The Romance of Earth and Blue
PART 23 – Sanctions from Schools

Some after the brawl between schools, it has become calmer. However, some police officers were hired to keep the school safe for some time.

I was chatting with Karrtika and other friends while eating our lunch until an announcement from the teacher's room about the names being called to face the BK room right now. Actually it's a normal thing. But the name Blue is also mentioned there makes my heart beat great.

Though I thought that the school would not punish the children involved. “Bum, Blue is called,” says Fanny.

I'm nudging. “Iya.”

My mind became restless. I think I want to see him right now. But of course Blue will be directly facing there.

In the fourth hour of the lesson, our teacher was absent and only gave assignments to collect. Fahmi came with a splash.

“You weren't the names that were called to the BK space? They were suspended,” he said starting to bring information.

“Ah, you ngaco for sure. Who said it?” ask Kavi while flipping through the package book.

“I will be called Miss Reni to mengumpulin task this morning. Well there so denger.”

“What's the problem? The brawl? I think that comes with a lot of brawl, why is it the only one called.”

“They got caught in school again. Crazy huh. At school, it's a waste of parent money. I got scors a week. Their parents are also again called that now.”

I was wide awake to hear it. If I smoke and bawurann, I really already know if Blue is so. But drunkenness? No. gabe. Blue is not that kind of person.

“What? Is that really? If it's wrong instead of you tarnishing people's good names?” I stood up and patted the table while looking at Fahmi seriously. I could feel my voice trembling a little.

Seeing that one class became silent. But I don't care.

“Why? Because your boyfriend has to, too, huh? Earth, is there still such a thing as a good name? Your girlfriend and her friends are like you already do not have a good name anymore deh.”

I look at him with a bitch. “Keep you think that man has only one side of good and evil?"

Fahmi did not answer.

“Earth, sorry interrupts. I have absolutely no intention of stopping you. My business is the same you are spun. I want to talk to you as a classmate. My message is not too blind, you do not be too belain your boyfriend want as much as you are with him,” he said to anoint me.

“Still for the care.” I'm lazy to prolong the problem. I decided to drop out of class and look for Blue. I have to get that information alone.

In the hallways of the classroom, I saw an old man looking for something in a dry ditch. He seemed to have trouble seeing and fumbling what was in front of him.

I felt unbearable because I remembered my late grandfather. I rushed to the old man. “Excuse me father, find what?” my many.

“This money fell from the wallet,” he replied. I can see he was holding a shabby black wallet whose front was a lot of peeling. There were even tears in some parts. Maybe that's why his money fell.

I helped get a 50 thousand piece mixed with junk snacks. “This, Sir.” I'm giving.

I saw him pick it up and lift the money as if he wanted to see it more clearly. “Oh yes really. Thank you, son. I'm sorry ya ngerepotin, I can't see it too clearly,” he said while chuckling.

I smiled and nodded. “Yes, it's okay. Where are you going? Do you want me to take you too?” my bargain is not.

“Whatever can? I am confused. The school is big,” he replied.

“Bby,” answered.

I helped him to stand up. The school was indeed very quiet as it was still a lesson hour. So naturally this father was confused because no one could help him.

“Earth!”

I looked over and found Blue not far from me.

“Blue?” the man called the name Blue.

Blue did nothing but come to us. “Where is it from? Blue said go home. Turns out it's still here,” says Blue.

I was shocked to discover that the person I helped was Blue's father.

I just stood up clumsily as Blue now looked at me.

“Ya already, Blue anter ahead yes. Are you sure you can ride the angkot yourself?”

“Can. Can often.”

“Earth, I take father first,” he said goodbye.

“I can come?” ask me carefully.

Blue seemed to think for a while then allow. We walked together to the front of the school. Blue introduced me to his father a lot. Well even though he referred to our relationship as friends, I've understood enough.

Blue Dad's been riding the lot leaving me and Blue both here. “You are back to dalem?” tanyakanya.

I'm shaking. “Can't sit here for a minute?”

“You'll miss class,” says Blue.

“Guruku. So secure. The task is also finished I have done,” I replied very steadily.

Finally Blue nodded and sat back down.

“I didn't think it was your father,” I said starting the conversation.

“Iya. Is it old, huh? New father married age 40, different 10 years with mother. It's also not easy to have children.”

I nodded in understanding. There's actually a lot I want to get out of his family. But I was too afraid to ask.

“You-“ I raised my head and looked at him. “okay?”

Blue smiled slightly then stroked the top of my head. “I’m okay.”

“How long in suspension?” ask me very carefully.

“You know?” blue was surprised about it.

I'm nodding.

Blue stared far ahead and took off our gazes. “One week. Dad's not angry. But it looks disappointed. I am a child who is a burden for parents,” he said while chuckling.

I'm pretty sure that Blue looks sad.

The look in his eyes described the feeling he was experiencing at this moment.

“You really mabok?” ask again.

“Sorry, Earth. I'm not as good as you think. But yes, I am like this.”

“So really yes?” I can't explain how I feel right now.

Blue nodded. “That's the first time. I'm not good with my friends, they all drink. So don't want me either. But I don't know who reported it, the teacher became our mergokin.”

“Blue, do you know that liquor is a danger?”

“I know. I'm not getting to mabok. Just drink little.” He still gives reasons.

I looked down at my slightly shabby shoes. I don't feel my tears falling. I can't hold my shit.

“Earth, why cry?” Blue is panicking. He immediately raised my head. Our gaze back to meet. “you are disappointed yes same me?” tanyanya slow.

I am not able to answer at all. Only the stuffing is getting better.

“Earth, sorry. Sorry I'm too bad for you.”
