"Yes, my name is Shanon. You who?" asked the girl to me, such a beautiful girl with an attitude that I thought was adorable at the beginning of our meeting.
"Why are you being treated anyway? What's your name?" ask the girl back who made my heart beat so fast.
"A-Arsen" I replied later.
"Good name arts," she replied with a smile on her thin lips, which looked so seductive. I also smiled as I scratched my head without itching, hiding the nervousness that was in my heart. I admit this time I was nervous when I was dealing with a woman.
"Yes Arsen, I went to class first."
"Yes Sha."
He then walked away leaving me still pensively staring at his disappearance.
"Shanon" I said with a smile back.
***
Since our first meeting, Shanon and I have been very friendly. It is undeniable, if he is my spirit to go to school, I feel so happy when I can see him. I don't know what this is called, I often wonder, is this what love is? At first I hesitated, until finally I could no longer lie to my feelings if I had fallen in love with her. Falling in love at first sight.
A few months after that, I ventured to get closer to her. Many times, I took him home with my motorbike, yes those days I was so happy, because we were so close. Not only that, Shanon often brought food for me, he said that the food brought by him was his cooking. In fact, Shanon often brought various kinds of food, but of all the food that I like the most is his fried rice. Indeed, the cuisine is simple but I don't know if Shanon cooked it, it tastes so different.
Getting the attention of the people I love, of course I feel very happy, I also feel sure if Shanon likes me too. Moreover, he often felt annoyed if there was another woman approaching me. Yes, with the cleverness and good looks I have, who is the woman who is not interested in me, but my heart is already attached to Shanon. When other women approached me, Shanon would often drive them away, and after that he was angry with me, but all his behavior made me feel anxious about him.
"Sorry, Arsen is busy, he has a promise to help me learn, so mending you go first, if not wait in the corner of your queue number one thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine," shanon said if any woman comes near me.
Indeed, during this year, we were so close. While at school, we often spend time together, and after school we often go to the mall or just watch.
At that time we could say we looked like lovers, even though in reality there was no word of love spoken from me. It's not that I don't dare to say it, I'm not that cowardly who doesn't dare to say love to the girl he loves. It's just that I was waiting for the right moment that after the acceptance of the class report, I'm sure Shanon was waiting for that moment. And luckily he was willing to patiently wait for me to wait for those moments.
Finally the moment that awaited arrived. After receiving the report, I pulled Shanon's hand into a corner of our school. "Sha, will you have some time later in the afternoon? I'm gonna take you somewhere."
"Where are we going? The mall? To cinema?"
I shook my head too."No, Sha. We're not going there." Shannon also seemed to frown.
"Where are we going, Arsen?"
I brought my face closer to her and grabbed the hair on her face and put it behind my ears, so I could look at Shanon's face completely. Today I don't know why I want to look at that pretty face, it feels like there is such a deep longing for her.
"We're going somewhere, somewhere where it's just me and you."
Hearing my words, Shanon's face also looked flushed. She then lowered her head with a smile, maybe she felt embarrassed as I suddenly acted a little romantic towards her.
"Where is Sha, you have time for me in the afternoon, right?"
Shannon then nodded her head. "Yes Arsen, we'll see you in the afternoon."
"I picked you up."
"But Sha..."
"Arsen, we'll see you there. Let the effect be different, if you go together, ga cool, please," whined Shanon while pursing his lips.
"Well, I'll wait there in the afternoon."
"Yes Arsen, wait for me. You will always wait for me, right?'
"Yes Sha, I will always wait for you."
"Well, let's go home now."
"Yes" replied Shanon, nodding his head.
When we walked into the school garage, I always held Shannon's hand. He probably already knows what my grasp means, and what I'll tell him later in the afternoon. But she was calm, maybe that was how she waited for me, waiting to express her love.
Finally, the afternoon came, I came out of the house feeling so happy while carrying a bouquet of red roses for him, then riding my motorcycle to where we were going to meet, he said, it is in a cafe by the beach that is illuminated by twilight.
I want the beautiful twilight to be a witness to our love. Many times I had my hair restored to ease my nervousness, but after almost three hours of waiting, Shanon did not come. I repeatedly called her phone, but her phone was off as well. I thought maybe Shanon didn't come because he was banned by his parents. I was worried and worried that something might happen to him.
The hour hand showed at nine o'clock in the evening, I who was so curious finally decided to go to Shanon's house. Arriving at Shanon's house, the house looked so quiet. I knocked on the door of the house, so a housekeeper opened the door, and when I asked about Shanon, I asked him, the answer from the housekeeper really made my body feel so limp.
"Non Shanon, this afternoon was in an accident," the housekeeper replied, as soon as I felt so devastated, I felt very guilty for letting Shanon go alone.
With such a chaotic feeling, I finally left the house, let alone the housekeeper did not tell where the hospital where Shanon was being treated. Last night I couldn't sleep thinking about Shanon, even the next days I felt so messed up that I didn't know how the real Shanon was, even his close friends do not know how Shanon is doing. Just from the description of the housemaid at his house, I knew that the situation of Shanon was so severe that the family did not want anyone to visit him.
Time passed so quickly, the days had changed months, but I also never heard from Shannon again. Today, the first day goes to school again, and Shanon has not yet left for this school, nor have the following days, but I am still waiting for him, even though I am waiting in uncertainty. I really miss the smile of a beautiful woman in a ponytail.
Until finally one day, I accidentally heard the conversation of some teachers that today Shanon left this school to undergo treatment abroad. My heart is completely broken, and filled with question marks, is that as bad as Shanon's condition? I rushed to pick up my motorcycle even though today's lesson isn't over yet, I don't care.
At such a high speed, I rode my motorcycle to Shanon's house, but it turned out I was late. The house was already empty, there were only a few maids standing guard in his house.
I could only cry and shout about Shanon's name repeatedly, today for the second time I had the worst day of my life, after losing my mother, I also had to lose my first love, Shanon.
Shannonku is gone, my first love is gone, gone before the word love is spoken.
"Shanon, whenever I will always love you...."
Seriate....
