Why ?

They don't understand

✨✨✨

A bright morning. He was enjoying the cold air while occasionally seeing there were some people already with busy in their early morning.

Gres really enjoyed this morning. With mang Juki who was sitting driving while occasionally talking lightly with him.

Who knows that his mind and heart are not in line. He felt his mind was quite muddled today. But with his face flat and can not be guessed whether he is good and not. Make people who see it ordinary.

In the school corridor it felt lonely just a few students passing by. He had indeed deliberately come quite early this morning, considering he had to take a follow-up exam for not taking the exam on the first day. In addition, he also had to carry out the punishment for daring to escape on the day of his exam.

"Truly cruel morning" his inner self.

He also arrived at the teacher's room. There he faced his homeroom teacher to ask for a missing question sheet.

"Yeah!.  How can you not go to school in your first exam?" ask Mr. Erdan his homeroom teacher.

He didn't even answer the class guardians' questions. He passed by and sat down at the table reserved for the students taking the follow-up exams.

Gres is classified as a student who is quite clever so it does not matter to him with the math problems he faces to start his morning this time.

While in class. There are a lot of students coming. Someone is learning. Some just sit and gossip. The mood of the class is always like that.

"Gres hasn't come yet" Rendi

"Yes. After thoughtful thinking. I regret my words yesterday" Eca

"Gue was afraid that today he would skip again" Rendi

"Are we on the phone any time?" Jack

"Papa, let's wait again. Who knows he'll be a little late" Eca

"Yesterday I went to his house. But the houseman says Gres hasn't come home yet. We did not have the test for long. I'm afraid anything's happened to him." Joints.

"He's not home? Where's he going?" Jack.

"Where until what time is it?" ask Eca.

"Like afternoon. But not until dark" Rendi.

"yeah. Worry about the kids!" Jack.

"Oh, yeah. I also felt like I was not home anymore. Mang Juki said, the driver. If Om same Aunt has moved to Paris and settled there" Rendi

"Don't say Gres changed because of that. He has been traumatized from the past by his parents' lives!" Jack.

"And the departure of his parents was already a few months ago. Just when Gres started to change" Rendi.

"Pity Gres. I'm not good with him. We are angry and worse than us no one supports him, when he needs us. I feel so guilty" Eca.

"May she be okay" Rendi.

The atmosphere of the school became quiet, all students were reading about the exam that had just been shared. While the three friends of Gres are confused about his condition.

In the teacher's room....

He solved the things he was working on. He also moved from his seat while carrying his answer sheet to give to his homeroom teacher.

"Please go to the classroom to take the next exam" Mr. Erdan

"Good sir!" Gres

Walk along the school corridor. He was in a lot of thought until he suddenly recalled the incident where he was drunk at the bar. He tried to remember the face of a student who helped him but did not cross his head at all.

"Basic stupid! How can you thank him if his face alone you don't remember at all" he told himself.

In the classroom, the atmosphere is so calm and gripping. He dared to knock on the door of the class.

Tok tok....

"Please come in." Said the teacher watching the class.

"Why are you late on your exam day?" Gurus

"Sorry" Gres

"Can't you give me any reason?. Wasn't it built by your mother? Until you're late?"

Gres who heard the last words of the teacher was able to make the romance of his face immediately changed as if furious with what he heard.

But he tried not to shout at his teacher. He was quite aware that the people around him could not understand him well.

He just thinks that they do not need any reason if in the end they still will not understand.

Even the closest people. There are times when they also understand each other. Remember that he is not the only one who has this burden.

Remembering what his best friend said yesterday was enough to make him realize that everything is not just revolving around him.

Given that, he felt that he was an independent and spoiled person. It was only fitting that his parents abandoned him so that he would become more mature.

After getting the question sheet. He walked to sit in his usual place. Regardless of the views of his three friends.

Somewhere else. In a classroom. A student was thinking of something that took his mind away that morning.

"Aghhh..!

"You why?

Early in the morning had thought of something that almost made your charm disappear huh?" Ask Leo his best friend.

"Eitherway. I was just thinking about the girl" Sean.

"Hey..! A guy like you, who is crazy at work at this age, thinks about it too. I thought you were just work and work" Leo said with a mocking laugh.

Sean worked at his father's company while attending school. His parents said he had to be trained indeed so that he could lead the company when he graduated later.

