"Two days, Papa you're going back to Bandung."
Reya looked straight at Andra who started to change her facial expression with hardened jaws.
"Oh," response. "I think, Papa has forgotten that he has a family because he takes care of his company more."
"Andra!"
Andra looked up, looking at Reya who just snapped at him. "Am I wrong?"
Reya let out her breath trying to dampen the emotions. "Free! Once you meet, the edges also fight because of small problems that are not important."
Andra grunting. "Papa's problem is tired of work but Mama is rarely at home because busy with school affairs? Or Mama who is often angry with Papa, because she is always busy out of town for meetings, rather than choosing to stay at home and can have dinner with us?"
"Andra!"
Reya snapped at him once more, for Andra to stop talking.
"It's not just Papa who's tired. It's not just my mom who's tired. Andra is also tired of you who are always selfish with your feelings."
"Andra's.."
Reya's voice weakened hearing Andra who continued to express her feelings that made Reya's chest as if pierced.
"Sometimes, I don't know what God meant by this. I don't know why I was born into a family that never gave me happiness!"
Plaque!
Andra looked at Reya for a moment, then ran away from the room. The man climbed the stairs in a hurry.
Rock as hard as anything will be eroded if rain drops always hit it hard in a row. Trees as strong as anything can fall easily if the storm constantly hits them. Reya was stunned, staring at her palm that accidentally slapped her beloved son.
Reya saw Andra emerge from above, then climb up a few steps quickly. The man grabbed the key of the motor in front of Reya and ran to the doorway. Reya tried to hold him back. But it can't. Andra is too stubborn.
Reya's head bowed, letting the clear liquid flow from the corner of her eyes. "Sorry Mama."
•••
Adyra grunting.
If only he had not been tempted by a new novel with a 50% discount for the first 50 buyers, he would have been squatting on the mattress while watching Korean movies after coming home from school.
Adyra glanced at the circular watch on her left wrist many times. The day is getting darker, and until now there have been no signs of buses or public transportation just passing by.
The girl was pacing back and forth from earlier with worry. It was the fiftyth time Adyra had tried to contact her Papa. But the result is zero. The phone is still busy today. He can't walk from the Mall to the house, right? He could have his feet later.
But if Adyra does not go home immediately, he does not guarantee how the snapper and copet reactions are said to always run around this stop.
"You're coming home with me"
The sound of the motor engine being stopped, made Adyra slightly stunned. Adyra squeezed the end of her shirt nervously. All of his worries seemed to be fading after he returned to hearing that familiar voice.
Adyra sped up her footsteps without any intention of retaliating or glancing at someone who was about 3 meters behind her back. Adyra had not been able to walk, someone had already blocked his wrist.
"Lo's deaf, huh?"
Adyra immediately turned her head, "hard, I can do it myself," then brushed off her rough hands.
"There will be no public transport at this hour" he said.
"When do you care about my life?"
Andra raised her upper lip in wonder. Since when can this bar-bar girl behave this cold. He even brushed off her hand violently as Andra tried to be nice to him.
"But—"
"Don't make people feel like dong, Mas"
Andra turned her head, turning her gaze toward a mother who spoke up. There's a lot of people there. In front of the stall a few steps from the bus stop. Everyone there nodded, approving the mother's sentence.
"He's my friend, Mom," he said.
Adyra turned towards Andra, then shook her head. "No. I don't know him" he said.
Andra's head rotated automatically hearing Adyra's confession. Some of the people who were in the stall were staring at Andra warily. It was as if Andra had no good intentions for the girl.
Adyra stepped away, leaving Andra alone there. The man stepped back, picking up the original parked motorbike on the sidewalk while avoiding the people looking at him suspiciously.
Sometimes Adyra looks back, just to confirm the existence of Andra. And still, Andra was still chasing him. Adyra quickened her footsteps. But unfortunately, Adyra's footsteps can not rival the speed of Andra's motorbike. Andra manages to cut Adyra's way by stopping her bike right in front of the girl.
"You want what, anyway?"
"What does Lo want?" Andra walked over to Adyra. "Lo want me to be thumped with the citizens, because of your statement earlier?"
Adyra slightly pulled the corner of her lips after hearing Andra's words. "Why do I care if you get thumped or not?" Andra stunned. "It's not you who told me to do not care about you anymore? Let's just say we've never known."
"Lo... angry?"
"There's no good reason for me to be angry at you."
Adyra exhales. "You know, Ndra. I'm busy."
