Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
2. The First Day that Continues

On the first day of Cleona was already the attention of many people. How not, because he is currently walking side by side with Rapa, one of OSIS idol of women and even men it has become the target of the students of class X who just entered this.

In fact, Cleona had driven away the creature, which she unfortunately had to admit was handsome, but indeed it was basically Rapa who was stubborn and shameless, continued to follow despite the frequent evictions Cleona lay.

“Cle, actually Brother Rapa who lo?” Nirmala who was walking on Cleona's left side whispered.

“Nobody.”

“Masa? But, what, I feel like there's nothing between you? What did Kak Rapa say that your future wife was right?” Nirmala kept asking, because no matter how curious she was about her new friend.

“Ish, he's nobody to me, Mala! Lagian lo believe it is the same as he said, the man is just usually playin feelings of women, make fly and then after he fell. Fucking guy like that's not my type.”

“Gue, right, not the jerk Queen,” Rapa who heard the words of the woman next to her also opened her voice.

Cleona just rolled her eyes lazily, reluctant to reply. Accelerating her pace, Cleona pulled Nirmala towards the cafeteria as the hunger was already so she felt.

Rapa gave chase and sat down as soon as she found the two. Of course they were in the spotlight of the people in the cafeteria, and that made Cleona uncomfortable.

“Rap, please, go from here, or find another table. I don't want to be the attention of a lot of people. I don't like it,” Cleona said a little pleading to the man sitting next to her.

“But, Qu ..”

“Please!”

Rapa let out a sigh of resignation then got up from her seat, gently rubbed Cleona's hair then left from the woman's presence. Follow the Queen's wishes. Breathing in relief, Cleona was finally able to eat quietly without the curious gazes of the people.

Finished finishing her meatballs and orange ice, Cleona and Nirmala rushed to leave the canteen, as the bell entering would ring in about ten minutes. Slowly Cleona's steps came to a halt, as soon as her eyes caught a pair of chatting and joking humans in front of her, the sound of laughter was clearly heard in Cleona's hearing, despite trying to not care, still, some of her heart felt sore, and it made Cleona hate the man even more.

Sighing for a moment, Cleona displayed her calm face as usual past the two who were still laughing without even turning her head in the slightest. Trying not to care and pretending not to see. Even though the moment was right in front of them his heartbeat seemed to be at a standstill for a while.

Just two steps past them, Cleona suddenly stopped a step, as a hand held her back. Lazily, Cleona turned her head and found Rapa smiling sweetly at him.

“Later home with me,”

“Gue picked up papi,” Cleona replied quickly.

“Queen baby, remember, papi said what a few days ago? Queen's coming home to Rapa. Must be with Rapa, can not take the bus or even between others.” Rapa reminded Cleona of Leo's message some time ago.

Grunting angrily and stomping her feet, Cleona's face turned sullen, and it succeeded in making Rapa anxious. Forced, Cleona finally nodded, though inwardly continued to curse her father.

Rapa takes off her grip on Cleona's hand and tells her to return to class after breaking Cleona's long hair which makes the girl pee off, as her hair becomes messy, whereas Rapa just chuckles amusedly.

Throughout the rest of the journey, Nirmala kept asking about the relationship between Cleona and Rapa. But still his new friend did not also tell, and just said that between them there was no relationship. Nirmala finally chose to nod, despite her disbelief, but she was sure there would be a time when she knew.

In class it turns out that it has been filled by many people, making a state of unrestrained boisterous. Nirmala and Cleona sat on their respective benches, chatting lightly until the three older sisters Pembina came and time filled with games already prepared OSIS. Simple games such as morning, day, night, and the wrong ones will get punished. This OSIS makes to make prospective new students feel confident, can interact well and also train cohesiveness.

The game started, and so far is still safe, but not when OSIS mentions randomly and suddenly. Making one by one punishments, some singing, dancing, making poetry, expressing feelings and many other punishments that are so entertaining.

Cleona who had been lazy to go to school since morning, now laughed because she was comforted by the ridiculousness of her classmates. To the point of not realizing that the game was back in the beginning and Cleona did not applaud when OSIS called morning, noon, night.

“Queen!”

Cleona snorted in annoyance, stood up from her seat and charged forward forcefully, giving a murderous look at Rapa who was displaying a mocking smile at her. Cleona knew that this was the man to get himself punished.

“What are the suitable penalties for Cleona?” Mirna asked everyone in the room.

“What are your feelings, Queen?” Rapa made a suggestion, raising her eyebrows while looking at the sour-faced Cleona.

A smile rose on Cleona's lips, but of course it was a mischievous smile that was shown to the tall handsome man. “Yakin Rap want to see me real feeling?”

“Yakin dong, from the same real me,” replied Rapa while blinking one eye made Cleona rotate the eyeball lazily.

“But darling, my statement is not make lo,” reply Cleona.

“Continue to whom?” curious Rapa asked.

“You sure you want to know?” Rapa nodded. “Will not be jealous?” Rapa fell silent and it made Cleona carve a triumphant smile.

“Don't, mending lo sing, pause, I take the guitar first.” Rapa ran from the class making everyone stare at the man's departure.

Mirna, the woman stared dislikefully at Cleona. But of course Cleona ignored, after all, since long ago she had often gotten such gazes from her Junior High friends. The game continues while waiting for Rapa and Cleona's punishment runs.

Before long, Rapa returns with the guitar in her hand, enters and asks Cleona to return to the front for her sentence to be resumed.

Rapa pulled out a chair for herself that would play the guitar, while Cleona remained standing beside Rapa. Everyone waited curiously about what Cleona would sing. But almost all the women in the class were focused on Rapa who looked more handsome when strumming guitar strings on her lap. And that was enough to make Cleona let out back her grunt that was somehow much for today.
