Behind the Grey Cloud

25 Beautiful Start

We went to school after the bus came. We were constantly laughing happily together. Until we got to school.

We walked while holding hands. Like a couple drunk. I'm happy today. Very happy.

" May will be home from school and we will look at Zen Yuk. As long as we were sick yesterday, you were treated and waited for Zen as long as Aunt Mita had not come."

I stopped the step.

I'm rattled. Why Bella should take me to see her father Zen when we just improved.

" But Bell,." said I'm stuck.

He smiled and patted me on the shoulder.

" It's okay, May. I'm sincere if you're Zen. Zen is sincere with you." Bella told me

I took a breath, calming my heart.

Actually I'm afraid that Zen got angry after the hospital incident yesterday.

****

We arrived in front of the hospital.

Here I have felt something terrible. Where Zen was waiting for me, holding my hand until I fell asleep.

I'm stopping.

I'm afraid Zen is still angry at me and Bella will also be angry again because she has not been able to move on from Zen.

Bella pulled my arm slowly.

And I followed him too.

" Ayoo.." take Bella to me.

We walked to the ICU. The room where papa Zen was treated.

Bella knocks on the door slowly and Zen opens the door. I heard the voice of a woman who was sobbing in the room of papa Zen.

" Are you guys, want to look at papa?" greet Zen to us.

" Yes Zen. How is your papa?" ask Bella.

" Thank God be good. But still unconscious." answered him while bowed

Looks like a tired face on that guy. Her eyes are cute and her hair is disheveled.

" We sit on the bench here. Inside there is a mother. He just came back from his village. So as long as papa's in the care of mama doesn't know. I intentionally didn't tell him. I'm afraid he's worried" Zen explained to us.

" I'm sorry I'm Zen. Because of me you guys are so far away. I am selfish. I'm sorry to expect too much from you" Bella told Zen.

The one who had been silent since then finally opened his voice.

" Zen, Bell, if you love each other you're okay. The important thing is that I have friends like you. But for now, I have not thought about love. I want to focus on pursuing my mind." These words feel heavy coming out of my lips

" Mayangs.. We all know. Zen likes you. I'm just there to test your love" Bella told me.

" But I don't want you to go anymore Bell." I said again.

" I'm not going to May."

Only Zen was silent. He seemed reluctant to comment. Maybe he still thinks of his dad.

" O yes Zen said the doctor how did your papa's disease progress?" I said to melt the stiff atmosphere.

" The plan, later if you are aware, the doctor will install a ring in your right heart. And if it has been installed papa ring can no longer work too heavy. Not much thought." she explained slowly

Bella and I just hear the mangosteen.

Remembering that, my heart sakit once. There's a sense of tightness that's building up.

" Yes May, I hope I can be patient and strong rich you" said Zen eagerly

After talking for a while, Bella and I finally decided to go home because today the stalls are very crowded.

****

Since that incident, while waiting for the shop, Bella forced me to call or just send a message via phone to Zen.

Zen and I can get back together.

And now Bella is close to the upperclassman who has always liked her.

At first Bella also likes and they start to deket anyway, but Bella a little shy because she wants to be close to Zen.

Aunt Mita always smiles or even hoards if we are talking about love.

" Aunty used to be young too" he said when we refused him to join

We laughed together too.

ddrrrttt ddrrrttt ddrrrttt

my hp is ringing

From Ms. Yasmin.

" hello ma'am, assalamualaikum." I say hello to Ms. Yasmin

" wa'alaikumsalam dear. how are you?" voice over there.

" Thank God be good. Mom how are you?" ask me back

" Good mother. What is this May doing?" ask Ms. Yasmin back

" It's waiting for the shop Ma'am. Did you eat?"

" It's Nak. Mom ate. Want, can I ask you something?" ask Ms. Yasmin. It seems like he is hiding a problem

" Yes mom. What do you want to ask? my answer is getting curious.

I heard Mrs Yasmin taking a deep breath.

" If your mother comes back, will you stay with her and leave mother son?" ask her very carefully

Now I'm the one who breathed. I don't know what words will come out of my lips. I nodded in confusion.

" Why are you asking me that, Mom?" askaku returned

" Today's time to the market, I met your aunt. She said your mother just went to the village and found you. Maybe you want to be hijacked to live with his new family." explained Ms. Yasmin Long.

" I don't want to live with mom's new family, Mom. Because it was the new family that had ruined the old family. So I don't want to go with my mom." I replied.

Given the incident where my mother could leave me who was a child to go looking for happiness, it feels like I do not want to share her happiness.

Because her happiness is a suffering for me and my father.

Ms. Yasmin looked crying.

" Mayang, actually the heavy mother said this. Actually little heart mom does not want to hold you to come with your mother later. But if you go, I don't have anyone else, son." said the mother still crying.

" Mommy has Mayang, and forever Mayang will be a mother's child" I replied to calm Ms. Yasmin.

After a while, we finally closed the conversation.
