Remember You
The Promises

"DOR!"

"Not surprised."

"Ahl Not cool!"

"Go all the way there, Jery. I don't want to see your face."

The one who was bullied suddenly displayed a sour face. "Why? Don't I look handsome today?"

I turned for a moment to his sweet-sitting existence on Jeje's bench, before finally throwing a half-emotional cobbled look. "Yes." Yeah."

Short answer, but I believe it feels so piercing the inner master. Evident from the sound of a loud whisper that is now heard greeting my room. "You are a sinner."

"Whatever."

"You're going to the cafeteria with me, aren't you?" tawar Jery excited.

"No" I replied lazily.

"Why?"

"It's okay."

"You why the hell? I've been watching your face look like an armpit crease. Bended and sour. Any issues?"

Right now I'm not in a good mood. Don't want to talk much. Don't wanna do anything. Just want to spend time alone and drift in daydreams. Want to make your mind at least feel a little calmer. But why would Jery come and provoke something I didn't expect to question at all. That's very upsetting.

"If you want to go to the cafeteria, just go. You also have your sex girlfriend to eat with. Don't mind me" I said bluntly, though there was honestly guilt for rejecting his offer that seemed sincere from the heart.

Clang softly, Jery then said, "Rahel is on a diet."

Seeing her expression turn moody made me even more haunted by guilt. So, I decided to reach into the pocket of the skirt to take the 10,000 won [+ 127,000 IDR] money stored in there. Then I handed the money to Jery, making him spontaneously link his two eyebrows confused.

"This is for you. Buy whatever you want in the cafeteria. If there is any leftover, take it. Think of it as money to pay my debt yesterday" I explained, pulling Jery's palm, then putting the money there.

"I don't want to go if you don't come." Jery threatened. He even returned the money to me with a non-relaxing face.

"Yes, whatever," I said ketus while turning my face. Then choose to fold both hands on the table and hide my unsavory face there.

"You're a freak today, Al."

For some reason, hearing the sentence that just came out of his mouth was successful in making the emotions that I had been holding back desperately more turbulent. For no reason, I feel so offended. My sentiment has reached the top of the crown.

"Can you shut up? I don't want to bacot with you."

"You're mens?" the question is so light, even he had a chuckle, as if he was deliberately tempting to be invited to joke. That's not funny. If only he knew what was now plaguing my mind that it felt like my head wanted to break, I'm sure he wouldn't dare to speak like that.

"Oh! Or maybe you're like this because Mama nagged yesterday huh?"

"YEP! JERYCO!" I shouted while kicking my desk leg until the table was shaken and pushed far forward.

"Y-yes?" Jery was clumsy. Freeze in the seat. "Did I say it wrong?"

Not heeding the question, I chose to get off the bench. Walking gontai towards the doorway, leaving Jery without a word, not even glancing at him at all.

I don't understand why it's going so slow today. The break time that usually feels fast and passes in just an instant, now feels very long and boring.

I don't even know where my steps are going. Without a definite direction. Just following your heart. Down the hallway and up the stairs no matter the direction at all. Until finally subconsciously I was in the rooftop of the school building. By ourselves. But at least for the time being I can wash my mind away without anyone knowing.

Take a deep breath, then exhale slowly and turn to raise my head towards the vast landscape of the sky, enjoying how the dazzling sunlight keeps my eyelids from squinting narrowly. But it did not last long, because slowly I began to feel dizzy and my vision became cloudy.

Stupid indeed. Who is willing to face the sky to watch the sunlight at eleven in the morning? If it wasn't Alena Mega Frananda, I don't think anyone would.

A second later, I took the phone in my chest pocket. Then opened the protective casing and found a small polaroid photo that looks dull inedible age.

I smiled for a moment before finally paying full attention to the successful photo to make the memory of my past ring back in my mind. It was a photo taken during my fourth birthday celebration. In this photo, I was blowing on a four-figure candle, and there was Dad and Mom beside me who were smiling broadly and clapping their hands. The three of us both wore cute costumes and bunny headbands. Until I finally realized that this is the last photo I celebrated with my father and mother.

