That day, I was 10 years old. Where the fire at the Central market at the time occurred. I was separated from my parents because of something that caught my attention. Until I got lost in the market. During the fire, I could only see flames and thick smoke disturbing my breathing and my vision. That day I started to give up but suddenly, a child who was around me came up to me
“Oooiii are you okay ?. follow me if you want to survive” shouted the man.
Frightened, I ran after him and in the middle of our run, the burning wood fell on me. The man helped me even though the wood hit his chest. The man screamed in pain and pushed the wood. She held back her cries and I tried to calm her down.
“are you okay ?” ask her.
“yaahh... hiks. Quick, let's go out..” reply while holding the wound.
Me and the man ran for a way out. And when I got outside, the fire department came and covered us with blankets instantly, I woke up to my dream. My name is Miko, today I am 16 years old. Me, I'm in 3rd grade High School right now.
... ****...
In the morning, my mother and I made breakfast for my sister and my father who were still asleep. While cooking, my mother asked me.
“You're class 3 SMA now. Despite the delinquent look I still want to ask. Do you have a boyfriend ?” ask mom.
“Ha.. Haaahhh !!!??. Te.of course I don't have any. I was too busy at school so I didn't have time to date” my reply to her.
“but you said you found a guy who helped you in the market. Don't you guys have any progress?”
“ibu really interfered anyway. Next time will not tell me again with mom if maksa continues to”
“Heehhh…. Boring once...”.
After we had breakfast, Sanjaya came by the car with Dane.
“MIKOO... YUUKK SCHOOL !!!!?” they scream like children.
Honestly speaking….
Seeing them every day screaming like that in the morning makes me ashamed of the neighbors…
When did all this end ?
... ****...
After arriving at school, we parted ways with Sanjaya. Because this year, he's busy as chairman of Osis.
“I'll go first, guys. Take it if you want to go to the cafeteria?” Sanjaya.
“just relax, we will call after we eat in the canteen kok” reply me to him.
The words made Sanjaya shocked to death.
“isn't that evil Miko ?” ask Dane.
“it's okay anyway we're not serious also kok” reply me to him.
After arriving at the class, I saw Jaka who was sitting just like the previous days. Before the teacher came, he read the novel, now titled Hero Without Weapons. Lately I have always been watching his movements because I want to know, why was he helping me at that time?. After investigating him I came to a conclusion. From the beginning, he loved helping people. Even after the incident between Jaka and Dane, everyone was afraid of him because they thought it was Jakalah who finished off the Dane of his flock.
Everything is seen after the next day, Jaka to school with a face and body that some put on bandages. The Dane and his herd did not go to school because all of their arms and buttocks were in pain until they could neither stand nor walk. At first I couldn't believe it until Dane told me about it.
What kind of man was Dane fighting back then ?.
Originally today I wanted to watch her again but remembering what Mother said earlier made me today, wanting to tell her.
“Pa..morning Jaka..” I said nervously.
Shit... Why use nervous everything anyway ?.
Though all I met was the geeky Jaka you know…
Jaka turned back towards me and surprised me because he let out tears.
“Mi... ko..” said slowly.
“Hiks... This novel is very moving anyway ?. especially this woman hiks.....” this woman hiks.. he continued who was moved because of her novel.
I hit him on the head in annoyance.
“basar makes me upset when it is still morning. Don't worry me dong make no mood aja” reply me to him.
“Auck.. auck ? you're worried ?” ask Jaka to me.
“Heh ?. You worried about him ?” ask Dane too.
“Kok can be ?” ask Sanjaya who suddenly came.
Because of the pain, I hit the heads of the three of them.
“TERSERAAAHH !!!!” my snapping.
“when I just came you” reply Sanjaya who rubbed her head.
... ****...
After the lesson ended, I, Dane, and Sanjaya ate meatballs together in the cafeteria. While waiting for the meatball, Dane asked me.
“kamu why the hell Miko this morning ?. make worry aja you” ask me.
“Pms kali” reply Sanjaya short.
His words made me almost stab him with a fork.
“said what was beb ?” ask her.
“I'm sorry..” reply Sanjaya fear.
“but, you do not call people carelessly with the word Beb dong. Though just last week you rejected her love Dane” continued Sanjaya reprimanded me.
It made me realize, from the beginning Dane really liked me because we were always together as delinquents but, from the beginning I did not have that feeling to him. Because after knowing my first love was this close to our distance, I couldn't give up. With a heavy heart, I rejected her feelings.
