(May) I Fall in Love

Drama In The Morning

“Where are you going, Ra?” nevan asked when he saw Haura early in the morning was neat. Nevan's heart intents to go to the kitchen to get water, instead seeing the neat Haura. That means Haura wants to go somewhere. Guess Nevan.

“Isn't today the weekend? Where are you going?” nevan asked again without waiting for Haura to answer first.

“I want to shop with Mom. It's a weekend, so today's schedule Mother to shop for kitchen needs for the next week,” Haura replied while staring question mark to Nevan. The reason, the man had seen Haura several times to go shopping with her mother every weekend, but why Nevan always asked where Haura was going. Strange feeling.

Nevan rounded her mouth as a sign that she had understood Haura's words. “Then I come with you.”

“Cute? Come where?”

“Ya come with you shopping. Where might come with you to the beach.” The teenager said very lightly. It was as if grocery shopping was something really fun.

While at home, Nevan makes the most of her time in order to be with Haura. The limited interaction between the two teenagers during their time at school makes Nevan feel that something is incomplete in her life. The time to flirt with his best friend is reduced by the ridiculous agreement they made.

“You don't be weird, Van. I'm the same Mom wants to shop for kitchen needs not a walk in the mall. Why are you coming with me and Mom?” Haura was inexhaustible with Nevan's will that kept her confused.

“I know you want grocery shopping, Haura. If I want to come, where's the fault?”

The girl paused for a moment thinking about what answer she should have to say in order for Nevan to immediately undo her intention to go shopping together with her.

“Again, you can't deny me. As per our agreement, I can be just as you as I like when we're home. We can chat anything,” Nevan continued after. Affirming that Haura will not be able to prevent his wish.

“Chat the hell chat. But I want to go shopping, there's no way we can talk when I'm shopping. What do we want to talk about? Sembako price?” Haura is getting annoyed at Nevan who doesn't know the time and place to talk. Although they can talk a lot while at home, it does not mean that they can be anywhere and anytime. Moreover, to the point of disrupting his work, Haura really could not continue to follow all the wishes of her master's child.

“You are just as willing as I am. Besides with me coming with you and Miss Lastri, it will be more profitable.”

Haura is getting bullied because of Nevan's words. Wanting to voice the protest out loud, but Haura did not dare. Afraid if the host actually heard himself yelling at the youngest son of the family.

“Favorable how the hell, Nevan. With you coming along, it's getting more and more of a bite on me and it's also going to torture you. I bought it at a traditional market. It must be there muddy, hot, crammed people. Are you sure you still want to come?” Haura had to lie. Hoping that his lies will make Nevan undo his intentions. The girl was very confident that Nevan would not want to if he had to set foot in a traditional market. Although in fact it is not a traditional market that will be headed by Haura and her mother.

Nevan was scratching his chin. The handsome teenager was thinking. “Tradional market,” sounds Nevan murmured softly.

On the other hand Haura looked expectantly at Nevan. I hope Nevan really ignores that intention.

But as Haura's hope evaporated with the air in the room. Because the next second Nevan's eyes emitted a strange twinkle that actually made Haura more afraid of him.

"OK... traditional market right, Ra?"

Haura simply nodded foolishly to affirm her answer.

"I'm coming. I want to know what it's like to shop in a traditional market." A happy glow emanated from Nevan's face. Instead of undoing his intentions, Nevan looks increasingly enthusiastic with curiosity so high. Like a child who is so curious how it feels to bathe directly under the rain for the first time.

Nevan's curiosity makes Haura panic. His lies are greeted with enthusiasm by Nevan. "No... Not... You can't come. Point," firmly the teenage girl really refused the firm will of her handsome friend.

The happy sparkle on Nevan's handsome face dimmed already due to the rejection from Haura. Piqued. That's what Nevan feels. The handsome teenager did not realize that his attitude first made Haura upset.

Inner Haura regretted visiting the main house before leaving to shop with her mother. If he had waited for his mother at home, he would not have been hanging out with Nevan in the kitchen. And the morning drama where her best friend wanted to go shopping didn't have to happen.

“Although you do not permit me to come, I still go. And I don't need permission from you.” Nevan said coldly. Nevan insists on going shopping with Haura and Bu Lastri.

“Again I want to know why you can't let me come?” Nevan knitted her eyebrows sharply at Haura. He was curious why Haura so aggressively forbid him to go shopping together. The reason Nevan wanted to come along besides indeed wanting to accompany Haura, was also because she was bored at home. There's nothing he can do. Especially this early in the morning her brother had gone out of nowhere. While his father after finishing breakfast immediately locked himself in the workspace. No one could ask him to just talk about light things. Only the phone became his friend.

“Color you son of my employer.” Finally Haura said the real reason for her objection. But unfortunately one sentence that escaped from Haura's mouth actually made Nevan's face turn angry.

“Nevan, although you are my best friend, we are close friends but you should be aware of our status. Here you are the son of my master and I am the son of an ART. Okay, we're friends. But it doesn't have to be like this. We must keep the boundaries of what is and what is not. With you coming with me and Mom and helping us, it really made me uncomfortable. I don't want to break rules like that.”

The teenage girl continued to talk at length without realizing that her interlocutor had now put on a flat face. Nevan looked at Haura in silence. Right now the teenage boy was just listening to all the excuses for Haura's refusal. Nevan had not answered a word of all Haura's words.

“I hope you understand, Van. We're buddies. But status remains status.” Haura said softly as a closure from the words she had spoken earlier.

