The Clinic

Chapter 2

I left the music room and quickly ran to the room because I guess I was enjoying what happened earlier.

There were no more students, so I ran even harder until I felt it and I opened it.

"Ms. Saelah, why are you late?!” I stood up properly because Ma'am Tillafor suddenly shouted.

"ah, I'm at the clinic." when I excuse "My stomach hurt so I stayed at the clinic and then I was confused that I was late." I explained.

Why should I say that I was in the music room and I was with Russel and then it was just the two of us? We will be released then maybe later the die hard fans of Russel and Karina will bully me.

"Okay, sit down." I breathed a sigh of relief because my excuse seemed to be effective, so I immediately went in and sat down.

Ma'am went back to the discussion while I smiled and listened to her carefully, especially now that I'm in a good mood because I talked to my crush.

I just listened to the teachers coming and I didn't even get tired of listening.

If that happens to you, who wouldn't be thrilled and complete the day, right?

The discussions ended so I stood up and took my bag because I was going home. I left the room and was jumping up and down walking like a child.

My smile is so wide, it's like my lips don't part with my smile! That only happened once in a blue moon, that's why I really made the most of it.

I stopped walking when I saw Russel who hurriedly ran to his car and got in. I see that he pushed it.

"Where is that going?" I wonder.

He was in a hurry, I just shrugged as I followed Russel's car. But I was almost out of balance when I bumped into something.

"Come on, sorry."

"Sorry."

We answered at the same time so I looked at the person I bumped into because it seemed to be tough. My eyes widened because I recognized who I bumped into.

"I'm sorry, miss. Because I'm not looking at the road." he said smiling while scratching the back of his neck.

While I was stunned into nothingness.

"Miss?" calling it.

Even though I was floating, I uttered his name.

"A-aziel?"

I blinked several times to confirm if it was really Aziel in front of me.

"You know me?" this is a strange promise.

Probably! I really know you, we just went to the same school and add that they are famous here.

"You guys are famous here." I promise.

"Yes, by the way." he scratched his head because he seemed to remember that he was famous, I wanted to punch him because he seemed to float.

"Ah, I'm sorry. Because I'm not looking at the road." I apologize.

"No, it's okay. It's my fault too." I smiled at what he said.

Why are the t-troops so nice?! Russel and Aziel are like falling from the sky! I can smell the green flag on her.

"I'll go first." I promise because I feel like I've been counted after the atmosphere around us.

It nodded. "Alright, I'm really sorry."

"It's OK! Sorry to you too!” I smiled goodbye before waving at him while walking backwards.

He also waved back so I turned to face him because I might bump into someone again, I was so stupid.

I returned home safely, actually we can afford it, we are not rich. Our house is just the right size, enough for three people but also a bit big.

"You're back home." mommy came to me who was already preparing dinner on the table.

I smiled and went straight to him and immediately hugged him and kissed him on the cheek. "Miss you, mommy."

"You really are a child!" This promise made me laugh.

"My mother and daughter, why don't you include me there?" mommy and I looked at each other when someone spoke "Dad." I promise here.

He came to us and hugged me and mommy. It's like all my tiredness in school disappeared because of her.

This is my home and my comfort zone.

I walk to school now, I only walk because it's walking distance.

We have a car because I don't want to be picked up, so I can exercise my body by walking.

When I arrived at the school, my schoolmates immediately greeted me and were whispering to each other around.

"Karina and Russel are said to be separated."

"Omg, is that true?"

"Karina is said to have left the country."

"No way! The perfect, perfect couple suddenly disappeared?!”

"I didn't expect the two of them to separate."

"It's like there's nothing wrong with their relationship."

"True."

“Oh my God. For sure, Russel is super duper sad right now.”

"My poor baby Russel."

"Karina just left him."

"Baby Russel still loves him very much."

It seems that everyone already knows, I said it. What happened yesterday was scattered and scattered, I just continued walking while looking around.

Left and right, students are all gathered together and they all have the same topic, the others even stay away from the other group to catch gossip.

I just shook my head, there are so many marites! But me, just a little.

Besides, I don't spread gossip, that's why I said yesterday that I'll let the gossip spread first so that I can pretend that I just gathered or heard about it.

I just walked straight and for some unknown reason instead of going straight to the room, I went to the music room.

When I got there, I grabbed the doorknob before looking around. There were no people... I turned before entering completely.

Like yesterday, it was still silent and dark.

I closed the door and felt around to see if there was anyone or not. But I can't feel anything, it seems like he's not here I hoped that he was here so that somehow, I could comfort him again like yesterday. Especially now that what happened is scattered, isn't it, that makes me even sadder.

Even if it's just friendly comfort to make him feel a little better, right, I made him laugh yesterday, maybe that's possible again?

But maybe it's impossible, because it just happened that he was there and I was there too.

I just sighed before turning around and holding the doorknob, I was about to turn it to get out but I froze when I felt someone hug my back.

"You're here."

My eyes widened and I could feel my heart beating faster because of the person hugging me tightly from behind.

That voice...

“R-russel?” I swallowed because I still stuttered a bit.

He didn't speak so I was even more nervous, he was hugging me! How can I calm down?!

