Arriving at the Library I saw Mr. Gani, he's the librarian who just opened the library door.
"Good morning Mr. Gani" I said
"For Fira, going to Perpus?" tanyakanya.
"Yes sir, can you?" ask me while smiling.
"Oooo, you can!" sign in.
I then entered while throwing a smile to Mr. Gani, Mr. Gani then continued his work.
As soon as I walked to the leftmost bookshelf, I saw books lined up. My hand reached for a collection of books on mathematics, and a Saint's Olympic Success Guide.
I took a corner seat, which I felt most comfortable with, I opened the book one by one, I looked at it sheet by sheet, every question I saw I read carefully.
Thirty minutes, enough to open several sheets.
I seriously did not see a pair of eyes watching me from afar.
***
Fira, you're great, you never give up, I'm crazy about you, I really can't hold this feeling much longer. Rinto continued to sit some distance away from where Fira was sitting. He continued to play with the book he was holding without reading it, His mind and eyes continued to pay attention to Fira who was still serious about the book.
" O Lord, take care of him for me, until the time will come" Rinto prayed in his heart.
If I could just hold you tight I wouldn't let go for a second. Your charm makes me love you more.
That's how Rinto keeps playing with his mind. Until he didn't see his friend coming,
"Hey, dreamy lo?" shock Andi while patting Rinto on the shoulder.
While surprised Rinto just turned his head while shaking his head.
Then Andi blinked her eyes while heading towards Fira,
"She's more charming, she said, whispering, I can shoot her, The more beautiful the day, the more aura that no other girl has. Even the most popular girl was losing to him now, "sobbing Andi as her face daydreamed of Fira.
"That's not going to happen I won't let you take his heart" Rinto said as he pointed his finger at Andi.
"Weleh, someone's angry, I know you love him why not date him" Andi said.
"It's not easy to get close to her," Rinto replied as he looked blankly at her eyes.
"Know what you are, ah don't ngaco" continued Rinto.
He looked back at the book he was holding, which he had not read since.

Along with that the school bell rang, students immediately scattered into their respective classes. Fira was no exception, she immediately returned the book she had picked up then rushed into the classroom.
In the class all had sat in their respective places, until Bu Lina Geography Master came.
"For the children" said Bu Lina
"Good Morning ma'am" we answered.
"Today I have a need to leave school, so I just give you a task" said Ms. Lina.
"Hore.." cheered the happy child.
"Don't be happy first I want today's task immediately completed and collected" said Bu Lina again.
"Huuuu.." The voice of the child is almost simultaneous.
Then Ms. Lina wrote down the assignment on the board and then she dropped out of class.
Rani and I took the task seriously, hoping that the task would be completed quickly so that I could immediately do some more math practice problems.
"Hem" I said
"Where's Rinto?" the question made me surprised and had to stop my activities doing the task.
"Where's what? she's okay, right?" ask me again pretending not to understand the direction of the question.
"Don't act pilon, I know you harbored feelings for her right?" ask Rani.
I put down my pen and then faced her.
"Rani, my feelings for her are the feelings of a friend, nothing more" I said pretending.
"I know you're lying, I already know you're Fira, I know when you're being honest and when you're hiding something" she said.
"It's not important" I replied as long as I hope Rani keeps quiet.
"Foster your love because I also see the twinkle of love in Rinto's eyes when he looks at you" said Rani.
I immediately fell silent, "the sparkle of love in his eyes? has he? I didn't realize it" I said in my heart
It doesn't feel like we've had some of the subjects we've been following today. It was time to go home, the last minute of school was a long time. Because we're tired.
The bell rang home, though,
"Huhhh.." I stretched my muscles.
I tidied up the books and stepped into Mushola behind the school, for the dhuhur prayer, I would take additional math lessons for material stabilization before I left for the saint olympic event. While Rani went straight home as usual she picked up her father in front of the school. Her father was very protective of her.
I take off my shoes to get water. Then carry out my duty to my Lord.
Finished all I want to step into the library because there are not many people then the lessons are held in the library so that it is easier when going to take books for reference.
Suddenly my steps stopped because I felt someone was blocking my path.
I raised my head, I felt that person was too tall so I had to raise my head to see his face.
And it turns out that she is Rinto, because of Rinto's tall and athletic posture, with a handsome face anyone who sees her will definitely be attracted to her. But I always took some distance from him I don't want any more trouble with girls. I avoided taking another path.
"Wait" Rinto's voice surprised me.
I stopped my steps without looking.
"Don't you open your heart to anyone, I know this moment isn't right and I'll wait until the time comes, I'm sure there's me in your heart" he said.
"The most beautiful love between two people who are not halal is to pray for each other in silence without knowing each other. And I will wait until the time you promise." I said with a bow, with a voice held back by trembling and nervousness.
I passed away leaving Rinto with a feeling of unease between happiness, shame mixed with hope.
"God what is this feeling, why does my heart feel like a flower, hearing all of Rinto's words, and the answer I said just like I didn't realize it." - My mind.
I went straight to the toilet, I washed my face in the sink I think there was warm air running through my face with red cheeks. I reflected, I smiled happily, "is this what it's like to be in love". My whisper in my heart.
While Rinto looked at the back of Fira who was covered with her hijab that was broken, and had already passed away after saying a word that made Rinto very happy.
"That's what he said, Love in silence, so it's true that he loves me too, it's true that he'll be waiting for me." He mumbled like he could not believe. Fira said as she continued to ring in her memory.
He was like a man who was drunk with love. His mind and heart were filled with the shadow of Fira.

Time is 15:30.
That's how every day Fira had to go through, for the sake of relaying lessons for the preparation of the Science Olympiad.
For some children whose intelligence is ordinary, this will be tiring and make dizziness. But not for Fira, this activity is very challenging, and fun, he does not stop to solve every difficult problem. Precisely it makes her challenged to finish, and only feel satisfied after being able to finish perfectly.
