I feel like the air in this room is getting colder. I grabbed the blanket and walked towards the large window of the room in my flat.
I open the window curtain. And my eyes are perfectly rounded. Autumn. Yes, in September, the United Kingdom did begin to enter the autumn before finally entering winter in December. Yes, the year-end snow.
I have lived in England for a year. It is located in Brighton, the southern city. In the East Sussex district.
I attended one of the universities in this city since September last year, continuing my S2 program which I only took for a year here.
I'm going to graduation this week. And papa's mama should be arriving in two days.
I sat down while brewing my hot chocolate after washing my face. Stare at the window where the leaves are blown by the wind. Yes, my flat is located on the 2nd floor. If in Indonesia, this kind of residence may be better known as an apartment.
I have never been back to Indonesia for a year. Mom and Dad came to visit. At the end of last year. In the winter.
Nothing has changed from me. I'm still trying to be a better Bi.
How are things going with Indonesia? I don't know. I don't know much since everyone blocked my account from their social media. Including the teachers in the Light of the Nation. The destruction that finally brought me here.
There was only the closest family contact on my phone. My social media accounts were never touched again. And thankfully, I focused more on my studies.
Mama, papa's getting romantic. From the regular video calls we make almost every week when I have free time. Because honestly the difference in time 6 hours Jakarta-London makes us a little difficult to find the right time.
Nair and Nath, the beloved twins. Both of them studied at the University of Jakarta. Nair chose Medicine while Nath chose Architecture.
Zoya's. Ah, he's still the same. Focus on Arumi Resto. It's just that there's no more Ezra beside him.
Yes, since Ezra intends to propose to her while doubts still surround Zoya's heart, Zoya eventually delays to bring Ezra together with the family.
And for that reason, papa had to dismiss Ezra. In order to avoid adultery and unwanted things happen. Because somehow Ezra put his feelings on Zoya.
Orion's? I don't know. I never knew the news. A year ago I had to leave because of it. Rion made a mistake that I found fatal. Until all access for us to meet closed.
...Flashback...
"Sorry to interrupt this show for a moment. I want to tell you all something." Rion on a stage. Tonight is a school farewell for teachers and students of class XII.
The event was held in the ballroom of a luxury hotel.
"I'm Orion. I want to confess my feelings to a girl." I looked at him who occasionally glanced at me. Our distance is only ten meters. Because the table provided for the teacher is at the front of the stage.
"I promised him to put my feelings aside in order to focus on learning to graduate with good grades."
I'm pounding, what will Rion do.
"And now I've graduated with very good grades."
Yes, Rion found the third highest grade IPS majors in Cahaya Bangsa.
"I have proven my words. Keep my word for the past three months."
"But not anymore."
Rion is everyone's concern. Including Ray and Aunt Sania.
Aunt Sania looked at me. I shook my head in disapproval if Rion continued this action.
Om Ray coded Rion to stop. All the teachers and students were confused.
"No problem, pi." That's what came out of Rion's lips.
"If he asks me to wait again. I'll be waiting. Just so he promised not to accept any man but me." His words are getting serious.
"Sister Bi..." She's staring.
O Allah. Stop Rion.
Everyone looks at each other. Wondering who Rion meant. Except for those who really know both of us.
Rion laughed, "Wrong. It shouldn't be."
Rion breathed a heavy sigh. "Star Alkhaleena. For the time I asked. Be my companion until death do us part."
My heart feels like it's beating ungodly. All the teachers looked at me questioningly. The student's gaze intimidated me as if asking me to explain everything.
"It is appropriate that new teachers are immediately appointed as homeroom teachers. It turns out the prospective school owner's ghost." Whisper someone.
The deg! I stared at the source of the sound. And I saw a senior teacher looking at me lightly.
I wanted to cry that moment too.
Rion walked down from the stage. "Be my wife. Either tomorrow, another year or five years. I'll wait for whatever it is."
Now Rion is standing in front of me. "Thank you, brother. Even though being together is still a long time. Even though getting married still can't."
"I promise to make your sister happy."
Rion knelt in front of me with a ring perched on her box.
I'm rattled. I look around. Everyone looked at me with their faces.
"So it's true yesterday-yesterday's issue."
"You turned me down because there's a much richer Rion, Star." Said Mr. Vano standing behind me.
"Curtain! It turns out that the issue was proven as well." Carletta stood behind Rion in her sexy dress.
"And Madam Bintang, I didn't expect there to be your semunafic teacher." Soap Carletta with a slanted smile.
"Shut your mouth Letta!" Jerky Rion. Rion turned towards Letta.
"Three months ago, you guys cornered me. Because I spread the issue."
"And now! Look at Rion, you admit it yourself. How beautiful is your life!"
"It's different Letta!!" Jerky Rion.
"You used to direct people's minds to negativity. It's like sister Bi is a paid woman!"
Carletta. "Then how is it different from now, Yon!"
"If Mr. Vano is enough for him. Why is he after you! Trapping you with her pretentious attitude!" Carletta pointed at my face.
"Enough Letta!" Jerky Rion.
"Rion!" Om Ray goes ahead and pulls Rion.
"It's best to settle this matter at home, sir." The headmaster said to Ray.
I left the place feeling ashamed.
"Sir Bi wait, brother!" Shouted Rion back there.
I keep running no matter if he's after me or not. I'm shy. Heart's broken. The good name I built collapsed in an instant. Just because Rion couldn't hold himself back. He's too selfish.
I sat in the garden chair in the hotel courtyard. Rion kneels in front of me. "Sister, thank me brother. Please! After this I have to go to Aussie." She begged.
"But registered my college there."
"I'm afraid brother has someone else sis."
"But the way you embarrassed me, Yon!" I stood up and ran away leaving him.
"Sister!!" Rion hugged me from behind. It was so tight that I couldn't escape. "Let's Rion!"
"Brengsw!!!" Shouted someone. And instantly managed to pull Rion and release me from his embrace.
"Bughts... Bughts... Bught..." Rion is beaten by Nair.
"Nair!" It was scorching as Nair who was sitting in Rion's stomach was blindly beating at him who was lying on the ground.
"Nath, help!" I said when I saw Ethan and Nath come running.
"Stop Nair's! Stop Nair!" Shouted Nath.
Ethan manages to hold onto Rion. Nath and I managed to pull Nair.
"Your son of a bitch, Yon!" Shouted Nath.
"Bughts." One blow from Nath made fresh blood flow from Rion's nose.
"After this don't expect to see Brother Bi again!" Terika Nath in front of the battered Rion.
Nath and Nair took me away from that place.
...Flashback...
I sip my hot chocolate. Sighing heavily and removing the clear globules at the corners of my eyes.
It's been over a year now everything's gone. But the scars are still very pronounced.
Since then I have come out of the Light of the Nation. And for three months I was just at home, studying and studying for my S2 preparation.
Until the end of August last year I left here.
"Ting. keg.. ting..." Someone rang the bell with a quick rhythm.
"Who the hell?" I nodded as I walked towards the door.
