I bit my lip anxiously, my hand kept checking the contents of my bag, looking for the History assignment book to be collected, I patted my forehead when I couldn't find it, it must have been my work book left at home.
"For those who don't do chores please stand outside, don't follow my lesson hours until the break," Mr. Tio said, making me squeeze my skirt anxiously.
"Ca," I turned a little shocked toward my side when Keith patted me on the shoulder slowly.
"Huh?"
"You're not doing the job?" asked Keith as he held his duty book preparing to hand over his duties to Mr. Tio.
I ducked down, then shook, "it looks like my work book is left at home." Keith looked a little shocked, and he quickly put his book back in the bag to make me sing in wonder.
"Sir, I'm not doing the job" says Keith.
Mr. Tio seemed surprised to hear Keith's statement. Because Keith is an impossible student when not doing chores, Keith's image at school is as a
As promised I made with Keith. After school I went straight to Keith's house, but as usual, Keith and I stopped by the food court, bought potato sausage and bubble tea. Keith and I chose to eat there first, but we didn't forget I also bought food for Keith's mother.After eating, Keith and I went back to Keith's house, but I asked Keith to find a mosque for me to pray asr. I asked Keith to wait a while on the terrace of the mosque, after the new prayer me and Keith continued their journey to his house.I took my helmet off, then put it on Keith's bike seat. Keith took off his jacket as he led the driveway into his home. I straightened my hair and wore it for a while before I met Keith's mother."Mom?" called Keith, before long the middle-aged woman came out with an apron attached to her body. Maybe he's done cooking."Hello Mrs. Julianna" greeted me while wrapping her hand, not forgetting also I put on the face as friendly as possible.Mrs. J
"You must have thought Keith's mother agreed with your and Keith's relationship, but didn't you?"I'm speechless, justifying Jeno's remarks with a slow nod. I ducked, embarrassed. Even Jeno can guess correctly without me telling him."That's the risk you get if you put hope in someone, because not all your expectations come true," Jeno said while stroking my hair.I murmured in my heart, why Jeno's response was so bad, annoying! He was supposed to calm me down a little bit, but it got me cornered."It's not just Mrs. Julianna who says that, Mom and Dad will also say so," Jeno said again.I looked up, looking at Jeno without flowers, "Including you?" I asked.Jeno rubbed his lips, he ducked and nodded vaguely.I sighed long, it was time I realized, that stopping loving Keith was indeed the best way. No one supports this relationship. I've had enough of denying dad's words. Now it's time for me to wake up and chan
"Why did you come with Jeffry?" asked Keith when I was cutting apples for him.I turned around to Keith, continuing to cut the fruit while answering the question, "Because Javier won't take me, Javier wants to play ball," I replied, after cutting the apple into pieces I immediately gave it to Keith, but didn't forget I took one piece for me to eat too.Keith ate an apple that I had poton, he fell silent finishing the chewing of his apples in his mouth."I don't see your mother, where is she?" I asked because I hadn't seen keith's mother."My mom and dad are going to Bandung, tomorrow my cousin is married," keith replied while putting the plate empty, Keith spent all his apple pieces in just a few minutes. I'm even just one piece."You're not coming with them? Are you alone at home?" I asked.Keith turned to me, and then he chuckled, "then do I have to go in this condition?" and Keith made me let out a stup
"I'm sorry," I said as I approached Jeno who was sitting on the balcony terrace of his room. His eyes were looking straight ahead without doing anything, as if he were thinking of something. When Jeno turned to me, Jeno's forehead wrinkled, he must have thought about the problem. Jeno's face is visibly depressed and frustrated. I know, it must have been hard for Jeno, but he never complained or said anything that hurt his heart. Jeno is a very tough older brother. He never wanted to be seen falling in front of his younger siblings even though he was actually really fragile."Hi, Ca." Jeno's face immediately turned bright as soon as I saw my arrival. Very contrasting changes. He's very good at arranging the look on his face.I stepped closer to Jeno, looking at Jeno with a look of regret, "I'm sorry, Je.""Sorry for what? You don't have to apologize." Jeno immediately stood up, his hands immediately rubbed my cheeks then he smiled softly. He's n
"Ju, please take me to Keith's house."Keith's been out of school for two days, and since it's a day off, I'm planning to visit Keith's house. Let's hope Juno's willing to take me.Juno who was focusing on his laptop turned to me, "When?" he asked, I walked closer to Juno, then sat on juno's bedside. While Juno was sitting on a couch not far from me."Now" I replied. Juno glanced at the watch that was coiled around his wrist. Then Juno shut down his laptop."Wait a minute, let me take a shower first," Juno said then got up and walked to the bathroom.I breathed a short breath, I knew juno must not have bathed. Inevitably I'll have to wait for him to finish taking a shower.Juno disappeared on the bathroom door, and I immediately laid my body on his bed. Staring at the roof of Juno's room with an empty mind. I don't know, I do daydream so much without realizing it."Caaaa" Javier's voice calls me. Ap
