The Night After You

CH - 35: The Storm Hugged Us

Arriving at school, now Sanda and Sena are in the school parking lot.

"Let's go to that library now" Sena said

"Come on." said Sanda

Sanda started to start the engine.

"Nih, the helmet." said Sanda while giving it to Sena

Sena took the helmet given by Sanda and started wearing it.

Soon after, Sanda started riding his motorcycle, followed by Sena, then they both headed straight to the old library in the city center.

On a long journey, the two of them talked to each other.

"Yesterday I really don't remember why I could have left it there. When we left, I just stood up from my seat, forgetting that your little notebook was on my desk" Sena said

"Sama, I don't remember either." replied Sanda

"I'm sorry, Sanda. Because I forgot, to the point of having to trouble yourself like this" said Sena

"Stop saying that, Sena. I'm tired of hearing it. I've said a thousand times, you don't bother me." said Sanda

On the way to the city center, do not know what happened, the weather that was hot, now began to cloud.

"Oh my goodness, Sanda. The day suddenly became cloudy, I think before reaching the old library, we were already rained first" said Sena

Sanda began to look up at the sky.

"Yes, maybe" said Sanda

"If it rains, will you take shelter or continue the journey?" ask Sanda

"Shake it, we're wearing school clothes, Sanda. Afraid it will get dirty, tomorrow still wear this shirt because." replied Sena

"Well" said Sanda

Shortly after their conversation, they were both at a red light. The speck of rain began to fall, Sena who wanted to make sure it was raining or not began to stretch out her palm.

"Sanda, it's getting spotted" Sena told Sanda

"Yes, it looks like we have to find shelter after this red light" Sanda told Sena

When the red light began to turn green, the rain that had been spotted was now starting to become heavy. Sanda immediately quickly drove his motorbike towards the shelter, they found an empty shophouse not far from the red light to shelter in front of him.

Now, Sanda and Sena are trapped in front of the shophouse with the rain falling.

A few minutes later, the universe did not show that it would stop dropping water on the earth. The sky was still very dark and the rain was getting heavier and even the wind was blowing harder.

Sena who was next to Sanda also looked cold despite using a large hoodie.

Sanda who saw Sena cold was immediately grasping Sena's hand.

"Cold?" ask Sanda while looking towards Sena

"Yes, the rain is getting heavier, the wind is also strong, I'm afraid" said Sena

Shortly from Sena's words, suddenly some leaves that were in the trees near the shophouse began to fall. Reflex, Sena immediately grasped tightly Sanda's hand.

"Sanda, I'm scared" said Sena

"It's okay, Sena. Everything is fine." said Sanda while hugging Sena

The two of them remained silent in front of the shophouse because they were caught in the rain. The rain was so heavy that it could knock down the branches of the trees that were in front of them. No less terrible also with a very strong lightning voice. Adding to the moment of the day became quite terrible for Sena, but Sanda just as usual faced it.

Sena continued to hold Sanda in her fear.

"It's still cold?" ask Sanda

"It's not so." said Sena

"It doesn't seem like it's regular rain, Sena. Maybe it's a storm" Sanda said again

"If it's true, how are we, Sanda?" ask Sena

"Hows it? What's?" ask Sanda again

"Well, if it's a storm, how do we get out of here? If we are both doing everything." said Sena not finished, lightning also spoke to the earth other than Sena who was talking to Sanda.

"Aaa.." said Sena, hugging Sanda more and more now

Sena who saw ordinary Sanda also began to ask.

"Aren't you afraid?" ask Sena to Sanda

"What am I afraid of, Sena?" ask Sanda back

"The driver was so loud, Sanda. Why don't you mumble?" ask Sena

"Nothing terrible, Sena. Let alone lightning, even a storm I don't care." replied Sanda

Sena was silent, hearing Sanda's words just now.

"I've had the most painful storm of my life, why am I afraid again. Anyway, if I'm afraid, who will keep you here" Sanda said

"Quiet, my dear. You don't need to remember the storm that has passed. There I am here, you will go further than the storm with me." Sena said in Sanda's arms

Sanda just kept quiet, and smiled.

"Everything is fine" Sena said back

"Yes, honey. All storms must pass, including this storm" said Sanda

*From Sanda's Mother's side

Sanda's mother is now in front of the tv, she is watching the news. In the news, Ibu Sanda heard the news that today there was a storm that came suddenly in the city center. Sanda's mother, who was watching the news, suddenly felt something bad in her heart.

"Why after hearing this news, am I feeling a little bad?" said Mother Sanda's heart wondering

Shortly after, Mother Sanda was approached by Salisa and the frightened Sky when she heard a rumbling sound.

"Mother, the rain is very heavy and the wind is strong" said Sky as he ran towards his mother

"Yes, Mom. The rain is not as usual" said Salisa following the sky that was running towards his mother

"Lock the front door and check your brother's window, Salisa. If it is open, the key is also." said Salisa's mother to Salisa

"Yes, ma'am" Salisa said as she immediately worked on what her mother ordered

Shortly thereafter, only then did Mother Sanda realize.

"Jeez, Sanda." said Sanda's mother

The sky that was now hugging his mother began to ask innocently.

"Why, Mom?" ask Sky to His Mother

Mother did not answer the question of the sky, she immediately called back Salisa who just wanted to do the order she said just now.

"Salisa" said Mother a little screamed, because of the very heavy rain

"Why, Mom?" ask Salisa while stopping her footsteps

"Call your brother now, ask him where" she told Salisa

*From Sanda and Sena's side

"Sanda, I'm so scared" said Sena because the atmosphere is getting tense, the rain is very heavy and the wind is still blowing hard

"As long as you're with me, what to fear, baby." said Sanda to calm Sena down
