I waited for Rahim, annoyed but I was forced to do it. Farina and I crossed eye at each other. Her cheeks reddened as she was turning her head facing the opposite way. I grinned as soon as I saw Farina's response. The skies were filled with orange dawning glow. I gazed at the sky for a while, not giving a care in the world. Then, I walked to the school decoration bench that was fixed in the middle of class and utility block. I took out a pack of biscuits I took from the canteen that I have been sneaking into the pocket of my backpack.
Farina rested on the staircase for a while. A white staircase with rough tiles. Pretty good to prevent students and teachers from falling. She was being pensive about what will happen next. She then murmurs something that I cant hear while curling her hair. Even doing something so weird in the eyes of people, I can't help but smile at her behavior. I stood up, walks towards her. I took out another biscuit then sat next to her.
"Here," -handing my biscuit to her- "Stop doing that. It will damage your hair, Rapunzel," trying to tease her.
She brushes her hair aside, taking a big bite of the biscuit from my hand. "Nom!"
"Oi! Eat slowly!" I warned her.
"Ighm Sghorry. Igh ckhant khellp it iph itsh yu," she talked gibberish. I can sense some joy emanating from her. Her charming angelic smile can be seen as she was giggling. Unfortunately, some of the biscuits spurred out of her lips.
I observed it, disgustingly. I took out a water bottle, held it out to her. "Here."
She swallowed it empty then gave it back to me.
"Hontodesuka?" I mused to myself. I stood up then filled up the bottle using a water dispenser placed next to a flower pot.
I proceeded to sit beside her. While I was trying to sit, I recalled back what Farina just did. I laughed. Farina looks at me with a bothered face. As I sit next to her, I put my chin to my fist. Seeking resolutions to anything I'm gonna do if there's a terrorist strike
"You know what? I've known you for 3 years," Farina said. "Yet, why it seems that I still can't get a hold of you? I still can't understand what you've been thinking all day. We're both are polar opposite of each other but how did we understand each other," Farina doubted her thoughts while leaning on my shoulder.
"Really?" I look at her. I took my hand and put it on her head. "Maybe this is not where I can show my worth to you," I grinned.
She just smiled as I was patting her head. She turns her body towards me, then she embraced me. I blushed. It felt weird being hugged by a girl. Even after dating for months, I rarely hug her. It's a norm to hold her hand. But a hug? I will wait for her move. I closed my eye. I felt happy being with her. She's like a candle that soothes my mind when I'm near her.
"You remember that time?" she asked.
"What time?"I tried to get a hold of what she's talking about.
"That time when protect us from 'that' teacher," Farina reminded me of that time.
"Yeah. Yeah, I do. It's one the worst day in my life," I responded with a serious face.
How can I forget? The day where students are at the mercy of 'that' teacher. I tried to recall those incidents back. An incident that dirtied the school's name and left a scar on most of the students. But I was stopped.
"Did you know?" she asked.
I went silent. Waiting for her response.
She turns her head towards me. "When I started to like you?"
I stared at her with a determined face.
"It was when-"
"Yo!" she got interrupted.
I woke up confused. "What the-"
"Fuck?" Rahim mocking me. He looks at Farina sitting beside me. "You're more and more becoming just like husband and wife. Why don't you marry already?"
"Stop that!" Farina sulked as Rahim teases her.
"You done yet?" I asked Rahim while scratching my head. Showing him signs that he needs to move fast or I'll kick him.
"Yeah. Let's go."
I stood up. I held my hand out to Farina. She took my hand then stood up.
"Here," Rahim took out a camera and locker keys from a green bag he just took in the classroom.
We marched to our destination. After 3 minutes of walking, we finally left the education area. Reaching a decoration park before arriving at the parking lot.
