...Sunny Ep.04 |Cloudy|...

This morning was a little cloudy. The rain also fell heavily when the sun had not fully appeared. Sunny had to be escorted Winter to get to school because he did not want a favorite princess and only the puppet was left behind because today is so important for the princess.

First day national exam. Sunny has been so excited since getting off his father's black Range Rover. His steps swayed cheerfully towards the computer lab that would be his place to undergo a math exam today.

Arriving, there were already more than twenty disciples who came and sat down according to the master number of the exam. Sunny searched, and it didn't take long to find her seat. After that, he took a look at the corner of the room. There were some students from the regular class he had seen. In his mind, Sunny secretly prayed for Ben to be in this class as well. It was his only desire before they parted with their respective paths of life and ideals.

There aren't. Ben's not in this class. Or is he just not there yet?

Sunny continues to convince herself that Ben will be in a class with her. And as if God granted his do'a. There, right at the laboratory entrance, his manic and bead Ben meet. Then the young man looked down and walked in looking for his seat. Sunny was relieved, even smiling inwardly when God actually answered his sincere do'a.

A second later, Sunny seemed to be surprised by the gentle scent she still remembered. The scent belonged to someone who made her wish for more. The aroma that makes his heart beat when it reaches into the senses of penyidu. Ben, he's the owner.

Right next to Sunny's right is Benodick's seat. The young man sat stiffly and stared straight at the brightly lit computer screen illuminating his facial features which Sunny, according to him, were beautiful, different from the others. Because indeed, of all the human communities living in this country, Ben has a different eye shape that Sunny thinks is unique, and looks very adorable if the owner is laughing. The squinty eyes of that crescent moon would disappear forming an impressive straight line. Sunny likes the different things Ben has. Yes, Sunny really likes it.

“Hai. Long time no see, Ben.” greeting Sunny tried to establish familiarity once again with Ben. But a different reaction is now shown by Ben to Sunny. The young man smiled until his eyelids formed a straight line as Sunny liked, then replied.

“Hai, Sun. You're in class today?”

Sunny nodded enthusiastically. Talks like this were very step-by-step, so Sunny did not want to waste much less being pretentious. He should respond as enthusiastically as possible.

“How are you?”

“Good.”

“After the exam hours are over, would you like me to treat in the next canteen?”

Oh No. Why Sunny wanted so badly to scream and jump excitedly at the invitation. Sunny's face must be blushing now, and Ben must have seen it. Ah, embarrassing.

“Bby.”

“Okey. See You's. Good luck.” continued Ben while raising his fists encouragingly for Sunny.

***

Smelly aroma inhaled, boisterous in the room that sounded cheerful, whispering voices that sounded so clear, did not undo Sunny's intention to come to this place. The second canteen, usually dominated by students from the regular community, or those who like the atmosphere crowded and a little unruly.

Kriuk in Sunny's stomach suddenly lures Sunny to walk to the message table. He ordered a bowl of seafood soup that seemed delicious. Then, he also ordered one for Ben. Sunny also took two bottles of water from the refrigerator to bring it to the table he had occupied and put the bag as a marker there.

Sunny did not stop observing around, because honestly, this kind of atmosphere felt very foreign. Sunny also does not really like the noise and the loud sound of calling swear. This canteen room is completely different from the main canteen.

After condemning his dislike of this place, Sunny searched for Ben's whereabouts, because the young man who invited him here had not come when Ben had left the computer lab before him. But everything paid off when he saw Ben's presence walking into the room. He can see Ben looking for his existence, until Sunny spontaneously raised his arm and Ben smiled because he had found him.

“Sorry late, Sun. Have you ordered food? Got it today Seafood, you have no Seafood allergy?” cerocos Ben while putting a backpack on the back of the chair. He then turned the view on the menu board written for today.

“Already. I also ordered it for you.”

As long as you know, now you are the center of attention in this place.

“Oh. Looks like I'm very late.” said Ben cheerfully.

In Sunny's eyes, Ben looks so different today. The young man looked so happy. Since meeting this morning, until now, Ben still looks so actively smiling. And it makes Sunny's heart like a flower in the spring.

Two bowls of seafood soup with rice came. Ben bowed as a thank you.

After the departure of the aunt who delivered the food to their table, Sunny smiled, tirelessly. Then he started grabbing the handle of the spoon and started devouring food with a conversation he had arranged unconsciously while waiting for Ben's arrival.

“You look happy. Something fun huh?” sunny asked, then put a spoonful of rice, followed by a spoonful of soup and a piece of carrot into the mouth.

“Ah, yes. How was your exam? Smoothly?” ask Ben, out of topic.

Sunny smiled at jumawa. He was at home showing off a row of white teeth when with Ben. That sweet smile unceasingly framed her beautiful face.

“Iya. Smoothly.”

“Then, is there something you want to talk about Ben? Why suddenly invite and treat me here.”

Sunny could not lie if his curiosity this time was so explosive. There was some hope in his mind, among other things, Ben who would say something important. About the news, or.. her feelings maybe? But, for the second option, Sunny did not expect much about the feelings that refer to a different feeling that arises in the heart, but rather to the happy feelings that are clearly visible in Ben's gesture.

“Ah, yes. I almost forgot to say something to you.” said Ben, then grabbed a bottle of drink because he almost choked on his own food. While Sunny, waiting patiently until Ben finished drinking the drink he had given.

Afterwards, Ben again looked at Sunny's bead with high enthusiasm that had not subsided. He had even wanted to convey that happy thing to Sunny.

“How about the registration to the university you are doing Sun?” ben asked, successfully making Sunny freeze in place with worry that suddenly came to the surface.

University, why hasn't he thought about it since?

“Ah, I am currently following the selection at the university that the school recommended me to.”

Yep. Why did Sunny not think about this from the beginning? Ben must be happy about this. Things that may have been anticipated and dreamed by the figure of Ben.

And today it bears witness to how Sunny's world seems to be collapsing. What he heard, what he saw, seemed blurry and did not want him to accept. The weather outside seemed to describe his mood. He didn't think this day would come. The day that she and Ben will be completely separated without being tied to any relationship, even if it's just a friend.

“I passed the selection unconditionally due to the recommendation letter from the school, Sun.”

Sunny was glued without moving a bit. The head of the spoon he threw into the soup, still comfortable in there. The world and time seemed to stop spinning when they heard that from Ben.

“I will leave there after the exam ends.”

Sunny who was fixated, surprised because suddenly Ben had waved his palm in front of his face.

“A-ah, congratulations yes, Ben. May you succeed there.” he said pretending to be happy while extending a hand. But it was not able to hide the disappointment in Sunny's face that was indeed being messed up.

“Thank you. I hope, you are also successful and can get the university as you expect.” replied Ben as he welcomed Sunny's palm and held it firmly. Sunny's palms and skin are so soft. It was the first time Ben touched a woman's skin.

“So,” pause Sunny hesitated, but he had to ask despite already knowing the answer. “You will not be present at the graduation of the release of our force, later?”

Ben smiled bitterly. He could catch the disappointed look on Sunny's face, and somehow it hurt him.

“Eumm. I can't come with. So, today, I will say congratulations to you.”

The speech was successful in making one tear point fall from the tail of Sunny's eyes. Ben saw it clearly.

“Waaah, I was so happy that I cried.” rattled Sunny while rubbing her tears roughly. Then again ventured to look at the brown eye bead that belongs to Ben. “I hope you feel at home there.”

This will be the last day they meet. Because tomorrow, or tomorrow again, and even so on, they won't be able to look at each other like this.

Ben lows. Without offering any relationship, he said. “Sorry.” []
