(Hakiki Hulmi) Episode 14

Singularities

It has been a week since the monument incident at Bogor Botanical Garden, but Hakiki did not get the actual story clarity from Arini. He asked Arini about it while in the car on the way home from Bogor Botanical Garden but who was asked was silent. Actually do not want to force his best friend, later when it is calm will certainly be the story, he thought.

The slow sounding rhythm of music is a sign of a second break from the school schedule. Right out of class to Arini's class and looking for the girl. He finds Arini talking to his girlfriend. Haven't had time to call Arini, the slender girl has turned her head because she was told her friend about the existence of the Essence who is still walking closer to them.

"Hey... Ki, where are you going?" ask Arini.

"You find you, there's something I want to talk about" whispered the Truth. His body was approaching Arini.

"Yes... what the hell?"

"We go to the canteen yuk..," asked Hakiki. "Talk in the cafeteria."

"OK," replied Arini quickly. "Hey.. girls, I went to the cafeteria huh. Elu-elu on what message? Not had time to answer his friend, “Udah deh, my offer is canceled, eventually you ngasi answer." Arini refused first. Playing with his friends while acting silly. Hooked his hand to the True arm that had been beside him. Walked back to his friend and slightly dragged the handsome young man.

"Gue doesn't want an ape-ape message, but I'll keep my heart for your best friend" shouted one girl, Arini's friend from a distance.

Arini looked back. Smiling with charm. Pasting a kiss from her tiny lips to her left hand, next stick that hand on her Right cheek. He teased his friends.

The girls who were standing close to each other were screaming hysterically.

I also looked back because of the screams of a group of girls. This young man laughed short. Mouth open a little. Both eyes stared intently at the girls who stood in groups, the sharp gaze of the Truth was soft but masculine. Turn the hearts of the gathered girls.

The girls were increasingly shouting and jumping for joy.

Embarrassed. Too many people praise. That is what the Truth feels right now.

"Hadeeehh. So many of your fans in this world, Ki," complained the spoiled Arini. Continue their journey to the cafeteria. Still holding Hakiki. Arini did not care about the friends who had been a few steps away who were still a little hysterical.

The human being who was commented on just kept silent and stared at the passageway with a blank face.

Walk the two down the classroom hall as much as five rooms, turn left towards the canteen behind the classroom building. They do that slowly. Along the way of course many eyes were looking but they were trying to walk casually, not in an overbearing style. Arini scolds her friends who smile at her. While the Truth put a flat face.

"I want to take a printout of yesterday's photo, go home from school, you want to come?" ask Right. Walk slowly while embracing Arini's hand to him. Looking at Arini who was swaying in his left hand.

"Oh... Is it over?"

"That day from three days ago."

"Why do you want to take it now?"

"Some days I've been busy helping my mom at home," the real truth.

"OKAY. I'm coming with you."

They arrived at the canteen. Look for an empty bench that is on the edge. The person who chooses. He does not like if in the crowd is in the middle, it will be the center of attention of people around. Being the center of attention will make him uncomfortable. Although. actually, wherever the position is will be the concern of other humans. " You sit down, Rin, I order food" he said. "What do you want to order?"

"I drank avocado juice doang, Ki."

"What he wants to eat, even the answer is a drink message," the real sewot. His face was now mocking. Immediately go to the food and beverage outlets lined up. The canteen is big. It is about 25 x 20 meters. This was the first cafeteria to be built in their school. This canteen is the most crowded compared to the other two canteens.

Arriving in front of the booth, Hakiki ordered a one-serving toast with fizzy drinks and avocado juice for Arini. The young man told me the number of the table where they were sitting. When finished, quickly return to the table.

"No. We are on holiday because yesterday we just finished the mid-term exam" explained Arini.

Really small nod.

"Ki, actually I want to talk to you about last week's incident at Bogor Botanical Garden."

"Oh." The truth let out a short sound, its mouth forming the letter O and slightly opened. His eyes were looking at Arini. Serious glare. Trying to set a good body position to hear Arini's story. This story is what he had been waiting for the past week and he managed to lure Arini by taking her to the cafeteria.

"At that time, I felt like someone was calling me. Female voice. Initially, the voice slowly echoed, over and over again. But after several calls in a slow and resounding voice, finally, it called my name by shouting and yelling. At that moment, my ears were ringing and hurting. Shortly after, someone pulled my hand. Running pulled me and I tried to balance my steps so as not to fall. A creature I felt rattled me to the monument, telling me to read the inscription. After that, I felt the creature in my body. The memory of the past fused with my body, so warm, full of love and affection. The creature greatly appreciated his former life. Then, he cried, rested on the inscription. Crying not because you are miserable, but crying because you are happy. I feel like he left his love completely. I remember all this after a few days of the incident, before I did not remember at all," explained Arini at length.

Truth is still silent. His face is still very serious. His big eyes were staring at Arini.

"But I'm okay, Ki. When I was at the monument, I felt happy, free, happy because I felt a lot of people around me, laughing together and being happy."

Arini's story was cut short because the waiter came to deliver food and drinks. After putting four things on their table, the servant left after letting out the words of encouragement.

"Drink deh," cried the Truth while thrusting a plain glass glass, shaped like leatherback because there are segments on the sides. He also took a bottle of soft drinks ordered, poured into a glass containing ice cubes. Pulling a plate of jam bread and trying to split the bread into small pieces with a fork. "Trus... How's it going?" ask Right.

"What yes? Yeah, I don't feel burdened by that. I felt it was a strange thing but it made me happy in my life. As it happens now, I am happy, many friends, cheerful, full of love, and trying to be a good human being."

"Hmmm... Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yes." Yeah." Arini answered quickly and sipped her drink.

"Yes already. What matters is that you're okay." Just be quiet for a moment. "You ever got carried away with that dream, Rin?" ask the Truth again. He tries to convince her that Arini is okay.

"No. Even when I thought of that female-like creature, it made me feel excited."

The truth is cringing. Slowly chew his food while thinking a little.

"Emang why?" ask Arini who saw the look on the face. Trying to find answers from the look on his best friend's face. "What are you thinking?"

"Ah. It's about me, it has nothing to do with what you did at the monument."

Arini simply fell silent, sipping a drink back in front of her. Not wanting to force Hakiki to tell her about what she thinks because she knows, I really don't like it when urged.

"I'm sure, the photo prints must be good everything," the real truth melts the atmosphere.

"Ish. must be dunks. Kan, I'm the model."

"I'm the photographer" he said quickly.

Then they laughed together.
