Light Warriors
Section 35

"Yam, how's your school?  Not engrossed?" Rumi communicates telepathically over long distances with Sham, who has just entered school.

"Hm. Funny anyway. I was the oldest in class. Our peers are already at the graduation of all. There's one kid we know well."  

"Who, Sham?"  

"Nadine's. Do you remember, Mi?  

"Well, that's Nadine. Ja. I remember, Syam."

"Beautiful to her now, Mi."

"Say my regards, Sham"

"Yes, Mi. Nadine glanced at me, Mi. Until I can't concentrate."  

"Oh, hahaha. How are you feeling, Sham?"

"Mixed, Mi."

"Es mix dong? Hehe."

" Not Mi. Hodgepodge. Haha. "

"You still like him, Sham ?"  

"It's not clear, Mi. Between yes and no."

"Oh, okay. But don't let your lessons fall apart."  

"Yes, Mi."

"Yesterday, Mi, he asked me to drive him home. But before I go home, I take her on a mangrove forest tour."

"Then ?"  

"I told him that..... "

" You like him, don't you?"   

"Yes Mi. I was nervous when I revealed it. It works too." 

"Keep, what's the response?"  

" So quiet at first. Then, he smiled and said that for a long time, he also liked me. He was just waiting for me to reveal it. Finally, we're officially dating."

Rumi remained silent.  He thought of something. He stopped his telepathy with Sham. From the window of his room, he saw the Petronas Twin Towers which began to be illuminated by blue lights. He looked at the two towers with a blank look.  

"Mi?" Syam kept calling him and giving him a signal through his heartbeat.

However, Rumi still did not reply.

Mi ? Mi's? You why?  Why not answer me anyway?  You got a problem?  

Rumi continued to drift in her daydreams and blank stares. His mind moved backwards.

*

Recalling in his mind, it rained heavily that time.  Sometimes strong winds followed him.  Rumi did not care. 

At that time, Rumi was still in the eleventh grade. Syam is also still in school and a classmate. 

From behind the book she was reading in the school library, Rumi saw a girl from the tenth grade, her underclassman. Rumi did not know her name, which was obvious, the girl was very pretty. Rumi had seen him for the first time. 

He continued to observe the girl, without being able to stop his eyes from continuing to observe.  Every gesture.  When the girl was reading seriously.  When the girl was chatting with some of her friends.

When the girl's eyes were on Rumi by accident, Rumi hurriedly covered her face with the book she read.  

"Mi, why don't you go up to him and get acquainted?" The voice inside him kept urging him.  But there was another voice that broke his spirit:

"Ah, no. I'm not the perfect man for a girl as beautiful as her. I'm ashamed."

"And do I have to be perfect just to get acquainted?  Just asking for a name?"

" No, I'm ashamed."

Finally, the second voice won.  Rumi backwards. Even though his heart kept on stirring. Rumi only dared to look at it in secret. When the girl left the library room, Rumi opened the visitor's book that was in the room.  He saw his name and signature written on it. Nadine.  Grade ten nine. 

Rumi smiled with satisfaction.  At least because he knows his name.  

"Hey Mi, are you smiling to yourself anyway? " Sham broke her daydream with her rude voice. 

"Ehm, there's nothing" Rumi said.  

"Yuk class. " Sham embraced it. "Taught hours are starting soon. "

"Come, Sham."

Rumi deliberately passed through the ninth-grade classroom ten before entering her own classroom. 

Secretly, Rumi glanced at him for a moment.  The girl was joking with her friend.  

Rumi smiled and embraced one name: Nadine.

  Yes, Nadine.   One name that could awaken a million forces within him.  Make him excited.  But baby, he's just a name buried in his dreams. 

His tongue felt stiff, even though he was just acquainted.  

During the break, Rumi sees her in the school cafeteria.  Nadine was busy chatting with some of her girl friends.  Every now and then, Rumi stole a glance at him. 

As usual, when Nadine unintentionally returned her gaze, Rumi immediately threw away a face.  

"O Lord, help me, "Her mind complains to the Creator.  "Why do those eyes make me feel like I'm being stung by the voltages of electricity?" 

"Eat yuk, "Suddenly Sham sat in front of him.  He brought two bowls of meatballs, one for him to eat and the other for Rumi to eat.  "Here, I bought you a meatball, too. You must be starving.  " 

"Thank you Sham, " said Rumi. He began to feed the pieces of meat balls. However, his concentration remained focused on the girl. I see him a little strange. 

Sham felt something.  But it's also a shame that Syam knows what he's thinking.  

"Mi, eat it a little faster dong, " said Sham.  "Hunting down time. " 

"Yes Sham" replied Rumi.

"What are you looking at? " Sham asked curiously.

"Ah, no, "Rumi replied.

"Correct? " Sham smiled mischievously.  " Let me guess."

"Yes already. Quickly finish the meatballs," said Syam.

"Yes Sham, " replied Rumi.

