Paper Layangan

Evades

"Al, what's wrong with you? since this morning, he has always been avoiding us. Do you have a problem?" asked Irfan who was sitting next to Al at the back of the school. During the first lesson, Al did not follow. His three best friends seem astonished that this is not usually the case with Al, because Al is an exemplary student.

"There are only minor problems at home" Al replied with a sigh and covered his face with both hands.

"What's the matchmaking problem again?" ask Irfan who is leaning on the tree ketapang. "Or is there something else?" ask Irfan again. Because as he remembered Al was not like this when he told them that he would be betrothed, he was calm at that time. Then, why is he so frustrated now, what's wrong with Aldebran.

Al looked at his three best friends and nodded weakly. Let this time he lied to cover up all his problems, he did not want Aldo to be disappointed in him when he expressed the real problems.

Aldo continued to watch Al closely. He believes Al is not facing the problem, but there are other problems that are still hidden. He only silenced while occasionally glancing towards Angga and Irfan. His eyes widened as he remembered a name. Yeah, that figure must be the cause.

"You take it easy Al, we'll always be there for you" Andra said.

Al smiled, his heart screamed again with pain when all his friends cared but he felt he had betrayed this friendship. True said his father, he had to stay away from Eyebrows so that the friendship he had long built remained intact. But it takes time for all of that. For him it is not easy to forget the person who always makes his chest pound, the person who makes him feel comfortable and warm at the same time.

"Al, yuk canteen. Hungry!" chirp Irfan while smiling towards the three who were simultaneously staring at him.

"You guys go first, I'll catch up." replied Al.

"Are you really okay to be left alone?" ask Andra who looks worried.

"What the hell are you. I'll be fine, don't be naive." Al looked upset.

"Hahaha. yes-yes, I believe it." replied Andra who saw Al had changed his expression.

"Come on Fan, Do!" bring Andra.

"I'm here for a minute, you're the first." Aldo replied, closing his eyes for a moment.

Irfan and Andra nodded their heads and immediately left from there leaving Al and Aldo both.

"What are you hiding?" aldo asked while looking at Al intently.

Al smiled cynically at Aldo, knowing that the source of the matter was Aldo. If Aldo refused, the match would not have taken place and Alis would have remained with him. This time it sounds selfish. "Nothing to do with you, Do." Al smiled bitterly. He swallowed his bitter taste.

"On Eyebrows, I really ask ma'af Al. This is not of my will. And also we__"

"Enough!" Al interjected and stood up. He stared hard at Aldo. "Don't you bring up that damn girl again in front of me. I don't like people who lie to me." Al hissing. He was very angry when Aldo brought up the matter again, surely Aldo would say the day of their engagement. Before he said it, Al cut him off first, not wanting to hear a more bitter reality.

Aldo was aghast to hear Al who looked angry when he mentioned the name of Alis, whether the mistake Al accused Al of Alis. And what really happened to him. Yesterday he looked fine even after they had spoken four-eyes on the rooftop, the situation was still the same. But today, well he'll find out for himself.

"Al, wait! Don't misunderstand me. I didn't__" Aldo stopped his words as Al raised his hand and continued his steps to get away from Aldo who was looking at him tightly clasping his hands together. He was disappointed in Al, because Al no longer believed him.

Aldo ran towards the 12th grade of ipa2, he stared at the Eyebrow class to look for the existence of Eyebrows, but the class seemed empty. "Where's the girl?" muttered Al while circulating his gaze sweeping across the entire hallway area of the school.

"Eh, brother Aldo. What's here again?" jessica asked with a sweet smile towards Aldo. He looked at Aldo with eyes in admiration. This man in front of him looked even more handsome than Al and also looked extremely cold.

Aldo turned around and stared at Jessica intently. She walked away without answering Jessica's questions.

Aldo continued to walk towards the library. He was sure that Eyebrows were there. He spread his gaze across the room the first time he entered the library.

