Secret Face's
Chapter 5's

In the school corridor, Asia walks with her two close friends Sarah and Vika. The previously bustling gossip has been lost eaten away by time. Asia doesn't have to worry about that anymore.

"A few days have passed. Finally the discussion about it has disappeared by itself."

Asian murmurs in the heart.

School is running as usual. Until the break time arrives, Asia gathers with Sarah and Vika. While eating provisions, someone came to approach the three of them. Asia, Sarah, and Vika were stunned to see the person who approached her. A male student named Anoki who was the next grade came before the girls.

"What's up?"

Ask Sarah to Anoki.

"May I join?"

Anoki asked back.

"Whatchu mean? Don't you see we're busy gathering here? "

Vika is uncomfortable.

"But I brought the provisions. I will not ask for your provisions. Just relax."

Anoki still wanted to join the three of them.

When Vika wants to stand up, Asia holds the arm of her friend and signals her to calm down first. Vika understood and sat back down after that. Asia doesn't mind if it's just eating together. Sarah also did not think too much about it and followed what Asia was feeling. While Vika who initially objected to it, began to receive a little presence Anoki due to the approval of his close friend. Anoki sat down near the three of them.

"You want ?"

Anoki offered the three girls.

"No need to !"

Reply Vika ketus.

"Is this your thing ?"

Ask Sarah.

"Yes. I made it myself."

Anoki opened his box.

The three of them looked at the contents of Anoki's lunch box. The food is simple, but it has a pleasant smell. Sarah was curious about how it felt. Similarly, Asia enjoyed the aroma of Anoki's food.

Asia and Sarah tasted the provisions brought by Anoki. It was delicious according to both of them. While Vika still glanced at two friends after tasting Anoki's provisions earlier.

"You don't want to try Vika?"

Anoki offered him his food.

"Hm.. No. gabe. I'm full already."

Vika turned her face.

Vika still felt dislike for Anoki's presence at that time. Like interrupting a moment with a close friend. He hopes Anoki just this once can disrupt the important moment for him.

Hours of lessons are ongoing. Asia is actively doing the tasks that have been given. When he was almost finished, suddenly the pen he was holding accidentally fell. Asia bends down to get her pen under the table. When the pen had been obtained, Asia saw on her desk there was already a fold of paper. He was curious, then opened the fold of the paper.

"Ahead of school would you like to eat out with me? I'll wait for you across the street."

That's how it is made from the paper. Asia doesn't know who wrote it. He looked around. Guess who gave this to him.

"Do I have to follow him? it reminds me of Jim."

His whisper.

The school sign bell has rung. The students straighten out their books. Asia walks home with Sarah and Vika. He still remembered the invitation to eat outside, but Asia felt she did not need to follow the will of the sender.

"There's no way Jim could have written it, right?."

Thought while walking down the street.

The three of them walked through the usual path. Eventually, they had to part ways. Waving each other's hands and continuing to walk home. Asia is now walking alone towards home. Not until he was at the destination, immediately a stranger who was the target he had been looking for seemed to pass a road.

"That's not him? I have to go after him!"

Asia muttered as she started running.

"He got away again. Does he really live around my house? But he's only seen me twice all this time."

Asia still doubts about the stranger.

The act of running made Asia so thirsty. He also went to the nearest minimarket. After paying for the drink he bought, Asia walked out of the place. Just opening the door of the minimarket, he saw someone was across the street.

It was Niko. Asia started to be astonished, why does she always meet Niko every time she comes out of the minimarket? It's really weird, he thinks.

Niko moved across the street. Asia who saw that, immediately went back inside and hid behind the shelves.

"Our school hasn't had a chat lately. Right after that incident. And also somehow I don't want to see him again outside of school hmm."

He muttered while glancing at the movements of his classmates.

Niko went into the minimarket. He picked up a canned drink that was in the refrigerator. Asia took advantage of the moment to walk out while being invisible to her. After getting out of the minimarket, Asia immediately ran away.

Far away, he returned to the road as usual. A few steps he walked, in front of him was already seen a stranger who was looking for him. He moved quickly like a hurry. Asia thoughtlessly chased after him.

"It's so hard! He's running so fast! "

Asia ran as hard as she could before her target entered another road. There is another road near him at the moment. Asia doesn't want to waste that. He took off his school bag which seemed to hinder his movement. The distance between the two slowly drew closer. Sure enough as expected Asia, the target was directly entering another path. Asia entered the road that she never felt passed.

"He's still in front of my eyes! I have to get it !"

The fast run made him start to lose balance, his footsteps were also not strong anymore. Asia fell to her knees causing injuries to some parts of her body.

"Once again I failed to get it."

Asia will be in trouble.

The next day...

Asia was lying in her bed and unable to walk because some parts of her body still hurt when moved.

"I have to miss school today. Allow me to be sick. Letters follow later."

Write an Asian chat to Sarah and Vika.

After sending a chat to a close friend, Asia took a photo in her bag. He looked at the photo and reflected on his current condition.

----------

Sarah and Vika come to visit Asia. They both asked the current state of Asia. Not to forget, the two also brought their hands to Asia.

"Thank you guys."

"sama-sama Asia. Hope you heal quickly. Your wounds have been treated all?"

Ask Sarah.

"It has. Just some parts of my body like hands and feet hurt when moved."

Reply Asia.

"May Asia recover quickly. School's deserted without you."

"Haha you are this. I'll be back to school soon."

Asia smiled at the two of them and asked that there be no need to worry about her current condition. Sarah and Vika return home. The room was quiet again as before. Asia pulled her blanket and continued to rest.

A few days later...

His hands and feet were feeling better, and the wounds he had treated earlier had improved. He finally returned to school today.

At school, he meets Sarah and Vika. It was a surprise for two of his close friends.

"You're healed? Thank goodness !"

Vika expressed her gratitude. So does Sarah who feels happy because Asia has returned to school.

Besides that during lesson time.

"I'd better see him today."

Asia muttered looking at the book in front of her eyes.
