Perfects
Chapter 36
Seoul, South Korea.
Kai waits for Syifa in front of his classroom. Since the bell rang, Kai immediately left the classroom and waited in front of Syifa's classroom while watching the girl who was doing pickets from behind the window.
Syifa took her bag and left the class after finishing the picket, but was surprised by Kai's presence.
"Annyeong!" greet Kai.
"Kamkagiya!" Syifa reflexes hit Kai for making him surprised.
Instead of getting angry from being hit, Kai laughed. "How was it today?" kai asked, raising both eyebrows.
Syifa let out a heavy sigh, she showed Kai her tired face. "Bappeusey? (Are you busy?)"
"Anieyo station. Wae's? (No. Why?)"
Syifa did not answer anything, she only saw Kai clingy.
Kai smiled, he understood, surely Syifa wanted to take him away to relieve the girl's fatigue.
"Where are we going now?" kai asked, bringing his face closer to Syifa's.
"Place yesterday," replied Syifa while pushing Kai's face away.
Kai immediately took Syifa's hand. This time they went to a fast food restaurant not using a bicycle, but a bus.
"If in Jakarta, when I am tired or have disturbing thoughts, I always take the busway while listening to songs, I stand while worrying about vehicles and buildings in Jakarta, Jakarta, it can calm me down, at least I can avoid my problems" Kai told Syifa while waiting for the bus to arrive.
"That simple?" ask Syifa.
Kai nodded. "It's a simple thing that makes me realize, if the living on earth is not only me, who has life problems is also not just me. When you ride in public transportation, you will see the character of each person around you, there are indifferent, caring about the same, even emotional ones. It's different when you travel around Jakarta on a motorcycle or a private car" explained Kai.
As the bus arrives, Kai and Syifa rush to board the bus. It just so happens that today the bus is not crowded, so Kai and Syifa can sit down.
Syifa looked at Kai's face, the man seemed to be keeping something he wanted to tell her, but it seemed very heavy.
Syifa tapped the earphones into one of Kai's ears, making Kai peck for a moment. Syifa performed the song 'Dust in the wind'.
Kai turned his head, looking at Syifa who was smiling towards him. Syifa tried to fish so Kai could tell a story. "What is this day? Does anyone want a story?" ask Syifa.
Kai was silent, he looked at Syifa closely, then turned his gaze outside the bus window.
*****
They had arrived in front of the fast food restaurant, Syifa was waiting for Kai who was in the middle of buying food.
"I think there's something with Kai? Did I ask Kai? But it's not polite if I ask?" said itself.
"Lo talking to myself?" asked Kai who suddenly came.
"Isha! Keep on surprising!" syifa Decak.
Kai chuckled, he gave Syifa a burger, "This time I ordered the burger, without pickles, I also ordered the same as lo," he said.
"Love you, Kai."
Kai smiled.
"What's? Just ask, as long as I can answer, if I can't answer later I ask Google for help," replied Kai.
Syifa gave her lips as she thought about whether it was best not to ask, she was afraid that Kai would feel uncomfortable.
"Cock-awkwardly? What were you gonna ask?" asked Kai while eating his burger.
"I'm sorry if I'm not polite and make you uncomfortable, but since you told me how to calm yourself, you so like something to think about," said Syifa.
"Is there anything? You can tell me so that your burden is slightly reduced," Syifa added.
Kai stopped eating. He took a deep breath and then slowly threw away.
"If I told you, would you not blame me?" ask Kai.
"meaning?" Syifa did not understand what Kai said, what story would Kai tell? Until Kai thinks he's gonna blame Kai?
Syifa held Kai's hand, convincing Kai that she could be a good listener.
"Two years ago, my sister was raped and murdered by my stepfather. I could not help him, because my position was not at home. When he called and asked for help, I went straight home, but I had an accident, which made me unable to get home on time. When I got home, my sister was naked and died. At that time my world seemed to stop, if at that time I did not go out of the house, surely my sister still exists to this day, can still fight with me, can still grab food. Everyone's guilty of me because I can't take care of my sister, including my mom." It is clear that both of Kai's eyes are glazed when telling a story.
Syifa was silent, she did not know that Kai's problem was this deep, because during Kai's time, the man was always cheerful and even always made Syifa laugh.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.." Syifa didn't finish talking, Kai smiled at her as he wiped his fallen tears.
"I'm sorry if I cry" said Kai with tears that he tried to remove but continued to fall.
Syifa held onto Kai's face, wiping away Kai's tears. "It's not your fault, you've tried to nolong lo's sister, you also have to be able to forgive yourself," said Syifa calmed the man.
Kai tried to smile, "Thank you Syif, because you were already the only person who did not harm me in that incident" he said.
"Lo must be able to make peace with yourself, you can not lose yourself again," said Syifa.
Kai nodded, wiping away the rest of his tears that washed his face.
"It seems that if we have returned to Indonesia, we have to travel around Jakarta by busway," said Kai diluted the atmosphere.
Syifa fell silent, she couldn't go alone with Kai in Jakarta? What if Rizky finds out? Syifa could not imagine what Rizky would do if she went alone with Kai.
Kai chuckled as he poked Syifa's nose. "Why are you quiet? You in Jakarta have a girlfriend, right? Afraid of getting caught by your girlfriend, huh?" goda Kai's.
Syifa brushed off Kai's rough hands, then challenged Kai back. "If I have a boyfriend, why?"
"Means I can't baper the same lo" replied Kai.
Syifa narrowed her eyes, "Yaps, you can't baper me," Syifa said with emphasis.
"Lo really has a girlfriend?" ask Kai seriously.
Syifa nodded.
"Can't really baper dong?" ask Kai again.
Syifa. "Lo can't baper! I can't!"
Kai brought his face closer to Syifa's, allowing Syifa to feel the fragrance of Kai's perfume. What about you baper?" goda Kai's.
