Although confused by Rafa's treatment, but finally Vallen returned the embrace. A hug that he certainly did not do once with Rafa, but now it feels different. There was an irregular heartbeat that even Vallen enjoyed its existence.

"Thank you" said Rafa softly.

Vallen closed his eyes while placing his head on Rafa's field chest comfortably. "Thank you for what?"

Silent for a moment and what Vallen heard was Rafa breathing deeply.

"Thank you for so many things."

Again Vallen did not understand, he did not know what had been done so far to make Rafa thank you in this way. It's just that Vallen knows, sometimes humans can't explain what's going on in him so complicated the feeling to explain.

Vallen opened his eyes with a twinkle that Rafa could not see from their position like that. "Gue should be grateful." Vallen's voice sounded soft and soothing, as if he had removed his crispness for a moment in a moment like this.

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for so many things" Vallen replied, repeating Rafa's earlier words, it was greeted with a small oddity from Rafa.

"Basic, Buf-fa-len."

"Basic Fa Ugly!" The girl smiled. Then what he felt Rafa loosened his embrace, so Vallen also released his embrace.

"Mmm, Val," Rafa called while staring intensely at Vallen.

"Hm?"

"Whoever is that secret admirer. Lo ... won't take any steps, will you?" That question has been hidden from a few days ago, let alone knowing that the person still sends various gifts every day.

"hey are. He wants me anything. I'm porotin? There is a Ugly Fa."

"God!" rafa protests that reflexes his eyes when he hears Vallen's words, but the girl instead laughs because of his response earlier.

"Kanda! Meaning ..."

Vallen pulled both corners of her lips until a sweet smile appeared on her face. Rafa enjoys this scene, even he wants to ask for time to freeze right now, let Vallen just smile for a Rafa, Rafa's heart really feels happy.

Vallen's index finger lifted and landed on one cheek of Rafa, the girl pressed him slowly.

"... Buffalen already has a Ugly Fa, why respond to others, useless, right?"

Vallen tiptoed while holding his hand on Rafa's neck, he then pressed his head into the recess of the guy's neck. Then, Vallen's face looked up more when he wanted to say something.

... Love ...

Rafa blinked his eyes while waiting for Vallen's next speech.

... Me," Vallen said.

"I love me too" replied Rafa whose lips were right near Vallen's ears.

Vallen smiled again. Let time prepare itself to speak by changing the object of the sentence from 'me' to 'you', it is not now, maybe someday. Vallen was convinced that one day the words could come out of the mouths of him and Rafa. This feeling, Vallen sure also not only he who feels.

Vallen and Chela put a marker cloth on the left arm indicating that they were members of the PMR. Some people are also preparing to lift the P3K box as well as a stretcher. Before the UKS exit, they all prayed first that the match today went smoothly.

Shabil encouraged, then one by one PMR members came out, as well as Chela and Vallen. The two directed footsteps near the teacher's room. When they got there, they sat down in the corridor. The match has not started, so from him they both can still relax, especially now it is clear that the look of terror on Chela who is humming the song Celengan Rindu. As Chela sings, Vallen pulls the chocolate out of her ash blazer pocket.

"You?" tawal Vallen's.

"You! Tumben lo Val brought chocolate?"

"The same as Mr. Satpam."

"Five more?"

"Huh-ah."

"Often he sent. Let me eat hahah!" Chela laughed, as if forgetting that this morning she had breakfast jengkol made by her mother.

Vallen laughed forcefully as he shook his hands in front of his nose.

"Well!" Chela deliberately let out a breath while opening her mouth wide. "Don't let it go, I've rinsed 10 times."

"Got water cake?"

"Thum almighty!"

"Scook!"

Chela opened the chocolate while mesem-mesem as if proud of his fake recognition.
