1000 Season Chasing Stars

CHAPTER 10

Without a second thought, Niko's 2nd friend took the cake - 2 was on the plate, praising Laura after eating it. ''Your cake is delicious'', said one of Niko's friends. ''My sister likes to experiment with cookies, can I have a recipe for the cake?''

Laura nodded, Of course. I'll give you the recipe in class later''.

Niko's friend smiled. ''Thanks.”

Suddenly 2 someone hit Laura from behind so that the plate she was carrying dropped and her cake-2 splattered on the ground. ''Oh.I'm sorry, '' said Erika, who obviously accidentally bumped into Laura. ''I was not on purpose.”

''Erika'', Niko's nagging, ''why can you be this reckless?''

''I'm really-2 sorry, Laura''. Erika looked at Laura with a smile.

Laura does not know if Erika accidentally or not hit him, but she is sad to see the results of her work end up on the field. ''Tdk what-2'', he said later.

Erika smiled broadly, I was right-2 unintentionally, '' she said again, then her gaze turned to Niko. ''Niko, my marching band will be performing in the hall for a while. Come on, come on over there.'' Erika pulls Niko's hand to follow her.

But before leaving, Niko spoke to Laura, Forgive Erika, yes.''

Laura nodded. ''Tdk what-2''.

After looking at Niko's back that disappeared behind the hall, Laura collected the cake-2 scattered in the field and placed it back on the plate. He walked slowly, then threw away all the cookies. When all the cakes had moved to the trash, his heart languished in sadness.

On the way home that day, Laura was pensive for a long time. Maybe he should stop being friends with Niko. And this desire he expressed to mama.

''Should I stop being friends with her, ma?'' ask when they do the dishes in the kitchen.

Laura shakes.

''Laura'', said the mother as she closed the water tap, ''why don't you come clean with this guy if you like him?'

''She doesn't like me Laura replied.

''Wouldn't it be better for you to say your heart to her. Then once you find out she doesn't like you, you can start to stop feeling good about her and start a new relationship.''

''I know, but it's hard to let go. Especially now that we are friends.'' ''You want her boyfriend?'' ask mama again.

Laura looked at my mother sadly. ''That's an impossible hope, Ma. He likes his girlfriend now. But, do my feelings like it wrong, ma?''

Mama shook her head. ''Love is not simple. You don't like it wrong. It's just that you like the wrong people at the wrong time''.

Laura scolded. ''Give me some time until I graduate high school. At that time, I will decide to let go. After all, we will certainly split up. He must have gone to college in a different place than me. I've been chasing him for one and a half years. School graduation is 7 months away. Let me have this time to like it.''

Mama hugged her daughter, ''OK. Just until graduation, yeah. After that you have to let go. Believe me, sooner or later, time will heal the wounds in your heart.''

''Thanks, Ma'', Laura replied as she hugged and inhaled the fragrance of my mother's body. Laura smiled, mom's embrace always made her feel better.

Laura tries to stay away from Niko since her birthday, but fate brings them closer. Mr. Bambang, the homeroom teacher, persuaded Laura and Niko to become the school's birthday bazaar committee for the food kiosk class 3 IPA 1. In the school bazaar later each class will open a food stall and race to be the best. The winner is determined by the amount of sales revenue of the kiosk that day.
