At Least I’M Free
XXXII

The atmosphere of class 11 pharmacy A looked boisterous when Miss Gita as the homeroom came with a girl with brownish red.

"Everyone quickly sat on their own bench!" Tell Gita to sit on the teacher bench.

All eyes were on the girl standing in front of the class. Curiosity began to accumulate in the minds of everyone, so, according to the words of Gita maam, they sat on their respective benches. The mood changed quietly.

"Good kids, today we have a new friend." Bu Gita turned his head and smiled at the girl beside him.

As if he understood, the girl spoke. "My name is Lilya Lindberg..."

Everyone seemed to be waiting for the next sentence with a question mark full of eyes. But unfortunately, the girl remained unmoved.

"That's doang?" A student finally commented. "Good, school, hobby, nothing?"

With the attitude of ogah-ogahan, Lilya continued his introduction. "The money is more or less the same as you. The origin of the school is from the next town, and for the hobby anyway."

People can be confused by that answer. Some of them even started to whisper and laugh at each other.

Not wanting the situation to get worse, Gita also decided to end the introductory event.

"The seat in front is empty. You can sit," said Bu Gita while pointing at the front bench in the left corner.

Without any linger, the lily passed and sat there.

"Yes, the teacher will come here. You guys are fine..."

"Yes mom...!"

After Bu Gita went outside, the new atmosphere of the class in this cool morning back crowded. Especially since they were given a new topic that is, a new student.

"Wihh. Blaseran's son?" Ask a student who is sitting behind her.

Lilya turned her head, and just stared at him flatly. It made the student awkward and just chuckled. Meanwhile, the other disciples began to flock to his stool.

Lilya let out a long sigh, and as one by one they began to question her personal pertanaan, the girl calmly ignored everyone and just passed her way outside the classroom.

I don't know what he's thinking. They just don't want to interact with people. Since what happened in his old school, Lilya has become very restrictive to interact with others. He was afraid of returning to his false self, and was surrounded by fake people as well. He has been kapok, no longer want to hurt people to fate just like his friends, especially Mira.

With no clear purpose, Lilya continued walking down the deserted corridor. Several times he passed the class and peeked at the contents. Some have started teaching and learning activities, although many classes are still noisily waiting for the teacher to come. No matter where it is, the situation is always the same only the people are different. Inner Lilya.

When aware, Lilya was already in the back of the school building. The high wall that became the boundary between the school and the outside world became high. While on the outskirts of the road between the barrier wall and school buildings are overgrown with grass and plastic waste used snacks scattered.

Although the slums of Lilya did not care about it and continued to walk, until finally it was seen a shabby building that he had assumed as a warehouse. In his yard were piled up broken benches and unfit chairs piled up just like that.

Lilya chose to sit on the doorstep of the warehouse, then grabbed the HP from her pocket. Of course there is nothing there, because since the incident at his old school so many Lilya get online threats from friends, parents students even unknown people.

Not wanting to take a headache, Lilya also changed her number and re-examined all her relationships with people she had known. As a result now, other than his parents, he had no one else to contact.

While checking some games in the plays store for download, suddenly a sound of steps approached. With a glance at the source of the voice, there appeared a man came and was surprised when he saw Lilya.

"Gapin' in there?" Ask the guy with the red hoodie. Despite the shock and confusion, the guy then nonchalantly took a seat from the pile and sat it a bit away from the position of Lilya.

"Lo himself...?" Carefully, Lilya asked back.

Instead of answering, the man took out 3 packs of chocolate bread from his hoodie pocket.

"This cave skipping place, anyway," replied the man after successfully opening the plastic wrap of one of his breads.

“Still morning gini?”

The guy chuckles. “Since when to skip there is a time rule?”

Lilya let out a long sigh unwillingly to continue. The girl then moved away.

"Eh, mo where? The cave is just the name, not the ngusir. Just relax," stop the guy while he starts eating his bread.

Lilya hesitated, but in the end she chose to return to her place. He was tired of going around, too. After all he had not yet memorized this school plan, so finding another deserted place like this was rather troublesome.

"Lo from 11 A pharmacies?" Lilya. "Lo follow me?"

"Yehh.arajain cave is common here. Bad to think it's not good,” obviously the guy is relaxed. "But it seems from the beginning to enter as well, you are the type of person who is critical. Suspicious exactly."

