Crescencia
Chapter 5

Crescencia's short steps swung lightly into the classroom. Her beautifully scattered hair was swept away by the wind. A smile was still plastered on his tiny lips when he found Nando who was looking at him annoyed.

"Nando, the angry one, died" whined Crescencia trying to persuade Nando. But Nando's pair of eyes increasingly glared at him.

"BODO VERY MUCH!"

"Jude." Crescencia snorted caving in, then put themselves on the bench sitting. A pair of round eyes of his directly pounded towards Ara who was struggling with a pen and book in her hand.

"What is it like?"

"Huh?" Chief Ara looked over quickly. Both of Ara's hands swiftly closed the pages of the book. Didn't want to show Crescencia any of it. Ara's lips moved in panic and looked very unsettled. While Crescencia immediately frowned. In his mind he asked, why does Ara look so sweet? Just like the neighboring mango.

Ara shook her head and flipped the book she was writing. Just put it in his desk locker. "Ga-gaada."

"Ara why?" Crescencia stared more and more at the boy. "The face of Ara keralikan."

"Huh?" Ara reflex touched her face. And sure enough, his palm was instantly wet.

"Ara sick?"

"Huh.., Keep Calm Ara, and don't panic!" Now Ara is seen talking to herself by taking her breath out repeatedly. Crescencia is getting confused.

After feeling calm, Ara turned her head back, lifting both corners of her lips to see her sweet smile. "I'm okay."

Crescencia raised one eyebrow. A little doubt about his friend. But seeing Ara's smile made Crescencia avoid her shoulders a sign of understanding. 

"What's the basket for? Catch monkeys?" Ara shifted the topic by pointing at the plastic basket on the Crescencia table.

"There's no monkey here, Ara!" Crescencia grunting. Grab the basket and open the lid. "Yesterday night Icha make steamed bread. So five dozen. Icha take it to school to share."

"Well, you want dong!"

Cree's head nodded in agreement. I gave Ara one of her steamed buns with pleasure.

"How's it feel?" ask Crescencia expectantly.

A pair of round eyes. Staring at Crescencia in amazement. "Good boy, Cha! Seriously Icha you make it yourself?"

Crescencia nodded happily. Her lips grew as her head looked back.

"Eh, Cha! Where are you going?" asked Ara who saw Crescencia move from her seat.

"Icha wants to give bread to Nando. He's angry with Icha again."

"Nando?"

Crescencia nodded small. He walked over to Nando with his bread basket. Meanwhile, Ara continued to watch Crescencia with the bread still in her hand.

"Ndoo ...." Crescencia put themselves on the bench next to the empty Nando. Nando who was playing games on his phone glanced at Crescencia, before returning to focus on his phone screen.

"Ndo, that expensive sell-off guy—"

"Bodo very!"

"Gee! Icha ain't done talking, Nando!"

"Bodo very!"

Crescencia closed her eyes tightly. Breathing in long breaths. Refrain from snapping at the person next to him. Despite holding the half-dead hunk, Crescencia still tried to be patient. Because the patient guy quickly had a girlfriend.

Crescencia took out one of its breads. Lifting the bread in front of Nando's face. So that it blocks Nando's vision. Wanting to not want to, Nando finally turned his head and showed an annoyed look.

"What?" sharp Nando.

"Icha make steamed bread. It's good, Ara likes it."

Nando stared at the bread in front of him. His forehead began to form a crease. The cell phone in his hand he put into a uniform pocket. His gaze now did not escape staring at Crescencia who was smiling sweetly.

"Eat, Nando."

"Lo want my poisonin?" nando asked suspiciously.

Instantly the smile on Crescencia's lips disappeared. Replaced with an upset.

"Have a son! That's bread for me!" Nando took the bread by force. Ignoring the grunts coming out of Crescencia's mouth.

"Don't kid!" nando lebay's.

"Snake dong! Icha make your own loh, that!" crescencia said arrogantly.

"Seriously?! Make yourself?!"

"Yeah! Icha make it yourself!" crescencia was upset. "Why can't anyone believe Icha!"

Nando laughed crisply. His hands stretched out to scramble Crescencia's hair furiously.

"Yes-iyaa, believe." Nando went back to eating the bread with pleasure.

"Believe is like God, Nando! Don't be the same Icha!"

Uhuk! Nando immediately choked on the bread he was chewing. Crescencia who was next to him immediately took the initiative to pat Nando's back very hard, while his lips eloquently read a short surah.

"Well, what do you read?"

"Nando's like a man to die. So Icha lead by prayer."

"A-CHA?!"

Crescencia. Very satisfied to see the frustration in Nando. In that instant, Nando ate his bread brutally, even chewing the bread paper and swallowing it. Showing Crescencia that he was really upset.

...°°°...

"The cha! Canteen, yuk!" Ara moved from her seat. Waiting for Crescencia who is still tidying up her stationery.

"Yes. Wait a minute, Ara."

They both walked away. But Crescencia's steps came to a halt when she saw Ellen, the only friend in her class who did not leave the classroom even though it was time to rest.

"Ellen didn't go to the cafeteria?" Crescencia walked over. Staring at Ellen who was engrossed by herself with a headset in her ear.

"Ellen." Shamelessly, Crescencia took the Ellen headset off just like that. Making the empu immediately aghast in shock and glare.

Crescencia giggled at Ellen who stroked her chest. Ara who saw the incident immediately patted Crescencia on the shoulder in an anxious manner.

"Well, it could be someone's son if you didn't like it, Cha!"

Crescencia. Looking at Ellen who took off the headset on her ear questioningly.

"Ellen want to go with you to the cafeteria?" crescencia repeated the question.

Ellen shook her head slowly in response.

"Did Ellen want to nitip something? From yesterday Icha did not see Ellen Jajan. Is Ellen hungry?"

"Goodoo, Cha! Your son's an introit." Ara clucked in annoyance. "Come on! I'm a laper, here!"

"Oh! Ellen want the bread Icha made?" Crescencia ignored Ara's grievances which were now glaring at her. He went to his table, took his bread basket, and gave Ellen a loaf of bread.

"It's Ellen, eat, yeah! It's delicious!" Crescencia smiled widely.

"Easy? Come on!" The impatient Ara forcefully pulled the arm of Crescencia. Making Crescencia dragged Ara's body higher than her.

Ellen remained silent. He looked at his two friends who had just disappeared behind the door. Ellen's gaze shifted on the steamed bun in her hand. The corner of his lips without cause lifted up, as if a small grin.

Without a sound, Ellen moved from her seat. His steps stopped in front of the classroom door. Ellen's focus now fell on the side of her hand that was squeezing the steamed bun. He just slammed it into the trash.

"So Fucking!"

Ellen smiled pettyly by patting her dirty hands. He put the headset back on both sides of his ear, then went back into the classroom.
