Is There Love
Grief News
Part 6's
I walked to school with Gavin. For some reason along the corridor many students looked at her with strange looks. I parted with Mr. Gavin after arriving at the corridor.
I sighed for a moment, it turned out that there were already many students who had come before me in class. Just finished putting down my backpack, the ceremonial bell began to ring. I rushed out of class to the field with the other students.
“Ryn .. wait for me,” exclaimed Sasa who was far behind me.
“Don't hurry. Wait for me,” Sasa said with a breath of excitement.
“Yes, I'm walking as usual. You're the slow one,” my taunts at Sasa who is now walking by my side.
“Ye, don't underestimate me like this. Our distance was quite far,” said Sasa defending himself.
“Daffa where? Usually you two?” ask me to divert the conversation.
“Eth. He's like a ghost. Suddenly appeared, and suddenly disappeared just like that.” I saw Sasa smiling wryly.
“Do not talk to you Sa, however he is always there for you.
Looks like she likes you.” I looked at Sasa and found his face flushed.
“What? Not true, how could he possibly like me?” elak Sasa's.
“Do not pretend not to know, take care of him before leaving you. Or ... you ..” I said it was spontaneous. I fell silent, I suddenly remembered that what I told Sasa was what happened to me now. Since I always tried to avoid Kenzhi, I always tried to cover up my feelings, and now I'm losing it.
“Or what? Even though he and I are together a lot, our relationship is just friends. Never more.” The look on Sasa's face revealed that he had put his hopes on Daffa.
“Ooo-be. So, you want more relationship with Daffa?” I put on a small smile, glancing at him with an insinuating glance.
“It's not like that! Meaning ... I ..” Sasa is getting wrong.
“Ow. Wow, that seems like a code to me. Alright, I will help you tell Daffa if you want more relationship with him.” I think Sasa became irritated, because I kept teasing him through my every word.
“Already, enough. Don't mock me like this, we better quickly line up to follow the others.” Sasa was now a step faster than me.
“Iya-iya,”, I said while balancing Sasa's steps.
After all the participants of the ceremony gathered, the ceremony began. Starting from the opening, until the end of the arrangement of the event went smoothly. When it was about to be disbanded, suddenly Pak Bimo my principal coded the readers of the ceremony arrangement so as not to be disbanded first because there was an important announcement. Mr. Bimo took over the ceremony, the look on his face was serious.
For some reason, my chest is pounding. I think something unpleasant will happen. My fingers and toes felt cold. I don't know what's going on with me, but it feels weird. I don't usually feel this, but when I see Mr. Bimo's face I feel more gambled.
Ah, I feel like a schoolgirl who will get punished for making a mistake. But, what mistake? I always come on time, I never miss. Alpha, I'm rare too. I took a deep breath, hoping to be more relaxed afterwards.
“Good morning all. Sorry, the ceremony is not dissolved first, because there are some important announcements that you must convey,” explained Mr. Bimo.
“Ryn, already pegel-pegel nih I stand still,” lamented Sasa who lined up beside my right.
“Patience, who knows there is good news.” I tried to smile, even though it felt like my chest was getting bigger. Sasa did not reply, only throwing a wry smile at me.
“The first, next week our school will follow the event of inter-school football matches. As in previous years, each school has a turn to host the event. Incidentally, this year our school is hosting the event.
So, I hope you prepare everything well. Starting from the committee prepared as best as possible, to the main thing is our school football team. For the football team, do the exercises even harder. I'll prepare the coach for you guys, so be excited. Win the championship trophy for our school.” Mr. Bimo explained it with a sparkling hue.
After hearing the first announcement, the atmosphere became rowdy. Many were busy talking to their friends about the event.
“Ryn. I like this announcement. Wow, how will the show be? Definitely rame and exciting.” Sasa nudged my right arm while smiling widely.
“Hihi, yes. You are always right. I can't imagine how the show will be. There are a lot of good-looking guys from other schools. Ah, if I could have one.” Sasa's words so slammed everywhere. I've guessed it, for sure he'll talk about handsome men. And it's true that I didn't miss at all. I just shook my head, I was lazy to say Sasa.
“Second announcement, I congratulate the success of the Math, English and Mipa Olympiad participants who managed to bring home the championship cup. This announcement was a bit slow, because it had experienced a small obstacle in the process of scoring champions.
Which is usually only one month, now it's three months. But, nevermind. Most importantly now, our school managed to bring home the championship cup.” The hue of Mr. Bimo's face is increasingly sparkling.
“ Congratulations to Yelena Freya Gayatri as the third champion of the Mipa Olympics. Then, congratulations to Gavin Pradipa Mahaprana as the winner of the Mathematics Olympiad. And lastly, congratulations to Airyn Deolinda Zemira as the second champion of the English Olympics. For the Olympic champions please go forward.” A loud applause rang out.
I didn't think I'd get second place in the Olympics. When I heard Mr. Bimo say my name, it was like a dream. This is the first time I have won second place. Usually only the champion of hope, and the highest I have ever achieved is the third champion. It was only once that I won the third place, when the Indonesian Olympics.
“Wah, congratulations yes Ryn, you got the champion two,” said Sasa congratulated.
“Iya, thanks Sa.” It feels good to be pounding, it turns out I can win the second champion. It's good news, I feel there's relief in me. But on the other hand, I still feel something is stuck in me.
“Hey, why shut up? Let's quickly advance there!” exclaim Sasa while smiling widely.
“Iya, baubles. I will go forward kok,” I said accompanied by a soft smile towards Sasa. I started to move forward. My body became hot cold like this, and my blood flow felt swirling faster. I lined up in line with the order of the champion that was achieved.
“Happy Ryn. You got the second champion of the English Olympics,” said brother Gavin who is on my right.
“Kakak too, congratulations yah.” I congratulate you. Brother Gavin glanced at me with a small smile on his lips. I replied with a big smile.
After the receipt of each cup\-champion, we also returned to each row accompanied by a standing ovation from the participants of the ceremony. The atmosphere still felt deafening noise. It is not uncommon to congratulate me.
“Ryn. Congratulations well,” said Novita congratulated.
“Iya, thanks Nov.” I greeted him with a smile.
“Congratulations Ryn, you are second.” Now, it was my classmate Rina who congratulated me. And, I also say thank you accompanied by a smile that backs my lips.
Not far in front of me stood, Sasa gave his two thumbs up while smiling widely. I quickly approached him.
“Ah, later do not forget to eat. Can get a champion,” said Sasa.
“Hm, yes. Later we eat together deh,”, I said with a smile.
“Paution-attention. I still have one more announcement, please do not rowdy.” Mr. Bimo again attracted attention, and now the atmosphere became calmer.
I wondered what the third announcement was. Why is my chest pounding more like this. I see, Mr. Bimo's face hue becomes fainter, not as bright as before.
“Third announcement, This morning we got sad news from one of your friends.” I was struck by every word Bimo said.
“Tadi, I got word from bandhara, that Kenzhi, your friend who two months ago had a plane crash, was declared the victim of death.”
Like being struck by lightning. My body immediately felt limp as if it was boneless. My chest shook violently, my breathing was cut off. I can't believe it, it's like a dream to me.
“One more time, the sad news you convey. That on behalf of Kenzhi Rafisqy Shaquille class XI Mipa became one of the victims died in a plane crash two months ago. So let's pray for him. May all his charities be received by His side.”
Every single word I heard felt like thousands of punches were hitting my body. It hurts, it hurts so much I feel. I am no longer strong to support my body, this self feels floating, accompanied by my increasingly blurry vision.