"meaning?"

"You're interested." Said the guy while eating his bread. “So gini, it's basically human has 2 types of facial expressions. Well the first is the temporary appearance of about 0.4 seconds, and the second expression is deliberately maintained consciously. Which expression do you think actually reflects a person's true emotional thoughts?"

Lily was silent for a moment. "That's it. but the cake because it appears naturally, the first one seems more honest."

"Rubber. Let's say the cave has good eyes to see the first expression. So the cave can get a little information from the owner of the expression. In that case, the one with that expression is you." After finishing his first loaf of bread, the man opened the second pack of bread.

Hearing that explanation, of course, Lilya was intrigued because she did not believe it. Unconsciously he chuckles. "But it is impossible to see the expression that appears 0.4 seconds doang. Maybe all this time you've just been frantic about doang."

"Maybe it is. But try yes, you value yourself honestly." The man ate some of his bread bites voraciously before looking at Lilya seriously. "From the beginning, you've been showing contradictory expressions. First impression people may see you tuh kek pendiem girl, shy, mysterious, untouchable lah, because it's an impression that you deliberately pointed. But of course the cave is aware that it's all just camouflage."

Lilya seemed uncomfortable hearing the guy's confident explanation. It was as if his eyes were staring far away at the deepest soul of Lilya.

"In the eyes of the cave that can see micro expressions, you show enthusiasm. Lu looked at each seat of the class, even looking into the eyes of some people there. Gesture you when standing also does not defend the cake cross hands or enter the hand into the pocket. Lu was actually in a state of relax and open the same all things that might happen. Where there are shy people who give such an open attitude."

Unknowingly Lilya chuckled, she could not say because that was what she felt when she first entered.

"Continue fitting told to know yourself.there is a pause as if you again nyiapin personality who deliberately want to be shown. Though actually you really want to talk about yourself and the things that happened before you moved? And lu boong pas said 'have no hobbies'. Gini yes, simply people tend to feel bad when it comes to boong so subconsciously they touch the area of his mouth, and what do you like to say does not have a hobby?"

While remembering, Lilya touched her lower lip the same as in class. He refused to admit it, but in the end the girl gave up.

"Ok ok now I believe-"

"Your real hobby,” cut the guy fast, “from the same proportion of your posture anyway your cake is diligent in the field of sports or martial arts?"

"Like my silat, now it's janga-"

"And for the reason you moved..."

Instantly a cold feeling crept from Lilya's back. What he feared happened. If this guy finds out what happened before he moved...

"Ohh, it doesn't matter either, it's a private matter, the cave has no right to ngusik." The guy puts his shoulders straight. "But if you can give advice, you don't need to cover up your true feelings. Long time to cape alone."

Lilya was relieved because the guy seemed to 'understand' the situation, but...

"But if not that people will be mistaken and so arbitrarily." Lilya looked at her two clenched hands in her lap.

"Hmmm... You're the kind of person who doesn't feel good, huh? Can't refuse people's requests?" Again the guy guessed exactly. "Trust me, you can still be a friendly person and have boundaries to 'reject'."

"Emang can be yes.." for Lilya who is used to seeing things in black and white, of course such a thing feels impossible.

"Can dong. Don't amp the cake, people are fine, but you're even pretentious an jutek."

Lilya. Slowly a feeling of guilt filled him. Just because he had experienced something bad before, doesn't mean that everyone deserves to be treated like that.

"That's nothing to think about. Enjoy it," the man thrust his last packet of bread into the face of Lilya. "Oh yes, inget if the same cave you can not boong so rather than shy yourself, mending honest from the beginning."

Lilya received the bread. "How can you do all this?"

"I love the same dead human expression. If you can the cave wants to be a researcher so you can learn human expression for life," he replied with confidence.

Unknowingly Lilya was chuckling. This was his first time meeting someone like him. They did not know each other, but he managed to read everything exactly from just facial expressions.

Somehow a calming feeling of relief began to fill Lilya's heart. Just like Mira, the guy can understand and see the true identity of Lilya. It might not hurt to live by your heart and start all over again.

With a lighter feeling, Lilya stuck out her hand. "Gue Lilya, who are you?"

The man smiled, and shook Lilya's hand. "Call me Arvin."
