Waiting Day
Chapters. 5
Only those who cycle to school while others are already on motorbike.
Three days from that day, Piah's phone rang.
“Hah? New number? Hmmm... Who is it?”, said Piah who was full of question marks in him. At first he rarely picked up the phone from a number that was unfamiliar to him, but this time? He hesitated to ignore the call.
“Assalamualaikum..”, he said slowly and his heart was so unreasonable when picking up the phone from a foreign number earlier. Heard from that direction answering his greeting. The voice was still unfamiliar to him, but he felt like he had heard such a voice. They talked for almost an hour.
Apparently, the caller was the one he had met a few days ago in the school garden. Day change day. A week so bright has been exceeded as bright as Piah when receiving a call from a stranger who no longer sing in his heart.
“Pi, as comfortable as the smile continues, what is it?”, asked Karti suspiciously aware of the change of his roommate. “Oh, it's okay Kar.. It's wrong if I'm happy?” The next night, Piah was called back by the stranger, they had a long conversation as usual. However, mini mala is so different from the usual night.
“De’ Piah, I want to tell you something, but don't get mad?
” “Iya Mas Heru, just say it, please…
God willing I will not be angry Mas”, replied Piah casually.
said Heru at length to Piah who was only silent like being struck by lightning heard a series of sweet words from the lips of people who began to enter his heart. “De’, will you be my girlfriend?”,
ask Heru later. Piah was silent. One word that never existed in the dictionary of his life, now he heard it from someone who had touched his feelings. In his heart he asked, “What should I tell him?
”. “De’, did you hear me?”, Heru's voice startled her daydream. “Iya Mas, I heard..”, then somewhat forcedly he said again, “I'm glad to know you, but sorry Mas, I can't be your girlfriend.” Hearing Piah's reply, Heru was a bit hit. “Yes already if it's ade’ decision, but please think again yes, I wait for your certainty another week”. He ended the conversation. Tears Piah dripped slowly.Unwittingly, he actually loved the figure who was still unfamiliar to him. A week. Piah said to his heart that was still somewhat doubtful about his decision just now. Day after day had passed, Piah never again received a call from his loved ones. He lived his day with a loneliness that struck the soul.
“If only I had accepted it..”, said Piah with regret.
“Receive who you mean?”, asked his friend who always wanted to know at once heard Piah say.
Piah just smiled in response to her best friend's question. They also talked. This morning was friendly. The sun shows its rays from the eastern horizon.
All the residents of the boarding school are excited to welcome this day except for a girl who appears to bend her face uninspired. The promised week is coming soon. Tomorrow is the time to be sure of his feelings. The girl still looked confused. His right hand held a forehead and then stroked slowly.
“Pi, I'm so worried about you. This week you look weird. Dunk story. Perhaps there is something I can help to ease the burden of your mind”, said Karti slowly with a tone that is quite motherly. Piah who originally did not want to tell a story, this time he could not resist his feelings. He also told about the events that he experienced since he met Heru until Heru shot him. “Hmm…
It turns out that Heru is really serious about you, yes, I guess he was just a prank when he asked for your phone number. Sorry because I did not ask permission to you first when giving your number”, explained Karti at length to the girl who was being stricken by nestapa.
