Jully Mahardika
Ep. 19 Looking for Answers

Jully breathed in the morning air deeply, soaking her freshness through the fragrant flowers and leaves that made her heart peaceful. This morning he was in front of the school gate, doing his activities that had been delayed the last two days.

"Hmmm glad to be back at school." Mumbled.

He felt more excited than the day before. There are things that he must finish soon, Jully does not want to postpone it again because he does not know until when time will return it to its original place. Before that time comes everything must be finished so that there are no more regrets in the future.

"Hi beeebb, how's it going?" Suddenly Kansari came from behind and directly grabbed onto Jully's shoulders, leaving the girl in shock.

"Sarijah! Just be surprised!" Squealing Jully, while Kansari just grimaced showing a row of white and neat teeth while muttering an apology.

"Ehh Sar, don't you have a bike?" Jully asked with her eyes peeking towards the side of Kansari.

"Well, I've parked in the front parking lot, if behind the mall to take it hard." Kansari answered and Jully simply nodded with her mouth rounded calling out the letter O without a sound.

"Nebeng's home, huh? hehe.." Pinta Jully's.

"Sipp... Come in yuk beb!" Take Kansari.

The two of them stepped down the school hallways to get to the intended class. There it was still quiet, only two children who had arrived early, namely Raning who was seen turning back his LKS book and Ernita who seemed to be lying his head on his stool table, his eyes closed, it seemed like he was sleeping. "Why come early in the morning if it's just for sleeping in class? I don't know, maybe he should leave early because of the distance his house is far from school." That's what Jully had in mind when she saw Ernita, because not once or twice did Jully see Ernita fall asleep in the morning and she would wake up right after the first teacher was in their class. Jully did not know if Ernita had been the one who put strawberry juice and slipped a letter from the Yuyu into her bench drawer. Of course, all of that was at the request or rather the order of his brother, Wigih Sasongko the handsome Ketos adjaan this school.

"Hi Jull, how are you? Already healthy?" Sapa Raning once saw Jully enter the class with Kansari.

"Alkhamdulillah is well, thank you." Jully replied with a sweet smile.

"Ah.. You've come from Ning?" Tanya Jully while circulating her views sekekelilling the classroom.

"Now, just before you came in, about seven minutes before you." An Raning replied remembering. "Ernita came earlier than me and she's been asleep since I came." Further.

"Has that thing been on my desk since you came?" Jully asked while pointing at the strawberry juice box that was already on her desk.

"Yes, it's there." Raning answered honestly.

"That means the answer is in Ernita" Jully murmured inwardly.

"Why is Jull?" Tanya Raning was curious.

"Ohh no papa, just the name." Jully replied as calmly as possible so as not to arouse suspicion, then she passed from the front of Raning and to his desk followed by Kansari who had just been silent listening.

Jully grabbed the juice box in front of her, there was a sticker with a smiley emoti stuck in the box. Take a quick look at her and put her in her school bag. Then he reached into the drawer under his desk, as usual a letter with a light blue cover was lying there. Jully picked it up, she felt it was heavier than usual, there was something in it but she didn't want to open it now, she would wait until later after school. Kansari secretly noticed Jully's movements, then she brought her body closer to Jully while saying softly...

"Jull, I know your suspicions, do I need to ask Ernita directly?"

"Don't! Let me ask you myself." Prevent Jully.

"Don't let me." Kansari stood up from her seat about to wake Ernita up and" asked the truth that was still a preconception. But soon prevented by Jully.

"Please let me, I'm afraid you're getting carried away by emotions." Kansari resigned after hearing Jully's speech. "Some of him is still sleeping, it's not good to wake a sleeping person, let it be later." Jully continued, Kansari nodded and sat back in her chair.

Classes started to get crowded and time passed so quickly that the break hour arrived as soon as the bell rang, students scatter out of class to prop up their stomachs that have been rumbling or just out of class to get away from fatigue after the lesson is over, there must be many of them who choose to stay in the classroom. Like Jully Cs, they still sit in the classroom. Jully stood up from her seat, her hands clutching the strawberry juice box she had stored in her bag, approaching Ernita who was about to step away.

"Ernita wait a minute." Call Jully to stop Ernita's move.

"Yes, what's up, Jull?" Ask Ernita.

