She's My Girlfriend

Today for the fifth day Ciya did not go to school. Her worsening condition required her to be hospitalized.

During those five days, neither Ciya nor Kenji's best friend ever skipped to see the girl. Ciya's best friend also never missed a day without tears.

They would be busy holding back their tears in front of Ciya and the crying broke when they had come out of Ciya's ward.

Kenji was still there, next to Ciya who was lying with her pale face when the two Ciya companions had come out.

“Bunda kok long yes,” shrewd Ciya. A few minutes ago the middle-aged woman told her daughter to buy food in the hospital cafeteria, but her mother did not return.

“Maybe the canteen again rame, so queue,” replied Kenji.

Ciya nodded in understanding.

“You don't want to eat either?” ask Kenji.

“Ciya is not hungry yet, Brother. Later all take medicine.”

Kenji understands. They were silent for a while. Kenji's mind drifted to the days that Ciya didn't attend school. I don't know why he's sick of seeing Axel who keeps making out with Daisy.

Not jealous, it's just that he thought about Ciya's feelings if he saw the chain of events.

“Ciya?” ask Kenji.

“Iya kak.”

“There really is no chance for me?” Ciya knows where Kenji is going.

“Sorry, Brother. But ..”

“Even if you consider me Axel though. Can't you?”

*****

Ciya daydreamed, reflecting on the decision he had taken. Ciya knew Ciya was wrong, it was just that he wanted to try.

Yes, he accepted Kenji's wish. They are officially in a relationship even though there is no special taste in Ciya's heart.

Kenji wanted the girl to use him. Use it to forget about Axel and distract from all the thoughts that bother him.

*****

Kenji is not Kenji today. The cold, scary face he used to show at school is now gone.

His world seems to change. The sweet smile on her lips always faithfully accompanied her morning with the adoring cries of the students who saw her.

“Kak, you kesambet?” Daania and Beyza who accidentally cross paths with the man are strangely dumbfounded.

“Neg. I'm fine, very good even,” he replied.

Dania smiles mockingly. “Wahh what's up?”

“Ahh it feels like all my load is lifted so aja.” Without heeding Daania's question, the man waltzed away with his cheerful face.

“Crazy for people,” murmured Beyza. They continued in his footsteps without paying any more attention to Kenji's strange attitude.

Without Kenji noticing, there Axel noticed his behavior and frowned in wonder.

*****

“Tuh people why can change so drastically?” muttered.

Axel shook his head. “Behold, if you remember this sixth day I do not see the girl right? Where's she? Richly swallowed by the earth aja.”

Axel continued his steps to the toilet. Nature calls in the morning are excruciating Axel thought.

Axel's steps came to a halt when he saw the scene that made him feel de javu.

“I have provisions for Brother,” said the girl with hair tied in a ponytail. The girl looked fixedly at the man before her as if the man was something very precious to her.

“No! I don't like it!” The man slammed the food box until it was scattered. The girl in front of the man looked very surprised.

The flash of the past repeated itself in his memory. He seemed to be seeing a reflection of himself. He used to do the same thing to Ciya, and now he seems to want to help the girl whose position was like Ciya back then.

Axel silences. He retreated his steps listlessly.

“That's bad I?” ogre.

“Kak. What else is here?” A light pat on his shoulder resuscitated him.

“Ah Daisy's. G – is nothing. Let me take you to class.”

Daisy nodded. They walked towards Daisy's class in silence. None of them had any intention of starting the conversation.

Daisy class atmosphere is very quiet like ‘time it’. There, we got to the back of the class, the place where Ciya used to stand and know the truth, the place where he said rudely to the girl, and he witnessed how the girl was drowning in place.

“Kak! Listen to me?!” ask Daisy a little scream.

“H – huh? What?” axel was nervous. He did not hear what Daisy said.

“Next week I have Science Olympics, brother come see me?” Daisy repeated her words.

“Ah yes I must be calm aja.” Axel stroked Daisy's mane gently. Daisy smiled warmly.

“Then I return to class first yes.” Axel tells Daisy and is taken by the girl.

*****

“What the hell is the same me! Aaarrgghhh!!”  Yes, after taking Daisy to class, Axel did not go straight to his class. He went to the rooftop to vent his frustration.

“Why has he always appeared in my brain lately?”

“Who?” A voice appeared from behind Axel.

“Ngapain lo here?” axel looked a little surprised.

“Share my happiness is the same. So who do you mean?” said it.

“Not a lo affair,” Axel replied. His eyes always turned sharp when he saw this person before him.

“I'm dong because I guess, the person you think is my girl right?”

“Means lo?” Axel frowned strangely, clueless with the person before him.

“Ciya. You think of him again, right?” Yep. That man is Zafien Kenji.

“Lo means your girlfriend, how?”

“Ahhh if my voice could be heard one world, maybe I have shouted that the girl is now mine.”

At that time in the hospital, Ciya finally agreed to Kenji's request. He will try to love the man even though it may take a short time.

“So, you are calm. Now he won't bother you anymore. Lo can live quietly with lo's girlfriend.” Kenji left after saying so.

Meanwhile, without realizing it, Axel clenched his hands until both his books turned white. His jaw hardened and his teeth chattered.

“Damn it!” objurgation.

“Where was he really all this time? Why disappear without a trace?” Axel started to get nervous because of Kenji's expression some time ago.

The man went down to his class. At the end of the stairs, he heard something that caught his attention.

“Iya later I also went to Ciya. We go together.” Beyza's taking Daania.

“OK later we go together. All bring food for him and Kenji,” he said.

Without waiting for long, Axel approached the two friends Ciya.

“That girl, where is she now?”
