Tuti Lazy School
43. Surely I'm Just a Dream

Since yesterday I have been sleeping poorly. I want to tell you who doesn't know. Yanti has finished from her Elementary School and Madrasah. So I'm really bland with no friends around me. I always play by myself, read my own books, my own kantin because I don't have a gank or a circle or anything. Then Jesus approached me who was alone

"Tuti, how are you alone?" Isa sat next to me and approached me and greeted me.

"Well, no more friends. Want to be searched wherever no one can replace Ningsih." I was annoyed to throw a small stone into the front yard of the classroom.

"Oh, if you're not our class. Than you in your class, there's no friends. The next time you were there glum looked at your face. You picked the wrong class, maybe you did too. But it's happened, Ti, how else." He rubbed my shoulders.

"Yes that's Sa." I smiled fake.

"Oh yeah Ti, there's something important I want to talk to you about."

I immediately turned my head, curious about him and started to seriously "What is that? Tell me!" I'm excited.

"But promise yes, don't be sad."

I nodded without a second thought, "Yes-yes, what are you saying?"

"I'm actually. I..." Isa played his fingers and his face looked gloomy and stemmed the sadness in his eyes.

"Will? You why? Hurry up, tell me you need anything."

Isa immediately cried, hugged me and said his stammering "I, I-I want to move Ti" He cried and hugged me tightly.

"So, you really want to move? when and where." My tears broke and my sobs churned.

"Move to Pasir Pangaraian later. Second semester exactly." Isa.

I hugged him "Later I'll be lonely no you Isa. All this time it turns out you were my true friend. You were always there for me, but I didn't realize. Thank you so much that you're always there for me." Even though people see it, but losing people who are always close to us is a hurt thing.

"Ehhh, come in, come in." I wiped Isa's tears and turned the other attention so that he would stop dissolving in his sadness.

"Yes, bye Tuti. I'll remember your services and words." Isa ran small to his class, and waved his hand.

"Eum, yes!" I spoke with my nose that was blocked from crying.

I also entered my class. Then Lily asked with a curious feeling

"So you why cry with Isa?"

I shook my head "Not nothing. There's nothing either." I covered my grief with lies.

.........

And then I've been playing Isa lately. The weather is always supportive. The weather is not so hot, but not so cloudy. Plus the chirping of a little singing bird. The wind blows my cheek. The fall leaves fell right in my hair. Actually I'm sad, but I try to toughen up

"Well, Isa?" I knocked on his door.

I waved reluctantly "Neither come with me." I pulled his arm forcing me to follow.

He parried my hand "Ehh where are you going? Wait for me to close the door. My parents are not home." He immediately locked the door and put on his favorite pink slippers.

"Yuk."

I just nodded my head.

I came to give Isa a surprise. A place I created myself. It was near a small lake not far from Isa's house. I closed my eyes all the way and led him to the place I was going

I whispered in her ear softly "Now you can open your eyes." Slowly he opened his eyes.

"Gee! Here, this is just for me, Tuti?" I was surprised by the surprise gift I gave.

"Ehe yes, soon you'll be moving. So so that my sadness does not drag on, this is for you. I mean this gift for you." I gave a gift and some pictures of my memory and some other friends with me, Isa, Ningsih and others.

"I don't expect this to be all Tuti, I don't need fancy or awesome gifts. I just need.. I just need you not to change and like, the Tuti I know. Yeah, Tuti's who I know. Oh, thank you Tuti. I'll remember our services and friendships." Isa hugged me tightly, he was amazed by everything and he was so grateful to be friends with me all this time.

"Thank you, Isa." I felt touching and didn't expect to shed tears.

"Yes there is still a chance, yuk got up. We eat this cake while you open my other presents." I got up and wiped the tears that hit my cheek.

Isa nodded "Hm.." He cried at everything.

We also ate with a jest. The cream of the cake that I bought on a whim, put it on Isa's face. We laughed out loud, and as he looked I opened my gift happily. There's still a chance for some time with him. Even though Isa isn't here anymore. But I will remember my moments with him.

.........

The next day I woke up, and I woke up early. I check my phone will have a chat coming in through my phone. Apparently there's no. It's 05:19 in the morning. I prayed Fajr and took a shower. Dress appropriately and wear a neat school uniform. Breakfast with artificial Mamak and rushed to school. I can't wait to meet Isa.

I arrived at school at 06:39. School is still empty. I looked near the tree next to the class. The leaves are fallen and perishable, like my farewell and Isa. Flowers that thrive can wither on their own.

"Well, this is my life"

"Why should my loved ones leave?"

"I just felt happy."

"Do I need to make new friends? But it doesn't look like it's gonna replace me and Isa." My heart is speaking in many ways.

Then I accidentally saw Ningsih in the distance. I don't care about him anymore. He had a new friend and forgot about me and Isa. I did not flinch anymore to see his presence. I was stunned when he greeted me. But I was ignored and empty. Over time many students arrive. One by one the classes filled and many were present. I went in there because the class was starting. When I was about to enter Isa's class and I passed by from next to the class. He nodded hinting to greet me. I greeted him back with a smile.
