Perfect Love
5. see you

I woke up forcing my eyes to open which felt heavy. My head felt a little dizzy with a twitching look - a firefly. I cried all night even after Rafael hugged me, calmed me down and drove me to my room. I was shocked by the incident, my pride felt really falling. Maybe others think this is excessive, but that's how it is. This morning I was determined not to drag on - late considering last night's events, today I will try to forget the embarrassing events and live a day that might be beautiful. I got up immediately to the bathroom, soaking half an hour in the bath with warm water relaxes all tired thoughts. After my bath ritual was over I prepared to wear sports clothes and piggyback my hair and polish my face with sun cream then apply a little powder, the last of which I gave a touch of my lips with lip teen. After all, I last put on my grey sports shoes and walked out of the room because my friend Diandra was waiting in front of my room.

A few minutes later, Diandra and I arrived at the hotel restaurant for breakfast. This time I decided not to eat dinner with my group of friends because I was lazy to meet the perverted guy, before that I told my other friends and they understood my decision. As a result, I sat down with Diandra and her group of friends including Rafael who immediately prepared a seat when he saw me and Diandra coming,

" Good morning Melvin, Diandra, you look so beautiful this morning, "Welcome Rafael to make me and Diandra smile shyly, said Diandra,

" Good morning also Rafael and other friends, this morning I brought my friend Melvin to join us, is it okay ?" Tanya Diandra really hope her friends agree,

" Of course you can, whenever Melvin wants to join, we will all be very open, " replied Rafael who was taken by all his friends at the dinner table. So far all the friends of Diandra and Rafael are quite open with my presence in his group, they do not even hesitate to invite me to talk about many things. As if knowing the unpleasant events I had, none of them had discussed the matter of appearance last night making me even more comfortable in this group.

After breakfast, all the trainees gathered in the hotel's open field. Today the agenda of our activities is outdoor or outbound activities. The event began with morning gymnastics with its instructors the organizers themselves. After morning gymnastics, the committee informed that the outbound group would be changed again with fifteen people per group. It made me quite happy, because beyond my expectations Rafael is now a group with me and I am not a group with the pervert making the positive energy in me flourish. I enjoyed every second of activity this morning, there were lots of fun games that challenged cohesiveness and togetherness. In each post of the game there will be two groups that are given a challenge by the committee, the group that wins the game will get a prize from the committee while the loser will get a penalty whether it is given a mud mask or watered with water. It has been three posts from the seven posts of the game that my group must finish right, so far my group has always been superior to the next group. Our group still remains beautiful and handsome as the beginning of the activity is in sharp contrast to the next group that is not because of the mud. In this fourth post, we were given a challenge for one person to find five balls of tenes in the mud and then give his friend to be moved in chains with two short pipes that have been halved. To be fairer, people who will wallow in the mud look for balls drawn. In my group then fell to me, Rafael had offered to replace, but I refused because this was my responsibility and changing my position was not justified in the game. I had enough trouble stepping in the heavy mud and stirring - stirring the contents looking for the ball - the ball, my friends cheered cheering me who quickly found the ball with the opponent. When the first ball was successful I found all my friends immediately took positions to move in chains. In this fourth game I lost quickly found the ball in the mud so my group lost. As a result the committee put mud on our cheeks, even so our condition is better than the opposing group whose face is full of mud. Raphael approached me with a bucket of water to clean my hands and feet. When I wash my hands, my hair ties are released making a few strands of hair cover the face and quite disturbing but I ignore and stay focused on washing my hands. Seeing the real me was quite disturbed, it was unexpected that Rafael gave my hair a bond. Slowly - the ground he took off the rope and combed my hair by hand and re-tied it when it was neat, he said,

" Thank you Rafael, "I smiled at her for a moment, and she smiled at him. Slowly - the warm ground slipped into my chest cavity getting her attention and sweet smile, this scorching day also felt shady as she clasped my hand taking me away from the field in time for a break.

