Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
S2 Chapter 11 – Silence Vincent

If Viani thinks when she gets to school, Vincent will welcome her warmly, this time it all feels different. Vincent looks cold, doesn't talk much and is also often absent from class.

The guy reportedly spends a lot of time because there will be a swimming competition held next week. The teachers gave him a dispensation to be in the pool more often and be trained by former senior swimming athletes who are alumni of the school as well. The news of Vincent's participation in this competition even Viani can from others. The guy refused to tell her directly.

“Quick swimming! Bengong aja lo kayak dugong!” shouted Mr. Kuncoro in a swimming uniform in the form of a black pink-striped speedo. “Space! I want to speed!! L-A-J-U!”

Vincent, who was bored, tried to spur his body to dart in the pool as fast as possible, ignoring the screams of Mr. Kuncoro who trained him as a prospective member of the naval TNI.

Her mind floated on the other day as she looked at the beautiful Viani that night. The girl dressed up sweetly just for herself. But now, everything feels different. Vincent could no longer look at him with the warmest eyes he had ever seen. He couldn't …

“GUE WANTS A FAST DUGONG! BASH THE ROAD, BEGO! YOU WON'T WIN NEXT WEEK, HUH? LO SWIM WHAT BERAK INSIDE AER?!”

Makian Pak Kuncoro increasingly deafen Vincent's ears to continue to dart as he wants. So he spurred, even harder to break his own record.

...***...

Arriving at school, at ten o'clock in the morning, Vincent thought he wouldn't meet Viani. But in fact, now the girl suddenly appeared from the UKS and came to him. There was a tired, anxious, lethargic murat that made him look a little paler.

“Vincent ...” call him in a slow voice. “Where have you been for a few days?”

Viani looked at Vincent's look with half wet hair and a shirt that had not been put in his pants. The girls at the morning gym stopped and looked at Vincent. Others shouted direct appeal to Vincent recklessly and shamelessly.

But Viani couldn't wait any longer. He saw the lover, asking for an answer with that gaze.

“Ikut bentar ...” Vincent pulled Viani's hand, grabbed her and led the girl to the bike parking lot.

The girl is now in a quiet area without anyone bothering her. Looked at Vincent who looked so handsome. But that's not what's his concern right now. It seems their relationship is now broken. Viani did not understand what was the matter between them. He needs an explanation for Vincent's disappearance over the course of a few days.

Viani looked at Vincent with anxiety. “Vincent, why? What was? I made it wrong?”

But the next thing that happened was something beyond Viani's expectations at all. No apologies, no calming words. Viani is increasingly confused to see Vincent's silence.

“Vincent, if I'm wrong, I'm sorry. Don't be fooled I gini.”

Amidst Viani's attempts to beg for an explanation, the man took off his hand, turned his back, creating such a wide distance between the two.

“Vi .. we forget all that happened between us. I no longer feel the same as you.”

There was pain running through Viani's chest. His feelings are raging about his incomprehension of everything that happens. It was only a few days ago that the guy was being nice to her, and now it has changed so much. “Why? Why is this, Vin? I made a mistake until you sentin me like this?”

“I have another girl ..”

Viani's mouth opened and her hands immediately shook at Vincent's confession. “What? Who?”

“You don't need to know who he is. Obviously, I can't continue this relationship anymore, Vi. Sorry ..”

Plaque!

Viani slapped him. His shoulders were up and down with a burst of emotion from feeling betrayed. It was like Viani was cursing and cursing, but what happened was that she could do nothing. All the emotion and energy he put out to slap Vincent, until the guy's cheeks flushed red.

Vincent seemed to be just welcome and impressed indifferent. Regardless of Viani staying behind him, Vincent leaves, leaving Viani alone.

The girl crouched down with wide eyes rounded unceremoniously and glazed. From which was just a drop, it turned into a stream of tears that flooded her pretty face. The heart that was originally like a newly bloomed flower, now becomes crumpled with a reason that he still cannot accept.

...***...

Vincent was reading his comic book in class. A week after he dropped out of Viani, one school was in a frenzy. Men and women who are overloaded with hormones approach them like bees looking for flowers. But no one is attached to the hearts of both.

“Lo why broke up from Viani, Vin?” asked Harry who suddenly appeared from the middle of nowhere with Hana. Couples who are also newly created are always attached like twins.

The question he had repeatedly heard made him feel completely bored. “No other questions, what?”

“Nothing. We're curious. We thirst gossip—“

Hana nudged Harry in the stomach until the man complained and looked at Vincent cynically. “Lo is a really mean guy, Vin! You just dated Viani, how have you played any other girl?!”

Harry looked at Hana. “But Beb, where's the chick? Which was? What class?”

“My girl at another school ..” replied Vincent casually. “If you don’t mind, I have a very important thing to do, help to hear you guys keep asking me for something you already know the answer is.”

“If-you-arrghh!! Lo what the hell is that?!” harry was angry. "You have no idea how that kid is so sad right now!"

Hana rolled her eyeballs. “Udah ah, unplug. I have to go to Viani. Mending me entertain him rather than here concerned about cheating.”

Vincent does not care about the two lovebirds who incidentally are insinuating it. He continued reading his book like no burden.

...***...

There are many activities that Vincent does to get rid of his boredom. He still had to practice swimming and was forged militarily by Pak Kuncoro who seemed to be convulsing if he did not swim as the man wished.

She had no problem, because with swimming, she was able to escape the school a little and avoid Viani for a while. Hope the girl can rediscover her spirit and move on from their relationship that has run aground.

But what happened was beyond Vincent's expectations. He only realized that it had been seven days that he had not seen Viani anywhere. The girl was absent from the class, the science club she attended and was also completely invisible in the cafeteria. Curious, he went to the library, hoping to see again a brown unraveling figure with a pair of round brown eyes that always looked at him warmly, even though there was nothing else between them.

But what was seen there was a crying Hana, while Harry beside her comforted her with a soft elution on his arm. As the girl's cries had not subsided, Harry gave up and she left.

The boy's steps were stopped when he met Vincent on the library doorstep. Harry was upset to see the face of Vincent's wall. “Ngapain you see my girl crying? Pegi lo!”

Vincent shakes. “Gue not see Hana. I just want to know where Viani.” is

Harry laughed bitterly. “Lo where are you from? From the jungle so Tarzan? One school has been excited because Viani moved school two days ago.”

The news left Vincent glued to his place. He didn't know what to do or what to react to. He just wanted to break up from Viani, and not see her go this way.

“Lo know where she moved?” ask Vincent.

“No one knows .. That's why Hana is crying."

A decision to change schools is certainly not something that can be easily done. Did Viani really do that to get away from him?

If so, then maybe this is the best decision that Viani has taken even though her heart is not willing. On their new relationship blossomed with happiness that was taken by force. On all the memories between him and Viani that could never be lost from his mind.

Vincent took a short breath, with a tight chest, he left the library. All of those feelings he had to endure, even though his heart was also swollen from longing.
