Marrying a Classmate
Ch. 8: Myria's Decision

“Kasa, what are you talking about? Just came already like gini?” Myria was inexhaustible over what she faced. He barely closed the door and ignored Angkasa, but blocked the guy's arm.

“Kasa!” Myria's tone began to firm. His two round eyes even seemed to highlight the aggravation.  Ever since the day that Angkasa acknowledged the attraction, Myria felt the guy was starting to change.

“Gue seriously.”

“Kasa!”

“Gue seriously, My. Same marriage I let you not alone carry the burden of gini life. You can share with me. I don't have the heart to see you constantly confused gini.”

“Oh, did you marry because you pitied me? Sorry, Kasa, I can still survive by standing on my own feet.” Water suddenly spread in Myria's sense of sight. His usual eyes looked clear, now blurry because it was blocked by the dam of sadness. The girl's mind returns in the day when Space helps her find a place to live. Could it be that the guy now had such hidden intentions back then?  Like being hit by a consecutive storm, the problem has not met the end until now. However, Myria never thought of ending it all with marriage.

Realizing that something was wrong with his words, Angkasa immediately went forward and explained. However, Myria pushed her chest in annoyance. “My, that's not what I meant. Lo misunderstand. I'm ...”

“Do I look so pathetic, Kasa? You know that Islam calls marriage Mitsaqan Ghalidza. As easily as you married, can you hold that agreement at our young age gini?”

Space speechless. He seemed to have to learn about the term Myria had just spoken. It was true that he was too messed up if he wanted to have Myria. Especially with that girl. “My, but I ..”

“Married not as beautiful or romantic as social media content, Kasa. There's a lot to prepare. Have you prepared all that?”

The courage that Space built during the journey from home to the boarding house, vanished so sata after getting many questions from Myria. The girl in front of him was not wrong, it was precisely Angkasa who realized how careless he was. Marriage is not a matter of living together, but all things complicated or small things. “My, I can learn.”

“Back, Gauze. Don't talk weird anymore. I assume tonight's just your arrival as a schoolmate. Not another thing.”

“But, My, what's wrong with marriage? I want to be able to protect you. I know, you're not comfortable in my deck because we're not halal. So I take a decision gini let you be calmer when we are together.”

Myria's two eyes closed accompanied by a breath to set the heart. In fact, facing his classmates is not easy. Space is a little stubborn. “Kasa.” Myria's voice softened. He tried to stare intently at the two eyes of Space. “I have no problem for young marriage, but the problem is, is it ready? Marriage isn't easy, Kasa. We are under age. You know, right?”

“My, I can marry you religiously. When our age is fulfilled, I take you to KUA.”

Myria's head who was dizzy since yesterday was increasingly unwilling to hear the talk of Space. That guy doesn't know where he thinks. In fact, Angkasa is one of the smart guys in the class, but why is it like this when his intelligence seems to disappear suddenly.

“Kasa, go home. We go to school tomorrow. No need to care about me, I can definitely get through all this. Assalamualaikum.”

The door closed perfectly. The mouth was already open to ambush, but Angkasa was losing fast. In fact, his right hand had already been raised to hold Myria.

Classes are crowded when they hear the bell break. The students scattered like ants out of the nest. Different from the others, Myria is not into the canteen today. Money will not be enough if he continues to snack while the source of income is still zero.

“My, you fasting?” Friska stopped pulling her hand as her best friend held back near the bench. He looked up and gave a look waiting for an answer.

Myria nodded. He had to lie so as not to have a long affair. Friska had been bothered too often and Myria was reluctant to do that continuously. “You go to the cafeteria with the others. I'm going to the perpus. If the bell has not returned, samperin only who knows I overslept.”

Replace the nodding Friska. He eventually went to the cafeteria by himself and promised to return soon to approach Myria before the bell rang.

Canteen full of students. Starting from class X to XII all become one. Traders are many and just choose the menu, but Friska dizzy also when alone without friends. Especially having to wait and wait. “Gue can last if gini.”

Space from a distance saw Friska alone approaching immediately. He slipped a lot of students behind Friska to invite uproar. No denying, despite having long departed from the school basketball group, the charm of the guy still dominates. “Gue just jerk off, will not nyerobot your queue,” said Angkasa gave an explanation so as not to be cheered.

“Perpus.” Unsuspecting or whatever, Friska replied casually. He did not want to look back or stare at Space for long. If it was done, business would not be enough to get there.

Curiosity is complete, Space moves backward and away from the group of people. Some students from other classes were busy staring, even the underclassmen bravely pulled out a cell phone to take pictures. Space is like a school artist to that many fans.

While carrying a bottle of mineral water, Angkasa left for the library. He walked down a room that was each side full of shelves and books. There were four long tables in the middle of the room. The guy immediately headed to the place without command.

The coldness woke Myria from sleep. He opened his eyes and found that Angkasa was already standing with a smile. His cheeks were palpated, Myria realized that the guy in front of her was the perpetrator. “Ngapain you bring food here?”

“Drink doang, times. Here, grab!” The bottle began to condense as the cold temperature just came out of the refrigerator. Through the cold drink, Angkasa woke Myria by sticking a bottle to the cheek.

“I'm not thirsty.”

“Gue know you lied.”

Myria snarled because she was lazy to respond. Her body was a little weak because there was no breakfast. He'll have to postpone eating until later tonight.

Myria's expression did not immediately make Angkasa deterred. The guy snuggled up and took a seat next door. The two teenagers were lucky to be on the bench at the very end so there was not much to occupy.

“Lo read what?” The book from in front of Myria was drawn Space. The guy flipped through the cover of the back front page.

“Kasa, can be diem, can't you? You didn't read the writing on that wall?” Myria's index finger pointed to the right side where there was the writing of the library rules.

The sky turned around. He could see almost all the visitors of the busiest busses with their respective books. He himself was like a human straying in the middle of a sea of books.

Tired of being ignored by Myria, there was another Space mannerism. He accidentally took the phone out of his pocket, then pressed the camera menu and photographed Myria secretly. Every shot succeeds, Angkasa's smile rises. The guy was actually exposed to an acute level of pink virus.

“Hei, lo here it turns.”

The sound instantly stopped the Space's behavior. He hurriedly hid the phone into his pocket.

Not much different from Angkasa, Myria also postponed the activity of reading her book. The girl looked up and found Erika already pulling the chair in front.

“Gue nyari lo from earlier, My. In class, there is no elo. I'm coming straight here. I didn't know there was space here. I'm happy, deh.”

Erika's gaze was deliberately avoided. The sky pulled back its body and stood up. “Gue turning class.”

“Eh, but I just came, Ka.” Erika almost shouted and held back Space's arm. However, the guy deliberately walked fast. Never mind being touched, just seeing Erika's face Space was so lazy.

“Erika, why are you looking for me?” Myria diverted the conversation until Erika returned to paying attention to him.

“Where was my offer yesterday? Do you accept work in catering? I asked, said nyokap. Ntar job is not as heavy as full-time employees.”

Under the current circumstances, Myria no longer had a choice. He took a breath and smiled. “I want.”

“OK. Back to school, you can be acquainted with nyokap. Back with me.”