Sure enough, the girl was here and she was asleep. Aldo scrunched his forehead, slowly he approached the sleeping Eyebrow with his head resting on the chair he was sitting on.

"Basar sloppy girl." muttered Aldo as he fixed the head of Eyebrows and brushed his hair covering his face. Aldo's desire to scold Alis and ask for an explanation from her back, he stared at the innocent face of Alis. Aldo leaned his Eyebrow head against his shoulder, his feelings warmed up. He felt a different feeling even for a long time he had noticed Eyebrows even before Al knew him. But his attention at that time was just curious.

Eyebrows moved his head, his hands did not remain silent. He changed his position by hugging Aldo from the side. His hand touched Aldo's chest. Hard and soft coke. Mumbled his eyebrows while slowly opening his eyes.

"Gee!" said Alis who was aghast at her sleeping position. He rushed away and shifted his seat, his eyes glancing back at Aldo.

"When was he here?" muttered Eyebrows to himself without turning to Aldo.

Aldo smiled at the muttering of the Eyebrows. "Since then." said Aldo with a ignorant smile.

Eyebrows glared at Aldo's words just now, he looked at both of his palms. So, whatever he did to this guy. Ish Eyebrows is so embarrassed.

"Calm down, you just hold me very tightly" Aldo said with a faint smile. He was widened in his heart when he saw the change in the look of the face of Eyebrows that looked funny in his eyes.

"Ma'af, I didn't know that you were sitting here either" said Alis grimacingly. But a second later he seemed to glare and glare in annoyance at Aldo. "Who are you, why sit here, instead of elsewhere there are still many empty places there." point Alis back to blame Aldo.

Aldo shook his head looking at the Eyebrows that could change his mood in an instant, from being embarrassed to being annoyed. "Sleeping princess, this is a library, not your personal bed" Aldo said as he stared at Alis with ignorance.

Eyebrows back down, he felt embarrassed because he had been caught sleeping in the library room coupled with he who ditched the first hour of study, and this was not the first time for him.

"As far as I am, this is not your place either" said Alis who returned annoyed.

"Yes, it's not my place but school rules require every student to attend class, instead of lazing around and sleeping here."

Checkmate. Eyebrows stared at Aldo with glares. He grimaced and held his nape. "Knowledge yes. Hehe.." said Eyebrow with a grin. He picked up the book in front of him and returned to reading with focus. He had forgotten the existence of Aldo who was beside him.

Aldo shook his head looking at the Eyebrow that had returned to its previous mode. He rested his head on the chair and absorbed his togetherness with the Eyebrows. 'Is this comfortable sitting with him?' aldo murmured in his heart. 'Ma'af Al if someday I can no longer close my heart, ma'af if someday I also love the same person you love.' muttered Aldo while closing his eyes slowly.

Eyebrows glanced for a moment at Aldo who closed his eyes, he just pretended to focus on reading to expel his embarrassment because the words of the man beside him were blunt.

Eyebrow's face returned sad when he recalled the figure of Al this morning, he again felt pain in his chest. He also did not know why he could be this sick just because he was ignored. He will try to behave like the beginning, Yes Eyebrows are closed and do not care about anything.

Meanwhile outside the library, a pair of eyes were staring at their existence wryly. Al clasped his hands tightly, he looked disappointed to see everything that had happened before his eyes since Alis fell asleep on Aldo's boat. He who had intended to talk briefly with Eyebrows had to swallow bitterly all the facts that were plastered in front of his eyes.

Al was really angry this time at Alis. Apparently true, Alis has a plan to get close to her family. Otherwise, why would he be so dishonest about his status with Aldo to him. From now on, Al will not care anymore about the existence of Eyebrows. He was a stranger who only stopped for a moment in his memory. Yeah, Al's gonna forget about it, anyhow. Al turned and stepped towards his classroom with a unanimous determination.

Let them for a moment avoid each other and keep their distance. At least this can calm their hearts and realize the existence of each.
