When the Heart Speaks
chapter 4 The battle is over

I arrived home later than usual,

but before leaving, I had permission that I would be late to go home.

I stepped up with a gontai after saying a greeting, with a face not as cheerful as usual. My lips were clenched, tired, but it was not the feeling that was in my heart and brain.

I opened the door and changed into a uniform. Mama followed, like Mama knew something was sticking up in my heart.

"May Mama come in?"

When Mom tried to open the door of the room that I accidentally unlocked. I turned to Mama who was still standing in the doorway while crossing her arms in front of her chest.

"Look in Ma"

My answer was when I was lying face down in bed.

"Did you not eat Din?"

Ask Mama.

"Later Ma, not hungry yet"

I pretended that since Dion's school, hunger and thirst invaded my empty stomach.

But somehow the feeling seemed to disappear, as soon as home.

"Why are you, son?? same story Mama"

Mama put her hands on my head while rubbing my black hair, then sat on the edge of the bed.

I moved, and sat down next to my mom.

"There's nothing Ma, just tired"

"Yes already... Eat first, take off your meal just rest"

Said Mama.

I nodded, then followed Mama out of the room.

I was still opening the window of the room when the sky started to turn thick.

I dropped the pink curtain hanging there.

I found the moon forming a full moon, then several stars were seen around it flickering.

So beautiful the sky tonight.

I chose to sit at the window by leaning my body against his side. My eyes are still glaring, far away from where it is anchored.

I occasionally glanced at the parcel lying on the pillow at the side of the bed.

"Ah... You freak!!!."

Immediately came a great upset, then followed by regret why I had to borrow it.

If it hadn't been me, maybe this feeling would never have existed.

And for sure I don't have to bother looking for it.

My eyes were getting tired, I decided to go to sleep. First, close the window.

As I was preparing to go to sleep, I opened my eyes again, and glanced at the package.

I sighed, my heart saying that tomorrow I will repeat the adventure today.

Before finally closing his eyes.

I grabbed my phone, and typed a short message on a number. Icon at the end of the name.

Yes, a short message for Ari.

*B**esok, no need to pick up Ri.

I want to go home with* Fitri.

Um...Again I have to lie.

"I'm sorry Ri"

I said in my heart.

I flipped my phone between the fingers, waiting for a reply from there.

I hope He hasn't fallen asleep since it's late enough.

A moment later,

My phone's vibrating..

I hurriedly opened it.

*Ok*e Din, be careful.let me change my mind.

slamat sleep Dina. dream beautiful*

That's how Ari, always trying to compensate me never suspected, and always tried to understand me.

Tuesday morning, at school.

Fitri patted his eel, when approaching me who was busy twirling the package in my hand.

"Yes elah Jeng... Haven't run around this pack yet?"

I stopped my activities.Then a small laugh stared at Fitri.

Looks Fitri waiting for an answer from me.

again I just smile.

"Yesterday wasn't so or how"

Reciprocity.

"So, but I didn't see you"

Answer me briefly.

"Then...."

Keep Fitri again...

"Continue"

I answered her with a laugh and passed into the class that the bell was following.

Throughout the lesson, I followed him very well.

There is no chaos of the mind because of the problem of the package that has not been stretched.

When school comes home.

Like yesterday, I immediately approached the motorcycle and drove to Dion's school.

Something similar happened again... Starting from being the center of attention because of the uniform, sitting on the fry bench and waiting.

No, there is no result. I didn't find him.

This annoyance is like reaching the crown.

I stood up and looked into the guardrail, I looked around the school, and..

"Geez"

I'm like finding an oasis in the desert.

I saw Daka, Dion's friend.

I almost got desperate and went home.

Daka seemed to rush up to me, from his breath sting when he arrived in front of me.

"Lochi..Din why are you here?"

Ask wonder.

"It's Ka, I'd like to ask you a favor, please turn over Dion's jacket."

I said at length while thrusting a plastic package that I had taken 2 days back and forth.

Daka accepted it while nodding his head and smiling at me.

