The Romance of Earth and Blue
PART 36 – Without Blue
I nodded to respond then tried to shift focus on the material that would be our project. Next to me, Bima just recorded all the things needed. We really just kept quiet while the others were busy discussing.
“You're still mad?” asked Bima who suddenly opened her voice.
I glanced and our gazes met. I quickly turned my eyes to other places, anything other than Bima.
“I'm sorry, Bumi,” it sounds like a despair.
I know that Bima is not entirely wrong either. He just felt like he couldn't tell me all that.
“Terus?” my many.
“Terus what? I've been trying to get you away from Blue. But the same you Blue always has a happy face. Maybe you don't realize that he looks at you differently. So how can I be willing to remove the happy look from your eyes?”
I was stunned to hear that. I looked at Araaah Bima. So when several times he tried to interfere with my moment with Blue because he wanted to make me loose by itself so as not to hurt? I've drawn enough conclusions now. All that Bima did at that time was simply out of heart, instead of feeling for me like Fanny said.
“OK, kumaafin,” my words finally made Bima look at me in disbelief.
“Serious?”
“Serious.”
“Earth, you're not kidding, are you?” ask again.
I rolled my eyes in a breath of hearing him constantly lashing out with the disbelief he had. “You ask again, I'm not sorry,” I said already upset.
Bima chuckles. “OK thanks,” said.
After the apology session, the atmosphere between us melted. Bima returned to the usual Bima. At least it makes me a little more relieved.
A month just passed. My life has become mediocre again. Just studying, school, courses. That'sthat's all. I haven't seen Blue in a month. Intentionally because I wanted to avoid it. My friends also understand that and often help me to avoid Blue.
“Bring the law right?” kartika asked when I had just arrived at class.
“Bring. I'm from semalem.”
“Good. Miss Hera is a killer. I'm horrified from the next-class boy he said that not bringing the law in the law can not take part in Ms. Hera's lessons for a month. That's bad, right?” fanny Excited.
I shuddered in horror with that.I think the creepiest punishment is to be banned from taking lessons during the appointed time. Maybe my grades will come back down if so.
The class was quite excited because not a few who forgot to bring so busy borrowing from other classes that have the same subjects as us today.
“Bum, play guessing yuk.”
Bima suddenly sat next to me, occupying an empty Kartika bench while going to the toilet. “Don't want to, just be a bell,” I said while returning to focus on the book I was reading.
“Gak asih,”.
I ignored him and refocused. “This is your law until it is covered by all dah,” he started commenting on my stuff as usual.
I'm clucking. “Ya keep why the hell? Let it be neat,” I replied.
Bima. The bell is ringing. I can see Kartika who is in a hurry to enter the class and Bima back on her stool.
Ms. Hera has entered. He was really on time. Movement after movement he did was noticed by us. Classes became very quiet. “Everybody bring the law?”
“Already bu.”
“Prepare on the table now. Anyone who does not carry, will get special punishment from mom.” Hearing that is scarier than the intro of a horror movie.
“Earth, why?” ask Kartika while whispering.
“My laws are gone,” my words bite my lips. Kartika looked at me in wonder.
“Can was you out.”
I'm nodding. “Yes, but no.”
“Try inget-inget, does anyone pinjem?” tanyakanya.
I'm shaking. I'm pretty sure no one's borrowing it. I'm really freaking out about not finding it anywhere.
Ma'am Hera is standing. “Who doesn't laugh? I want personal recognition without having to check one by one.”
I raised my hand slowly. One class immediately set its sights on me.
“Archava, you didn't bring?” I can feel the sharp gaze of Ms. Hera that makes me squeak.
“Iya, Mum.”
“Please, kelu-“
“Loh, Earth. It's your law. How did you forget?”
I turned my head and saw Bima who was standing while brandishing my laws.
“Sorry, Mom. Archava seems to forget that the law is in me,” said Bima casually.
“Call it. I can hardly believe the Archava schoolgirls forgot that. Quickly give it, Bima. And all of you open the package page 31.”
The tension disappeared immediately. But my blood doesn't flow anymore because it's too tense. Bima gave her a laugh while giving the laws of mine. “Your panic face is always funny yes,” he said then returned to his stool.
I'm so upset with him. I should have remembered that Bima had held my laws earlier. He deliberately took it to see my panic on the edge towards receiving the punishment. Bima really tested my mentality.
When the bel rest rang, I quickly approached the bench Bima and hit her shoulder. “Could not be a day just don't bother me!”
“I'm not bothering you.”
“You're bothering me!” I don't want to lose to him.
Bima stood across our height which became lame. “I help you luapin expression.”
“Any!”
He really makes me want to hit that shitty face of his. “Aduh, you guys are fighting constantly. Later mate,” comments Rafaza who is my friend Bima.
“Ogah!” seruku and Bima crosswalks. I looked at him cynically.
“Gas aja, Bumi. Blue is just as Bima is not much different. Yeah, more handsome Blue anyway,” Rafaza chuckles.
“Mending single,” said I then hurriedly approached Fanny and Kartika who were preparing to go to the cafeteria.
But the bad luck finally came to me. I was in line to buy lunch accidentally collided with Blue. It happened when I got my bowl of meatballs and took it very carefully to the table. But a group of students were seen joking and running around like in kindergarten until they accidentally nudged me and made a piece of my meatballs spill on my white uniform. Not enough there, I who walked backwards to avoid the spill actually hit the chest of the Blue field.
“You okay? Your uniform is wet,” he said as he took a tissue from the table next to us and gave it to me.
I brushed his hand away with reflex and quickly moved away from him. I could see Blue's gaze shocked at my behavior towards him. I couldn't at all interpret his gaze. That looks like disappointment.
