SCHNUCKY
GIRL IN MEMORIES

Arya was really shocked when Kamala mentioned that name. The man suddenly turned around.

"Where do you know?!" erang Aryan's.

"You call it once." replied Kamala who then got up and stepped closer to Arya who was still staring at the door.

"Who's Schnucky? Is that...the woman's name?" ask Kamala gently.

Arya was still silent and Kamala was not forced either. The woman just silently looked at Arya while folding her hands in the chest. Arya finally sighed and lowered her head. Long time he stood in that position.

"Sir Aryan.." - Kamala.

Arya then turned her face, looking at Kamala with a squeaking look.

"You really want to know?" ask the man.

"That's part of my job." replied Kamala. "How can I answer your problem? How can I provide the best alternative solution among the good if you yourself lock the space for me?" revealed.

Arya again sighed and looked at the ceiling of the room. It seems that he does indeed hold a very heavy burden and is able to silence the mouth of an Aryan.

Kamala touched the man's arm and then gestured for Arya to return to the long chair. Arya sighed for a moment.

"Can the day after tomorrow, we have a reunion?" Aryan pinta.

Kamala stared at the old man. Finally he nodded and Arya was finally able to open that door and step out.

Kamala just stood in front of the gaping door, neither chasing nor stepping back into place. The woman just stood up and hid her hands on her hips.

...*****...

That night, Arya chose not to eat dinner. He immediately locked himself in the room. His mother asked Bik Nay several times, the housekeeper came to Arya's room and knocked on her.

Arya did come out just bend her head and told Bik Nay that she did not feel hungry. The housekeeper nodded politely and turned around to leave the place.

Arya closed the door and stepped back to the bed and sat on the side of the couch. He sat down leaning his elbows on both knees. His gaze was directed to the floor.

The memories flashed again.

Schnucky's...

That's the name he gave to a girl. It will become a big regret for him and affect his life to this day.

His treatment to the girl made him undergo a huge change in his life steps. On the other hand, he was grateful for it but on the other hand, his guilt would not be erased just like that.

The girl's absence makes it difficult for her to make a confession that she truly regrets her actions which most likely have ruined the girl's future.

Schnucky's not his real name.

I don't know why he put that name on the girl. Perhaps driven by the sensation of feeling his body in a futile act only to prove something that turns out in the future is regretted so much.

Arya turned her face and straightened her body then laid her back on the soft bed. His gaze looked back at the ceiling of the room.

"Schnucky.. Where are you now?" muttered Arya sighing.

Unconsciously his gaze was hot and a few moments later two floating tears fell into the wall of the eyelid and flowed across the cheek part of his jaw.

Arya does not understand why the memory of the girl appears again, since the death of her best friend. Rudi, either maybe also driven by his guilt, re-bringing the past that he wants to really forget.

Since then he has been struck by the terror of a terrible dream about the girl who came to hold him accountable. In the room, the memories of the girl were recalled again.

Schnucky's real name is Siti Muzdalifah Bakhtiar. He did not pin the clan behind his name, whether it might be his father's name.

When Muzdalifah attended the educational institution, Arya was already sitting on the bench of class XII IPA-1. The girl is a family child less capable and physically or behaviorally, is not someone who can publish the passion of a man.

Throughout her knowledge indirectly, Arya learned that Muzdalifah is a quiet girl, not too beautiful, but also not said to be ugly.

All students who attended the school were children of the gedongan and at least the bourgeoisie or children of the elite, except Muzdalifah.

Muzdalifah entered the school with a scholarship program and was supported morally and materially by Mr. Basyir T. Laiya, the principal of the school.

According to reports, Mr. Basyir was a friend of the girl's mother. The death of the mother, made Pqk Basyir pity and decided to bear all the costs of Muzdalifah's education at the school.

Three months have passed...

I don't know where the bad stuff came from. Issues about Muzdalifah which is said to be a sugar baby from Pak Basyir. Almost all the students at the school were gossiping about him, just because Mr. Basyir seemed too good to Muzdalifah.

The issue should be a gossip. Because all the needs of Muzdalifah were met by Pak Basyir. The amount is not kidding, because all students know how expensive the cost of education at school is. The reason for Mr. Basyir's proximity to the mother of Muzdalifah was starting to make no sense.

Muzdalifah does not interact with his classmates especially students in general. His behavior only further adds to the suspicion of students throughout the school.

There was only one person besides Mr. Basyir who always treated Muzdalifah well. Is Kartini's mother, the owner of the school canteen that always entrusted her snacks to be sold in the bagin.

It seems that Kartini's mother knew that the students of the school gossiped Muzdalifah until she never told anyone about Muzdalifah's snacks that were favored by them. It is in the common interest, he said.

Of course Muzdalifah's familiarity with Ms. Kartini is considered by the students as camouflage to disguise Muzdalifah's friendly relationship with Mr. Basyir.

Arya closed her eyes and the tears flooded.

"Ahhhhh.... Schnucky... Where are you now?" sigh Arya with a wavy.

Without feeling it, the memories of those ten years flashed again.[]
