Desmala Gralind
Keep Distance

The next morning Mala left for school among Adi's men. Arriving at school as usual he did not get along much with other children.

Only Dira, the girl sitting next to him who is always loyal to invite him to chat even though he is not ignored.

"Mala, what's wrong with you?"

"Cock his face so moody?"

"For there to be trouble? you can tell me the same story"

Dira kept trying to get Mala to chat. He knew that Mala was the type of person who was closed and did not want to tell anyone about her problems.

"You have a problem with Rakha?" ask Dira.

Huftttt

Mala gave a rough breath.

"What's the big deal?" ask Dira.

"Dira, can I ask you a favor?" ask Mala.

"Can what?" tanya Dira was enthusiastic.

"Please permit me! I'm going to the UKS, I'm getting sick in the head"

"Surely, would you like me to anther?"

"No, I can do it myself. Thanks for the help"

"Together"

Mala immediately headed for the UKS, I don't know for now he just didn't want to meet Rakha. Because he knew it would only lead to his growing feelings for Rakha. After hearing the debate, Mala's parents and parents became afraid to go further with Rakha. He was afraid that in the end when the relationship was getting closer they had to end it.

Lying on a UKS bed, she stared at the white ceiling. For now, he just wants to be alone and not bother anyone.

Meanwhile, Rakha arrives at Mala's house. Several times he rang the doorbell but there was no word. Until the car driven by Mr. Adi entered the house. Rakha approached the car. Mr. Adi got out of the car and approached Rakha.

"You're a non-Mala friend, right?" ask Mr. Adi.

"Yes, sir, where are you going, sir?" ask Rakha.

"Non Mala has arrived at school, I was the one who delivered"

"Udah off?" ask Rakha in shock.

"Yes, non-Mala doesn't know you?"

"No sir, but maybe I'm late to pick up so Mala left first"

"Yes, maybe"

"Already sir, I'm saying goodbye"

Rakha rode her motorcycle and did it towards school. Arriving at Rakha's school straight to class. But he did not see any Mala in the classroom. But, what makes Rakha surprised is Mala's bag located on top of her desk.

"Where is Mala?" ask Rakha.

"To the UKS, his head hurts"

Hearing that Rakha immediately ran towards the UKS. And sure enough he found Mala sleeping in a UKS bed.

"When you're sick?" rakha asked while stroking Mala's head.

"Cheal fast" he said.

Rakha turned to hold Mala's hand.

"I'm confused, why do I feel like you're avoiding me again"

"But maybe it's just my feeling"

"Don't ever avoid me yeah, I can't"

Rakha kissed Mala's hand.

"I go to class first, I'll come back here again. Rest yes"

Rakha returns to class and leaves Mala in the UKS room. Without Rakha knowing that Mala is not really sleeping. He heard all Rakha's words. He was happy that Rakha had the same feelings as him. But he was also sad because of their family problems, Mala was forced to hold back her feelings. He doesn't want to run aground in the middle of the road.

In the classroom Rakha could not focus on the lesson. He kept thinking about Mala, how is she doing? is Mala awake or not?

Rakha could not stop thinking about Mala. It seems he's stuck with the girl.

After the lesson was over Rakha returned to the UKS but he did not find Mala there.

"Where to?" ask Rakha.

Seeing the UKS nurse passing by Rakha directly questioned him.

"Mom, where is Mala? there is nothing" asked Rakha.

"Picked up?"

"Yes"

Rakha fell silent again, why did it feel like Mala was deliberately avoiding him. What Rakha doesn't know. What really happened to Mala. He was really confused by all this.

Because the lesson hours have not finished Rakha is forced to return to class. He waited until the lesson was over after that he would go straight to Mala's house to ask Mala what really happened. This really makes Rakha very confused.

Meanwhile, Mala who returned home among Adi's men immediately entered the house. It makes Oma Lia surprised because Mala does not usually come home at this hour.

"Mala, is the tumben coming home fast?" ask Oma.

"Yes Oma, Mala's head hurts. Mala wants a break first"

"Your head hurts? let's go to the doctor" Oma.

"No need Oma, mala just need a rest anyway" he could not say Oma's words to be checked into the hospital. Because his headache was just a fabrication made him to avoid Rakha.

"Just so"

Oma let Mala rest in her room.

***

After school, Rakha headed straight to the parking lot. He had to go to Mala's house to see how he was doing. Even Affan and Zayyan who called out to him were ignored.

Arriving at Mala's house, Rakha immediately pressed the doorbell. Several times he rang the doorbell until a middle-aged woman appeared and opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" ask Bi Inem.

"Well, is there a bi?"

"There"

"Can I meet you?"

"But his non Mala is again resting"

"Just a while to bi" said Rakha.

"Let me ask the non-malanya first" reply bi Inem.

"Good bi"

Bi Inem headed straight for Mala's room. However, Oma's call made bi Inem stop.

"Bi Inem, where are you going?" ask Oma.

"To her room non Mala Oma"

"Make what?"

"Outside there is a non Mala friend who nyariin"

"No need, let Mala rest. Let me find that friend"

"Good Oma"

Oma immediately headed for the door to see who wanted to meet Mala.

"What are you doing?" oma's voice came from behind Rakha.

"Who is Grandma?" ask Rakha.

"Omma Mala, what are you looking for Mala?"

"I want to talk to Mala Nek, okay?"

"Remain rest should not be disturbed. Tomorrow you have a conversation with mala again" said Oma firmly.

"Oma's already, I want to carry Mala's bag." said Rakha gave Mala's bag left in the class to her oma.

"Thank you"

Rakha left Mala's house feeling disappointed. Rakha is very confused as to why everyone seems to want to keep him away from Mala.

"Tomorrow I'm here again Mala" he said. Without him knowing if Mala was staring at him from the balcony.

"Rakha, what are you doing here?" inner Mala.

Feeling that someone was watching Rakha straight up. But he didn't see anything. Karna Mala quickly hid before Rakha saw her.

"Mala" sheen. Somehow he felt that Mala was watching him. But he dismissed the thought, maybe it was just his feelings.

"Sorry Rakha, I want to avoid you. Let's not end up sick later" said Mala staring at Rakha's motorbike which had left the yard.
