Keenand's Statement of Love
"Good morning .." Likha entered her room which was already open. Her four friends were ready to go to school, Iren, Niken, Alicia, and Dina immediately hugged Likha when they heard the voices of their friends and friends that they had been worried about all night long finally returned.
"Likha, where have you been dear? We are very worried, are you okay?" all Likha's friends asked him. Likha smiled, her heart warmed because all her friends were very nice to her, they were also very worried about her.
"Alhamdulillah friends, I'm fine. Just a little bump on my forehead, I changed my clothes for a while and we have to go to the canteen and then go to school. I have to immediately meet with Ba'ih and Kak Riyanto. I got lost yesterday. " Likha had changed into her uniform with the blink of an eye, because she had already showered at Azzam's place earlier, Likha also told her friend what happened to her. Likha knew that her friend was very worried about her.
"Hahaha ... your story is so funny, Likha, I was really amused by it. Even though last night we couldn't sleep because we thought about you, but what happened to you was really ridiculous." Alicia laughed until she cried hearing Likha's story. Ida saw Likha and came back to Likha and her friends. He also listened to Likha's story until he burst out laughing. Then Sis Ida immediately went to report to the person in charge of the hostel that Likha had returned safely. Kak Ida also told kak Ba'ih and Riyanto and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go to class! It's almost late." Dina invited everyone to immediately enter their class.
"Come on ... I also have to meet Keenand soon, Ida said earlier that Keenand is very worried about me." Likha then immediately went to their class followed by Iren, Niken, Dina, and Alicia. When Likha and her four friends appeared in class, Keenand immediately ran over to Likha and hugged her tightly. Likha and her four friends were surprised by Keenand's attitude. They immediately realized Keenand that they were in class right now. Keenand let go of his hug and apologized to Likha.
"Likha, I'm sorry! Do you know? I was very worried about you. Last night Sis Ba'ih and I looked for you until we explored the vast rubber plantation but we didn't find you. We were very worried, thank goodness you came back safely even though your forehead was lumpy as big as a meatball. " Hearing the words of Keenand, Likha, Iren, Niken, Alicia, and Dina burst out laughing. Keenand also told Likha that later he would accompany him to meet a student who was a special invitation to a friendly match which would be held in three days. This student is an exemplary student with extraordinary achievements. He is an architect, mountaineer, activist, academic and motivational speaker.
His name is Muhammad Abdullah Azzam, who was invited to motivate his younger siblings at this school. His face is famous for being very handsome, but he is very arrogant and somewhat arrogant. He rarely talked to his friends. Besides only having a few friends, he is also a very perfectionist. Especially towards a woman, he was always cold and indifferent. That's why Ba'ih asked Keenand to accompany Likha later. They are afraid that yesterday's incident when Likha got lost would repeat itself.
"Okay, Keenand. Come on now let's sit down, lessons are about to start." Likha took Keenand's hand. The two of them then sat quietly listening to the teacher explain to them all about today's subject.
During a break, Keenand immediately pulled Likha's hand towards the health room. Keenand immediately compressed the lump on her forehead with ice cubes that he had bought in the canteen. Keenand also bought Likha food. They both eat in the health room.
"Thank you very much, Keen, you are indeed my best friend. Even though we haven't known for long, you really care about me." Likha held Keenand's hand tightly as she thanked him.
"Likha, I loved you very much since I met you. Somehow, when I saw you I wanted to always protect you and make you smile. When we come home from school I feel my heart is empty because you are not near me and I always look forward to tomorrow when I can see you again. , that's why when I heard you lost I was very worried. I was very sorry that I could not accompany you at that time, even last night I couldn't sleep at all because I thought about you. " Keenand seemed to be telling the truth because Likha saw the dark circles under Keenand's eyes.
"Keen, thank you once again. You really care for me, but I hope your love for me is only limited to love for a friend, yes Keen! I don't want you and I to get involved in another relationship. Especially a love relationship. I also love you Keen, but My love for you only loves for friends. " Hearing Likha's words, Keenand became somewhat disappointed because Keenand had actually fallen in love with Likha.
"But why can't I love you Likha? I really fell in love with you the first time I saw you and I wanted to always be by your side." Keenand tried to convince Likha, but the beautiful girl smiled at Keenand.
"Keen, I don't want us to hurt each other later. I want our relationship to stay like this forever. We love and care for each other. We will also always be together. You know Keen? The distance between love and hate is very thin. When we love, we must be sure. we will be happy, but we also cannot guarantee that we will be forever happy. We are still too young to have a love relationship. And when there is a problem, we will hate each other, and at that time, between us will definitely hurt each other, I don't want to. it happened.
"You understand, right Keen? I also really love you, but I can't love you because I'm afraid we will hurt each other. Right now, let our relationship stay like this. I'll be your best friend, okay?" Likha and Keenand were silent at each other, Keenand confirmed Likha's thinking. He will love Likha as his best friend. At least, Likha will always be by his side today. If he insisted, Keenand was afraid that Likha would even go away.
"Okay, Likha, I will follow your wishes. In the future, if we are destined to be mates, you cannot reject me again, OK?" Keenand hugged Likha and stroked her head, Likha returned Keenand's hug and immediately let him go. They are in the health room now, Likha is afraid that someone will see and will misunderstand.
"Thank you again, Keen! Let's go back to class. I'm fine." Likha and Keenand immediately returned to their class, Iren, Niken, Alicia, and Dina have also returned. They chatted for a while and then returned to their seats when the teacher who taught them had arrived.
