Call Me Rain
Sudden Wise

True what is said is the saying that, as clever as a jumping squirrel will surely fall too.so will Alula, as smart as he avoids Yanuar, will eventually meet too.

As is the case today, Alula has just got off the bike driven by her brother, Mirza. lately she deliberately always comes more noon. her goal is only to avoid Yanuar who always demands answers. so, when he entered the classroom, before long the subject teacher entered, and there was no chance for Yanuar to speak to him.

Mirza often asks "it's never too late to go to class, leave at this hour?"

But Alula just shook her head, not answering a word.

"Little you." so said Mirza who again did not get an answer from Alula.

"Get in a bang." Alula told Mirza.

Alula slightly lowered her head with her hands busy tidying up the slightly exposed skirt.

Mirza did not answer, because her eyes were now focused on someone.

"So now it's official." Mirza smiled a smile like she was mocking.

Alula raised her head, she frowned "I mean brother?" tanyanya did not understand.

Mirza pointed at someone who was standing at the gate with her chin.

"No, there are already smiles waiting for you" said Mirza, but somehow sounding an annoyed tone in Alula's ear.

"Guy me see it." he continued.

Alula turned to the direction Mirza was heading, her forehead frowning again to find "Yanuar? " was standing with a smile expanding towards him.

"He was the one who shot you back then, right?" ask Mirza.

"So, since when?" continued.

Alula's forehead again frowned not understanding.

"Since when have you not been afraid of men anymore ? and since when did you dare to date." her insistence demanded an answer.I don't know why she felt annoyed with Alula at this time.

"I don't know what my brother means, he's not my girlfriend." argued Alula with her head down. she was nervous, but she did not do what Mirza alleged.

And again, why is her heart so sick this time hearing Mirza calling her with the word 'Lu'. whereas Mirza often called her with that word.

"Judah gih, step in, learn the real thing ! don't hit the wall. don't hit the tabok." Mirza turned the key and restarted her motorcycle.

"Dragon, that's not true."Alula tries to explain, but Mirza has left her far away.

Alula let out a long sigh. Really, she felt annoyed.but what was it that upset her? whether on Mirza's accusation to him, or on Yanuar who had been waiting for him at the gate with a big smile. because Yanuar's presence there clearly made Mirza misunderstand him.

Hey, but what's the problem ? Mirza was even just a brother to her.

With heavy Alula stepped foot towards the gate, with Yanuar who must still be there.

"Morning of La." said Yanuar when Alula had arrived before him.

Alula turned to look at "For Yan."

After greeting back, Alula passed from before Yanuar.

"Why do you keep avoiding?" yanuar asked frankly "I'm still waiting for your answer." he continued while following Alula's steps.

Yes, since Yanuar expressed his feelings, Alula always avoids Yanuar, both in the classroom, and when outside the classroom.as if never give a chance even if just say hello, he did not know what to behave like.more precisely, he did not know how to reject it.

"I can't." replied Alula slowly.she ventured to express her feelings.

"Why ? why can't you ?"

"Hey Lula. I've been waiting for your answer for a long time. And now, you can't answer ?" yanuar said with a hardened jaw.

Alula was just silent, she was circulating her gaze.All the students who were nearby seemed to steal what Yanuar said, making her feel embarrassed for being considerate.

"Sorry Yanu, I can't. I just want to focus on learning."

"Halah, alesan aja."

"Lulaa, I don't accept yah lu giniin." said Yanuar half-cried.

"Hehh, look at it later." murmured Yanuar with a smile.

...****************...

Since Alula rejected Yanuar's feelings for him, he never again sniffed or hid. At least he felt relieved because Yanuar finally could understand and stopped chasing him just for an answer.

But the relief did not last long.because this morning, when Alula entered the classroom all eyes noticed her arrival.they looked at Alula with a look of disdain.

At first Alula did not care, she kept walking in and occupied her seat, Mulan was already there, while Marsha had just entered shortly after Alula sat down.

"Didn't think anyway, the driver's son can go to school here." chirped one of the students who sat not far from them.

Alula's ears caught those words, 'driver' What does she mean? maybe someone else. Alula tried to shake her feelings.

"It could be, if someone else paid for it." said the other.

"Don't be surprised, just the capital looks aja. she's beautiful, about money is easy."

"Yahh, Yanuar classmatea aja he refused. nyari what try?"

"Yes, of course, look for Om-om who can increase school costs."

Alula realized, now she was sure that what they were talking about was her. But, who spread such rumors? as far as no one knows if he is the son of a driver, Marsha and Mulan are clearly unlikely to spread it. The risma? did Risma do it? but for what.

It's not about Dad's job that makes his heart ache, but the accusations they say really disturb his feelings.It's not appropriate for a child to be in school here.

Even about his rejection of Yanuar, he never told anyone about it except...

Alula glanced at Yanuar who was sitting adjacent to Risma. Yanuar's smile looked cynical, obviously he was very happy to see the look on Alula's overcast face. then his gaze now turned to Risma who put on a smile not much different from Yanuar. he was now sure, if the one who did everything was the two of them. what exactly did they want ? why they do that.

Alula never expected that her rejection of Yanuar would end like this. Now Alula bowed, her eyes began to heat up. Clear fluid began to collect in the eyes.but a hand managed to calm her.

"Don't cry La !" Marsha Exclamation.

Alula raised her head, looking closely at Marsha's eyes.

"You're a strong woman, you never cry even if you feel excluded." Say again.

"Now why would you cry for people who don't like you?"

"They're just jealous, because they can't be like you." either the devil's welcome, until Marsha can speak such wisdom.

Mulan who had just listened, now her eyes were wet because she was the one crying.

Marsha's forehead frowned at Mulan "Ko' instead you were crying Lan?" ask Marsha

Mulan's eyes blinked "I'm sad, why can you talk rich that way." he said innocently.Mulan rubbed the end of his eyes that are now watery.

Make Marsha cluck upset.Mulan may say like that.but, he himself also felt confused, why he was suddenly wise.

"You're here, don't talk! "marsha.

"You are the one who goes first, so I answer."

Alula's initially cloudy face brightened when she saw her two best friends who now throw jokes at each other.

It's true what Marsha said, we don't have to grieve for people who don't like us.

Even if we are good, it will still look bad in the eyes of people who do not like us.
