Between Our Love and This Morning's Rain
PART 6'S
Time so quickly passed, without feeling now had stepped on MOS on the third day. There is good news that this is MOS on the last day. Today there will be a school environment introduction activity, MOS participants will be invited to get to know the environment around the school, including outside the school. To sound more pleasant, I said we were invited around.
As usual, there was always Cipto beside me when I left for school. In addition to having the same purpose and coming from the same room, we also have the same status, which is we are both single. So, it is natural that fellow singles should get along.
“Gue understood your words last night, Mik,” Cipto opened a chat on the way to school this morning.
“What?”
“Fall in love is like we go into a box, that box we are likened to someone we love. Falling in love keeps us trapped in the hearts of those we love. As long as we're comfortable, we won't get out of his heart, we won't want to know if there's anyone out there better than him or engga.”
“Tuh, finally you know too,” I said. “It turns out that in vain lo pass SMP.”
“Iya dong,” said, be proud. “Although last night I stayed up until midnight thinking of the words lo.”
I gawk. “Serious lo?”
Cipto nodded.
Indeed, Cipto's thinking power is slow, to digest my words alone he takes until midnight, but in the end he succeeded well. We deserve to appreciate it. Cipto efforts that we should appreciate, not slowness.
After the bell rang, all MOS participants were ordered to gather in the middle of the ceremonial field for briefing. All gathered according to their respective groups. That's his order, but the truth is not so.
“Masing each group leader please check its members, is it complete yet?” kak Frengki's orders, Chairman of OSIS.
All the group leaders seemed busy counting their members, as did Rudi, the leader of group A. My group.
“Group A less one, Brother!” rudi said, and I smiled hearing that.
“Kok can?” ask Brother Frengki.
“In the list of attendance is there, but the person is not there,” replied Rudi.
“Who?”
“Miko, Brother.”
Aye, i. I'm in group C. You want to know why I want to be in the C-group?
“Kepik..” someone whispered, “kok you are here?”
“Iya, let me meet you,” I replied, whispering.
“Ah, you can aja,” he said, still whispering so as not to be heard by the MOS committee. He is Marmut. Yes, I infiltrated the ranks of his group which is also Cipto group, but Cipto stood in the front row, while I was in the back.
“Among you there are those who saw Miko, hgga?” Brother Frengki asked, he was still standing in front.
“Eh, Kepik, you know Miko, engga?” marmut asked, whispering.
“Engga,” I answer. Of course in this line, no one knows me as Miko, except Cipto who stands at the front.
Everyone was worried, not because of worry, but because I made them wait longer. The head of my group was then ordered to look for me, check into the other group, and once he got to group C.
“This is Miko, Sister!” he yelled.
“Bring here!!” said Brother Frengki, annoyed.
“Pick?” muttered the Marmut, in disbelief.
“He he he..” I tried to cover up my embarrassment with a small laugh. There is a sense of worry, not because it is called Kak Frengki, but worry that the Marmut will be angry with me because I claimed not to know a child named Miko.
Apparently not, he smiled then laughed lightly while covering his mouth with his right hand.
Rudi pulled me up and took me forward, facing Frengki Kak who was already looking annoyed. His face flushed red, a mixture between the blazing sun and acne, the look of his sharp eyes further confirmed his frustration.
“What are you doing there?” asked Brother Frengki, half snapping.
“Baris, Brother,” replied.
“Which group are you?”
“Group A.”
“Why lines in group C?”
“Because you want, Brother,” I replied calmly.
“You want a line in group C?” ask Brother Frengki.
I'm nodding.
“ENGGA CAN!!!” snapped it. “PUSH UP TEN TIMES!!”
Without waiting for a long time, I immediately carried out his orders. I thought, answering and arguing would be useless.
“This you, have discipline! You have your own group! You must be responsible for your group! Where's solidarity?” he keeps nagging.
I keep pushing up, serving punishment.
“Already?” he said, as soon as I was done with my punishment.
“Already, Brother,” answered me.
“You again?”
“Engga.”
“Back to your line!”
“Ready!”
While stepping towards my line, I glanced at the C group line, I saw someone smiling so sweetly at me. She's a woman I don't know her name yet.
If only Frengki's sister had allowed me to move, maybe now I'm in group C, with the woman who made me want to be there, with the woman I don't know her name yet. But how else, everything was arranged in such a way, I just followed him and accepted him to walk far behind me, with his group.
Introduction to the environment, we were invited to walk around the school complex, the route was quite long, entering the alleys and housing residents around the school. During the walk, we were told to record anything we found or encountered during the walk and most collect the names of objects or creatures encountered, will be given a gift. Everyone seemed excited, except me.
