The First Time We Talk

I never believed in love at first sight. Because I think love at first sight is only in soap operas and also dramas that I often see on television. But, this time I really believe in love at first sight.

Now I know, when I first saw her. He's a mature, minimalist-eyed man, who even I don't know his name. The futsal race between classes last month was the day I saw her for the first time. At that time our class teams were competing with each other for the 1st champion which was eventually won by his class. The defeat at that time was a painful defeat because we considered that the decision taken by the referee gave a penalty kick to the opponent at that time, it was very detrimental to my class futsal team that we ended up suffering a 2-1 defeat.

Besides, the, what is more painful is because our class lost to class 11 Mipa 6 which we from class 11 IPS 3 which can be said from the past between us Ipa and Ips children already have a relationship which is not good. But somehow I felt it was normal and even happy for the victory of his team. Yes ironic indeed when from the first I hate children Ipa because I always feel that we are always compared. But I was happy with his victory.

myself confused by this, which was obvious after that race I couldn't stop thinking about it. His way of kicking and passing the ball and his smile were so sweet when he managed to score the first goal for his team. I can't stop thinking about it. As I did this morning I was standing in the doorway of my class holding onto a wad of paper and looking forward expectantly while occasionally looking at the watch in my hand. It's been 07:05 he should have been seen but why didn't he show up too? Was he sick and not going? various questions popped up in my mind.

It was already the tenth morning that I was doing this routine. Yes routine waiting for him to pass in front of my class because it is the location of my class adjacent to the automatic student parking area every morning many students will pass in front of my class as well as him.

About five minutes later the one I was waiting for appeared as well. He minimalist-eyed man was walking with his friend once in a while he laughed with his friend. I don't know what they're talking about but I can't stop looking at the direction. “Manis” gumamku. As soon as he saw the sweet smile engraved from his lips. Maybe because he had realized that I was watching him he was looking straight at me. I instantly averted my eyes and threw the lump of paper that I was holding and acted as if I was just throwing garbage. “Huh she saw here how is this? what I did” murmured I was nervous. “OK. Relax Audy try to be ordinary not to make him grow suspicious. Now all you have to do is get into class and walk slowly” I said to myself.

I took a deep breath to reduce my nervousness. “Baiklah” said. Then I turned around and slowly walked into the classroom.

“You why the hell, I'm so bored. Kayak ran out of marathon aja”. asked Vania my friend. “Basic” says. “owh. Surely the eyes of the minimalist eye was exhausted right. But how nervous does it look so why?” tanyakanya. “Wait. Don't have to answer first, you must have been caught, right?” said. “Hampir” my answer is short.

“Audy, send me to yuk” perbus. invite my friend Mutia. “Duh sorry very Mut, I guess I could not be the problem earlier already promise to go to the same canteen Vania. Sorry ya” replied me while putting the book in the bag. “Please. Temenin me yes. Lagian Vania can go to the same canteen as others” he said. “hmm how ya”. “You yes? I was talking about the others but no one wanted to. You like to read novels. Later you can pinjem novel perpus” persuaded mutia. “Udah you just meemenin Mutia. Later I will go to the same canteen as others” said vania. “Yes that's it. Sorry Van” said. “Luck aja” reply vania. Then I went to accompany Mutia to the perpus.

When I got there, I picked my favorite novel. Yes I really like to read novels since first grade Junior High and I also aspire to be a novel writer.

“There really is?” there was the sound of a teenage boy. “That voice... seems very familiar. Is that him?” I said in my heart and then I immediately looked for the direction of the source of the sound. And my guess is right, it turns out he's the minimalist eye. He and his friends were in the library. “She to perpus? whynot? maybe he wants to borrow the book” I thought. “But wait, why is he walking towards me?” I said I was starting to get nervous. “Oh no! He's getting closer here how this” I can only stand staring at him walking towards me.

My nervousness grew more and more seeing him getting closer to me. I instantly covered my face with a book and pretended to be reading a book. Taps! the sound of footsteps stopped right in front of me. I swallowed spit. I knew that he was already in front of me. “Excuse” said. “i-iya” replied me. Then took down the book that had covered my face. “Eh, you were the one this morning right?” ask her while smiling. I put on a look of not understanding. I actually know what that means. “I mean you were standing in class 11 Ips 3 this morning while worrying about me right?” tanyakanya. Oh, yes, right. “Eh, not really. I just want to take out the trash and keep looking at you. I see your face is very familiar. You are class 11 Mipa 6 right?” I said quibble. “Iya. Know where?”. “Futsal competition between classes first” replied me. “Owh, can you please take the novel?” he asked, pointing to a novel beside me. “Iya Ini” I said as I handed the novel to her. 

“Thank you Audy” he said while smiling at me. “Eh from where do you know..” I haven't had time to continue my words he cut my words. “Itu” said as he pointed to the identification mark that was in my uniform. “Owh, both Rama” answered me. “Eh, where did you know..” then I replied “Itu” while pointing at the identification tag attached in his uniform. “Eh yes I forgot”.he said then we laughed because of our silly behavior. Understandably we may be lacking A*u* hehehe. “Ya then. Until we meet again” said. “Hah, what did he say? see you back?” muttered.

Then Mutia came to me “Audy already got the book yet?” ask mutia “Eh, your cheeks are so red why? After being shot by a guy or just met someone huh? Uh. who's the shit. Tell me dong” said he saw my cheeks reddened by the words of Rama while nudging me slowly with his elbow. “Eh, no really. I already got the nih” book I said. “Yah” said Mutia in a slightly disappointed tone. Then we went to the perpus manager to borrow a book.

Today is a fun day for me. Because today is the day that she and I started talking to each other for the first time. I hope that at other times we can talk comfortably without being nervous. Hopefully, time will quickly bring us back together so we can talk longer and get to know each other better. Just a thank you, I want more than that.