"Yeah...!  I'm a man like everyone else" Sean.

"How can you think of that drunk girl you told me about, who in fact you don't even know where she lives and worse you don't even know if you'll ever see her again or not!" Leo said with a laugh.

"Do I need to wait for him at that bar again?" Sean.

"Yeah..! Sean are you crazy huh. If you want why don't you just pick a girl in our school a lot and almost all judge your good looks.

Don't make your cool nature disappear just because of the drunk girl.

Or is there a perfect one of them, huh?" Leos.

Eventually they looked at each other. With a sharp look Sean had explained that he was angry at his best friend.

"How could I not think of that girl. If my feelings weren't what they used to be around that girl.

What exactly happened to me?" inner Sean.

The break hour arrived....

Gres who had already solved the problems immediately gathered the answers and left the classroom.

It also did not escape his three best friends. He was even colder and displayed a frightening flat face at the moment.

He headed to the end of the corridor while climbing the stairs that would lead him to the roof of the school.

There he was sitting on a long wooden bench. He was enjoying the sun that was still not too hot at that time while enjoying the wind that hit every strand of his hair with not forgetting the earphones that had been attached to both ears.

He closed his eyes. Enjoy every lyric of the song.

Without realizing it someone took a sitting position also at the end of the bench.

"Pres....!" the call was ignored because he did not hear at all.

Without waiting a hand holds his shoulder.

Realizing that, he slowly opened his eyes and saw who had been bothering him.

"More..!" Gres

"La. I look everywhere too. You know you're here" said Rendi with a smile.

They are pretty close. They're not even uncommon if they have to call me-lo.

They're used to calling me you.

"The wind is good.!" Said Rendi while occasionally looking at Gres who was enjoying the earphones in his ears. He was sure that Gres would not have heard from earlier.

Half an hour later....

"The same story as me. What's too heavy to make you like this. hmm!!" Rendi while lifting the aerphone from the ear of the girl.

"I promise I will always be there for you. I'm not gonna leave you alone anymore. I'm sorry that sometimes I can't understand you!

I can't if you keep going like this. My heart hurts so much look at you in gini." Joints with tears that are almost going to come out but are held

"I knew I was just a friend from childhood, a friend, a close person. Who may not even know and understand you. But from a small age I kept trying to do that. Today I don't want you to feel alone like that." Joints

"Hmmm....! I'm sorry too. I never realized that there are still humans like you who have struggled and learned to understand me from the past. I'm selfish" said Gres with a smile.

"You're not like that. I now really understand it" said Rendi while stroking Gres' shoulder.

"I just can't take it that the people closest to me are slowly leaving me. I'm a selfish person who wants to be understood but doesn't want to understand. I'm bad, yeah..!" Gres.

"You're human. You deserve to be like that. Whoever was in your position back then would have done the same" Rendi.

"I'm sorry.!" Said Gres who had hugged his best friend's body tightly.

"I know it's pretty complicated for you. Can you share it with me too?.

I really want to be the person you go to when you're tough and need a back up. We've known him long enough.

You mean too much to me Gres" said Rendi while stroking the hair of Gres who was hugging him tightly.

He did not answer. Rather he felt lucky to have Rendi by his side. From the beginning he was the one who always came if he would cry every year he missed his parents. Even Rendi's parents were so familiar with her. They even consider him a child.

He realized. In every incident and event that he experienced Rendi will always be the main character in his life. He could not even in his days if the figure of Rendi did not exist.

If he is tired, crying, feeling his life more bitter then his sleep will be there and embrace him it will make him again believe in himself that he is not alone.

That is what makes it inseparable from the figure of Rendi. The last few months he passed without the figure of Rendi made him miss this hug again.

They are two figures who are presented to strengthen each other in the days of their lives. Although until now Gres has not really understood Rendi well.

The clock came home...

Today is quite long. Impressive and brings lessons that are meaningful enough for everyone who goes through them.

The four friends are back to how they were. They even forgive each other without having to wait long.

They just need time to vent everything they feel. Because the matter of heading into adulthood all will not run as before.

He has his own way of educating and hitting strong every one of them who wants to be processed to be stronger to face the burden that will be heavier in the future.

That's how the beginning of adulthood sometimes the less of them who want to continue with us.

Just like they are today who prove that they are not only there if one of them is happy but they are on every side happy or bad life.
