Love is Only a Thought
Back to school

" Mother, Muti does not want to be injected. Muti ngak wants. hiks..hiks..."

"Princess daddy can't do that. Believing in father, Muti will be fine" Andi explained trying to convince

Finally the doctor can only resign and return to store the syringe.

"Sir, the doctor won't inject Adek. Try to see, the injection is no longer there" said the hijab doctor gently

Pearl turned her head and stopped her crying when she did not see the injection. His gaze then immediately led to Sofyan who seemed to still be loyal to accompany him.

Suddenly, Pearl was embarrassed to remember her actions that were afraid of being injected like a child. But how else, he was afraid of being injected.

Noticing the Pearl's nervousness, Sofyan immediately understood. He then shifted his position to get closer to the Pearl.

"Pearl, does the wound still hurt so much?" softly asked Sofyan

"No sir, it's not too painful" said Pearl nervously, making Sofyan smile knot.

Seeing that made the heart of the Pearls seem like a marathon run, and he was a little stunned to see Sofyan's charming smile let alone their distance not far away.

Seeing the Pearl that seemed to ignore the presence of the doctor, Sofyan immediately signaled the eye so that the doctor immediately completed his task. While he continued to invite Pearl to chat lightly so that the fear of Pearls began to disappear.

"Muti, aren't you the class president at school?" asked Sofyan suddenly

"Yes sir, Muti class president" Pearl said nervously.

"Can you tell me who's going to take your place in the meantime? because you have to collect the tasks that are yesterday, while Pearl itself is still in the hospital" explained Sofyan at length.

Auugggh..... The pearl grimaced slightly because it felt that there were parts of its body that were like being stung by a large ant. But because her focus on her chat with Sofyan made her ignore the pain, she responded to Sofyan's question.

"Mother can count on Niko later. Usually Niko who will take over the duties of Pearl when Pearl is not present or obstructed" explained Pearl so as to make Sofyan smile again while nodding understandably.

Erna and Andi chuckled softly when her daughter did not realize she had been injected by a doctor. And once again Sofyan has helped Pearl to heal quickly.

After telling a long story, Sofyan finally resigned. Because anyway he has to rest considering he has to teach tomorrow at school.

"What mother is the hospital bed here with her ants?" asked the pearl innocently as she returned lightened to the sting earlier.

"No, isn't it, Dad? maybe it's just the feeling of a Pearl" Erna denied reassuringly.

°°°°°

Five days passed, it was time for Pearl to return to her activities as before. As usual this morning she was going to school but it seemed like the bright-looking sun made the Pearl look different.

Pearls who usually walk and ride the bus this time even pedal bicycles and explore the streets that still seem quiet as usual.

"Neng, use a bike...?" greet the vegetable seller who saw the Pearl.

"Yes mang, tired of the road" said Pearl.

After the journey, now comes the Pearl at school. He immediately helped the security guard open the gate as usual.

"Eh, Pearl. Where have you been for almost a week?" ask the security guard to be curious.

"It's not healthy sir, but now Alhamdulillah is fine"

"Good or.., what kind of pain did you have?"

"Sick can sir, yes sir. Muti wants security first" said Mutira later.

The security guard just nodded while taking off Pearl with a smile.

Pearl immediately took a novel book from her bag and began to focus on reading the word pekata in every writing there. Even occasionally he even smiled while hallucinating to be the main character in the novel he read.

"Pocong, pocong.." Stuttering the hornbill Pearl in surprise.

"What the heck you, so happy to see his friend hanging" ketus Mutiara

"Hehehe.... Sorry, Lo was shocked as well as it turned out" Helen cengenges guiltlessly.

Pearl just rolled her eyes lazily looking at the absolute behavior of her own friend.

"Which gossip? haven't come?" ask Pearl

"Friends themselves are called" replied Helen

"What's true, isn't she, the gossip queen's dini?"

"Yes, no one is 100% right" Helen said.

Then they laugh and feel funny in their own words. Even so, Dini is still their most dear friend.

"Guys, today we will study in the field with Mr. Sofyan" said Dini suddenly

"The age display also turned out" muttered Helen and Pearl together.

"Where's your info?" ask Helen

"So I heard Evi's book talking to Mr. Eko, he said Mr. Sofyan will invite us to study in the park outside the school to clear the thinking of his students..."

"What's right...?" ask Mutira suddenly

"Yes has been you. New healthy also already play cut speech people only. Yes, it is true, when the gossip from Dini is wrong" arrogant Dini then praised himself.

Helen and Mutira just chuckled at Early behavior that they thought was very funny.

It's true, Sofyan immediately invited their class to study outside the school but not with Early class. Where Sofyan gave some material and it turns out his efforts are not in vain only a few who do not understand the explanation and almost all understand his words and of course it will all facilitate the learning of his students later.

"Your pearls are healthy?" sofyan asked suddenly so that the students immediately focused on the Pearl sitting in the back.

Sofyan realizes that Pearl is in her class, and she thinks Pearl is still sick and is still in the hospital.

"Yes sir, I've been better" replied Pearl politely.

"Well, if you're not feeling well, just say so. Don't worry" explained Sofyan.

Pearl nodded immediately and Sofyan again explained the material he would convey until the time they took a break.

The pearl sat under a banyan tree that was so shady while waiting for Helen to get some water to drink, from a distance he could see several small children with their mother and caregiver each looking very happy and it made a smile on his face.

"Drink, isn't it time for you to take your medicine" said someone from the side.

Mutiara immediately turned her head and how surprised she was when she saw Sofyan with a hand that offered a bottle of water to her.

"Mr, no need. In a moment Helen will come and bring me a drink" the Pearl subtly refused.

"Helen has come home, he said he had to visit his grandmother who was in Surabaya with his parents" explained Sofyan

"WHAT??? why didn't Helen tell Muti?"

"He was in a hurry and didn't have time to tell you" Sofyan replied

After learning that Helen was gone, the pearl seemed a little disappointed that Helen did not tell him but even so she prayed that Helen and her family would be fine.
