Paper Layangan

Truth

"Lis, why did you get to be like this?" aldo asked Alis when they arrived in the UKS room.

Eyebrows lay his body on the bed in the UKS room. "I'm just dizzy. I want to rest for a while." said Alis who began to close her eyes.

Aldo just stared at Alis as he nodded and passed from there. He knew that Alis was facing a complicated problem. And it takes time for itself.

After Aldo's departure, Eyebrows opened his eyes. He stared at the quiet UKS room, there was only a student standing guard in front of the room.

"All right!" yelled at someone from outside.

Eyebrows staring at the curtain, he heard the cry of someone, who else if not his best friend, Liza. Eyebrows just kept waiting for Liza who approached him.

"You why else Lis, how can I enter the UKS room?" Liza looked very worried about the state of the Eyebrows. He even examined every inch of the body of the Eyebrows.

"Ih..what the hell, I just got a basketball, not a wound or abrasions loh Za." sewot Eyebrows.

"Are you sure to think?"

His eyebrows just took in his breath slowly. "Udah, sana. I'm gonna take a little nap. My head is dizzy." said Alis, kicking Liza off. He is not ready to hear the bad news that Liza will tell him about the state of her class.

"alright. You rest yeah, I'll wait outside." Liza looked at Alis and felt again concerned about the state of Eyebrows, this was not a burden that she could easily bear alone. Luckily, Eyebrows have a strong heart. Liza sat outside the Eyebrow room with the students who were on guard for that moment.

While Al looked agitated in the middle of the field, many times he looked towards the UKS room.

Lying if he doesn't care about his eyebrows anymore. All this time he had only fortified himself by thinking negative things about Eyebrows. But in reality, he always denied it.

Upon Aldo's return, he wanted to ask him but he was unable and felt prestige because Alis and Aldo were already in a relationship. That was how he thought, and he did not want to be the third among them, even though he was first close to the Eyebrows. However, Aldo is still entitled to all that because he has got the blessing of both sides of the family.

Lately Al seems to be acting colder to anyone, including to his own parents. They also seemed astonished by Al's sudden change, but they knew that it all started with an Eyebrow. I don't know what problems they face until Al looks very hurt. But they also do not want to interfere too far with the problems faced by young people today.

"Al, what problem are you in, so you don't focus on that?" Andra approached Al who was sitting on the edge of the field. "Are you sure you're thinking about Aliscan?" ask Andra.

Al did look very agitated since earlier, even he was not focused when they were basketball practice. Finally he stopped playing and sat on the side of the field so that his mind was calm again.

"What the hell, there's Aldo, why should I worry?" asked Al indifferently. Lying if he isn't worried. Al clasped his hands tightly while staring at the middle of the field.

"That means you're jealous dong." ledek Irfan who listened to their conversation earlier.

"What am I jealous of. We are nobody." said Al in a cold tone. He stared at someone he knew well in the middle of the field. Likewise with Irfan and Andra, they looked at Riyan who passed right in the middle of the field.

"You think what else is going to happen?" irfan asked as his eyes kept an eye on Riyan's steps towards the UKS room.

"I think there is a misunderstanding here, when the man is his girlfriend the Eyebrow, not Alis has hanpir fiancee with Aldo" said Andra.

Al seemed to think for quite a while, what Andra said actually made sense as well. But, what is the relationship between Riyan and Eyebrows. Al looked at Riyan who had been swallowed by the UKS room.

Al has also lately always shied away from Aldo, even though Aldo wants to talk to him. Even Aldo wanted to say something important, but Al didn't want to give him a chance. He was afraid that he would not be able to hear the happy news.

"Riyan is her brother Eyebrows and about me and Eyebrows, we have no relationship at all." Aldo approached his three best friends. He did not want this misunderstanding to be prolonged and the gossip spread was very detrimental to the Eyebrows. Moreover, Al's attitude changed completely to him lately.

