The Night After You

CH - 10: End of Afternoon

Sena looked towards the man.

"Yes," Sena replied with a little jutek

"Want me to take you?" ask the man to Sena

"No, no need, soon Mama also arrived," replied Sena

"Maybe your mom is having some business, she probably won't pick you up today" the man told Sena

"No, if indeed Mama had business from morning she told me," replied Sena

*From Sanda's side

He who was walking towards the exit of the school gate, suddenly looked in the direction where Sena was standing with a man whose posture was quite high, if Sena was just that guy.

Sanda walked over and looked towards the two of them with a little talk from within his heart.

"Oh, is that Sena's lover?" said Sanda's mind while continuing to walk through Sena

*From Sena's side

Sena who was talking to the man was a little distracted when she saw Sanda walking past her.

"It's okay, let me take you home, come on," the man told Sena

Sena ignored the man's words and called Sanda.

"Sanda!" sena shouted to Sanda who had just passed in front of her

Sanda paused from his steps and looked towards Sena.

"Sorry Tomi, I think I have a little business, I go first" Sena told a man named Tomi

"But Se.." not yet finished Tomi speaking, Sena immediately went over from her side

Sena ran over to Sanda and pulled Sanda's hand.

"Let's hurry" said Sena as she walked and pulled Sanda's hand in a hurry

"Why?" ask Sanda to Sena

"It's okay, we'll just go, get away from the man" Sena told Sanda

"Yes but why? Is he bothering you?" ask Sanda to Sena

"No, not that, let me explain later, let's get away from him first" Sena told Sanda

Then they both walked quite far from the school, and Sena managed to get away from the man named Tomi.

In the middle of the journey.

"Where are we going?" ask Sanda to Sena

Sena, who was a little tired from walking far enough from school, decided to stop.

"I don't know either" Sena told Sanda

Without Sena realizing it, from earlier he was holding Sanda's hand along the way.

"Can you please get out of here, right?" said Sanda to tell Sena

Sena who had just realized immediately released her grip from Sanda's hand.

"Sorry" Sena told Sanda

Sanda just kept quiet.

Sena turned her body and looked towards Sanda.

"Why?" ask Sanda to Sena

"It's okay" Sena replied to Sanda

"I'm a little tired" said Sena as she slightly sighed

"You're not used to long roads?" ask Sanda to Sena

"Yes, not used to it" Sena told Sanda

"Follow me, take a deep breath" Sanda said as she demonstrated in front of Sena

"Down slowly," Sanda said to Sena while throwing his breath away

Sena followed Sanda's orders.

Incidentally, near where the two of them stood, there was a small stall selling drinks and snacks.

"Let's sit in the shop first to rest" Sanda told Sena then he walked

"Yes" Sena replied as she followed Sanda's steps

Arriving in front of the stall, Sanda spoke to the mothers of the guard of the stall.

"Excuse me, Mum. Mineral water 1," said Sanda

Then the mother delivered her drink to Sanda, and Sanda paid for the drink.

"Thank you, just take the change, ma'am," said Sanda

"Thank you, son," the shopkeeper's mother replied to Sanda

Sanda walked towards Sena who was sitting in a chair by regulating her breathing.

"It's a drink" Sanda said as he gave the bottle to Sena

"I can't unscrew the bottle" Sena told Sanda

"Oh, fine, please" replied Sanda as she opened the bottle

"Nih," said Sanda while giving the mineral water to Sena

"Thank you" Sena told Sanda

Sena also drank mineral water given by Sanda to him.

"Just calm down, you're okay" Sanda told Sena

Sena also calmed herself down.

"Who is that guy? Your lover? Or an ex-lover?" ask Sanda to Sena

"No," Sena replied to Sanda

"Whose league?" ask Sanda

"So long ago, he wanted to get close to me in the 2nd grade of High School yesterday, but I didn't want to, I didn't want to have a girlfriend first, I just wanted to focus on school" Sena told Sanda

"Oh, why did you take me away from him so quickly?" ask Sanda

"Because he forced me to go home with him, I didn't want to" Sena replied

"Forced how?" ask Sanda

"She said that my mom couldn't pick me up, but if she couldn't pick me up she would have told me this morning" Sena said

"Did she know your mom?" ask Sanda

"Yes, he knows" said Sena

"Oh" answered Sanda

"He used to drive me home, so I had to" Sena said

"Forced because?" ask Sanda

"Because it was a rainy day, and it just so happened that my mother suddenly had some business that she could not leave, so indeed Mama could not pick me up, I wanted to go home to the ojek also could not, nor could she, because it's a rainy day. Finally he came, and yes, inevitably I had to go with him" Sena replied

"Oh" said Sanda

A long time passed, the two of them became quite a story in the stall, with a bottle of mineral water and the afternoon turning into the afternoon.

"So, that's your lover?" ask Sena to Sanda

"Who?" ask Sanda to Sena

"That's inside the library" said Sena

"No," said Sanda

Shortly thereafter.

"So soon, you know where you're from?" ask Sanda to Sena

Sena was also upset with her, why should she ask Sanda that, obviously earlier she was secretly watching Sanda from the front door of the library.

"Oh Sena, what are you doing" said Sena

"Huh? No, I know from my friend" Sena told Sanda

Sanda became astonished, yet Sanda had time to ask back, Sena immediately cut off his words.

"Let's go home" Sena told Sanda

"Oh yes, I forgot, maybe your mother had been waiting since before the gate" Sanda told Sena

"Yes, therefore, I also forget that time has passed long enough," Sena told Sanda

Then they walked together, heading back to the school. Sanda drove Sena back to the school.

"Like her I didn't see your Mama's car" Sanda said

"Ah, it looks like she's home, she must think I'm going with my friend" Sena said

"It's okay, I just ride the motorcycle," said Sena again

"Would I take you home?" ask Sanda to Sena
