What I'm Going to be without You
Is this Spring
Unlike usual, today Meira left alone without Keynan. While at the main gate she sees Bella walking alone towards the class, Meira notices Bella as embarrassed and groggy as she walks due to the attention of several men from other classes. Seeing that without a second thought Meira immediately caught up with him.
“Bella”, cried Meira while running small.
Bella who heard her name called immediately stopped and looked back. Bella sees Meira running towards her.
“Hai”, Bella replied to Meira's greeting.
“Ra, why are they on looking at me huh?” Bella innocently asked Meira.
“Lo don't know why they're staring at you?” said Meira.
Bella shook her head.
“That's because you're beautiful, so they tease you”, Meira explains.
“Lo is nothing, right? if you are disturbed they say the same to me if not the same Keynan, later
we who gave lessons to them”, Meira took Bella's hand to walk faster so she felt more comfortable.
“Still ya”, Bella said with a smile.
“Ahh, it's common that we're friends”, reply Meira.
Meira and Bella both walk towards the classroom. Arriving in front of the class Meira let go of her hand and
seeing friends.
“Haiii, good morning”, Meira said excitedly.
Sesil, Lulu and Alya who were busy chatting immediately turned to the door because they believed it must be Meira's voice.
“Pagi”, his friends compactly answered the greeting with great enthusiasm.
Meira immediately stormed his friends with cipika cipiki. Bella who saw their familiarity
feeling anxious to have a friend like Meira, Bella walks to her seat imagining it's welcome to her, even if it's just a good morning welcome.
“Where are we this weekend?” sesil.
“What if we play to Alya's house, while doing the job?” Lulu suggested to her friends.
“Agree”, says Sesil and Meira
“OK ready, later I ask to nyokap I make ready for good food” said Alya.
“Sil, you pick me up yes at home”, Meira said.
“Aman, tomorrow I pick you up ya”, Sesil said.
“We invite Bella ya”, said Meira.
At once the three of them turned to look at Bella who was sitting in her chair.
“Alright”, his friends said.
“Yes, I will tell Bella ya”, said Meira happily.

Gang.teng.
The break bell rings. Meira and her friends go to the cafeteria for their favorite meatball snacks.
Bella opened her bag to pick up the tape Keynan had given her. He walked towards Keynan by hiding the tape behind his body and covering it with a book.
“Key, Bella wants to turn this back, thanks ya”, Bella thrust her cassette on Keynan who was sitting together
Very.
Keynan immediately looked at the object in front of him and then saw who gave it.
Keynan took the tape out of Bella's hand. Seeing that the tape had moved into Keynan's hands, Bella immediately left Keynan in shame. Then Keynan moved out of his chair following Bella.
“Bell”, Keynan grabs Bella's hand.
Bella turned to Keynan.
“Lo where to go?” ask Keynan.
“You returned this book to library”, Bella showed me the book in her hand.
Keynan walked with Bella to the library.
“Bell, lo hobby read yes?” ask Keynan.
“Kok Keynan tahu”, asked Bella curious.
“Finally from yesterday a lot of books that you brought”, said Keynan smiling
“Ehh this weekend Keynan where?” ask Bella.
“Why, want to update ya”, Keynan tease Bella.
Bella bowed in embarrassment while holding her book, hearing the sentence that Keynan said.
“Sorry, sorry I was just kidding”, Keynan is afraid Bella is offended.
Keynan stopped his steps and stood in front of Bella. Keynan held Bella's shoulder. Stare
his face is pure white Sundanese.
“Bell, you won't watch with me tomorrow”
Bella looked at Keynan's face. His heart was pounding, his feelings mixed between happiness and disbelief. Then Bella's reflexes nodded and gave Keynan a smile.
“OK, if so tomorrow afternoon I pick up at home lo ya” said Keynan.
Bella just nodded at Keynan's invitation. In his mind is this a date? Or Keynan was just trying to cheer me up because of those words. The hustle and bustle of the children in front of the class who were resting like a sudden silence, only Keynan's voice was heard. Keynan's voice continues to chatter about what film they will watch tomorrow.
Upon their return the two of them returned the book straight to class, they sat in their respective seats, the bell coming in after the break had yet to sound. Meira and her friends have not returned from the cafeteria.
Five minutes passed by Meira and her friends came back from the cafeteria, laughing and discussing something they thought was funny. The four of them plan to hang out at the Teen cafe after school.
Meira entered the class and saw Keynan sitting in his chair staring out the window at the blue sky that day. Hearing the laughter of Meira and her friends Keynan turned towards the classroom door looking at Meira's face. Meira smiled seeing Keynan looking at her as well as Keynan returning Meira's smile.
Meira approaches Bella to take her to Alya's house.
“Bell, you have no event this weekend, join us to play at Alya?” Meira invites Bella to join
with them. Meira hopes that Bella will agree to the invitation so that she can be closer to her other friends.
“Sorry Ra, Bella can not, Bella there is a show with friends Bella”, Bella refused Meira's invitation without saying
that he's actually gonna watch Keynan.
“Ohh, OK deh”, replied Meira who put a disappointed look on her face.
Bella who saw Meira's face immediately chimed in,”Emmm next time Bella must come in”, Bella tried
put out words to ease the disappointment in Meira's face.
“Totally yes!” ka Meira reassured.
Bella nods in agreement to give Meira hope that next time she will join Meira and her friends.
Meira leaves Bella to sit in her chair and approaches her friends
awaiting answers. From the look on Meira's face her friends already understood what answer she got.
