The Delayed Regret
Episode 8

Tio was silent while shaking his head.

" It's already been. Don't talk about it. Mending us photos - photos. We haven't had a photo yet, have we? " Tio said as he opened his phone.

" Uh yes, brother. I have been waiting for Brother Tio. I want a photo of my brother too. Because I want to capture a photo of the two of us, as a memento - a memory. And later, I'll show my friends that I have such a good sister. " Say Meisya at length.

Disappointed with the disappointment of Tio because he was still considered as the big brother in Meisya's eyes. But Tio was trying to understand that Meisya might not have had more taste in him.

" Let's take a picture. I'll be as stylish as possible. Let your friends idolize me. " Sahut Tio sneered while raising his eyebrows.

Meisya laughed at Tio's behavior which she thought was a little silly and funny. Then they took pictures, posed as they pleased, immortalized on their mobile phones - each of their important moments on that day.

Now, the clock shows at 16:00 local time. That's a sign the flag-down ceremony is about to begin.

And all the members have prepared themselves, in order to perform optimally and run well.

****

The ceremony is over. Everyone takes pictures with their friends. Tio approached Meisya who was still sitting in his resting seat.

" May. You're not coming home? " Tanya Tio's.

" Yes, I'll be home soon. " Answer Meisya limp.

" You why Mei ? You're not sick, are you ? " Tanya tio again while holding hands and groping Meisya's eel, making sure that Meisya does not have a fever.

" What the hell is Tio. " Answer Meisya while lowering Tio's hand. But then he held on tight.

" I'm fine - what. I'm not sick either. Brother Tio don't worry about me. I'm fine - all right. " Answer Meisya who is still limp.

" Why then? You limp like this ? " Tio asked confusedly, but he did not let go of his hand that Meisya held. Every now and then she looked at Meisya's hands and hands, looking at her in disbelief. If his hand is really held by the woman he likes.

" I'm just sad. " Answer Meisya gloomily.

" Sad? What makes you sad? Has anyone hurt your heart? " Tanya Tio investigated.

" Tell me, what and who makes you sad like this? I will make the calculations to him !! " Tio said again firmly.

" Hmm sister... Brother Tio doesn't have to do that. No one hurt me. I'm just sad, because after this we won't be able to do this anymore. I can't see my sister every day anymore. I can't joke with my sister anymore. I won't be able to..." Meisya's speech was instantly cut by Tio.

" No May. That's not gonna happen. I'll keep seeing you whenever you want. I'll always have time so we can stay together like this. I won't make you lonely. " Tio said as he looked at Meisya's face deeply, increasingly grasping Meisya's hand tightly, convincing Meisya to feel calm.

" Calm Mei. We'll keep going like this. " Say Tio again.

" How can we be like this, brother, while we go to school in different places ? " Tanya Meisya is sad.

" Every day I'll drop you off and pick you up for school. How's it? You agreed? " Tanya Tio spirit.

Meisya happy. And wanted to nod his head immediately. But, he did not do so because he did not want Tio to know his true identity. And if Tio every day to drive and pick him up school, long time surely Meisya's secret will be revealed. Because Meisya felt that Tio was not yet the time to know everything.

" Em sister doesn't have to do that. I can do it myself. Maybe we'll meet on the weekend. " Answer Meisya who already doesn't look sad. Because he did not want Tio to force him to agree to his plan.

" All right then. Every weekend, we'll meet. I'll accompany you wherever you want. " Tio Sahut.

" All right, brother. Thank ye. I'm very happy. " Reply Meisya again.

Now Meisya realized, her hand had been tightly grasping Tio's hand for how long. Meisya then pulled her hand slowly while saying "I'm sorry. "

Tio just smiled, rubbing Meisya's head as if Meisya was like a child. Meisya laughed happily. Same with Tio.

" Eh May. Where's your cell phone number? Since we've been friends until now, you haven't given me your phone number? " Say Tio while taking her phone that was there.

" Uh yes, brother. We forgot to exchange phone numbers.. " Answer Meisya laughed a little.

Tio gives his phone to Meisya, then Meisya presses the number as much as 12 digits on his phone Tio. Then return the phone to the owner.

" This is brother. " Say Meisya.

" I'll keep it. Don't forget, you also saved my phone number. I'll call you tonight. " Reply Tio.

" Okay, brother. " Answer Meisya.

It was evening, everyone had gone home, back to their homes. But not with Tio and Meisya. They still talk with their fun.

Meisya glanced at her watch which showed at 18:12 local time. That means the night is ready to welcome them.