"Can you ask what?" Ernita replied that she was actually worried about what Jully would ask.

"Look, did you come earlier this morning than everyone else?" Ask Jully.

"I guess.no, when I came there was already Wicky here." Ernita tried to remember.

"Wicky?" Jully asked in disbelief.

"Yes, Wicky's sitting on that bench over there." Ernita tries to convince Jully of her answer while pointing to Wicky's seat.

"But when Kansari and I came there was only you and Raning in this class."

"Ohh about that he came out again after seeing me come and I immediately sat in my place, Raning problem I don't know when he came because I immediately slept on my bench after Wicky came out." Ernita explained.

"Then..is this strawberry juice already there when you came?" Jully asked by showing a box of juice that was in his grasp.

"Had, by the time I came I'd seen Wicky standing next to your desk and looking at that juice." Ernita's reply just made Jully squint her eyes. He thought to what Wicky approached his stool when all the children had not yet come? Could it be Mr. W that's really Wicky? But Jully immediately dismissed the thought, he did not want to just guess, all he needed was a definite answer.

"Jullis.. Juulls... Julie!" Call Ernita while patting Jully on the shoulder, because the girl did not answer him immediately.

"Ahh, what's wrong with Er?" Jully asked after waking up from her daydream.

"I asked, is there anything else you want to ask? You know, I'm hungry, I'm going to go to the cafeteria." Ernita holds her stomach which is really very hungry now, this morning she only ate a piece of jam bread and water for breakfast because she had to hunt for time to get as early as possible in her friends.

"Upss sorry, you can go, thank you." Jully felt bad.

After Ernita steps out of the classroom, Kansari and the others approach Jully, wondering what Jully just talked about with Ernita.

"How's beb? What's Ernita saying?" Ask Kansari with curiosity. But when Jully was about to answer, Wicky was seen coming out when the break bell rang now back into the classroom. Jully immediately stepped foot quickly to approach Wicky who was joking with Ale.

"Wick, come with me for a second!" Take Jully while dragging the end of Wicky's uniform arm. Wicky who is not ready and empty strayed because of Jully's actions can only be resigned to follow Jully although a bit shocked and confused.

Jully invites Wicky to talk outside the classroom, they walk toward the basketball court, a little far from their class. The sight was unintentionally seen by the eyes of Ernita who was sitting in the cafeteria enjoying her lunch. The direction of the basketball court from Jully's class did pass through the school cafeteria. Ernita looked at the two of them who were walking in haste with Jully in front while Wicky followed her from behind.

"Surely what's happening with them right now because of what I said to Jully just now, sorry, Wick..." Ernita muttered to himself. He feels bad for Wicky because he carries the name Wicky to perfect his alibi.

Flash Back's...

"Duuhh kak Wigih ni actually ngrepotin deh! He said only until he came back I did this job, in fact he told me to do it again right... If not my own brother I am ogah! Where early in the morning the door of the room has been pounded, then breakfast as well. Just watch if he breaks his promise!" Ernita grumbled all the way to his classroom. This morning she had to return to her brother's order to put a box of strawberry juice and a letter on Jully's desk. Arriving in class, Ernita immediately did his job, putting his brother's luggage into his place. He intended to get out of the classroom so that no one would suspect him, but he heard the footsteps moving closer and closer to his class. Not wanting to be discovered, he immediately hid behind the door. He saw someone enter his class and that person was Wicky. Ernita watched the man from behind the classroom door. Wicky steps up to Jully's table, looking at the strawberry juice on Jully's table. Wicky was about to grab the juice box, Ernita who saw him immediately came out of his hiding place, as if he had just come. Wicky was surprised and became misbehaved, then he immediately left Ernita just like that.

"Huuffs... Good thing not found out, but Wicky was going to do this juice? Bodo is very important everything is safe, if you can't be terrible to nag the nerd." Ernita monologues, grateful that what happened just now is still safely under control. Then he went to his stool, sat there and chose to close his eyes that were still drowsy until the bell went off.

The Flash Back Off...

Jully and Wicky are now near the basketball court, standing facing each other. Don't expect you to think they look lovingly. They looked questioningly at each other's brains. Then Jully opened her voice first...

"Wicki... Let's talk from heart to heart."

Seriate...
