Perfects

Chapter 31

Syifa pulled her suitcase slowly.  Looking around the school.  Feelings empty. True, he was eager to join the student exchange program, but on the other hand, he seemed unable to leave everything he already had now.

Syifa loosened her head, letting the sunlight hit her white face. Syifa was enjoying the scorching sun that pierced her skin pores.

"Don't be hot" said someone from behind.

Syifa turned her head, looked at the person who was smiling at her, then walked over.

"Before you go, I want to apologize yes, I should have apologized from yesterday, but I have not dared" said the man, who is none other than Adam.

The two corners of Syifa's lips expanded, her hands slapping Adam's shoulders softly. "Look down, I'm sorry, next time don't repeat. I'm sure you're a good man, Dam," said Syifa softly.

Adam smiled, "Thank you because you still think of me as a good person."

"Lo be careful, I want to go back to class, see you next year, Syif." Adam waved his hand at Syifa, then left Syifa alone.

Syifa was sitting in a long chair near the school hallway, thinking Rizky would meet her before she left, but until now she had not seen the man.

"Syifa let's go" said Ms. Jasmin, the teacher who will take Syifa and the other children to the airport.

"Yes Mom, for a minute" said Syifa, looking around, hoping to meet Rizky.

"Shypha,." Ersya ran and hugged Syifa's tiny body from behind.

"Be careful on the road, yes" said Ersya with glazed eyes.

Syifa returned Ersya's embrace tightly.

"Gue will miss you." Ersya still hugged Syifa's body tightly.

"Yes, I'll miss you too."

"Oh yeah where's Rizky, huh?" ask Syifa.

Ersya released her embrace, squeezing her fingers. " So in class he didn't exist" Ersya explained.

Syifa let out a heavy sigh, her face look sad. "Yaudah deh Sya, send greetings to Rizky, if there is time, I will contact you with him," said Syifa.

Syifa's two eyes glazed over. His face began to heat up. Not because of the heat of the sun, but there is a sense of sadness that is held back. "Thank you, I want to be my friend."

"Syifa don't do that ah," said Ersya.

"We will graduate together next year," added Ersya again.

"Gue left first, yes." Syifa pulled out her suitcase and walked towards Ms. Jasmin.

"See you Syifa. " Ersya waved her hand at Syifa.

"Are you ready for Syifa?" ask Mrs Jasmin.

Syifa took a deep breath, steadying her heart and mind. "Ready Ma'am," asserted Syifa.

"Well if so, now we go" said Mrs Jasmin.

"Let our children go," added Mrs Jasmin, inviting students who escaped other student exchanges to immediately leave for the airport.

Syifa walked away, hoping that Rizky would come and meet her.

"Let's go in." Ms. Jasmin told me to get in the car.

Syifa nodded her head slowly, then got into the car. In his heart there was a sense of disappointment in the man who had been waiting for his arrival.

Syifa looked out the window, hoping that Rizky's figure would knock on her windshield and meet her one last time before parting ways, but that hope had fallen, because her car was already on the move.

"Perhaps according to others, LDR is easy, even in this sophisticated era can stay face to face through the screen of the phone. However, longing is not limited to seeing the face," Syifa said in his heart.

°°°°°

"Yes, where's Syifa?" rizky asked when she met Ersya.

"Udah is leaving" answered Ersya.

Both of Rizky's eyes were rounded, her mouth almost completely open. "Huh? You're leaving?"

"Yes, Syifa nyariin lo, but lo it does not exist," explained Ersya.

"Just left?" ask Rizky to make sure.

"A little over ten minutes ago" answered Ersya.

"Okay, yes." Rizky immediately ran towards the school parking lot. He did not care about the hours of today's lesson, all he had in mind right now was meeting Syifa.

Rizky turns on his motorbike and walks out of school. At high speed, Rizky drives his bike. The condition of the road is crowded, making Rizky must be more careful in driving.

Rizky looked at the circular clock on her wrist. If Syifa left ten minutes ago, it would have been fifteen minutes later, Syifa would have arrived at the airport. "Ouch, it's stuck again" decak Rizky.

Rizky continued to honk her horn, Rizky's feeling grew increasingly chaotic after seeing the clockwork that kept moving, "After a day, Jakarta is not jammed," Rizky said with anxious hope while continuing to look at the clock that continues to spin.

Rizky takes the phone out of her pocket, tries to contact the girl, but the number is off. "Aelahhh! Not active anymore." 

The hour hand moved faster, Rizky continued to look at the clock, his feelings began to resign, seeing the clock and the atmosphere that was happening now. He was eager to meet Syifa at this time, but the atmosphere seemed unsupportive.

The sky was bright, now turning gray. Slowly the rain fell. Rizky opened her palm, letting the water pool there. He remembered when he and Syifa were arguing in the rain. The sky seemed to understand his feelings at this moment.
