Because Apples
Tired of Hearts for example



A room feels empty. There are four people occupying it. With two different types of boards in front of them.


“ Check! “


With Adam's voice moving his chess piece away. Reaping the annoyance of the co-star.


Shortly after, the apartment door was knocked.


Realizing that no one was intending to open it, Dika sighed. Then he was forced to open the door that began to disturb it.


And snorted when he saw who was coming. Nadine and her parents. The person he had met so often in this place the past year.


“ Log in! “


Four of them came in.


“ Dogs! Fuck lo!! “


Leon shouted in annoyance. It doesn't matter if he's not the only one in the room. Two times in a row he lost playing chess to Adam.


“ You guys at the end of what? “


Three people look.


“ Loh, Om Deny? Aunt Vina? Whynot? “ Affan asks back.


“ Even back. “


The suspect chuckled, “ Usual, Tan. Play around. “


“ Play what can you get to kayak bread dough all gini? “


School came home this morning. They obviously don't want to know the reason. The important thing is to go home.


Then choose this one best friend apartment to be a playground. Carom and chess are what fill their activities. Of course with punishment for the losers.


And since Dika happened to still have the remaining flour from yesterday's cooking class, it was used as punishment. Starting from a small scribble on the face, then spread until the white color meets the entire body. With bare chest and only shorts left.


The worst victim was Adam. Although he won several times playing chess, he really sucked carambol affairs. There are even some points whose edges stick firmly on the skin.


“ Sorry, Om, Tan! The room is again a mess. “ said Adam.


“ Lah, Aunt's husband used to be even worse, Dam. “ said Vina laughed lightly.


The whole room is indeed a lot of flour grains. There is little room to sit without getting dirty.


“ Where to go to college, Brother? “


Nadine turned her head, “ Inmates abroad. But I didn't get Mama! “


“ You're still a kid, Ra. If you leave, Mama will have no friends. “ Nadine sneered at that answer.


While Adam was talking, three of his friends had returned engrossed in the hollow board. With Deny who is interested in playing. Try his skills against the young boys.


“ Lee. “


Leon snorted while looking. For God's sake, he has no Chinese or Korean blood!


“ You tattoo? “


Gulp. His friends just look at me. As if saying ‘Mampus lo! Caught right!’.


Then nod stiffly. He regretted not wearing his shirt back.


A leafless tree tattoo on his upper left arm. With roots in the wrist up, the trunk and branches up to the shoulder. He said this tattoo has its own meaning.


Family as a symbol. A tree branch is anyone in its family. Then the stem is itself, and the root is the foundation of the family.


It's been a long time since Leon High School had tattoos. But it was never known except for its friends. The answer is because he always wears a long-sleeved shirt. Sometimes it is also still covered in an alma mater.


And while volleying, despite wearing only a sleeveless sweatshirt, he covered it with an arm decker and cuff.


More clearly the tattoo on his back.


Art depicting the angel's broken wings covered most of his strapping back. As Leon spread out his hands, it would look like a stretched wing.


Can only smile awkwardly when caught like this.


While Vina just sighed knowing her protege like this. How else. Leon obviously did not want to be asked to remove it.


“ Anyway during school lest anyone know!! “


“ I-iya, Tan. “


One over. Maple leaf tattoo on his strapping back. For this one, Leon wouldn't tell me the meaning. Company secrets, he said.


“ Get dressed first, Dam! “ Nadine is quite disturbed by the athletic body of her sister.


“ Why? More sultry too, “ reply the young man on the balcony. Still with his shorts. Not intend to clean up because it is still quite early in the morning.


“ You yourself will go to college where? “ ask Vina.


Adam shakes a little, “ Don't know yet, Tan. School has not graduated. “


“ Don't know yet? There is a desire for college, right? “


Nodding. He went back inside when he felt like he was getting cold. Also because outside just now it was like making him feel if Vina was his mother. Not connecting once.

What's strange about his workplace right now is about salary.


Adam only worked as a waitress in this cafe, but the salary given reached four million per month. It's weird, isn't it. He also only worked from noon until nine at night.


But Adamnya only bodo very. No matter as long as it doesn't harm him.


He also needs time to study again. Now we are approaching the test.


But what should be used for learning, even for dating. Really young now!


“ Are you home? “


Adam was shocked. Looking and sniffing. Then nod.


