Aldo


My pair of eyes were still looking around the classroom during the break. I barely found the figure I was looking for at the time. I gave up and finally got back in my classroom.


“Where have you been so tired?”, Didit asked laughing at me.


“Nyari Gara”, I replied casually.


“Eh? Why bro?”, asked Jepri who was also curious about my behavior today.


“Not because of a sex problem?”, timpal Bowok.


“Ya. Do I look like my face runs out on the side of what girl?”, I replied annoyed.


“Udah just Aini?”, asked Didit.


“I also did not see Aini in her class. I guess not going in, kid. But I haven't contacted him anyway”, I replied.


“This is a problem?”, asked Bowok.kamu


“This is talking about what?”, asked Jepri as much as Bowok.


I was lazy to respond to their questions until our conversation stopped when the doorbell rang.


After school I could see Aini who was waiting for me in front of my class. He looked pale and like he was sick. I went to him so he wouldn't wait too long.


“You sick?”, ask him.


“Antarin I go home yes Do”, he said softly and smiled at me.


He ignored me. It made me worry about her unusual situation.


“You eat first or go straight home?”, ask you in the parking lot.


“We ate at home. Mommy must have cooked, I said I went home with you”, he explained.


“Oh yaudah”


Along the way we didn't talk to each other. Aini hugged me tightly. I can still feel him holding me without energy. I'm so sorry why today even bring a motorbike instead of carrying a car. The city air was so hot at that time that I made sure we darted quickly at Aini's house so that the situation was not worse than this.


“Assalamualaikum”, I said from behind the door.


“Waalaikumsallam's chat. Uh son Aldo. Here in. We eat first ya”, reply Mother from the kitchen.


I saw Aini walking towards her room.


“I change clothes first. You go to the kitchen just accompany Bunda”, Aini said to me.


“You don't take long. We eat together. I don't want you not to eat”, I told him.


“Iya”


I saw Mommy was putting together some side dishes on the dining table. I approached her and kissed the back of her hand.


“For a long time Mother did not see you. Kok become thinner like this”, said mother meledekku.


I smiled and said, “Males eat Bunda”


“Papa you are still busy out of town?”


“No Mother. Here, but yes it”


“Makanya play here to eat together Mother continue”, he said while stroking the tip of my hair, “you have become very mature. Mother sample pangling”


“I am handsome from the first bun”, I said confidently.


We laugh too.


“You are so pale dear, do we need to go to doctor”, suddenly heard the words of the mother who was very worried to see the state of Aini.


“You have eaten”, Mother told us.


^^^^


“Aldo, Because shoot me”, said Aini very slowly.


We were sitting in the courtyard of Aini's house, I had intended to go home earlier. But Aini suddenly opened the conversation which made me very surprised.


“Terus?”, I said very carefully.


“I'm confused”


“Why?”


“Tau”


“You're sick because of that?”


“Enggak”


“Do not lie!”


“I just thought of Do”


“How do you feel?”


“Sakit”


“Kok hurts?”


“She's Yoga”


“Ha?”


“Iya. She's Yoga. Which I once said. The sender surat”


“Serious?”


“Iya. I'm confused”


“You're sick why Aini?”


“Why didn't he just tell me?”


“She fears Aini”


“Why not talk before I guess it!”


“She's why is that Do? We are close. Why don't you tell me he sent the letter. Why is he still sending letters when we're close?”


I was confused what to say. I let Aini vent her emotions that afternoon in front of me.


“I'm like I've fallen. But even crashed”, he said.


“What do you mean?”


“I've liked it Do...”


I saw the rows of tears Aini had fallen no longer unstoppable.


“But why did it turn out she was Yoga? I should how Aldo?”


I can't see it like that. I hugged her and tried to calm her down. I listened to a series of words coming out of his mouth. Without a word I just hugged her tightly.


I'm still here. Become someone who hopes means something to you.
