2 Meters per Second
The reason for the girl


The young girl looked helpless, as if she was standing under a raindrop all by herself, so that it soaked her entire body. Ops…! I almost made a big mistake out of my own understanding.


Without thinking for a long time I stepped my feet towards the girl with slow steps and felt groggy. Then at the right moment, suddenly, my mind was now filled with bad things.


I was thinking, is this normal for a high school teenager like me to come to a girl my age, she who is bored, shelter under a tree alone, he said, and no human being was close to him. Even if this isn't good, I'll stay there.


“Quiet…! Be calm…! Quiet...!”


That's how I said a slow tone while doing a very fast tempo, in order to try to calm myself down, but even with a choked voice, because I also began to fear being close to him.


Understand that people like me if they are close to a girl, what else wants to invite introductions even longer, will definitely feel groggy with thoughts that are out of control or can be added again will be wrong behavior.


Surely you guys are also thinking about what I'm thinking, it fits.


“I have to be brave, because I am a real man.”


My heart continued to rebel wanting to go outside, I myself was already at the point of danger would make me to dare to talk to him.


“Pe-excuse me, mbak?”


I greeted him with a frightened face and a little nervous.


Without any resistance of voice or movement from her, I will greet her once more in a funny tone while smiling sweetly at her.


“Sorry, ma'am? Ma'am, who's waiting?”


Without waiting for a long time, he immediately looked at my face.


“What…? You said I was mbak..?”


“Heee...?”


I was spontaneously surprised by the content of my mind that suddenly ran aground in the middle of the road. Because at the time I called him as mbak, he suddenly had an angry face and was a little pouting of course.


I thought about it again, and this time it will work.


“Then…? What's the big brother here.?”


“Don't sister..!”


The girl's voice grew bigger again, like she didn't like the word I mentioned earlier. Without thinking much, I immediately gave up and questioned the suitable word to call out to him, with my eyes becoming a serious point of looking at the details of the look on his face.


“Then whom do you call it? To you..”


“Ka...Ka..ka...ka.., ...”.


He was trying to reveal something, I saw the shape of the lip vibration of the girl like goosebumps, it seemed like she was cold.


“Ka..?”


I tried to follow from the vibration movements of her lips. Still, I don't understand what he's trying to say.


Not long after, he stopped and went back silent without a word.


What the whole time he's been under this tree. Not long after, there were a few rows of questions about the girl right in front of me, but still I couldn't question it.


Why is he here, huh?


Still, I couldn't talk to him, trying to think again.


Who's waiting for him, huh?


Still, the groggy feelings that kept coming up were all around me.


Where's he going, huh?


Still, he would definitely come back angry at me.


There is no clear direction from where or who. Suddenly, my lips immediately let out a word of question, I hope this is the best.


“What are you doing here?”


Without a word from him coming out, a silent air appeared all around me, as if he had not responded to my question. And not long after about a minute, I also did not get tired of waiting for him to start talking. He revealed with a slow start.


“I'm here to avoid people who wear white, and it's only natural that I'm here.”


I stared at his face, which was goosebumps completely up to his nose, paled right in front of him, his red lips moving slowly. Of course, her beautiful white teeth shone between her soft lips.


“People in white? Who?”


“Keep, I asked you... Why are you approaching me?”


With a short pause, change the tone of his speech to a little rough. And my question that was not answered by him, like ignored.


Complaining my breath and trying to calm down, I immediately answered him with the beginning of my usual face and a slightly relaxed tone to him, because it was so that I could adjust the situation now.
