SMILE BEHIND THE SORROW

I'M FINE IRENE

Reza still did not reply to my words, she still held my hand tightly. His eyes were looking straight ahead. I wanted to let go of this hand but it was very difficult. My palms are wet from Reza's grasp. I saw my friends at the classroom. I'm looking for the figure I want to help.

Danu, well where Danu is right now I want to ask for help to take my hand off Reza's. The figure who already seemed to understand the meaning of my gaze. He walked up to me and Reza, and patted her on the shoulder.

"Za, wherever you don't go home.The children are looking for you, you know, you know" Danu said to Reza. The one who was called only looked at me for a while and then looked at me.

" Za, I already know you are very dear but you are not able to see Iren insulted continuously by your Mama. You don't be selfish Za, even though you're not dating anymore but at least you can still be friends." Danu continued.

Reza is very close to Danu because Danu is actually still his cousin. Reza is also open only to Danu. With the persuasion and understanding that Danu gave finally Reza let go of this hand.

" If it's your decision, I'll take it. Although it's heavy because you were my first love Ren. I don't want you getting hurt either. I want to see you as cheerful as you used to be, let's just say we've never had this feeling." Cold, that's what I caught from Reza's words.

" Here!" nodding as an answer.

I don't know, when I heard Reza's last words I felt a thorn in my heart. My throat was choked like a rock was stuck. I could no longer say, I wanted to step class, but Reza's hand checks stopped my legs.

" I'm going to move out of town, and I'm sure I'm going to make it easier for you to forget me. I hope I never come back. Good luck to Ren, until whenever I don't want to be friends with you." said Reza who escaped made me and everything froze.

I let go of my check and he left without looking back one last time.

"Did I hurt her feelings? Do I follow my ego too much." My mind says.

My body froze as it was made. His words still ring clearly in my ears. After Reza's departure, I immediately ran to my hiding place first. Where every grievance I poured out in that place. No tears came out just the tightness I felt.

Without me knowing there was someone following me when I ran here. Wildan, he's always there when I need a friend to lean on. What instinct he has, maybe our friendship that has been established long enough.

" Hey, it's your hiding place" Wildan said, surprising me.

" You know I'm here, Wil." I'm surprised that Wildan can find me here.

"You know, from the smell of your body." joked Wildan. I who got the joke just smiled knot.

" You're okay, Ren, I saw Reza, but you're not wearing a school uniform. Doesn't he go to school." asked Wildan curiously.

" Wil, when you were I refused what you felt. I used to avoid you without giving you an answer." My question surprised Wildan. Seen from the movement of his body that directly faced me.

" Did you tell Reza" asked Wildan again.

" He'emb, I said he didn't accept my decision. Before I said it he said he would never break up with me. My hand alone did not let go until I asked Danu for help. You know Danu Wil who was talking to you with Tio. Danu helped me explain it to Reza, the grace of her face looked so cold Wil. It was colder Reza's face back then." I exhaled slowly to continue again.

" What poor people like us are always seen as weak by people like them. Which has a higher degree. Wil, I shouldn't have this feeling, I should have been self-conscious before I accepted Reza first. I'm like the back that misses the moon." I said. I bowed lamenting my fate

And without feeling clear circles have flowed profusely on both of my cheeks.

" Ren?" Vey who appeared from behind. I looked up a little at the person in front of me. I see that Vey and Tio are here too. I don't know when they were here, they were following me. I was sitting quietly watching Vey in front of me. Jumping into her tiny body, I spilled all my sadness that I could no longer be quiet.

" Let's all get some cannons. Must be hungry, right? No need to talk about it anymore. Lager it out later." Temptation Vey sticks out my nose. I who got Vey's treatment also smiled. Although truthfully there are many more that I have been waiting for.

" Ayok Vey, I'm hungry too" said Tio walking ahead of us.

Vey walked while embracing my shoulder, occasionally he smiled at me. It was so warm the smile Vey gave me. I saw two men walking in front of me. That shoulder that used to be my resting place.

Tio ordered food and drinks for the three of us. I was sitting next to Vey, he was still wrapping his arm around my shoulder. Like I've known for a long time, but I really like Vey who has never been picky in making friends. Very, I regret his friends used to stay away from him just for unreasonable reasons.

"Ren, are you all right?" vey asked me as I looked down my head.

" Yes, Vey I'm fine." I replied with a smile.

"Wil, why do you look like that. Saturation well you." said Vey to Wildan who had seen me earlier.

Not long ago Tio came with a tray containing our order. I just ordered a glass of avocado juice. I stirred up my drink with an occasional sip of it.

From a direction that does not know Reza is paying attention accompanied by Danu. Reza still can't accept if Iren decides. He did not hate Iren and did not fully say not to meet Iren anymore. Maybe for now this is the best, because soon they want 3rd class.

****

Me, Vey, Tio and Wildan are at Vey's house. Mommy and Mbg Asri welcome my arrival, Wildan and Tio. Seeing the warmth that Mother and Mbg Asri give is like eliminating all the pain earlier. I am very comfortable with this family.

I've never been to Vey's house this whole time. Although the distance from our house was not too far away, it was just that I was avoiding Wildan. Vey told me all the problems I've been having. Mommy and Mbg Asri asked me to stay strong.

" Yes, my son, your future is long. Don't just because a breakup can interfere with your school. This is what Mother often says to Vey." Mother counsels me like advising her biological child.

"Yes Mother, thank you I will always remember your advice." I replied to Mother Vey.

Mbg Asri and Vey are preparing food for us to eat. Vey put all his food in the garden behind his house. I who want to help prepare are not allowed to be the same Mother. He said he wanted to visit my house after this.

" Food is ready Mother Queen." seduced Vey to her Mother. If Vey's house looks very spoiled to his mother. He struggled spoiled without shame to feel mita. Maybe Wildan and Tio have been. used to seeing the familiarity of Mother and Child. Because they often play at Vey's house.

From the outside, someone knocked on the door before entering the house. Looked like a man with his service uniform. The first smile that was shown.

" Eh, there's a new kid yah Bun, why don't you tell Papa anyway" he said. I who was told by the new boy immediately greeted Papa Vey. One more warmth I got from the Vey family.

True said people, the Vey family is very friendly and light-handed. They are very different from other rich people. It is this wisdom that makes them happy. There is no need for a large and multi-storey house if you want to be happy. Quite openness in the family is paramount. Like me, Mom and Dad. I have a new family after Wildan and Tio.

NOTES: FAILURE IN ANY RELATIONSHIP IS NATURAL. BUT IN SEARCHING FOR SCIENCE, THERE IS NO WORD TO FAIL.
