ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 54: WHITE GRAY

Because yesterday did not manage to see Balqis, later in the afternoon Irfan intends to return to the girl's school.

"Gue was afraid he was sick" he said. It was not his voice that was anxious, his facial expression was as well.

As if they knew each other and were familiar. Sigit so resisted the amused grin that was almost imprinted on his lips.

"Let's ajalah. There's also sick parents." Say Sigit.

"Well, if there are parents, then I can't worry, then?" Ask Irfan.

"Worry is free too. Your man's job all this time just mgeliatin doang." Reply Sigit.

Irfan is grimacing...!!!

"Yes anyway. But can I worry about him? Not coming again, Git?" Ask Irfan continued.

"Come away. So curious." Say Sigit.

But just before the bell went home, suddenly there was heavy rain.

"So no, Fan? Ujan nih," whispered Sigit, while still copying the subject matter of Natural Science into his notebook.

"So dong!" irfan also whispered.

And as soon as the bell went home, a few desperate students broke through the torrent of rain, including Irfan and Sigit. The two ran quickly towards the stop not far from the school. But it turns out heavy rain did not fall too long. When they came down at the stop near Balqis school, the rain had completely stopped. Leave cool air and the smell of wet soil.

The two rushed towards the park opposite Balqis school. Not long ago both of them in front of the garden fence, a bell was heard from the school building Balqis. Before long the doors of the classroom opened and students in white-blue uniforms scattered out of it.

The crowd then stopped on the sidewalk in front of the school. The heavy rain was only short, but enough to make the side of the road in front of the Balqis school flooded.

Some children choose to detour, avoiding puddles. While some choose to walk through the puddle slowly and carefully, in the most shallow place.

Suddenly the person they had been waiting for since yesterday appeared. Shooting among the crowd. Irfan. For a moment he could only stare at Balqis straight, without speaking.

Balqis hair that slightly passed over the shoulders was tied to a ponytail. The ties are careless until several strands of hair plunge at the temple and nape. His face was also as Irfan had often seen. Smiling or laughing.

"That's his son!" exclaim Irfan restrained. The arm of Sigit.

"Where?" Sigit immediately dyed looking for.

"Whose hair was in that mess?" Answer Irfan.

"Yes. How's it? Sweet, right?" Ask Irfan.

"Yes, sweetie," Irfan was forced to admit.

"Yes, right?" irfan's pair of eyes that continued to stare at Balqis grew even more radiant.

"But it's different, same thing in the photos? It's not photogenic." Say Sigit.

"Ah, it doesn't matter!" irfan toilet. "Gue is even more fun with natural poses that. Not contrived, do not use makeup first. The photos of the girls in the close up are still, the same originals can be much different, you know! Cheating!" while talking Irfan hurriedly pulled out a digital camera from inside the bag.

"Take another photo?" Sigit looked at him in wonder. "Isn't there already a chocolate envelope? Full, again!"

"This expression doesn't exist yet" Irfan replied while placing the target into the frame.

Sigit bobbing head.

Irfan pressed the small button on his digital camera twice, then satisfiedly looked at the results. He put the camera back in the bag, and his attention immediately returned to Balqis.

"But it's like a wayward kid, huh?" chirps Sigit.

"Yes, um." Irfan chuckles amusedly. "Not wayward anyway. It's just a matter of people. I think I've told you before." Irfan.

Just now that Irfan's sentence was finished, Balqis who had been walking quietly while chatting and laughing with her friends, with a sudden and unexpected movement, was, jump into a puddle of rain in front of the school sidewalk.

Instantly there were loud screams, along with dirty brownish water splashing in all directions. Landing on uniforms, skirts, sweaters, bags and all the objects that are right in the splash line.

"Balqis, this shirt I still want to wear once again tomorrow, you know!"

"Balice! I can be at omelin mamah!"

"Balqis, this is the new uniform!"

However, the angry screams of his friends even made Balqis laugh amusedly, his voice was loud as well. Seeing that Irfan so laugh out loud. He looked at Balqis and her mischievous behavior with an increasingly clear highlight showing his feelings.

"It's funny, isn't it a kid?" he said to Sigit in the middle of a laugh.

"That's so sweet, kali!" Sigit bobbing head.

But finally he also could not help but laugh when the anger of Balqis friends even made Balqis's fad more so.

Still on the puddle of dirty water that had been splashed in the direction of his friends, Balqis then jogged in various styles. His friends grew increasingly upset and eventually tried to catch him.

"We take care of Balqis, and ask her to be holy. It's delicious!" yell at one of the kids. Balqis immediately stopped her jog show and fled.

"Cursue! Pursue the Balqis...!"

Balqis ran away, but still laughing. Behind him, his friends immediately chased. While still noisily screaming.

