11 Meet Jun

Azmya sees him unable to hold back her tears. It turned out that all this time Jun also liked her. But because Yan threatened him. He couldn't do what his heart wanted. Azmya was about to leave the place and wanted to catch up with Jun without Yan knowing. But she heard something in Yan and friend's conversation that made Azmya widen her eyes.

"Tomorrow, September 15th morning when I'll call Jun to the cafeteria. You put the item in the bag!" told Yan to his friends.

"What is your plan Yan?" Asked Iren a little worried.

"You don't interfere. If you don't, I also can't guarantee you can have the same fate as Jun, understand!" Yan threatened to Iren.

Iren just cried accepting Yan's treatment.

"Where's the Azmya ATM card that she gave us?" Yan asked Oscar.

"Yes, it's safe," said Oscar.

"Tomorrow I want to return it to Azmya, but you didn't take a penny, right at the ATM?" Asked Yan.

"No," said Oscar and Farrel compactly.

Azmya's eyes turn red. If tomorrow, Jun will definitely be tricked by them. She couldn't allow it all. She had to act.

*** ****

It's been almost a week since that incident. Jun doesn't appear to be at school. Vivian said he said he had business. But Azmya feels anxious, afraid that Jun will be seriously ill because of Yan's beating.

Secretly, Azmya goes to the cafeteria and looks for Jun's mother to find out where he is. In the canteen, Azmya sees his mother is busy serving students who are eating. Azmya sat waiting for the opportunity to talk with Jun's mother. And when Jun's mother saw it, Azmya smiled and walked over to her who was making a fruit juice.

"Mom, where is Jun, why he has not been in for a long time?" Asked Azmya.

"Jun has some business in Jakarta for a few days," replied the mother with a slightly forced smile.

Azmya sees it as code that something has happened to Jun.

"Is he okay ma'am, just greetings to Jun, please tell him that i missed him," said Azmya boldly.

"Of course, i will be send your message for him," replied his mother.

"Okay, I'm sorry Ma'am, I have disturbed you," said Azmya as she left. Jun's mother also saw Azmya's departure with a sad look.

**** ****

Actually, Azmya really wanted to call Jun. but her classmates said that Jun didn't have a cellphone or home phone. Even Vivian, the Class Leader, was often overwhelmed when there was sudden information for all of Jun's students who didn't have a number to contact.

It's not that Jun can't afford to buy a cell phone from the money he often participates in from the competition.

He said that Jun's cellphone only made children lazy to study. And Jun never wanted to have a cell phone. Truly backward thinking and incompatible with his intelligence.

Azmya really wants to know about Jun's situation, she really misses Jun's cool, charismatic face.

Days without seeing Jun really make Azmya tormented. Especially since the incident of being beaten by Yan, Azmya didn't know how Jun was doing. Is he okay?

Feelings of curiosity and longing make Azmya tormented and without enthusiasm for going to school.

That afternoon Azmya walked unsteadily to the bus stop in front of the school gate. Her thoughts were still around Jun. Suddenly her cell phone rang. There is a new number to call her.

"Hello," replied Azmya. But there is no sound.

"Hello, who is this?" Azmya asked irritably. Because she is most lazy with pranksters call her.

"It's me!" Came a voice on the phone. For a moment Azmya thought who was calling her. But she felt familiar with the voice.

"Where are you?" Asked the person.

"This is Jun, right?" Asked Azmya trying to guess.

"Yeah, where are you now? Jun asked once again.

"I'm in front of the school gate, just came home from school, where are you?" Azmya replied, asking.

"I'm there now, please wait!" Said Jun and immediately turned off the phone.

Azmya is happy that Jun actually called her. After these few days, she felt missing Jun.

Today Jun called her and soon she will see him. Azmya also sat at the bus stop in front of the school gate. She was waiting for Jun's arrival while staring at her cellphone.

She saved the number that had called her with the name Jun plus a heart emoticon. She hoped it might be Jun's cell phone number.

After waiting for a long time, it turned out that Jun came on a motorcycle. Azmya is a little surprised that Jun brings the motorbike.

"Come up!" Jun asked without showing his face. Azmya approached Jun and noticed Jun's face was still bruised.

"What's wrong with you?" Asked Azmya pretending not to know.

"I'll explain later, now you go up first, let's go from here!" said Jun, giving her a helmet. Azmya obeys then she sits in the back seat.

After Azmya got on Jun and drove his motorbike slowly. He was about to take away Azmya to a place. Azmya was silent without asking many questions. The important thing is she with Jun.

