A Handful of Homes for Mikayla

JEALOUS WITHOUT REALIZING

Happy Reading

The clear sky turned dim, the black-colored clouds twitching spoiled in the sky with their comrades. Mentari who still wants to deliver the twilight rays is blocked. Mikayla who was sitting waiting on one of the front benches of the school raised her head to stare at the dark sky.

"You're raining." Said slowly.

Mikayla decides to wait for Nathan to come home, he waits on one of the benches that students usually use to wait for the city bus. Sometimes he hummed by alternating his two legs.

Looking at the circular watch on his wrist, time had already shown it at five in the afternoon. "Grade twelve is coming home soon" said Mika.

Sure enough, the ringing of the school bell rang loudly until it was heard in front of the gate, coincidentally the bell speaker was also near the security guard post.

Mikayla was still sitting quietly, looking at the school gate waiting for Nathan's car to come out, and she sent Nathan a short message to let him know where he was.

"I'm waiting in front of the school gate, brother."

The message was sent but not read by Nathan, Mikayla casually sat back down. Sayup-sayup heard the laughter of High School children who were joking. He saw some twelfth graders who started to arrive waiting for the city bus.

"Hey, what were you talking about seriously? Laura has heart disease?" Ask a student.

Mikayla who was listening to him started to put her ears as wide as an elephant, she stopped playing around with both her legs.

"True, he came to class to see Nathan and his chest ached even though he had a heart medicine. That's what he said." Answer other students.

"Kasian not really, still young but already sick. I'm not sure Nathan will be with him or Nathan's family will take it." Say one of them.

Mikayla just smiled bitterly, right what they said. Any guy who wants to live with a sick woman like her, about Laura who has Mikayla's heart disease will investigate.

"But Nathan seems to love Laura very much. The proof from long ago they didn't seem to fight and were always fine." Other timpal.

"Well, maybe only Nathan will accept Laura as they've been dating since second grade. Time suddenly broke up knowing her lover turned out to be sick." Another word with laughter.

A short time later, the city bus stopped right in front of the students who were talking about Laura and Nathan. They immediately took turns into the bus, until the sound of the horn startled Mikayla.

"Non, will you come in?" Ask the driver.

Mikayla shook her head, which then closed the bus door, and began to leave the elite High School. Bennar not all students in elite High School are rich people but also students who get scholarships for his achievements.

The roar of the sky began to sound, but until this second Nathan's car had not yet appeared. Mikayla checked her phone again. However, nil because there is no reply from Nathan even though the message has been read.

Mikayla called Nathan's phone again but was not active, it certainly made Mikayla's forehead shrivel inside. "Why not active, is Nathan's cell phone running out of power so it doesn't have time to reply to my message?" Mika said slowly.

"All right, I'll wait." Mikayla is back.

The innocent girl decided to wait for her husband to come out the school gate, the dark sky had already begun to cry. Flushing the city that afternoon, one drop fell soaking the earth which was then followed by another drop so that it rained heavily.

Mikayla pulled back the two legs that were still wearing the white drop because the rain hit her, she flickered looking at the sky that continued to rumble "It looks like it will be long raining," Mikayla said by holding hujann water that dripped through the roof where waiting for the bus.

In class, after the students are out, Nathan and Dean are left. Nathan walks in and locks the classroom door from the inside making Dean baffle.

"Why in the lock? If you want to ask just ask." Said Dean in a dislike tone.

"I don't want anyone to interrupt our conversation" Nathan replied coldly.

"What's your relationship with Mikayla?" Nathan asked cold and flat.

Dean raised next to his eyebrows, a faint smile etched onto his handsome face.

"Why do you want to know my personal affairs?" Said Dean who walked over to one of the tables and dropped his body weight.

"Just answer me, what's your relationship with Mikayla!" Nathan said with a stifled tone.

"You think?" Dean asked Nathan for patience.

Nathan clenched his hands together, his gaze glistening furiously at the indifferent-looking Dean leisurely sitting on his classmate's desk.

"Sway, Mika. I don't like to see you close to him." Nathan replied with emphasis.

"No, you're ready Mikayla asked me to approach her? Huh, or maybe you're against Mika? Remember bro, you already have Laura if you want to have Mikayla then let Laura go. Because we can't hold two women in one hand." Dean's words that made Nathan speechless on the spot.

Dean got up and picked up his backpack, he walked over to pat Nathan on the shoulder, and brought his lips closer to Nathan's ears.

"I know everything."

Dean immediately walked away from Nathan who widened his eyes as if shocked to hear the words of his best friend, heard the door open and closed quickly.

Laura, who was waiting in front of Nathan's class, looked in wonder at Dean, because the man had a cooler-looking face than usual when he left the class. Laura looked at Dean's back confusedly,

"Darling, what's wrong with Dean?" Laura asked who went into Nathan's class.

"I went to the bathroom for a while" Nathan said, walking through Laura without answering or looking at her face.

Laura was more confused and astonished to see him, she only saw Nathan's back coming out of the classroom. With a pouting face Laura walked towards her lover's table.

Seeing Nathan's phone lying on top of a black bag, Laura turned to the outside to make sure that Nathan had not returned. Turning on Nathan's phone carefully, Nathan's phone is unlocked just as Mikayla seized it the other day easily ransacking Nathan's contents.

There was a new message coming in, Mikayla's name was there. Laura immediately opened it, she was very curious how the chat contents Nathan and Mikayla who is the wife.

The look on Laura's face changed to show her feelings when reading the couple's message, angry, trivial, and flat. He pressed the power button to turn Nathan's phone off and put it back on immediately.

Just as Laura wants to return the phone, Nathan enters the classroom. Nervously Laura stood up "Y-you're done? Let's go home." Laura said nervously.

Nathan stared suspiciously, he picked up his cell phone turned out to be dead. Nathan put his phone in his pants pocket.

"Come on." Take Nathan.

Laura smiled and clasped Nathan's arms cheerfully, they walked away from the twelfth grade, and walked down the stairs with a light conversation.

"Darling, we stopped by to eat first at the cafe you used to take me to in the row of boutiques huh?" Laura said in her long voice.

"Byeah, I happen to be hungry too" replied Nathan gently.

Heavy rain flushed the earth as they exited the school building, Nathan quickly ran and followed Laura behind him to Nathan's car, which was quite far from his class. Nathan got inside and shortly afterwards Laura got into the car as well.

They both looked soaked enough as they ran from the school building to the student car park, "Are you okay?" Nathan asked Laura.

"It's okay, just wet my hair." Laura replied by drying her clothes using a tissue.

Nathan was silent, he saw Laura who was still busy drying clothes, and his wet hair. As if dismissing prejudice, Nathan immediately started his car engine and walked away from school.

In the car, Nathan can clearly see a sign he doesn't like very much. Seeing Mikayla standing with Dean at the city bus stop.