Andra's shoulder was slightly jolted because it accidentally came into contact with Adyra's shoulder which was still covered in a shirt. I don't know what feelings include Andra, she doesn't know. I don't think Andra wants to be in this situation. He regretted having made himself trapped in this state.
That cheerful face had turned cold and wistful in just an interval of some time. Andra looked at Adyra's back which was slowly getting away. Some cars that run at normal speeds make the atmosphere of the road more crowded.
Adyra lowered her head, trying to stem the tears that would fall for some reason. A scream disturbed his hearing. But Adyra ignored him.
The girl walked straight, without a care. Andra's eyeballs moved restlessly looking at Adyra who was increasingly walking out of the sidewalk area with her head down. Andra stiffened her jaw furiously as the girl was still ignoring her screams.
Until a car drove at an abnormal speed made Andra's eyeballs perfectly rounded.
"FUCKER!!"
•••
Silent.
His head was throbbing pain as he tried to get used to the glimmer of light that forced its way through his visual gap.
The girl was trying to remember what happened before she ended up in this room. But unfortunately, he had not had time to remember everything, his forehead was increasingly throbbing pain as if he did not let the girl remember anything.
"Adyra?"
Adyra was surprised to see someone coming out from behind the door. The girl positioned her body to sit as the person drew closer to her. Adyra's arm was held, before Adyra could sit perfectly. "You're still weak" he said. "Don't be forced, huh?"
Adyra nodded as if according. Until now, he had not even remembered what happened to him before.
"You who? Why am I here?"
The woman smiled, as if hinting at Adyra to not have to worry about anything. "Don't you remember me?" the woman's words made Adyra shake her head.
"Reya Sasmitha, Principal of Pancasila High School, don't you remember?"
Adyra immediately closed her mouth accidentally because she heard the woman's words. Adyra felt shocked and confused as to why she could be at the headmaster's house.
"God! Sorry, Mom, I just realized it was Mom. Pretty mom," the answer is clumsy.
Adyra cursed her brash lips that nyerocos not clear. Adyra just smiled awkwardly at Reya's naughtiness.
"But..how can I be here, Mom?" ask again to make sure.
Reya did not answer. He only smiled slightly as he put down a tray filled with a bowl of porridge and a glass of water.
"There's never been a history of a girl he's treated like this before." Reya took a breath and smiled lightly. "You're the first time. And I hope, she can change after knowing you."
Adyra stunned. He increasingly did not understand what this all meant. Adyra caught a clear look of sincerity from Reya's eyes as the woman blurted out her sentence. Those eyes were pacifying, reminding him of someone he felt was very familiar with.
She's she?
Who is he referring to?
•••
A flash of his memory captured clearly how the girl was being cold to him. Makes the guy feel a little weird with his brain and heart performance.
For the first time, Andra felt restless. For the first time, Andra felt troubled. And for the first time too, all those feelings were on a girl.
All this time Andra only knows selfishness, and closes his eyes with all things related to feelings. The fate he had received had taught him to live without feeling and caring.
But with this girl, all of those statements seemed to disappear instantly along with an increasingly stirring feeling for some reason.
"Lo... how?"
Andra's gaze was still flat as usual. But with his tone of speech, it simply could not cover up the feeling of worry that was interfering with his heartbeat.
"Still sick?"
"Dizziness?"
"So there's a sprained one?"
"Atau—"
"So you brought me here?"
Andra grunting. Staring at the annoyed Adyra who had absolutely no intention of answering her question. "Yes.. according to lo?"
Adyra was silent for a moment, without turning her cynical gaze over.
"Gue wants to go home!"
Adyra lowered her feet to the floor, then stepped with a stagger. Andra tried to hold Adyra's arm, but Adyra had pulled him rough. "Effort to hold!" grimace while glaring.
Andra rolled her eyeballs, seeing Adyra who still insisted on walking even though her footsteps were messy because she was still staggering.
"Free you won't get out. Because I'm the key to the door." Andra brandished the horde of metal keys, while swinging them in the air.
"Silk!" Adyra hissed, making Andra's activities stop instantly.
"What's wrong, you? I care, wrong. I'm so funny, I'm wrong too. It's not you yourself who told me the same if—"
"Gue pull my words."
"Lo—"
"Gue's sorry."
Adyra was stunned for a moment after hearing the stark statement that was perfectly thrown from Andra's lips. For the first time, Adyra caught a glimmer of sincerity as she stared at the bead.
Andra took a bowl of grits that were on the nightstand, then moved to the girl. Adyra stared at the porridge bowl fixedly.
