The Love That Is Conferred

Chapter 37's

Melanesia

***

A bright morning on Monday, though

today is a beautiful and good day. Still, this is the day

where all students complain. I have to be ready, too, because I don't want to

late for school ceremony.

Sometimes I still think about

angga match yesterday, I hope now the feeling of his heart is already

improve. Because a few days back he had a pretty heavy thing, though,

from seeing Sapphira walking together with Rehan, Rehan stated

his feelings for Sapphira, and the last one is Angga's defeat while in

final yesterday.

I got up from the bed to

get ready. When I got up and sat down, I saw the book I Love You that was on my desk. I've read all the pages of the book

that's. The book is so good, I like it so much.

The sound of knocking on my bedroom door.

“Iyaa enter ajah,” I said.

It was my father who came in

to my room. “Huh dad? Dad hasn't left?” manya curious.

“Dad leaves later in the afternoon,” reply,

“you don't mostly in bed, take a quick shower and get ready to go to school.

Now Monday should not be late for the flag ceremony.”

“Iyaa-iyaa,” I replied in tone

little lazy.

Then I went straight from

my room after warning me. But I like that kind of dad.

I really like it. Well now is the time to get ready

most linger on the bed.

After I get ready, I've

ready for everything, now we are leaving. I went to my father, I

salim to him and go. Today it was Jeni who drove me to school, Dad

it seems a little busy. But nothing, he was like that, I

excuses him.

On the way, in my car

with Jeni, she said to me.

“Nona,” sahut Jeni, “What misses still

hope to Angga, does miss still think she will belong to miss?

Not that I meant to, but in reality Angga just thinks of miss as

ordinary friends are just like any other classmate. There is nothing special about

miss in Angga's eyes, does miss still hope for him?”

“I'm surprised you suddenly said

like that,” I said, “I don't know what else to do, I like Angga

ever since I was a kid. I still remember him even though he forgot

with me, but I'm okay. As long as I can get close to Angga, I

feel enough for it.”

“Isn't that painful, miss.”

“I believe in myself,

and also I believe in Angga.”

After that Jeni said nothing

again, he was just trying to remind Melani that approaching Angga

only futile. Jeni thought, Melani only hurt herself rather than

make himself happy.

“Huh? We got to school,” I said

looking out the car window, “Jeni then I go first ya, dadah.”

“Iyaa, continue studying diligently, miss

Melani.”

I am now leaving for

school with bicycle. Today was really bright and beautiful, really fitting

go to school on a bike on a beautiful, sunny day. Try

weather like this runs all the time, but unfortunately it is not possible.

I ride my bike casually,

enjoy the weather today. My mind is still thinking about

yesterday's game, but it was the end result. And not usually me

like this, usually if I lose the match I accept it with

roomy chest. But now it's somehow hard for me to accept the reality

that's.

I lost because I lost

in the last second, and I was lost in the round to the last three seconds.

Remembering him makes my heart feel tight. I have to take a

lessons from yesterday's match.

Unknowingly I have arrived

school, soon I go to the parking lot to park my bike.

The average in this school mostly carries a motorbike or car, very little

who carries a bicycle. Maybe it was just me who was carrying a bike.

I went from the parking lot to the

front gate. After I entered from the gate, unexpectedly I met with

Rehan's in there. Is this a coincidence we met here, he also seems new

got here, but he's not with Sapphira today.

“Yoo, Angga.”

We walked together to class. Rehan

looks ordinary, doesn't she feel bad for me because she already is

cheating on me. I know he realized that I already knew about

that's.

“Tumben once you're not together

Safira,” I said, “usually you are always together when you leave school, now

why?” ask me while walking towards class.

“I told him that I

leave first,” reply, “and I'm near the gate waiting for you, I

want to talk to you about something.”

Anything on? What Rehan wants to talk about

this time. Tumben once he, yesterday only he did not come to the place

my match. I didn't see him there at all, I just met

with Princess, Melani and also her father Melani.

“Talk something to me?”

my many.

“Iyaa,” said, “Do you know that

yesterday I came to your match? I saw your match at

sana. I also know how it turned out.”

He come over there? Seriously? I didn't

he saw him everywhere at the time, and he also knew the outcome of my match. Then

what exactly did he want to tell me? I wonder what

want him to say.

“You're coming? I don't see you the same

once yesterday,” I said.

“I'm at the end, maybe you will

it's hard to find me,” said Rehan, “but in your final match

lost by one point to your opponent, right?”

“True,” reply me, “I miss point

at the last second, then what exactly do you want to talk to me about,”

I was frontal.

“Actually I want to apologize

to you.”

Apologizing? Ehh? I was so surprised

Rehan suddenly said that. Moreover, he said it with

calm down, his face as usual. I was surprised by this, better

I pretended not to know.