“I'm sorry.” I said to him.
“it's okay Miko. If you can't be your girlfriend, at least we're best friends, right?” ask Dane to me.
I replied with a smile and nodded my head.
After going to the cafeteria, I saw Jaka sitting down reading a book holding the Rosary even though he was Muslim. And from whatever angle I know it, it must be a gift from Cahya. It makes me jealous and even more angry.
In the afternoon, I went home to walk because Dane had gone home earlier because he did not have extracurricular classes while Sanjaya was still busy with his Osisnya. So, I went home alone. I reflected on myself after doing something rude to Cahya and knowing that Jaka was my first love, was I really worth talking to her?. Of course not a delinquent like me, it was impossible to talk to her.
“AWAS DANGER !!!” snapped at a man who directly pulled me from behind.
“YOU ARE CRAZY YES !!?. THE LIGHTS ARE GREEN FOR RIDERS YOU KNOW !!!” snapped the man who turned out to be Jaka.
Shit turns out to be creepy too he snapped…
Is this evek after he slapped me that day…
“at least don't daydream while walking. If you have an accident, Dane and Sanjaya can be sad you” reply and want to leave me.
But that day I realized, this was a chance I could talk to him....
“Tu.. wait for Jaka..” I said while holding his bag.
“ada what ?” askinya.
“I want to talk to you alone. Do you have time ?”
He was silent for a moment and turned to look at me.
“Luckily today it's my turn to cook and buy groceries. Could. So, let's go to the park talking” replied with a smile.
This guy, even though I made him hate me....
But he can still smile very sincerely at me like that....
In the garden, I sat waiting for him who apparently bought me a drink.
“nih drink so that your feelings can be calm first” he told me.
“thank you..”.
We both drank the drink together and didn't talk to each other.
Yaiyalah Kimk!!!. You think talking is easy ?*
Which one I want to talk to is it again….
Aduuhhh pusii….
“So, what do you want to talk to me about?” askinya.
“Eh. a. anu... the..” reply me nervous.
SIAAALLLL !!!!. HE STARTED TALKING TO ME... !!!!!
AAAAAKKH.... !!!!
“that's what?”
I stood up and bowed my head to him.
“I'm sorry. That day, I made Cahya bad without knowing the truth and I realized, I made a mistake”
“haaa.. That's okay. It's also late. I even apologized to Cahya from you even though you didn't ask”
“heh ?. Why ?”
“because at that time you were jealous right?. You like Sanjaya right?. It's only natural that you do anything for Love. As Ilyas said at the time, Everything is fair in Love and War”
His words made me a little calm. That way, I have a chance to talk to him.
“so, how is your relationship with Sanjaya?. I see you guys last even though there is an issue that says Dane shot you and au rejected him”
“about Dane it is a fact of you”
“heh serialusan ?. So Sanjaya ?”
“i also no longer love him”
“heh ?. changed you kok excessive what is it ?”
I took a heavy breath and said...
“because I've found my first love that I've been looking for”
Today, I won't back down…..
I'll tell him everything….
I sat down next to him and talked to him.
“I remember that wound on your chest. You saved a girl from a fire, didn't you. Why ?”
"whether you're talking about that but we're both here and I'll tell you" Jaka said.
Jaka exhaled heavily and was silent for a moment before telling it.
“that day, I accompanied my mother and father who sold in the market and during the fire, my mother and father ran around without knowing I was sleeping in his character. When I woke up, I realized the fire had already happened so I ran to find the exit. Arriving in the middle of the market, I heard women asking for help.I did not want to help at first but I thought, what if no one helped the girl so. Even if the impact when he was almost hit by fire wood, I helped him and made my chest burn” said Jaka who spoke long-winded.
“i am still surprised by your rambling style using just one breath, great you” reply me to him.
“many say so..”
After Jaka told me about it, I was silent for a moment and was very happy that he was the one. I shed tears until I was surprised.
“what's Miko ?. Why cry ?”
“basic stupid and insensitive man, whereas before I gave you the code until now even you do not realize it” replied me while wiping my tears.
“The girl you helped back then, I'm Jaka..”.
Jaka looked so shocked and surprised that he could hardly believe what I said.
“you.. lied right ?” askinya.
“do I have to pretend to cry to lie to you ?. I am a delinquent you” reply me to him.
Ahhh…. Feels grand….
The thing that has been weighing on me all this time, I can finally reveal….