“Udah?” ask Nevan flat. Nevan's voice was a little growling.

Haura looked at the face of the man before her. The face that had been ignored since he kept talking non-stop. Haura stared directly at Nevan's chocolate bead pata. The look was filled with anger.

“Udah talk?” ask Nevan again.

Now Haura's eyes were radiating a hint of fear. He knew his best friend didn't like it when he talked about the status differences between them. The teenage girl gulped her saliva violently. Haura realized that she had misspoken. But isn't everything he says true?

While Haura was only able to bite her lower lip because she felt very nervous because Nevan was looking at her like that. There was a clear sense of disappointment in his best friend's gaze.

“Whatever you are. Whatever you are. No matter how you. You are my best friend. A very important person in my life. So, don't ever discuss that damn status issue again.” Nevan's words are full

with firmness. It could be said that Nevan is currently giving a final warning to Haura.

“But, Van... Me...”

“You know, Haura? All my attitude towards you all this time, it's sincere. Not because I feel sorry for you or anything. You are my best friend. You and your mother were the ones who always held me back when I was little. When my mother was sick. When I'm alone and need friends. When no one can understand that at that time I really wanted to be embraced by a mother like Niko and Gian. But Mama I was hospitalized, couldn't hug me. And your mother was always there to do it all. Which even my own aunt did not understand my feelings at that time.”

Haura fell silent. The teenage girl's body felt stiff like a mannequin. Her best friend was trying to hold back from crying, Haura knew that. Nevan's voice was shaking. His eyes began to condense. The girl realized that she had really made a mistake.

“What do you think, all this time all my kindness to you was a pity? Do you think I am not sincere with you? What do you think..” Nevan did not continue his words. The handsome teenager rubbed his face rough.

One thing that Haura realized, that his words that were considered trivial actually made Nevan back

remembering her difficult childhood.

“You and your mother are precious to me. So don't ever think that I'm your employer and you're just servants in this house. I love you and your mother.” The teenage boy said with gentleness. Staring directly at the eyes of the teenage girl standing before him. Nevan was able to capture the sense of regret within Haura's gaze.

Perhaps her best friend was sorry for making her recall her childhood story. That's how Nevan thought.

“Sorry.” Only that word was capable of Haura saying.

“You promised me that you would never discuss the status issue between us again. I don't want to hear about it anymore. Forever. Hmmmm..”

Only a nod could Haura make for the answer Nevan said. It would be a lie if Haura said that she was unhappy because Nevan was really sincere with her.

Afterwards Haura walked a step closer to Nevan. A second later the girl stepped on to reduce the gap between herself and her best friend. With tenderness, Haura wiped the tears that had been seen coming out of Nevan's eyelids.

Getting such treatment from Haura, Nevan was completely shocked. Because Nevan felt very embarrassed because Haura realized that a moment ago she almost cried because she remembered her childhood.

“Ehhh... You don't get me wrong, Ra. It's not tears but sweat.” Nevan said in a panic because Haura wiped the tears that did not come out.

Haura raised the corner of her lips perfectly to reveal a dimple that made her look very sweet. “I never said that I wiped your tears,” replied Haura who immediately made Nevan like he was being caught off guard because of a misunderstanding.

“Again, where can sweat eyes,” added Haura again.

“Ya can do it. This is one of the rare events that do not happen to just anyone. Only certain people who have genetic disorders like this,” kilah handsome teenager to cover his disgrace because almost crying in front of Haura.

“Oh yes... Why have I never heard?” Haura increasingly bitterly teased Nevan directly.Even the girl raised her eyebrows that made Nevan increasingly upset.

Nevan snorted in annoyance as Haura continued to make fun of him. “Because you are less smart, so you have never heard of rare events like gini.”

“Hahahaha The teenage girl laughed loudly at Nevan's words. The atmosphere that had once stiffened and almost made Nevan grieve disappeared in an instant.

This made Nevan bend her face. Finally Nevan chose to leave the kitchen because he felt completely defeated by Haura.She also felt annoyed at herself for almost letting out her tears in front of a woman. That's a real disgrace to Nevan.

“You don't go, because I want to change. You have to wait for me.”

Nevan passed by without waiting for Haura to answer. While Haura is seen rubbing the tip of her eyes that are slightly watery because of the laughing effect of Nevan.

Without the two teenagers realizing, behind a pillar that connects the dining room and kitchen there is someone who steals all the talk Nevan and Haura.

The figure rubbed his eyes that had issued a clear liquid a moment ago because of hearing the conversation of the two teenagers. His chest felt a heavy burden after finding out

it turns out that Nevan went through her childhood very lonely. His youngest son was lacking attention because of the illness suffered by his wife and also his busyness in the world of work to ignore his family.

His youngest son never complained at all. Pretending to be tough when his soul is really fragile. A fact that makes Mr. Liam's guilt even more rippling to the surface.

Mr. Liam stared at the nanar towards his youngest son who was climbing the stairs one by one. A guilty feeling that infiltrated the recesses of his heart. Sorry but it's too late.

The next second the middle-aged man shifted his sense of sight to the figure of a teenage girl who was still not moving from the kitchen. A crescent moon arch rises on Mr. Liam's lips. A smile that could be interpreted as an unspoken thank you to Haura.

A simple but special teenage girl. The figure of the girl who gave a deep impression to the drama that happened in the morning. The drama begins with a debate, seasoned with sadness and ends with laughter. Full-color.