"I think Keith does love you. Because if Keith loved Frisly they should have been dating a long time ago, but until now they're still friends. While Keith has already expressed his feelings for you."Jesya is silent digesting Hanin's words. It's been almost an hour since they talked about Keith eating the doughnuts and starsbucks jeno bought him. Hanin has known Jesya since Jesya was a child, but only this time Jesya told him about men. You could say Keith was Jesya's first love."But they were very close, sometimes Keith treated Frisly more gently than he did to me." Jesya still thinks badly about Keith and Frisly. There have been many moments of Keith and Frisly that make Jesya think that Keith loves Frisly."That's because they've been friends for a long time," Hanin said. "But, why did you refuse to be Keith's girlfriend" Hanin asks, she still doesn't expect it when Jesya says that she rejected Keith when Keith asked her to be his girlfrien

Juno PovAlesha is sitting in front of me right now. His lips kept smiling, his eyes welling up at me, as if nothing had happened to our relationship."There's something I want to talk to you about," I said breaking the silence.Alesha didn't answer what I said, she nodded as she looked at me waiting for what I was next to say."You're not tired of the relationship we're having?" I said, making Alesha's forehead shrivel, she shook."I'm tired," I continued."You mean?" asked Alesha after controlling herself to look ordinary."I'm tired of holding everything back, our relationship is no longer worth maintaining."Alesha sighed, "My mistake back then--" She began to realize her mistake."When is it? The mistake you made wasn't just that day?" said alesha. For whatever sake, this is the first time I've spoken in a stern tone to Alesha.'Bryce and I don't have anything to do with it. We're ju
A few years later... Arjeno believes in destiny that controls his life. Whatever he received and lost from him was already the will of the time of power. Like, have Hanin. Running a long distance relationship for three years, is not an easy thing. There are many obstacles that Hanin and Arjeno found halfway through. Misunderstandings, longing, and jealousy. And Arjeno swears, among the three things, longing is the most excruciating thing. But gradually, they have a way to find a way out of every problem that comes. Whether Arjeno or Hanin relented, they always learned not to put forward a sense of ego. Arjeno stared at the reflection of himself in front of the mirror, his sturdy body wrapped in a black tuxedo complete with a bow tie coiled around the collar. His hair was neatly arranged, his feet were wrapped in a pair of kinclong leather shoes. He really took care of the groom today. After going through a long journey in the process
"DADDY!!!" Raquel screamed in shock as soon as she saw the results of his haircut that became his own father's guinea pig. Meanwhile, Jhonny held back the laughter of seeing Raquel's hair that did not match his expectations. Raquel stomped his feet annoyed on the floor, his face already buckled between being irritated with Jhonny and holding back tears because his hair became an undirected mess. "I don't want to know, just give my hair back!" enraged Raquel as he rubbed his watery eyes. Staring unwillingly at his haircuts on the floor. Jhonny scratched his nape with a laugh that was not over yet. Raquel's haircut was so weird. "Dad!" cried Raquel because he was annoyed at Jhonny's reaction who laughed with satisfaction. "Give me my hair back!" added Raquel as he tugged at the T-shirt Jhonny was wearing. Jhonny put the comb and Clipper on the table then he grabbed Raquel's petite body and rubbed his son's shoulders, in fact Jho
"Do you know the substitute lecturer?" asked Marcus to Wilona. The girl who was currently dropping her head on the cafeteria table. Wilona was still embarrassed because during class she called Albert's name so loudly. Even more surprisingly, it turned out that Albert was a substitute lecturer at this campus.Wilona shook her head in disbelief. How could the man who lived one roof with her turn out to be a lecturer on her campus? "No, I don't know him." Wilona replied lying. After all, it is impossible to tell Marcus and Arjeno that she and Albert actually live on the same roof. Wilona doesn't want Marcus and Arjeno to think of her as an untrue woman because she lives one in the same house as a foreign man.Marcus nodded his head, trying to believe it even though the shock of Wilona's body and facial expressions were not so convincing. "Today our campus site is filled with photos of him. Many mentioned and became fans of Mr. Albert." Marcus as the most upd
