The school holidays after Alex did not show any signs of declaring his love.
At Vina and Toni's suggestion,
Sandra started to keep her distance from the man.
SMS was not answered, the phone was not picked up, at school, there was a father who picked him up.
It's been almost two weeks Sandra's been indifferent to Alex.
Sandra realized, almost every hour home, the man was waiting for her not far from school.
Lucky dad always picked her up since the new school year.
So Sandra can avoid Alex.
Since rising to third grade, Sandra and Vina are no longer active in the activities of OSIS as well as extracurricular.
Third-graders only focus on studying to prepare for the national exam next year.
Sandra and Vina were good students, but their parents put them into an educational institution like tutoring for national exams.
It's been a month since Sandra's been out of touch with Alex.
For two weeks now, Sandra has not seen the man waiting for her.
There was a sense of loss, but Sandra tried to shake off her feelings, her priority was to graduate with satisfactory grades, also accepted in public universities.
Because he began to actively take tutoring at educational institutions, Sandra was no longer invited by Wijayanto.
Sandra will piggyback Vina towards the tutoring place using a motorbike.
At Les's place the two will meet Toni.
Although Sandra and Vina are SMK students, it is not wrong not to take lessons.
Les had just finished at half-time five in the afternoon, Sandra again hugged Vina who was followed by Toni behind her.
The three students' daily routine activities from Monday to Friday.
Weekend if there is no family event the three will spend time together, just watch a movie, eat at the mall or at Vina's house while enjoying cakes made by Yuli.
Mama Vina often gets orders for either pastries or wet cakes, usually assisted by the three teenagers, more pecking anyway.
It didn't feel like two months had passed, Sandra and Alex were no longer in touch.
From Toni, Sandra so know, if Alex is often like that, there are some school friends Toni who became a victim of Alex.
Sandra felt lucky to know early, at least her joy was not too deep.
The sense of loss must be there but not until the heartbreak, anyway for him there is also a meeting there is separation.
Sandra's days are going as they should be, she's quite happy, Vina and Toni are always with her.
One afternoon Sandra came home from tutoring alone, Vina did not even go to school because she was having a fever at home, there was no Vina, Toni was the same, the man was looking after his girlfriend after school.
This is the first time, Sandra went home alone, her father and mother last night returned to Semarang, there was a celebration of one of the brothers there, just two days.
Sandra walked towards the ojek base not far from her tutoring spot, about fifty meters away.
Until a green sport bike, blocking the way.
Sandra widened her eyes, she had not expected to see the man again after such a long time.
Because of Alex's true nature, which she heard from her best friend, Sandra chose to avoid, but her hand was blocked by the man.
"Sa, Lo why avoid me anyway? am I wrong, are you?"ask Alex who took off his helmet.
Sandra looked at the hand that was holding her wrist, "Lo who?"ask Sandra flat.
Alex gaping to get a question like that, "astaga Sasa, chief lo banged how? lo Amnesia?"the question is not thought out.
Sandra pursed her lips, "I mean, who am I? we're not school or neighbors, so there's no reason for me to know Lo,"
"Why do you Gini the Sa? I made the same mistake, you? as I recall we were all right, last met, but suddenly sms not dales, the phone was not picked up, and suddenly very difficult to find, Lo avoid me, actually lo why?"
"we don't have any relationship to be deket, so mending let go of your hand, I want to go back, it's late afternoon," said Sandra trying to brush Alex's hand.
"Gue interracial,"
"no, I want to ride a motorcycle, "push Sandra.
"Come on Sa, don't get me to please" Alex said, "okay, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry, but please let me drop you!"
Sandra shakes,
"okay, if you don't want me to take it well, then you want to be forced, right?"after saying so, Alex pulls Sandra's hand towards her bike, even though the woman is rebelling, Alex doesn't care.
The man forcibly took Sandra's backpack and draped it around her neck,
Alex put a helmet and a jacket on the girl's waist, then lifted a little so that Sandra immediately sat in the back seat of the bike.
Alex starts to run his bike, but Sandra does not hold his waist, so he deliberately increases the speed of his vehicle, until a bulge hits his back.
There was a faint smile on the lips of the nineteen-year-old next year.
Alex's motor passes through the housing where Sandra lives, the girl behind him pats her on the shoulder,
Until the motor stops right in front of the gate.
Alex got off the bike and so did Sandra.
"whose house is this? why do you keep bringing me here?"sandra asked who saw Alex open the black gate lock.
"House of Soejono," replied Alex,
The gate opened, and the man led his motorcycle inside.
Sandra was silent, confused between having to follow him or just go home, but her backpack was still on the man.
"Lex, my bag is turning, I'm coming back, it's late in the afternoon,"Sandra's love is still standing at the beginning.
Alex had parked the bike, but Sandra did not come in, the man sighed, "here in Sasa, when I had to force you anyway?"
"Gue wants to go back, we're not that close, so I need to meet at Lo's house" Sandra said.
"Yes already if you don't want to go in, it means your backpack, I'm not behind," said Alex as he turned inside.
Sandra clucked, her phone and wallet in her backpack, and she had to follow the man.
Sandra passed through the terrace and was welcome to come in and sit down.
Sandra looked around the living room, there was a family photo, it seemed that when the photo was taken, Alex was a child.
From the photo, Sandra so know, if Alex has an older sister, and the man looks more like his mother who seems not native.
"That was the last photo when my family was complete, a month later I died of illness," explains Alex who suddenly came from inside the house carrying a tray containing orange juice.
"drink Sa," Alex bargained, "wouldn't you eat?"tanyakanya.
Sandra drank the orange juice in front of her, until half was left.
"just go back to lex, just a little magrib, not good with bokap and brother lo,"
"They're not home anymore, so relax,"
Silence there was no talk.
"Sa, I'm a laper, I'm cooking yuk," Alex said.
"but I want to go back" Sandra said.
Alex breathed a rough breath, "if so, your bag, I won't turn back,"he threatened.
There was no other choice Sandra followed the man, but to her surprise, while in the living room, right on the television table, she saw the painting of Mary's mother.
It was clear why Alex did not pray that afternoon when they visited the zoo.
"Sa, here," call Alex from the kitchen.
Sandra walked towards the source of the sound.
Alex was in front of the storage cabinet, "want boiled noodles or fried Sa noodles?"tanyakanya.
"fry," Sandra replied.
"pake eggplant, mustard same chili? cornet if you want?"ask Alex again.
"all wear, here I help you,"
The two started cooking the instant noodles together.
"Lo used to be like this Lex?"ask Sandra.
"yes, I'm more likely to work out of town, keep my sister in boarding school,"
"oh,"
"Lo's surprised to see her painting on tv?"
"a little shocked,"
"it is only natural that you are surprised, what is it that makes Lo stay away from me, because I do not follow the prayer time in Ragunan,"
Sandra waved her hand, "gue did not even know that you have different beliefs with me, kirain lo just emang males aja,"
"so what's the reason you stay away from me?"ask Alex.
"there is no reason whatsoever, besides we are not one school, for what deket," Sandra replied casually.
"But Toni's different schools are the same, you can keep going,"
"Toni's Vina's boyfriend, and Vina's my best friend, so it's natural that we're not close, we're also one tutoring place,"
"there must be status first, let me deket same lo,"
"no, it doesn't need to be discussed,"
Alex had finished cooking, he brought the bowl and dishes to the living room, while Sandra brought the mineral water.
The two ate voraciously there was no chatter on the sidelines.
