A Different Soul

Happiness Over Wounds 2

Episode forty-one (41)

After exiting the building, Denisa orders an ojek online while walking. Shortly the online service he ordered arrived.

" With Denisa's neng?" ask the middle-aged gentlemen to Denisa.

" Yes sir, I ordered."

" To the clear swamp, right neng?"

" Yes sir."

" Ready to go." Mr. motorcycle taxi driver was immediately hit by gas and headed to the place directed by Denisa.

For a while, Denisa didn't come home. He prefers to go to Renata's house to calm down. He just did not want to see his mother sad after seeing her messy state like this.

After a few minutes, Denisa finally arrived in front of the house simple but very comfortable in the eye. After giving money to the motorcycle taxi driver, Denisa knocked on Renata's door several times, and soon someone opened the door.

" Eh son Denisa, let's go in first, son!" said a middle-aged woman who was none other than Renata's mother.

Denisa did not answer, she just nodded weakly, then obeyed what Renata's mother said.

" Let's sit here, son!" renata's mother led Denisa to a chair and sat her there.

" just a sec! I'll call Renata first. He was gardening in the back of the house" he said. Denisa nodded again and showed a slight smile.

Before long a tomboyish girl came in a shabby and dirty shirt.

He wanted to sit down with Denisa, but Denisa warned him to take a bath first.

" With your shower first! cook, sit here in this filthy state. You slovenly," sneered Denisa who meant just kidding. They were used to it, so Renata was not offended. And whatever Denisa says is true.

" Yes, I took a shower. But you don't run away!" said Renata.

" Who would escape if the one who would come here was me."

" Oh yes, too." Renata grinned while scratching his head that did not itch.

" Oh yeah, I'm gonna clean up first." Renata went to the bathroom to clean up. While Denisa sits sweetly while waiting for her best friend to finish cleaning herself.

Before long Renata's mother appeared from the kitchen with a cup of warm tea and a few simple snacks, then she placed it on the table.

" Let's eat my son!"

" Yes, ma'am, thank you."

While waiting for Renata to finish, Denisa eats and drinks what Renata's mother treats.

Not much conversation between them. It was just a formal conversation between the mother and her child's friends.

Before long Renata came out with a fragrance that had been pouring out in the entire room. Although Renata is a tomboyish woman, but when it comes to body hygiene, she is the number one among her two friends, although the fragrance of soap and perfume she wears always smells typical of men.

Renata sits right next to Denisa, takes one snack, then wears it in a tomboyish style.

" What's wrong with your face? did you fight with your father until your face looked like a duck's mouth?" asked Renata while continuing to chew.

Denisa threw her breath out violently, looking down, after which looking at me towards Renata. As if to show that he is not okay.

" Alex?" ask Renata on target. Renata returned Denisa's gaze and asked that.

Without a sound Denisa replied with a nod of his head, because he seemed to have no more energy to speak.

Like Denisa, Renata took a rough breath, then shook her head. Concerned and inexhaustible with his best friend, as if to be one. Renata is already feeling very upset with Denisa who is unceasingly thinking of Alex who he thinks is clearly impossible to have.

Renata scratched his head that was not itchy, more precisely ruffled his hair because of growling.

" Denisa,,, Denisa! how many times have I told you, stop expecting someone who is uncertain. Alex is a tough guy to reach for, especially for a woman like you."

Denisa bowed sadly, her tears dripping down the back of her hand. And it made Renata realize that it had been very outrageous.

Renata looked at Denisa, then held Denisa's shoulder hesitantly.

" It-nisa!" call him.

Denisa did not answer, only her sobs were heard. Renata feels more guilty, then he grabs Denisa's body and hugs her.

" I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you, I just didn't want to,,,," Renata said to a standstill because Denisa prevented him from continuing.

" I understand. I'm not hurt at all, it's just that I was just made aware by your words," Denisa said as she unraveled her embrace.

Renata smiled, then looked at Denisa softly.

" Enough yeah! I just don't want you to get hurt."

Denisa nodded, though hesitantly. His heart was not ready, but he was conscious. There was nothing he could have expected from Alex.

" Yes, I just take a shower first, later after the shower I will take you home" Renata said standing up.

" So you kicked me out?" denisa said with a pouting face.

Renata turned around to answer.

" Yes, because you're bothering, you know not?"

After saying so, Renata then continued his intention which was originally delayed because of Denisa.

Denisa grew even more pouting and could only grumble indistinctly.

Renata, who had intended to drive Denisa home, now they have arrived in front of Denisa's house. They then immediately entered, coincidentally the day had begun afternoon, Lita, the mother was already at home.

" Have you gone, son?" ask Lita who is from the kitchen. She just finished cooking for dinner like that.

" Yes, ma'am." Denisa immediately threw her bo*ong on the wooden sofa, along with her breath that she threw out violently.

Renata also followed suit, sitting next to Denisa .

" You two go there?" Lita also sat down with the two young men. Lita's eyes took turns glancing at Renata and Denisa, as if looking for answers from them.

Renata glanced at Denisa who seemed silent and there was no initiative to answer. And finally Renata had to answer.

" No Ma'am. Denisa had stopped by the house before coming back here" replied Renata.

" Is that so? then why doesn't Denisa look excited, is there something going on, son?"

This time the question was specifically directed to the child.

Denisa straightened her body which was originally leaning on the shoulder of the chair.

" Nothing happened, Mom. I'm just so tired from being at a party all day" he told a lie. Denisa just doesn't want her mom to feel sad if she finds out.

" Denisa, I seem to want to go home first. Later if it's too long, mother cariin," said Renata.

" Not stay over, son? it's dusk loh," Lita bargained.

" No need Mom. I think I'll just go home."

" Are you okay to go home by yourself?" ask Denisa.

" Yes, take it easy, I can take care of myself. You rest, don't mind!" said Renata while holding Denisa's shoulder and smiling.

Denisa replied with a faint smile and then nodded.
