ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 80: THE SOUL IS ETERNAL

Not only that...!!!

Cevin also picked up and drove Balqis home. Every day...!!! While another form of protection that guy did once Balqis was no longer with him was to send him an SMS or call him, to make sure the girl was in good shape.

Balqis was obedient. He replies to every SMS and answers every phone. But long ago the girl got bored too. Because the sound of every SMS and phone Cevin always "Lo fine, right?", at least twice a day, long Balqis so stressed also like a child taking drugs that are always in the ingetin. It's not even okay, is it?

Once Balqis turned off her phone to escape briefly from Cevin's overprotective. But his efforts made his home phone ring. Then she heard Cindy's voice, her mother answered the question, and then her mother appeared in the room, asking what was the matter between Balqis and Cevin. Balqis could not answer because he himself did not know. The girl got into new trouble, because Cindy, her mother thought she had a serious problem but didn't want a story.

Leaving the phone just like that without caring about SMS and phone from Cevin, it was also not a way out. The incoming SMS became tangled and the phone was ringing continuously. Make your head break. Balqis emotions finally peaked. When then he picked up the phone, ready to get angry, Cevin turned out to be even more fierce.

"Why isn't my SMS exchanged!?" from across directly sounded Cevin's voice with a sharp tone.

"Bosen, know! It's just the same. Call that-that too." Answer Balqis.

"Balqis, the horrors!?" Cevin hissed with an increasingly sharp tone. "Gue is worried about you, Qis. That's why I'm SMS, I'm calling. If you don't bales my SMS, don't pick up the phone, you make me worry more." Answer Cevin casually.

"And every day I go home? Why are you still sending SMS and calling?" Balqis asked reminded Cevin.

"Gue's just nganter, Qis. Nginep. And that was this afternoon. Now it's nine o'clock. How many hours is it? A lot can happen, you know!" Cevin's alibi won't lose.

"But I'm at home!" Balqis reply is more reasonable.

"No matter where you are!" cevin.

"Anyway, my SMS bales! If I call, pick up!" Cevin turned off the phone. Balqis stomped her feet.

"Damn! Authoritarian!" he throws the phone into the bed.

Across the street, Cevin was stunned. With a cell phone in hand. He knew that his fear had caused him to be too harsh on Balqis. But he doesn't know any other way. He hoped, in this way Irfan could not "Take" Balqis. The girl continues to be under the supervision of both her parents and the supervision of Cevin.

If it could, whatever its brother is now, the soul is eternal. Cevin hopes that the heart will also remain as the soul.

***

The next morning, when he was about to go to school and check the contents of his wallet, Cevin only realized that his pocket money was really tight. He did not realize that every day SMS and call Balqis had drained the contents of his wallet to buy pulses. While the schedule of getting a monthly allowance is still far away.

Cevin's brain continues to calculate the remaining allowance, plus a little savings, roughly how long it can last. It could save transportation and reduce snacks, but until when?

Busy thinking about this, Cevin doesn't remember breakfast. As a result at this time, while tracing the sidewalk to Balqis' house, her stomach was wrapped around the hunger.

It's good to eat breakfast at Balqis' house? Crazy, laper! He said in his heart. Then the guy clucked and smiled discordantly. Last night I was mad at that chick, and now I'm asking for food? So tragic!

Hunger and busy heads considering hitchhiking to eat kept Cevin from focusing on the streets in front of him. Suddenly one hard blow landed on his back. The man shouted loudly, in shock and pain. He turned back in body. A father greeted him with an angry look.

"You know if the cement is not dry yet!?” snapped it.

Cevin. Not far from his feet, there is one small area in the form of a layer of cement that is still wet, to cover the hole so as not to get wider and endanger road users. Both traces of his shoes were clearly imprinted there. It is fitting that the father became angry.

"Sorry, sir. Sorry.." Cevin bent down. "I'm not squirming."

"Eatya if the road is not while daydreaming. So you can look around. There go!" throw that guy out. While grabbing a small bucket of mortar he glared at Cevin.

Cevin hurriedly left. When she reached Balqis' house, the girl was waiting for her on the porch. Looks scowling.

"Yeah!" Balqis immediately took Cevin away. But when he saw Cevin's pale face, Balqis asked, "Cock you look so tangled? Not breakfast yet?"

"Mmmm…." Cevin. Balqis looked at him with a clumsy smile. "I.iya."

