(May) I Fall in Love
Aliens from the Planet Neptune



Today Haura permits to go home faster without taking part in any exculpatory activities. Haura deliberately asked permission from the school because she remembered her mother who was sick alone at home. Although there are Bi Siti and Bi Nur who are willing to take care of his mother, Haura still feels very hesitant if she has to trouble others to serve her sick mother.


In addition to the work of Bi Siti and Bi Nur which is more and more because his mother is sick makes Haura more feel bad if she leaves her mother for too long. Although actually Bi Siti and Bi Nur did not feel bothered at all. The ARTs at Sander's residence help each other. So there's no such thing as envy each other or anything like that. In that house they were together to connect their lives. Therefore they help each other if there is one of them who gets into trouble.


“Why do you leave early?” adel asked when accompanying Haura to ask permission for the teacher to go home earlier than usual.


“Mother I'm sick. I was worried if I had to leave Mom alone for too long.”


“What pain? Cough?” Adel looks so surprised to hear that his best friend's mother is sick.


“Fever free, Del. Maybe because Mom is exhausted.”


“Would you take it to the hospital?”


“Not yet. But I bought medicine at the pharmacy. Mother's fever has dropped a little.”


“If there is anything you tell me or Luna yes, Ra. Don't hide everything from both of us.”


“Iya. If I need help, you must be the first person I'm asking for help. If so, I go home first, Del. Oya... told Luna that I went home first.”


“Sip... be careful yes, Ra,” Adel said as he waved his hand at Haura who was speeding up her steps towards the school gate.


*******


“Why are you home, son?” asked Bu Lastri who immediately sat her body on the bed when Haura entered her room. Unlike usual, today Haura came home much faster than usual.


“Haura permission to teacher to go home faster, Bu.”


“Why? Did something happen at school?” Bu Lastri's face depicted a look of apprehension staring at her daughter.


“Mother don't have to worry about it, everything is safe. Haura asks permission to go home quickly, so that she can take care of Mom.”


“You shouldn't have to..”.


“Now Haura wants Mom to fall asleep again because Haura wants to take lunch for Mom. Keep Mom taking medicine.” Bu Lastri said, Haura has cut off her mother's words. Because Haura was very sure, that the words that her mother would say contained a protest of her decision to go home early because she wanted to take care of her sick mother.


“But, Ra...”


“There is no but-but-an ya my beautiful mother. Let this beautiful Mother's daughter take care of Mother with all her heart. Mother's job is to enjoy special services from Haura,” said Haura at length ended with a sweet smile to display both dimples on each side of her face.


“You're welcome, Ra.”


“Can dong. Haura..”.


Both mother and son laughed together.


Moment later, Miss Lastri realized that Haura had come home without wearing her school shirt. Just a school skirt and a jacket as his boss.


“Haura, why is your shirt like this, son?” asked Miss Lastri who had a panicked face. Afraid something might happen to Haura at school.


Haura looked at the clothes she was still wearing. He regretted his carelessness as to why not change his clothes first before greeting his mother.


“So Haura's school dress was wet when Haura was changing her gym uniform on the toilet. Haura borrowed Luna's hoodie. Than Haura in the wind. Better to be replaced with this, Haura” gave her mother an excuse for the same reason she gave Nevan a few hours ago.


Sorry, Madam. Haura is forced to lie, because Haura is forced to lie to her mother about the actual events she experienced at school.


“You're no longer lying to Mom, are you, Ra?” ask Miss Lastri again full of investigation.


Haura held both sides of her mother's face and smiled sweetly at her dear lady. “Mother, where dare Haura lie to Mom. Haura is afraid that she will be cursed so it will be more beautiful.”


“This you base. Could make Mom hang. I thought you wanted to talk.” Miss Lastri also pulled the tip of Haura's nose.


“Mother, Haura's nose not to be pulled. Later if it suddenly turns sharp like pinocchio will be a hassle.” Haura pretended to protest while pursing her lips.


“Ya nice dong. So count you can add a stick. From now on, it leads into.”


“Ahahahaha....” again they laugh because of trivial things.


“Udah, you change clothes first there.”


“OK, Bu.” Haura immediately headed to her room. While Miss Lastri did not stop smiling at the girl.


Haura chose to wear a long-sleeved shirt to cover the wound on her arm. After finishing changing clothes, Haura went straight to the kitchen to cook so that her mother could immediately eat and take medicine. Yes, in the pavilion that Haura occupied with her mother, there was always available groceries just in case sometimes the occupants of the pavilion were hungry in the middle of the night without having to return to the main house.


The teenage girl chose to cook on her own instead of going to the main house to grab lunch. Because he feels hesitant if he comes to take food without helping any work. Though in fact, no one disputes if Haura does that. But Haura was still embarrassed.


It didn't take long for Haura to finish her cooking. Because he only cooks vegetable soup and fries fish. After finishing cleaning the cookware and preparing food for his mother. Haura left the cooking area with a tray full of food on it.


“Ta-daaaa….. Haura is done cooking. Mom's time to eat.”