"Watch it as a return to my time, as well as a sign of apology."
Andra moved her feet away, leaving Adyra who was busy in her daydreams still faithfully staring at the bowl of porridge fixed. When she reached the doorway, Andra turned her head for a moment. "Gue anterin lo go home, after you eat."
"Good night."

In the morning, at the gate of Pancasila High School.
Aldo sat on his big black bike with his arm in his arm. Sunlight that was warmed up has now changed to heat up with time. And until now, the nose of the headmaster's child has not been nongolous as well.
"Where is the Hydra? Tumbenan is late. Usually, the cat stall next door has not crowed also nongol aja he," cibir Aldo gereget himself. "Where will there be more physics."
Eric raised next to an eyebrow, while Rio frowned. "Since when can cats crow, ogeb?"
Aldo slightly distanced his body as Rio's hands were scrambling to shake his smooth eel. "The handsome man is free!" he said, patting his chest proudly.
Eric and Rio mopped Aldo alternately until he lowered his head while yelling, "don't anything adek, bang! Adek is still holy," by installing his characteristic weld looks.
Shortly after, a motorbike approached their place leisurely. Andra took off the helmet on her head, then ruffled a bit of her hair as usual. The school uniform that came out of his gray pants, was covered perfectly with a black jacket wrapped around his strapping body.
"This is it, you brat! I wait for you from my face that was so cute until it became so cute because of the heat under the sun," said Aldo sarcasm. Andra just glanced, without any intention of talking.
"This again, nih! Why else face? Tousled like a thousand dollars." Aldo flocked Andra with a variety of useless babble. "Lo abis staying up late? Abis watching a ball, or can't sleep?"
"So get out of the way, ah! Noisy." Andra pushed Aldo's shoulder slightly away. His mind was now in a mess, he was dizzy, and now it was still early in the morning had faced the figure of a model creature so.
"That's the way my lips are like my mother's" Eric spoke up, patting Aldo's lips with his hand.
"Bodos! What matters is that my lips are sexy, not lo!"
"What's Eric's lips on, Do?" timpal Rio provoked emotions.
"Thin' like a wet tissue that's always next to my house closet!"
"What do you say—"
Eric rounded his eyes as Aldo's palm smothered his mouth. Eric looked confusedly at Rio who was sticking his index finger on his lips as if hinting him not to talk. Aldo blinked his eyes repeatedly at Eric, then turned his eyes from behind Andra's back.
"Lo... why?"
Andra put on a surprised expression as she looked at Adyra who was standing about 3 steps away from her. The girl shook with her head down.
Andra frowned confusedly as the girl raised her head, then pulled a line of sweet smiles on her lips. Andra smiled inwardly accepting that smile. For some reason, it feels like Andra misses the sweet smile that seemed to have not been captured for a long time.
"Good morning, boyfriend!"
The expression on Andra's face that was originally mediocre has now changed drastically after Adyra said the sentence clearly. His eyes were round in disbelief at the sentence he had just heard.
Adyra smiled more widely, even almost giggled amusedly at the face of Andra who looked funny when shocked. "Smile dong!"
Adyra pulled both corners of Andra's lips with each index finger to reveal a line of smiles on the boy's lips. "Well, that's pretty!" i'm proud.
For some reason, Andra smiled unexpectedly before. The guy snorted amusedly at the behavior of the girl who was as usual.
"Now! sandwiches for you," he said while offering a blue square dining box.
Andra raised her eyebrows inexplicably. "Yes, that's for you" Adyra explained. "Take it, as a form of gratitude from me, make it last night."
Adyra smiled faintly as she looked at Andra who was taking the lunchbox from her hand. The girl immediately frowned with her head bowed in embarrassment. Andra looked at the dining box then, smiling little afterwards.
"What's up?"
Andra was surprised, as Rio was suddenly already beside her. "What the hell!"
"Lo abis what was last night?" Aldo started again. "Lo's not weird, is he? You're not a macem, are you? You don't know anybody's kid, do you, Ndra?"
Andra shrugged her shoulders indifferently, then left the three of them without removing the smile that seemed to be clearly imprinted on her lips.
Eric shuddered in horror at Andra who was still smiling like that. Obviously that's not typical of a guy like Andra.
"I'm ambiguous, huh?" said Eric.
"I got goosebumps, huh?" Rio.
The two of them walked in Andra's footsteps still with puzzled expressions. As for Aldo, the guy was still unmoved in place with an unreadable expression.
"More horror, school."
