Changing the Love of the Past
27

The four of us went back to class together.

"Tumben Leo you want to go to the cafeteria?" Sasa curious. He wanted to ask in the cafeteria but all the children were watching us. Even eating is not comfortable talking the same.

"The one who's convinced I'm you."

"We don't want to, but Dinda doesn't have to." Loly said in an irritated tone.

"But the kids are on why the hell, their job is just looking at our table. I lost my appetite. They know we're not worried about seeing that."

"More precisely Leo." Loly pressed on those words. I saw Leo who was silent. They don't like them the same Leo.

A few minutes later we arrived at the class, and it was very fitting because the ending bell of the break rang.

Teacher gets into class, we collect English assignments. And students who don't work on it get a penalty of standing in front of the class on one leg during lesson hours. Leo also stood in front of the class on one leg. Only this time Leo followed the words of the teacher's mother, usually he would always argue with them. But when the teacher explained the material in front of me, I felt like I was being noticed by Leo. His eyes were teary as if he wanted to cry. What exactly happened to him? Why is he acting so strange today.

On the third break, I followed Leo who walked into the back garden where children rarely go. But when I got to the park I couldn't find Leo. I looked around hoping to find his tracks. I was shocked when someone pulled my body to the side and hugged me tightly. I tried to let go of the hug, but the power was greater than mine.

"Sorry... I'm sorry." Leo's voice shakes. I could feel her tears wetting my shoulders. I don't really understand what happened to him. What makes him so sad. I feel responsible for that. I stroked his back to provide amusement as well as calm himself.

"Why you?" I ask carefully.

Leo seemed surprised and immediately let go of his hug.

"I didn't mean it, sorry."

"Oh, that's okay. If you have a problem you can tell."

"It's nothing, I just miss someone. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable." Leo wiped the tears on his cheek. He set his breath back to normal.

"I'm sure you must have a problem. You just don't want to tell a story."

"Surely, I'm not lying. This is because I miss someone and I accidentally vent it on you."

"You don't have to talk to me. We're friends."

"Do you want to be friends with someone like me?"

"What's the problem? Never underestimate yourself, okay. You also have the right to be friends with everyone. For those who always insult you, they are just trash that is not the same level as you."

Leo laughed at my words.

"Nothing funny about my words." I'm a little upset.

"Sorry. It's just spontaneous. I didn't mean to. But thank you for the words of his comforter."

"Yes... "

"If I need your help."

"Whatever it is I'll help you with. Just don't be weird."

"alright. By the way, what do you need me to do?"

"No, I was just following you, but I don't know what my goal is either."

"Thank you for caring about me."

I replied with a smile.

"Eh if that's how I go back first yes, then look for Loly and Sita."

I met Sita and Loly who were cool with girls.

"Where are you from?" Ask Sita

"I have a little business outside."

"Definitely meet guys." All the girls who heard Loly's words cheered on me in unison.

"Ciecieeeeeee"

"Not you misunderstood. I just have some business outside of meeting no one."

"Eh Dinda, what are you doing with Leo in the back garden?" Ask Damar who just got into class.

"Leo?"

"Don't be the same Leo..." Loly looked at me with a face that held a myriad of questions.

"Don't think of anything weird." I put out that fire of his spirit.

"So I had a little business with him."

"We don't believe."

"As much as you want to believe anything."

"Truely, Dinda said, we have nothing to do, so you don't assume nothing." Said Leo who might have heard our conversation. Leo walked up to his desk with a snatched face. As usual, take a sleeping position. Thanks to Leo's arrival the kids stopped talking about it. But when Leo said we didn't have any relationship somehow I felt sick huh? We were already friends. He just stayed to say that.