“You cooked by yourself, Ra? Why not take food in the main house?”


“Kan Haura has said, if Haura wants to provide maximum service for Mom. One of them is cooking lunch for Mom.”


“Aaaaa..” Pinta Haura to her mother. Miss Lastri opened her mouth without saying anything more.


Feed after mouth landed smoothly into Miss Lastri's mouth. Unwittingly it turns out that now the plate that was originally filled with a lot of rice and side dishes now the contents have been all toilet.


“Mother Haura cool, can run out of all her food,” said Haura as if her mother was like a toddler.


“Finally, you cooked it good. I'm addicted to it" said Bu Lastri.


“Hehehe. Next I take medicine.” With complete transparency Haura took one by one the drugs that must be consumed by her mother.


Now Miss Lastri has rested after she finished eating and taking medicine. Haura rubbed her mother's face gently. Then he put his lips on her face.


“Cheal fast yes, Mom. Haura dear Mother,” she said while holding back tears. If you can be honest, actually Haura was very sad when her mother was sick. But he did not want to show his sorrow in front of his mother.


For Haura, her mother was the most precious thing in her life. Because only Mom is her parents left at this time. Really Haura felt very worried that until her mother's illness got worse. But thank goodness now


bu Lastri's situation is getting better


“Mother also loves Haura.”


“Mother break, yes.” Haura's mother only nodded and a second later immediately closed her eyes as the effects of the medicine she was taking had begun to show her reaction.


After making sure his mother had flown to dreamland, Haura left her mother's room to clean her mother's dirty dishes and also filled her own stomach which had begun to sound roar.


Haura threw her body into her small-sized bed. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly.


One by one about the events since he met Nevan again after ten years had passed revolved like a film without advertising. Early on he was reunited with Nevan, Nevan's attention to himself to the events of today. The incident can be said to be the beginning of the problems that Haura will face in school.


Haura is very confident that Rhea will continue to harass her as long as she does not stay away from Nevan. But how can Haura stay away from Nevan if every day Nevan always forces herself to stick to the man.


“Nevan…. Nevan...” Haura continued to mention Nevan's name while muttering.


His heart rhythm returned to racing faster than usual when remembering the face of his handsome friend. It would be a lie to Haura to say that she doesn't like Nevan. Because since the exact same instant noodle incident a few days ago, Haura's heart has been beating fast every time she meets Nevan.


But as much as possible Haura suppressed her feelings. The dimpled girl always assured herself that she liked Nevan as her best friend no more. And not a little more. Castes. That was what Haura had always instilled in her mind. Their castes are different. There can be no love in his heart for Nevan.


A moment later Haura got up in a hurry to retrieve her smart phone. The teenage girl is looking for her best friend's contact list.


“Van, I've gone home first. Sorry for not telling you.”  Haura sends a message to Nevan through a chat app.


Stand off…. Haura's haandphone notification sounds.


(Why did you go home first? Did something happen? Are you sick?) Nevan.


“Gak. I'm doing fine. You don't have to worry. I came home early because I had to take care of my sick mother. Kasian Mom if I come home late afternoon.”


(Why didn't you tell me your mom was sick? We can go home together and I can also ask the driver at home to send your mother to the hospital.) Nevan.


“No need Van. Mother also was quiet. Mother's fever has gone down, so no need to take it to the hospital.”


Haura is completely inexhaustible with the mind of Nevan who likes to make decisions without compromising first.


(If you have come home. I'm home too.) Nevan


“What? Why are you also coming home?” reply Haura quickly. Haura's fingers danced nimbly on her smart phone keys.


(Why should I go to school?)


Whether it's talking in person or through messages, Nevan has always been the same. Instead of answering Haura's question, Nevan asked again.


“To learn. What else is it for?”


(Haura Annisa, as long as you know yes, I go to school from morning to evening not to study, but to take care of my dwarf, which is you. Understood?) Nevan.


Reading the message Nevan just sent to Haura made the teenage girl reflexively drop her phone. Haura was hypnotized to read a message from Nevan. Watch me? Wh-wh-what for? muttered the girl.


Again Nevan sent a message to Haura.


(So, if you're home, there's no reason for me to be at school. You need to remember that even without learning, I was born SMART.) Nevan.


Haura blinked her eyes many times as she read every message Nevan sent her. Really, his best friend was really an alien from the planet Neptune. Although Haura does not know what kind of alien form on the planet Neptune. Yang Haura knows that Neptune is a trouble-making planet because it likes to disrupt the orbits of the planets around it. Like Nevan who really likes to disturb the peace of his life.


After all where did Nevan gain such god-level confidence from? Haura massaged her temple to restore her consciousness.


(Wait for me, Ra. Soon I will be in front of you. So you don't have to miss me for long….. Because you can see me right away, even if you want, you can hug me too.) Nevan.


After reading Nevan's last message Haura immediately buried her face in a pillow and shouted loudly because she was annoyed by the unexpected message sent by Nevan for her.


“Alien from the planet Neptune,” As loud as Haura screams, no tone will listen to her.
