The Mediums Help

05

It was raining in the city of Jakarta, the school yard was starting to get flooded with the wind being quite strong. Lightning and thunder came together, the roar made some people cover their ears in fear.

Silva stood at the lip of the top step, her face getting rainwater from the wind. The roar of thunder and strong winds brought her back to remembering last night's nightmare. The good news is that she is at school waiting for public transport that will never stop on the school grounds.

Silva saw that the parents of the students had come, almost all the school residents had gone home. She was left with the students who chose to wait in the classroom with lights and thick sweaters. Silva was reluctant to be in a noisy class, she chose to stand on the terrace of the building with the sound of rain.

Silva took a deep breath before turning to her left, someone was walking with a black umbrella while giving a flat look. The man Silva didn't recognize covered a woman and headed for a black car parked right in front of the building. However, he strangely reappeared with a different expression. He gave the black umbrella to Silva.

"The rain hasn't stopped, wear this so you can go home," said the boy half shouting. "You don't have to put them back because I have lots of umbrellas at home. Stay safe, okay?" Then he walked downstairs covering his head, getting into the car quickly so he wouldn't get caught in the rain.

The beautiful girl next to him made a disapproving face, but she gently caressed David's right arm to keep him from catching a cold. His uniform was a little wet from running without an umbrella, even if it was only for a short time, but the effect could be a cold and a sudden fever.

"Who's he?" asked Anya while looking back, she saw Silva who was still looking at the umbrella. Anya looked back at David curiously, "Who is that girl?"

"I don't know, I don't know who she is. It's just a pity to see her standing there without an umbrella, what if for example she's waiting for the rain to stop to go home?"

"Whether she waits for the rain to let up or not, that's none of your business, that's her business. Don't be too nice to others!"

"Why can not?"

"I don't like it, and I'm jealous!" Anya tightly hugged David's arm, as if she did not want to lose her lover for even a second.

David just laughed at Anya's funny behavior, he stroked the top of his lover's head lovingly. So great was his love for Anya, even greater than his love for himself. David said there would never be room for anyone else. Only for Anya, and will not be replaced.

"Darling, do we want to go to Ancol tomorrow?" asked Anya, she gave David a cute expression. "There's a concert tomorrow night there, but I haven't bought the tickets yet. I'll invite you so we can watch the concert together, okay?"

"I don't like concerts, you know I don't like loud music. I don't even like movies, we better watch N*****x at home!"

"Eh, you're not cool." Anya let go of her hand. She was annoyed at David who always did not want to get out of his comfort zone. "Mr. Asep, stop for a moment, Sir!"

"Why Miss?" said Mr. Asep confused.

"Just obey the stop!".

"Ready, Miss!"

The car slowly pulled over, then Anya got out. She sat in the front seat next to Mr. Asep because of a small dispute behind. Her mood was chaotic, while David could only sigh heavily. He didn't like Anya's childish nature and was always like this when she didn't get what she wanted, Anya also never wanted to think about other people. She always thinks of herself, and then has fun without ever thinking about anyone else.

David Hate, but unfortunately he does not stay away from Anya who even though she has red flag. Too dear, and love makes him blind. Eliminating all the bad grades he saw, and focusing on her best grades is how David has survived so far. Many say he is stupid, but he always accepts it because it is.

Silva remained where she was for twenty minutes. She still held her black umbrella and the school was deserted, but the rain had not let up. As the foreign boy had said earlier, the rain wouldn't stop because there were white clouds. Usually rain like this will last for the next few hours with not too heavy rain.

Lightning no longer flashes, thunder no longer rumbles. Silva stepped down with a black umbrella, her shoes wet in the puddles on the school grounds. She never thought it would end like this, Tengku never came even though he knew it was raining heavily.

She couldn't get angry at adults, choosing to remain silent with a straight face was the right decision. That's according to Silva the last few years because she was tired of fighting with her family. However, even though there are many unpleasant moments at home, there are still many happy ones.

Some moments can still make Silva laugh while daydreaming, so fun to remember.

The car horn stopped Silva, she looked back. Tengku who was in the driver's seat told her to get in immediately with her wet umbrella and shoes.

"Sorry, Dad suddenly had a meeting at the office. I couldn't tell you because Dad's cell phone was off, once again Daddy apologizes for making you wait so long," Tengku said regretfully. Every now and then he turned to Silva who was busy paying attention to the road ahead.

"It's okay, I didn't wait too long. Only half an hour at school." Silva said flatly. Tengku felt uneasy, he patted Silva's right shoulder affectionately.

"Daddy promised not to make you wait anymore, this is the first and last time."

"This is not the first time, Daddy." Silva looked at his interlocutor, still with a flat gaze that made Tengku sigh regretfully.

"This isn't the first time you've been late for pick up honey, but this is the first time Daddy has picked you up late," explained Tengku, still giving a reasonable explanation so Silva wouldn't get upset.

The girl smiled slightly before looking straight ahead again. A busy street in the rain can put her in quite a good mood. "I know Dad, no need to explain like that. I don't mind."

"In that case, it was Daddy who asked, where did the umbrella come from since we never had black umbrellas?"

That's right, Silva just realized about her umbrella again. She looked at her black umbrella that was soaking wet and then turned to face his interlocutor with both shoulders she shrugged. "From the guy earlier, I don't know who. We don't know each other, but he got in the car so I don't think he really needs an umbrella."

"He must like you, Silva."

"No way because he took a girl to the car. They hugged like that, his girlfriend really didn't like it when I was given an umbrella."

"Wow, apparently he already has a girlfriend. When will this daddy's girl have a boyfriend? I want to be introduced when you have a crush on someone later."
