Call Me Isha
40. Untold

when pensive, I could feel a man's arm hanging over my shoulder, making this head look up to see the perpetrator.

"Katin yuk! I'm hungry yet for breakfast!" take Raefal with a spirit that I do not reply to.

"Hey, why?" he asked again, removing the embrace and then looking at me fixedly.

I looked back at the two beads that were looking at me, making our eyes intertwine. Somehow emotions can not be dammed until it makes the clear liquid get away with it easily.

"Why?" the only question I asked was to return the ring.

"Gue was curious, they're actually dating?"

"That's a pretty damn wett."

"OMJ! My ex has a tramp!"

"Duh! Like in the novels. Pepet kept until the corridor was quiet."

"They have no shame what, this corridor! The heat!"

"Oh, former basketball chief! Why date a school nerd!"

Spicy whispers that can be caught by the sense of hearing cannot make me stop crying or take a dizzy response.

"Udah," refer to Raefal's sister accompanied ******* in length. "Come with me!"

I locked my mouth, allowing my steps to be carried by Raefal until I arrived at the deserted corridor.

"Well, why cry?"

I bowed while sobbing. "Thank you, brother."

He took a deep breath. "When you do what, you will cry like gini, why hem?" the question once again made me sob even more.

"Zinc!" spray the man then hug my body tightly while gently rubbing his back.

"Neither cry, Lo's pug nose becomes like a rotten tomato."

"Where not sad, just a shadow. Brother waited for people all night, and when he met called even he went that way, surely Brother hurt?" Finally I poured out my grievances on the tall man I was hugging.

"It hurts, but wait!" The man pushed my shoulder gently until our beads met. "Wait for who? The arga?"

Although reluctant I still nodded to agree to his perception.

"****! Lo's dating her?" With his angry face, Raefal punched the back wall of my body.

I glared in shock. "I-it's wrong that we're dating?"

"Lo stupid or what?! It's clear he's bullied a lot, maybe sorry Sha's good guy but, not a couple."

"That's the past, brother, that's it anyway he's changed too." My trust. "Don't Brother also want him to behave well with me but now?"

"Lo doesn't know what Arga's like!" it just surprised me.

"I mean Brother?"

He looked at me for a long time before turning back. "Forget it!"

"How long have you been dating her?" ask without looking at me.

"It's only been a few days" my great-grandson, afraid of making Raefal's sister angry.

He took a breath, threw it back and looked at me.  "Lo don't think he's just messing around with you?"

"Gue said like this for your good, I don't want to take the risk if something happens to you."

           I packed up my stationery that was strewn across the last table, stuffed it into a bag to get ready to go home.

I didn't come face to face with Arga all day, she wasn't in class. I don't know if I don't know where it is either, not to mention every second I keep thinking about Raefal's words, I'm afraid all these fears are true.

I spread my eyes all over the class. Empty, there is only equipment that complements this class. A human? They came home an hour ago. I did deliberately come home late because I wanted to be alone, and maybe also waiting for Arga who could have returned to this class, but it seems like hope lives.

As I descended the stairs, I could faintly hear the sound of a ball sprinkling with the surface of the floor, I looked to the right and to the left but nil. No people, the school is completely deserted now.

"Akhs! Shit!"

The cry of someone made me frown and then walk towards the basketball court to find out.

My eyes caught the back of a man who was dribbling the ball agilely, it seemed he was very concentrated, the evidence was not aware when I was standing watching him.

After a few minutes he was silent, stopped his action and turned to face me with a surprised look that I returned a smile.

"Lo?" he was confused and walked closer.

"Will there be a tournament until Big Brother is busy practicing until this afternoon?" I asked to watch him standing in front of me with sweat falling down

"Engga. Just a fad, you yourself why haven't you come home yet? Isn't your extra schedule tuesday the same as Wednesday?"

I racked my brain looking for a logical reason to fool her. "I just finished a math problem."

"It's not good to be at home."

I smiled. "Sister too, why not just practice at home, instead of Brother there is a basketball court at home?"

"Hey! It's up to me."

"I am, too" I said with a triumphant smile.

I turned around to go home however, the voice made this step stop.

"Where are you going?"

I turned around, looked back at him. "Home home, the gate is closed in a minute."

He looked at the ash-colored sky.  "Go home with me! It's raining!"

Not yet had time to refuse, my hand had first been pulled towards the parking lot.

"Why do we stop here?" I asked when, the motorbike we rode stopped in front of the dining area which was made of a kind of tent.

"Gue laper, we eat first."

"I'll just go home, brother, just let me go." I pointed at the alley of my house that was visible from where I was standing.

He looked at me flat. "Why? Do you want me to eat? Relax I pay for it."

I'm shaking. "That's it, just make it big brother, I'll go home," Pamitku was about to walk away from the stall but again, had to stop when a car I knew so well stopped right in front of him, causing this self to be shocked because it almost got hit.

"Geez!"

"Isha mafiin me," said the man in a raucous tone after getting out of the car.

"Yes I'm sorry."

He shook his head and approached me. "Sorry, I've just found you, I have the same event as Mr. Reza to attend the event at City Hall so I can just meet you" he explained. "Are you waiting for me from yesterday?" ask her guiltily.

"Yes, but never mind, you're sorry, too."

She smiles. "I'm glad to have you who can understand me."
