Secret Face's
Chapter 4's

The day has changed. Draining the alarm that had been set earlier, woke Asia from her sleep. He rubbed his eyes several times and blinked until his vision was clear. Asia stood up, opening the curtains that closed the window of her room. Then go clean up to get ready to start her daily routine. At breakfast, he checks his phone. The previous discussion was discussed by the children of his class until midnight. Asia only sighed after seeing that discussion. After finishing her breakfast, Asia left home. His mood is not so good today. The effect of the discussion made him not excited as usual. Asia walked to cross the train. Across the road he stopped walking. His intention to go to school began to decline. The mood that was not so pleasant for him, made him want to skip for now. There was the sound of a train bar that wanted to close, Asia swiftly turned the direction and ran across. Then he decided to go somewhere.

Asia hasn't visited this place for a long time. He thought about Jim's current situation. Asia immediately climbed to the top of the building through the existing stairs. Upon arriving, he did not see Jim. Sit and see the view around. That's all Asia does up there. He picked up the drink in his bag, then sipped it for a moment. The surrounding scenery looks so calm, but the heart that Asia has does not feel the same.

"My heart is opposite to the situation around here. I don't know why I don't like me right now."

Asia bowed her head.

An hour after Asia arrived above the old building, she suddenly heard a voice from someone behind her. He turned to look towards the voice. Now a Jim present with the usual position that is behind him.

"Have you been here long ?"

Ask Jim to Asia.

"Yes about an hour ago."

Answer Asia in a low tone.

"You're not going to school today? Are you truant?"

Jim asked again after realizing that Asia was wearing a school uniform at the time.

Asia was silent and did not answer. He was downcast in such an unpleasant mood.

"Why? Are you experiencing something?"

Asia is still silent. Jim who felt that something was not good immediately held both shoulders. Asia was shocked in a still subdued state.

"Don't look back and calm yourself."

jim said as he patted both Asian shoulders.

"It kind of ruins my mood."

Sayar Asia's.

"Someone must have experienced something like that. And don't make it an obstacle for you to live the day."

Said Jim who was trying to calm the heart of Asia.

Then Asia told me what had just happened. He told me himself with a little annoyance. Jim listened to every word. After Asia told the story, Jim again patted both of Asia's shoulders several times. The clap made Asia hold her head up and look towards the front.

"Don't face down. Lookin' in front of you. The road is long. Why would something like that stop you? It will fade by itself. It just takes time and clarity. So strengthen your heart. That's just a mere gosipan. Not yet grey and such. Let's strengthen yourself. Don't be a weak girl."

Heard what Jim said so encouragingly. Asia's mood began to improve. Asia thanked Jim for listening and encouraging him. Then after that, Asia changed the discussion about the people she had been looking for so far at Jim's request. He told her about his journey until he found the target. Jim appreciated the efforts made by Asia. Not to forget he gave the girl extra zest.

"Thank you jim. My mood is starting to improve."

Asia bowed her thanks.

"Thank you also to your heart for accepting an input. I'm just trying to help as I can."

He said as he stroked Asia's shoulders.

A sunny day and the surrounding scenery that is eye-catching, now no longer opposite to the mood owned by Asia. Finally they are in the same position of calmness. Jim pulled his fingers away from Asia's shoulders, then sat behind her. Jim started a new conversation so that the atmosphere does not feel empty. He asked about Asian daily life, school, to his close friends. The girl told me excitedly and happily. Some of his stories also made Jim laugh.

That moment of togetherness took hours. Now Jim knows things about an Asian from the story he shared earlier.

"You're a jolly boy."

Said Jim

Asia was speechless with an unexpected expression.

"Why? You didn't realize it?"

Jim asked while standing up.

"Hm.. I don't know."

Jim chuckled, then looked at the passing train near the area. Asia also saw him interspersed with a thin smile.

The train had gone so far that it could no longer be seen from the top of the building where the two of them were. Jim looked back. Asia was lying down with her school bag as a pillow for her head. The girl lay on her side and fell asleep in an instant. Jim stroked Asia's hair while looking at her face.

"Women... Famous for his heart. Being attacked can hurt him. But I do believe that you can be strong against attacks from out there."

"Jim seems to have gone home. I'd better go home too."

On the road approaching home, Asia accidentally met with 2 close friends. Sarah and Vika. They looked at each other, staring at each other. The same expression shown by the three of them was shock (seen on their faces). Spontaneous Sarah and Vika immediately approached Asia who was still silent in place.

"Asian! where have you been? Why didn't you come to school ?"

Ask Sarah.

Vika asked the same thing.

Asia responds with a smile to her two close friends.

"I'm sorry, because I've been in the classroom gossip."

Vika said to Asia.

"I'm sorry too."

Sarah continued.

"It's been... Forget about that. I'm okay."

Asian Yoke.

"alright. I just don't feel good about this close friend of mine."

Vika feels guilty.

"Then what about school? Was there a task?"

Ask Asia.

"There was. I'm lending you my notebook."

Sarah gave me her notebook.

"Oh yes, your notebook is Vika? Sorry I should have returned it yesterday."

"It's not why Asia. Don't worry about it."

Vika said casually.

Then they discussed some of the schoolwork that had been given at the school earlier.

After that they went home.

It was late at night, Asia was doing some of her schoolwork. After he finished working on everything, he wanted to go out for a while to buy some snacks at the minimarket. Asia had already bought what she wanted. After coming out of the minimarket, she saw someone standing while drinking a canned drink across the street. That person is Niko. Stopped his footwork after seeing Niko was already in front of him.

"He's right here. How is this ?"

Asian Gumam.

Niko looked at Asia. He then crossed over to approach his classmate. He started talking afterwards.

"How are you ?"

"Well, are you?"

Asia asked back.

"Yes pretty good. You're shopping."

Niko looked at the groceries that were fortified by Asia.

"Yes. What's wrong?"

"It's okay. Shall I take you home?"

"No need. I can go home by myself. See you soon."

Asia accelerated her pace leaving Niko in front of the minimarket.

He was relieved that he did not want to repeat the incident a second time.
