While in the middle of the lesson Akio deliberately raised his hand and asked for permission for Alma.
" I'm sorry Buguru, Alma said if her stomach hurts, can I take her to UKS?".
Alma, who is still confused and does not know Akio's plan, is now stared at by all the class residents.
" May, of course I can. Directly take the medicine, ask the nurse in the UKS, let her stomach pain heal quickly", Master of course gave permission easily, for outstanding students, not following the lesson no problem, no problem, most importantly, the result must be perfect.
Akio stood up and looked at Alma, as if he were guiding someone who was sick. Alma's lethargic face and black circumference under her eyes due to lack of sleep last night, increasingly supportive and make the teacher's book believe that Alma is sick.
" We'll excuse you, ma'am", said Alma while nodding her head as she passed the teacher's desk. I heard whispers in that class.
~ Looks like the two of them really have a special relationship ~
~ See how Akio is so considerate of Alma, wah Alma very lucky ~
~ Genius girls are indeed the same match of genius men, it is impossible to want to be the same you who usually just cheat ~
~ Maybe Alma is less rest because it continues to learn, so now it hurts ~
And there are still many other whispers heard in the class, making the classroom atmosphere becomes rowdy.
" May you all be quiet !".
" Why did this class suddenly become crowded like in the market?", The teacher who was taking notes on the blackboard smacked the handle of the marker onto the blackboard so that everyone stopped gossiping, and refocused. The class went back to silence.
\=\=
" You're all there, suddenly ask permission from the teacher, without telling me first. It was fortunate that I thought fast" Alma hit Akio's arm that was embracing his body.
Instead of being angry, Akio chuckled.
" You said last night you only slept 4 hours because of me, so I look for an excuse so you can go to the UKS and take a nap for a while, at least it will make you fresher and not lethargic continue, he said, I've noticed since morning your face is pale".
" Especially later afternoon after school we go directly to the Regent's official house, surely you will not be able to take a nap because maybe the event will be until the afternoon. So now you sleep in the UKS, take vitamins so as to wake up your body so fresh".
Alma was touched by the attention Akio gave her. Alma is the luckiest girl in the whole world.
Akio still memapah Alma until entering the UKS room, there is a nurse there.
Akio asks for stomach pain medication and vitamin C on the nurse, then leads Alma into one of the beds that are deliberately provided for sick students.
Akio swiftly feed the vitamin to Alma, while the stomach pain medication in his pocket to be thrown in the trash when out later.
" You sleep well for an hour or two, hopefully when you wake up your body will be fresher".
" I'll go back to class and take lessons, I'll make you a notebook, so you can learn the material taught by the teacher later".
Akio rubbed Alma's hair and kissed her forehead.
" Thank you A.., you are the most understanding", Alma smiled at Akio's departure from the UKS. Then she flung her body to rest.
Just closing her eyes, Alma felt her bedding sway, then someone touched her hand. Makes Alma reflexively pull her hand that was placed next to the pillow.
With a heavy heart, Alma opened her eyes, there was no one beside the bed, Alma also slowly pulled the curtain that became a barrier to the next bed. Indeed, in the UKS room there are three beds for patient rest, and each bed is blocked using green plastic curtains.
A boy of his age, sitting on a UKS bed, looked at him with a big smile and greeted him.
" Hi Al ".
Alma frowned.
" Bagas!, you are here, are you sick?", Bagas again smiled wryly while nodding.
Bagas fainted during the ceremony, and was taken to the UKS, but he did not want Alma to know if he fainted, it would make an impression if he was a weak man.
" You are sick too Al?", Bagas deliberately asked Alma's condition so as not to continue discussing him.
Alma shook her head, then nodded.
But Alma could still hear Bagas' voice from behind the curtain
" Congratulations on your success in winning the gold medal".
" Maybe I was too petty about you and Akio at first, I didn't think that you would be champions at the National Science Olympiad".
" Are you guys officially dating?, I heard Akio's voice earlier, he was very attentive to you, well..Just to you, I knew it from the beginning to see you guys. His eyes never turn, just staring at you".
