Pluviophiles
Section 9
In the evening I really could not sleep when it was 23:30, I suddenly thought of the chat Daylon and Braylon. They know each other? do they have a relationship? Their names are pretty much the same, but Daylon seems to dislike Braylon very much.
"Am I asking Nanda or Alex? I haven't exchanged numbers with them. Bella, yes I have to ask Bella," I picked up the phone at the study table.
I wrote a message to Bella "Bell I want to ask you something." 10 minutes no reply, ahh, maybe Bella's asleep. I let out a breath.
I heard knocking on the door, I looked up. Looks like Dad came into my room.
I stood up from the chair "Have you come home from Bandung?"
Papa smiled and nodded "Via hasn't slept, tomorrow is still school right?"
"Yes pa" I saw papa's face. Papa looks tired.
"Papa must be tired, papa rest yes," I worried about papa and told him to rest.
Papa smiled "Yes papa rest, Via also sleep yes. Good night, baby," Papa comes out and closes the door.
I feel sorry for Papa, he works every day. It must be exhausting, no. On the other hand I also feel lonely, from childhood I have never had a long conversation with papa. Too busy to sit with me.
I sighed again, laid down on the bed, pulled out the blanket, and slept.

I'm ready to go to school and I don't forget the chocolate balls I'm gonna give to Daylon. I'm heading out of the house to the car.
"For non-Via, are you leaving now?" Ask a tall man. I just remember from today Mr. Sapto's son who replaced him.
"Yes" I answered kindly. And I got in the car.
'"Who is his name, by the way?" My toot. Honestly, I do not really understand the family of Mr. Sapto, all I know is that Mr. Sapto has 2 children, the first child has gone to college and the second child is only in 1st grade.
"Sadana Non" answered Sad, who focuses on driving.
"Ohh, I call Brother Sad nakpapa?" My toot.
"Yes Non," replied Brother Sad briefly.
"But if Brother Sad is not comfortable call me non, call Via aja yes. I'm also more comfortable being called Via, it's only a few years different" I said. I prefer to be called by name. But Mr. Sapto same aunt insisted on calling non. Be more polite, they said.
"He he he yes Non, uh I mean Via," Brother Sad laughed lightly. I laughed too.
The car drove on and finally reached the school gate.
"Via, what time will I pick up?" Ask Sis
"At 15:30" I said and got out of the car.
The first one I went to was Daylon, I looked for where there wasn't. Where's Daylon? did he not come in?
"Via" Nanda and Alex came up to me. The one in the middle of the corridor.
"Well, morning is standing here?" Ask Nanda to me.
"I was on Daylon but nothing" I was confused where else to go.
"Daylon is on the rooftop," Alex said casually.
"Ngapain Daylon on the rooftop?" I asked curious.
"If you are curious about samperin Via. We want to cheat PR first, but it's still morning" Nanda and Alex go to their class.
Without a second thought I ran straight to the rooftop. With his eyes closed Daylon was seen enjoying the morning breeze. The soft rays of the sun hit Daylon's face. I'm really fascinated.
I stepped closer to Daylon "Daylon."
Daylon turned his head, with a cold face he said "Here is the game?"
"You love this," I stuck out a box of chocolate balls.
Daylon was not interested. And I don't want to give up just like that either.
"It's me who made you, it's new to learning but I guarantee it must taste good," I said cheerfully. Daylon doesn't look like it, and like he's gonna tell me to go. I'm ready to go, turn my body.
"No intention of loving?" Daylon's hand asked. I reflexively looked.
Daylon stood up from his seat touching the box I was holding. I gawk.
"Thanks," Daylon went with her cool style.
For what? this way it works? Daylon wants to get her chocolate balls? I was excited in place. I'm really happy. Looks like this is the bright spot to approach Daylon. My spirit increased.

"Where are you from?" Bella said when she saw me enter the classroom.
"From the rooftop," I answered briefly.
"Well?" Bella pulled out a book.
"Lover Daylon Bolu Brown," I also prepared the book for the first lesson.
Bella sighed "Patience to Vi. Lo too, already know will be rejected still just give thanks."
"He wants to, he doesn't refuse" I said cheerfully.
"That's the proof" I pointed to Daylon who had just entered the classroom with the box I had given her.
Bella melihat tak percaya dan aku tersenyum bahagia.
