Admiral's Secret
021

Nala just finished her initiative. Almost an hour Nala cut out the picture and she attached it to the container for her to pair with the frame. There are two cartons that become the media of his task.

The result is not bad. Nala smiled seeing him. Then he put the frame back carefully to the table. Then he began to pay attention around, seeming his friends are still busy with their respective works.

Her art assignments will be gathered in two days, so today Nala with her group of friends is doing group assignments in class after school hours.

Nala looks at the duties of her friend, Angger. He did not hesitate to offer to help, but Angger refused. He felt he could do it himself. Angger just didn't want to trouble Nala and had Nala rest to see Nala was done with her task.

Then Nala offered herself to her friends who were rags, they also refused smooth. Until Nala noticed how busy Raskal was up ahead.

Raskal deliberately took the place ahead. While busy cutting, some of his work seemed to be lined up around Raskal. Nala intends to approach and offer Raskal assistance.

"You..must help?" Lirih Nala caught Raskal. Raskal looked up and he shook his head.

"You're done?" Raskal asked and Nala nodded.

"If so you sit down and rest." Raskal said with a smile. Nala was shocked, a sudden attack came and Nala was of course not ready.

Nala is better according to, taking an empty place to sit while regulating the pounding of the heart that is crazy. Raskal and friends are right, Nala needs a break.

Their classes were filled with two groups doing art work. The difference is that one group takes the theme of cultural diversity in Sumatra. Nala now turned to pay attention to the busyness of the group. Occasionally open a short conversation.

"Natales.."

Raskal's bass voice was so close that it echoed Nala's hearing, Nala's mind suddenly empty, until Nala was silent for a moment until a smooth clap was felt on her shoulders.

"Nala, can I buy you something to eat?"

The bass sound came back. It seemed as if it was slammed far away and flew away. Raskal who saw Nala just silently looked confused.

If there were no one in class, Nala would have fallen to the floor because her legs were so limp and powerless.

But Nala has to be strong. Just Raskal's bass, Nala can't be weak.

Yes, you can't.

Nala had already promised herself after the nosebleed incident, Nala should be much stronger. Must tough. Nala should not be inferior to the charm of Raskal, one of them with the sound of Raskal bass. As strong as possible Nala must survive.

When Nala turned her head and found Raskal's face so close to her, Nala staggered back.

"Nala, are you okay?"

Nala immediately took a chair and sat down carefully. His feet could not reach the floor.

God, why am I this weak?

"I bought you something, right? You're like that limp. You almost fell down." Tawar Raskal with worried look still not responded Nala. Nala was busy dealing with her weakness. He cursed himself for his helplessness. Then Nala's head nodded briefly at Raskal's offer.

"You yeah? I'm going to the cafeteria with Dawn. What do you want me to buy?" Ask Raskal.

"That's. hmm. that's.." Nala stutters.

"Do you want me to buy you sandwiches and mineral water? Like Chicken rice is closing at this hour, you have to eat heavy food." Said Raskal while glancing at his watch considering the schedule of the school cafeteria shop was already closed.

Nala just nodded then Raskal left with Dawn.

Nala was silent and thought of something, Nala became worried about her condition in the future if Raskal continued to approach her like that.

Raskal's smile and bass voice bothered Nala's mind, not to mention the small touch that Raskal now began to do to her. The grip of Nala's hand and the gentle pat on Nala's shoulder were like a nuclear bomb that could at times destroy Nala's defenses in an instant.

Nala thought about how she would get closer to Raskal and then they had a romantic relationship that Nala had dreamed of for almost a year.

Nala imagined, someday Raskal will hold his hand more often, or often stroke the top of Nala's head while smiling and saying..

"The story is Nala.."

"Nala belonged to a Raskal.."

"Nala's got Raskal.."

"Raskal has Nala.."

"Raskal likes Nala.."

"Nala, sarathaeyo.."

Angger had just finished his initiative then turned his head, stunned and confused by Nala's inertia beside him. The girl's face was so red and sweaty.

Without Angger know the feelings of Nala who wants to scream with only wishful thinking flying in her mind.

Angger again busied himself.

...-0- ...

One by one the tasks of Nala's group were checked. Each assesses and gives direction to improve their tasks so that later their tasks get maximum results.

After everything was done, they decided to go home.

"Natales.."

Nala turned her head, finding that Raskal had carried his big bag to his back. "You want to go home?"

Nala was silent for a moment, she looked at Raskal as if Raskal was giving a matter of physical energy that Nala and Nala could not understand.

"Hmm. that's. to the toilet.." Nala's stuttering relapsed and Raskal snorted amusedly at Nala's remark.

"You go to the toilet first means. Go to the toilet first."

Nala looked down embarrassed, Raskal just gave her permission to go to the toilet as if they were a matching couple who often went home together.

Nala flitted to the toilet. Instead of urinating, Nala was busy holding her hysterics there while stroking her chest with happiness.

So, what kind of outdoor want indoor?

Feel much better. His condition is stable and his breathing is surfing the toll road, Nala is so confident coming out of the toilet. Her happy aura emanated until her aura caught some students who witnessed how Nala stepped out undaunted.

When her broad steps reached the classroom, she swallowed as Nala saw Raskal and Lea in the doorway.

Nala watched as Lea was complaining of pain with one hand hugging her stomach. His face was slightly pale looking at Raskal.

Seemed unperturbed, Raskal pulled one hand of Lea onto Raskal's shoulder and Raskal wiped it. His steps come to a halt when Raskal finds Nala nearby.

Nala looked at Raskal and Lea alternately. His eyes were implied by Raskal's action on Leah.

"Nala, sorry, I have to take Lea to the clinic first. Maagnya. It's okay if you come home with Dawn?"

Before long Dawn appeared from behind Raskal.

"Fajar, I'll take Nala with you. I have to take Lea." Said Raskal to Dawn without asking Nala's approval first. Dawn just nodded, approving. While Nala was still fixated on what she saw at the moment.

So close and tight was Lea's embrace on Raskal's shoulders. Also Lea's gaze on Nala.

Nala felt strange, no, Nala was troubled by Lea's gaze aimed only at her at this moment. That meaningful gaze raised Nala's blood flow to the head slowly. Nala thinks this is jealous. But Nala brushed off that feeling. He had no rights, but strangely the feeling appeared and felt annoying now.

Before Raskal returned to Leah, Raskal said, "Nala, I'm leaving first. You be careful yeah. Sorry I didn't take you home. I have to take Lea. But I owe you. I'll remember it."

Raskal said it easily, without the young man knowing that his words and actions towards Lea before his eyes caused a crack in Nala's heart.
