Senior, Stop Teasing me!

Silhouette in the Beautiful Sky

The cold air was getting more and more from the north, I would occasionally rub my palms in search of warmth. After walking for quite a while, I decided to sit in the long chair of the western courtyard. The coldness of the night began to warm up, finally the long day was over. The day after tomorrow is the first day of school.

“How are you doing, Son?” said a woman behind the joint, sounding soft and full of warmth.

“Good, Mother. Mother how's there, Healthy?”

“We are all healthy. Do you still have money left to eat there?”

“Yes, Mother.” I've been trying to reduce my spending. Although there are a few left but I'm sure that's enough for the next few days.

“Thank God. Your father hasn't come home from ‘Sekotong’. Maybe next week we just had time to visit you,” explained mother quietly.

“Secotong? Why did father take the rough work outside again?” manyworry. Sekotong is an illegal gold mining area in the southern part of the province, many people who go there to complain of luck even though they have to bet their lives. Father and his group will usually dig a long hole through the earth, digging bongkah for the sake of bongkah stone which if it has gold.

“Order is quiet now, Nak.” Mother let out a long sigh there, maybe our financial situation is under the red zone. Working on a job as a Carpenter sometimes can not help meet our needs. “You don't worry, your father will be fine. Your job is to learn. You understand what mom meant?” continue then.

“Iya,” I replied softly, however I still worried. There have been many incidents at the mining site, the most terrible thing is the collapse of the excavation hole to hoard dozens of workers. That situation would certainly be a big problem, because they would no longer be able to spend. The gold hole was like a grave hole waiting when they were not in luck.

“Alright, you should rest early. You must be tired all day when you follow OSEK!”

“Alright, Mother. Good night.”

“Goodnight too, Darling.”

The phone connection was also cut off. I let out a long sigh of relief, fate is still playing us to fight harder than most people. When will all this end?

I've checked my phone several times again, but there's not a single message from Apriliawan. In fact, none of my calls were accepted.

I let out a long sigh, trying to lean on the back of the chair. Look at the sky with millions of stars. I began to connect point by point the light in the sky into various shapes; rabbits, horse heads, arrows, love. Very lovely.

As a child, I often imagined life up there. Extraordinary creatures that always look down to watch over humans, live on top of giant clumps of clouds there. Maybe something that looks similar to humans, but has a large body size and looks very beautiful. A childhood full of illusions fairyland.

“What are you doing?” A black silhouette entered my view area. Like a human shadow with a night sky background, very beautiful. “Hei!” continued.

“A-what?” I'm appalled. He's not a creature of the illusion of my fairyland.

“New guests know taste!”

“Se-senior?” I made sure that it was Reza. He stood before me and slightly bowed to look at my face, whereas I was still leaning back leisurely while looking up at the sky but that scene of the sky had now turned into a silhouette of Reza's face.

“What's up here?” said flat. I began to straighten my seat, and Reza immediately pulled her face back.

“Just looking for wind!” I answered him briefly. I don't think that Reza could be here. “Senior why is it here? Isn't this the princess page?” my continue.

“Not your business! Back there!” he said firmly.

In the next second, there was no sound or movement at all from Reza. It made me look up, there was only a tall body silhouette with perfect posture. The situation here does not have a bright light, there is only a dim light from the moon. It's hard to see what look Reza is throwing at me.

“Why?” manya curious. A moment later he dropped both of his arms between the two sides of the bench, his face was now right in front of my face. Again, I was cornered. There was no way out, scaring me for a moment.

“You really want to be a brave girl?” he said flatly. Like channeling his cold aura, now my body began to tremble in fear.

“A-What do you mean?”

“You're a Karate hero? A taekwondo? Which martial skills do you master?”

“Ti-No. Don't scare me!”

“You can be scared?” I don't think that's a question. Just like the saying that I shouldn't be here on a night like this. Especially for a little girl like me.

“A-I understand, let me go!” I said with fear. I'm starting to get confused with this position. I remembered the previous incident, my face was warming up. A moment later, Reza pulled her face and rewinded her steps. Seeing that the escape room had opened up, I immediately took a long and quick step to get away from it immediately.

“Why run around at night like this, anyway?” Shinta said in wonder. Next to her stood a beautiful and charming looking girl. His skin is white, curly hair and has large eyes.

“There are strange creatures there!” I said with a hunting breath. I am easily tired even for a small run that is said to not require a big effort.

“Weird creatures?” said someone carrying a cold aura from behind me.

“Why are guys in the princess area?” cetusku upset. Reza walked over and then passed me without answering anything.

“Thank you, Reza. Next time I will treat you,” said the girl with a smile. A small suitcase had moved into the girl's hand.

“Mn.” Reza just nodded small to answer him. I think Reza has helped carry the girl's luggage. Are they dating?

“Are you a new student?” ask the girl towards me kindly. I hesitated to enter their circle. Sinta just looked at me in a daze. Still looking for enlightenment from answer ‘strange creatures’ a moment ago.

“Yes, Senior. My name is Zytha,” I said politely.

“Call me Linda. Are you a student from the same SMK as Reza?”

“I-ya.”

“Then, you are also my junior. Next time the four of us can eat together at school, let me be the one who is tertaktir.” Friendly girl, I smiled back at her.

“Alright, you must rest. You have been through a long journey today,” said Reza kindly. Whahuh? Reza apparently has this side? I think Reza's dating Linda, they look familiar. Why does my heart feel strange? I feel uncomfortable at all.

Reza left the three of us. After saying hello with a few sentences, we parted ways to take an early break and I plan to wake up late because tomorrow is Sunday. My body needs energy recharge before I go to school the day after.