His hug on my back got even tighter so I was pressed by him even more, making my forehead sweat. I know he is broken hearted but is it right for him to hug me?

But maybe he really just needs a comfort zone, I just bit my lip and let him hug me.

We were like that for a few minutes, so I started to feel awkward in my body.

"You know it, right?" I still flinched when he suddenly spoke.

He is probably referring to the gossip earlier, I want to say that I knew yesterday, my two eyes even saw how they would break up.

I felt that he had separated from hugging me so that was my chance to face him.

His big eyes looked at me and he seemed very tired. He looks so bad now, I'm going to cry again when I see him.

I nodded to what he asked. "I-I heard it outside." I promise. "I came here maybe because you're here and I didn't make a mistake." I added.

He just bowed down so I approached him before grabbing his wrist and pulling him to the mini stage.

I made him sit on the chair and immediately patted his shoulder. "Is that why you were sad yesterday?" I will ask I left behind him and took another chair to sit in front of him. He was just stunned and watching from afar.

What I do know is that he now needs someone to talk to and accompany him. He needs comfort, you can't just leave him here.

"Yesterday..." I fell silent when he spoke again. "S-she broke up with me." his voice broke and I could clearly see how his eyes were watering again.

"I l-love her so m-much." the tears that he had been holding back fell completely.

I looked up to stop the tears that wanted to fall from my eyes, it's hard when it's a man crying in front of you.

You will feel differently when you see a man crying just because of a woman.

You can feel that he really loves Karina.

Holding back tears, I faced him and immediately moved the chair to be closer to him.

I pulled him close to me and immediately hugged him, I stroked his back and indicated that it was okay and that he should just let out his feelings.

"S-she said to me that they are leaving the b-country."

I just let him cry on my shoulder, even if I get wet it's fine.

"Not sure if she will come back." I hugged him even tighter. "B-but I told her that I will wait for her." I just let him talk and talk and tell me stories.

"She refused... she said, no more."

My eyes watered again, why are my tears shallow? Because his stories are so painful, you can really feel the longing in his voice.

"Just last night... they left." I was slightly surprised by what he said.

I suddenly remembered how he left in a hurry last night when he got home.

"I went to the airport last night." I let go of hugging him so he sat up and looked at me His eyes are swollen and then the under eyes are red as well as his nose and ears.

"I-I never caught up with him." I just stared at him. "She leaves me... she leaves me, Saelah." tears came to his eyes again.

"Shh." I will let him live. "What if she will come back?" when I make him feel better.

It looked at me. "Don't give me hope." this weak promise. "I don't want to hope." he said and looked at the guitar.

My mouth was closed because of what he said. "It has come out of his mouth that he is not sure if he will come back."

I just sighed and didn't say anything.

"Can you sing for me?"

I was surprised to look at him because of what he said. What? I sing to him?!

I just stared at his very tired and sad face. I just swallowed, I'll just give him what he said, maybe he'll feel better.

"are you sure?" I promise to ask.

It stared into my eyes so I was a bit stunned again. "Yes, can you do it for me?" this weak promise. "I can't sing because my voice will crack."

I just nodded before picking up the guitar and when I faced him again, I strummed it to see if it was in the right tone.

I smiled as I got the tone I was going to sing before looking at him.

"I hope you enjoy this song."

I prepared my hands for each piece and immediately strummed it. I'll sing to him, he can't sing, because he'll just cry.

"I wanna be your vacuum cleaner.

Breathing in your dust.”

When I started, my singing was very modest and I really improved my voice. It's hard to be embarrassed in front of your crush.

"I wanna be your Ford Cortina.

I will never rust.”

I looked at Russel who was staring at me, I averted my gaze from him because I was a bit nervous and I might make a mistake in what I was going to sing.

"If you like your coffee hot.

Let me be your coffee pot.

You call the shots, babe.”

I smiled a little at those lyrics, I hope it hits you Russel. Chos! That person just broke.

"I just wanna be yours.

Secrets I have held in my heart.

Are harder to hide than I thought.

Maybe I just wanna be yours.”

I looked at Russel again, I really looked him in the eye.

"I wanna be yours.

I wanna be yours

Wanna be yours”

When I sing, I don't know if it's a double meaning for him, but for me, it's a double meaning, I'm really correcting him... hehe.

If I were Russel, I wouldn't really do that to you, so I would.

Chararat! It sucks.

"Wanna be yours.

Wanna be yours.”

I finally lowered my voice so as not to cry, I stopped strumming the guitar. Russel looked at me curiously.

"Why did you stop?" it asked.

"Nothing." I promise.

He frowned, so I scratched my head and looked away from him.

"Is that all right?" I asked as I simply returned the guitar to its place.

“Hmm, a little.” it promises. "Thank you I smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up. "Always welcome, idol." I promise.

A small smile appeared on his lips that's why I couldn't stop smiling even bigger because of what I saw.

At least, he can still smile even though his situation is like this now, right?

"I only met you yesterday, but I already told you what happened." he looked away before looking back at me. "You won't tell anyone about this, right?"

I nodded one after the other. “Promise!” I even raised my hand to make sure I wouldn't say it.

But almost all the blood came to my face when he said the next thing.

"Good girl."
