A Gift for Lala

Twenty-Two - Trian

I'm relieved that Fadly didn't drive me home on his abnormal bike. This time Fadly with his blue Mobilio. On the way home Fadly was silent and his eyes were completely fixed on the path in front of him. I also did not have a passion to open a conversation with him. I was still annoyed by the words Flowers. I wonder why beautiful girls like Yola and Bunga have such nyinyir nature. I guess it's only in soap operas. But I hope they don't have an evil fairy godmother who'll bewitch me into a frog for taking their cute boys' attention.

Finally, Fadly and I really became mute people because even in front of my house we still did not speak.

"Thanks, yes," I said.

"Wait, La. Sorry about what happened, yes. Emm.. Sorry too. I can't go with you.."

"No papa if you can't go with me. I can go there myself. There's A'am too" I said as if I could guess Fadly's way of thinking.

"I'm sorry, La."

"No papa." Then I waved towards Fadly. Little disappointed? Yup... There's a sense of disappointment. I mean, actually I still want to be seen with Fadly in public, especially in front of Junot and Yola. 

Hmmm, it turns out that I am no different from Junot. I also used Fadly for my revenge. And also an act of revenge against my freak situation for almost 17 years. The other side of my heart was proud that I was finally able to walk side by side with popular guys like Junot and Fadly. But I'm not wrong, am I?

"Mam, Lala wants permission this afternoon Lala wants to watch the same thing. Can, huh?" I said carefully to Mama at the dinner table.

"You may go but you must be escorted and waited for Mr. Ali."

Oh my God, why hasn't Mama changed. What kind of kid am I? If only it is okay. But cooking must be awaited. Ouch... Mom just freaks. Anyway I want to go for a walk with A'am first. UGGH... SEBEELLI!!

"Lala don't want to wait, Mom. Like a kid, just like that."

"Can't protest. Mama doesn't want you to be so lucky."

"Emang Lala wants to go to the beach where Mam? Mama doesn't know anyway, Lala is tired of being arranged - nature continues. You know what Lala is like. I have done everything my mom wants. But you know what, Mam? Lala's not a normal person. Lala even became a strange girl, who did not slang, who was afraid of the same people, who were always sneered, it was all because of Mama!!"

I slammed my spoon and ran to the room. I am grateful to have a Mama who is not cruel Her stepmother garlic, but if this continues the situation I also can not accept.

"Lala..!! Lala..!!" scream Mama, I know Mama certainly did not think I would say that. But this was the height of my frustration with Mama. I heard the door of my room being knocked from outside. I know it's Mama.

"Lala, listen! You are not polite with Mom. And Mama doesn't know who you learned that from!" 

I don't care about Mom's words. Didn't Mama realize that my attitude was like that because of her late treatment. I'm sorry God if I hurt Mama. But I beg you, change your attitude. Make Mama understand. Pliss... 

"And one more. You can't go out this afternoon" Mama's last ultimatum made my tears break. What about A'am? What about Trian? I can't do anything about it.

No, I can't just keep quiet. I gotta get out. I had to make Mama realize that Mama's attitude had depressed me. I rushed to change clothes. When I was ready, I called A'am to pick me up on the highway.

I crept down the stairs. I saw where Mama was. It looks like he's in his room. I went to the garage door and walked slowly out of the yard. 

Again, I'm sorry, Ma. Forgive me God, but right now I have to get out of the house. After coming out of the gate I breathed a sigh of relief. I walked two hundred meters towards the highway and waited for A'am's invitation there. Not long after that A'am appeared in front of me, opened his helmet and smiled at me.

"You ran away, huh?"

"Udah ah. ntar just say it, afraid of being discovered." I immediately snatched the helmet from A'am's hand. And we're heading to the cinema soon.

Once there, A'am and I tried to break through the crowd. The movie hasn't started yet. And all the spectators who were mostly ABG were seen were glued to the front. There were already a few radio crews there and what amazed me, there, Cristian Prasetyo. Yes Forgive me. Pantesan Gigi is crazy about that guy. It turns out that the original is really cute.

I can also see Heina and Pipin screaming hysterically when told to come forward by the MC and have a chance to shake hands and selfie with Pras. I saw the envious gazes of some of the ABG girls who saw them.

"Fifteen minutes later the cinema door was opened and we all couldn't wait to get in. A'am held my hand so as not to rush. 

"Alas relax, La. the seat will not be taker so no need to push." Me and A'am finally chose the last entrance to make it more comfortable. Suddenly my phone rang... Trian!!

"Hello, Tan... Where are you?"

"Come, La. You're inside, aren't you?"

"No, I'm still at the door." At the same time I saw the figure of Cristian Prasetyo coming out of one of the doors of the curate. Girls don't know that Cristian infiltrated out. Try if they find out, Cristian's face is kissed by them.

"Front door? You're wearing yellow, aren't you?"

Huh huh? Meaning Trian is around me now. I immediately threw my gaze around the cinema area. I heard A'am calling me to get into the bisocope.

But.my eyes were fixed on that figure who was also talking on his phone. I could only glare without being able to say anything. Could she??

***

"Hello, Lala." I was still fixated because I still couldn't believe my vision. Is he really Trian? But not his name...

"La, Lala. You why? Hmmm... You are shocked huh? You never know my full name and I never put up a profile picture. But at home I used to be called Trian."

"Cristian Prasetyo..." A'am approached us with a face of disbelief.

"Lho, La. You never said you knew Cristian."

"I... I just don't know... That's.."

Cristian chuckles small. "Haha.. Sorry yes, La."

"Eh. no papa."

I'm still in shock. It's a very pleasant surprise. Can I be friends with Cristian Prasetyo?

"Yes, you guys go in first. The film will start. We'll see you after we watch, yeah. Yea..."

Cristian immediately turned around because I saw someone waiting for him at the emergency exit.

"So that's..."

"Trian.." I answered A'am's curiosity.

"And I had no idea that Trian was Cristian. Geez. I still can't believe it, Am." A'am smiled then pulled my hand to go inside.