"Sir, "unexpectedly, Nadine came to the table where they ate.  He patted the shoulder of Sham.  It seems that the two of them are already familiar with each other.  Spontaneous Rumi chokes.  

"Why are you, Mi? " ask Sham. "Surprised to see a beautiful girl."

Syam laughed chuckling.  Rumi hastily finished her iced tea until she stayed half.  It was nervous.  His heart is racing.  

"Oh yes Sham, meet, this is Nadine, a child from the ninth grade, ", said Sham.

Rumi shook Nadine's hand in trembling. "I'm Rumi... " 

"Nadine," the girl smiled at Rumi.  " Your twin brother? You two are really similar. I can't even distinguish. "

Rumi smiled without making a sound.  He tried to hide his nervousness.  

"Where was Mr Suyadi's PR yesterday? " ask Sham.  

"Curfer up, " replied Nadine.

"Other times, if there's schoolwork, just ask Rumi for help. He was very good, "Sham winked at his twin.  

"Oh yeah? Wow, fun, " said Nadine.  " Sister Rumi wants to help Nadine learn. "

"Uhm, yes," Rumi answered briefly.

Bell rings.  The break is over.  

"Yes, Sham's sister, Rumi's sister," Nadine waved to them.  

"Yes, Nad, " said Sham.  

They left Rumi and Sham. Rumi and Sham rushed back to the classroom 

Mi, do you think Nadine is beautiful? " Sham asked Rumi as she hugged him on the way home.  

"Hm. It could be, "Rumi nodded. 

"Why? " 

"I don't know, Mi," Sham replied. " I don't think I can stop thinking about him." 

"you mean? " 

"Hm. Maybe I. I like it, Mi."

Rumi's heart felt like letting go when he heard the words Sham. They both liked the same girl.  But, Rumi did not want to tell her feelings to Syam. 

This time for the happiness of her twin sister, Rumi decided to give up.  

"Oh so. Good, " replied Rumi flat. 

"Where do you know at all? " 

"Actually we've been acquainted for a month.  At that time, we accidentally met in the cafeteria. A lot of kids like him, Mi." 

"Then, you catch children like him too, do you? " 

Syam scratched his head. "Maybe." 

"Keep, why don't you just express your feelings to him? " 

"I'm waiting for the right moment, Mi."

"Later to be taken by someone else, Sham. "

"Hehehe. If you are a mate, you will not run anywhere, Mi. " 

From then on, Rumi tried not to think about Nadine anymore.   Several times Nadine asked Rumi for help with her physical tasks.  But, in order to keep the feelings of her twin sister, Rumi chose to keep her distance so as not to get too close to Nadine.  

Is Rumi jealous of her own twin sister?  Yes, of course Rumi was jealous.  And that's natural.  But Rumi could do nothing.  Syam is everything to him. He does not want to fight with his own twin brother just because of a girl's problems. 

Rumi decided to give up.  However, Rumi has not seen them dating, Syam has dropped out of school.

" You must be mad at me, huh, Mi?" ask Sham in his telepathy.

" Uhm, no, Sham. I'm not angry."

"You don't fool me, Mi. I can feel what you feel."

" Why should I be angry with you?"

" You like Nadine, don't you? Answer honestly, Mi. If you like Nadine, I will end my relationship with her. It's okay, Mi. I'd better not date her, Mi. Than I should make you hurt."

" Enough Syam. You don't have to do it. You don't have to end your relationship with Nadine. I'm glad to hear you could be Nadine. Finally, it also materializes your intention to date the girl you've liked since the eleventh grade."

" Mi, you can't hide your thoughts from me. Remember what I say often."

" Honestly, I used to love Nadine. But that was before. It's not anymore. I've forgotten about it. So, I'm just grateful that you can date Nadibe. Right, Syam. I'm not lying. Just so, don't let your school lessons be neglected. "

" Thank you, Mi, for all your understanding. I cry you know."

" Haha. The world can end if a superhero like you goes roaring."

"Haha. I'm not a superhero, Mi. I'm a normal human being with feelings too."

"Oh yes, Sham, in a few days' time, the great meeting in Shambala begins. Have you prepared yet?"

"Already, Mi. My guardian angel told me a lot about Shambala, the various questions asked before entering Shambala, and others. My guardian angel told me to fast every Monday and Thursday, because I still could not fully control my emotions. He also told me to meditate a lot. For even if I understood all the answers to those questions with my mind, it did not guarantee that I would escape if I could not answer with my conscience. And the sharpness of my conscience can only be sharpened if I can control my own emotions."

"Oh good that, Sham. Mr. David also gave me an ancient scroll for me to read, make preparations."

"Wow, that's good, Mi. If you can tell, what's it about?"

"About knowing ourselves, it starts from knowing our gross body and our subtle body that there are many layers, to releasing all attachments, and realizing the existence of our true self. Our true self that transcends all forms we have ever seen. "

"That's good. And you're done reading it all?"

"Tonight, I'll finish it, Sham."

"Excite yes, Mi. "

"Espirit too, Sham."
