Take My Heart's

WHAT HAPPENED TO DANIEL?

This morning the sky looks clear. The flag ceremony took place with wisdom. All the students began to scatter towards their classes. As the other students casually walked into the classroom, Daniel did the opposite. He walked quickly to his class, leaving his three friends who were walking casually accompanied by their exciting chatter. Actually, after the flag ceremony was over, he wanted to meet Khalisha. There were still a few minutes before entering class, he could see Khalisha's face first. But unfortunately, after the ceremony was over, Khalisha walked quickly along with a girl. And unfortunately, while chasing after her, Khalisha had already entered the classroom. With a heavy heart, he had to undo his intentions.

Daniel sat with a grim face. Many times he sighed, then stuck his chin on his folded two hands. When he thought about it, he became annoyed at himself. If he didn't play the game until midnight, he wouldn't wake up. It was certain that he could pick up Khalisha at his house to leave together for school. But what can I do. Everything has happened. Rather than get punished for being late, he decided to go straight to school. He believes that Khalisha is already in school. And rightly so. When he arrived at the school grounds, he saw Khalisha walking towards the school grounds like the other students.

Nathan, Andhika, and Bayu who have just entered the classroom catch the figure of Daniel sitting with an unusual face. Only this time did they find Daniel's always cold face to others turning somberly uninspired. Actually, not only those who feel strange, female fans who are in class with Daniel were astonished. Only, they did not dare to approach or disturb Daniel. They were all afraid that it would make Daniel angry at them.

"Why the child? Tumben really bent his face so," whispered Bayu with a gaze that was still fixed on Daniel.

"No idea. Again a satanic time," whispered Nathan of origin.

Andhika gave a small smile hearing Nathan's reply. He whispered, "If you say that don't bother you, Than. It's still morning. Where there's a demon running around this early in the morning."

"Who knows there is. That is proof of Daniel. Early in the morning he had his face bent" Nathan said with a strange look at Daniel.

"Most also think of the puja girl," whispered Bayu guessing.

"Yes, yeah. Why don't I think about it, huh?" nathan whispered a glance towards Bayu. With a mocking smile, he again said, "Well, Yu, how smart are you? Where has your brain been all this time? How smart is it now?"

Hearing Nathan's words, Daniel snorted in annoyance. "Fuck you, Than. If you want to praise me, praise me. Don't use everything."

"Well, what else. That's the truth," Nathan sneered back.

Andhika laughed at the behavior of her two friends. There was a saying of Nathan that ended in a small commotion between him and Bayu. Among himself, Nathan, Daniel, and Bayu, Nathan is the most fad. Nathan does like to do prank on Bayu, making Bayu often upset with him.

If they are not friends for long, of course Bayu will be really hostile to Nathan because of his words. Such a scene was already common among himself, Nathan, Daniel, and Bayu. The difference in nature between them and also the small fights that often occur that unconsciously make the friendship between them last until now.

"You two are doing the work noisily? Not bored of what?" andhika asked after Nathan and Bayu's fight.

"Nathan tuh who started first" said Bayu annoyed.

"Udah. No need to argue anymore. Yuk, samperin Daniel! Mumpung Pak Husen has not entered," said Andhika stepped towards his desk.

Nathan and Bayu finally end their quarrel. Seeing Andhika leave, Nathan and Bayu step away to their table. Both of their eyes were not used to seeing the gloomy Daniel uninspired. Looking at Daniel's expression now, they preferred the cold Daniel.

"Niel, are you here? Why not wait for us?" ask Nathan. He sat down and put his bag on the table.

Daniel rejoiced from his daydream. He looked in shock at Nathan who was already sitting in his chair. So engrossed with his thoughts, he did not realize the arrival of his three friends.

"Have you come?" daniel asked just out of his mouth.

"Why are you, Niel? Tumben really bent your face so. If there is a problem, the stories dong to us. Who knows, we can give him the solution" Nathan said, a little worried.