After lunch, there was still a little time to rest. Rafael and I chose to sit under a mango tree on the outskirts of the sea not far from the hotel. We looked at the vast ocean that was hit by the hot sun during the day. There was no conversation between us until Rafael opened the conversation,

 " As for last night's incident, I'm really sorry on behalf of Nathan because he's been so rude to you, I didn't expect him to do that, to be honest I was also very angry with him, even from last night we did not reprimand each other, "I turned to look at him who spoke without taking his eyes off the sea,

" He should be the one apologizing, not you, "I replied with a long sigh,

" No Melvin, I'm also guilty because on this show he's also part of my responsibility, "He turned to look at me with a shady look, he said,

" But, "I'm not done yet, I said he stopped me by holding both hands,

" Please forgive Nathan yes, I beg you, for there is something you need to know, that Nathan will never say that word, but instead he will hurt himself, please, please, I don't want anything to happen to her !" He said something to me, I might refuse if I asked for Rafael. I smiled at him nodding to look at Rafael's two eyes that were sparkling with pleasure,

" Why did Nathan do that ?" I was curious, though,

" I also do not know clearly what the cause might be related to his past or maybe it was already his carrier, "His speech did not make my curiosity disappear. Then there was no more talk between us, we looked back at the sea, heard the waves that broke on the shoreline with Rafael who kept holding my hand tightly.

The game starts again at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon. Rafael and I have returned to our group to continue the post we have not yet passed. We can get through each of the next posts with a win until we arrive at the seventh post. This is the last post, here all groups gather to fight agility and compactness to be the best of the whole group. The game uses a giant bamboo triangle that must be run to a predetermined line with one as the driver standing on top of the triangle and the other moving by pulling and extending the rope - the rope that binds it. The group that can reach the finish line first will be the winner. In my group Rafael is the driver, as he drives for the right leg of the moving triangle, friends who hold the rope on the right will loosen the rope and the left will tighten to hold the triangle so as not to fall, it is done repeatedly \repeat and alternate until the finish line. My group managed to get rid of all the opposing groups, so we could enter the final round. In the final round my group had to compete with Nathan's group. Since morning I haven't seen Nathan at all, at the end of this game I just saw him. I saw that his cheeks were a bit swollen, which means it's true Rafael said that he likes to hurt himself when he feels guilty, it's impossible for his cheeks to be swollen just because I slapped him last night. When he crossed paths he took his eyes off me, not wanting to make eye contact. Actually I was a bit upset with his overly selfish attitude in my opinion, but I chose to give up, make peace with myself to forgive his mistakes. The game began, the cheers of other participants crowded together in support of one group, they were divided into my group and Nathan's group. Rafael guided as before, we deftly followed Rafael's every instruction. When almost at the finish line, Nathan's group was also in a similar position to make all participants cheer more tense to see who will get to first. Because this is also both my group and Nathan's group became angry, my group became careless until the triangle almost fell but fortunately we can still hold back. Rafael shouted out loudly to calm down my group of friends. While only one more step towards the finish line, Nathan's group was also one step less. Seeing that we were equal - equally clashing speed took one more step at a time, but Nathan's group made a mistake making his triangle as well as Nathan who was on it fell before his feet touched the finish line. The supporters of my group cheered happily at our victory and they all advanced to the arena, he said, the male students immediately shouldered Rafael and threw him into the air while the female embraced me and my other group of friends.

After the last game is over, all participants return to their respective rooms to clean up and rest before the closing ceremony later tonight. When I was going back to my room I saw Nathan walking limping into the hotel lobby. I ran after him, called his name but he did not answer or look, He walked as if nothing. When our distance was close I held him by blocking his arm making him stop in place,

" No, I won't let go until you talk to me !" Nathan turned to look at me with a flat expression,

" Don't you not want to see the face of a jerk like me ?" Without answering his words, I pulled his hand and brought him into my room and he simply complied.

