Rinai Rain

Farel Star

I put my hands up to wait for the rain to come. Not even a speck of water came after nearly a month. I miss the smell of wet soil when the rain starts falling one\-one by one. The last thing I remember about the rain was when I fell unconscious staring at the two of them who were still in love with each other.

I let the wind blow on me. I hope the wind brings clouds that contain rain. Even though the sky was spoiled up there, still he was ashamed to drip water. I don't know what's holding the water back from falling into the rain.

My body now smells like my father's body. Sure enough, this is my father's long-disused tuxedo suit. This tuxedo had been stored in the closet for a long time and was a little dusty when my mother took it out this morning.

Today is a good time for me to wear it. The most awaited day is\-waiting by an XII class kid like me. The time where we would wear the best clothes and gather for the last time. Yes, today is my school day.

I locked my car and walked into the building where the farewell was held. There Azka was waiting for me with Cessa.

Azka just like me, also uses a tuxedo like me. While Cessa, wearing brackets typical of Malay girls. He looks good using that. Not to forget also he uses a hijab that is characteristic of Cessa who is a Muslim.

They realized my presence.

"Farel!" call Cessa from there. His voice sounded small, yet still clear in my ears.

"Hi, haven't seen you in a long time" I told them. We haven't seen each other since the last day of the National Examination.

"Add more handsome?" ask Azka.

"Ah, could aj. Don't I have to be handsome every day?"

"You used to be so shabby. Haha."

Azka looked around me.

"Where's Alvia, Rail? masa' is not the same\-sama?"

"Oh Alvia is still in the salon. Make up\ is long. We're in yaudah."

We continued our steps to get into the building. The sound of music was heard even though we were still outside. The members of OSIS who served at the main door, welcomed the audience who came full of smiles.

Azka looks in Cessa's arms. His steps were firm and firm. His handsome face seemed like it would make the women crazy\-crazy when they saw him. He was that handsome from the beginning.

So did Cessa. Her steps were graceful while beside Azka. In the end he took the person who really\-he really liked a long time ago. Time gives them the opportunity to unite the love.

I realized my hand was empty. Nothing fills my finger's little\-gap gap. I stared at the lines of my hand that were clearly visible. The rest of the pomade that was still attached felt a little sticky. It's been a long time since this hand has touched Alvia's. We met quite rarely since the long holiday.

Instantly I felt warmth between my fingers. Fill every void. That hand touched my hand. His little fingers attached a ring that sweetened his fingers.

"Have you waited a long time for me?" the woman said beside me. I'm turning.

"Udah until the rust I wait for you. It's beautiful today."

"Yes dong, not Alvia if not beautiful. But beautiful is not today. Yuk, walk." He smiled with sweetness. Cool my heart for a moment. She was so beautiful in the dress she was wearing.

"Come on."

A long-suffered joke, now coming out for the last time. A line of\-line smiles emanated within each face of the students of class XII. We will be separated for a long time. The gate to a higher level was already open. The future welcomes us there. No wonder they vented their joy at this moment.

Our attention was drawn to the nomination sessions that had been made for class XII. The host was so good at getting enthusiastic about each\ of us.

"We started with the most polar male nominees in school. Who is it about\-kira?" ask the host on stage. Everyone whispered to guess who would get this nomination.

"Must be me" I told Alvia.

"Maybe you. You're nothing\-nothing." He pinched my cheek.

"Let's see later."

"What gets the most popular male nominations is........... AZKA ALDRIC!!"

The audience cheered and applauded. The lights highlighted Azka who was on stage. A sensation that is not inferior to the Oscar nomination. He welcomed the nomination trophy given by the host.

"Thank you all. I wouldn't be here without you. Especially for my best friend, Farel Bintang who is the same boyfriend there. Hi Farel, Hi Alvia" he said there.

We blushed in embarrassment as she mentioned our actual relationship in front of the students of XII class. He also dared to mention it, although Azka had a relationship with Alvia.

"I don't forget the person who was always special to me. He never cared how I was. He remains faithful. Cessa, I love you so much." He lifted his cup and went off the stage.

Many nominations were read. Starting from the students who are the smartest, the most compacted class, the best teacher in the hearts of students, and many other nominations. Of course, in the many nominations, I am not among them. I also realized that I wasn't famous enough in school. If there's a nomination for the quietest student of one school, I'll get the trophy.

We are at the end of the show. The school band's performance is the closing of the farewell. The students gathered near the stage to enjoy the rock music that would shake them there. Azka ventured to bring Cessa into the crowd.

"We're going there, yuk!" I asked Alvia.

"No, ah."

"You don't want to see your protege perform?"

"If I don't want to, what? We're just going to get out."

His hand pulled me. I'm not resisting. The gentle touch of his hand always managed to make me obey what he liked.

His steps led me to a shady tree. Thick foliage dropping shadows\shaded shadows. The light of the twilight cannot penetrate it. Alvia sat straightening her legs. The dress she was wearing could be dirty. We sat down with green grass.

He was good at choosing a place to wait for dusk in this place. The sun is leaning to the west, we can clearly see directly. The sky above was filled with clouds of\-clouds that were spoiled indistinct. It had been for days holding back her tears to bring down rain.

Alvia leaned her head against my shoulder. So comfortable it feels when our loved ones lean their bodies like this. Sweet to get the attention of a lover.

"At least I've been more popular than Azka" I said to begin the conversation.

"That was first. It's so different now."

"He won high and won handsomely."

"Lah mending him. You won what?" Alvia laughs. I felt like I was eating my own words.

"I won because I got you, enough," I said a little seduce.

"Ah you are dreadlocks. Learn from Azka? He's obviously a playboy. You actually got a nomination" said Alvia.

I looked at him. No nominees mentioned my name. "What dominance? I couldn't have gotten it."

"The most special male nomination in my heart." He peeped my cheek. Instantly my body seemed to shake. Static\-electricity radiates throughout the body.

"Ah can you." I ruffled\-random her hair. His face was a little worried with my hands in his long hair. I looked into his eyes. Her eyes are really\-beautiful. Looks clear and round. Her plump eyelashes blend in with the thick eyebrows that shade her two eyes. Not a single man could hold his gaze to a woman as beautiful as Alvia.

It rained slowly. Dropping the water\-bulir with a rush. Instantly the ground gives off a unique fragrance when the rain touches it. The sound of rustling leaves and wind chime with the sound of rain. Drop by drop water falls through the shoots\-pucuk foliage. A little wetting a couple here.

Finally it rained too. I've been missing her shine all this time. Not only waiting for this water to fall, but also waiting for the rain that was beside me. Smiling was happy to welcome the rain that was falling.

Rinaiku is no longer stormy. Now smile while explaining the meaning of love from each line of her lip\-line. Painting a rainbow in the middle of a black cloud that was being driven away. I became a guide when I was blinded by loneliness.

The rain that came was short. A brief bee\-bee pus perch on each petal of the flower. There was a line of\-rainbow stripes in the twilight sky that returned bright. Smiling again welcomes the warmth created here. I saw a rainbow. Not a rainbow that extends in the sky there. However, the rainbow that was in Alvia's smile.

A sentence reads from my heart that was once quiet, the rain is not always coloring, sometimes stormy like a heart that is hurt. And Rain is not always clouded by black clouds, there will be rainbows and sun smiles that will replace the dark.

"Rain rain always looks beautiful, especially when combined with the harmony of twilight," I said in the rain.
