ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 70: THE LOWEST POINT

The next day, in various ways Cevin tries to provoke the anger of Balqis. At least make the girl upset and finally want to open her mouth. Often the reason for Cevin's anger was as if he was looking for, but Balqis tried hard to refrain from being provoked.

Patience, patience. Patient people loved God, he said in his heart when Cevin rebuked him sharply just because he was biting the lid of his pen.

Patience, patience. The patient man dear to God, Balqis said again in his heart as Cevin rebuked him amid the lessons of history. Feeling bored, the girl ignored the teacher's explanation in front and chose to be busy scribbling her notebook.

Obviously Cevin took advantage of the opportunity. Balqis reprimanded with sharp words of course in the form of whispers because the class is silent and the teacher is explaining in front. The man ended his rebuke by ordering Balqis to listen to the lesson and record what was on the board.

Instead of Cevin's tirade there was a second part, Balqis chose to obey the order. Of course by not forgetting to mutter his mainstay sentence in the heart: Patient people dear to God.

Aamij! Aamij! Aamij!

Not until an hour later, in the midst of chemistry lessons, Balqis had to echo the mainstay sentence in his heart. Cevin scolded her in a low voice, thinking Balqis was dumbstruck during class. Although it seemed to not care, Balqis did not bother to grumble as well. This guy can not be differentin people bengong same people who think anyway!

Overall, though, the final result for today despite desperately restraining the angry Balqis successfully refrained from all Cevin's lure and none of their classmates realized that between Cevin and Balqis was going on the events of "Dog barking, caravan of the bodo period".

As soon as the bell went home, Balqis breathed a sigh of relief. The release of his books and writing instruments and then immediately ran away. The girl came home with relief and without burden. All his irritation and resentment vanished as soon as he ran away from Cevin's side and decided he wouldn't think about the weirdness of the guy. It was Cevin who was getting more emotional. Furious, he stared at Balqis who walked out of the classroom with quick steps. While tidying up his books and stationery, as well as occasionally replying to a classmate's hand, Cevin determined that tomorrow he should be able to force Balqis to open his mouth and respond to all his actions.

When Balqis was able to return home with relief, Cevin was just the opposite. Again he felt a foreign atmosphere that made him restless.

The next day, Cevin leaves school determined "It must be possible to make Balqis open her mouth". Got to! Incidentally today there are sports subjects in the first and second hours. So there were plenty of opportunities forcing Balqis to confront her without attracting the attention of classmates.

After replacing the uniform with sports jerseys and shorts, Cevin took to the field with other classmates. His brain thought hard, looking for a way for his determination to be accomplished.

The faster the better...!!!

But not to mention the way it was found, Cevin was stuck in the middle of the stairs. He stopped stepping and stood with his gaze fixed straight to a point on the field.

Hair pickets are never neat. Keiket origin. But it made her even sweeter.

One of the points in the record that Irfan left behind, is now in plain sight. Striking Cevin hard and making him re-experience the alien feeling.

With both jaws tightly clenched, Cevin approached Balqis who was on the volleyball court with other classmates. Without talking, the pull of the rubber binding Balqis hair until detached so that the girl's hair decomposes.

Balqis looked surprised. Cevin greeted the shocked look in hopes of a protest coming out of Balqis' mouth, at least a grunt, so there was a reason for him to continue attacking the girl with words. But Balqis did not make the slightest sound. Not only because the girl remembered with her own determination not to be provoked, but also because she was shocked by Cevin's actions.

A few seconds passed, and Cevin cursed in his heart as Balqis regained consciousness. Finally he grabbed one hand of Balqis and placed the hair-binding rubber on his palm. Then Cevin turned around and left.

Balqis could only stare with her mouth agape. So did the classmates who witnessed it. When his consciousness had returned, Balqis grumbled inwardly while tying back her hair. Stick with his signature style. Origin binding. Messy.

"Come, continue! It's my turn to serve, right?" he shouted towards his friends who were still standing still, fascinated by the incident earlier. They're realized. The six girls who became the opposing team Balqis immediately shifted far out of the field.

"Cock on the search!?" exclaims Balqis wonder.

"Elo is normal, Qis. Where's the field, where's the serve!" exclaim Ririn.

