Behind the Grey Cloud

27 Flowers in bloom

I was so excited for school this morning.

Last night after having a little chat with Zen, it felt like I was sleeping so well.

As usual, I woke up early to prepare for the stall. Aided by Aunt Mita and Ms. Yasmin.

Today we received a lot of orders.

There are 250 rice boxes and 375 boxes of cookies.

Now there's Ms. Yasmin here, so she can replace me with a spice concoction. Now Aunt Mita is also good at cooking.

" Today's her itinerary is May?" asked Ms. Yasmin this morning as we were having breakfast.

" Today physics is the same English ma'am." I replied as I took rice into the dish.

" Next week Rani also repeated loh kak. Rani will diligently learn so that Rani can be smart rich brother." said the cute little girl.

" Yes dong. Rani must be diligent in learning so that later she can be a successful person" I said encouraging Rani.

I was sitting in the classroom when Zen came.

" Beautiful morning. It's getting pretty today." said Zen surprised me who was reading.

I looked back for a moment at her, then looked back at the book again.

" Beautiful as a jutek. Later it will not be the mantu of Mr. Hans loh" he said while chuckling

Hearing the name oom Hans I was interested in looking at him.

" How is oom Hans? You're conscious, right?" ask me enthusiastically

" Cieeee, the future ghost. Start the attention. Later lest the more attention to the in-laws on appeal to the husband." she teased me more.

" Idiih, who is the ex-Hans. People are still not out of words." I replied. I immediately looked away from my face.

I'm really embarrassed. I wish Zen hadn't heard my words just now.

" What's May?" zen asked pretending not to listen.

" Eh, no. I didn't say anything." I replied nervously.

If it can disappear, I want it to disappear from Zen's presence.

Really, I'm so embarrassed.

She smiled so sweetly.

Very sweet of the gulali that is in the night market.

He's getting closer. He grabbed my hand and grabbed it.

" I......"

teng teng teng

He stopped his words and I pulled my hand.

The entrance bell rings.

We laughed each

***

When I get home from school, I want to go home quickly. Because I'm still ashamed of Zen

Suddenly he pulled my hand slowly and then clasped it tightly.

My heart is so pounding.

I'm very groggy.

We also walked to the school garden.

" Why did you bring me here Zen?" ask me plain.

Zen led me to sit on a bench beside a rose and he himself crouched down in front of me.

" What's zen? Don't do it ah. Shame to see people. If you want a romantic snob here. Sit beside me." Prevent me from Zen pepper before many people see it.

" Yeahhh, I want to be rich in May movies. The guy crouches down in front of his girl and then gives her flowers and says love" she said bluntly.

I also laughed reflexively.

I couldn't help but laugh when Zen told me to be rich in those movies.

Zen looked pouted.

His romantic actions failed. And he's down too.

" Zen." call me

" why?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you." I apologized to Zen. I feel guilty for him.

" I like you May. I love you the same. Will you be my girlfriend?" ask Zen to the point.

I scrunched my forehead and said.

" The time of how to shoot it directly to the point is that anyway?" ask Zen.

" You're finally. People want to be romantic eeh even rejected. I was confused where to start. But if you don't start later you are not the ex, Mr. Hans dong" he replied with a grin.

We finally laughed together.

After a few moments of silence,

" How is May?" ask Zen.

" What is Zen? What am I saying?" ask me to pretend I don't understand

" Yes his love. Accepted no?" ask her for certainty

" mmm not accepted, right? I don't know Zen. I asked mom first." I said pretend

" Don't worry, I asked Ms. Yasmin's permission yesterday, and she said it was up to you. If the word papa anyway tell cepet-cepet ngawin even. He can't wait to have a ghost. But do not know also this ghost wants what he does not." replied Zen Long.

" You asked mom?" ask me reassuringly.

" yes. I asked Ms. Yasmin and Aunt Mita for permission, may I ask you to date. Aunt Mita is very supportive. If mother.." she didn't continue the sentence.

" Mom why?" ask me curious.

" Mom allows us to date as long as you don't forget to learn and continue with your ideals." explained Zen made me relieved.

" okay. Alright. I looked up to my mother." I answered at last

" Thank God. Thanks, baby." she said gladly.

" It's the same." I replied.

After that, we went home together.

On the way home, Zen gets a video call from his papa. He put his cellphone on the windshield. Be papa Zen can see the contents of the car.

" Eh Zen, what's the mission today?" ask papa Zen.

" Safe pa. It's look who's next to Zen." Zen pointed his camera at me.

" uh hi Oom. How are you?" ask me while waving my hand.

" Good son of a ghost." she replied.

Zen could only chuckle at his papa behavior.

" Thank you May, I'd like to accept Oom's son. Please help him so he can be your rich good and smart boy. If he's naughty, take his head off. Oom would do it."

" Yeee papa this is what the hell. Zen is now a good boy who has never been naughty again pa." the child did not want to lose to his papa.

I can only smile amusedly looking at her.

" Where's mom?" zen asked his papa.

" Mama came out again. It's a pity that you haven't been able to meet May" said papa Zen.

" Yes yes pa. Later when we meet and in one house we must be left in the kitchen continues. May is a rich mama cooking pinter." said Zen.

" Hahahah yes Zen. Later we will be fat because our wife pinter cook all Zen." papa Zen also responded to Zen's imagination.

I can hear him smiling only myself.

" Yes yes pa, Zen among the ghosts of this papa come home first. Fear will be sought again with his mother. Papa rested again to be healthy and immediately went home" said Zen ended his conversation with oom Hans.

We didn't feel like we were even at the shop.

Shop visitors are always crowded at this break.

Before going down Zen held my hand.

" May, thank you very much. I love you so much."

" yes. I too." I said shyly

" what is May?" ask her

" Yes as you are" I replied blushingly

" Yes but what?" ask her urgently.

" Yes I love you." I finally relented
