Leaving You

Title: Leaving You

_________________________

You know, there are things I never imagined before and now I have to do it. Yep. Leaving you, leaving you, letting you go, or whether you use any other language that is essentially the same, not being with you, not remembering you anymore.

'Thank you, I've been taken to Kostan.' Say the barrel while smiling at Bimo.

'Yes, we both want to meet salsa.' Bimo replied while taking off his helmet.

I could only look at them from behind the window, convincing my heart that the bimo and the barrel had nothing to do with it. Yes bimo and barrel are only limited to senior and junior in Eskul Basket. Hopefully, nothing more.

'Sa.' call Ike from behind.

'Eh you go, why?' my question while closing the curtains and turning towards ike.

'Are you ok..?' she worried as if looking at the anxiety on my face.

'Yes I'm fine.' Reply lirih.

'That's Bimo in front, he said he wanted to see you.' He said still with a worried tone.

'Yes thanks to, ' my timpalku with a thin smile hoping to erase ike's worries over my relationship with the bimo that began to be complicated. I rushed forward to meet Bimo.

'Tuh mba salsanya has come, I went in first yes.' Pamit laras when I saw me out, still with a powerful smile towards bimo. I see bimo just smiling while nodding.

'Hi sa, ' the sap is short, without a smile.

I was silent, it was hard to make a sound. The bimo welcome lately has been so cold and stiff. It was different when he was with the barrel, smiling and occasionally joking looking so familiar.

'You why is it so weird? Stiff, cold.' Bimo frowned.

The deg! I feel so confused by his words. Why is he judging me? It's like I'm silent for no reason. Why does he not feel at all guilty for his closeness to the barrel that hurts me more and more? As if that's a natural thing I should understand?

'If there is a problem dong story do not even shut up gini, you why?!' ask her with a high tone.

I'm getting uncomfortable. It feels useless if I say what I feel to bimo right now. He won't understand, he blames me and thinks I'm childish.

When me and Bimo were silent from the door, the barrel that had just finished bathing came to bring a glass of drinking water.

'Excuse me, I'm sorry to bother you that I just want to drink to bimo mas. Must have been thirsty from before not drinking.' He said cheerfully while giving the glass to the bimo, and again bimo smiled at him.

'Salvu!' call ike aloud from the direction of the door of the OSIS room where we were at that time.

'Why?' I also looked down with my hands still holding up the vertical above the computer keyboard in the corner of the room osis.

'Here, look!' the door called to me again, pointing to something outside the room.

I got out of my chair, walked up to ike and turned my eyes to the direction he was pointing.

'Si bimo is not meeting OSIS because there is basketball practice, right? An empty basketball court, where are the training kids? 2 Years I went to school here like a basketball court just this one deh' obviously ike at length.

I'm speechless. Right the basketball court is empty, it means Bimo lied to me, to the other OSIS administrators. I took a deep breath and sat back in my chair. Ike followed my steps.

'Bimo must be with the barrel again. You guys!!!' sumpat ike with a slightly high tone makes other friends who had been busy with their business look at us.

'Udah lah sa, rich guy so why is it maintained anyway?! Is it because he's a rich man who can buy all the stuff you want?! Who always caters to you with that good bike?! Come on, there are still many other guys who want to be your girlfriend, who can understand and keep your feelings. Not the rich bimo, the spoiled rich kid, who just stuck with your current position. If he's not your girlfriend, there are people who know him!!!' obviously ike at length resuscitated me.

Yeah maybe all this time I was too good with bimo. I can also never be angry for long, what else is being assertive and showing dislike for his attitude, because every time I am angry bimo suddenly turned into good and attention. And it blew me away. Always was. But I also don't want to continue to feel this pain. The same pain.

'Alright it looks like I have to end this pain of mine.' Say sure. Then walk out of the OSIS room.

'Sa! where you going? You wouldn't commit suicide just because of heartache, would you?' sergeant ike half-screamed to see me move out of the room.

'Relax, I'm not that stupid, ' I said with a smile and walked back somewhere. The place where bimo used to be if skipping meetings or skipping during class hours. Coffe Store. It's right across from this school.

'Salsa, how are you here? Not a meeting anymore?' bimo was surprised to see me coming.

'Ras, I borrowed the bimony for a while huh,' my permission on the barrel without answering bimo's question.

'oh i. i. yes mbak, please.' The answer is a little stuttering. Either because I feel guilty or disinclined, or I don't know myself.

I walked outside sitting on a chair that was there, bimo following my steps.

'For a long time also yes we are not here, whereas first class time almost every day we stop here every time we go home from school' my mind in a soft tone.

'Now you are busy.' Said a smooth bimo while looking at me.

Ah, this look, don't let me down again. Come on, this time you have to be firm.

'You said, now I'm busy. Busy organizing until you don't have time. You go everywhere on your own. And I don't want that. I won't stop you from walking with anyone when I can't keep you company. I want you to be able to enjoy walking with anyone without having to feel bad because I'm your girlfriend. Without hiding like this.' Reveal me at length in a slightly restrained voice, I bite my lower lip tightly, my cry almost broke.

'You mean?' bimo was flabbergasted to hear my explanation.

'Bimo, thank you for ever. Thank you for giving me so much laughter. Thank you for putting tens of giga bytes of memory onto my head's hard disk. I never had to pretend to be someone else when I was with you. But our relationship has to get here. Sorry I'm bimo.' My legs while walking left the bimo still glued in place, this time my tears broke. Relieved for having dared to take out all the uneg-uneg that I feel right now. Now that I realize, sticking with you doesn't make me much better, that's why I let you go.
