WHAT ABOUT ME?
offer to leave together

After my father's arrival to the room, I decided to go back to my room to continue sleeping because it was very late.

the next morning I woke up as usual, after the morning prayer I went straight to the kitchen to help mom cook breakfast, but when I got to the kitchen, I did not find mom there, I found her, only my father was in front of the stove.

"which mom? " i asked my father, and I saw him brewing coffee and tea because there were two glasses on the kitchen table.

"mother is still in the room, seems to be not feeling well because of last night.later father wants to nganter mom check, you are okay if you have to go to school on foot? " ask my Dad.

Surely he was confused between delivering me to school or delivering mother check, because the practice doctor there only checked until half seven because the doctor practice there also had to be a duty to the hospital.

while if to the village health center, said the mother, he is not suitable if checked there, and more comfortable to visit his subscription doctor.

I don't want to make my dad think, I better walk, good enough to exercise in the morning

"i'm walking is okay, sorry mom if I have to wait for the doctor tonight" I replied.

dad stroked the top of my head, then went back to the room to give mom some warm tea.

I rushed to wash the rice for cooking, after that continue to prepare the side dish, today I only make tempeh and fried tofu and also sambal terasi because it does not take much time.

after everything was done, I took a bath while my father was preparing my sister's needs.

after changing my uniform directly to the kitchen to wrap the provisions on my lunchbox, it was deliberately done so that later it will not be late to school if you have to eat breakfast first.

done

a box of rice with tofu side dishes and fried tempeh along with the sauce was ready, I rushed to my mother's room to say goodbye.

I saw that my mother was asleep, maybe she just closed her eyes because after this, my father would take me to the doctor's office.

"mom." call me.

mom opened her eyes "are you leaving?"

"yes ma'am, Jasmin said yes, mom recovered quickly" I said.

"sorry, brother, because mom is sick you have to walk to school"

"no matter what mom, after all still this morning, itung itung sports, yakan. "I tried to comfort mom so that she did not increase her mind.

after kissing my hand, I immediately approached my father who was heating his motorcycle.

"i'm leaving first yeah yeah" I said, and I immediately kissed her hand.

"be careful brother" father's message.

I nodded and went to school on foot.

"hey Jasmin" arrived from behind, there was someone greeting me, I was most likely my face to see who was greeting me.

"e-eh hai Ris" I stammered, as this was the first time I had interacted directly with her.

"walking tumben? " he asked, he was still riding his bike slowly, matching my footsteps.

"dad is having business so I walk, you are at this hour already leaving, this is still very early, usually you always pick up the new school entrance hours to school? " ask me trying to find a topic

"yes, this morning want volleyball practice first same temen temen, so leave early in the morning.want to be together? " haggot

I knew the offer was valid just because I was Rania's best friend, not because she was interested or just wanted to offer me a ride.

I shook my head, though I wanted to but I didn't want to if I was good to me just because I was Rania's best friend.

"no need, after all, already this decade, the road is five minutes away" said I refused.

Haris nodded, he then bid farewell to the road first.

on the street, I was just grumbling, I was cursing my stupidity that rejected the invitation of the man I liked from long ago.

'you are indeed bod*h Jas, have been bargained for a ride, uh even use the event nolak everything anyway'

I patted my head slowly to wake my mind from reality.

"spirit Jasmin! " i cried when I saw the school gate not far from where I am today.

"hey, I'm sorry I'm so long" I said as my three best friends were waiting for me at the gate.

"i also just got to Jas, yuk in" said Vidya.

the four of them entered, when passing through the field, I could see Haris was practicing volleyball with his friends as he said earlier.

my eyes did not turn from Haris's face which I think became more handsome when he was sweating.

Haris waved at us, I thought he was waving at me. as if hypnotized, I tried to return the wave of his hand, but when he was about to raise his hand, I tried to reply, Rania first waved her hand towards Haris.

I paused my intention and focused on my footsteps towards class.

"it looks like someone is in love" Naila teases Rania, while the one in the tease looks glaring, but I can see she slightly turns her smile on.

"what the hell, we're not just friends!" Rania resolute.

"more than friends can also kok Ran, you are the same as single" said I.

there was an invisible hand that was in my heart, why did my heart hurt after I said that, but I knew if they both liked each other.

"no, he's not my type" he said.

we nodded, telling Rania that she was embarrassed to show her feelings.