When I arrived in my room I immediately pushed her in and locked my door,

 " Why do you want to bring me here, you want to challenge how much of a jerk I'm doing, but I'm sorry I'm not that jerk, " He said half angrily, making me want to laugh amusedly. Regardless of what he said, I immediately took out the drugs from the P3K box, then forced him to sit in my room chair. I rolled up her trousers up to her knees, revealing her smooth white legs without fur, I was a little surprised to see the appearance of her legs that were beautiful enough for a male size. Forgetting her beautiful legs, I focused on her injured knee spitting out blood. I began to clean the wounds with antiseptics, causing Nathan to grimace a little. After the wound was clean I gave the red medicine and wrapped it in gauze. After finishing with the wound on his knee, I switched to treating the wounds elsewhere including compressing his swollen cheeks. As my hand compresses his cheek, Nathan's hand holding my hand stops,

" Why are you doing this ?" He held my hand staring in,

" Because you're hurt, "My answer is short as it is,

" Why are you nice to me when I've been rude to you ?"

" Bad deeds are not to be avenged for evil as well, but on the contrary, bad deeds must be repaid for good," He was silent at my words, I resumed my activity of compressing his swollen cheeks, he said,

" Why don't you want to look at me, you know such a thing won't solve the problem, "I told you again, he then looked down at the floor, looked down at me,

" I'm ashamed of myself, "

" You have to apologize, there's no shame in admitting a mistake, "

" I apologize to you, I'm sorry that the mistakes you've made can't be corrected, "He stood in denial of my statement, he said,

" But what with self-harm will also correct the mistake that has already occurred, no Nathan no, at least by apologizing the mistake can be tolerated, "My answer looked into his eyes, he said,

" Alright maybe that's the thing you can't do right now, no matter , I also don't ask you to apologize to me because I've forgiven you, all I'm asking you to forget about is that, please talk back to me, and stop hurting yourself if you do something wrong !" I continued, hearing that he softened back down and looked down at the floor. A few minutes later, both Nathan and I were silent. Feeling uncomfortable with this atmosphere, I took the initiative to find something in my accessories bag. I picked up my favorite black simple strap bracelet that was pretty neutral if it was worn by a man or a woman. I put the bracelet on his wrist to surprise him,

" What are you doing ?"

" This is a bracelet sign we made up as well as a sign that we started making friends from this moment on, let's fix our previous bad relationship!" I smiled at her, for the first time I smiled at her,

" Thank you, Melvin, "His heart smiled back at me, the first smile at me and the first time he called my name.

The evening was the closing of leadership training activities as well as the highlight of this event, namely the election of the chairman of JOS. Prior to his selection had been held by a committee consisting of previous JOS administrators and former OSIS chairmen from all over SMA who participated in this event. Those who follow this selection are two representatives from each school who will be the administrators of the next period of JOS. Of the four candidates elected chairman, two are Kak Arya, my deputy and Nathan. The event starts with the introduction of each candidate, which is followed by the oration of each candidate. This time Arya can decorate very well that can attract the attention of all participants with simple words that do not spread much promise but are very convincing. Neither I nor my schoolmates are proud enough to see the authority that Kak Arya displayed tonight despite his bad attitude in our own internal OSIS. Nathan also quite captivated the participants with his poetic words, showing his intellectual capacity. After the oration, the committee gave all participants a piece of paper to write down the name of the selected candidate then the committee will go around taking one by one ballot paper. After the calculation, Arya led the most votes and Nathan in second only ten votes. Brother Alfan smilingly looked at me and greeted Arya feeling proud. After Kak Arya was elected, he was welcome to deliver his victory speech and then sign a letter of transfer from the previous chairman. The event ended at exactly ten o'clock in the evening, accompanied by a farewell song and sobs from some students remember the moments - a pleasant togetherness with other school students must be over. I myself am quite sad, because it means that I also have to part with Rafael and my group of friends who have been like family during this activity even though we did not know each other before. I hugged a few friends and shed tears remembering pieces of excitement and togetherness at every event. After the cuddle and farewell chants were over, we continued with a photo together.
