When I Was 17 Years
Sleeping with the lights on
In private class

I snorted in annoyance, seeing some other disciples talking about my whereabouts here.Mindily they said "Moses les's girlfriend is here too,"
"What the heck is who's dating too," I muttered.
I also saw Moses as not focusing on the subject matter of Mr. Haykal, he continued to look at me.
"Moses, do you know the answer?" ask Mr. Haykal for the third time. Moses was shocked.
"Haisst, Moses is not concerned sir because his girlfriend is here. I'm the one who ngerjainnya.." Moses has not had time to answer Bayu already answered and drove to the board.
After the lesson, Moses took me home.
"Let's go home, nad," he asked me silently to hold him.
"What's wrong?" tannya
"Well, if I want to get out of his class, Mr. Haykal." I hesitated,
"Why?"
"I feel like I can't follow his lesson. They're all very clever.. Besides, I'm not comfortable with the attitude of those who think I'm your lover." I replied.
Moses sighed "Have let it go, Come home." His right hand pulled my hand, I still held it.
"See, I'm going home by myself. I want you not to treat me like your girlfriend, we're just friends." I said
"Nad, what the hell is my lack for you? why can't I be your girlfriend? you know I like you more than anything..Why are you so uncomfortable around me now?" hardik Moses in an annoyed tone I just kept quiet, he rubbed his face violently.
"Oh, it's night. Let me take you home. I don't want you to why napa on the street," he asked again this time he went first, I lowered my head to follow his steps.
(Moses is my little friend, we're 1 housing complex. Little Moses is a quiet but angry child, probably because of the upbringing of his parents he grew up to be a man with a high ego. He rarely had close friends, maybe I was his only friend from childhood. When we were Junior High he started to express his love for me, but I was never interested in dating Moses. For me Moses is still my little friend, I never reciprocated his feelings until now. Our closeness is what often makes people say we are lovers.)

The lesson bell is already ringing the sign we're going home. I looked towards Arya, at a glance she raised her phone. Like a sign I have to open my phone right away. There was a message from him, of course,
"We're going to the park that deket yaa school.."
I turned my head, I formed my finger with the letter 👌 which means Okay, he smiled shyly.
Moses, as usual, watched us.

Safeguard
We sat face to face, I took out the paper that I had translated with English, I taught her how to pronounce it so that Arya was not wrong again.
"You have to read it like this, yes, different pronunciation can be different meaning." I cried while pointing to the sentence on the white paper. He nodded as if he understood it, although his confused face strokes could not be lied to.
I'm gaunty!
"Wait, what's the next? not that I'm afraid of ghosts but because...???" much
Arya even mesem mesem alone, I clucked bitterly. She laughed, her narrow eyes almost disappearing making her more charming.
"Not afraid of ghosts, but because of ondel ondel heheheh"
"Hey, seriously dong ah!" I'm starting to sulk.
"hihihi, sorry sorry.. ahem, not out of fear of ghosts, butiii becauseaaa if I turn off the lights I feel lonely.." she replied this time I was stunned.

At night when I was about to go to sleep, I felt restless. I was agitated by the words Arya said earlier, is she so lonely? never put out the lights?
"So like this is he sleeping, isn't this uncomfortable??" I shove the light on, then turn it off again, then turn it on again. And in the end I fell asleep with the lights on.
At Arya's house, Arya was about to sleep he really turned on the lights with his light, sometimes sleeping like uncomfortable but lasted until the morning.
