The Pending Wait
Back to school
Sunday passed, without your word all felt empty, dozens of missed phone calls and messages in WhatsApp were unrequited, as if you were lost in the swallow of the earth.
Monday finally arrived, but there was no enthusiasm in the heart to move in this morning, what else to go back to school where at that time I felt embarrassed.
I walked back to counting seconds of slow time.
There is a sense of longing on this road, things merge but I usually do is count steps from school to home even though in the middle of the road I immediately forget how many steps.
Or look at Zakia who walked from behind and said inwardly you were very short and midget, and sometimes I even said what magic you used to make me crazy about you.
It does not feel like I have arrived in front of the school, it is strange, yes, when we daydream while walking sometimes will make us unconsciously reach the goal faster.
I looked back at the old school that looked worn out, the wall paint that looked faded and partly peeling.
I don't know why I feel so awkward about this school, like a new kid who's moving to a new school for the first time.
I went straight to the classroom and saw the empty room.
Traffic incident at that time, which made me expelled from this place.
"Momo has entered school" said someone from behind me suddenly arrived.
"Yoi Rizky, how are you?" my answer.
"Yoo wellcome to the jungle".
"Jungle?".
"Well, good to see you again".
We also talked in class, discussed many silly things, because Rizky has the talent of comedians, he is very hobby to make people laugh.
eka came in, and she stared at me and Rizky.
We were silent for a moment then Rizky continued his joke, gesturing for me to ignore Eka.
Eka slowly approached us and sat down near me.
I feel a little strange but I keep calm pura pura nothing happens.
Then Eka touched my shoulder and said.
"Momo sorry!".
We were silent, it felt strange.
"Why?" say me.
"Because of me you got out of school" he said again and then he cried.
"I don't think it's your fault" I replied.
"This is indeed Momo's fault" said Rizky.
"Not completely, more to Ibrahim who is too bar bar" I replied.
"So you're still mad at me" said Eka
"I'm just confused why you were crying that day".
"I'm jealous to see you leave every day with Zakia".
"Therefore**********, because that's why you're trying to get people out of school" cut Rizky again.
He seems to be very upset with Eka, even though they are neighbors.
"Here you are" I said to calm Rizky down.
But Eka started to shed her tears again like that time.
"Now why else!?" my spoken.
"I'm jealous to see you near Zakia and Selvi".
"Oh my god, why do you cry".
"You know, what a strange behavior" Rizky said.
"I was close to them, they were good friends in my opinion".
"Friends".
"Udahlah Eka, you are now his girlfriend Final, hus there far away" said Rizky.
The statement was really surprising, I did not think Final and Eka made, it means that all this time Final likes Eka.
"Congratulations" I said to Eka.
But his response was strange, he beat me up and said.
"Nice are you evil!".
"Stop!, what the hell!" said Selvi who we did not realize was already in that class.
"Go away, this is none of your business" said Eka.
"Yes, but stay away from my boyfriend" Selvi said.
As the words startled me, Rizky was shocked, Eka had a heart attack and lizard fell.
Excuse me.
"You guys dating?" ask Rizky.
"I'm confused too" I replied.
When the Final went into class, the atmosphere became a little quiet for a moment and Eka just left.
The finale looked at me cynically right in front of me.
"This seat is not yours anymore, move there".
I immediately moved out, took my bag out of the desk drawer and then I came out of the bench.
Not a word said from me at the final.
Because his face seems to change and his way of speaking that looks pretentious.
"Rizky I'm the same as you" I replied.
"So anyway, I'll kick the Fair from here" replied Rizky.
"Hahahaha, I do want to move lazily I'm near you" said Adil who also came suddenly.
And the class started to get crowded, Madi, Tirta and the others gave warm greetings when they came as well as the female students crowded into my place and Rizky just to give a warm welcome.
They are like family to me.
It feels good to be back at school and be with you.
Zakia went into the classroom, saw there was a crowd he came to see.
but after seeing me he immediately returned to his place while saying his own words.
Bell also read, the teacher came with his ledger.
Seeing me in class, he smiled and greeted me.
"Wellcome to the class Momo".
"thank you pretty lady, it's a pleasure to be in your class" I replied.
"Wow, your English is getting better".
"Ah I can only a little, this is also thanks to your guidance miss" I replied.
"Don't be tempted miss, he is playboy" Cut Zakia.
"What's? my spoken.
"Well, you seduced dede, selvia and me, now you want to seduce miss" Zakia said.
He explained that I teased Master and also teased beautiful students in this class like Selvi, Dede and herself.
But he said it in English so that other students did not understand so much,
Cunning too.
"Stop your jealousy, he is indeed my favorite student" said the English teacher who is more familiarly called Miss Berbie.
"Miss" said Zakia.
She is beautiful and sexy as Barbie.
"That's cheating" Dede said.
"well, but do you want to" Miss told Dede.
"I can't, and also I'm ashamed" said Dede.
"Well, kids, because Momo's back in we'll start this class with a song from Momo"
"I haven't told you she's Miss".
"Momo, you missed the lesson and also the school exam, this is the best way to score you".
"But".
"do you want to sing, or do you want private lessons at my house🤫🤫😋".
"terrible".
I got up from my chair and gave my phone to Selvi to record me singing, he was surprised to see I had a HP.
And stand in front of the class and start talking to Miss Barbie about the song I'm going to do.
He also played music from his small 4-sided box and the music came out in a soft tone.
People were silent and there were also those who recorded such as Dede, Irma, Madi and others.
a show...

MY LOVE'S..
An empty street, an empty house
A hole inside my heart
I'm all alone, the rooms are getting smaller
I wonder how, I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we the together
Oh, yeah
And oh, my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that sees so far
So, I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again, my love
Overseas, from coast to coast
To find a place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
My love
I try to read, I go to work
I'm laughing with my friends
But I can't stop to keep myself from thinking, oh no
I wonder how, I wonder why
I wonder where they are
The days we had, the songs we the together, oh, yeah
And oh, my love
I'm holding on forever
Reaching for the love that sees so far
So, I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you I once again, my love
Overseas, from coast to coast
To find a place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
To hold you in my arms
Promise you my love
To tell you from the heart
You're all I'm thinking of
I'm reaching for the love that sees so far
So, I say a little prayer
And hope my dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue
To see you once again, my love
Overseas, from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
(My love)
Say a little prayer (my sweet love)
Dreams will take me there
Where the skies are blue (woah, yeah)
To see you once again
Overseas, from coast to coast
To find the place I love the most
Where the fields are green
To see you once again
My love
As soon as in this song as my eyes glazed over, I kept holding her back from falling and deep down I thought of Dinda..
because again this is really appropriate for my heart right now