“ What are you doing here? “


“ Just got home from college. “ Reply Dita.


Walk along with the girlfriend who happened to meet.


“ Hours just got home? “ asks Adam not believe. It's eight o'clock more.


Dita nodded sluggishly, “ All of you stopped by you. “


Next to the young man's eyebrows rose. Makes Dita interested.


There's no response. Adam was busy looking for something in his bag.


“ Try once again, Dam! “


“ Huh? “


The handsome young man was confused. What he did until Dita asked to repeat it again.


“ What else? “


Dita did not answer. Pull Adam's hand and bring him to a chair.


“ Loh, how are you in the park? “


Dita chuckles. So sweet, “ So beautiful I am yes, until you don't realize you've arrived here? “


Adam grunting. His intention after returning from the cafe was straight home. And now meet Dita. Not that he doesn't like it, he misses it. It's just that he's tired.


Sitting in a garden chair face to face. With Dita holding his hand.


“ Try once again dong! “


“ What else? “ Adam start riled up.


Dita just chuckled. Pinched the cheek of the anxious lover.


“ Try gerakkin again your eyebrows! “


Still confused. Both of his eyebrows moved up. Like being seductive.


Dita clucking. That's not what he wants.


“ One eyebrow, Dam! “


Only now did Adam understand. Although it was not a great ability, in fact not many people could do that.


“ Kok recorded anyway!! “


Dita smiled with satisfaction. He liked that move. Many times try and the results fail also many times. And that's why they both laughed.


“ Anin? “ both turned.


“ What are you doing? “ asks a man who looks the same age as Dita.


There's no answer. Because Dita did not want to answer. Adam was silent because he did not know about this.


He chose to take his eyes off. Let it be a bit of a hat cover that he wears. Wherever it matters is not looking at this man.


The man she used to see was holding hands with Dita at a restaurant. Before they date.


“ Want to do again anyway?! “ pissed Dita.


The man sat beside Dita. Trying to grab the girl's hand to hold. But quickly pushed aside.


“ Nin, I want to clear! “


“ What will be explained anyway, Yo? Once a year, “ Ryo, the man's name rattled.


“ I'm with Oliv nothing, Nin! The vow! There's nothing! “


“ Lo lie I also will not know, just relax. “ reply Dita not interested.


And that pissed Ryo off.


“ I didn't say agree break up time! “


Dita clucking no matter, “ Biarin. I do care. “


Apparently ex. In silence Adam nodded in understanding. This man had always been the most important thing in the life of his girlfriend.


And it is not impossible if Dita still keeps the taste. For the last one, he really didn't like it. I hope his thinking is wrong.


Adam's mind is in chaos.


This morning, his brain was forced to think hard. Then after that, I still have to work. And cafe visitors today are more crowded than usual. Still coupled with the gentle call that the man made to his lover.


Really draining the mind. Lying if Adam is not emotional. Unfortunately, he can still hold it. Maybe if not, this guy named Ryo is already patted because of his fist.


But over time it hurt.


“ I want to turn it back to you. “


Deg


God fucking. His hands clenched tightly holding back the anger. Looking forward to the answers that may be issued by Dita.


While the girl flinched. Not interested in giving an answer because it has long moved on. Choose silence but keep shaking firmly.


Unfortunately Adam did not see the movement of his head. For quite a long time there was no answer and therefore he concluded that Dita did still hold a taste for Ryo. That's why he chose to leave.


“ Adam? “


Budging.


“ Lepasin! Yo, we broke up a long time ago and I have no taste for you! “ Dita took off the cheque in her hands rough.


Followed the lover who he knew was angry.


“ Adam! Don't gini dong?! “


Still no answer. This is almost the same as a few months ago. The difference was that they were not dating at the time.


“ Adam! “


Succeeds.


Adam stop. Staring at Dita reluctantly and lazily. It was still with a sudden annoyance that just started to ignite again in his heart.


“ I can clear! “


Smiling cynically, “ Your words are exactly like that guy, Dit. “


Then walk back. A few steps later, his hand was held.


“ Why else?! “


“ I'm with Ryo has nothing to do!! “


“ Whatever. I'm tired, I'm going home. Finish your business with him. “


It seems true said many. Dating does have a bad impact.


Tired of heart for example.