“Lo engga nulis?” ask Riki, my friend, maybe it means writing the names of objects or creatures we meet.
“Engga ah,” answered. “Lo nulis to be champion?” asked her.
“Engga. I'm sorry if later punished,” he reasoned. “Lo engga bosen punished continue?”
“Between two choices anyway, I'm the bosen punished or those who bosen punish me,” I replied.
“Ha ha ha..” Riki laughs. “There is aja lo.”
I walked along with Riki, his hands deftly writing the names of the things he encountered, did not look serious, as he said, he just did not want to be punished.
I helped him with the tasks given, I mentioned the names of the things we encountered and he wrote in his book.
“Ayam!” I said, as my eyes saw some chickens scavenging for food under the rambutan tree.
Riki wrote in his book.
“Goat!” I said, when I saw the goats in the cage belonging to the people.
“People shower!”
“Mana?!” this time he didn't write it straight away, but wanted to see it first.
“Ha ha ha...” I laughed, I lied. “Turns of people shower aja, busy lo!”
“He he he..”
“Though anyone takes a shower, I won't tell you, I'll see for myself, ha ha ha..” I said, joking.
“Sialan.” grunts.
Joking around, occasionally laughing while interrupting other friends, that's what I do with Riki. Turns out he's a kid who likes to joke too and is a bit ignorant, like me. I don't know how many names he managed to collect, I don't know exactly, which I know he kept his book when I said, ‘Udahlah, others already got more than lo!’ Pretty great, right, me?
Anything can happen, if God wills. Yes, I believe that, as it is today, while we were still walking in the school environment, while others were still busy recording their findings, suddenly the black clouds gathered quickly to create a cloudy, cloudy cloud, then cloudy creates rain.
“Everyone shelter!!” the MOS committee orders all of us.
Without waiting for a long time we immediately scattered, running to save each of them from the rain that was quite heavy. Take shelter in the heads of the houses, and if the owners are kind, they will tell us to come in, but we will politely refuse.
I took shelter in one of the houses, separated from my group. I don't know where they are, I don't care. I got together with some people I don't know yet. Sealing in the house's apartment while looking at the dark sky. Maybe it will rain for a long time.
“Kepik..” someone greeted me, and it looks like I know whose voice it is.
“Marmut?” I turned my head and found a beautiful woman smiling at me, her hair wet.
“Why is it here?” she asked. Now that we were lined up, standing at the head of the house, the cold air felt instantly warm. May it rain in a long time.
“Now,” answer. Shady means.
“Yes, I know, I mean, why not join your group?”
“I don't know where they are,” I replied. “This is your group?”
“Not,” he shook his head.
“So this is not your group?”
“He he he.. not.”
“Ha ha ha..” I laugh.
“Why laugh?”
“It turns out you herd wasted.”
“Ha ha ha... You too!”
“Ha ha ha.”
What do you usually do when it rains? Shade while looking at the water that fell? Or staring out the window while remembering your past? Poor thing. Maybe you are not as lucky as I am, I am looking at the beautiful creation of God who stands beside me. It turns out that once in a while God was unfair in creating his creatures.
“Miko..” she mentioned my name. Yes, he knows my name.
“Iya?” sahutku.
“You ever had such wonderful memories of rain?” and I don't know, it's like the rain can make everything feel melancholic.
“Ear,” I replied, looking at the water ripples in the puddles that fell from the roof.
“What?”
I got his face and I said, “Shut next to a beautiful woman.”
“When?”
“Today.”
“Moreover?”
“Ada.”
“What?” she asked.
“Stands next to a beautiful woman as I take shelter from the torrential rain.”
“When?”
“Today also.”
“Ha ha ha.. others?”
“Engga no,” answered me. “If you?”
“Ada.”
“Not.”
“Kok isn't it?” he looks confused.
“I don't want your name to be anything, I want your name to be what?” my clear.
“Ha ha ha.. kirain,” she still laughs. “I'm Kinanti,” he continued.
“Kayak brand medicine for menstrual pain.”
“ITU KIRANTI!!!”
“Ha ha ha..”
“Engga funny!” said, annoyed.
“I'm not funny anymore,” I said.
“Why laugh?”
“Laughter is a necessity,” I replied.
“Ha ha ha...” she laughs.
“You why laugh?”
“Kan, needs?”
“Ha ha ha..”
And we laugh together, whether it's for a need or it's actually the beginning of a closeness. I don't know, all I know, since that day we've known each other.
Rain, thanks...
Connect, gags...
