Night at Naru's House
"Why did Noah stay silent when he met me? Has he been told by Fani about my deal with Dilan? And because of that, he's disappointed?" Naru muttered while looking at the photo he took with the Kodak camera. In the photo, Naru sees Noah's face.
"Luckily, I took him for a picture together. So, I could steal a photo of Noah's face inside. The rest, there are photos with others. Tehhee," Naru chuckled in anxiety.
"Tomorrow, I will print it and give it in its entirety to Noah. He'll be happy."
Naru placed her camera on the study table and walked down from her room. In the kitchen, she saw Dina was picking up a snack in the refrigerator. Naru.
"Dina?"
"Eh, Brother Naru."
"What do you want, Dina?"
"I want to grab a snack in the fridge, brother. Brother himself, what's the matter?"
"I want to make iced tea."
"Sister, if you want to print the photos later, don't forget to give one to me, huh? Especially the one with the photo of Brother Nuha." pinta Dina.
"You really like Noah, don't you? Or maybe because he has a handsome brother?" ask Naru.
"Yes-"
Uncompleted Dina continued her answer, she became annoyed by the voice of Mother who was calling using Japanese. Dina means to eavesdrop.
"Sister, shut up, yeah. Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
"What's wrong?"
"Sttts"
"Mamiya's? How are you doing? Can I help you?" my mother's voice is in Japanese. Dina intended to try to understand the conversation.
"Continue eavesdropping on you. I'll go back to my room" said the unconcerned Naru.
"Haish, this Naru Sister, has no curiosity," complained Dina as she continued to eavesdrop. She learns that Mom received a call from her best friend in Japan, named Mamiya. Both mothers still communicate by phone and email.
However, something was going on with his mother's friend. A sad and concerned look on his face. Dad came to the phone and asked.
"Mother, what's wrong?" ask dad.
"Mamiya, her husband is entangled in a corruption case in his company. To solve her problem, she wants to leave Naomi to us."
"Why should he be entrusted to us? What about his relatives there?" ask dad.
"I don't know for sure, Anata. What is clear, he left Naomi to us so that the child was not stressed and avoided gossip. Poor thing, he's still in school and he's gonna graduate like Naru."
"If Naomi was pinned on us, then what about the school, honey?" ask dad.
"Anata, don't you agree that Naomi is staying with us?", his wife said.
"What?"
"At least we can help them by taking care of Naomi until their problem is solved. We don't let him get slumped in there."
"If it's your decision to help them, I will support you with pleasure" replied the father.
"Thank you very much, my dear."
"Then, when did Naomi leave for Indonesia?"
"Tomorrow."
"If that's the case, tomorrow we'll send the driver and the kids to pick him up at the airport."
Mother and father talk ended, but Dina still eavesdropped in the kitchen. He knew all the details of his mother's conversation.
The next day at school
The next day, at SMK Merdeka Surakarta. On a clear morning, Noah walked into the school gate. Then, Sifa and Yeni ran towards him.
"Noah!"
Sifa greeted him and Noah replied. The Gas Semester exam is over, today there will be a remedial and class meeting. Information about class meetings has been posted in school announcements.
Noah and Sifa were used to it. Right now, they were already 12th grade, so they immediately ignored him.
"It's good to have finished the exam. Asik, we will be free all day until the announcement of value," said Asa who suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation.
"Watching the younger siblings who are racing must be very fun as well" said Sifa with enthusiasm.
"Nuha," call Fani.
"Yes, Fani?"
"I want to tell you something" Fani said as she checked around them.
"What's that?"
"But what if Asa and Sifa knew?"
"Eh? secrets, huh?" noha asked spontaneously.
"Huh? Is there a secret?" asa and sifa simultaneously.
Asa and Sifa immediately paid attention to Fani's talk, "Have it, don't be secrets, Fani," pinta Sifa, getting curious.
"Yes already, Fani. Gakpapa, by the way," replied Noah.
"Yes, by the way, Fani," pinta Asa.
"Yes.. Umm, how do you say that?" fani muttered, confused. "Okay, I want to tell you about Naru. That he can't see you until the end of the semester, Nuha," explained Fani.
"Eh, what's that?"
"There must be a reason, right?", refuted Asa.
"Yes, what is Fani's reason?" sifa.
"Sorry guys, I can't give you a reason. It's not good to give the reason"
"Deeehh"
"Yes already, gakpapa Fani. After all, Mr. Wito is also banning our class for courtship, right. So, it's okay," continued Nuha.
"Then, you should explain it to Naru, Nuha," suggested Sifa.
"But, How is it?" ask Noah.
"Umm. gini only. tomorrow we will make a plan so that you can meet with Naru. We'd better avoid the situation so no classmates know about it" however, Sifa's conversation was interrupted because Noah heard a cat's voice and it sounded in her head.
"Meow.."
"Soya?" said Nuha.
"What's up, Nuha?" ask his 3rd friend.
"It's okay, I have to go out for a while" replied Noah quickly.
"Where?" ask Fani.
"To there..."
Nuha exited the classroom and immediately ran towards the back garden of the school. His feelings became uneasy, disturbed and unsettled.
At the warehouse door, Soya greets Nuha with a response - "Meong".
"Soya, what's wrong?" noha asked as she entered the barn.
Suddenly, his body felt weak and his heart was pounding at the sight of a cat lying there.
"Mayo's? Why is he like that?"
"Meow, meow," replied Soya.
"No, Soya. Mayo! Mayo! No way about Mayo ma-"
"Mayo! Mayo! Wake up! Mayo!" noha shouted in front of the cat, which was already motionless, probably lifeless.
"Mayo! Mayoo! Nah! Awake, Mayo! Please" call on Nuha to start crying. A sigh until the roar of tears can no longer be dammed. She was crying so much.
Seeing the cat dead, Noah was devastated. The feeling of fear of loss began to envelop his heart. She kept crying and called out her cat's name continuously, "Mayo! Mayo!" keep calling him not to give up.
"Naroo! Naaru!!"
"I have to find Naru," he lamented, leaving the cat to rush to class 12D MIPA.
"Norris.." Nuha continued to run and run until her speed could not be controlled and made her fall very hard. Noah fell on the concrete floor so his knee was injured and bleeding, but did not care.
"Naru," Nuha continued running without caring about the pain from her knee.
