See You Tonight
Chapter 27: Curious
After dinner, I went straight back to my room. I plan to continue reading the novel "Rain On the Moon". However, this afternoon was still very disturbing in my mind. I wonder why Cindy is crying. Cindy is a quiet child in class and seems mysterious. He also seems to dwell more in his seat while reading a book or novel. He rarely laughed either.
Even that incident could take my mind off this morning when I saw Sofia leaving with another man.
I started to open a new leaf in chapter 16 of the novel "Rain On the Moon". Now the story has begun to enter into the peak of the conflict. The main character is now faced with sacrificing one of the most precious things in his life to save another precious thing.
Tonight I read about two chapters, and then opened my textbook. My favorite subjects are Math and English. If I had to choose between them, I would choose English. Because tomorrow there is English, then I reopen the record last week.

After I finished my studies, I sat on the balcony near my room. I looked directly at the night sky that seemed so vast. I wonder how many stars there are up there?
Suddenly I remembered the memory of last night when Sofia and I saw the sky from the Star Hill. Although, I look at his face more often than the sky or the city at night. I still remember very well his faint smile when looking at the starry sky. A smile that would definitely still shine even though it had traveled millions of light years.
Even though her smile was so sweet, I somehow seemed to see a trapped self in her heart. I felt like he was sad or something. Even so I do not know if I can pull the thorn or not.
A world full of mysteries, a world that will continue to surprise and amazed you. The world that will continue to make surprises, whether it makes you laugh, cry, disappointed, or even betrayed though, we just have to laugh and cry in turn. We're... Can't fight it.

This morning in grade 10-7, all the students seemed to have arrived. Even the student who is most often late, Ruben has arrived. A few more minutes until the first lesson bell starts.
As usual, the first hour on Tuesday is English. The teacher who is able is Mr. Slamet Wardoyo or commonly called Mr. Etwar. Very humorous teacher.
While waiting for the bell that was a few minutes away, I watched Cindy silently. Today Cindy looked like usual, there was nothing strange to be seen from her. I was still acting as usual towards him as if nothing had happened. We haven't even spoken to each other today. I actually wanted to say hello and ask her how she was this morning when I first met, but it felt a little impolite. As a result, I prefer to keep quiet.
Finally the bell rang. Students who were still chatting with each other, now directly back to their seats.
Shortly after, Etwar came. Thin mustache that last week seemed non-existent, this week it looks like Mr. Etwar forgot to shave it.
"Good morning" she said as she entered class.
"Morning Sir," we answered compactly.
"Everybody's gone?" Has anyone come yet?" ask Etwar to open a lesson.
"It seems that everything has come, and once Ruben is not too late" Etwar continued, followed by the laughter of the students.
"Okay, before you get into the material, I'll ask you a question. Counting for heating. The question is white, small, but the running is tight?" ask Etwar sir.
The whole class seemed to be thinking about the answer to Mr. Etwar's question. Of course the one who seemed most serious about thinking about the answer was Ruben.
Unlike Ruben, Sofia did not seem to respond to questions from Etwar sir. Even though he was here, his mind was not here. He seemed to be thinking about something that was really far away from here.
"Let's somebody know?" ask Etwar again. None of us seem to know the answer. We just looked at each other and wondered what the answer was meant by Etwar.
"I know sir" he said a little screamed from his seat at the back of the table.
"Yes Ruben, what's the answer?" billih mr. Etwar.
"One stick in a train car?" ruben replied with a slight hesitation.
"Wahhhh your great Reuben, the answer is correct. Wow it turns out you have talent too yes," ledek Pak Etwar who again greeted the laughter of the students. After that, the lesson was carried out as usual.

Hours of rest in class 10-7.
"Why did you come home first Lang?" Reuben approached my seat.
"Yes, what the fuck is tuch coming home first," Ahsan added from behind my seat.
"I'm sorry, I told you that I'm not feeling well anymore" I tried to find an excuse.
"Oh yeah, hmmm... Oiya came home from the shoe store, we stopped by at Sofia's father's meatball shop. We also met Sofia there. Looks like Sofia again dyed you Deh Lang, because then he asked about you that to us. Because you said yesterday that you weren't feeling well, we told Sofia that you weren't feeling well anymore. Actually Sofia wanted to come to your house yesterday but because you are sick again, so she felt bad if she came to your house. Afraid to disturb you for a break, he said," explained Ruben.
"Yes he said there are things he wants to talk about with you," Ahsan added.
I was a little happy to know that Sofia was looking for me, but at the same time I also felt annoyed that she had not yet returned my message, plus the incident when she left.
"Oh so," I answered a little.
"What the hell do you want to talk about? That seems important," asked Ruben curiously.
"Say you know lach. We are also curious about nich," Ahsan added with his trademark accent.
I honestly don't know what Sofia wants to talk to me about.
"I also don't know what he wants to talk about. If you want to know, why don't you ask her directly."
"Oiya well, why don't we ask her yesterday. Oh my goodness, we are stupid. How the hell am I," said Ruben with a little regret.
"We? you're a calich of the cave," Ahsan chimed in.
I also became curious what Sofia really wanted to talk to me about. If there's really something he wants to talk about, why doesn't he send me a message? Or he could call me, right? I'm really curious right now.