"Huh!?" Balqis. "Where the hell are you? How can you learn if you don't eat breakfast?" Balqis.

"Yaaah.." Cevin widened his smile.

"Oath, Qis. It hurts so much." Cevin touched his back carefully with one hand. Balqis glanced at him, still with a look of annoyance.

"Bread, huh? Eating while walking. If we eat here, we're late." Balqis.

"OKAY. Lo sweet really," Cevin immediately threw a compliment.

"Semalem you're angry, now I give you breakfast. If you still say I'm ugly, I really love the poison in your loaf!" grumbled Balqis while turning over and walking inside. Cevin looked at her while grinning. But the grin disappeared as soon as Balqis was out of sight. Cevin still felt that what happened to him today was no coincidence.

Before long Balqis came out, with a sprig of bread and a glass of mineral water. Cevin hastily changed his facial water.

"It's peanut butter. There is only this" said Balqis, taking out the bread. Cevin accepted it swiftly.

"This is okay too. Yuk, go. Where is your Nyokap? Wanna pay a shit." Celvin.

"Make it in the kitchen. I said it earlier." Balqis.

Both of them stepped out.

***

Until mid-afternoon, when Cevin walked down the road to his house, the pain in his back from the blow this morning did not go away. Cevin again thought, what happened to him today must not be a coincidence.

All of a sudden he saw the "Tanda" once, one day when he and Irfan were in Primary School. Their first serious argument. Cevin had forgotten what the cause was, with a stick of Irfan hitting him hard on the back.

Cevin remembered that the incident made him cry, after he had previously screamed loudly and Bi Puji was moved. The ordinary middle-aged woman was patient to anger. He snatched the twig from Irfan's hand and threatened to do the same if once again Irfan dared to hit his sister like that.

The faint memories that were suddenly recalled again so vividly it made Cevin flinch. His steps stopped suddenly. Unable to be prevented, his heart pounded hard upon realizing the cause of all the events that had befallen him today.

Irfan's angry!

***

It had been fifteen days since Cevin entered the room with a stubborn heart and mixed thoughts. For a long time, he stood in front of a photo of Irfan. His gaze was fixed on the two eyes in the photo. A pair of eyes were laughing, but Cevin did not catch that impression at the moment.

There were many sentences that had been thrown out in that silence for quite a long time. Cevin did not want to call his current stance a challenge. He had no intention of hurting Irfan.

Absolutely...!!!

But Balqis belongs to this world, and the girl knows nothing. So let Balqis stay here. That's what Cevin's pleading with his brother. A plea echoed in his heart but he was sure Irfan could hear it.

Let Balqis stay. Which means, Cevin also begged that the brother would also let go….

This morning, once again with both eyes looking straight at the two eyes in the photo, Cevin repeated his plea, in silence and with a defiant posture.

After ten minutes of standing in front of Irfan's photo, Cevin turned the body upside down. Watch the clock on the wrist. Holy hooch! Five minutes from schedule he had to leave. He dropped his school bag, without checking its contents, then rushed out of the house.

The first bus passed, full. Cevin was standing at the door. Arriving at Balqis' house, the girl was already heavy-handed.

"At late anyway? My phone didn't pick up, anymore." welcome Balqis as soon as Cevin shows up in front of the fence.

"Where are you? Want to say goodbye immediately," said Cevin directly.

The image ran inside, shortly appearing with Cindy, the mama. Cevin went straight, as did Balqis. Accompanied by Balqis's mama gaze, Cevin and Balqis turned back and ran out of the courtyard. The two continued to run along the alley and the sidewalk by the highway. Whenever Balqis was left behind, Cevin grabbed her one hand and pulled her.

Stabbed, they saw their school bus just left the bus stop. Both of them call. Cevin yelled, Balqis screamed. The bus stopped. Although the student is the type of passenger who has absolutely no potential to give an advantage, the hysteria of the two students makes the driver could not bear to leave them behind.

The bus was full, but both did not care. The important thing is to reduce the percentage of delay. Cevin told Balqis to go up first, then he followed. For the second time this morning, the guy had to stand at the door. This time with Balqis he had to take care of. He had to be held with his back every time the bus turned to the right.

As soon as the bus stopped at the front stop of the school, the two immediately jumped down and ran as fast as they could towards the school. Turns out the gate was closed. The bell just rang. The two begged the security guard to open the gate a little, because there was still a little time before the picket teacher came and before the first hour teacher arrived in the classroom.
