I think that love started growing when it was raining heavily and you offered me an umbrella to protect me from getting wet.
-------
The morning fainter, the dark clouds that had been hanging in the sky there began to tire bear the weight and fall one by one into points of smooth water, the longer the more crowded.
He arrived in front of the school. The car stopped, which means me and Afni it's time to get off. No one moved, I was restless between having to get down or stay in place, while Afni waited for what decision I had chosen for her warning earlier 'get off somewhere else or anywhere as long as it's not at the same time as me'.
"There are umbrellas in the trunk dear," said aunt Yusnita, because the morning drizzle has changed the rain.
He grabbed the umbrella and prepared to come down, his hand holding the car door. While his eyes are sharp towards me who is still confused.
"Go ahead, brother," I said to Afni. A speck of suspicion appeared on his face.
"You're not coming down, honey?" Ask aunt Yusnita.
"I went down in front of my aunt, in front of the ATK store, I wanted to buy drawing equipment and double the learning materials" I explained to aunt Yusnita.
Hearing my words, Afni immediately opened the door and spread her umbrella. Screaming of him, there was a cheerful he showed off to the world when he got out of the car.
Aunt Yusnita returned to driving the car and stopped in front of the ATK store I meant. Aunt Yusnita stopped, she turned towards me.
"Honey, outside the heavy rain, the umbrella is just one, you just wear a jacket to take cover."
"It's okay Auntie, I can run in anyway, the distance of the store is not far, even if it's wet not too much just damp."
"Or how about-"
"It's okay Auntie, I'm down first, Aunt be careful on the road!" I shook his hand and opened the car door. Puiiissss. Heavy rain flushed the earth this morning after a month of heat ruled the day.
I immediately ran into the front of the ATK store to shelter. I stayed for a while before entering, I waved at Aunt Yusnita who was honking for me.
To my left some umbrellas were laid out in an open state, dots of water dripping in the corners, peeping in, some students were also shopping here. I go in and look at the funny stuff, my eyes can't keep looking at the funny stuff, I have to buy something to satisfy.
I searched for things that weren't in my bag or study desk at home. Because buying image equipment and doubling the material is just an excuse not to go down with Afni in the same place.
ATK equipment in this store is funny. It was nice to wash my eyes while waiting for the rain to subside a little, although there was no sign the rain would subside as quickly as I thought. My eyes were fixed on a young orange diary, so sweet as it looked, equipped with a padlock and a key. This heart is struggling to have it.
"Sister, I want a diary in the corner" I told the young shopkeeper.
He picked up the book I was referring to and paid for it to the cashier. After that I went outside waiting in front of the store.
The students who had been shopping, had gone all, but I just wanted to ask for an umbrella ride from one of them. The umbrella that had been stored in front of the store had been taken away by his master.
If I stay here waiting for the rain to subside then it will obviously be late, the distance between the school and the characters is quite far, it takes about five minutes if walking. But if reckless through the rain, get ready to get wet.
I went back inside the store, instead of losing precious time just to wait, I better find another solution.
"Sir, is there an umbrella?" I went back into the store asking for an umbrella.
"The umbrella happened to run out of deck, just got someone to buy it," he replied.
[Yes .. I had to find another way] I was limp in hearing the shopkeeper's answer.
I went out to the front of the store, waiting for the miracle to happen. Either the rain will subside for a while, or someone offers me help.
*Hap*ku rang, I took it from the bag, on the screen appeared Ayu's name.
"Hello-"
"Za, where we are now, sorry yesterday I overslept and did not hear your messages coming in. Where are you now? How are you feeling? You're doing okay, right? Za, I'm sorry, okay?" I haven't had time to talk Ayu has long stormed with questions. Ayu's voice sounded worried and there was Daniza with her.
"I'm in front of ATK Sentosa's shop. I'm stuck in the rain." I half shouted to rival the sound of rain falling with a crowd.
"Thank God, may it rain soon, Daniza and I are waiting in class!" ayu's last sentence before ending her phone.
I just saw a phone this morning. Lots of messages coming in. I open one by one. From Maiza, Ayu and aunt Yusnita. The contents of the message were almost the same, asking for my circumstances and whereabouts.
There was a happy speck in this little heart. Those people who asked me were the ones who cared and cared.
The rain was still heavy, the sky was still dark, while time continued to run. It is better to break through the rain and even though it is too late than not to go to school. I fixed the items in the bag, including the hape I kept in a safe position so as not to rain. I will use the bag to protect my head from rain.
I stepped foot and the raindrops started touching my uniform. My hand that refuted the bag had been splashed by water. Suddenly someone was standing on the left, out of nowhere he was paddling me.
I looked at him, and he looked at me. Two seconds, these eyes were staring.
"Come," he said, showing a neat row of teeth. A dimple on the right cheek embellishes his smile. Not only that, a small dimple on the left lip spoon adds to the sweetness of her face. If you smile like food added sambal, make dibil.
I walked without a word. Don't know what to say. I'm quiet but honestly I'm happy.
He looked back to the front as he walked in my slow steps avoiding a few puddles on the road.
Only one word came out of his mouth, he then walked with a face that had returned flat.
The smile and the word 'fuck' he spoke made this heart tremble. Jatung beats like when nervous or shocked, but I am not nervous or shocked, a sense in my heart that I do not understand, only this time I feel like this. And this vibration in the heart was affected by his invitation and smile.
