Leticia
Chapter 22: Trying to Be Normal

“Why did it fit on the phone, it sounded like a sick person? But why did he suddenly have to get sick like this? Wasn't Leticia okay yesterday? What makes him feel pain in just one night?” Toma who was lying down while reading the material book for the presentation of tomorrow.

“What because yesterday, I was too hard on him? And that's what made him think and become sick? Or because there are other problems that he is facing?”.

“Or is he really angry with me, because yesterday I was too hard on him. So when I called him at night, Leticia was in a bad mood?”.

“Akh!! I can't concentrate!!” Toma closed the material book.

“Why should I think about what I shouldn't think? Just leave him! Whether you get sick or not is none of your business Toma!” Toma was scolding his own mind.

“But why did he, say he was okay if it turned out he was sick? Why would he lie to me like that? I really don't like people who lie and like to cheat others!” his heart was different from his mind.

“Toma!! Why are you thinking about that unimportant thing again and again? There are more important things you do than think about them! Like continuing to read this book! Tomorrow presentation!” Toma reopened the material book.

“Focus your thoughts and thoughts on this book.This is more important” brings the material book closer to his face.

Toma finally forced himself to focus on reading the material book for his presentation tomorrow.

“Tring...Trings...Ting..” sound of morning alarm that goes off.

Leticia woke up from her sleep and immediately turned off the alarm that morning.

“Ugh!! My body all hurt so much.. Is this because I slept on the floor all night? But why did I suddenly fall asleep? That night my head hurt.” Leticia moved out of her sleep.

Then right then, Leticia went straight into the bathroom and started cleaning herself.

“I have to get to school early to practice presentations in class, at least even though it was noisy or I was disturbed at school I could feel calmer than I was at home alone” thought Leticia while cleaning her body.

Leticia had finished bathing, she immediately put on her school clothes for today.

Leticia also had to treat and replace the plaster for all her injuries.

“Akhs..Ah. It turns out this wound still feels very painful and painful, even though this wound I got already from two days ago.. I hope this wound doesn't leave any scars” with hands busy treating the wound.

Leticia had finished treating all the wounds on her body, then Leticia went to get close to her shoulder bag and immediately put in her books that were important for her to carry today.

“Oh yes don't forget to bring a change of clothes” Leticia holds and enter the shirt that she bought yesterday, for her to wear on her first day of work.

“I must be able to restrain myself, so that others do not see myself as someone who is feeling anxious and frightened".

“Although actually in the bottom of my heart, I was very very very anxious and worried about 'He' who was around my connection. because he could find me anytime”.

“I have to be strong. I have to be strong. I have to stay strong..to survive” Leticia tries to encourage and believe in her.

“I have to act as if nothing happened to me. So that they do not suspect my attitude and start to stay away from Leticia ku” while using her shoes.

“Kryeekkk...” sound door boarding room Leticia opened.

“Uh? Brother Roy? During the morning. Roy already want to go to the cafe?” Leticia sees Roy also opening the door to her room, then Leticia takes the initiative to greet Roy.

“For Leticia as well, she is big sister wants to go to the cafe now, you also already want to go to school huh..you go to school with what?” roy asked Leticia, even though Roy was busy heating his bike.

“Iyaa sis, I to leave for school always on foot, already used” smile widely to Roy.

“Ya already if it is with a sister, right school and cafe in the same direction, how do you want?” roy asked with his helmet.

“Sister Roy offered me a ride, to be honest I did not feel good to have to trouble Roy again.but this time I have to come with Roy, brother Roy, because if I go to school alone especially on foot, it will make it difficult if I suddenly meet with 'She' on the road” thought Leticia.

“Good brother I'm with brother, thanks brother for the offer” Leticia took the helmet from Roy's hands.

When Leticia wanted to put the helmet on her head, she was surprised by what Roy said.

“Be careful in using that helmet on your head Leticia, the wounds on your head and on your forehead must not have fully healed, but if you're careful of the wound you're definitely not going to hurt” Roy said that to Leticia with his sweet smile.

“Good ka Roy” Leticia returned Roy's smile, and he listened to Roy's words by using the helmet carefully.

“Kcilk” helmet rope hook sound.

“Wah this is no longer difficult yes brother to hook, haha” laughs little Leticia.

“Iyaa dong, the hook has been replaced with a new one. if we have climbed” said Roy back with a sweet smile.

Then, Leticia and Roy immediately left their boarding house.

But along the way Leticia just lowered her head.

“I have to hold my head down so that when 'She' accidentally crosses paths with me, she can't recognize my face this” Leticia thought along the way.

Leticia had arrived at her school, and Roy dropped her off right at the school gate of Leticia.

“This is his helmet brother.Thank you for giving me a ride” Leticia's smile to Roy with the helmet he holds in his hand.

“Iyaa Together Leticia, brother Roy hope you are in school to keep your wounds and another thing that brother Roy hopes is that you do not get another wound on your body it”

Roy's sweet smile with his left hand took the helmet from Leticia's hand, and with his right hand stroking Leticia's hair smooth.

“Good sister.be careful on the road” Leticia waved her hand towards Roy.

Roy leaves Leticia and goes back to XX cafe.

Leticia who saw Roy had left her, Leticia immediately entered the school environment by running.
