Love Is Rain
Chapters 16. School Tour

FINALLY, WE GET USED TO EACH OTHER WITHOUT GIVING ANY NEWS. WE GET USED TO IT WITHOUT MUTUAL ATTENTION. FINALLY WE GET USED TO IT WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT EACH OTHER.

BY NOT MISSING EACH OTHER WE BEGIN TO LIVE EACH OTHER'S LIVES LIKE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW EACH OTHER.

The school where Beverly studied at this time will hold a special tour of twelve graders who will soon take the final exam.

All his friends are in a race to register. Bie can only look at. In the tenth grade, Bie was on tour. It was also forced Dimas. He paid the fee in the name of Bie.

Bie walked towards the library. All his friends were busy planning a vacation that would be held in three days.

"You're not coming, Bie" asked one of his friends.

"No" replied Bie briefly.

"Why? You're not okay with Cath."

"From the beginning I was just as good as Cath. We never had a fight."

"One school also knows, Bie.It doesn't need to be covered anymore. Usually where there is a Cath there will be a Bie and Dimas. But ever since Cath dated Keen, you've never been together again. Do you like Keenan too?"

"Keen is Cath's boyfriend. There's no way I'm cornering my best friend."

"Keen and Dimas had a fight for you, right?"

"Don't make any rumors. Me and Dimas or Keen have nothing to do. I hope no one spreads such rumors anymore."

Beverly stood up from her seat and left the library. When I was about to enter the classroom, Dimas called.

"To the park, Yuk," asked Dimas.

"Well?"

"Come, come along." Bie walked in Dimas's footsteps.

At the Park Dimas handed a sheet of paper to Bie. "This ..." said Dimas.

"What's this?" Bie took it and read it.

"Gue doesn't want to come, Dim."

"But I paid for it."

"Lo leave this to the committee and ask for the money back. I have to work. I don't want to get fired."

"Bie, this is the last chance to be with friends. After this we don't know if we'll be able to meet?"

"Gue tau, Dim. But I have to work."

"Gue's gonna take care of Lo's work permit."

"Gue new employee, time must permit."

"Lo don't worry. I'll take care of everything."

"Gue's ashamed of Lo, Dim. Too much help me."

"Gue doesn't want to know, you have to come."

"But ...."

"There's no buts. I picked up Lo when I left. If you don't come, I'm really going to get mad."

"This is called coercion!"

"Gue doesn't want to know, which is why Lo's coming. Entering class again. The bell soon."

Dimas and Bie walked towards the classroom.

...............

Arriving the day of departure, Dimas picks up Beverly at the parlor. He and Bie were among Dimas' drivers.

At school, the atmosphere was crowded. Looks like everyone's having fun. Teachers distribute buses by class.

Students are asked to move up in an orderly manner. Dimas as class president asked his friend to get on the bus immediately.

Cath and Keenan are also coming. They both sat behind the driver. They did not know the bench across from them Dimas' choice to sit.

After all boarding the bus, Dimas as class president and Bie's secretary followed.

Dimas and Bie are shocked to see Cath and Keen sitting next to them. Dimas gave his smile to Cath and Keen. But not reciprocated.

Travel within seven hours. After a four-hour drive, the driver stopped the bus to a restaurant for lunch. Everyone get off the bus. But Beverly sat down.

"Lo's not coming down."

"Lo always has a bag. I go down first.You eat. Hungry." Dimas got off the bus and went into the restaurant.

Bie opens his provisions and begins to eat. Unaware from the back door of the bus, Keenan came in.

Keenan sat down and watched Bie who was eating voraciously.

"Your father and Dimas" said Keen, startling Bie. He looked at Keen carefully.

"Do I have to answer?"

"Not necessary, not important."

"I don't think it matters. That's privacy."

"You're happy with Dimas."

"Dimas always understood me. Even if the whole world keeps away from me, it will stay with me. Even if the whole world doesn't believe me, I'm sure Dimas will still believe me."

"Dimas loves you too much." Keen said softly.

"You always draw conclusions based on your thoughts."

"What do you mean?"

"How many times do I have to say that between me and Dimas there is nothing to do but as friends."

"Maybe you just thought Dimas was a friend. What about Dimas? Does he not have the feeling of love?"

"If it's about the heart, I can't know. It's only the man himself who knows. And I can't possibly ban anyone who likes me as long as he can occupy his feelings."

When Keen was about to answer Bie's words, Cath's voice called out to him.

"Honey, long time right," Cath said. He looked surprised to see Bie on the bus. She smiled at Cath.

"Eating ..." Bie told Cath.

"Udah. Say, let's eat. The bus leaves. He said he was just going to grab a wallet, really long," Cath grumbled.

Keen picked up the wallet in his jacket pocket, and got off the bus without saying a word.

After the meal break, the bus continued. At three o'clock in the afternoon they arrived at a bath whose water came from waterfalls and mountain water. The water looks fresh and cool.

All enthusiastic, immediately throw themselves. Cheering. Dimas took Bie to the bath.

"Come, Bie. All my friends took a shower."

"Gue's scared. I know I can't swim."

"On the edge of the pool."

"A little while, yeah. I'm not cold either."

Bie changed his clothes with shorts and a t-shirt. He joined up with another friend.

Dimas left Bie and asked him on the edge only. He asked someone to meet the teacher.

"You're on this edge first. I have to see the teacher. Just for a minute" said Dimas.

"Yes, don't worry. You go first."

Without Bie noticing, Keenan's eyes always looked towards him.

"Keen, swim to the end there yuk."

"You, I'm lazy."

"Yes, already. I swim. Why take a shower if it's just for soaking." Cath swam to the end joining the other friends. Cath is a swimming champion. He took a swimming course.

Many of his friends encouraged each other, to swim to the middle. One of Bie's friends pushes himself to the middle of a deeper place. They don't know if Bie can't swim.

Bie looked scared. He's trying to get to the edge. Achieve anything, because his body begins to sink. The friend who had pushed him had swam elsewhere unaware that Bie was about to drown.

Keenan who had been watching Bie immediately swam closer to him. Keenan held Bie and carried him to the edge.

Keenan lifted Bie's body to the edge of the bath. Cath and the other friend watched from a distance.
