Reticalya

Now I Know

 The more days Ciya's condition worsened, but even so the girl still took the time to come to school.

The days are no longer the same. The friend who used to always accompany him everywhere and become a backrest for him has now changed.

No need to blame others because it is Ciya who wants everything. He felt that his body was no longer able to endure the pain. That was why he was on guard, it was better for his best friend to hate him than to have to cry for losing Ciya.

Lips that were once ripe now look more pale even though Ciya has tried to disguise it by using lipbalm.

The girl walks with the loyal Kenji accompanying her. After the day that Kenji learned of Ciya's illness, the man was never absent to be next to Ciya, not even rarely did Mother Jihan ask the man to stay at her house.

“Don't daydream, possessed to know the taste of lo!” Kenji nudged Ciya's arm.

“Ihh what the hell, Brother. There is no daydreaming!” reply Ciya upset.

Not only once did this man beside her twice upset her. Sometimes Kenji insults her until Ciya sulks for a few days.

Kenji also doesn't know why teasing Ciya is that fun.

“Kak, Ciya's lips look pale don't you?” ask Ciya. The girl stopped her steps and faced Kenji.

Kenji who got the question was suddenly startled and a little nervous.

“E-eh, eng.. i-it,” said Kenji stammered.

“Apaan anyway, Brother. Not very clear. Just just say yes or no.” Ciya moved her lips in annoyance. Actually the girl did not know how adorable she was to make a Kenji become nervous.

“Neg. Beautiful really,” replied Kenji in the end after he managed to neutralize his feelings.

Although Ciya only considers him an older brother, Kenji does not consider Ciya a younger brother. Kenji really looked at Ciya as a girl.

Ciya nodded in understanding. They walked back to Ciya's class.

About Ciya's struggle to get Axel, just calm down Ciya is still continuing.

Although day by day Axel is getting attached to Daisy, but Ciya also does not give up on her love.

At least before it was too late, Ciya wanted Axel's heart just once.

The atmosphere of the school garden during the day is very comfortable. Although the sunlight that hit the skin was very strong, Ciya did not care about it. There is a shady tree currently protecting it.

The heat of the sun seemed to be defeated by the wind that hit his face. Very cool and enough to calm his mind and feelings.

“Daania, Beyza where you going?!” ciya asked a little screamed as her eyes caught her two best friends walking.

The two people who felt called immediately stopped and turned their heads.

“Not a lo affair!” daania responded with a shout as well. Even the people around them are watching their interactions.

Ciya only smiled forcefully and nodded his head, while Daania and Beyza resumed their steps.

If Ciya notices it looks like his two best friends are heading to the cafeteria.

“Ngapain alone here?” The sound of the baritone managed to make Ciya jump. Ciya looked up to see who was coming.

“Kak Kenji, here sit. Ciya again look at the people,” replied Ciya.

“His power is not the people you see, but two people,” Kenji said. Yes, the man was watching their interaction.

“They're still mad, yeah. Said their brother angry will not be long,” shrewd Ciya. He still clearly remembers Kenji's words at that time about the anger of his best friend who was only a moment.

“Gue also did not know it would be this long. But, try to imagine if you are in their position and they are in your position. Your disease is not a mild disease, and they as your friends do not know at all about all that when your physical already pointed everything in front of them.” Kenji tries to give Ciya some understanding.

Ciya was stunned by Kenji's words. Should he tell his best friend?

“What do you mean?” say someone with a soft voice.

*****

“What do you eat lo?” ask Daania to Beyza.

Beyza did not answer, he was still busy looking for something in his pocket.

“Lo nyari what the hell ah, busy very!”mad at Daania because her best friend did not discuss her question.

“My wallet Daan, he left behind in the bag deh,” he said without feeling guilty.

“Justice Bey. Do you know how much sweat I get out making my way from class to the cafeteria? Nih look at my stomach until the rich gini kempes and we have to go back to class?”

“Yes sorry, did I forget that the wallet is still in the bag. Yes, come back again.” They had to sweat again.

“Do not pass in front of Ciya. Back aja,” said Daania. He didn't want the girl to say hello to him anymore.

And as she expected, Ciya was still there. It's just that Kenji is by his side.

Their distance and Ciya got closer and Daania could hear what the two people were saying.

“They're still mad, yeah. Said their brother angry will not be long,” shrewd Ciya. Daania knew that what Ciya meant was them.

“Gue also did not know it would be this long. But, try to imagine if you are in their position and they are in your position. Your disease is not a mild disease, and they as your friends do not know at all about all that when your physical already pointed everything in front of them.” Kenji tries to give Ciya some understanding.

“What do you mean?” ask Daania. Yes, Daania and Beyza approached them after hearing what Kenji said.

“Daania, bu-not a-nothing kok,” said Ciya stammered.

“Lo hurts?” Beyza asked.

“Neg. Ciya healthy, this is proof that she can still go to school!” answer Ciya spirit. Don't forget the smile that is always on his face.

“Do not lie Ciya. I heard everything.” Tears began to pool in Ciya's eyes as well as Daania and Beyza.

“What pain?” ask Daania. His voice seemed choked, his heart was sliced to hear all these truths while these few days he had ignored Ciya instead.

“Not severe pain kok,” said Ciya.

“What pain do I ask?!” Daania began to wrath with tears that had now dripped.

“Pneumonia,” Ogre Ciya. Ciya gave up, he could no longer hide it.

Their cries broke when they heard Beyza's words

“Why not say from the beginning?” lirih Beyza's. The girl immediately hugged Ciya.

He felt very evil because he did not know about the truth and easily ignored Ciya all this time.

“Sorry,” says Daania.

Their tears were completely unstoppable again. They cried and ignored the gazes of those who were there.
