‍‍‍‍‍‍ "Hi, long time no see."

The short words that escaped from the girl's lips made Akala's body instantly freeze. It's been a long time, even too long. It felt like the voice didn't greet him anymore. Then what brought him back here?

To the place where their story began.

his lips felt stiff to answer that.

"hi" he said as he immediately left.

Binta is a little confused about what happened to this man, her little friend whom they had been separated for 6 years.

Akala feels awkward to start a conversation with him, he immediately leaves because there will be someone he will meet in the park.

Binta comes to Bandung again to continue her education here. And unexpectedly he met his little friend.

I come to the garden just to see his best friend, Bella. Bella is Akala's best friend, who, unexpectedly, also has feelings for her.

"hi Bell" said someone while sitting beside Bella

"La, how long has it been" asked Bella

"It's jammed because Bel," said Akala, lying even though he was taking a long time due to pacing back and forth in the park thinking about Binta who suddenly came to Bandung.

6 years ago Binta went to Jakarta as a result of her parents' work, which demanded that she move to Jakarta. binta did not think that he would come home to death. He thought he would stay in Jakarta for the rest of his life.

"why is Akala avoiding me? Does Akala not know me anymore?" That sentence had filled the beautiful girl's mind ever since leaving the garden.

today, Binta's first day came to Jakarta. The first thing he did was take a leisurely walk around the beautiful city of Bandung.

Binta comes to the garden where she used to spend time with Akala. and there he also decided that Akala would go to Jakarta, and there he met Akala again. His best friend.

"La, you said you wanted to say something important to me, what? How come you didn't say" Bella said, breaking the Adam's apple's reverie.

"hmm, why the bell?" Akala asked unfocused

"You said you wanted to talk to me, but you haven't said anything," Bella answered

"I didn't say anything from earlier?" asked Akala again.

"II ... How come you don't listen to me," Bella said

"Sorry, Bel" said Akala apologetically

"OK, let's go home," Bella grumbled.

"Uh, why is that bell" asked Akala

"i don't care, let's go home"

"do not want,"

"OK, I'll go home alone, if you don't want to hang out," Bella muttered

"yes, let's go home," said Akala.

Since Binta went to Jakarta 6 years ago, Akala felt so lonely that he had never found a friend as good as Binta.

However, when Akala entered junior high school, he found a woman who was always there and always listened to his heart.

Akala used to tell his heart to Bella about the problem of the woman he likes. But now it is different, there is a sense of comfort and affection for Bella.

Today, Binta's first day back to school in Bandung. After 6 years he never visited this romantic city again, today he will spend his time here even in the future.

As usual, Binta was delivered by her parents like a kindergarten child, not without reason her parents treated her. but there is one reason that makes her parents have to watch out for her only daughter.

"Ta, I'll pick you up later, if you call it too long," said Binta softly.

"Dad, how long do you want to be treated like this? Do you want to get married Dad never gave Binta freedom. It's been almost 2 years, Dad, have you done this to me, aren't you bored? "Binta grumbled

"Ta, you know why dad did this to you? It's all for your good Ta. Anyway, daddy will pick you up later Don't let the incident happen again, Ta "emphasized Binta's father

"It's up to Dad," said Binta immediately got out of the car without paying attention to his surroundings.

Binta jogged to leave in front of her Dadz. To the extent that he didn't look around and hit someone

"Aw, sorry I didn't see it" said Binta, trying to stand up and watch who hit her.

"Akala? Hi, how are you?" he asked, stretching out his hand to Akala

It was not Akala who answered, but the woman who was with Akala who answered Binta's hand.

"Bella" said the woman who was with Akala

"Binta" in short and leave them

"La, you don't know that girl? She just knows you, to the point that she says your name, why don't you know her" asked Bella.

"I don't know him that's why I don't say hello" Akala responded flatly

"Really? But he seems to know you La," Bella continued again

"I don't know Bel, I'll just go if you want to talk about him" said Akala who didn't want to talk about Binta.

"Uh, no, let's go," Bella replied immediately following Akala from behind.

