Riska's face changed after seeing the video Cassie showed her.

"So you believe now the same cave? if it's Cara who is naughty, elo" Cassie said, asking.

"So, the cave doesn't believe me" Riska replied, leaving Cassie.

Cassie smiled as she leaned against the perimeter of the school roof. He smiled as he looked at Riska from behind.

After Riska left, Cassie began to laugh softly, then ended the slanted smile that carved her lips.

"Hahahahaha, Haaaaa, Hn"

**********

In the classroom. Riska is upset. He doesn't want to believe Cassie's words. However, all the evidence he could not ignore.

Shortly after, Riska was pensive. Memory flashed through his mind, making him recall.

Flashbacks. Two and a half years ago. A month after our acceptance as new students. Riska is on the roof of the school. He often went to that place to just stay silent, even vent his emotions.

The door opened, I was on the roof of the school building for the same reason as Riska. Actually, I went to the roof before Riska. But he never saw me, because I was always at the end, where the wall blocked vision.

The first day of school, I was on the roof alone for a while.

A week later. I was still often on the roof enjoying the view of our school. While the rhythm of Cults Gilded music, making the atmosphere more comfortable for me. I really enjoy the wind that blows through the pores of my skin.

However, since I was a sensitive person or perhaps could be said to be sensitive to sound, even a small voice, I could hear it.

That day, I heard the voice of someone who screamed out emotions, sometimes he slammed unused items on the roof of this school. I took off my right headsed, then looked at it.

When I saw him, I smiled and allowed him to vent his emotions. It lasted for weeks to a month later.

A month later. As scheduled, I knew exactly when he would come to vent his emotions again. So, I always waited for him.

At that time, it was 10:10 noon. I was enjoying the beautiful melody of the music called Eminem Mockingbird.

The blue sky looks beautiful. A gust of wind blew away the quiet clouds, looking free as if all the burden was gone. I want to be him.

My eyes also occasionally glanced at my watch. After the time shows at 10:30 p.m. I let go of my right headsed, waiting for him, so I could listen to his emotional outbursts.

"Aaaah.....! fu*ck, fu*ck!! I fuc*ing hate you!" riska shouted, slamming things on the roof of the school.

After being content to scream. Riska went up to the wall and stood on top of the wall, the barrier on the roof of this school. I looked at him, and then I climbed the wall. Then walk slowly towards him. However, he was unaware of my existence.

After that, I held his hand. He looked at me, and I just gave him a cheerful smile.

Riska looked at me in astonishment. Then I put my right headsed on his left ear, my song has also been automatically changed to a song called Sia The Greatest.

"What's going on here?" ask Riska, astonishment.

"Hm, don't mind" I replied, smiling at him.

Riska took my hand off her. His face looked very embarrassed, but also annoyed.

"Kok you're suddenly here? You just go, this is a cave place" Riska said, driving me out from before her. I smiled more and more when I heard his words.

"Apaansih, not very clear" said Riska, her face slackened.

"The cave has been here a long time, before Elo often come here, the cave has often been here. Unfortunately you can not see the cave, because the cave is blocked by the wall" I explained, then pointed to the wall.

"Njiirr, so all this time he's been looking at the cave here" Riska's inner self, his face getting irritated.

"If you have a problem, don't be on your own. Lo can also tell to the cave, teneng aja, the cave people can keep a secret, really. You have a problem with your parents?" continued, asked.

Riska is silent. He looked down, thinking about many things.

"Kok he knows" Riska's inner. His face, showing the question. I smiled, making him even more astonished.

"According to the cave, for some people, the pain they feel comes from 65% of their own family. Starting from trauma, disappointment, anger, jealousy, heartache, fear and often also the main cause of his sadness. As for 35% of the sides come from outside the environment. As people demand, the words of those who are sick are to be heard. Even the criticism we get. And we can only smile as if everything is fine" I said.

Riska was silent, pensive after hearing the words from me. All this time he was distressed by the demands of his parents.

His father wanted Riska to like his art. Bahkah his father often registered Riska to international level competitions. Like playing the violin, playing the piano, and painting. While his mother wants Riska to become a famous actress like her.

Riska prefers to do business like her father. He wanted to lead a company like his father. It was his dream since childhood.

Riska remembers every moment their family ate together. His father and mother will definitely start putting more pressure on him.

"If later you can't get ranked number one in school, it's better to major in art, not business" said his father, while his hands still cut meat, then eat it.

"Hm, if you can't, you better take a film major. Who knows you are a famous director or director" continued his mother.

Riska had already stopped eating. His two hands that were under the table, were instead busy to hurt each other. His thumb was bleeding, as he continued to cut his finger with his fingernails.

"Hm, you will go to college to take art" continued his father.

"Better majors filmman mas. You majored in film, or modeling. Mama wants you to be a famous actress of mama's cake" between her mother.

After a long silence. Riska started crying. I pulled her down, then let her cry until she felt calm again.

While she was crying, I saw her fingers covered in scars. It seemed like he often injured himself with his own hands.

"The cave hates everything, the cave hates" Riska said, as her tears continued to flow. I patted him on the shoulder, to calm him down.

"What is the wrong cave? cave parents never want to creep into the cave. They never supported the will of the cave" he continued, with bitter tears.

"Hm, according to the cave The profound disappointment of a person came from his own family. You're not wrong. They are wrong. They should support your dreams as parents" I said, my hand still patting her on the shoulder.

"Man is smart Ka, cave sure you can if you try. Proof of your parents if you're serious about your dream" I continued.

"Humans are smart, but because they are smart they can also fool themselves with their dreams, cave one of them" explained Riska.

"Hm?" my word. Riska just kept quiet, I was a little pensive about her talk, then thought.

"Hm, it seems like she often leads her family to live in harmony. And her parents also supported her dream" my inner self, asked.

"All the cave efforts so far have been in vain. Cave parents are never satisfied with the achievement of the cave. Though the cave has been hard" said Riska, a little trembling because of sobs.

"Hm, according to the cave, everything we do is never in vain, why in vain? we can continue to gain experience. From that experience, we continue to learn, right? make us strong. Lo strong, sure cave lo can. The cave will also help you lo, hm" connect me, code with eyebrows, while my hands hold both shoulders.

"Hn, how is it going? ask Riska, wirih.

"So calm down, bokap lo will definitely support you. If it's about nyokap elo, he will definitely not follow bokap lo" I said, smiling at him.

"Really? can the cave believe the same words you?" riska asked, wiping her tears.

"Lake it easy, the cave of the believer" I replied, still smiling.

"Thank u Ra, cave hold lo talk. Lo is a good person who has never met" said Riska, immediately hugged me.

I was a little surprised by it. After that, slowly my hand patted her shoulder.

"Hm, according to the cave, the cave is a bad person who is considered good by people" I said, slowly.

Seriate...