Along the way, the two of them dissolved in silence. According to Azmya, the trip was awkward. Actually, there is a lot that she wants to ask and say. But she hasn't found the right words to start with. While Azmya saw the reflection of Jun's face in the rearview mirror, there was a sad face. Azmya doesn't know the reason why Jun can be that sad. Azmya slowly touched Jun's waist ride it with both hands. She saw Jun's slightly startled reaction in the rearview mirror. But he didn't say anything. Only the face grew sadder. Azmya also tightened her grip. Both of them were deep in their own thoughts.

After traveling for half an hour they arrived at a fairly wide lake. It turned out that the lake was not deserted. Many visitors are also enjoying the afternoon. Jun parked his motorbike near a long bench facing Lake.

Then he invited Azmya to sit on the bench.

The two of them sat down and faced the lake where the lotuses were blooming. For a moment Azmya enjoyed the sight. Then she saw Jun who was staring at his face. Of course, Azmya is embarrassed.

"What's wrong with your face, Jun?" Asked Azmya.

"Are you fighting again with Yan?" Said Azmya.

"For a guy like me is natural and normal to fight, the strange thing is that girls fight with boys! "Answered Jun.

"I'm fighting if i get also a reason." Azmya feels offended.

"I just-- i dont want see you get hurted or injured," said Jun, who had never heard Jun's mouth. It turned out that he was also worried about her.

"I also don't want to see you get hurt like this again," Azmya continued, looking at Jun's face, which was bruised again.

Then Azmya touched Jun's blue forehead. Jun let his face be touched by Azmya. Not feeling Azmya's tears flowed profusely remembering the incident when she witnessed Jun being beaten. She was really hurt seeing Jun's miserable condition.

"Why are you crying?" Jun asked, holding Azmya's hand that was touching his face.

"I just can't accept it, your face is so handsome." Azmya has tears in her eyes.

Jun smiled at that. Azmya's face looked cute when she was crying too.

"Do you really like this handsome face?" Jun teased Azmya. Azmya immediately answered spontaneously with "yes".

Jun smiled and was very flattered by Azmya's answer.

"Especially if you are smiling like this, you will be maximally handsome," joked Azmya, teasing him.

"It turns out that your flirting skills are pretty good, to be honest with me, how many boys have you teased like this?" Jun asked, smiling curiously.

"You are the first?" Replied Azmya who of course Jun didn't believe her.

"Don't belie. I think you often tease and ruffled boys. Especially at that time you were the first -" Jun didn't dare say. But Azmya knows what he means.

"I swear, Jun, this is also my first time going out with a boy." Azmya removed her hand on Jun's face. She was very embarrassed to admit it.

"Then, that was the first time?" Jun teased. Azmya can't stand being teased like that, the reflex she hits Jun's chest. Jun also shouted groaning.

"Sorry!" Said Azmya, remembering that Jun's chest must have hurt because of being hit by Yan.

Jun was still grimacing in pain. Azmya was sorry and she tried to check Jun's chest. Azmya made even more tears. Jun feels uncomfortable seeing Azmya cry.

Jun wiped Azmya's tears gently. And pulled Azmya's hand and buried Azmya's head into his broad chest. Jun could smell Azmya's fragrant hair.

"How cute are you when you cry, but still I don't like seeing you cry!" Jun said stroking Azmya's loose hair.

"How can you be this cute Jun?" Asked Azmya, also surprised. So far, Jun has never shown his feelings. But why is Jun taking her here today and why treat her sweetly like this.

"But remember, it's only with you that I can be this cute!" Jun teased.

"Do you try to say it one more time?" Said Azmya, releasing Jun's hug.

"You heard clearly earlier," said Jun pretending to be annoyed.

Azmya is even more surprised that this time Jun also teases her.

"Then you want to be my boyfriend?" Asked Azmya suddenly.

Jun, of course, was surprised to hear that question. For a long time, he thought then he turned Azmya's body back to face the lake. Then his hand wrapped around Azmya's shoulder.

"Today I'm your boyfriend for a day," Jun replied while looking sadly at the lake. Azmya was shocked to hear that.

"Really, but how come it's only a day?" Asked Azmya in protest.

"If you refuse it, it's okay!"

"No," replied Azmya. She looks so annoyed.

"Listen, we already for the National Examination so we have to focus first for that, we can't go out first, so what about a date for a day?" asked Jun with reason. Azmya also quite understands Jun's reasons, he definitely wants to focus on the exam, and as a student achievers maybe he wants to get satisfactory grades without having to bother and have problems with love and dating. Seeing that Azmya seemed to understand his meaning, he gestured Azmya to look at the front of the lake.

He doesn't want Azmya to see his sad face. Because Jun is trying to make Azmya happy. Actually, he was suffering. He didn't really want to lie.
