The Winged Angel

72. Tiara Request.

Sleepiness does not attack, even though the time has shown at 12 pm. The events at the festival continued to unfold in my head. I smile every now and then when I think of the time we ran away from being caught kissing on the bridge.

After that, we decided to go home. Good thing I got home grandma wasn't angry because I came home last night.

Besides, I can't sleep because I'm thinking about Sarah. I sent him a message earlier, but it hasn't been answered yet. My phone didn't answer either.

"Hopefully he was angry not because of me" I muttered again trying to close my eyes.

The next day, the,

Sarah hasn't come yet, by the time I get to school. He's not usually late. The bell has rung, but Sarah hasn't shown her nose.

"Didn't he come in, huh,?"

I reached into the phone in my pocket, and tried to reach him. Just as the connecting tone is connected, Sarah appears at the classroom door. His breath seemed breathless .I kept my phone back.

"Almost I'm punished" he complained after sitting on the bench.

"Tumben, late,?"my many.

"Yes, I slept late last night" Sarah answered, taking out her book and stationery.

"If you sleep late why don't you return my message, I think you go to bed early" my protest.

Sarah grins. He formed the letter V with his finger.

"I've been playing games all night until I forgot the time" he said.

I hissed, pinching his arm in anxiety.

"Au," Sarah grimaced.

"I think you know, I think you're angry about what happened at the festival yesterday,"

"Geez, Dea, I told you, it's not because of you,"

"Then why, then,? Seriously I'm curious, why do you guys fight, dong stories" I stared expectantly. But Sarah just smiled back.

"Ih, sorry," I sulked.

"Later on"Sarah pointed with her chin towards the door. The math teacher just got into class. 

I snorted in annoyance, it seemed like I was going to die of curiosity waiting for Sarah to tell me what happened yesterday.

When the break came, I forced Sarah to tell a story.

"Just tell me what happened yesterday,"

"Why are you so curious when it's not such a big thing" Sarah replied.

"Just tell me what happened between you and Rey" I stared intently at Sarah.

"All right, but we shouldn't go to the cafeteria first. Aren't you hungry,?"

I shook my head, my curiosity was greater than hunger. Sarah flicked her lips, then she let out a heavy sigh.

"Actually, it's just a trivial matter. Yesterday we had a bet, the boat of choice who lost then he had to pay fifty thousand. And the choice I lost"So much paused the story, he looked at me.

"Why are you angry with him, then,?"my question is not to understand.

"Because he sucks, he keeps laughing at me. It felt like it had fallen down the stairs, it had been stolen money, I was also ridiculed - the same mockery of Rey," said Sarah membu - gebu.

I gawked in disbelief, just such a simple matter as why they had to fight.

"Well, is Rey like that, huh,?"I just can't believe it.

"I'm hungry, let's go to the cafeteria,"

Sarah and I went to the cafeteria. Coincidentally we met Rey and Dion who had already arrived at the cafeteria. As soon as I saw Rey, Sarah immediately threw away her face.

"We'll just sit there" Sarah asked avoiding eating at the same table as Rey.

Dion seemed to elbow Rey's arm, Rey lazily got up from her seat then approached us who had just been sitting at a table not far from them.

" Sarah," said Rey.

"Gue's sorry about yesterday" Rey said. Sarah flinching. 

"Now, I give you back the money,"Rey put the money on the table.

Sarah glanced at Rey sharply.

"Gue won't, take it again,"Sarah brushed off the money in front of her.

Rey snorted, then he took the money back and put it in his pocket.

"Gue is sorry, I also intend to give back your money. But you don't want to, so what do I have to do again,?"said Rey.

"Apologies you're not sincere,"push Sarah.

Rey rolled her lazy eyeballs. Suddenly, he was wrapped beside the table.

" I'm supposed to get down on my knees and apologize,"

Rey's action made many eyes look at us. Sarah's eyes are round. 

Rey scratched her head, then she got back up. Rey stretched out her hand.

"Gue's really sorry. Yesterday I was too much of a lo," Rey said, really.

Sarah looked at me, I nodded asking Sarah to forgive Rey and no longer prolong that trivial matter.

"Yes, I'm sorry I said you're a pussy, too" Sarah said, shaking Rey's hand.

"Udah sorted out the problem, meaning we can join," said Dion, who arrived - suddenly sat next to me.

Sarah and Rey just took a breath. Sarah shifts her seat to give Rey some space.

"Not good to fight, not to fall in love with new tau tasa,"ledek Dion.

Hearing that, Sarah and Rey growl together. I chuckled, Dion smiled stiffly as he got sharp glances from the two people.

Sarah and Rey don't talk much, it looks like they're still awkward. We continued eating in the cafeteria with occasional light jokes.

After eating in the cafeteria, we split up and returned to our classes.

"Dea, man,"

Someone called me, I stopped my steps and looked over. Tiara gave a stiff smile, standing alone near the pedestal. Apparently he's back in school. But where are his friends, is he excommunicated.

"Hi Tiara," I replied awkwardly.

"Can I talk to you for a second,?"tiara hesitated.

"What business do you have with Dea" Sarah said.

I glared sharply at Sarah.

" Sarah, you go to class first. I want to talk to him first" I said.

" Oh, you're careful. Such a person would not just change" Sarah replied with a look of resentment at Tiara. Tiara just put on a flat face.

Sarah was gone, but Tiara was still silent. I don't know what he's gonna say.

"What are you talking about, then,?" ask me first.

Tiara looked at me, then she took out something from the pocket of the blazer she was wearing. I was surprised to see my old phone in Tiara's hands.

" Why is this,_" I'm stifled.

"I'm sorry, that time your phone fell on my car, but I deliberately didn't return it to you. I'm really sorry," said Tiara bowed.

I took the phone out of his hand, and I didn't see it wrong. That's my lost phone.

" Sorry again,"

I don't know what to answer. I took a long breath. Tiara was still standing in front of me with her head down. He squeezed his fingers. Should I be angry, then,? But seeing it like this I don't have the heart either.

"I don't need this phone anymore either. This phone is also not worth using," I replied.

Only then did Tiara lift her face. He smiled bitterly. 

" When did you get to school,?"ask me to shift the subject.

" It's just today,"

"Hem,"

A moment later a long silence occurred. We stood there without saying anything. I was also confused what else to say. We are not close friends who usually exchange stories. It used to be before the truth was revealed it was very easy for me to talk to Tiara. Every time we met, we fought. But right now it feels very different.

"If so, I'll go first" I said, ending this silence.

" Dea, do you want to be my friend,? I mean, do you want to be friends with me, huh,?"tiara said shortly after I turned around.

I'm confused, friend,? If someone else were to say that, I might quickly nod with pleasure. But this is Tiara, can we be friends after everything that happened,?

"I know I don't deserve to be your friend, but I really want to improve our relationship" Tiara said.

My heart still hesitated to turn around, but I was not as cruel as it ignored him who had tried to apologize to me. I closed my eyes for a moment, then carved a smile on my face and flipped.

" Why not, everyone makes mistakes. Let's be friends,!" I said extending a hand.

Tiara smiled widely, her eyes looking glassy. He did not welcome my hand and hugged me tightly. I flinched, what an unexpected thing.

" Thank you Dea, I'm really sorry to have done evil to you" Tiara said.

I patted - gently pat her back. And pray in your heart, may Tiara be sincere and truly sorry.

Seriate...