"You went home last night?" "Hmm... I was afraid that the people in your house were asleep, so I went home." "Good." Arjeno retorted, making Marcus round his eyes. This afternoon they were having lunch in the campus cafeteria. Arjeno questioned Marcus who last night did not return home. That's a good thing because finally Arjeno again felt calm in his room, but strangely last night Arjeno was a little worried about Marcus who was out of nowhere. Fortunately this morning Arjeno was able to see firsthand the existence of Marcus who turned out to be fine. "Wilona!" Suddenly Marcus called Wilona in a loud voice. Making Arjeno spontaneously stare at the direction Marcus was looking at, there was Wilona who seemed to be looking for an empty table, in both hands of the girl was her lunch tray. "Come here!" asked Marcus to make Arjeno raise a pair of eyebrows. "Don't be pretentiously familiar! I am afraid that you will embarrass yourself!" Arjeno whis
"Arje said, this is called healing.""Healing?" Wilona repeated Marcus's remarks with a wrinkled forehead. Although they were on their way, but both ears could still catch what the interlocutor said. "Yes. Arje said he would do something like this if he was stressed. Around jakarta traffic, it turned out to be exciting too." Marcus said as he stared at the street in front of him. It was already starting at night, the streets were getting quieter and a feeling of relief always hit Marcus when he split jakarta traffic. Cool air, street lights that beautify the scenery. True. It's healing. The thoughts that gathered and became tangled threads on his head instantly disappeared. Marcus immediately forgot the problem that was befalling him."Marcus, can we stop for a while? I want to sit in that chair." Wilona asks Marcus to stop his bike when he sees an empty seat available by the side of the road. Marcus nodded, then pulled over his big mo
The smell of coffee and toast that came out this morning made Wilona wake up from her sleep. As if hypnotized, the woman walked straight out of the room with her eyes still open. Albert, who was sipping coffee while reading the newspaper in the pantry, immediately gasped and smiled broadly at Wilona who was only wearing an oversized t-shirt complete with her adorable waking face, but looked sexy in her eyes.Albert whistled, his eyes still staring at Wilona from top to bottom with a judging look."Wow, sexy," Albert said as he bit his lower lip tempted.Hearing the sound of other creatures, Wilona's forehead frowned, spontaneously her eyes opened wide and then shouted when she was conscious and found Albert who was looking at her with a look of wanting to pounce. Practically Wilona screamed and ran into the room. While Albert was panting again, he couldn't believe it saw Wilona's exaggerated response, the woman seemed to be exhausted from seeing astral cre
Wilona POVThe sunlight that penetrated the bedroom window made my hands spontaneously move blocking my eyes from the glare. I blinked for a while before finally straightening up. I sighed, my body felt crushed all after last night passed a fairly long journey from Bandung to Jakarta.I smiled faintly at the mini cactus tree located in front of the window. Two weeks of vacation in Bandung makes the feeling of longing for everything in this tiny flat become more and more. Fortunately, yesterday I decided to go home because the day after tomorrow I was back in college, it felt very good to enjoy the atmosphere in the morning in my restroom.I got out of bed, walked towards the Echinocactus grusonii cactus that I named Echi. "Morning, Echi." I said hello while throwing my first smile today. My hand moved grabbing the bottle next to the Echi pot and then spraying the water on my Echi."Mama loves breakfast, isn't it?" I muttered to the golden-spiked m
"Didn't you just move? But it seems that you are very familiar with your neighbors?" Nadeo asked as he sipped his fresh ice head and cooled his throat. Hanin, who was also sipping ice head while looking at the expanse of sea water, then turned her head at a glance to Nadeo, "My neighbor just moved... I don't know how we got... Near? Can it be called close?" A pair of Hanin eyebrows linked, asking about what Nadeo said. Can she and Jhonny be called close? They just met yesterday? And everything just flows, Hanin who is not good at socializing feels comfortable to talk to the adorable Jhonny and Raquel. Until finally... Hanin visits Jhonny's house only to see the man cooking?! Hanin was flabbergasted, without her noticing, she and Jhonny approached. Not as a woman and a man, but as a neighbor. That fast? "Of course, you visited his house. And before maybe you chatted until you forgot that you had made an appointment with us." Rylee responded. Made Hanin p
It turns out that Jhonny is an architect who is good at cooking. Jhonny didn't tell Hanin where his excellent cooking skills came from. But really, Jhonny's cooking is really good! "So, the chocolate cake that you made yesterday yourself?" Hanin gawked in disbelief at Jhonny who currently looked charming with an apron attached to his athletic body. "So you think I bought it?" Jhonny asked back, making Hanin nod his head innocently. Hanin is currently in Jhonny's kitchen. The man took Hanin to breakfast together even though they had eaten a sandwich but he said the sandwich was not enough to block his stomach until noon, so Hanin sat on the pantry chair looking at Jhonny who was busy with his weapon in the kitchen. "If I can make it myself, why should I buy it." retorted Jhonny. Hanin dropped his chin on the pantry, his eyes still glued to the astonishment towards Jhonny who was slicing leeks so quickly and painstakingly. In a matter
