“Rama, you know the name of the school where Alexa teaches?” ask Rama who just came out of his room.
He looked surprised by my presence at the door, but he immediately returned to calm.
Rama, clutching a DSLR camera bag, stroked his chest to calm his shocked heart.
“Tumben Kak Balin asked Kak Alexa,” muttered Rama.
“Hey, quickly reply!” I snapped while shaking my feet.
Rama sighed, “Why do you not ask directly to Kak Alexa?”
“You are it? Asked even back to tanya.”
Rama chuckled mockingly, “Kak Balin would want to see Kak Alexa huh? Kangen, the story. Just left teaching, it's like being left eloped alone.”
“Do not carelessly talk yes?” I pretend to argue.
I have to admit, I wanted to meet him.
“Kak Balin, listen to me! Alexa's sister is a kindergarten teacher, will be home soon. Not yesterday I just met?”
Rama grinned widely.
“Don't be pretentious, huh? Me and Alexa have business, you know.”
“What business? Business household?”
I opened my eyes and was ready to beat up the songong sister. However, I broke my intention. Free, beating it will not eliminate the ingrained evil.
Reflectively, Rama raised his hand to take cover, but he also indirectly showed the camera hanging on his arm.
And at that moment I realized that Rama had once brought a camera.
“Where are you going? not usually you bring a camera,” I asked suspiciously.
“A-I want to learn photography, Brother,” said Rama nervously.
“Tumben.”
“I-iya.. I-It's my new hobby, Brother,” Rama is getting nervous.
And I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. I stretched out my hand before Rama's face.
“Where do I see your shots!”
“What?” Rama flabbergasted. He hides the camera behind his body.
“I want to see how good your photos are.”
“Start also not yet. It's the first day I learned photography.”
“Oh so yes?”
Rama nodded.
I know Rama lied. So I pointed my index finger towards the front door.
“See! no Shinta!”
Rama's head automatically turned in the direction I pointed, and as quickly as possible I grabbed the camera in Rama's hands.
My sister yelled, and reached out to take the camera back from me.
He must be hiding something. It was obvious from his strange behavior.
So I opened the photo on the camera, and it turned out...
I stared intently at Rama who replied with a cry. He scratched his head in the wrong manner.
Not long after, I deleted the photos that contained me with Alexa in the car when we came home for dinner.
After that I handed the camera to Rama and passed away.
***
My car stops in front of a kindergarten school that seems to be an elite school.
The teaching process is finished. Seen from the already deserted atmosphere of the school. There were only two different generation girls still standing in front of the school gate.
She's Alexa with a little girl with two hairs on her back.
I got out of the car, approached Alexa who was stunned to see me.
“Balin?” said Alexa in disbelief, “What are you here for?”
“I accidentally passed by,” I said lie.
“You're with Kirana?”
“You want to go home? You're done teaching, right?”
“Yes, but I'm waiting for the person who will pick up Gina.”
Alexa pointed at the boy she had been with since. The two pigtails looked at me. Then because I seemed unattractive to him, he snarled.
No matter what, suddenly the wind blew hard, hit Alexa's curls and made it messy.
Alexa clucked in annoyance, her hands reached into her pockets to pick up a hairband and she pinched her hair high.
The scene of Alexa tying her hair, as if bewitching me. She looked elegant, but only tied her hair. Time slowed down and it was like someone lit melodious music in my ears.
“Why haven't I been picked up yet?” lamented Gina.
“Maybe stuck on the road. Gina wait a minute, huh?” alexa calms Gina with her soft voice.
Before long, a car stopped across the street.
“Well it was him,” Gina pointed.
From inside the gray car, came down a gray man wearing an expensive suit.
But I would love to laugh because that maroon suit is not very suitable combined with green checkered pants.
“Daddy... Daddy.. “Gina cheered cheerfully as the grizzled man approached.
Whahuh? So he's his father? I thought his grandfather.
“Hai, My Sweety,”the man hugged Gina.
Then the man turned to greet Alexa who was replied with a nod. He didn't greet me at all. Like I'm an invisible creature.
“Thank you so much, Miss Alexa, has accompanied Gina.”
The grizzled man shakes hands with Alexa. And with my own eyes, I saw the grizzled man clutching Alexa's smooth hand for a long time, even though Alexa struggled to untie the hand.
I deliberately cleared my throat which made the man shocked and released Alexa's hand.
How dare he!
“The driver who used to pick up Gina was on leave and I had a meeting with an important client. So I'm a little late pick up Gina.”
Alexa just smiled.
“Oh yes, Miss Alexa, would you like to have lunch with me and Gina? Coincidentally after this we will eat at an expensive restaurant near here.”
Alexa shakes, “No. Thank you, Mr. Robert.”
“Lho, don't call sir. Just call Robert.”
The little man smiled and blinked one eye at Alexa.
Without being seen by anyone my hands were clenched tightly, until my knuckles turned white.
However, I only cleared my throat as an outlet of my anger. Then Robert glanced at me cynically.
“What is she the new cleaning staff, Miss Alexa?”
“Oh... “ Alexa flutter when answering. So I'm just as dumb as he says.
I embrace Alexa's shoulder and exclaim, “I'm her boyfriend Alexa. Excuse me to go first, Grandpa.”
Immediately I pulled Alexa into my car and left Robert and Gina standing in front of the school.
Alexa and I didn't say anything for a few minutes. I concentrated on driving, still leaving anger in my chest.
While Alexa looked back, chatting with Kirana. Although Kirana could not answer.
“Did that old man bother you often?” ask me with a furious tone. I hear the sound of my teeth ringing.
“Why are you silent just being teased like that?”
“Oh, or... You're happy that many men tease you like that?”
Alexa glanced at me and asked back, “Why do you care about me?”
Uh, yeah, why am I being so jealous? I'm not who he is.
I cleared my throat, turning my facial expression into calm and calm mode.
“Do not be too confident huh?” kataku cynic. “I just don't like this planet earth inhabited by men who easily spread charm to all women.”
“Oh, so,” muttered Alexa.
From the end of my eyes, I saw her smiling sweetly.
