Since I Meet You's

Means you're a shaman

'Ah, that smile'

That smile is what I really miss. But, am I worth saying it!? I realized I was nobody to him, I wanted to say it.

''You want to be treated!?'', brother Ryan cut off my daydreams

''Brother Ryan! How are you?'', Rita sounded enthusiastic about this meeting.

''As you can see. Busy studying?'', I admit interpersonal Brother Ryan is very good.

"Yes, sister, Tika did not let me rest. He's very ambitious! I think she wants a sister", Rita seemed to complain to her brother.

"It's good that that's it. Brother is happier if the achievements of brother even make others motivated to continue to be diligent deh''

''Sis Ryan with Tika eleven-twelve deh, do not like to see me a little bit'', Rita made an angry mimic.

''Don't be angry, my sweet brother. Brother apologize huh!?'', Brother Ryan seduced.

''Add beautiful dong, just want me sorryin'', Rita put on an adorable look and made me smile unconsciously while watching the interaction of two people in front of me.

''Sorry big sister, yes, beautiful and sweet Rita!? Brother is here want to meet you at once heal kangen, new cook dateng diambekin anyway''

''Yes, yes, now I'm sorry. I miss my brother and the others too. Want to collect kayaks first, sometimes I also meet Kak Ergi if he again sepengselahan at the complex. He said the holidays were not good, he hurriedly wanted to enter his school''.

''Hahahaha'', they laughed together.

''But no fun, cook only brother doang kangen'', I know Kak Ryan if he was giving a code like this.

''Don't know yet. Hobby to watch people talk''

Ah, they're back to teasing me. Between resentment and longing, I can't deny my feelings of joy when moments like this happen again.

''You guys said what the hell'', I couldn't respond as I wanted.

"If you know you will be asked this way, surely I will not stop here''', Brother Ryan returned to acting.

"Then brother just go home there'', it's actually hard to say this, but I have no other way to not get the wrong behavior.

''Wow, brother was expelled by Rit, really this is what big brother is horrifying!?''

''The mouth that told me to go was sis, if in the heart it was definitely jumping up and down the joy of squirming brother here''

I could not answer, Rita said as if a sword had suddenly pierced. I just looked down and looked around with my eyes to make sure the attention of all my classmates wasn't on us.

''No, no, I said what brother. Won't dare him ngusir kak''

''Hahahaha'', Brother Ryan laughed at Rita's chirping.

These two guys really made me die a flea. Sis Ryan and Rita are a unity that cannot be left. It could be that after this meeting there was a lot of gossip spreading in the school.

I don't want to have problems just because of trivial things anymore. Just once I had a problem with Winda just because of rumors made by other children.

''Kok diem neng!? daydreaming of her brother huh!?'', Rita nudged my arm.

''What? No, want to daydream what?'', I argue.

''Don't bother, looked so good earlier'', it felt like my cheeks had been reddened like a boiled crab because of Rita, while the other party was just smiling amusedly watching the two of us.

''Uh, how do you know!? you shaman, huh!?'', it's a big mistake that I chose him. There was only Rita's laughter that exploded because Sister Ryan could silence me again.

''K-ka-because usually people want to be possessed like that'', no other words appear in my brain other than this.

''You know, it means you dong shaman'', Rita back banged up because of our absurd chatter.

That's how we spent the time until the bell came in and Brother Ryan came out of our classroom. I stared at his back which went away from my position. There was sadness and heaviness in my heart to take it off, but I had to keep warning myself to realize that I was nothing to him.

''Ehem, as if there is no one willing his prince to go nih'', Rita began to pump again.

''Continue training about'', I said jutek.

''Ck, starting to be authoritarian'', Rita put her lips together.

...♡♡♡...

Ever since that day's meeting, I've never seen Ryan again. I don't care if I can't see him, but sometimes I unknowingly miss his smile.

I realized that the difference between the two of us was very far away, but still I could not control the feelings that suddenly appeared just like that. I can only try to divert it by keeping busy to learn and sell to survive with my family.

Studying and working continued throughout the day until I forgot to think about anything else outside of my priority routine. The class increase I also passed and my grade in the top 5 of my class. I managed to increase my value and make my father proud because I have promised not to neglect to learn and achieve good grades in order to be able to sell for additional family income.

It's a pity that this year I'm not in class with Rita anymore, but we both still have a friendship and Rita often comes to me to class to take lunch in the cafeteria.

Neither Rita nor I have adapted easily to the new environment, though not quite as universal as Ryan. The name was remembered again.

I remember it not because I wanted to, but because I accidentally heard one of the students tell me about his brother who was in one school and one class with Kak Ryan at the city's favorite High School.

'Surely he already has a lot of friends at his new school' I murmured involuntarily.

What the hell am I thinking? It was definitely easy to make friends with such a character. He is also good and accomplished, where there may be people who are hostile to people like him.

I felt stifled considering how idolized he was when he was in school with me, and unfortunately I who was a nobody could be close friends with him. Is this irony or luck to me?

Huft

I can't explain it clearly, but I need to stay self-aware. How could a prince befriend an ash scoop just like that!? There are many who are better suited to be his friends, and gradually he will forget me.

And from this moment on I was determined to be better for my father and sister. Those I have I will not make any regrets about what I have achieved.

Two years later.

"Tika, to the canteen yuk!"
