Morning Star
Supraises

Morning Day.

The entrance bell will start in less than twenty minutes. The classroom still looks quiet. Even Keisha is not yet coming. I who came to school early today chose to stay in class. Daydreaming while waiting for the bell to ring.

On the sidelines of my daydream, I faintly heard a noise from behind the closed classroom door. I don't know what the commotion is out there, but when the brown door opens I go limp in my seat.

"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you."

The sound of happy birthday singing guided by Keisha and Natalie now echoed across the classroom. They clapped their hands in excitement. There are even boys who accompany the guitar as well.

My smiles and tears can no longer be hidden. I cried as I approached Keisha who was holding a tart.

"Thank you all. I didn't expect you guys to give me a surprise like this. I am very happy," I said feeling moved.

"Eh, blow this out first. The cake hunt is burning" said Keisha.

I looked at the cake Keisha brought and nodded.

"Make a wish don't forget. Play a blowout at the end," serobot Natalie reminded.

I'm laughing a little. I almost forgot about it if Natalie hadn't told me so quickly.

I slowly closed my two eyes tightly. Clenched my finger, then begged in front of the burning candles. I don't want to expect anything more now. It feels tired if it must once again be broken by its own expectations.

After a few seconds, I opened my eyes and blew out the candles. The sounds of the children were crowded again. They were cheering me on happy birthday.

"Happy birthday, Ra. I finally got a free deal today" Keisha said, hugging me.

"Thank you Kei. You are my best friend," I replied back in his arms.

"hey are. I am a limited edition friend. Grateful you have me," Keisha replied in a contemptuous tone.

"Yes. Sometimes it's too limited."

Keisha took off her embrace straight away. His face had changed because of what I said just now. I just chuckled at her behavior and turned to Natalie.

"Happy birthday to Ra. May you be happy always. I really can really find the same lo," said Natalie followed by a short hug.

"Gue is also very cool to be able to find the same lo Nat. It's so good with me. Thank you," I replied.

"Lo is also good again Ra."

"Guy! OUR FIRST CLASS IS EMPTY!"

The loud cries of one of the students further add to the atmosphere of the classroom to be boisterous in seconds. Natalie just to shake her head while covering her ears.

"So much for your class. Anjir!" natalie.

"Are there plans to move classes without Nat?" Tempted Keisha while laughing mockingly.

"Damn lo! I went back to class. The bell came in too. Once again congratulations to Ra," said Natalie say goodbye.

I smiled again at Natalie before she left the class. "Thank you Nat."

I who immediately understood who the person who was meant by 'spell of heart' by Keisha just threw a rough breath. I sat down on the table looking blankly ahead. Saw something.

Because, after my kiss with the Star last night on the hill, I did not interact with the Star again until now. I accidentally turned off my phone after that hillside incident. Of course I avoided it because it was Aunt Marisa's request. I also don't forget that today is my last day with the Stars. And the more pain should coincide with my own birthday. The pain was double what it felt.

And if I can be honest I want to celebrate this special day with a special person too. But all that is just my wishful thinking. Now I have to bury all my desires deeply.

"Woy! He said something even!" Shouted Keisha startling me.

I flinched and immediately woke up. Could the stars have contacted me?

"Lo's all right, isn't Ra?" Ask Keisha who is starting to get suspicious about my gurgling.

"Gue's going to the toilet first Kei," I immediately went out of class.

Keisha must be cursing in class because I ignored her question. I'm just not ready to tell you about the wounds I've been through again. Sometimes there are things that we have to take care of ourselves.

I took my phone out of my pocket. Squeezing that thing in my own hands. I'd be lying if I didn't expect Stars to call me. In the corner of my heart, I was waiting for news from him. I wonder if today Star remembers my birthday.

My heart is no longer broken. It feels like everything is mixed into one in one breath. With all my courage I turned on my phone. Wait until there is an incoming notification.

My heartbeats grew even more intense when I heard the notification sound coming in. I opened the phone and read it. It was from the stars. He even sent me messages many times. I didn't realize I was smiling when I opened a series of messages from him.

Thanks for this 'happy. I will not be able to escape the good memories with this lo malem Ra.

You're leaving? Why not just say the same to me?

Lo why? Why your phone is not active.

I don't know why you're always successful for me to worry about. You're all right?

I know it's your birthday today. I won't say it here. I want you to come to the hill at 7 o'clock. Welcome to Malem Ra.

The last message from the Stars made my smile slowly fade away. I'm glad Bintang remembers that today is my birthday. But celebrating with the Stars is unlikely. I don't want to go to that hill to see him. Because the more I buy time to stay away, the more my heart hurts as well.

After reading all the notifications I immediately turned off my phone back. I don't want the Stars to keep calling me. It's better the stars hate me at once so he can forget me. Sometimes I always regretted a meeting that would end only with a farewell.

"Kejora! What the hell are you thinking?" search for Keisha when I find out that I keep daydreaming in class.

"Eh, no kei. I didn't think of anything,"

"Today is your birthday. So you should be happy don't be sad gini,"

I smiled blandly.

"If it could be that simple. I also want to be happy today, "my mind is lethargic.