If asked what my greatest desire is right now, I would say, I want to meet Mom, hug her, and tell her how disappointed I am with Dad who reneged on his promise to be faithful.

Tell me if I'm being too selfish. But which child is not disappointed to see his father make love to another woman, even though he has promised to love his wife to death. They will not betray, but they will also betray. Secretly making love to another woman. He confessed his loneliness and said hundreds of words of regret to his son who was already disappointed. If you see this, will you also cry because you feel betrayed?

"You crying?"

My body was aghast as soon as the baritone's voice flew suddenly. Immediately I turned around and found Jery's existence standing right in front of me.

"You following?" tanyaku gurgle while quickly wiping tears with fingers. I don't want to look pathetic in front of him.

Jery nodded, before finally replying, "You seem like a person with no spirit in life, so I followed you for fear of something happening to you."

"Excessive how do you mean? Now I'm asking, why are you on the rooftop alone if you're not planning a suicide?" The man walked closer to my precedent. Align the body, then look at both balls of my eyes. "Is there a problem?"

I shook my head slowly.

"You can tell a story if it makes you feel calm. Not everything can be held alone."

"I'm fine. Just act like normal, Jery. I'm not comfortable with your attention right now" I said, throwing my face away. I think my mind is getting more depressed if this continues. My heart is beating now.

"Why? I just don't want to see you like this. Honestly, I prefer Alena who is bar-bar rather than Alena who suddenly shut up for no reason" he said before finally switching to take something from her pants pocket.

"This is your necklace, I'll give it back."

My hands reflexively clenched because I thought Jery would give it to me. Turns wrong. Jery actually brought her steps closer to my body. Then without permission began to wrap both hands around my neck.

"What are you doing?!"

"Sstt... Be still. I'm concentrating on putting a necklace around your neck" he replied with his face now aligned to my right ear. I could hear the regular sound of her breathing. And it makes me feel even more unhinged. "I can do it myself."

Nah!

A hard enough jolt landed right in the middle of my forehead. "Slow, chirped him with the hand that reached back into his pants pocket. This time he handed her a thin piece of brown cloth. I'm not sure, but it looks like it's a handkerchief.

"Well your tears with this. Soon the doorbell will ring, we'll be right back."

I shook my head slowly, hinting at rejection.

"Why?"

"Must be your former snot," I said very softly.

Jery chuckles, "Defamation. I washed it yesterday. Gih, put it on."

Immediately I took the handkerchief from his hand, then began to wipe the tears that are still faithfully dammed in the eye peluk.

"Actually I lied. That handkerchief hasn't been washed yet and I used it to wipe my dirty desk earlier."

Plaque!

"DAMN HORSE!!" my raku while breaking his arm with a handkerchief. Did I just experience a fraud and a social crime?

"Well!!! Be ill. Forgiveness!!"

Seeing him grimacing in pain, I immediately stopped my actions.

"Look! You just cursed me. Your bar-bar souls have returned. Do we need to celebrate?" tanya teased while laughing.

"Not Funny, Jery."

"Funny anyway. The proof is that I laughed." He deliberately showed his rabbit teeth.

"Whatever."

Three seconds later, Jery suddenly raised his right little finger.

"Why?" many wonder.

"You promise me no?"

"What?"

"Promise not to cry in front of me."

I grinned softly, "Why should I promise? This is my body, so I have every right to cry even if you have to see it."

"I don't like it."

"Just tell me the reason. Don't beat around the bush" I asked.

"There's no excuse. I don't know why I asked you to promise me this, either" Jery said.

"Oh."

"So how?" Jery raised her eyebrows, putting on a thirsty expression of answers. "My neighbor is starting to feel cramped."

I nodded, then began to develop a sweet smile and reply to the link on her little finger.

He also returned my smile and said, "From today on we are good friends."
