Choosing to Let Go
episode 37's

It was late in the afternoon, and the school began to fall apart. There are only a few students and teachers who are still in school. Including Cicha, yes the girl is still in school until this afternoon.

It's been hours the girl's been sitting on the school rooftop. All Cicha did was daydream, looking at the twilight sky. He wanted to be alone for now, until he felt calm. He didn't tell his three best friends if he was here. He knew he was worried about her.

He didn't even touch his phone that was ringing. Cicha doesn't want to be disturbed today. There were about 89 missed calls and 64 chats from them, including Keyndra. Cicha felt like her heart was really hurting, why did she have to love someone this deep? Why should this sick person love someone? Cicha looked up, pushing away her tears that seemed unwilling to stop.

Cicha only skimmed through those messages. Without the intention to reply. His phone lay just like that on a worn-out bench, next to the girl sitting down.

Cicha walked with small steps down the corridor of the school that had begun to be crowded, considering that now it was 06.45 which means fifteen minutes more the doorbell immediately rang.

Arriving in front of the class, Cicha sighed, then inhaled as much air as possible before entering the class. Whatever happens, he must be strong, he must not look weak, especially in front of the ex-girlfriend. Most importantly he should be more focused with his education, he should remain passionate in order to achieve his goals. As the trigger for her spirit to rise, Cicha recalled all the effort until she was at the point now. Given there are still both parents, his two younger siblings, and his friends who still care and always support him.

From the class, his three best friends were waiting for him. With slow steps, Cicha approached them. He knew in a moment he would be interrogated like a thief, regarding yesterday's incident.

"Whose name is Cha?" erika asked, perhaps with Cicha's answer they knew a little bit of the truth. Because the guy who is the main suspect also has not shown his nose.

"Send by my father, all of you go to work" replied Cicha.

"Where are we going? we all know you're like crazy. Messages all of us also no one Lo bales," recounted Niken.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to be alone yesterday. I'm at the school rooftop until the afternoon," Cicha said.

"Thank you guys for worrying about me, but I'm fine" Cicha continued, staring at her three friends who were also staring at her worriedly.

"So right?" marina asked carefully, knowing that Cicha was still sensitive about her relationship with Keyndra.

Understanding the direction of her best friend's question, Cicha nodded without making a sound.

Instantly the three hugged Cicha together, strengthening the girl. They know that his best friend is not okay. Getting such treatment from them, Cicha's tears came out without being prevented.

"It's Okay! don't cry pa-pa, let Lo plong's heart." Said Niken while rubbing Cicha's back.

"Udah was quite crying, this is the last one we saw Lo cry because of a jerk like him!" threatening Niken.

"Cowok kayak is not your pantes tangisin," said Marina folded her hands in front of her chest while putting on a fierce face.

"Cowok is not just him, you can get more than him Cha," added Marina again.

"It's still us" said Erika as she patted Cicha on the shoulder.

Cicha wiped away the rest of her tears, then she smiled looking at her best friend. He is grateful to have them, friends and relatives who are willing to accept him whatever the advantages and disadvantages of Cicha. Without looking at the treasures and what they had.

"Thank you, you've always been there for me" said Cicha sincerely.

Currently the class is quiet because Mr. Yudi gave a sudden physics replay today. Everyone is not surprised by the habits of one of the killer teachers at Tunas Bangsa High School.

From his stool, Keyndra was staring at Cicha with a difficult gaze to interpret. Highlight that guy who is usually sharp now looks sad.

This is not what Keyndra wanted, the guy didn't want to hurt Cicha like that. His heart ached to see the girl he loved crying because of him. He wanted to grab onto the girl's body, hold her tightly at this moment, even from yesterday it wanted the guy to do. But looking at the fragile Cicha, the shady eyes that emitted many wounds, made Keyndra's heart like it was pierced by a sharp dagger.

Keyndra feels like a jerk and a coward right now. But this is what he has to do to keep and protect the girl he loves. Keyndra had no other choice.

"I'm sorry Ay! although now you may hate me, but you should know that you are the only one, only you are in my heart, only you are the owner. My love is never divided at all, only you love me, Ay." muttered Keyndra who had been focused on watching Cicha who was focused on doing the replay.

"Buck, bego!" maki Anggara heard Keyndra mutter. Aditya and Dany shake their heads and look at Keyndra in frustration.

Keyndra was silent on hearing the curse, even though he knew it was directed at him. What Anggara said is true.

Now Keyndra turns to focus on working on the problem of repetition, as well as Anggara, Aditya and Dany, who had been concerned about the problems faced by his friend.
