Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
25. New Friends

"Queen, I'm sorry you can't go home with me again today. Brother must collect OSIS because from now on must take over the duties of the previous OSIS chairman. Much you have to learn also for your duties during the chairmanship of OSIS this period.” Rapa who stood face to face with her lover was staring unpleasantly at Cleona who was currently pouting.

“About when?” asked Cleona who was honestly heavy back home without Rapa.

“Not yet know, maybe afternoon, or it could be night.”

“Busy it?” Cleona raised her eyebrows.

“Only in the beginning anyway, later after understanding the responsibility as chairman of OSIS hopefully not as busy as this.”

Sighing deeply, Cleona looked up at Rapa who was taller than him. His smile was as sweet as possible. “Yes is fine, but you should not forget to tell Queen. Do not make Queen wait and urgency unclear.”

“OK, darling. Brother must have contacted you.” Said Rapa returning the smile of her beautiful lover.

“Appointment?” said Cleona sticking out her little finger which Rapa quickly linked to her pinky.

“Appointments.” Rapa smiled sweetly. Damaging her long hair with a pity then saying goodbye to return to the OSIS room.

“Sweet is really dating. I want to have a girlfriend too,” Kayla who sits in the chair in front of her class said with envy and a straight look at Rapa's departure until her upperclassman was out of sight.

“Emang there are guys who want to be the same lo, Kay?”

Kayla gave a sharp delicacy to her friend, while Cleona laughed at Kayla's annoyance.

Clara had just returned from the toilet with Nirmala and Shafa, while Alisya had already gone home as soon as the bell rang 10 minutes ago.

“Si Rapa where?” clara asked so did not find her brother there, because as she remembered when she had run to the toilet Rapa was standing leaning in front of Cleona's class.

“Collect OSIS.” Cleona replied lethargicly.

“O, yes already, yuk, go home.” Clara grabs her bag from Cleona's hand, which she left with Rapa.

Stepping with his friends in an exciting chat until they are forced to separate, Kayla and Nirmala turn to the parking lot to pick up their motorcycle, Shafa is riding to his pickup car and Clara is also Cleona who is riding his order taxi.

Going home without Rapa has been quite frequent in the past month. Both the father who was busy at the office and the two mothers who sometimes gather or gather with his friends made the two teenagers finally decided to be independent and go home using a taxi or take an invitation bus.

Since then Clara and Cleona are busy on their phones each making their way to the house filled with silence.

Actually, there was someone who invited Clara to go home together, but she was forced to refuse because she knew that Rapa would not allow it. Her brother was too possessive and that sometimes made Clara upset. There was no heart to let Cleona go home by herself.

Lately Clara was close to someone, still her classmate, he said, but he was not ready to tell his friends even Kayla who was class and my brother did not know about his closeness to the man who had not long ago stolen his attention. It was only through chat that he interacted with her.

Clara turned to her side at a glance, looking at Cleona who was currently smiling to herself at the flat object in her grip. Clara could have guessed that she was texting Rapa, because only her sister was the one who always made Cleona like this.

“To home I used to not, Tu?”

“Gak, deh, I want to go home, want to sleep.”

Cleona and Clara both waved as parting hands before entering their respective homes. Cleona kissed the cheek of the Mami who was watching television accompanying Laura, then rattled her sister's hair angrily after that ran away to go up to her room before Laura floated her nag.

So cool chat with the upperclassman who asked for his number this afternoon to make Cleona forget to change clothes. Just this time he chatted with a stranger, but did not bore him until he reluctantly ended.

He has no intention of cheating let alone betray Rapa, only Alvin is difficult for him to ignore. He is a fun friend, after all his upperclassman knows that he has a lover who is none other than the new OSIS chairman at Kebaperan State High School. Cleona tells her about her relationship with Rapa, and the man doesn't seem to mind hearing her story.

Somehow he could freely tell his life to Alvin who he clearly just knew, because usually telling stories like this is not Cleona at all, but to Alvin he did not feel at all reluctant.

Alvin was like a brother, a friend to tell and someone he knew a long time ago. The man was kind, friendly, pretty talkative, open to the size of a person who was equally new to know, also Alvin was a pleasant figure making Cleona comfortable chat with the man. I don't know if you chat directly and its true nature. But Cleona hopes, hopefully his assessment of Alvin is not wrong.

Finished with her afternoon shower, Cleona checked her phone and found several messages from different people. First, of course, he opened a message from the lover who said that Rapa would come home at night. Cleona pityes on the truth, but how else, being the head of OSIS is Rapa's own motivated desire from her Father and Mother. Cleona could not forbid, because after all she was still a boyfriend and her ban would only be a burden to her lover. Cleona just needs to support and remind Rapa to keep her health.

After replying to Rapa's message, Cleona now switches to opening a message from her friends in the group who only talk about things that are not dissected and then she switches to the message sent by Alvin.

Brother Alvin:

Smells of your sweat, Deck doesn't shower right away.

Slutty!

Smells all the way up here, shit!

Queen:

I took a shower, it was beautiful and fragrant.

You're the one who hasn't taken a shower, brother.

Hiiii disgust.

Cleona laughed as soon as she finished replying to the message from her upperclassman. Putting his phone on the nightstand then he dried his hair using a towel and combed it neatly, until soon his phone rang again, a reply from Alvin who re-published his smile.

Usually Cleona doesn't like to reply to unimportant messages like this, but with Alvin, it feels good. Despite texting her upperclassman, Cleona doesn't forget Rapa, because after all Rapa is her lover and she promises to be honest and scold Alvin for her boyfriend, he did not want any misunderstandings that would ruin his relationship with Rapa, and honestly was one of them.
