A HEART THAT IS STILL TRAPPED IN THE PAST
Late Home

I sat on the sidelines after finishing our sentence, using my hands as a fan, my breathing seemed to be choking. Looks like I do need a drink, lemon ice is the most appropriate one for now.

I noticed that Daren and Kristen, whose sentence was still not finished, I think she was starting to run out of breath as well. Indira is still not back, she said goodbye to me earlier to buy drinks outside, because the cafeteria is closed.

School has also begun to be quiet, other extra-curricular children have also returned home. Just a few people were seen, the door to the music room was open, and I saw the musical child coming out.

I was a little surprised when I saw Raka there, Her hair had already started to grow again. Also, I just found out if he's in music too. Because once I saw him with the school football team..

Speaking of Raka, I think since the last worship together in the library reading tamba, we have never chatted again. I think, the actions of me who kept seeing it made Raka realize my existence.

In front of the music room there is also Anna, the girl is still staring into the field where Daren and Kris are. I think Anna wanted to be friends with them, but she didn't have the courage to take the two on a chat.

If not, how could Anna possibly want to tell me something. And also the unofficial actions of him staring at Daren showed that indeed Anna did not have the courage to make friends.

“Out... What are you looking at?” I gasped in shock when Indira touched my shoulder.

“huh, you surprised me. Where's my drink?” I asked him and he immediately handed me a bottle of Fresh Tea.

“Only that's it, mas juice seller already closed faster.” Indira sat beside me.

“What's wrong, the important thing I can drink, ” I was just about to open the bottle when someone snatched my drink from me.

Daren opened the bottle and drank it right in front of me, I looked at him with annoyance. Hey, come on I haven't even had a drink yet but he's been drinking almost half of it!

It makes me remember what happened weeks ago. After that, he looked at me and smiled like he had never done anything wrong.

“Sorry, I'm really thirsty. That upperclassman really sucks,” Daren returned my drink, then only then could I finally drink too.

Daren didn't touch the surface of the bottle so I drank as usual. “When you can take the plastic, Dira has bought it for you too.”

“Sorry, actually Brother Leon bought us, he feels guilty for punishing us.”

“Good, I drank it first” I glanced at Daren after he finished talking.

And again he just smiled at me.

I don't want to think about anything so much that I don't ask him. After almost 17:00 p.m., we were finally able to go home. Daren picks up an angkot near the school, while the three of us walk together to near the hospital.

I took the second path because surely the angkot in front of the Church was no longer there, so I had to take the road far enough to get home.

“Alright, we part here.” Indira waved at us when she got her angkot.

“See you Monday,” my word.

Kris and I waited a little while, because the car that passed was all dominant. Only fit for one person, even though I already said that Kris can go home first but he refused and said he would look for a car that is not many passengers.

“You are a girl, I have to take care of you at least until where you're going down.” Kris stopped a car that was not many passengers.

“You entered first,” He then looked at me and asked me to come in when I was the first to go down later.

“How about you go first? I got off from you first.”

“No, fast login.”

The car then drove, I just looked at the view from behind the car glass, it was seen that the sun had set. I'm sure I'll be interviewed again by my family as usual.

They worry about me too much, I understand that. Half way before the place I went down, I heard Kris say: “What do you think of Daren?”

I glanced at him in a daze, Why did Kris suddenly ask me about Daren? We've all been good friends, we've been chatting and that's obviously pretty accruing.

“I mean, How does it feel to be friends with Daren? He won quiet but it seems he's a little different to you.” Chris said again.

“I think it's because we can understand each other, he's good also fun,” That's just my judgment how do Daren?

“That's not what I mean, how about a like squeeze?”  The account was silent after hearing the question.

“I like Daren, I like to be friends with anyone.”

I felt Kris sigh then she said, “Have you, you really don't know anything.”

I was confused by him, I wanted to ask but my place down was close so it canceled my wish. After I got off, I went to find a motorcycle to go home.

So if I ride the angkot in front of the church, I will immediately arrive at the front of the house, but because the angkot is no longer there, I take a detour with twice the transportation.

Arriving at home I saw grandfather drinking coffee in the kitchen, while chatting with grandma.  While my mother was cooking dinner with my aunt, my mother's sister.

“Rafael, already home? Why so long? Does the school know that your house is far away?” mom asked me.

“Your mother is right, does the school set the clock home this late?” Then my grandfather asked me too.

“It's Friday, Grandpa's mom. I had an exkul at school and we were home around five in the afternoon just today many passengers so it was difficult to get a car.”

“So where did you come home?” Grandpa asked again.

“I passed the path of two grandfathers. I was with my classmates, ” I replied

“You came home in line two, it's a danger do you know..” My grandmother started babbling as usual.

So I sat in the kitchen and lowered my head while listening to some love words from my family for quite a long time, before I went to change my clothes.

I went to my room and changed my clothes, I should have taken a shower at least twice a day, but our family rule was not to take a shower if it was 18:00 in the afternoon, so as not to catch a cold.

I saw my first sister drawing in front of the TV and my second sister was working on her PR. Realizing my whereabouts, my first brother Michael asked: “Kak, I've been waiting for you since I found out, help me draw a Buffalo for my fine art work. Gabi said brother helped her yesterday and she got an 87 for it.”

“No, brother should help me with schoolwork, I don't understand this math”

“You can ask Mom, my duties will be collected tomorrow ahu.”

“My duties also know tomorrow, big brother you should give up on me your sister.”

“.... ”

“.... ”

“Already, let's do it all together.”
