Rendi opened her eyes. He seemed to be silent as if he was thinking of something. "If I told you I was in a terrible pain, would you leave me?" Rendi looked at Amel with a serious face.
Rendi watched Amel's face for a moment. He saw the change in his face Amel looked surprised. "I'm just kidding" continued Rendi again.
Amel tried to contain his frustration. "Not funny, Brother. I don't like Big Brother joking like that" said Amel staring intently at Rendi.
Rendi woke up from her sleep. She ruffled Amel's hair while saying, "I'm sorry. I won't repeat it again." Rendi smiled forcefully. "I used to have a mild concussion from falling down the stairs of the 2nd floor." Rendi deliberately lied for fear that Amle was worried about her.
He was not ready to tell the truth about the pain he had suffered all this time. The plan of events used to be still clearly remembered in his head. The harsh reality that has continued to loom over him until now.
Amel advanced towards Rendi's body. "Is that the reason why you did a CT scan because Raka hit you back then?"
Rendi tried to calm down. "No, this is my mother's request. He was afraid of anything happening to me, but I'm fine now."
Amel looked at Rendi's face with worry. "Is it really okay? Will it one day recur again?"
Rendi rubbed Amel's cheek gently while smiling "Yes, I'm fine, nothing will happen to me. I'm healed now." Rendi was so happy to see Amel worrying about her.
"Didn't my brother lie to me? You could be hiding another truth." Amel was not sure what Rendi said, in his heart like there was still something stuck.
"I'm not lying. Qku will stay healthy so as to keep you safe from men who intend to approach you." Rendi tried to melt the atmosphere because she did not want Amel to continue to urge her.
"I'm serious Brother. Don't divert the conversation. Didn't you feel any more pain after the first incident?" Amel was not satisfied with Rendi's answer.
"Are you worried about me?" Rendi looked at Amel with a smile.
"Of course I'm worried. That brother's my girlfriend."
"If you're worried about me staying here, accompany me to bed. I feel calm when you're next to me. I can even sleep soundly just by holding your hand."
"Sorry, I can't. I have to go to school tomorrow morning. After all, my sister's mother will not allow us to sleep in one room" said Amel slowly.
"I'll talk to mom. He'll let. Dwri used to believe in me when I couldn't do something that would embarrass my family. After all, there is CCTV.
"Stay still Brother. We cannot sleep in the same room. There will be many temptations. I was also afraid that I could not hold back later" explained Amel.
"I love you so much Mel. I will not do anything bad to you because I promised to take care of you. I'll wait until we get married."
"How can I accompany my brother to sleep, and then I'll go home?"
"All right then."
Rendi lay down again after she finished speaking. While Amel lay down his body facing Rendi. Rendi was a little relieved at least for a while Amel would not ask about her pain.
Long enough Amel accompanied Rendi to sleep. When the time had shown at 9 pm, Amel woke up from his sleep and then got out of bed. Amel walked over to Rendix's side, pulled out a blanket to cover Rendi's body, and then kissed her cheek.
"Good night, brother. What a beautiful dream." Amel smiled and walked out of Rendi's room. Amel then returned home delivered by Mr. Iyan.
********
Amel arrived early this morning. He made a pact with all his friends. Upon entering the class, not a single student had arrived. Amel walked towards his seat and decided to send a message to Rendi. Amel sat down while leaning his back against the chair.
"Ameel."
Amel was shocked when he heard the cries of his three best friends. They ran to Amel. "Lo uda came from earlier Mel?" ask Lisa who's been sitting at Amel's front desk.
"No, just came" said Amel.
"Today you have to tell me everything." this time Olive spoke.
"Yes, I brought a lot of food. We'll have breakfast here, all of you listen to your story." Bela put 1 large plastic labeled minimarket near her school.
"Yes, but the story until it's finished you can comment," said Amel reminded. He did not want to be interrupted while talking.
His three companions nodded simultaneously and stared with serious faces. Amel begins to recount the moment he made a pact with Rendi in front of the school gate, when Rendi took her to the cafe when she was almost hit and accidentally met Friska, who was in the middle of the school, coming to Mama Rendi's birthday as her pretend boyfriend, sleeping in Rendi's room, fights Raka and Rendi.
He told me one by one until he could finally be with Rendi. His three companions looked very surprised and envious, many expressions they showed as long as Amel told them.
"Gilaaa Mel, your seamless love story bengetx deserves a toll road. It's so easy to be Rendi's girlfriend." Bela commented while putting bread in her mouth.
"Yeah, really. You're lucky Mel. This is Rendi looh gaes ... Joints. The most handsome and popular guy in our school. Oohh my God .. if yesterday I did not see you go with Rendi, I probably will not believe the same story lo this," said Lisa with a face still surprised.
"After a long time, make us curious, answered already who is the girl who can want the heart of Rendi. I still don't think you can be the same as Rendi. Although from the story earlier, said that Rendi was poseseif, I was very happy if the guy was like Rendi," said Olive before sipping a drink.
Amel just silently listened to the comments of his three best friends.
"Yeah. I also agree with you Liv, especially if Rendi is loyal. The proof all this time, he has never been close to other girls, although many like, but he never nanggepin them at all," said Bela while nodding.
"But, you said there are girls who do not sport if you become Rendi's girlfriend. The girl who likes him, what's his name?" lisa tried to remember her name.
"Friska," answered Amel short.
"Ohh yes, is she as beautiful as how dare ngehina lo?" asked Lisa with a face she didn't like.
