The Time That Separates

15. Don't

"Never look at me, if you don't care about me anymore!" Shouted Anisha to Ash, as Ash was staring at Anisha

and Anisha's vision faded as if Ash had disappeared from Anisha's vision. Ash fades…

Anisha had a dream about Ash, and this was her umpteenth time.

"Kh-why do I have to come to you in a dream anyway?" Anisha muttered uneasily.

Anisha's hands were scratching her head when not dizzy, so Anisha's hair became more messy and Anisha immediately went from the bed to immediately go to the bathroom.

The year-end holiday was completed, Anisha spent her vacation with Anisha's family and of course there is always time to confide in Laras. Although this year-end holiday is quite long, but somehow Anisha is not too fond of this year-end vacation because she can not spend her time with close friends Anisha like at school.

Monday has arrived. Fresh wind in the morning makes Anisha feel cold, because last night it rained very hard. Makes Anisha want to wear her favorite purple jacket to go to school.

Anisha was among her fathers to go to school, when she reached the school gate Anisha asked her father something

"Dad... go home, can Anisha go home alone?" Anisha asked trembling because she was afraid of not being allowed to go home by her father

"Yaudah, please but be careful" replied Dad

Anisha immediately kissed the father's hand and immediately went to enter his classroom. When Anisha arrived at the class, Damian, Icha, Rafael, Raven and Laras came before Anisha.

Without a stale Anisha immediately hugged Laras and hugged her tightly, it signaled Anisha missed her best friend very much.

We study subjects as usual. After feeling a long time we learn, the end of the hour break bell rang

Students and students at Anisha's school, ran to the cafeteria like they had not eaten all day. Anisha who was lazy to eat a snack was finally going to the park alone.

As in the usual day, Laras was busy chatting with Al, as well as with Icha and Damian they were constantly talking about the game, Rafael was cool eating his favorite meatballs, as well as his, Raven was talking to a female student in Anisha's class.

Anisha got up from the chair she was in and walked to the park which held many memories along with Ash.

Anisha wants to be alone for a while, her feelings get out of control when Ash approaches Anisha and stops right in front of Anisha.

Ash sits behind Anisha, leaning her body against Anisha's back

"Wristband..why not wear it?" Ash said with a sad and disappointed expression, because Anisha was seen not wearing a gift bracelet from Ash. But actually Anisha still wears the bracelet, but it is covered by her jacket.

"Why don't I wear a bracelet from you?"

"Important huh? for you?" Anisha asked as she got up from her seat, and told her in front of Ash's face.

Staring into Ash's eyes that looked like he couldn't bear to hold back his smile and wanting to take off his mask was what he always wore when in front of Anisha.

"Yes, important.."

"You're important. The bracelet was a gift from me, why don't you wear it? I'm the only one wearing it, you should be wearing it too". Ash replied while staring at Anisha, his eyes were lonely and very weak when in front of Anisha.

"Sorry, I want to go to class". Anisha said as she stepped towards her class and left Ash alone in the park

anisha's right hand was held tightly by Ash, as if Ash did not want to be left alone for the second time.

Anisha is shocked by Ash's behavior returning to what she used to be, Ash whom Anisha knows.

"Where are you going?" Ash said so many times that Anisha was silent and looked at Ash's glassy eyes, Anisha immediately approached her face with Ash's face which made them look at each other very deeply.

"I.. want to go Ash, didn't you tell me to go huh? Why are you holding me here with you now?" Said Anisha while dripping her tears which she could not bear from earlier.

"It is true, my heart says, that you are rare. Valuable from other women, different from others.you are only one."

"It's actually here, it's just me? Who wants to be with you again.."

"You won Anisha, when I left you alone you survived for yourself and didn't want to make other men your outbursts.."

"But I. have made a 7th grader girl whose own underclassman becomes a victim of impingement, a-I.."

Ash said at length and Anisha just lowered her head and did not want to see her weakened face.

"Loose? Yes, you're weak"

"Your weakness is in the mental, you are only strong in the physical but not in the mental. And if there's someone special in your eyes or in your heart, when he rips that smile off your face and hurts you. You're gonna lose her so much, aren't you?"

"….You will weaken like this in front of me. I don't like that! Give me your smile, you strong Ash!!" Said Anisha while pulling Ash's collar so that Ash was strong again, Anisha encouraged her in the way that Anisha used to do to Ash. That is pushing Ash's body to the ground, Ash did not fall at that time but he was just pushed

"That's it. Your friends seem to be worried about you, turn around and look." Anisha

it turns out that since Anisha had an argument with Ash, her friends were looking from behind. There are Alzam, Fira, Ramu, Dimas, Gilang, Kalyca, Dhika and others. Because the atmosphere was not good, Anisha decided to leave the place and immediately entered her class.

"Lu.. really, Ash, as weak as you in front of Anisha?" Ask Fira wonder

"Open, Fir." Ash answered and he went straight to his class and sat down on his chair.

While at her place Anisha..

"Crazy lu Sha! You're great, Ash's time can be that weak in front of you? How can you, what do you have his son?Haha" said Dhika

"Ck-just normal". Anisha replied briefly

The last lesson is over. It was time to go home, Anisha was suddenly patted from behind by her best friend Ash, Alfira.

"Sha, it's 2023 you have to open a new page.."

"Lupain Ash who has hurt you, you certainly can." said Alfira while inviting Anisha to talk to him

"Why Fir, he can't escape so I'm sure he's just living in my painting. She's everything to me, don't be like that." Anisha said as she left

"But Ash already has a girlfriend" Alfira shouted as she stopped Anisha from leaving while she was talking to him

"He broke up with me, didn't he? I just got the news this morning. Do you think only Ash has a spy? Don't get me wrong, I have a little, too".

"And don't ever think I still love her. That's a big mistake, I just miss him". Said Anisha who was now getting away from Alfira

"Tock.. Anisha changed drastically?. long before she knew Ash she was not like me" Alfira murmured
