THE STONE THAT LOVES

Go away suddenly

Me and my two friends are walking towards class because the last subjects are about to begin.

While in class Aditya came to my desk and sat in front of him

"Beeel, I'll take you home later, all I want to go to my friend's place so we are in the same direction" said Aditya

"I can't be Dit, there's been a promise to you" I lied back

"FATIH?" ask him with ketus

"Huh?, isn't it" I replied astonished at Aditya's question

"Beel, I'm your friend too, I don't want to know when we go home!" pushy

There was no reply from me, I just kept silent disregarding Fatih's childlike babble.

"Did Adit know what happened in the cafeteria?" ask in my heart

"Good day kids" said Mr. Tedy,

Mr. Tedy is a Geography Teacher

"Good day sir"

Mr. Tedy's voice shocked my daydream.

"Today we go home quickly yes, I will only give you a grid for the Semester Final Examination which will take place next week" said Mr. Tedy explained

Time goes by so quickly without greeting and remembering. Didn't feel like I was gonna step into 3rd grade High School.

After I finished writing the grid, I immediately packed up so as not to miss public transportation like that time, because I knew Abi would not pick me up.

When it reached the front gate of the school it was Fatih there.

"Hey, how is this, where there are so many children here" I began to worry

I tried to avoid hiding behind the crowd of students who were waiting for the transport. But suddenly the sound of the motor from behind stopped right beside me.

"Come on Beel, get on" Aditya asked

What kind of situation is this, if I had wings I would like to fly without anyone seeing. All I thought about was that I just didn't want any unpleasant gossip to be heard by my ears.

"Well, no need to Dit, I have a promise with him, I take the transportation only" I refused reply

"Yaudah come on, I anterin to your friend, remember Beeel, you rejected me just because of friendship status and now I invite you as a friend" Aditya reminded

I also had no choice, on the other hand I was not good with Ka Fatih. But even more unpleasant with Aditya who was willing to berapang chest accept and appreciate my decision at that time, without any hatred.

I also decided to come with Aditya, I don't know I just don't want to linger in a ridiculous state.

When Aditya and I passed Fatih, I realized that she was looking at me and Aditya, but I tried to ignore her. I focused on looking ahead of the road.

"Would you like to see you where Beel is?" ask Aditya

"Not Dit, tomorrow"

"That means I'll drive you home?"

"Yes Dit"

When I was at the intersection of my school road, I suddenly saw Abi.

"Mas Abiiiii?" I screamed loudly

But Abi did not turn his head, he remained focused on riding his motorcycle

"Maybe Mas Abi wants to pick me up" I thought

"Why Beeel?" tanya Aditya immediately stopped the speed of the motor

"Well, no papa Dit, just go ahead"

On the way I was still thinking about Abi, I was afraid that he would wait for me in front of the school gate.

I started to imagine her flat face when I was upset, especially I haven't apologized for last night's troubles and now I'm making her even more angry.

Aditya drove me in front of the alley into my house.

I immediately walked to the house, not until 10 minutes I reached home and immediately took my phone, trying to contact Abi, telling me that I was home.

"Aaaaaaaah, stupid! I don't have Mas Abi's number" I muttered with my head a few times

I waited for him in the yard, about an hour Abi came to park his bike. I approached him and said.

"Sorry, I don't know if I'm going to pick me up"

"Pick up? no, Mas did not pick up Abeel" he replied calmly

"So I saw Mas going to my school on the street"

"Mas abis to ATM cash withdrawal" he explained

It felt so embarrassed because I was so confident that Abi picked me up at school.

I immediately went to the house and rushed to take a shower.

When I was in the bathroom, I still could not believe that Abi only went to the ATM, because I saw him in the direction of my school and I knew there was no ATM machine around.

After the shower I went straight to the room, I felt like my body was tired today.

I lay down for a while and fell asleep.

\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

...The sound of the crowing chicken woke my morning...

Sunday was the day I was lazing around, unlike the usual day that was busy with going around preparing breakfast and taking care of my sister who had entered elementary school.

I'm out of the room, so quiet. I saw every corner of the room I couldn't find Abi.

"Maybe Mas Abi is still sleeping" I thought

By noon I started cooking and doing homework.

After everything was done, I sat down to relax in front of the TV to straighten my body which seemed to want to be broken because of my thin body.

"Tumben, it's noon Mas Abi hasn't woken up yet" I muttered in my heart

I tried knocking on her bedroom door so she would wake up and have breakfast as it was near noon. But there was no answer, I ventured to open the door of his room and it turned out that there was no abi there.

I went out of the yard and walked towards her parents' house project which happened to be not far from my place. But still nothing, there are only project employees who are working.

I went back home and asked my grandmother

"Sir, ko Mas Abi doesn't exist?"

"Go back to Jakarta semalem ndo" replied the grandmother who was sitting sorting tea leaves that she had roasted

"Looh, ko Abeel doesn't know Nek, why don't you wake up Abeel Nek?" I was a little disappointed

"Where would you wake up ndooo, your room people are locked, shoved too. You are sleeping when you are already rich in kebo" replied Grandma explained.

I felt like I wanted to cry for some reason and what it had to do with this situation.

I feel like I'm back in the days when I lost my father with no news and all of a sudden.

I stood up and walked towards the room, I locked myself in the room.

As far as I know myself, my heart is hurting when I am nobody.

"Perhaps, the quarrel with her lover behind Mas Abi had to go home to Jakarta very suddenly, even saying goodbye to me is not" said I

The tightness in the chest seemed to try to hit and break the defense that had been solid, but this time I was weak at once by letting the pain flow just like that.

I also tried to eliminate the burden of my mind by reading a book, for a moment I intended to clean up Abi's room, because it looked like it was still a mess. Maybe because he left suddenly.

I went into his room, the smell of his perfume really made him here, near me. I remember our togetherness that was like brothers even with a short period of 6 months.

I walked up to her little table, I opened the drawer maybe there was something left behind.

I was surprised to find an HVS paper with a woman, painted very simply using a colorless pencil.