Balqis. Since Secondary School, Balqis is famous for sports. Except running. Especially if the sport is in the form of teamwork, such as basketball or volleyball.

Friends who are part of a team with Balqis are usually immediately discouraged.

"Well, there's Balqis. Definitely lose deh..," they said every time they finished forming a team.

Next that will usually be heard are the calls that are currently being hurled by his friends.

"Balqis should not be told to serve. The ball's going everywhere!"

That's volleyball. Basketball is usually…!!!

"The ball was kicked, Qis. Abis lo kalo drible ngaco."

"Specifically for Balqis, if he can throw a ball up to three-quarters of the pole, consider that the ball almost entered the ring. At least his lips ring."

Balqis was just laughing at it, because it was common. But on the other side of the field, someone does not think of it as something funny. Quite the contrary.

Cevin stood by. The return of foreign sensations that alarmed him. In just less than ten minutes, another point in the record Irfan had left behind, was in front of him.

Bego sports. There is no sport that he can do. Except run or run.

With a furious return to Balqis. There is one way that the girl does not become the girl that Irfan mentioned in his note.

"Sorry! Sorry are! Break it for a second, huh!?" cevin exclaimed, raising his hands together to form the letter T and smiling broadly. Cevin enters the field. The girls immediately stopped the game. Unconcerned by the gazes of his friends, Cevin approached Balqis. Without speaking, the hair ties of Bakqis are smoothed. Really neat, until there is not a single strand of hair that is not bound except bangs.

"It's a real hair picket!" Cevin rebuked sharply and with a fierce expression.

Cevin was hoping Balqis would open his mouth. He was no longer interested in prolonging their quarrel like yesterday. He just wanted Balqis to talk.

But Balqis remained silent. Although from his facial expression it was clear that the girl was really upset, also embarrassed. It's on the field, and sports aren't just their class. Just be ashamed!

Meanwhile their friends watched the scene with gape and questioning looks. But they also have to admit, for the pair of fightmen Cevin models the same Balqis, I swear, that was a romantic scene abis!

No one knows that the reason Cevin did that was because Balqis staged a silent stunt, also because this time Cevin realized his efforts were back galal.

After once again convincing the girl's hair ties were really neat, Cevin whispered in Balqis' ear and threatened to softly, "You don't want me to come and pick your hair again, don't take it off!" threatening slowly. Then he turned back, "OK, please go ahead!" he shouted while leaving the field.

"Bego his sport" Balqis is indeed hopelees. Can't be fixed right now. But at least, her hair ties are now neat. So this is not the Balqis that Irfan saw.

***

Once again this time Balqis came home with relief and without burden. It turns out that if it is not taken care of and not thought about it does not make emotions, right? He said in his heart. The girl walked towards the stop with light steps. While Cevin just getting more emotional, and more emotion when he saw Balqis standing among the crowd of students who were waiting for the bus at the stop.

Through the corner of the eye, Balqis also knows the presence of Cevin. The girl was very grateful because the bus she was carrying had arrived. So he survived. As soon as the bus stopped in front, Balqis hurriedly boarded and disappeared inside the belly of the passenger-laden public vehicle.

"Bad fuckin' girl! Goddamnit!" Cevin cursed softly. But as soon as the bus that Balqis was riding drove away, somehow Cevin again felt that.

The anxiety persisted. Accompany him on the way home. Join him while eating lunch, until Cevin barely felt what he was eating.

By nightfall, the uneasiness makes Cevin even more chaotic and explodes right at dark noon. And Cevin was stunned.

Now he knows for sure what has been making him nervous lately. Because Balqis no longer makes a sound. Because that girl is really tight-lipped. Because the girl is blatantly acting as if she is invisible, as if she does not exist.

Now Cevin is also convinced, foreign feelings are reaching his heart lately, because Balqis has made him stand in the same place as Irfan!

Put it outside the circle. Can only see. Can only watch. And can only be silent.

Then Cevin realized he was starting to be denounced by fear. The fear that turned out to make his anger subsided to the lowest point, and finally disappeared.

Can't! Cevin shook his head involuntarily. Balqis can't put me in the same place as Irfan, Cevin thought. Irfan is gone. He's not around anymore.
