There's Mars in the Parish Heart Room

There's Mars in the Parish Heart Room
The Part 11



Marsha 15 years old ...


Marsha observes the city art school RedRose from the grocery store where she works.


The school where the students mostly come from the upper class. Office children, entrepreneurs, even artists.


They are arrogant and rude. Think Marsha originally.


He even often gets a cynical look when they come to the store to buy something. They were mocking him, hey you poor man, your shirt is shabby, crumpled and messy.


Marsha doesn't care. Because that's what he is.


But since I met him.


The lofty longhaired girl who always smiled kindly at him, Marsha's assessment of all the rich kids who attended school here was arrogant and evil changed.


The sweet girl always greeted him first. Not even hesitant to pat Marsha's shoulder gently as she was looking in amazement at the charm in front of her.


"what's the matter ?" tanyanya after patting Marsha's shoulder.


"it's okay" said Marsha nervously.


The girl shook her head.


"is there anything else you need ?" ask Marsha.


"nothing else, is enough. A bottle of mineral water, a lollipop, a pack of wet and dry wipes" she said, handing her shopping cart to Marsha.


Although this is a basic store but the breadth is like a minimarket. So they can pick up the items they need using a shopping cart that is always piled up by Marsha near the entrance of the store.


Marsha took the girl's shopping cart to the cashier's desk where this afternoon the boss Alice, the shop owner's wife was guarding.


Her husband, boss Hary, is going to pick up things. Usually Hary's boss keeps the shop early in the morning, when his wife is busy doing housework and Night until ten in the evening.


The girl followed Marsha from behind. He stopped in front of the cash register, waiting for his groceries to be counted.


"Mars ! help me" shouted boss Hary who had just arrived in his pickup car.


Marsha hurriedly ran over to her boss. Help bring down store contents that have started to run out according to his record from the car.


"be careful" boss Hary said.


"good boss" sahut Marsha.

The girl was about to pass her towards the exit while she was still lifting things up. But it can't, it's so narrow. Marsha has to drop her stuff first there's room for her to pass.


Marsha understands. He quickly dropped his things and let the girl through.


"your face is dirty" said the girl looking at him.


Marsha grabbed the tip of the shirt she was wearing, she was about to open her face. But the girl stopped his hand.


Wanna know.Marsha's heart ripples fast. The girl's hand felt soft on her skin without the shirt barrier like the time of clapping on her shoulder.


"don't use it, use a tissue" he said.


He opened the plastic and unsealed the tissue cover he just bought, took the contents of a few strands and gave them to Marsha.


Marsha took it and said thank you.


"sama-sama, I'll go first. Bye" he went to school.


"hey, don't daydream" Hary's boss patted him on the shoulder.


Marsha flinched, then continued her work.


*


"do you like that rose girl ?" asked boss Hary in the hot afternoon to throw his daydream.


Marsha.


Boss Hary called so because the girl always wore a round hat with a red rose decoration surrounding her hat circle.


"he's still Junior High" Marsha's sergeant.


"but you like it ?!" boss Hary said again, to tease him.


Marsha. Whether this was a liking or what, he obviously always wanted to look at the girl. Even from a distance, his heart was already happy.


"there's no harm to Mars, just a feeling of liking. Once you're both grown up, let's make it love" Hary's boss advises.


"yes boss" said Marsha.


"trus how's your school ?" ask boss Hary.


Although working, but Marsha is still a student of High School C. In the morning he went to school, during the day he worked at the boss Hary's shop and in the evening he worked at the Restbarr 'THE SHA' belonging to one of the rich men in this town Mr. Shane Shannon.


Mr. Shane's been helping with all his living expenses. Mr. Shane thinks of him as his own son. Because in this world, Marsha no longer has anyone. From childhood he was raised by his grandmother without knowing his parents who only left the navel to be remembered. Marsha never felt the affection of her parents. Just grandmother's affection, until a year ago her grandmother died.


Marsha is lucky to have such good people as Hary's boss and his family and Mr. Shane Shannon and his employees.


Boss Hary even asked her to stay in the store rather than live in a small hut alone, she refused. So did Mr. Shane who asked him to stay in the Restbarr mess, but he refused because he did not want to trouble too much.


"good boss" replied Marsha.


He knows what boss Hary means. Yesterday he was suspended for fighting with a neighbor's school gank. The gank master was seriously injured after a one-on-one fight with Marsha.


Marsha understands.


His school environment and work environment with Mr. Shane often face dangers that sometimes leave him bruised, injured and even bleeding. Therefore he was always careful and vigilant.


"that red rose is coming home" Hary's boss pointed to the art school with his eyes.


The sound of bells. And the voices of his students began to sound boisterous.


Marsha was happy, so she could see the girl for a while before being picked up by the driver of her family.


"may I...." Marsha hesitates to ask permission.


Boss Hary laughed.


"go away." he said, shaking his hand.


"Marsha !!!" boss Alice made Marsha stop stepping.


"yes boss" replied Marsha.


Boss Alice gives him a pocket camera. Marsha looked at the object in her hand with a clueless look.


"take the picture, I'll print it for you" boss Alice smiled.


She knew from her husband's story.


"you made Marsha unable to sleep mom with the photo" Hary told his wife.


"it is precisely I make Marsha sleep soundly because of the beautiful dreams imagined in the photos dad.." refuted his wife.


"don't listen to dad, he's just kidding" Alice smiled.


Boss Hary sticking out his tongue. Signs that he's making a joke.


Marsha looked at her two bosses with sparkling eyes. He's moved. They're very nice.


"hurry up, he'll be home" said boss Hary.


"iya boss" Marsha replied quickly.


He hurried to art school. Wish the girl was still in the park as usual waiting for an invitation.

Is correct. The girl sat on the school park bench sketching. Marsha already knows the girl's favorite place.


Marsha had also guessed. From the first time seeing the girl, in the same place and with the same activity, the girl must have taken a painting class.


But at another time when she ventured into the school environment during class time, the girl was playing piano in music class.


Maybe he learned everything. Think Marsha that time.


Marsha then plucked a red rose nearby. Let the school gardener be surprised that his flowers have been picked, nor does he know who is picking. Think Marsha.


Marsha stepped closer. The girl saw it.


"hi, why are you here ?" ask her while looking left and right.


"the security guard will tell you to come out, because you are not a student here" he explained.


Marsha said nothing. He just stood there hiding the roses he picked back.


Marsha approached, then gave the flower to her.


"thank you, I really like roses" said the girl.


He then slipped the flower in his sketchbook. Then continue the picture.


Marsha chose to retreat slowly. He doesn't want to disturb. But he still wants to be here. He sat on the wall of the garden, not far from where the girl was sitting. He just wants to look at her. That'sthat's all.


*


The girl saw a black minibus stop in front of the school gate. Hastily he collected his drawing paper, tidying it into a medium-sized handbag.


"until I see you again" he said before leaving.


Marsha realized, she also had to leave immediately. Otherwise, the school security guard would have thrown him out because he had no interest in the school.


But if the security guard knows, Marsha has a heart interest in this school.


*


Marsha returned to the store with a lethargic face. He forgot something.


Both bosses looked at him. They are waiting for good news from Marsha.


"i forgot to take a photo" Marsha said.


Boss Hary laughed out loud while boss Alice shook her head.


"i told you, this kid can only be silent. Forgetting the surrounding. The world seems to belong to both Mars" said Hary boss.


"already, I'll put the camera in the cashier's drawer. You shoot as soon as you get the chance" Alice's boss grabs the camera in Marsha's hand. He showed me where he put the camera.


Marsha nodded.
