The Sun Becomes a Star
Maaf
“May ..~ I heard that guy calling my name.
“May ! You know him. She calls you.” Jell
“Already, do not pay attention. Maybe he's the wrong guy. I don't know him at all!”
“That's Aaron well?” ask Trisakti.
“Not. Only arrogant rich people who fit into garbage,” I said can not stand.
“May” Aaron is back to call me. Now he stops his bike next to us.
At first glance I saw that he was still wearing his school uniform. The uniform shows that he attended one of the expensive schools in Malang whose tuition is greater than Papa's salary a month. Half-run I dragged two of my friends. Jell smiles – smiles looking at Aaron.
“He's Aaron Jell. The one who has made me hurt. He has insulted me successfully!”
“Oh, so he's the one?!” Jell held my hand until Trisakti and I stopped.
“She needs to be taught a lesson May,” from the glee I heard Jell's tone of voice turn irritated. He let go of my hand and calmly walked towards Aaron.
“Jell! What do you want?” I ran after Jell and Trisakti ran after me.
“So you're Aaron?!” Jell said sharply.
“Betul, why? I'm sure ‘the brave girl’ it's been a story – pa story that happened yesterday with you.” Aaron said while pointing at me.
“I've guessed you will spread the story to your friends – friends. What spice do you give so that your story is more interesting ?” with his light style Aaron said.
“You think all the girls in the world are gossipers huh? Don't confuse people wrongly. Even I know a guy – guy like you that likes to grow up – raise the problem. You are not polite at all, girl. People – people like you are indeed human garbage.” fire – fire Jell said.
“Tuh khan's. All girls where – anywhere is the same. Yesterday the friend you defended – bela that called me trash. Now his friend is the same. You guys do not make any difference!” This time I heard Aaron's voice start to rise. A tad.
“Sorry. I don't think you have the right to accuse that kind of thing to my friend. You already hurt her heart to such an extent yesterday. Did you come here today just to fight again?” Trisakti said in accordance with the ordinances of decency that occur in this era.
“Aaron, I no longer work for Kevin or you. Technically I'm not your employee. So you don't have any rights what – said like that to me.” I said cold. I look into his eyes sticky –.
Actually Aaron is not less cute than Kevin. And today, I feel Aaron's eyes are not the same as yesterday. Yesterday he looked ferocious and angry, but now I can say he's a little dimmer. But just a little. Looks like he's right – is really sorry. Guys with an ego as big as him, to come to see me here, surely he has lowered his prestige rate greatly. I know it's not easy for him. But that doesn't mean I'm not angry with him.
“I tell you May. I didn't come here to argue or insult each other. For me it's enough yesterday you said I was garbage.” To my knowledge, Kevin is a quiet person. I wonder why Aaron's attitude can be so different from his brother?. Aaron is very arrogant, arrogant, cold as ice as if – would not care what – is but himself.
“Then why are you here now?” I asked. I held onto Trisakti's hand and Jell grabbed my shoulder.
“I came here to apologize to you”
I took a breath in – deep. After all, yesterday's fight was enough for me. I don't want to add – anymore.
“I've forgotten it Aaron. I think you can go now.” Said lying. Somehow I can forget that kind of thing. Just remembering it makes me angry and cry.
“No, no, you don't forgive me. You are just trying to forget what happened yesterday. But you still keep the pain in your heart.” He said firmly.
“Then ?” I asked again. Can all my heartache be finished with just him apologizing to me? This guy is right – really want his own good. After he insulted me, he then apologized as if – would not happen what – what and hope all will be good – fine.
“I'm sorry.” This time his tone sounded irritated and forced.
“I said I've forgotten it. Is that not enough ?”
“You better go Aaron,” Trisakti said.
“Iya. Than I'm getting huffed at seeing your cute face,” Jell.
“You two are silent. It has absolutely nothing to do with you!” Aaron looked at Trisakti and Jell alternately in a sharp voice. Jell shrieked and Trisakti grabbed my hand.
“You're so stubborn Aaron. I told you I'd forgotten it. What is less ?” I asked annoyed. Very upset until – until I want to throw his face with my bag. Moreover, he had already dared to snap at Trisakti and Jell in front of me. Saying – says we girls as gossip creatures. I wouldn't be content to just throw him in my bag. I want to stick his head in my shoes. Again – again some children wearing white ash uniform – ash walked past us with strange eyes. But that doesn't help at all.
An angkot to my house I saw passing from the south. I wave my left hand. The freight stops, I'm riding. And as I expected, Aaron left Jell and Trisakti to follow me. That was my purpose. My HP shook again. Jell Number.
“Dead – hearts May. Looks like that guy is vicious.” Jell's Voice.
“Iya. You better stop in front of the police station. Ask one of the police to drive you home. Or take you to your Grandma's house.” Trisakti's voice sounded very worried.
“Don't worry about me. I'll be good – fine. He may follow me, but he won't dare hurt me.” I replied to calm both of them.
“Don't be sure so !” Jell's Voice.
“Hati – hearts loh ..” Voice Trisakti.
“Iya. Already do not waste – discard quota. Dear !” I said and immediately closed my HP. Aaron's still following me on his motorcycle. This kid is right – is really stubborn. But now he was facing the Sun. He wouldn't be able to easily scare me with just such a bluff. Yesterday Kevin's brother followed me. Now change his sister. Two people may have traits similar to one another. Maybe just like me and Papa who are each – equally stubborn.