"Do not lie to you!" Al looks emotional and catches the collar of the shirt worn by Aldo. He was infuriated by Aldo's behavior that was good at pretending.

"Do, is that true?" ask Irfan to make sure.

Aldo looked at Irfan and he nodded steadily. "You must know who's in my heart" Aldo said as he removed Al's hand from his collar.

Al looked at Aldo seriously, looking for the truth from his eyes. He knew that from his tone, not tucked in the slightest lie. "Do, forgive me for misunderstanding you" Al said, patting Aldo on the shoulder. "I've misunderstood you, but you still have one explanation debt to me." Al smiled at his three friends. His heart was relieved to hear the narration of the Aldo, but he also wondered about all that Aldo had said. They do tos ria together and embrace each other like teletubies.

"Al, you better follow Eyebrows, he's gonna need your support. I'm sure that Eyebrows aren't doing as well as he says." Aldo said, patting Al on the shoulder.

Without thinking anymore, Al ran towards the UKS room to approach Eyebrow. He was so happy to hear the words of the Aldo. The smile never faded from his lips. Even his heart warmed up.

"Al, where are you going?" asked Liza who had stood up and held Al who intended to go inside.

"Want to see Eyebrows. How's he doing?" ask Al.

"He's resting and please come to him later." lied Liza. He knew that Alis was talking to someone who had met him several times. He did not even think that this person was his brother Alis.

"There's something I want to talk to you both about" said Liza who walked out of the school. He walked towards the garden and was followed by Al behind him.

"What's wrong?" al asked after they sat on the lawn.

"It's actually about your relationship and also Eyebrows."

Al frowned his forehead staring at Liza, he did not understand the purpose of Liza's statement. "What do you mean?" ask Al.

"Today I saw that you guys are like strangers, no matter what problems you're having, I don't want to interfere. But one day I asked Al, do not hurt the feeling of Eyebrows anymore. During this time, he lived with struggle because there was already a lot of pain. Even now he is also often bullied." staring forward with sadness.

"I had hoped, Eyebrows will still talk a lot and often smile. And it happened after he was with you. But since yesterday, he looks very hurt" said Liza.

Al who heard all that felt guilty, he who should have supported Alis even left him just like that. He regretted now that he had given up first without knowing the truth.

"At first, all our classmates were booing Alis because Eyebrows came out of Aldo's car. Even worse, they wanted to get Eyebrows out of this school. You know Al, the sickest one was when Eyebrows kept silent as they trampled on his pride. He persisted, even though he felt he could no longer bear it." Liza sobbing.

"It's changed, it's back to how it used to be. Eyebrows are closed and also quiet" he said again.

"Za, you just calm down. I'll try to always be there for Eyebrows, this time." Al looked at Liza in earnest.

Liza nodded and smiled towards Al. "Now you get there, correct any misunderstandings between you. Speak four eyes, from a heart of heart" said Liza cheering. He looked at Riyan who had left the UKS room and was heading towards the principal's room. For this one, let the Eyebrows tell the truth themselves.

*****

Eyebrows trying to close his eyes, he wanted to take a break. His head really wanted to explode after the arrival of his brother. I don't know where he got the news about the Eyebrows that fell due to the impact of a basketball, and also the commotion in his classroom. He is getting dizzy because Riyan wants to speed up his school birthday than previously planned.

He opened his eyes, his eyes empty. I don't know what their school will be like when everyone knows that Eyebrow is the owner of the school. For sure they will lick the Eyebrows and Alispun's life is not as calm as before. Although in reality, even now the life of Eyebrow is not calm anymore but at least, there will be no people who approach it because of a certain purpose when they know that she is just an ordinary girl.

"Alis.." as he opened the curtains of the chamber occupied by the Eyebrows. He stared in disbelief at what he was seeing now. True what Liza said, if Eyebrow has a burden that even he himself is unable to bear. It looks very fragile and empty.

The eyebrows still remained in their original position, with his mind wandering everywhere. Even he was not aware of the existence of Al in the room which slowly approached him.
