Episode 5's

They leave and act like it never happened. They come back and act like they never left.

People think Hazel is cold untouched. His face was rather haughty, making people disinclined to him. His high status also made people afraid of making trouble with him. But Hazel is not that kind of person. He is just like the others. He needs attention and affection. Indeed, Hazel is not a sociable person, let alone open to others.

Everyone is different, right?

That morning, on Tuesday, the sun cheerfully began to reveal itself. The light entered through the window belonging to a magnificent house with classic nuances so that it spread the warmth throughout the room.

He glanced at the wall clock installed in the living room. It's still 6 past 20, but he's ready at the dinner table. Though usually Hazel wakes up right when the entrance bell of Tantara High School sounds. He was even tidy while enjoying his bowl of cereal.

In fact, he deliberately woke up early in order to meet his parents. They are so busy that they rarely make time for Hazel.

His left hand grabbed the rough of the phone located in front of him while his right hand fed a spoonful of cereal into his mouth.

His forehead wrinkled. There was a message coming in from an unknown person. Supposedly, not a single student of Tantara High School knows his contact. He stopped eating and his brain kept guessing who sent this message.

You're feeling better? Just rest first. If you need anything, tell me! Oh yeah, this is my number. On the save, yeah!

Hazel pecked and quickly slammed the origin of her phone. He patted his head. Ah, yesterday's incident. Why should he show his weakness in front of the girl? Hazel doesn't like to look weak. He is strong, and will always be strong.

"What can I say to someone else?!" The sound of a clashing sound from his parents' room made Hazel a little shocked. "Destroy our reputation, Elly!"

"You still care about reputation?! Where's your heart, Alex? Our son just" the middle-aged woman snapped her words and sobbed. He could not continue that sentence. "..died."

Hazel sighed. His head lowered and he rubbed his face slowly. There was a deep look of disappointment, but gradually Hazel got used to it. This atmosphere has become a part of his life. Nothing has changed, everything is the same, only the claustrophobic Hazel can accept.

"Anyways, don't let the boy do anything anymore" Alex recalled to Elly, Hazel's mother. "Yesterday's events will not be as widespread in the media. Tantara High School can't be scandalized!" she said coldly, then left Elly with a loud bang on the door.

Both Alex and Hazel were on the spot. Hazel sees her father for the first time in a long time. Even on his crumbling day, Alex was not present beside him.

Alex has shown no interest in Hazel. When Hazel wants to talk, Alex throws her face away and speeds up to the porch.

It's always like that.

Hazel threw out her rough breath and turned her head as the door screams rang out. It was Elly who showed up with her face.

"Papa hurts mama again, huh?" hazel asked worriedly, but she knew the answer.

Elly shook her head slowly. "Udah, you don't have to think about Mama. You take care of your school first."

"bad dad. I don't like papa." Hazel said sarcastically, making Elly's countenance a little angry. "I woke up early to see my mom getting along, not fighting like this."

"You can't do that, Hazel. Papa is really good, he's just crazy about his job," explains Elly, holding back the emotions that suddenly flare up in the chest.

Hazel got emotional. "She married Mama just for status, Ma. When did you know that?!"

Elly's breath went off when she heard that word. "Hazel!"

"I'm really, right?!"

"You don't have the right to say that!" elly shouted while pointing at her son. "For you, our family is broken! Don't blame your papa! You made Lidya die!"

Hazel remained silent until silence covered them. Elly felt guilty, but Hazel's heart was already hurt.

"Sorry, mama-"

"Father ma," Hazel interrupted the conversation. "I know, I'm the cause, right?"

He hooked the backpack on his shoulder and moved out of his chair. Hazel's feet stepped into the toilet, leaving her mother, and pensively pensively pensively in front of the glass. He saw his own reflection.

Mama's right. It is the main cause of the destruction of this family. Why does he keep looking for loopholes from his papa so that his mistakes can shift?

No one cares about him. No one believes him.

It was painful, but it could not be explained with words. He was too reluctant to share his story, let alone his heart.

TING'S. A ringtone message went in, making the owner turn his head and his iris catch the number again there.

Nayara Pratista: Hello? Lo belom wake up, huh? If you have read it, answer dong.

No one deserves him.

Rara pursed her lips as the short message went unanswered by Hazel. Is that guy okay now? Looking at yesterday's events, Rara believes, Hazel must have been traumatized by something. He can feel it.

A green bus appeared before him so he hurriedly turned off the phone and went inside. He sat in the second row, near the window.

Usually, he would go to school with Alzra because the guy kept insisting on dropping her off for safety reasons. But, he should not rely too much on Alzra.

Rara opens her backpack and takes her favorite novel. Just now that he wanted to open his novel, a hand rubbed his hair rough and gave a distinctive grin to him.

Rara's eyes were wide. "Why take the bus too?!"

"Who? Can't she?" ask Alzra confusedly. "Bosen knows that he's going to his own school."

Rara clucked then glared sharply. "So you follow me?!"

Alzra nodded innocently then sat down next to Rara. Her smile expanded so that Rara could see a row of neatly lined teeth. Alzra looks ten times more handsome when he smiles.

"I'm racing in 2 weeks at Tirta High School. It just so happened that their school again had no cup," explained Alzra then his hand reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a thin sheet of paper from there. "I bought tickets for you. Don't forget the date!  There's no alesan!" babble Alzra while grinning.

Rara takes the ticket from Alzra and watches. "Gue has to come, huh? Tell Della to come."

Alzra Eyebrows. "Should be! I also need support from you" he said passionately. "This time, you have to be barbaric right after my support!  Don't get hem-diem kayak yesterday! Thankfully I won."

Rara rolled her eyes, pretending to be upset, but she still could not help but smile.

Alzra yawned and stretched her body. "Jude, I slept first. Tired of it, wake up if it's nyampe."

Rara nodded, but her heart kept beating as if it wanted to explode. First, he did not expect that Alzra went with him, and secondly, of the many passenger seats on the bus, why the opposite of Rara?

That feeling began to appear again, making the owner press him tightly. The journey near feels far away.

Rara glanced at Alzra who seemed to have fallen asleep, but she immediately turned her gaze out the window.

Nope, no. He can't like Alzra, no matter what.

His eyes swept out everything he saw along the way. His hand squeezed tightly into his skirt to cause wrinkles in his uniform.

A DUG! The school bus was suddenly shaken due to a rather high climb.

At that very moment, Rara was sculpting as she felt a weight on her shoulder. Someone is leaning towards him.

Quiescent. That's all Rara can do. He closed his eyes and breathed a rough sigh.

He opened his eyes and Rara's heart seemed to tremble when the pair of gray beads were still closed. Rara's view was blocked because of her beauty. His body went limp for a while, but he soon regained consciousness.

Alzra belongs to Della. What is this self-power? Rara is nobody but someone who loves her in silence.

Like dusk and land, looking at each other but not tied together, staring at each other but not settling into each other