"Yeah, Git!" Suddenly Irfan patted Sigit on the shoulder, then ran fast, trying to track down Balqis who was running on the opposite side of the road.

Sigit was momentarily left empty, but then immediately chased after. Irfan easily caught up and was in front of Balqis. As the road turned, Irfan ran across. Behind him, Sigit ran following while dumbstruck. As soon as he reached the other side of the road, Irfan stopped his run. With a breath he stood waiting. His heart is beating hard. Not only because of running, but also because of one action that he will soon do.

Before long Balqis appeared around the corner. And as soon as the girl crossed in front of him ….

"Korpis...!"

Balqis stopped her run in shock.

Irfan looked at him with wonder.

"Gumpet behind the tree, spit!" Irfan pointed at one of the shade trees on the road behind him. Balqis did not move. He stared at the man in the High School uniform in front of him in wonder, strange, confused, and suspicious. Balqis did not know Irfan was half dead suppressing his nervousness.

"Elo was so late. Elo-temen seems really angry. If you're sitting, you can.., '" Irfan smirked funny. "Dilelepin in the dirty water puddle that elo cipratin was like that." Irfan.

The sound of his friends who continue to squeal his name makes Balqis can not long think.

"Missy!" urge Irfan. "Later hunt them down!" Further.

After looking at the corner behind him and realizing his friends were soon to appear, Balqis finally obeyed Irfan's advice. He hid behind the tree Irfan had pointed at. Sigit who arrived later canceled expressed his astonishment because the explanation was in sight.

"Help me cover him up, Git!" irfan cried as soon as his best friend appeared. Without asking again, Sigit immediately complied.

With a standing position that is not so obvious when hiding Balqis, Irfan and Sigit stand flanking the tree. Behind the tree, Balqis curled up deeply while laughing amusedly.

"Kalo gagging don't laugh," Irfan scolded softly. "Freely protected." Further.

"Yes. Ja. Sorry." Balqis tried to stop her laughter.

"As soon as the elo-temens are over, get ready to run back in the original direction, yes. You're getting home on the bus, you gotta get to the stop." Irfan.

"okay!" balqis replied and he laughed again.

"Don't laugh!" hiss Irfan.

"Yes. Excuse me. Can't stand it." The girl covered her mouth with her palm. Sigit watched the event with a smile.

Before long Balqis' friends appeared, still with angry and angry exclamations.

"That, his son ran there!" point Irfan to the end of the road on the right.

"Thank you, brother!" the girls thanked him almost simultaneously, then ran in the direction Irfan pointed.

After waiting for a few seconds, Irfan gave the command, "Balqis, run!"

Flanked by Irfan and Sigit on the left and right, Balqis ran in the original direction. They ran as fast and as quietly as possible. But the girl did not manage to hold back her laughter. Amidst the gasping breath, he laughed amusedly.

At the stop, the three stopped running. Balqis bowed her body, between running out of energy and stomach pain from laughing. After her breathing returned to normal, the girl re-enforced her body. He saw two strangers who had helped him.

"Thank you, yes" he said, with an amused smile ready to turn into laughter. Irfan and Sigit nodded almost simultaneously.

"Do you know my name is Balqis?" Tanya Balqis later.

"Yes youah. The screams of your friends are like that," replied Irfan, making Balqis laugh again.

"But actually if today is safe is also free. Tomorrow I'll have a rame-rame" he said, making Irfan and Sigit laugh. "OK deh. Very thanks yes. I first, because the bus is coming." Balqis pointed to the bus whose route passed through his house, which was heading towards the stop where they were standing.

"OK." irfan nodded.

"Eh, yes. What's your name?" Balqis asked, Irfan immediately misbehaved.

"Nh…. Irfan," he said, in a low voice.

"Who?" Balqis.

"Irfan...!" Sigit that repeats.

"Oh…!" Balqis. "You boy?" his eyes then looked at Sigit.

"Sywere...!" Answer Sigit.

"Okay, Irfan, Sigit. Yes first. Again, very tanks. Goodbye." Balqis waved her hand and approached the front door of the bus. The laughter reappeared. The two men returned the wave, so could not help but smile amusedly as well.

Irfan let go of Balqis with a smile and a look of affection. The count was until the bus was completely gone at the end of the road, and Sigit crossed, waiting for their own bus at the opposite stop.

"It looks like you can now approach the maximum deh ma tuh girl, Fan!" Say Sigit.

"No ah. He's still in First High School. He wants a graduation exam. Poor thing. Later I can disturb the concentration of learning." Irfan said understandingly.

"Wait for him High School is still a long time, again. It's still a few months away." Say Sigit.

"It's okay. From Macarin a First High School kid. Still underage. Mending me wait for him to pack white gray!" Irfan smiled.
