in surprise, she looked around confused.

Leo turned his body, he looked at Zahra flatly. "Back of class!" his orders.

"No way!" push it down while sitting under a tree, then lean his back.

Leo let out a rough sigh, then he sat down beside Zahra.

"Lo not angry?" leo asked suddenly, making Zahra close her eyes, immediately opened her eyes to look at Leo asking.

"angry? Angry because of what?" tanyanya.

Leo clucked in annoyance. "Lupain." then closed his eyes, enjoying the cool breeze.

"Leo was weird" said Zahra, then immediately closed his eyes, enjoying the cool breeze.

Leo opened one eye, then closed his eyes again. He smiled thinly.

Almost half an hour into their position, the annoyed Leo finally opened his eyes, as he heard a soft snoring beside him.

He saw Zahra who was snoring softly, he smiled faintly, Zahra was asleep.

Over time Leo continued to look at the innocent face of Zahra who was sleeping like that, his face looks peaceful if like that. Then his hand slowly carried Zahra's head to his shoulder.

He rubbed Zahra's head gently.

"Sorry Ra. Actually I'm the one who rusakin package book Lo." whispered slowly, then helped close his eyes back.

...---oOo---...

"Eugh." Zahra rubbed her eyes, she opened her eyes several times.

Holy hooch! He overslept.

Then Zahra turned her head to the side, smiling, and Leo fell asleep too.

Zahra kept looking at Leo's face, to the point that she didn't realize Leo had woken up and was staring back as well.

"Are you satisfied you haven't seen me?" tanyakanya.

"Ehh." Zahra scratched his head that was not itchy, he felt wrong behavior made, then quickly he immediately looked the other way.

Leo smiled slantingly, then stood up, making Zahra look straight at Leo.

"Where are you going?" tanyakanya.

"Go home" he replied without looking at Zahra, then left Zahra.

Zahra sighed patiently, always so, always at staying just like that. Then he quickly left that place.

...---oOo---...

"Ra, come back with me." invite Fahmi when it's in front of Zahra.

"Not Mi, thank you." he refused, then he looked to the left right, hoping that there was a public vehicle passing.

"There will be no angkot through the afternoon gini" said Fahmi, making Zahra immediately see the clock on his wrist.

"Nih pack the helmet" he said, giving his helmet.

"No need for Mi. Zahra can go home alone." she refused while shaking slowly.

Fahmi sighed, then got off his bike. "Come on." then pulled Zahra's hand slowly, making Zahra surprised.

"Ehh. No need to Mi." refused again.

"Nih put it." when he was about to put a helmet on Zahra's coconut, Zahra had already been pulled by someone.

"He's coming back with me!" leo said flatly while holding Zahra's hand.

Fahmi advanced closer, he steady Leo flat. "Gue took her first."

Leo looked at Fahmi flatly, then advanced even closer. "Inget, she's my girl!" whisper, then smile on her side. After that, he immediately took Zahra into his car.

Fahmi growled in annoyance, he clenched his hands tightly.

Shit, he lost again!

...---oOo---...

During the trip the two were silent to each other, they focused on their respective thoughts.

Honestly, Zahra is not good if you keep quiet like this, it feels like there is no one.

"Ekhem." dechemnya, make Leo turn, then refocus driving.

"Lo sick?" ask without looking at Zahra.

"No." he replied.

"Continue?" then he looked at Zahra.

Zahra sighed harshly. "When isn't Leo being cold with Zahra anymore?" tanyakanya.

Leo shrugged his shoulders. "Emang why?"

Zahra again sighed harshly, then looked at Leo. "Zahra confused Leo. Sometimes Zahra thinks Leo's cold attitude is just the same for the doang people, it turns out Zahra is too."

"But–"

"But what?" cut it.

"But Leo didn't act cold like Caca?" tanyanya polo's.

"Keep Leo it's his attitude sometimes. Sometimes good, sometimes cold, sometimes indifferent, sometimes......"

"rough" he said again.

Leo pulled his car over the side of the road, then he opened his glasses, then looked at Zahra close.

"What does it matter to you?" tanyakanya.

Zahra slightly moved away, then faced the forward pass. "Leo doesn't consider Zahra Leo's girlfriend?" he asked without looking at Leo, with all his strength he held back his tears from coming out.

Leo returned to his normal state, he did not answer Zahra's questions, and then drove back to his car.

Zahra let out a slow breath, but Leo did not answer her question. Is it hard to answer? Having a mouth.

"Leo stop!" he said suddenly, so that made Leo immediately braked suddenly, and with annoyance then looked at Zahra.

"Lo what the hell, huh?!" he did not think about Zahra.

"Pake said stop everything, thankfully there's no other car ahead!" continued again.

Zahra was scared. "Sorry Leo" he said softly, making Leo sigh violently.

"Zahra got down here" he said, then opened the car door, before Zahra's hand was pulled out first, making him surprised.

"Your house is still far away" he said.

"Zahra knows." then looked at Leo, "Thank you for the ride. Ouh iyah, Leo be careful on the road well." he said, then smiled widely.

Leo raised his eyebrows. "Well, did you get down here?"

"Zahra wants Leo's work, Leo's time does not know that Zahra works at the cafe." while pointing at the cafe.

"Oh" he said, then turned back to face the front, "There come down!"

Zahra nodded, before descending she smiled broadly at Leo, making Leo look at Zahra strangely.

"Lo weird!" said it.

Zahra chuckled softly. "Be careful in the way of Leonya Zahra." while pinching Leo's cheeks, after which Zahra immediately rushed out of the car, fearing that Leo would run amok.

Leo fell silent at Zahra's treatment, then his hand slowly held both cheeks.

After that smile thinly, then drive his car back.

"It's so weird for people!"
