The Foreign Taste

Curiously Mira

A few days later, two days before the release of the report.

"Num, I like this guy again. But it's like the guy likes another girl" said Mira suddenly as the two were walking towards the library.

"Hmm.. Do you know where that guy likes another girl, Mir?" Ask Ranum.

"Know that. From the way the guy behaves to the girl. It looks like she likes that girl!" Complain Mira.

"Continue?"

"Keep what?" Ask Mira back.

"Yes, how do you want it?" Tanya Ranum returned.

"You know.hmm.hmm don't know either. confused," said Mira honestly.

"Do you want to shoot that guy? Want to date her?" Tanya Ranum investigated.

"Hhh. I don't know, Num. I'm still confused myself. He wants to shoot me" said Mira with hopeful eyes.

"That means you wish you had a more equal relationship with her, Mir.." Ranum concluded.

"..iya also... in your opinion, I guess I can not be the same?" Ask Mira worriedly.

"depends."

"Depends on what, Num?" Asked Mira with a serious look.

"Depending on someone will reveal the feeling or not. And depends on whether it will be accepted or not anyway.."

"Our class drama story yesterday, huh, Num?"

"Yes.. Secretly like each other. Secretly harboring each other's feelings. Without knowing that they actually like each other. It is a shame that time is wasted. Try if there is one of them who dare to say love. Maybe both have been so for a long time," added Ranum.

"..."

"...what do you want to borrow, Mir?" Ranum asked Mira when the two were already inside the library.

Mira shook her head.

"I don't want to borrow a book. Just returning this book," added Mira while showing a book in her hands.

"Oh. same. Anum just wants to go back to the book.."

After returning the book, the two decided to cover it to the mushola.

For three days starting from today, the class meeting hour lasts. So no lessons took place. All students are free to roam around while still in the school area.

In Mushola, there are only two students who are praying dhuha. It just so happens that the prayer room of the daughter and son are indeed separated. Separated by a barrier between the two.

Ranum and Mira also resumed their second vent session again.

"But I'm afraid, Num.. What if I get rejected?" Mira expressed her concern.

"Yes already. How you gonna do it again? The right to accept or reject belongs to everyone, Mir. That feeling cannot be forced. If it remains forced, the edges will even hurt," Ranum argued.

"That's yeah? Yeah anyway.. Mira thinks so too. That's a big dilemma, Num. Mira already loves that guy. Very often to his mind.So every time he saw the guy was close to another girl, Mira felt very jealous. Want to get angry with the girl straight away!" Tell Mira honestly.

"duh. Do not let us get angry at people who do not have the same fault as us, deh Mir. Sins. About Mira's feelings for the guy.. Have you tried to go to anything else, Mir?" Tanya Ranum suddenly.

"What do you mean, Num?"

"Yet.. can it be?"

"Yes, it could be possible. Has not been tried. Or, Mira can try fasting often. Anum inget, Mother once said, if fasting is very good to resist lust. According to Anum, liking can be said lust too. Is that not it?"

Mira shakes no idea.

"Well, the point is, by fasting, we will not want to often ingetin ourselves to continue to refrain from doing or thinking things that are not good. So maybe fasting can also be a solution to your problem, Mir.." said Ranum.

"...that's it, Num?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"So, am I fasting?" Tanya Mira made sure.

"Yes, Mir. Try it!"

"Keep, if I see that guy being with another girl, I keep wanting to hit them how dong?" Tanya Mira is still raving.

"Yes, don't be Mir, jealousy is a natural thing. But let us not be controlled by our jealousy, Mir. Stay cool's. Anyway, we are still students. What's the use of boyfriend-dating? Just make a baper if according to Anum," added Ranum.

"Aren't you going out, Num?" Tanya Mira was curious.

"Yes would.."

"?.."

"But later. If I were married. So his relationship after marriage. That's what my Mother said, the most cool type of courtship," said Ranum again.

"Huh?? Dating after marriage?! Are you in a hurry to get married, Num? After we graduate High School, you want to get married?!" Asked Mira in a louder voice.

"Syuuut. pelanin dong voice, Mir. embarrassed to hear another.." Ranum reminded Mira.

"Eh. Ja. Sorry yeah. Excuse me. So, you want to get married when we graduate High School, Num?" Tanya Mira repeated.

"Don't know either. It doesn't look like her soul mate either. Anum really wants to work first, so I can help Daddy and Mommy. About marrying. hihihi. our age is still very young, Mir. Why are we thinking about getting married!" Ranum's chuckles.

"Ehehe, yes, too. You are, Num! I want to date after marriage. I thought about marriage too."

"Hahaha. yes. Ah, change the topic. Or are we going to class now? Tanti same Tika seems to have also returned from the canteen," asked Ranum.

"Come on! Hmm. still confused how to ngadepin guy I like, Num," continued Mira.

"Udah. don't bother thinking about it ah. We pray a lot. Hopefully our report value is not red. It will also pity our parents if our grades are low." said Ranum.

"Well! Yes yes too. If you don't know, Num. I will forget the same report that will be shared tomorrow after tomorrow," said Mira.

"Basic. Then, don't baperan just, Mir. We are still students. Our main task is to learn. Affairs about the heart, mending stored neat first deh. There are times when we are free to think about love and love. But that's definitely not the moment, Mir. Remember both of our parents who are tired of working for our nyekolahin. Aye right?" Ranum's papar at length.

"Hhh, that's right you said, Num. Hmm. doain me yes, Num. Let me pass this feeling of love to that guy. I think it's better to avoid seeing him. Let's not kepo-cop or menggerasain jealousy blind, that's it.." said Mira later.

"Well. It's a good idea. Before class, we go to the cafeteria first! Haus nih," said Ranum.

"Come on! I'm thirsty too" added Mira.

And, the two women joined hands to the school cafeteria. This time with a calmer feeling compared to some time before her.

A conversation about love is forgotten. Replaced by talk about other things about their school.