"From yesterday I was waiting for him but I didn't see him"

I clearly.

"Yes Din, Dion is not coming in again maybe tomorrow just entered, he said He had a fever"

Daka's explanation just now instantly muffled my frustration that earlier seemed to have filled the crown.

"Oh..."

That's all I can say on my lips.

"Yes is Ka.. I came home yes, thanks loch earlier"

I said to Daka.

"Okay Din's.."

Daka turned around to leave me while I stepped out of the school in relief.

At least my business with Dion is done, and I don't have to lie to Ari anymore.

Week pass..

Never again do I remember Dion in my days.

Until today, when I got home from school,

As usual I was picked up by Ari, suddenly I saw Dion on the way to school.

Dion was walking with two of his girlfriends, maybe a classmate or maybe one of them was his girlfriend. That's what's on my mind right now.

And when our motorbike passed right across from them, Dion looked at me, we looked at each other, just a moment later passed.

Since that day...

Almost every day after school, we always met, looked at each other and disappeared, staying in each other's positions.

I was with Ari, while Dion was with the two women.

There was never any communication at all, day after day, week changed months, until the year changed.

Still nothing has changed.

National exams are coming up..

No play, no practice, no cell phone.

That's the rule Papa made during the exam.

This morning at school, it was so quiet.

It was still morning, but all the 3rd graders were already crowded, it seemed like they preferred to come early to be more relaxed.

Some of them are seen still holding the book, some others are reading and then close the book again, then close their eyes while looking at the mouth kamit, I smile to see them all, I smile to see them all, it seems like they are memorizing a lesson, or just just to remember.

Me and Fitri are more interested in trying to be calm so as not to be nervous.

Bell reads...

All the students entered their rooms.

I'm not one room with Fitri, we reassure each other and provide support.

"The spirit of jeng"

Said Fitri while stepping in his room.

I nodded and smiled accepting her spirit.

Exam's starting...

40 Minutes of intense suspense, no noise, all quiet only the occasional sound of exam paper back and forth..

The entire room was busy on each exam paper, only the supervisor who occasionally paced back and forth between the hallways of the table.

Watching us who are frowning, trying to remember all that has been learned.

time goes by so fast, 40 minutes go by

when the bell rings.

We also had to finish our exams. One by one go forward to collect on the supervisor.

The tense atmosphere still enveloped us,

as soon as I got out of the room, I immediately looked for Fitri.

I found Fitri sitting in front of her room while turning the book in her hand.

"Duarrr..."

I patted her on the shoulder, suddenly it made Fitri shocked and almost the book in her hand was thrown.

I chuckled, which was accompanied by the screams of Fitri who was angry with me.

But it didn't last long, I grabbed him and He laughed.

Between Me and Fitri, we hardly ever fought, since childhood, we were always together like twins.

Not feeling the time will soon pass, which I heard Fitri will continue his study out of town, he will study at a famous university.

I will miss him very much.

Instantly imagined all the memories for the sake of our memories from childhood, and without me realizing my eyes suddenly wet.

I hurriedly hid my sadness, I was afraid Fitri would know about it, and she was hesitant about her choice.

We got out of our seats, still embracing each other, we set foot and died at school.

Not felt, 3 days passed so tensely, tomorrow is the last day of the test, it means the struggle will end soon, just waiting for the results and I hope all is satisfactory.

I got up from the study table, closed the book and got ready for bed.

Once I was in bed, my eyes were hard to close..

My mind is still wandering, I don't know what I'm thinking. My eyes stared at the ceiling, I looked at the photo on the wall, I saw two young girls embracing each other, and then I turned to the photo next to him, there was a man smiling as if he was looking at me.

When it was also suddenly there was a longing that was quietly slipping in the recesses of my heart.

"Ari..What is He doing now??"

My words were barely heard.

During the exam, my phone was kept by Papa, we were also not allowed to meet, until the exam was over, which means that tomorrow I can use my phone again, and can meet Ari again.

Out of nowhere, suddenly the eyes have closed and I have fallen asleep cradled at night
