The Girl With
Girl With [Silent ] #4

“Rian, here change,” call me. Unfortunately, my voice was covered by the large number of people talking and passing by. He couldn't hear me so well, I decided to go up to him and then pat him on the shoulder. He looked a little surprised, before finally turning his head and turning his eyes to me. “Rian, here's a change. You from earlier already gripped, later you even did not enter the video,” explained me.

His face looked awkward when I asked him to speak, probably because I had always been quiet and almost never mingled or talked with others in class.

“Eh? No need, let Rian aja,” he replied while turning off the phone camera for a moment.

“Again, the others have entered the video frame. Stay you doang who has not been because of earlier you who grumbled.” I thrust out my hand, intending to ask for his phone.

However, after several times asking he always tried to reject it. Until I asked for the umpteenth time, and in the end he agreed.

“Really gapapa?” his hands seemed hesitant to give him his phone. “Udah, deh. Rian aja,” he said again while pulling back his hand.

“No papa, here,” said I tried to convince him.

“Ya, okay. Later if you want to change it directly say yes, yes.” reply while giving the phone to me and smile at me.

“Come way, I videoin from behind.”

I opened the camera and started filming myself. Her face looked bright, the corners of her lips formed a beautiful laughter.

“So, now we are again in the small museum of Perpusnas. Can we see here there is an old typewriter—”

I aimed his camera to follow where his hands were pointing, also interspersed with occasional face-recording. It made me smile, he looked so excited. His narrowed eyelids, his wide smile, all about him seemed to emit a positive aura that could make anyone who saw him happy.

“Rian, Rani!” call someone from a distance with his familiar voice in my ear. We both looked at him right after hearing that voice. Meanwhile, my eyes were busy looking for who the owner of the voice was.

Until we finally found someone waving from a distance. “Tia, yes?” rian asked, I don't think long-distance vision is that good.

“Iya, let's go there first, yuk,” invite me, who then replied to a nod by him.

I walked behind him while recording as many moments as possible for our task materials later. On the left, there is a small basket woven neatly arranged, while on the right there are several photos of important moments displayed along the entrance.

“Photo first, yuk,” take Tia when we approach then then drive us to the place where everything is waiting. “Nih, here,” he continued.

“Who is taking photos?” ask me while turning off the video mode that was on earlier.

“This is here, keep using timer later. Try here the phone,” he explained after reaching out. I gave him the phone, then he seemed to run small to a place not too far from where we were.

“Come set his position,” his command.

He seems to be setting his timer mode for a moment. “Udah?” ask Tia.

“Where are you going?” ask again.

“This is here,” replied Arif while pointing to the position that Tia will later occupy in the photo shoot.

After hearing that he immediately pressed the button, then ran towards us.

“Everything says ‘Yeay’, yes.”

“YEAY!”

One of our first photos. We look so happy, happy, cheerful and laugh like there is no burden on our shoulders.

At first, we were just teenagers who just wanted to get the job done.

At first, we were just a bunch of failed teenagers destined to meet in one school.

And in the beginning, we never thought that our interactions today really had an effect on the destiny to come.

If only this trip had never happened.

Will it be different eventually?

Worse, or better?

“Halo? Tia, where are you?”