Alma heard all the words of Bagas, only he did not want to give any response, the goal came to the UKS not to clarify his status. Except for a short nap.
That's why Alma remained silent, and closed his eyes, so that Bagas thought he was asleep. Alma heard the sound of the curtains being slowly drawn. Alma was sure Bagas was curious and wanted to hear the answer, but Alma kept his eyes closed.
" Well, you're asleep, but I want to talk to you a lot".
Bagas was still staring at the clingy Alma. His mind goes back to the day he first met Alma, in his class.
That day when he came home from school, the BMW X series car stopped his ninja motorbike. And it turns out that the one who got out of the car was Akio, Akio purposely met him just to say a sentence that Bagas would never forget.
" I'm just saying, Alma is mine, and I don't like it when anyone else wants mine".
Akio re-entered the car and left Bagas who was just grimacing.
Though at that time Bagas only acquainted with Alma, interested yes, but not to like or have a crush. But since that day, Bagas just kept thinking Akio's words. And I'm getting curious about Alma.
As they follow the science olympics at the Blue campus, Bagas keeps a close eye on Alma, and gets more interested in her when daylight is announced if the two Pelita Jaya High School candidates who qualify are Alma and Akio.
Bagas who was originally only interested in Alma naturally a young man who was interested in beautiful girls. Now more curious because it turns out the girl is also a genius.
But when he noticed Alma, almost every time he was watched by Akio. Alma may not know, but Bagas knows that Akio is always watching him.
And right now, when there's time to ask Alma directly for clarity about her relationship with Akio. Alma was reluctant to discuss his personal problems.
Of course Alma is reluctant, who Bagas is and what their relationship is, Alma just feels they know each other and have been representatives of the school together as competition participants. That'sthat's all.
But unfortunately Bagas now has another feeling that grows deeper and deeper, just because it feels interested initially and the more curious next, now it is precisely Bagas feels hurt every time he sees Akio and Alma together.
In silence Bagas continued to look at the face of Alma who was asleep in his sleep. He accidentally opened the sealing curtain that became their bed separator .
Almost an hour long Alma slept, during that time Bagas also continued to look at him closely.
Bagas already knew the background of Alma who was an orphan, in also looking for information about his family, even had met with his upperclassman named Zayn, his father who had been close to Maemunah, and even had a chance to get acquainted with his upperclassman named Zayn, mother Alma.
But his guts grow shrill as he finds out about Akio. His family background is kept secret, such as a son of blue blood, an influential person, or an important official whose information about his family is difficult to obtain.
Bagas only obtained Akio's home address information, and several types of luxury cars were often used to take him to school. It was a very expensive car, and the house of Akio, the magnificent house was located in a luxurious mansion area that not just anyone could enter except those who lived in the mansion.
Maybe Akio is the son of an influential person and from his wealthy exit. It feels like to approach Alma but minder first know the background of his rival.
Akio immediately misbehaved as Alma suddenly opened her eyes.
" Have you not rested from earlier?, or been healed?, if so why didn't you go back to class?, huaaahmm....", Alma covered her mouth that was yawning, and sit down while stretching his body.
At this time the drowsiness, fatigue, and lethargy, which Alma felt since morning had disappeared, his body felt more fresh and excited.
Alma took the phone out of her pocket, and staring at the phone screen, at 11pm, that meant Alma had been sleeping in the UKS for an hour.
" I'm feeling better now, so I'm back in class first huh". Alma is reluctant to linger in the UKS with men who from the beginning he slept until now continue to look at him. Makes Alma uncomfortable and careless.
" But Al, I want to ask you something, is it okay?", Alma looked because she had walked out of the UKS.
" What?", asked Alma briefly as she rubbed her eyes.
" You and Akio?, you guys are dating?", Bagas was straight to the point, for fear of not getting another chance to ask.
Alma immediately nodded, "yes, it's true we're dating", Alma again continued her journey out of the UKS, towards her class.
