Title: Cakra and Cikka

_________________________

I liked you from the beginning I saw you and I secretly watched you even though you never saw me do it anyway.

A beautiful girl named Cikka just kept walking in the school corridor while busy reading her novel. Yes, this Cikka prefers to read novels compared to textbooks so it is only natural that Cikka ranked last in her class. This sister is a cheerful, careless and unyielding girl for example, she likes the male chakra that became an idol in school because of her good looks and intelligence that is truly extraordinary.

“Cikka! Cikka!” shouted someone calling Cikka's name, but Cikka did not care about it he was still busy reading his novel.

“Cikka! Vikka's! Cikkaaaa!!” shouted someone louder until finally Cikka also glanced at someone who called him.

“Karina what the hell is it?” ask Cikka.

“Cikka, you are well if you have been busy with the same hard novel to disturb even though I want to tell you something about Cakra” Cikka immediately closed the novel. Yes, this Cikka could at least leave a single piece of information about Cakra even though the man Cakra he liked never glanced at him even once.

“what happened to Cakra?” tanya Cikka excitedly.

“dia one class with us from today” reply Karina, Cikka shocked not play her feelings mixed between happy and anxious.

The hours of the lesson began, Cikka who had sat in the bench of XI IPA 6 class seemed so agitated waiting for the arrival of Cakra, the man he loved for the last 1 year. A few minutes later the guardian of class XI IPA 6, Bu Rica, came with Cakra, all the students were amazed to see the good looks of Cakra, including Cikka, who is now completely fascinated by Cakra.

“God, how can I not like it if every day he always fascinates me.” Inner Cikka.

Whether this is a coincidence or indeed this is God's way to be able to attach Cikka with Cakra so that love clapping Cikka's hands for 1 year is reciprocated and becomes the end of a patience that fights his love for the chakras. Cakra finished introducing himself and he was welcome to sit by Rika's mother right next to Cikka's seat.

The deg! Cikka's heart beat faster and cold sweat began to wet her palms, Cikka was so nervous while sitting next to Cakra.

“my name Cikka, may we be good friends” said Cikka while showing her sweet smile towards Cakra.

“oh, you are the girl who ranked last in this class and got the lowest score of 207 ipa students in this school? Oh yeah you also often keep love letters in my locker right?” reply Cold chakra without any expression.

All the disciples who listened to Cakra's words laughed but not with Cikka who now lowered his head in shame, ah how could this man he liked speak that sharp? Cikka sighed then stared cynically at Cakra while biting the tip of her lips slowly.

“what kind of man are you? How dare you speak like that to a woman, you little narrow-hearted man!” said Cikka with a tone full of decisiveness.

“what did you say? Narrow-hearted?” Cakra began to approach Cikka with his cynical gaze it made Cikka a little frightened. Cakra grabbed Cikka's hand as Cikka tried to withdraw from Cakra's presence.

“I-i-iy.iya narrow behati! Wh why? You don't like it?” Reply Cikka nervously, Cakra laughed and then released his grip on Cikka's hand.

“basic stupid girl!” reply to Cakra while walking out of class while Cikka just stared at the departure of Cakra with her sense of growing regret.

“apa? a fool? Stupid lady? Hey, narrow-hearted man chakra you think you're who dare you say I'm stupid! Just look later I will be able to achieve the best 50 position at the end of this semester!” chanted Cikka while throwing books and bags of Cakra, all the students who were in the class were shocked and astonished by Cikka's attitude like this.

Lessons at the school were completed all students immediately scattered out of the school including Cikka, Cikka, Cikka came home on his favorite bike while on the way Cikka saw Cakra chatting and playing with some small children. Cikka was so happy to see Cakra who could smile sweetly and laugh freely like this was different from the Cakra he knew in cold school, narrow-hearted and his mouth sharp beyond the knife.

“what are you doing there?” tanya Cakra who saw Cikka.

