LEAFY LONGS FLOWERING SILENT
CHAPTER 41: LOVE YES! COURTING NO!

"Gue wants to be like that albatross. I've found true love and I don't need to have it now, if now is not the right time. I want to wait until the right moment comes and until we can be together again." Clearly Rosa.

"So you don't mean to fuck me?" ask Fakih. Rosa shakes. "Absolutely not. Elo said, someday we'll be together again, right?" Fakih.

"To be exact, I just want to say, I'll continue to love you. Elo has managed to show me how much love it has for me. Currently free to debate Kih, our hands are still too small, not changed. But with patience, one day we will be able to achieve what we want." Clearly Rosa.

"Elo wants to keep loving me until when? What if we never get a chance to be together again?" Ask Fakih.

"Like the albatross, forever. If I don't have the chance to be together again, at least I'm satisfied to have found true love in this life." Reply Rosa explained.

Fakih stunned...!!! He did not expect Rosa to be this strong and strong in dealing with the heart problems that exist between them.

"Cha, you once said, you're going to be the dumbest person in love! You're wrong, Cha. I've never heard anyone say this. In senetron-senetron or Korean drama though. Well, if you're sure. I will keep all the love for you forever. Elo just gave me the strength for it." Reply Fakih with his explanation.

"Well, you understand, right? Can I go home now? People will think we're dating?" rosa Goda.

"Oh yeah? We don't want that to happen. Aren't you?" said Fakih who stood leaning against the table while blinking one eye.

"Cha?" fakih said slowly as Rosa passed in front of him.

"What else?" ask Rosa.

Fakih then swiftly placed her right hand on Rosa's back and pushed Rosa's back towards her. Less than a second later, Rosa's face was already facing him. He stared at the pair of eyes that made him fall in love. Then Fakih slowly brought her lips closer to Rosa's cheek. Rosa could not move or say anything. He could only close his eyes while smiling. A sweet, heart-wrenching kiss. First kiss for both.

Rosa still closed her eyes as Fakih retracted her lips from Rosa's cheeks three seconds later. He just opened his eyes when Fakih held onto his chin.

"It's a pity that you couldn't feel how it felt to be kissed" Rosa said, smiling sweetly.

Rosa then slowly kissed Fakig's right cheek while slightly pinching. Her tiny lips had landed a thin kiss that on Fakih's cheek felt warm and soft.

"Gue sure wasn't as sweet as elo's kiss just now" Fakih replied after Rosa was done.

"Gue is just mimicking what you do. Revenge of her name." answered Rosa.

"Well, now, if anyone sees us, we must really be considered dating" Fakih said with a big smile.

"Oh yes, forgot. Keep going, dong?" Reply Rosa.

"Yes elo came home dong, a sneak run there" said Fakih while laughing.

"Okay, I go home firstwell, my friend." said Rosa smiled, then kissed Fakih's left cheek, then said "The one over here envies later."

Rosa had just turned her body when Fakih pulled her back.

"Say you ask to be kissed again" he said.

Rosa laughing. Fakih kissed her cheek again. This time a little longer than before.

"Kih, we're going to be dating again is that okay?" ask Rosa.

"No. We just love each other." Reply Fakih.

***

I'm sure in my heart, you're the one I need.

I think only you make me miss.

If you are mine by then.

Because I know you are.

Until I've waited for whatever it is.

For the love I feel, which is only for you.

Believe me, I really said everything.

Reassure your heart you're mine

Because I know you are.

For months, Rosa and Fakih have been patient in harboring their dreams of being together. Now they have moved up to third grade. Third-graders should not have to spend a lot of time outside of lessons, including organizational activities though. Even so, Rosa got a little dispensation, because she became the chairman of the committee of the grand festival at the School of Health Nurses. Moreover, Rosa's values are not in the least affected by her extra activities. When she went up to class last year, Rosa was ranked first, Fakih was only slightly adrift behind her, ranking two. The highlight of the festival this time is the flower parade. Festival participants must decorate vehicles with flowers. Other events that take place during the full week include cooking competitions, math competitions, physics, chemistry, computers, band races, smart meticulous and much more.

The festival is two days away and all is ready. The design of the decor for the flower vehicle is also ready. Floral vehicles must be adorned in the field on the day before the last day of the festival, because the flower parade on the last day of the festival, be advised of the peak event.

