Shotgun - Sub Zero: HER
Chapter 15
"Sha, you're okay - what ?!"
"Alisha, your face is pale."
"Martha, it looks like Alisha is going to vomit" Fellin said anxiously.
Monday at school.
Alisha sat in the front hall of the teacher's room, complete with her white uniform. It looks so pale and silent. Martha and Fellin looked at her anxiously, while Karin stood not far from where they were with a guilty face.
"Alisha, are you sick ?! Had breakfast not yet ?!" ask Martha to come back. "I ask permission, so you don't have to take part in the ceremony."
Alisha was silent, shaking her head. Making Martha sigh and crouch in front of her, tightly grasping Alisha's cold hand.
"Sha, did something happen after we left yesterday ?!" guess Martha. "I'm sorry we left you yesterday. But that's because those two guys are holding us back from going back to your place."
"Ah, I don't really understand what happened yesterday either. Alisha, you told me not to come with you guys, right ? Be awake - keep in mind if something happens that is out of control," said Fellin. "I almost called the police because there was no news from you. Thank goodness Martha called me before I called the police" she said, replying with a nod to Martha's head.
"Alisha, I tried to contact you yesterday. Even almost all night. But you have absolutely no response, be it the phone or the WA. No word from you, Sha," said Martha. His face looked really worried. "Open, Beiby. Pleases... Say something to me."
Alisha took a deep breath, biting her lips. God, how could I tell them ?!
"Alisha... Ka, you're mad at me," asked Karin in a soft, almost inaudible voice. "A, I'm sorry, Sha. A, I'm stupid. Really - really stupid. I'm sorry, Sha."
Alisha shook her head, saying quietly, "I'm not angry anyway, Karin."
"So, tell us what's wrong with you, Alisha," erang Martha almost desperately.
Alisha looked at Martha with a pleading gaze. As if asking for Martha to understand that she could not say anything to him. Haven't.
Martha tried to understand her best friend, looking fixed face pias Alisha. Sighing for the third time, Martha stood up and straightened up. "Fine ! Whatever happens, its done !” emphatically. “We're friends ! We still friends, right ?"
Fellin and Karin nodded, while Alisha looked up at Martha. His facial expression was hard to guess.
"But the one I asked for, let none of us have any more contact with a creature called Althair !!! Stay away from Althair ! Stay away from him ! Deal ?!!" continued Martha. This time his gaze slightly pierced towards Karin, who then nodded resignedly.
The call for the disciples to get ready was heard immediately. The teachers moved, breaking into – students who were still busy chatting. The morning ceremony is about to begin.
"Sha, are you sure you are strong in attending the ceremony ?! I'm asking permission from the teacher, right ?" tawal Martha is back. His eyebrows shriveled, anxious to see Alisha acting uncharacteristically
"Ng, it's okay, Martha. I could really. I'll be his officer anyway. Where might be the sudden permission," said Alisha, forcing herself to smile. "You guys go right there. Ntar was even punished if it was late," he added.
Alisha sighed, looking at her friends who rushed to the field. Keep putting on her smile because once in a while Martha still turned her head, worried for her.
“You’ll be fine, Alisha,” muttered Alisha, suggesting herself. “Quiet, Alisha. Quiet.”
Yep. Like old times. When he didn't know that guy Althair.
Alisha was already standing firmly in the row of ceremonial officers. The map contains the opening text of UUD 45 which he will read later held tightly to the left of his body.
Yeah, just stay away from Althair and everything's gonna be fine. Yes, right ?!!
The ceremonial leader was reporting to the ceremony inspector that the ceremony was about to begin.
Alisha bit her lip. There was still a kiss that Althair had given him yesterday. How his lips were smashed so. Her lips that no one has touched. And Alisha had to give up her first kiss just taken away.
Three paskibraka men walked towards the flagpole. Ready to raise Sang Saka.
“Forget it, Alisha !” muttered Alisha, closing her eyes and taking a breath. Trying to get rid of the memory of the kiss yesterday. “Forget. Just forget it !”
Indonesia Raya song accompanied Sang Merah Putih which was pulled higher, as if to split the sky.
Alisha took a breath. His body trembled slightly after a night of barely sleeping and not eating.
The ceremonial inspector presides over a moment of silence. The atmosphere felt more silent decorated with the sound of the choir members. But among the song Autumn Flowers sung, faintly heard the sound of motor rumbling.
The reading of the Proclamation Text and the Pancasila Text is over. Alisha braced herself, sighing a few times. Time for him to move forward.
“Law – Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Year 1945,” Alisha's voice sounded blaring throughout the school field. His voice is a little shaky.
“Opening. That indeed independence is the right of all nations.”
There was a bit of commotion in the back row of the ceremony participants.
“And therefore, the colonization of the world must be abolished.”
The line of participants of the ceremony. As if someone forced their way through. It caused trouble among the students.
“Because it is incompatible with humanity and justice. And therefore..”.
Alisha speechless. While most of the participants of the ceremony were no longer able to calm down and buzzing crowded. Some looked up and tiptoed full of curiosity.
Alisha swallowed her saliva. In front of him was clearly seen Althair who was walking between the rows of disciples. Walk straight towards him.
In front of all the students and teachers. In front of everyone at school. With his trademark oblique smile adorning his face and without speaking, Althair kissed Alisha.
“From now and on, you’re mine, Alisha,” whispered Althair, again continuing his kiss on Alisha without hesitation.