***

"You are so stupid Ta, how come you want to say hi to Akala, which you will also know he won't want to say hello to you?" grumbled Binta scolding herself

I feel so embarrassed by what happened to Binta earlier, surely she has been discussed throughout the school.

this time, Binta was in the school bathroom. He didn't dare come out before the school bell rang.

It's been 10 minutes Binta is in the school bathroom, this is the time for her to come out of the small room, showing herself in her class again.

he walked fast so that no one could see him. Binta paid no attention to her surroundings and hit a person who was walking.

"Uh, sorry I accidentally" said Binta.

"You are the girl in the video with Akala, right?" Asked the man.

"How do you know?" asked Binta again

"Yes, it's impossible for me not to know, your video has spread throughout the school. Whatever happens at this school is impossible not to update the children here at speed. Especially if you have dealt with Akala. The school's prima donna" replied the man. "Oh yes, introduce me Fathur" he continued again

"I am Binta" he replied immediately, but was b locked by Fathur.

"Why don't you go straight away? You don't need to be afraid of me, I'm not as famous as Akala. So, you're not going to publish anyway. Take it easy". Fathur explained

"It's already in class, I don't want to be late, especially I'm still a new kid," said Binta

"Isn't it too late? Or is it my clock?" asked Fathur

"Give it up"

"What? Vegetable lode?" Fathur chuckled

"Bye, I want to go in first" said Binta immediately left

Fathur smiled at Binta's behavior, which he thought was funny, different from the woman he had met.

binta hurriedly went to her class before the angry teacher. That will make the problem even worse.

Tok ... ok

"Yes, come in" said the woman who was standing in the class, it seemed like she was a teacher who was teaching in the class

"Excuse me, I am a new kid at this school ma'am and I was placed in this class, ma'am," said Binta.

"Please introduce your name" instructed the teacher to Binta.

***

Binta has finished introducing her name, and it feels like she is very nervous about being in that class. just now he introduced his name, dozens of pairs of eyes had seen him cynically.

Binta sits in the back seat, not without reason, but only because the empty seat next to it is just the weakest chair.

He sat next to the girl with shoulder-length hair who seemed like a cool person. but his guess was not true, just as he sat down the woman seemed to have judged him.

"You are the craziest human I know for 16 years I have lived on this earth. Now think about how brave you are when you behave in public? Do you want to put your face downAre you interested in Akala? To the extent that you can behave like that "he hissed he did not let Binta speak at all." Or do you already love Akala? Yes, I just found out that there is love at first sight. I hope your behavior ends there, you don't have to repeat it again or your life will not be calm as long as you are still in this school. "

"You don't have to know about my life, you don't know what relationship I have with Akala? So don't worry about being someone," said Binta.

"What relationship do you have with Akala? Ex? Or are you Akala's ex?"

"Watch what you say, you don't really have any ethics when you say" said Binta, pointing at the woman.

"Uh, you don't need to point too," said the woman shaking off Binta's hand

they didn't pay attention to their surroundings at that time, so the teacher who was teaching called the two.

"Binta, Gavina! What are you guys doing back there? You haven't noticed me from there?" asked the teacher

Instantly Binta and Gavina fell silent and did not move at all.

"Right now you guys go to the court and salute the flags until my lesson is over" said the teacher.

Binta could not say anything else she just surrendered not to fight back to the teacher.

***

It's been almost 1 hour Binta and Gavina are in the field saluting the flag. binta can no longer take her physical condition is not strong anymore, this is the thing she is most afraid to happen. Just this morning his parents warned him not to happen again and this time it did happen.

1 year ago Binta was diagnosed with chronic anemia. this is a bad reality that Binta, that poor girl has to accept.

Fresh red blood had fallen from the girl's nose. His face already looks pale white. Her vision was blurry.

Brukkk

Instantly his vision was black. The girl had passed out on the floor. his face was already covered with that red patch.

Gavina saw what was happening, there was pity in her mind and she immediately called people who passed by.

"Akala, come here" said Gavina called Akala who was passing by the corridor.

Akala immediately ran because he saw Gavina trying to carry Binta

Akala immediately took Binta to the school UKS room for examination.

Akala had seen that the woman was Binta. He could not bear to see what happened to Binta. However, everything is blocked by the ego. Akala went straight away from there so that Binta didn't see that it was Akala who brought her to the UKS room .
