Pursuing the Love of Rhea
Beautiful Busker
This morning Rhea was tidy with her school uniform and preparing for breakfast with her family in the dining room.
" Morning all...!!" Rhea greeted everyone at the dinner table cheerfully.
" Morning is also Rhee!!" Father, mother and Rafka compact reply greeting Rhea.
" Gavin didn't pick you up Rhee??" Mother Citra asked when Rhea was sitting on her stool.
" Not knowing bund. Maybe just a little more." Rhea started to spoon the fried rice into her mouth.
When Rhea had finished breakfast, a message notification came to her phone.
It turns out that Gavin sends a message to Rhea that Gavin is waiting for Rhea in front of the gate of the girl's house and gives the reason for her delay due to bad luck.
" Well, I'm leaving first. Brother Gavin has been waiting outside, he said he woke up late so not to miss his mother with the father afraid late." Rhea began to stand up and greet both her parents and Rafka.
" Oh, be careful, Rhee!! Say hello to Gavin." Dad then went back to eating his breakfast the next morning.
Rhea just nodded her head and then picked up her bag.
" Rhee.wait a minute!!" Mother stopped Rhea who was about to leave the dining room and she rushed to the kitchen to pick up something.
" You brought Gavin breakfast to Rhee. Gavin hasn't had breakfast." Mother put the fried rice with cow's eye eggs into the lunch box and put it in a Paper bag.
" Ni Rhee, you love Gavin yes!!" Mother Citra thrust the Paper bag at Rhea.
" Ciee..mother, Care very same prospective ghost!!" Rafka smiles mocked mother.
" So you can't just one day just don't complain about people??" Rhea glared back at Rafka and received a Paper bag from her mother.
" Can't. Hahaha.awwww.sick bund!!" Rafka receives a pinch gift from mother for not being able to stand still.
" Racaine. Ahaha.." Now Rhea who laughed was happy to see Rafka's suffering and rushed out to meet Gavin.
" This is from mom!!" Rhea handed her the paper bag when the girl was in front of Gavin.
" What's Rhee??" Gavin was curious and then looked at the contents in the paper bag. "Wahh.nasi goreng. Aunty Citra if I haven't had breakfast. Thanks to Rhee." Gavin smiled happily and put the breakfast back into the Paper bag.
" Hmm.yuk ntar late!!" Rhea took the helmet on Gavin's bike and put it on.
Gavin just nodded his head and started to turn on his motor. While Rhea directly climbed on the Gavin motorbike without saying anything more.

" Rhee...Rhea..!!"'s...!!" Ara's shout managed to stop Rhea's footsteps and made the girl turn around.
" Morning Rhee!! You left with Gavin, right??" Ara who had just approached Rhea immediately interrogated her best friend.
" Know Lo!!" Rhea just answered briefly and resumed her steps towards the classroom.
" Yes know!! I'll see Lo sitting in the bollard of Kak Gavin's motorbike earlier." Ara then took Rhea's arm.
" If you know why?? It's weird!!" Rhea just smiled wryly and then sped up her pace with Ara.
" Why aren't you with Gavin Rhee?? Where's the guy?? How are you alone??" Ara flocked Rhea with many questions making Rhea annoyed.
" He's waiting for his friends in the parking lot. Can't it be if I'm following along too??"
" Yes too!! Btw today we have art class right rhee?? Can you play a musical instrument, Rhee??" Ara and Rhea had already entered the classroom and placed their bags on the table.
" I'm just playing the piano. Kalo Lo Ra??" Rhea has piano skills because Mother Citra put Rhea in piano lessons when she was a child.
" I can play guitar Rhee a little bit. I was once taught by my cousin."
Ara smiled happily because she could also play musical instruments even though she was not very proficient.
" It's good Ra. Teach me sometime. I also want to learn to play guitar. It's cool that girls play guitar." Rhea also smiled, imagining that she could play the guitar would look cool too.
" Yipp!! But Lo should also teach me piano too huh. Deal??" Ara extended her hand to Rhea.
" Deal!!" Rhea returned Ara's hand and the two of them laughed together.

" What is Vin??" Azka saw Gavin carrying a Paper bag as the four of them walked towards the classroom.
" Owhh.this is my breakfast from Rhea's mother." Gavin smiled happily at the Paper bag he was carrying.
" Wah...Baek Camer Lo Vin!! Don't forget to share Vin!" Dhafi seemed interested in Gavin's breakfast.
" Can't!! Eat in the canteen! This one's mine." Gavin hugged his Paper bag tightly so as not to be prey by his three friends.
" Mast Lo!!" Alex also mocked Gavin and then tried to take the Paper bag that was in Gavin's lap.
" Don't fuck around!! I want to kick it!!" Gavin tries to evade and pose a threat so Alex stops the action. Alex was a little afraid that his face would not be handsome anymore if Gavin really beat him up.
" Woii..hunt!! Both of you are a spectacle of that class!!" Dhafi and Azka had already walked in front of Alex and Gavin who were still busy with the Paper bag earlier. It turned out that the two of them had already become a spectacle of a younger brother class who was standing in the corridor towards the 11th grade staircase.
Gavin and Alex stared at each other fiercely and followed the two friends to their second-floor class.

