Not Ustadz I (Unrevised)
5¹ My Neighbor My Classmate

..."Cold wind, shaved trees, white snow mounds. When misery strikes you, do not hold back your cries and spills in your prostration. Change the mood that makes you sad by making it warm." ...

My name is Raiden Ryu, a 17-year-old student. I used to live with both my parents, but as my mind started to fall apart from always being in my comfort zone I finally decided to go from my comfort zone to my real life. I was a scriptwriter who was recently buming because the book titled 'Dare to reveal the taste', even though I wrote only as entertainment in spare time but instead became a job.

Before I did not attend a building called a school but attended a homeschooling program, when I left the house I found my sister-in-law who enrolled me in school. The school was quite prestigious and earned many of the best school awards throughout the year, I was placed in classes where ambitious students gathered. I thought this would be fine, all of them would be friendly and kind. But it turns out that will not happen because in this day and age gossip will not be avoided.

When I wanted to go to class after taking care of the student administration I suddenly heard the children inside gossiping.

..........

"Ehh, he's like that because of his past with that guy.."

"Ohh, that person was the one who had been with him since the beginning of school?.."

"Yes.I guess his name is.. Matler Andrew, right? When she promised to eat with me, but she died.."

"Does that have anything to do with Misaki?.."

"I think so.."

I don't know what they're talking about, but it pisses me off. Not to mention the earphones stuck in my ear this also pisses me off. After finishing my call, I went to class to get some stuff on the table. I felt like they were looking at me with sharp eyes like they were detecting something, until some girls came to me.

That's where I started to feel uncomfortable and my head started to ring, even though I was already taking medication. Surprisingly this symptom always occurs when I am dealing with people who have certain intentions with me, I feel dizzy and see the people in front of me as bully rats and want to beat him.

"Sister is very handsome, can we play with brother~?"

I took a deep breath trying my best to be patient. "Well!"

"Did you just breathe?" Say the girl that makes me more uncomfortable.

"My name is Ryu, I'm as good as you guys. I don't like to play so don't bother me. Excuse me." I replied firmly, without guilt I left those who looked like they were going to curse me.

For me this school is nothing more than an ordinary school but the peaceful life I crave I think will be difficult to achieve after entering this school, I feel hopeless when I have not learned the truth. As my feet stepped suddenly my eyes were fixed on the convenience store that used to be my destination and Hikari, it seemed like lately Hikari had spent a lot of time with Misako. We were just neighbors but we could feel comfortable around it, usually Hikari will reject outsiders but this time he received with chest roominess especially Misako's treatment which usually seems disciplined and annoying. I also strangely started to open my heart to him when all this time I always felt that humans would be good if there was something, but only this time I felt comfortable towards Misako.

Unknowingly my hand moved taking the phone out of the pants pocket and contacting Misaki.

["Hallo Ryu what's wrong? I was playing with Hikari, why did you suddenly call? Hikari don't fall."]

When I heard her voice, my heartbeats started to get abnormal, this had happened since the first time I saw her keep visiting us or accidentally cross paths with me. I would love to go home to be welcomed by Hikari and Misako, I don't know what this feeling is but it means so much to me.

..........

["Don't do that, let's get it over with. We will wait patiently, I will invite Hikari in because the weather is getting colder. Don't forget to bring the fried chicken that was near the old building when passing by."]

"Alright, take good care of Hikari."

In the director's building I was only given some input that they thought would be useful, some words of motivation that are compelling so that I immediately finish the script deployed just like that. I only responded with a small nod while occasionally asking for the idea of not being impressed by just getting in the right ear out the left ear, I gave out some of the scripts I made the day before the director called me. At the end we finished talking after two hours with long conversations that I had to conclude with all my body and soul.

'The point is I should be able to give you the script tomorrow afternoon right?' Inner laughs.

I walked because I was left behind by the bus, because I felt too long waiting for me to finally walk while looking around. I am indeed a freak who walks in the snow season, but this is more sane because usually I only wear thin clothes and end up being scolded all out by my brother.

'Lately Misako has done a lot of useless things.how could she think of preparing this thick scarf and jacket?'

Around the old building there was a well-known fried chicken merchant with a tall twig, a place recommended by Misaki to me back then when we were confused about what to eat. I didn't think it was a good place, but I often passed by but didn't realize anyone was selling fried chicken this well. The long queue did not make me give up on standing even though my legs felt sore.

"Eh Ryu, you haven't been here in a long time. Misako and Hikari are usually here, how are you?" Ask a part-time worker who turns out to be my sister's friend.

"Uncle Ino, I'm here because of the boy's order. As usual, yeah.."

"OK, a pack of jumbo dominant chicken thigh cheese sauce is coming soon! Please wait for your queue hehe. See you later Ryu."

"Yes, thank you uncle."

Uncle Ino is my brother's loyal friend who has died, I don't know but I don't feel dangerous air when I'm with him.

"This is your order Ryu~"

"Thank you uncle, have a good day."

"Yep, come again~"

I went to the convenience store around my house to buy two strawberry milk mine and Misako was also one banana milk for Hikari, then I spent about 15 minutes to walk until I arrived at the door of my apartment. At that time everything was quiet without any welcome, usually Misako would force Hikari to welcome me when she came home. Even my message was not read by Misako.

".. I'm home.."

I put fried chicken and milk on the dinner table, took off my jacket and washed my hands. Out of curiosity I saw my room that was still empty but was tidy like it was this morning, then on the balcony there was also no one like that in the upper room, either, and it turns out that the person I was looking for was in Hikari's room.

"Oh worth it. pftt. make it worry."

I saw Misako fall asleep while hugging Hikari who was holding her waist tight, since when did they get that close? Seeing them sleep well made me not have the heart to wake him up, I put up a blanket and turned off the lights.

As I was about to put fried chicken in the fridge, I saw a bowl of neatly wrapped side dishes. There's paper on it.

'Eat it, don't pretend you're not hungry. If it doesn't run out, I won't cook for you anymore. HIS SE-LA-MA. Don't forget to heat it up.'

"Pft-this is called the inevitable threat letter? It's coercion, already know I can't. forced to eat deh." I said with a smile and then heated up the food.

Seriate...
