Aldo


After a few days of rest at home finally Aini can move as usual. I accompanied him during his rest at home. After school I would have visited him and talked to him about a few things. I've tried to forget my misunderstanding with Papa and Gara. When I was sure I would talk or meet with Gara, but deep down my heart seemed to be raging against my actions. I finally decided not to see him or talk about it again. I went home in the middle of my trip to see him. It was as if there was something in me that wished that I had better return to being a careless person and not taking care of anything. And my attitude like that won again. Winning against the quarrels of my mind that raged constantly.


That afternoon after school I was still enjoying the excitement around school. I got home early with my friends. I sat looking around quietly. I saw a pair of eyes looking at me as if I wanted to say something. The figure was getting closer to me even sitting next to me quietly.


“Sorry”, he said without looking at me.


We looked straight ahead of us without looking at each other.


“Make what?”, reply.


“I just found out, if Papa you are the same Mama you are a friend of Bunda”, said Gara with regret.


“Oh”, I said flat because I already know it, so it does not surprise me anymore.


I've been lazy to talk about this. Because for me, taking care of things that are not important only makes the burden of your mind increase.


“Ko already know yes?”, ask samaku.


“Udah”


“Kok didn't tell me my name?”


“What effort? Not important”


“I'm really sorry. I don't know anything but instead attacked you full of rage”


“Hem”


“I'm really sorry”


“Udah?”


“Means?”


“Udah are you done talking?”


“Eh udah”


“Judah. Take good care of Aini. Don't hurt her, let alone make her sad. If only I knew you were making him sad. I'll make sure you won't be able to see him again”


“Quiet aja. I have loved him for a long time. She told me your samu ya”


“Better you don't know anything. Than you feel guilty as I”


“Why?”


I left Gara in the chair with her curiosity. I've decided since yesterday not to deal with him anymore. Or even just care about him. It was enough yesterday that I tried to calm Aini down so she tried to open herself up and think what she should do next. Aini made that decision. He tried to relearn to understand and understand the person's feelings. I wouldn't be able to oppose it. I hope that happiness always surrounds Aini's world.


A broken wing cannot come back perfectly. But broken seedlings can still re-grow with new branches on other branches.

The ringing of my phone stopped my steps. I frowned looking at the name on my phone screen.


“Do, please help me”, said the voice behind there.


“Who is this?”, I asked because I did not know who the owner of the phone number that contacted me was.


“Tia”, said.


“Ha?”, I was surprised and confirmed back. I looked at my phone screen that was still active and asked again, “this is who?”


“Tia”, he said again more clearly, “Do, where are you?”


“School”


“Please akuuu”


“Why you?”


“I'm in Papa's office. Papa find you continue. Please help me dong. Tell me we're all right? Please”


“Apanseh? That's your business”


“This time only do. I promise I won't bother you again”


“Why not just say it with your Papa?”


“Can't Do. He has already approved you very much. Comehh... Please help me just this once”.


“Eh yes, Papa has arrived. You came here as soon as you could. I'm waiting for you. I'm waiting for you Aldo. Hurry yaa. Byee”


Interrupted connection


Apaan nih girl bar-bar. What does it mean try. Why should I go there.


He was the one who filled my days. He was the one who initially understood my closeness to Aini as a best friend but in the end he got jealous and ended up leaving me. An absurd reason. We haven't been in touch for a while. I don't even have his contacts anymore right now. And what does that mean with the phone? What the fuck? Should I go see him?-