Teettt...
The sound of the break bell has sounded. Rhea and all her friends in the 10th grade of IPA 1 are currently just finishing art lessons in the music room.
" Okay kids. I hope next Sunday you can all show your skills in playing musical instruments. This task will add a plus in the value of your art. So I hope you train earnestly. Since the break bell has rung, today's lesson I'm ending here. Thank you." Thank you."
Ms. Siska who is an art teacher immediately left the music room as soon as she finished giving assignments to all her students.
" We're good at bringing you what song Rhee did next week?? " Ara was thinking hard about the song she would choose for her art assignment this time.
" I don't know Ra either. There's no idea. Let's just think about it." Rhea was being lazy thinking about the task for now because her stomach was starting to feel hungry.
" What kind of musical instrument can you both play??" The question from Adit the class leader stopped the chatter of Rhea and Shasa.
" If I can play guitar but not really good at it. If Rhea could play the piano. That Lo dit??" Ara questioned Adit's skill in playing musical instruments.
" If I could play guitar with drums." Adit prides himself a little on his skills to Rhea and Shasa.
" Great dong dit!! Jago didn't play?? I want to see this!!" Rhea was a little curious about Adit's abilities.
" Can. Want to see me play drums what guitar??" Adit gave Rhea a choice.
" The guitar is. How's Ra??" Rhea looked at Ara to ask her opinion.
" Guitar can too." Ara seemed to agree with Rhea.
" Yipp!! I don't play alone, though!! One of you has to sing for me to play guitar. Won't you??" Adit looked at Rhea and Ara alternately waited for an answer.
" Let's sing Rhee. If I were to sing to Lo's ears both would slide because of my voice. Hehe.."
Ara could only grin the horse imagining Rhea and Adit's ears would shift due to her discordant voice.
" It could be Lo Ra. Yeah, you want to bring me what song dit?" Rhea then looked at Adit asking what song they would both be performing.
" Hmmm...if the old song can not be dit??" Rhea now begins to negotiate with Adit.
Adit who heard Rhea's request slightly scrunched his forehead." Okay, but not too old, Rhee?"
" Hahaha, no doubt" Rhea chuckled at Adit's words. " I want to sing a song from Mytha Lestari titled Removing the Engraved One. Can you not dit?"
Adit seemed to think for a moment, "oohhh. Kuy!! I'll take the guitar first." Adit then stood up and picked up the guitar in the corner of the music room.
" Fighting Rhee!!" Ara gave spirit to Rhea who was answered by a thumbs up by Rhea.
Adit started strumming his guitar. Find the right tone with the song that will be performed with Rhea.
" Any Rhee??" Adit looked at Rhea asking about the girl's readiness and was nodding his head back by Rhea. Adit started strumming his guitar.
It's not easy to cast your shadow
You were the first to fill the recesses of my heart oh...
It's not easy to let go of this taste
But I realized I meant more
Run and keep running
Until this taste goes
What I should do
To forget you
Until I turn it off
I can't
What I should do
To wipe you out oh
Which is engraved in my heart
I once thought it was all my fault
You turned to another love
But I finally understood oh
What you have is not true love
Run and keep running
Until this taste goes..
What do I have to do to release you
Until I die, I try I can't
What should I do to eliminate you
It's etched in the heart oh..
I thought we'd be both forever
I didn't think you were double oh
But what am I doing with him
Who doesn't love me..
What do I have to do to release you
Until I die, try I can't
What should I do to eliminate you
Which is engraved in my heart ho.ho..
What is engraved in my heart
I can't erase ho..
What is engraved
It's etched in my heart oh.ho..
You are the one engraved in my heart
I can't delete it..
Prock.prokkk.
The sound of applause filled the music room that afternoon. All the students who were still in the room stared at Rhea in awe.
" Waahhh..Lo's voice is so good Rhee!!!" Ara approached Rhea and Adit who were already putting on an incredible show.
" Lo is also great!" Ara gave two thumbs up acknowledging Adit's greatness playing guitar.
Rhea and Adit just smiled at each other and then stood up from their respective seats.
Adit put the guitar back into the corner of the room while Rhea embraced Shasa's arm, taking her best friend out to the cafeteria as her stomach began to feel hungry.
" It turns out you can sing too, Rhee?? The voice of Lo is so sweet. Where's Rhee??" Ara who had been praising Rhea now turned to tease her best friend.
" I usually cram at the crossroads of red lights. Satisfied Lo??" Rhea glared back at the ara who was walking beside her.
" If the busker is beautiful like Lo, I will feel at home back and forth to see Lo sing Rhee." Suddenly Adit was already walking beside Rhea.
" Yeee.mau. Do you want to go to the cafeteria?? Rhea looked at Adit whose height exceeded Rhea's head.
" Yoi.worm in my stomach again demo mintak filled. hahaha.." Adit laughed happily as he rubbed his hungry stomach.
" Oh yeah, we were together. Kuy!!" The three of them went to a cafeteria not too far from the music room.
As the three of them were still busy chatting, suddenly Gavin came to block their steps. Gavin pulled Rhea's hand so that the girl stood beside him.
" Rhea with me!! Go both first!!" Gavin stared intently at Adit and Ara so they both just nodded their heads and hurried to leave Gavin and Rhea.
" I want to talk to you!!" Gavin looked at Rhea for a while and then clasped the girl's hand to follow her.
" I'm lager brother!!" Rhea tried to let go of Gavin's hand.
" I bought food. Come with me first!!" Gavin continued his steps. While Rhea can only resign and be silent following Gavin's will. Better to give in than waste energy Rhea thought.