Cikka was shocked and confused to answer what, he said, then some children who had been playing with Cakra also came to Cikka while smiling some of the children also pulled Cikka's hand and invited Cikka to play together. Cakra smiled at Cikka's funny and silly behavior.

“if someone invites you to play you should not refuse, especially if they are very adorable children” said Cakra, Cikka also smiled and accepted invite to play together.

Cikka was very happy to be able to play like this with Cakra and some cute and adorable children as well as Cakra who seemed to be happy and enjoy their current togetherness and inseparable from that Cakra was secretly photographing Cikka who was so sweet and beautiful when smiling. Already in the afternoon they stopped playing some of the children had already returned to their halfway house while Cikka and Cakra were still sitting together on the park bench while enjoying the ice cream that was bought by them Cakras. The awkwardness began to feel they both just sat quietly while eating ice cream without a broken or two coming out of their mouths.

“Mr. ice cream” says Cikka slowly.

“what do you mean?” ask Cakra who probably heard Cikka's words earlier.

“I will call you Mr. Ice Cream and this..” said Cikka then took Cakra's phone and memiscall to his phone number. “ I will name Mr. Ice Cream your number on my phone” contact continued Cikka smiling satisfied.

Cakra is shocked by Cikka's silly behavior, Cakra starts to think about this where all his friends who say that Cikka does have a pleasant attitude. Now it is Cakra's turn to take Cikka's phone and memiscall to his phone number.

“your name on my phone contact will be named Drowsy Eyes.” Cakra and Cikka also laughed freely together they even forgot their quarrel at school earlier.

It has been 3 months Cakra and Cikka are good friends outside of school and they also often study together at a halfway house with children who live in a halfway house, he said, Cakra and Cikka really enjoy their togetherness outside of school because at school they do not have time together to chat or joke together. Cikka was very surprised by the unpredictable nature of Cakra. Yes, if in Cakra school like a narrow-hearted demon, cold-blooded and sharp-mouthed towards Cikka. While outside the school he is like an angel who is sweet in his words and gentle in his behavior towards Cikka.

“Cakra!” cikka shouted to Cakra who was busy chatting with his friends in the cafeteria.

“Cakra!” call Cikka but there is no word from Cakra, Cikka also ran towards Cakra but there was a girl named Irana while carrying a glass of juice then deliberately hit Cikka so that Cikka fell and the juice carried by Irana spilled on the uniform Sikkas.

“ups.. sorry” says Irana while laughing.

Cikka just kept quiet and tried to clean his uniform that was hit by a juice spill, he said, the students in the cafeteria were just sitting sweetly while watching the spectacle of a stupid girl who was being humiliated by Irana a beautiful girl, smart and an idol at this school. Cikka was not yet aware that she was currently being humiliated by Irana, Irana deliberately spilled her juice again right in Cikka's head. Cikka who saw the incident was silent and could not do anything, Cikka bowed silently and slowly gazed towards Cakra but Cakra threw his face in the other direction. Saddened? Obviously Cikka was sad how Cakra could do that to him, Cikka also stood up and left the canteen with his embarrassment.

Drt! Drt! Cikka's mobile phone vibrated and then Cikka took her phone from her uniform pocket and saw that there was 1 message from Cakra, Cikka did not open the message he put his phone on the table and continued reading the novel. Cakra sighed looking at Cikka's attitude like this.

“what are you mad at? I'm not saying you're stupid but it feels right that they all say that you're stupid” whispered Cakra slowly, Cikka glanced at Cakra and stared cynically at Cakra.

“what do you mean?”

“you were being humiliated in front of everyone but you just kept your head down without fighting him a bit”

“don't talk anymore, you should have helped me not to shut up and watch me like that, you really don't have a heart!” cikka shouted releasing all her anger towards the chakras.

“CIKKA!!” the jolt of Cikka's chakra makes the classroom atmosphere suddenly tense.

“don't ever put your head down if you're innocent!” cakra.

“moved!” reply Cikka.

“you mean?”

“moving to the bench next door, I don't want to sit together with a devil-hearted man like you!” reply Cikka with a sharp look full of anger.