“Why are you asking, aren't you

already know,” said Rehan, “I cheated yesterday. I shot

Safira first before the match we both ended, please forgive me

me, Angga. And I beg you let me be someone for Safira.”

Heh? He asked but in the same

by asking me to release Sapphira? That's right, but I am too

looking at Rehan's sincerity in apologizing, I got confused. Do I have to

release Sapphira from me?

If you remember, Rehan is the

I liked Safira first compared to me. Because he did not dare

expressing her feelings, she did not dare to approach Safira. But

the way he approached Safira was to use me, so I had to

whahuh? Do I have to release Sapphira for Rehan?

“Actually I'm confused to want

answer him,” I said, “actually I was a little annoyed with your attitude when in

the park, it turns out this is the pain when the person we like is close

with someone else. Maybe that's how you feel when I say walk together

Safira to the square, I understand it. I won't bother you guys anymore, though,

now I want to be free.”

“You're serious, Angga?” ask Rehan once

no more believing.

“Iyaa, I'm serious. Take good care

Safira, don't make him hurt because of your attitude like yesterday

against me.”

“Thank you, if you don't

need to say, I will definitely take care of him. Angga once again thank you,” Rehan

with a happy smile.

After that we continued walking towards

our classes. My problem and Rehan's are finally solved, yes even though I

it takes time to release it. Because I don't want to be hostile to Rehan

he was my best friend from first class.

When Rehan and I went in

in the classroom, little came. But I saw the Princess

sitting at his desk reading a book. And I saw Melani's bag, too,

but the guy wasn't there. Melani went where ya.

Then Rehan and I approached

The princess who was reading a book on her desk. I want to ask him where

Melanes.

“For the Princess,” greet me.

“Ohh you two anyway, what's up?” ask

Princesses.

“You know where Melani is, I just

look at the bag doang, but the guy's not here.”

“Emm, I don't know. She didn't

say anything just go straight away, what's the matter, Angga?”

ask Princess.

“No, I just want to talk

to him, then thanks yaa.”

“Iyaa equally, and you Angga don't

broken spirit yes. I know it hurt yesterday, but I

know you the person will definitely continue without stopping,” said the Princess

cheering me.

“Iyaa thank you.”

Then Rehan and I put our bags down

each one in our seats. After I put the bag I immediately left

come out to look for Melani, when I've approached the door and want to leave

out of class, Rehan called me.

“Where are you going, Angga?” tannya

curious.

“I want to find Melani bentar, I

want to talk to him,” reply me.

“Ya already then.”

After that I went out

class looking for Melani.

I went to the cafeteria to see her

there, I thought he was in the cafeteria buying something. Because Melani

sometimes forget to bring his stationery, so maybe he's in the cafeteria

buying stationery. But when I got there, he wasn't in the cafeteria.

After the cafeteria I went to the park

school, maybe he was there. I have no reason to

explain why he was there, but I'm just guessing who knows

it's true he was there. When I arrived, it turned out that he wasn't in the park. He's this

go where yaa.

I also left and went on

looking for him again, as I walked up to the IPA building I saw on the roof

building, there's someone standing looking at the sky. I'm trying to focus

to see the person there, that long black hair. It was Melani, so she's in

sana. I went straight to the top of the IPA building.

When I got to the top of my building

opening the door to go outside at the top of the IPA building, I opened it

the door and saw Melani there staring at the sky. What is this guy doing

up here, what just staring at the sky alone anyway.

“What are you doing here,

Melani?” I'm from behind him. Then Melani noticed my presence, and

look back.

“Ehh Angga?” with confused face, “aku

just being refreshing alone, while thinking of someone,” said Melani

staring Angga.

He seems to be used to me, though,

no more stuttering when I talk to you. Good so it will be easy when

talk her.

“You know why I'm here

hither? And why did you come to see me?” ask Melani curious.

“I saw you from below, I searched

you're in the cafeteria and in the park but nothing. I just want to talk to you.”

“Bi–bi–talk to me?” Melani

nervously.

“Iyaa, I want to thank you.

You calmed me down in the GOR yesterday, if it wasn't for you maybe I

now I still can't accept that defeat, so I want to thank you

to you.”

Melani's cheeks are flushed, because of Angga

say it like that. Melani gets nervous to reply to Angga's words, she so

bewildered.

“E–eh, no need to think about

that,” said Melani closed her eyes, while smiling shyly.

“From there itself, better

in class only, come to class,” I said to invite Melani, while turning around a little

direction to the back.

“Emm,” Melani nods her head

with a smiling face while running towards Angga to go to class

joint.

We went to class together from

school roof. I felt relieved after saying thank you to Melani,

he's a really good guy. “Em..Melani, anterin I canteen a minute yuk, yuk,

I forgot to bring a pen.” “You forgot to bring a pen? Yes it is ayuk.”
