Chapter II : What Day Is Today ?

Hee-gun had two months is fighting to save the money for the bus fee. And today also, he can sit with her new friends ( behind her^^ )

But even has passed 2 month, they still not a real friend anyway, because during the time Hee-gun just to say hello. So he did not know who this girl's name. Hee-gun usually only ride the bus and sat near to her. There is rarely a conversation, the only fitting Hi and Bye when getting on or off the bus.

Seems there are other reasons why Hee-gun not talking to him. Something that makes Hee-gun thought better no to talk to the girl.

After passing through one stop, the bus which was travelling by Hee-gun was stopped at another stop. There were several people who sat behind the bus had reached their destination, and they rose from their seats and straight down to the bus stair. While the situation in front of the bus is little complicated because people who rode the bus at this stop is more crowded than the stop before.

There was seen a boy wearing a white uniform who wrapped her slim body, while the usual short hair neatly combed. That boy is kind of cutes and also looked like a good, polite and tidy boy.

This little boy walked toward the girl and smiled at her. 

This boy is a friend of the girl.
"Hi. Have you done your home work ?" asked the little boy.
"Of course I have, uhm yesterday where were you going?"
"Yesterday I went to the river with my daddy" replied the boy happily.
"Oh yeah ?" replied the girl, seemed very interested to hear his story.

They sat together and spoke like a child normally. And here's why Hee-gun is not asked her to speak, because he feel less well-spoken and fear he will interrupt their conversation, so every time he only saw both of them from behind while they're talking. Even so, every week Hee-gun still saves money and rides the same bus with the girl, hoping someday he can talking to the girl.

More than talking to her, he wanted the most is to ask her name. Because for a few weeks he sat behind them. They never bring up the conversation about something that should call each of their names. And Hee-gun was trying to overhear their conversation very hard that also not to get caught, but until now he still do not know the name of the girl.

So sad :(

Today it seems Hee-gun still can not get the information he wants, he had to wait next week again to try to talk and ask her name.

But the boy who was in front of him suddenly stood up and ran toward the bus driver and talked with the bus driver. Not long after that the bus stopped at one stop. The boy was walking back to his seat.

"I have to go back to grab my book" said the boy.
"Yeah be careful on the road" replied the girl.
"Yes. You too" the boy replied while running to leave her friend alone.

The girl looked at her friend who run panickedly to return to his home to take the books he had left it behind. She is worried if her friend can be on time back to school or not.

But on the other hand, there is someone who see this as an opportunity. Hee-gun overheard their conversation of them earlier. He was trying to talk with the girl pretended to be asking what happened.

"Ehmm.. What happened to your friend?" Hee-gun asked pretending knowing nothing.
"He said his book left at home, so he wanted to go home to take it" replied the girl looked worried.
"Oh .. Ehmm .." Hee-gun still seem hesitant to ask his name and don't know how to begin with. The girl still staring at her friend ran, even though the bus had already left the bus stop.

"Ehmmm.. I.. I.." Hee-gun sound is still very low because he still shy to say it and hard to hear as there is machine sound. But that girl is not pay attention when Hee-gun talking to her. She was thinking about her friend which now must be still on the road to go home.

Hee-gun who still hesitant to ask the name of the girl did not notice that the bus will arrive at the girl destination soon. The girl began to get ready to come down.
Hee-gun who realized too late, made up his mind with a little daring him to call the girl.

"Wa.. Wait a minute" Hee-gun call.
"Yes .. what is it?" the girl was looking into Hee-gun who called her. She looked into Hee-gun eyes with plain and curiosity .
"I.. I have something to ask!"
"Ehmm.. Ok what is it ?" the girl replied with innocently and still staring into the face of Hee-gun.

Hee-gun are stared by the girl become more difficult to say it. But in the Hee-gun mind, he has made up his mind, "I have to ask her name.. I have to ask her name.." he repeated those words in his mind.

"I.." but before Hee-gun say what he want to say, the bus suddenly stopped.
"Ehmm.. I got to go now.. i'm afra.... ".
"But i.. " Hee-gun interrupting the girl.
"..." the little girl was surprised when hee-gun interrupted who cut her words so do not know what can she say.

This time Hee-gun almost able to say it, in his heart he kept recurring words "I have to ask her name.. I have to ask her name.."

"I was wondering .. What .. What .." 
"......?"
"What.. What Day Is Today?"
 
...........

They freezed and stared at each other. The sound of bell was clinking which indicated the door was going to be closed. The girl realized that she must leave now. Hastily she walked towards the door that will closed shortly. But before the girl was dropped, she looked back for a moment, looking towards where Hee-gun stand.

"It's Monday .. I hope your day beautiful" shout the girl towards Hee-gun, while waving her hand and smiled to Hee-gun then walked down the bus..

Hee-gun waved back too. "Its Monday .. Well its monday" Hee-gun muttered to himself.

The door has been closed and the bus has been left.

Hee-gun sat alone, sitting in the back of the bus. Kept thinking about what just happened. He keep talks to himself and repeating like a robot "What i asked her ? What i asked her ?"

While Hee-gun still muttering, suddenly the bus shook. He saw that everyone was screaming, he did not know what happened and what should he do. He also shouted "Wh .. What happened ? Hel.. Helpp.."