She got out of her seat and walked out of the classroom to the bathroom. While in the bathroom Cikka accidentally listened to the conversation of Irana and her friend Jenny.

“see my clothes are dirty like this, Cakra seems to really intentionally do this to me” said Irana.

“intentionally? How could he do this on purpose against you?” reply Jenny while helping to clean up the stains on Irana's clothes. The younger sikka who saw and listened to the conversation between Irana and Jenny could only sigh.

“you always do it your own way. Your chakras are really selfish!” inner Cikka.

Cikka also expressed her intention to go to the bathroom and return to the classroom when she saw that the Cakra bag was still beside her seat.

“thank God he has not moved” Inner Cikka, but a few minutes later Cakra moved his bag to the bench next door right on his stool Karina. Cikka was sorry for her attitude towards Cakra but still Cikka still harbored her feelings towards Cakra.

It has been almost 2 months Cika and Ckara never again play or study together, even in school they never again betegur or greet each other, everything suddenly lost the togetherness that they once had is now a clumsiness that envelops the two. Now are the times when Cikka should try to get satisfactory grades for UAS and get the best 50th position out of all Ipa students in school.

UAS day to day has been passed as much as possible by Cikka until finally the announcement of the best 50th rank that will occupy a special room or superior class will be taped to the school today. Cikka remains optimistic that she will be regardless of the title of Stupid Girl and sure enough the announcement of the best 50th rank has been taped in the school mading and Cikka gets the latest rank which is ranked 50th best this means that he is a superior student with satisfactory results to 50 of all Ipa students.

Cikka was happy that finally she was able to get the best 50th rank means that her efforts during this time were not in vain all this was still no help from Cakra. Cikka was also pleased with the ranking obtained by Cakra which is the first of the 50 best and the new school year later Cikka will return to class with Cakra in a special room.

“welcome!” say someone to Cikka.

“Cakra?” Cikka was surprised to find that the first survivor was Cakra, Cikka just silently staring while rethinking her mistake 2 months ago.

“maaf,” continue Cikka.

“I do not accept your apology” reply Cakra, Cikka was shocked by Cakra's cold speech like this.

“give me congratulations” continued Cakra accompanied by a sweet smile from his lips that make Cikka more fascinated, Cikka also smiled warmly and laughed.

“Happy Cakra you can maintain your rank” said Cikka.

“i can ask?” said Cakra who then received a nod from Cikka.

“when did you start liking me?”

“I liked you from the beginning I saw you and I secretly always watched you even though you never saw me keep doing it”

“are you happy for the last 2 months to stay away from me? Are your feelings for me dead?” tanya Cakra made Cikka round her eyes.

“getting away from you is a pain for me, my mind is quite tormented if I miss you but I cannot say that I miss you. I always watch you secretly in class, in the cafeteria or at the halfway” house. Reply Cikka who then slowly shed tears.

“you know, I hated Sundays and holidays so much because I couldn't go to school and couldn't see you, even when I was sick I stayed in school so I could meet and see you” continued Cikka who began to cry loosely, Cakra touched both cheeks Cikka and wiped tears Cikka using her fingers.

“don't cry, your eyes are sleepy eyes if you cry I'm not sure what your eyes will look like.” Cakra said then stroked Cikka's hair.

“you are like ice cream, even though your attitude is cold towards me but you always give me a sweet impression at the end” said Cikka and smiled.

“I know that, sorry because I kept you waiting too long and took you too much heartache like this, but from now on I will take care of you and teach you again so that we will get back the time together that was lost”.

Happiness is usually present at the end of the story, and this is what happens to the love story of Cikka who finally get a reply from Cakra and start all their stories from the beginning, but Cakra is still Cakra which has two properties like demons and angels while Cikka is also still Cikka who prefers Novel than her textbook.

The two lovebirds were in a relationship more than friends but their dating time was always used to study together at a halfway house while entertaining children who live in a halfway house.
