Title: Gara Diary

_________________________

I walked down the path I walked every day. I stared at the small grass waving in the wind. I remember the poem I wrote in my diary. Diary issue by the way. I slightly twisted my body and I took off one of my backpacks. I looked for my diary there, but I found nothing.Worry, I took off my backpack and put it in front of me, this time I sat in the middle of the lonely path. I'm looking for my diary everywhere. But again I found nothing.

I fell silent, not enjoying my heartbeat that felt faster than usual. I try to remember every activity I did in school. Today I did deliberately bring my little diary. Because I know, today there is no lesson. I remember, all day at school I was just hanging out in the perpus writing diary and reading books. After that, my memory of the diary grew fuzzy. This time I'm sure my diary's left in the perpus.

'******!' lament slowly. I'm sure tonight, I won't have a good dream. God, whoever found my diary. I hope that person can keep my secret.

I ran through the path. Not caring about my appearance starting to fall apart, not caring about my body that was filled with sweat. All I have in my brain this time is the fate of my little diary.

Tap-tap-tap!

The sound of my steps echoed in the deserted school corridor. It was still quiet, because I left too early in the morning. Once it arrives under the perpus ladder. For a moment I took a deep breath while staring at the stairs that I had to. My body is back energized. I ran straight up the stairs. How surprised I was when I saw the school library was still closed. I was sitting in a long chair right in front of the door.

About an hour and a half I waited there. Even I was willing to be late for the sake of finding that diary.

When the door opens. I barged straight in, only greeting Bu Ina with a smile. Then step into the back room. Where I relaxed yesterday. And I couldn't believe it when I got there I found nothing. Long silent, I finally forced myself to ask Ms. Ina.

'excuse me, ma'am.' I said slowly.

Bu Ina looked up at me. 'what is it?'

'mom squirms little blue Diary isn't it?'

I saw Bu Ina frowning. A second later his eyes widened. 'oh, diary? Yesterday Anang was brought. I tipped to him, because I'm afraid to forget if put here.'

Bu Ina's voice only faintly sounded in my head. From the moment Bu Ina mentioned Anang's name, my body immediately went limp. A very unexpected coincidence. I wrote all about Anang there. And my diary fell on the right person.

'damn fate!' my sift.

I'll take a break with Ms. Ina. I hurriedly put my shoes on and then I ran back to class. I had prepared the excuse for being late to class. once I arrived at the door of the class. Ms. Asa was holding a small blue book in her hand. Suddenly my throat was dry. And I stuck in there. I can't do anything. I can't breathe.

'let's watch me go to Karin.'

I just heard Ms. Asa say slowly. I took my breath back. I'm sure, Anang must have handed the book to Ms. Asa. Or did you read his diary?

Tap-tap-tap!

'lho? Karim? What's in here?'

I looked down deeply.Sorry, Mom. I was late earlier I had a stomachache,'

Ms. Asa smiled. 'no pa-pa. ya already entered. Today, I can't teach. You learn by yourself. This is your diary, right?'

My hands trembled while taking my little diary.I immediately went to class.did not dare to glance at Anang behind. Even at the break bell I didn't look at the man, and I didn't care if he had read my book or not. And I don't care what his views are on me.

I glanced at Anang who stepped out. I hurriedly chased after the man.

'People!' call me. I felt my voice was too loud just to call an Anang.

Anang immediately stopped his steps. I was getting nervous and my heart was jumping up and down. I want to get me to run fast.

I saw Anang confusedly looking at me.

While I was just silent, I took a breath many times to calm myself down.

'I don't mean to write like that in a diary. You don't need GR.'

'what do you mean?'

I'm riveted. Instantly I realized. Turns out Anang didn't read my diary. I fell silent and forced my lips to smile, even though I was ashamed to be half dead.

'e.. nope.. kok. hehe..' after condemning myself many times I immediately turned my body and stepped away to return to class.

'Sarin,'

Immediately I stopped my steps. I turned my body back to face Anang who was about two meters in front of me. My heart is not calm.

'i'm just saying, everybody has a right.' After saying so Anang smiled then stepped away.

I was stunned to see it. Silence does not understand the meaning of his words. But somehow there was relief that entered my body instantly.