" sister. We better go home now. It's getting dark. I'm afraid my mom and dad are looking for me. They were very worried if I came home late. " Say Meisya while packing her luggage.

" May. Take care of yourself - okay. Maybe I won't be able to be with you every day. But I will always pray for you that you are well and always healthy. The spirit for you. Don't forget, if you have a problem, just tell me. Whatever happens, I'll be there for you May. And also, call me often. " Say Tio again.

Meisya smiled and nodded her head. Then the two of them split up, because Meisya was picked up by the driver, and Tio went to the motorcycle parking lot to pick up the bike.

Meisya got into a very luxurious car, then opened her glass and raised her hand towards Tio.

" Dahh brother Tio. " Say Meisya shouted.

Tio just waved his hand and smiled as he looked at Meisya who had started to move away. And now Meisya had disappeared from his sight.

* May. If you knew that I liked you, would you still want to be close to me? Are you going to accept me? Or are you even going to stay away from me? Of May. Honest from the bottom of my heart. I've liked you since we met. And now I love you. May one day you feel the same way as me and repay my love. * Inner Tio.

Tio finally went home to his house with his motorcycle ride. The day was getting darker and the adzan magrib was already reverberating. Finally, Tio stopped at a mosque to perform his magrib prayer.

Teaching and learning activities at XX schools began. And this is the first day Meisya enters her new class. Meisya sat at the front of the right corner. She's my partner with Maya, her new friend. He got acquainted just now, about 1 hour before class started. And they decided to sit down, because they were the same - they had no other friends.

Flashback.

Meisya sat in the classroom. There is a long chair. Meisya sat down casually, Meisya opened her phone. Suddenly, a woman sat beside him. Throwing his butt into the long chair while nagging. Meisya who heard the woman nagging, she turned to the woman.

The woman realized after she felt that she was the center of attention around her, including Meisya who was sitting next to her, looking astonished and confused by the behavior of the woman.

" Sorry. I've been bothering you. " Say the woman while looking towards Meisya.

Meisya just smiled. And back to busying himself with his cell phone.

" What's your name? " Task the woman who is bracing herself.

" Are you talking to me? " Tanya Meisha. Because Meisya was afraid that it wasn't her that the woman was talking to.

" yes. I'm talking to you. I know, my name is Maya. My name is Almaya Fathima Alyara. Whatis yourname? " Task Maya while extending her hand.

" Oh yes Maya. My name is Meisya Princess Ellova. Just call me Meisya. " Answer Meisya who welcomed Maya's hand.

" Can we be friends? " Task Maya.

" absolutely. " Answer Meisya.

" Oh yes, by the way, why are you saying this morning? " Tanya Meisha.

" Eh yes. I was very upset with the man in the park. I was sitting in the park alone reading a book. Suddenly, three men approached me, then one sat down beside me and embraced me. I was shocked because I didn't know who they were. All I remember is she was in XII class. I'd love to curse them, but I'm scared because they're our upperclassmen. " Mayan's speech describes the length of times the width of times the height.

Meisya silently listened while digesting Maya's speech.

" But I also remember, one of the three men mentioned Ke's name... Kee... To what huh? " Talk Maya again while remembering - remember the name of the man.

" Ah yes. Kevin ! Ja. Kevin's name. " Say Maya again.

Meisya was shocked after hearing that name.

" So, what did you do after that? " Task Meisya again. This time Meisya looked at Maya properly. Wanting to find out what just happened to Maya, his new friend.

" Yes, I'm trying to get out of there. But my hand was held by Kevin. Then he hugged me tightly. I was shocked and embarrassed too. Not really, in the park of many people. Many people looked at me strangely. I'm so embarrassed. " I answered Maya with glassy eyes, about to cry.

" Keep going ?? " Tanya Meisya nimble so curious.

" Yes, I kept biting Kevin's hand. Then I went and ran. So that he can't come after me and scold me. I heard from a distance that Kevin and his friends were cursing at me. I also kept running away from them. " Answer Maya again.

" good. What you did was just right. Men like Kevin should be taught a lesson. Let's know the taste! Hihii " Sahut Meisya giggling.

" Sister Kevin? " Maya repeats Meisya's speech.

" You know him? " Task Maya again.

Meisya nodded her head quickly.

" Yes, I know him. He was one of the members of the pascibra yesterday. " Answer Meisya.

Off Flashback.

The first lesson begins, all students diligently listen to the explanations of their teachers, including Meisya. Because Meisya is a smart child, Meisya can quickly understand and understand the lesson. He easily answered questions given by his teacher. Until Maya was happy because she got a new friend who is good, beautiful, and also smart.
