Relina kept her head away, holding her breath, acting the same way as when Junda fitted her seatbelt.
'Hey, actually I can do it myself, just make people hang. Ahk. sucks!'
After Junda finished and moved away from her, Relina leaned over to pick up the plastic bag containing her belongings. He glanced at Junda who was staring at his face, the look of his eyes met, until Relina's heart again thumped softly.
Relina said she wanted to inquire about her dismissal, making the girl throb loudly and breaking her eye strap.
He said calmly as calm as his body but not with his mind. "Sir, thank you for the kindness of my father nganter, although it's not appropriate, it's okay."
"What's wrong? Take a look," said Junda while looking towards the side. "You're staying here, is it hard?"
Junda was actually still upset by everything that happened to him earlier, but then he thought that he would be even more wretched if there was no Relina, which forced him to stop his car suddenly. He really did not see any old woman, who was crouching in the streets, picking up the scattered items. A fact he saw was heartbreaking, had he hit him.
But there was one gentle urge in his heart to approach the girl or just take her home. He suddenly wondered where he lived. The coincidence of the misfortune he went through with the ordinary girl had already happened several times. Strange, he thought at the time.
After Relina told the place of her boarding.the man became a little excited. His heart was filled with a dilemma, would Relina make a girlfriend like other women before? But not ... Relina looks to hate him.
'Of course, he hates me because he's already fired'
Relina looked out the window and she realized that when the boarding place was very close, she just had to cross and turn a little. Junda deliberately passed the road to make it easier for him, while avoiding the vehicle-free area that day.
Relina's face instantly turned pale, she was embarrassed but shameless for coming out without any excuse. After closing the car door, he wiped the sweat that soaked his face with the base of his arm.
Junda had not run his car back, so he saw the behavior of Relina who thought it was ridiculous. The girl's appearance did not change either when she was working in her office or at this time, only her skirt changed into trousers.
'What looks always so, village'
The sleeves that Relina wore were also always long, to cover the crescent-like white mark that was quite large, near her elbow. He was ashamed that the sign was seen by people.
When he was in school he was always ridiculed by his friends because of the sign on his hand. They always say Relina has a tinea versicolor, a type of skin disease caused by fungus, is very itchy and leaves a white color on the skin.
There was a friend who was so persistent in insulting the strange mark on her hand and said Relina had never taken a bath, so had a pot. If it had been insulted like that then Relina could only cry, reaching home. The girl will not wear short clothes again tomorrow.
His mother, who always encouraged him, said that the sign sign signaled that she was a special woman, not many people had such a sign, but that she was a special woman, except for her and who else is in the world, maybe Relin is the only one.
"You're the most beautiful mother's child, whether or not this sign is .." said Reni at the time, pointing at her elbow with a unique mark there. "Mother still loves you. It's God's gift, all your friends are not given by God, such a sign."
"Can't it be removed, ma'am?" Ask Relina at the time.
"No, because it's God-made, nothing can change it."
"But, Rally's shy, Mom."
As a child, of course the speech was very pleasant, his mother accepted herself as she was, it was more than enough. His confidence grew even bigger, so he was not ashamed anymore, with the sign he had. However, he was used to long-sleeved clothing.
Not only that, he was often ridiculed by his friends at school, also at home because of his name. Relina's parents, especially her mother gave her a name that, according to her mother, was quite good, Relina ... Until All family members, the name starts with the letter R.
Her father, Rosihan, her mother, Reni, her younger brother, Reyano, and herself are Relina.
However, when Relina attended school, the beauty of her name was not as beautiful as the mother thought. Because friends will say Relina as a running railway.
"Eh, what train tracks, who usually eats rice?" Said one of his friends who was happy to insult.
"Don't know?" Followed by another friend.
"There really is?" ask some of his other friends, laughing. They walk together going home from school.
"There was. The rail! The rally! Melina!" Said the man who was with them.
After that a chuckling sound of laughter was heard around the school children.
'I am Relina, that's enough, there are no additions'
Now, Relina is in a region of people, a place she chose to connect and gain life experiences. Here, he only has a friend and also friends who do not know the shortcomings that exist in him.
Let it be that only God knows. He will live frugally as long as he has not applied his salary and he has started working at the company he wants. He unceasingly expressed gratitude.
In this area, no one knows who he is. They can all just say hello, if they meet because they are all busy with activities in their respective spelling world.
Therefore, no one would bother to ask why he was wearing long-sleeved clothes? No one knows, except the one who does, like Ane, his best friend. At the very least, clothes that could cover the mark on his elbow. His habit carried on until he was an adult.
*****
While Junda had already left in his car, Relina was still pecking on the side of the road. Still digesting everything that happened to him and Junda, he did not believe, after he no longer worked with Junda, instead he felt the warmth with him in an accident.
'Uh, I forgot not to say thank you for the kindness of Mr. Junda. Yeah, I thank you for the ride. Why did I want to, ahk .. I owe you, sir!'
Relina walked over, entering her boarding place, while humming a little. Given that he had behaved like a child, while with Junda. Embarrassed if someday, fate forced him to return face to face with Junda.
He just hopes, will never be reunited with the man, except just say thank you ....