The national graduation exam is only three months away. Before the exam, almost every day there is a test or a repeat. As an exam preparation. Until it feels like I have memorized all the lessons from first grade to third grade. Fortunately, the activities at school take up so much time Rosa and Fakih daily, so both of them do not think much about their problems. Papah and Mamah also seemed to believe in the words of Oma, so they never mentioned Fakih's name again.

Rosa even according to fill out the registration forms for various High Schools in Bogor. But his determination was unanimous, he only wanted to enter the medical faculty at the University of Lampung, in Lampung. Fakih did not know this plan of Rosa, because Rosa was sure, if she told Fakih, Fakih would definitely force him again to go to Bogor alone. Rosa felt that this decision was the best, and without the pressure or coercion of any party.

The existence of Fakih was not included in his consideration in making decisions. This was his dream from childhood, and no one could stand in his way. This afternoon is the last rehearsal for the band that will perform, including an impromptu band formed by Fakih and special friends for this festival event. Rosa as the chairman of the committee had to see the whole last rehearsal event, including Fakih's band. There are three bands that will perform from this State Secondary School.

Rosa did not take part at all in the band race, as she wanted to concentrate more on her chemical race. After all he did not have much time for rehearsals, as organizing the entire festival event had really taken up a lot of his time. Not to mention having to study for an exam. Today Rosa can be more relaxed, because the task today is just watching the last exercise. A lot of supportive kids were in attendance this afternoon, especially since they wanted to see their school band before performing at the race. Fakih deliberately did not form a band with a keyboad, because he himself also did not have much time to practice. Fakih actually also did not want to participate in the band, because he also participated in math and argumentation competitions and was smart. But finally after being forced, he wants to be the main vocalist.

Rosa who sat in the front row could not release her attention from Fakih on the theater stage that looks very sweet. It's very fakih style on stage, in accordance with the song he sang. While continuing to sing, Fakih walked down the stage towards Rosa, then sang in front of her, while welcoming Rosa's right hand with a smile. Rosa was ashamed, let alone the other children cheering all. Fakih's base is shameless. Fakih continued to sing while pulling Rosa's hand to stand up. Rosa nodded while glaring. But because at the push-push of friends left right and behind, inevitably Rosa stood up as well. Fakih led her to about two steps from the chair where Rosa was sitting. Rosa was amused to see Fakih singing right in front of her while shaking her hips.

The children spontaneously applauded and tweeted after Fakih finished singing. Rosa sat back down. His face was red with shame. Luckily Fakih's song ended the band's last rehearsal this afternoon. So the kids broke up the road.

"Elo suck earlier, Kih?" rosa said after a bit of silence.

"Daddy how? Ugly singing?" Ask Fakih.

"Good koq singing. But we'll be dating again?" Reply Rosa.

"No! You don't realize that you're the only girl sitting in the front row? Just chill! They must not suspect." Fakih.

"Are you ready for the math race, huh?" ask Rosa.

"Well, what else do you want to be prepared for? Almost every day there is a mathematical repetition. That can be made preparations, right? How's elo himself?" Reply asked Fakih later.

"Gue in training continues to be the same Mr. Hadi Parjono in the chemical laboratory. Theory and practice. Theory is much easier than practice. But I seem to have mastered the ingredients enough! When I took the chemistry lab exam yesterday I got a good grade on koq." Clearly Rosa.

"Yes, I'm also horrified. Selamet. I denger elo dapet the highest score in the class for chemistry and biology practical exams. The chemistry is mainly, elo number one, while the second number is worth quite far below elo, Cha. I wish good luck with the race." Reply Fakih gives spirit.

"The argumentative and intelligent race is meticulous every day huh, Kih?" Ask Rosa again.

"Yes, because the participants are many, and use the autumn system. Quite deg-degan too, because the topic will be determined during the session, and also raffled pro or contranya. I hope I don't get any weird stuff. I've been diligently reading the newspaper and the news in the teve every day anyway." Fakih replied convincingly.

"Well, the news lately just makes me stern. How not? Demos are everywhere. The atmosphere adds hotter days. Papah's office in Solo suffered mass burn victims you know." Clearly Rosa.

"Oh yeah! Cha" I also became worried with elo later when High School in Bogor city there!" Fakih. I'm afraid that?" Fakih stopped his words.

"God! don't say anything, dong. I can take care of myself. You know I can karate! No expert, like elo Kih but it's pretty good to keep it up." Clearly Rosa is calming.
