I'm Just a Figurant
[POV Alex] Ch 90 - You Worry Me

I was relieved to know the reason for crying just because of the value issue. I've been thinking bigger bad things, like something happened to his family.

She looks sweet and pathetic. Sweet because she cries for trivial things like this. It's sad, because what I consider trivial can determine his future.

I've noticed. He really looked like a plain and pitiful little cat. Want me to stroke his head and say, *don't cry, everything will be fine*.

"From now on I'll be your tutor. Get your brains ready to learn, okay?" For now, those words are all I can say.

***

The next few days I taught Khansa a lesson she didn't understand. I'm happy to do it, because I can get to know her better.

Khansa is actually a smart girl. It's just that he might need a mentor to teach the elusive material.

It's not hard to make him understand all my explanations. He really is a smart student. I am proud to be his tutor.

It should be the third day we study together. But when I looked back to the back seat, I did not see his whereabouts. Where the hell is he?

I had intended to go back to look for her, but Diana came back and took me to the cafeteria.

This incident lasted for a few days. I feel Khansa is moving away from me. What's the matter? Did I do anything wrong?

A few days have passed, but it is difficult to communicate with him. Today I should be able to talk to him.

Diana came back to my class. This time I refused his invitation to the cafeteria for various reasons. After Diana left, I started looking for Khansa. Looks like I have a new hobby right now, which is finding my missing cat.

I searched several places, including the back of the school building, but Khansa never found it. I'm starting to worry about him. Where exactly is the boy?

There was another place I forgot to go, the library. I decided to go to that place, who knows my cat was there.

After going through several bookshelves and circling the reading chairs, I finally discovered its existence. Khansa was sitting in the corner of the room. The figure will be difficult to see for people who are not really looking for it. Feeling both happy and at the same time happy to be one. Why did I become like this?

I walked towards Khansa and pulled the chair in front of her. I sat down and crossed my hands.

"So here's your hideout?"

"Why do you know I'm here?" Khansa's face looked nervous.

"Oh, I asked some kids. Someone saw you here. How's it? Do you really understand the material?"

"Eh, oh... Matter physics? Su-can't do it..."

"Related?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Try me to test." I took Khansa's book and gave her some questions. Actually testing it like this is not my main goal. I wonder why he's been avoiding me these few days.

"Khanza..."

"Yes?"

"Why are you avoiding me these few days? Did I do anything wrong?" Khansa seemed ready to ask such a question.

"No... You are never wrong. I just want to learn by myself. I don't think it's good to always depend on you. I want to be more independent."

"You mean?" many confused. It's not usual for Khansa to talk to me like this.

"I want to do everything myself. You don't have to care anymore. Thank you for all your kindness. I hope in the future we don't have to communicate anymore." Khansa tidied up her books, then passed quickly from before me.

***

Feelings of anger, disappointment, sadness and self-blame swirled in my chest. Thinking, what was my mistake to make Khansa say that. It made my mood ugly for days.

I ignored Diana and the other friends. Many times Diana came to the house, but I did not touch her. In the end Diana met my mother and brother more often.

Being able to see, without being able to greet him, was a heavy feeling. Khansa won't communicate with me anymore. What else can I do but sit back and watch her from afar?

Today is also so. My eyes cannot escape from it. He doesn't look well. Face pale. Is she okay?

Khansa stood about a dozen meters from my place. I could see his cold sweat and pale face that seemed to endure the pain. My feelings became unpleasant. Unknowingly the footsteps brought me closer to her.

Khansa is taking a swing to take part in the race. When the cue from the sports teacher came out, he immediately ran as hard as he could.

Without thinking, I also ran on the sidelines. I don't feel good seeing it that way. And. my guess is true.

I see Khansa's body getting dazed. Slowly and slowly began to gradually trace to the ground. I ran as hard as I could to get close to him. Before the body actually fell to the ground, I caught it.

"Khanza!!" Khansa was in my arms. She's fainted. "Khanza!!" I screamed as I patted her on the cheek, trying to make her realize, but those eyes wouldn't open. Feelings of worry, anxiety, fear of becoming one.

"Khanza!! Wake up!! Sadar Khansa!! Khansa!!" I shook his body. While other friends have been calling us. "Whoever!! Call ambulance! Quickly call!! Khansa!! Khansa!!"

"Alex, relax... No need to call an ambulance. Take him to the UKS."

"But Sir..."

"Trust. He's all right. Take him to the UKS. The doctor there can handle it." Mr. Riswan patted me on the shoulder, assuring me that Khansa was fine.

With a single move I lifted Khansa's body and started running, taking her to the UKS room.

BRAK!! I opened the door of the UKS room with my feet.

"Doctor!! Doctor!! Where's doctor?!"

"Hey what is this? Why so much noise?"

"You're doctor?! My friends fainted. He just ran and fainted. What am I supposed to do?!" I don't know myself. Usually I can always control my emotions and see the situation from all sides. But regarding this girl, I can't! I was too emotional to think calmly.

"Silent. Don't worry so much. Put him there." The doctor, named Nina, pointed to one of the beds in the UKS. I immediately went there and laid Khansa's body carefully.

"Then how's Doc?"

"You stay here. I'll check on him." Doctor Nina pulled the curtain, blocking my sight from seeing Khansa.

A minute, two minutes, five minutes passed. I'm getting impatient. I want to open the curtain and ask how Khansa is doing. Before I did, doctor Nina did it first.

SREK (curtain sound is opened)

"W-how's Dok doing?"

"He's fine. Looks like he's dysmenorrhea and anemia. She's menstruating right now."
