The Faithful Guard at Kala Kubuta
Hafidz Long

...Sometimes hope doesn't always happen and the most important thing is the effort....

.........

The day passed again. Syafira's long existence in his hometown has been a week with today. And since this week he has not been in school, even though it has been a week for Sanubari High School students to return to school with a new school year.

However, that is not the case with Syafira today. Because, now the beautiful girl is ready and looks neat with her school uniform that looks polite and a little Syar'i. In front of the mirror, Syafira also published her smile. He really felt happy today. What made her look so happy now. In the end, Hafidz went into his room.

"Eh, are you going to school, Dek?" asked Hafidz who was surprised to see the Sister who already looked so neat.

"Wa'alaikumussalam ..." said Syafira while putting on his lazy face staring at the Big Brother. Seeing this, instantly made Hafidz giggle amusedly. Honestly, Hafidz had not seen the expression of the Little Brother as he is today.

"Hehehe yes, sorry. Assalamu'alaikum Ara," said Hafidz who spontaneously rubbed the soft head of the Brother. Syafira who was treated like this also immediately smiled sweetly.

"Wa'alaikumussalam Abang. Hehehe ..." said Syafira who ended with a slight rarity from him. Hafidz also smiled to see the Little Sister who was like the old Syafira. It was as if now he felt, that the incident four months ago had never happened at all. Hafidz hoped, hopefully Syafira will continue like this again, without a single sad look.

"Sir, I miss you who have always been like this. I hope you continue like this and never look sad again" Hafidz said in his heart. And yes, as usual Syafira also heard the words of Hafidz very well. And again, that sweet smile came back out of her ripe lips.

"God willing, Bang. Hopefully, what Ara hoped for today can be realized and hopefully the hopes of Syafira and Abang will not produce disappointment later, aamiin.." he replied in his heart, who never stopped smiling at His Brother.

"Hey," said Hafidz surprisingly Syafira who was pensive just looked at him. Getting a handshake in front of his face, immediately made Syafira instantly aware of his daydream. As if, he had just been hit by someone's hypnosis. But the truth is not like that.

"Yaudah, how do you want to go now or not be a school?" asked Hafidz who instantly made Syafira display her adorable expression.

"Buehhh ... Brother!!" whining with spoiled.

Seeing the behavior of the Adorable Sister, immediately immediately made Hafidz pull the cheek of the Sister who looks so cuby. "Iihhhh .. gemesin really, Dek." he said that still pulled the cheek of the Brother.

Plaque!

"Awww...hurt or, Dek." said Hafidz who immediately rubbed the back of his hand that had just been hit by Syafira. Syafira who was blamed was just staring at the Big Brother flatly.

"Who told you to pull your cheeks, Ara? Sick tau," said Syafira with annoyance and immediately left the Brother alone in his room. However, before that, Syafira snatched her bag in her study chair first and then she came out of the room.

"Well, lash again" said Hafidz, who breathed violently.

...

"Dek, let's not be angry with rich gini same brother." persuaded Hafidz again who continues to focus on driving. However, occasionally his gaze turned to the Little Sister who looked so angry.

Honestly, Syafira was not really angry with Hafidz. However, Syafira really felt longing to prank the Big Brother today. "Sorry brother, today Ara wants to make my sister upset first, hehehe .." he said in his heart and continued to silence all the words of the Brother who continued to persuade him.

And until the end, Hafidz car has arrived in front of the gate of Sanubari High School. However, Syafira still did not care about the Big Brother who continued to persuade him.

"Syafira of the school, Assalamu'alaikum ..." her saying immediately grabbed the back of the Big Brother's hand and kissed him quickly. Then, Syafira immediately got out of the car of the Big Brother, regardless of the call from the Big Brother who was in the car earlier.

Syafira continued to walk into the territory of that class and towards the second floor where class XII was located. And oh yes, about Syafira's class now, last night she was told by Kayla, that Syafira returned one class with her and they were both placed in class XII.IPA1.

With a smile that never faded in the slightest, Syafira continued walking up the stairs towards the second floor. To the extent that Syafira did not realize there was Quela who was in front of him and blocked the path of Syafira.

"Shayefira!" Syafira would almost hit Quela if Kayla did not startle Syafira from behind. Syafira immediately stopped her steps and turned her body to face Kayla who was heading towards her, without realizing the existence of Quela in her hole or rather behind her now.

"Alhamdulillah, you are finally back again, Fir." said Kayla, when she was in front of Syafira. Syafira also developed her smile back to look at her best friend.

"It turns out, during these four months, Kayla has not changed at all" he thought inwardly.

"Yes Kay, Alhamdulillah .." he said.

"Ck, you're a bully, lo." dejected Quela by stomping her legs on the stairs and after that, she immediately left, very upset to the two girls. Syafira who had just noticed Quela's presence in front of him, instantly felt confused. Meanwhile, Kayla who already knew what was going to happen before, now could only give a small chuckle staring at the frustration on Quela.

"That's Quela, isn't it?" tanya Syafira who felt a little forgotten by the faces of students and students of Sanubari High School.

"Yes, she's Quela, Fir. Yaudah, if that's how we go straight to class, yuk! You see soon the bell will ring." take Kayla who did not forget with a friendly smile.

"Jude, come!" agreed Syafira. And finally the two teenage girls immediately continue their steps to climb the stairs. And after they arrived in front of class XII.IPA1, the two of them immediately entered the class that already looked a little crowded and there were only a few empty chairs and tables in this class now.

"Assalamu'alaikum ..." - Kayla and Syafira entered the classroom. Spontaneously, all eyes were immediately turned to Syafira, making Syafira feel ashamed of himself.

Kringgg .. kringgg ...!!

Hearing the bell ringing, Kayla and Syafira rushed to their seats where they were still one table, but different chairs, regardless of the gaze of everyone who was fixed on him.
