The Shah of First Love

MY DAD'S IN JAIL

On the other hand, Amarendra continued to search around every corner of the school that Kani often visited. Even though the library was at rest, the girl never showed up. Didn't he go to school? The answer he gets at school hours, seeing Kani leave in a hurry to avoid him.

“That's so bad he,” said Amarendra in his heart, there's no way he's chasing, knowing very well Kani is stubborn and silent is a way to give peace. Maybe a day and two, Kani will come back and get her close. But in fact until one week passed, the girl completely avoided it. Pretending not to see when he was around, pretending to be deaf as he called out. Like this Monday morning, Kani still ignored him. Amarendra touched his chest, why does it hurt so much?

“You have a storm?” Raihan who realized the turmoil on his friend's face asked.  

Amarendra just kept quiet, lazily replied.

During the break, Kani who was sitting with her friends occasionally glanced at Amarendra who was playing Volleyball. Amarendra was consciously noticed but he pretended to be unconscious. Kani pouted and seeing how flirtatious Bela kept docking and looking for Amarendra's attention, they played into one team. Kani lowered her head and Amarendra stared, switching, staring again until the two met and Amarendra dyed his eyes until it made Kani so sad.

Amarendra rolled his sleeves up to his shoulders while glancing over to where Kani was sitting but the girl had already vanished out of nowhere.

“Maren!” exclaimed his friends and Amarendra did not want to play anymore.

“Bel, come.” Raihan yelled and Bela was also lazy continued, he was tired and chose to sit down.

While Kani, she's at the Library. Looking through the book and taking one, he opened it, got annoyed and put it back.

“It's been satisfied to ignore me?” The voice made Kani surprised and staggered back to see Amarendra was already next to her. Kani glares and dodges, Amarendra follows wherever the girl goes and Kani stops when she finds a book with a title that catches her eye but is captured by Amarendra.

“The idea is not very interesting.” Amarendra looked tense because he knew what it was. He put the top one and Kani the manyun. “I want to talk.”

“I'm busy.” Kani looks for another book and Amarendra smiles.

“Why is everything blocked, really don't want me to bother?” whispers and Kani hisses.

“If not, later I can not bear to contact you, many ask, not obviously you do not like,” he replied sniffly, about to pass but Amarendra held back by stretching his hands until Kani's stomach hit his arm. “Surge.”

Kani blinked her eyes many times as Amarendra's face approached. Amarendra was silent, just staring, then he grabbed and pulled the girl's arm. Take him to the back of school.

Kani folds both hands in front of the chest, Amarendra next to her looks straight ahead with both hands going into her pants pocket.

“I went to Jakarta that day to see my father,” he said start.

“OK,” short Kani doesn't care.

“My father is in jail!” amarendra held back the steps of the girl who was about to leave him. Kani sculpted and Amarendra lowered his head when he heard the sound of footsteps pointing at them. Did they hear her words just now?

Amarendra told me everything, his family had a guaranteed life because his father had a very good job. Trusted as CEO in a large company in Jakarta. However, his relationship with the father never got along, especially after he knew the Mother continued to be betrayed, asking the Mother to surrender but the Mother never wanted to, he said, not out of love but her mother reluctantly makes the lives of her children more difficult than the hardships she accepts her husband's betrayal. Amarendra is only close to his mother, his relationship with his married brother was bland for a long time because they rarely met and rarely communicated.

His father was involved in a bizarre case of corruption and sexual abuse, prosecuted by many parties, forcibly removed from office, reportedly also until their lives changed drastically. From being prosperous to feeling all the difficulties of living in the capital of Jakarta that is not easy.

“I can't even afford school fees, changing schools many times, those who know who you don't want to hang out with me, Mother and sister feel the same way. Our lives changed, a year too late, moved there moved here, no one wanted to accommodate, who claimed the family only came when we were happy. When we are difficult, asking for a loan just to eat is not given. My mother got a job after being in debt to a loan shark, I was sent here. Everything is not easy until now, Mother to have to stay afloat even though at work often get insults from friends even Boss.”

The young man's eyes were wet. Kani looks down embarrassed to hear all the suffering of her friend that she does not know and she is just busy thinking about her life that feels the hardest.

The clear circle fell on his cheeks, Amarendra quickly rubbed him in panic. Don't want to look weak in front of Kani. Kani approached and patted her shoulders gently.

“Why can you swallow all the pain alone and coupled with all the complaints from me. I never asked and you never want to tell me,” Kani said hoarsely, she was so sad that her tears fell.

“I don't want to be a place to fight each other misery, I want to be the only one where you back.”

Kani further bent her face deeply, Amarendra lowered his head to look at that face. He deliberately stroked the girl's cheek with the back of his hand, wiping away the tears there.

“I was always afraid to tell stories to those who just knew me, because I had talked a lot before, hoping to get support but in fact I was shunned. My friends here, just know I'm here, don't need me anywhere else as the son of a criminal. To you moreover, I don't want to say anything, just you talk and I will listen to everything so that you stay with me.”

Amarendra smiled broadly as Kani looked at him. The girl shook her head, promising, never to leave her and Amarendra kept it first even though he never made a promise.

“Sorry, my childish attitude,” Kani whispered.

“Sorry also because that day I yelled at you, you were just curious and worried, but I was dizzy and confused. I won't do that again, showing my anger.”.

“I was fishing, it was my fault.” Kani hooked up quickly and did not want Amarendra to blame himself.

The two were at peace again and did not want this to happen again, Kani will keep what she hears and Amarendra sculpts another promise in her heart for the little girl next to her who now rests her head on her shoulder.

Both of them stepped up after realizing the break time would be over. Amarendra turned his head as his hand was pulled.

“Bu Sri is an amazing woman and she managed to educate you well, tell her I love her and send my greetings to your Mother as well.” Kani smiled and Amarendra was wide-eyed.

“Do not ask for such a thing, I am confused to say it later. Kani!” Amarendra runs because Kani runs to avoid him.

“Just you have to say, that's amanah.” Kani kept laughing and it was far away. Amarendra smiled sweetly and he would not say what Kani asked, unfortunately he, where the mother was happy to mock him.
