One Day With Jerry

Hello reader,

Entri kali ini adalah tugas cerpen pelajaran bahasa inggris waktu masih duduk di kelas 1 SMA beberapa tahun lalu. Lucu aja ceritanya makanya di post kesini. Maaf kalau banyak kalimat-kalimat yang salah menterjemahkan dan tata bahasa yang kurang tepat. It just because aku gak pandai berbahasa inggris yang baik dan benar ._.

Konon, cerita ini tuh, menurut ingatan si penulis (yang kebetulan aku sendiri -_-) adalah kisah nyata yang dimana si penulis falling in love dengan teman sekelasnya waktu itu tapi udah lupa falling in love nya itu sama siapa. Mohon maklum aja karena si penulis ini udah stadium 4 sakit pikunnya. Mari sama-sama kita memanggilnya dengan sebutan...Mrs. Pelupa.

“Oke my friends. Silent please. Today, our mathematics teacher Mr. Jarwo can’t come because he is sick. But, he leave a assignment. Work the exercise page 73”, said Amir, our chairman.

“Huuh, exercise exercise and axercise again. Whereas I want tell to you about my new boyfriend, Jo”, said Andin my best friend with proud.

“What?!! Your boyfriend?? In my memory, yesterday you just finished with…ee…what is his name?”, I replied while doing the exercise.

“Oh Tomy, I boring with him. By the way, are you still love Jerry? Want you to tell it to Jerry?”.

“Sssstt…. keep your voice. Maybe someday I will say it. Now let’s made the exercise”.

15 minutes later.

“Jo?”Jerry called me.

“Yes!?”

“Number 4 what method you use?”

“Method number 2 which Mr. said yesterday”

I amazed why Jerry asked with me. Whereas I not also can in mathematics and it’s the first time he said to me.

In rest time

“Come on we go to canteen. Capcus cyiiin, I'm very hungry”, said Andin

“Wait a minute”, I replied

“Want to go to the canteen with me, Jo?”, Jerry came with a smiled face for me.

“Sorry but, I will with Andin”

“Oh no problem Jo. Today I’m full”

“Are you sure? You say you are very hungry”

“1 minutes ago I hungry but now I’m full”

“Come on Jo, bye Ndin”, Jerry attracted my hand.

“Have fun ya, Jo”, shouted Andin when I and Jerry started to leave the class.

In the canteen

“What do you want?”

“Just same with you”

“Wait me”

“Ok”

A few minutes later, Jerry came with 2 bowl of mie and orange juice in her hand

“Please”

“Thank you so much”

“Emm, Jo,  would I ask you something?”

“Sure. What?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

Hah??!! I so surprised. Am I dreaming now? Are Jerry like me? Are Jerry would express his feeling now? A thousand question while need answers flashed in my brain.

“Emm, not yet. Why?”

“That’s good”, said Jerry with small voice.

“Sorry, what do you say? I don’t hear.

“Oh, nothing. Come on we continue our food”

After that. Teng..teng…teng… the bell is ringing marked rest time is up. We immediately go to class, because the next lesson is the lesson Mr. Jontor, the most fierce teacher.

In the class.

“Ok student. Today we will held experiment in laboratory. 1 goup 2 people. It’s up to you want to pair with whom. I waiting you in the lab”

“Jo, want you one group with me?”

“Sorry Jer, but I with Andin”

“Don’t worry about me. I can with others”, said Andin

“Thanks Andin. I will keep your best friend”, Jerry assured.

In the chemistry laboratory.

“….enter the green liquid and mix with some’s alcohol. Let’s do it now”.

When I wanted to take the liquid, Jerry also wanted to take a bottle so we hold it coincide. I immediately release my hand from the bottle before someone saw it. Jerry is smart in this lesson. During the practicum he always taught me.

Finally, time is up. Let’s go to home.

At the scool gate

“Jo, your home at the intersectional there, right?”, Jerry asked.

“Yes”, I replied.

“Want go to home with me?”

“Not to cause bother you?”

“Of course not”

Maybe today is my lucky or causes I used a necklace handed down from my grandmother, today Jerry is different than usual. He was so kind and care with me.

In the afternoon in my home

Drrt drrt, drrt drrt, my phone is tremble. No name who called there.

“Halo, Jo speaking”

“Halo Jo, I’m Jerry. Are you busy now?”

WOOOW…MOMMY…JERRY CALLED ME!!! I run out of the house and shouted. Back to the phone……

“Oh no, why?”

“Could you come in the garden now?”

“Now? For what?”

“You can see later, bye”

“Oke, bye Jer”

When phone is closed, I immediately to ready. As any there less. Hem..what else yah?! O iya parfume. Srrt srrt srrt, so fragrant. Let’s go. I’m coming Jerry

In the garden

“Rehan??! Why you in here?”

“Waiting you, Jo”

“What? Sorry but I already promise with Jerry, your cousin.”

“I asking to Jerry to call you to come here”

“So, why you want I come here?”

“I want say….”

“Yea? You want say what?”

“ I just wan to say.. I love you. I love you, Jo”

Gubrak. Why even  Rehan who shooted me. Why not  Jerry.

“Sorry Han, but…”

“I loving you since the first time we meet but only now I brave to expressing my feeling. It causes Jerry. He force me to said it now”

“Where is Jerry now?”

“He go to Amerika”

“AMERIKA?? When and why?”

“Half an hour ago”

“I must follow him”

“What about me here, Jo?”

“I’m sorry Han”

I run to the airport. When in the airport I still not find Jerry. I asked to security and then I saw Jerry walking to the plane want departed.

“Jerry….wait me”, I called him.

“Jo? Why you in here? You must to go to the garden with Rehan”

“Why you go to Amerika? Are you will back to Indonesia? Why you want I meet with Rehan? Are you don’t felt my feeling for you? Why you so kind to me? You know Jer, I love you, I love you Jer”, I said with cried.

“Jo, you can’t love me! Sorry, if my goodness it makes you think so much. I doing that because Rehan request me. He want to make sure that you don’t have a boyfriend so he can say his feeling to you. Rehan also want me to accompany you today because today is my last day in Indonesia. I not back to Indonesia again. I’m so so sorry Jo. I don’t love you”.

Plak plak plak, like as slapped by Mr. Jontor. It’s so hurt. Jerry refuse my love. My tears fall down in my eyes like a swift rain. My body so weak. Not care what the people see to me, I still and straight crying.

THE END