"Yes, Niel. You tell us. If we can, we will help" continued Andhika.

"Nathan is the same as Dhika. If there is a problem, do not keep it yourself. We are friends. We will help you" Bayu said.

Daniel looked strangely. He did not understand at all the direction of the conversation of his three friends. There, he was even a little annoyed because the three of them had disturbed his daydream.

"Niel!" call Nathan in a surprising voice.

"What?" ask Daniel lazily.

"Just tell me what your problem is!" nathan can't wait to hear it.

"Who said I had a problem? I don't have a problem, really," Daniel told a lie.

"No need to lie, Niel. If you really don't have a problem, it's impossible to bend your face."

"God, Niel. Story to us. We will help you, really," said Bayu suddenly. He was actually very curious to hear Daniel's story. Seldom did Daniel want to tell me about his problem.

"If Daniel does not want to tell a story, do not have to be forced," said Andhika finally. It's also heartless to see Daniel continue to be forced.

Nathan and Bayu were silent. What Andhika said was right. They can't force Daniel if Daniel won't share their story.

"Yes, yeah. We're happy" Nathan said disappointedly.

Seeing his three friends disappointed, he felt heartless. However, they are her best friends and are always there for her.

"Alright, alright. I'll tell you the story" Daniel said at last.

Nathan, Andhika, and Bayu were very happy to hear that. They were already impatient to hear what a bully was in the cold mind of his best friend.

"Khalisha go."

Nathan, Andhika, and Bayu are both shocked to hear that. It turns out Bayu's guess was correct. Daniel could have been moody because he thought of Khalisha.

"Where did he go? She moved house or moved school?" nathan asked curiously.

"No. Khalisha didn't move house and school."

"If you don't move house and school, then where does he go? If the story is not half-and-half, dong. I don't understand" Nathan said confusedly.

Daniel took a breath. His face returned glum. "Khalisha get out of my house. He's coming home."

Nathan, Andhika, and Bayu both gawk at Daniel's answer. A few seconds later, they laughed. It's never on their minds when there's a time when a Daniel can be moody just because of a girl.

"Oh my goodness, Niel. You're like this because of that?" nathan asked without stopping his laughter.

"It's natural that he's coming home. He has his own home and family. After all, he is not your family either. It is not good for him to linger in your house. You can't just hide him in your house" Andhika explained.

"But I can't see him. I just couldn't pick him up at his house" Daniel said honestly.

"Oh my goodness, Niel. I just saw you like this this this time. Tuh really great girl, can make a cold and indifferent Daniel changed," said Bayu amazed at the figure of Khalisha.

"You can meet him at school. After the break, you'll have her in her class" Andhika suggested.

"But still can't meet him as much. A break is for a moment. Especially now that he has friends. It will be hard to meet him. He must have been his friend anyway" lamented Daniel.

Bayu laughed a little. "I think you really like Khalisha."

"Likes?" daniel asked confused.

"Yes, likes. If I see him, it feels good. But if you don't see him, it feels heavy. The thought just kept on shadowing her face," Bayu smiled.

"Duh, words. How good is the explanation? I think you have a boyfriend," asked Nathan to tease Bayu.

"You don't know yet, Than. I already have a boyfriend. If I don't have one, how could I dare to say that" Bayu said, bragging.

"Huh?! Do you have a girlfriend? How did you tell us?" nathan asked in shock. He did not expect that Bayu already had a girlfriend.

"I didn't intentionally tell you. You guys are still single. Later even hit again with my boyfriend. My boyfriend is beautiful, you know."

"Say if you're jealous" Nathan said, laughing.

Daniel no longer listened to the three friends. He still thinks of the word Bayu. To be honest, he himself was still confused by his own feelings. He did not know if he really liked Khalisha or not. Khalisha's return seemed to make him lose his spirit. He even had time to enter the room that Khalisha had occupied. I don't know. All he knows is that he wants to be on Khalisha's side.
