BEREAVEMENTS

Episode 6; Sudden Confession

“Why is Mas so good with Lena?”

Renov did not immediately answer Lena's question. He looked at Lena in silence. As if you were thinking about telling the truth or not. After the ceremony in the auditorium, the girl caught his attention. Renov silently watched Lena from a distance. He knows that he is interested in Lena.

Lena always looks cheerful when with her friends. But the next second, without realizing it his face always looks so cloudy. In Renov's eyes, Lena was hiding something. Renov looked at the girl's world as if it was about to collapse at any moment. That feeling was very disturbing to Renov. He wanted to be the one to make the sadness in Lena's eyes disappear.

“Mas..” Lena turned her eyes. Renov's eyes made him feel like escaping from there. Lena removed her seatbelt and hurriedly got out of Renov's car.

“Now I ask, should there always be a reason to do good?” renov's question made Lena stop walking. The man was not wrong, so Lena asked herself.

“No..” Lena admitted. He walked ahead of Renov.

“Lo have a girlfriend?” renov's question suddenly made Lena stop her steps a second time and turn to Renov in shock.

“Ti...no, why?” lena replied nervously. Can't Renov ask her out?

“Owh, great. So no one gets angry if I don't eat. I just want to eat. Wh why? Yes, because I'm laper..” Renov grinned when he saw Lena who turned her body suddenly. The girl looked.. disappointed?

“We haven't eaten since last afternoon? Do you want me to wait for someone who sleeps like a fainted person?” Lena stared intently at Renov. Why does he always tease her like that anyway?

“Mas who paid ya!” Lena then walked away from Renov. Renov followed Lena with a big smile after successfully teasing her.

Renov decided to say his feelings next time. Renov saw that the girl before him was still full of mystery. He seems to be at war with himself, and this is not the time to interfere with that war.

“His dinner-slows..” scolds Renov when he sees Lena eating in a hurry. He watched Lena closely, “does our school children know that their idol eats like a bar-bar guy?”

“Who is an idol? Me?” lena's eyes glared in disbelief.

“Iya, elo popular, you don't know?” Lena answered Renov's question with the trousers.

“How many guys have you shot?” renov's question made Lena choke. Although Renov felt guilty, he laughed as he extended drinking water to Lena. The girl looked so innocent in his eyes.

“Don't mock, never existed!” Lena held Renov down after his cough subsided. He then turned his face when he saw Renov still smiling widely in front of him. Why does he always see the other side of Renov that makes his heart shake like this?

“Bener also..” Renov seemed to think, “there are only two types of women who are very difficult to get a boyfriend. First, because the girl is too uncaring and second because the girl is too popular, the two types are the longest and last longer.” Renov spirit, “and elo it looks like both. Popular and don't care!”

“Conclusion from where! Nawdle! Which one is it yourself? Oh because Mas is too popular so cold guy in this school huh?” unknowingly Lena loses her composure and gets carried away by Renov's temptation, making Renov laugh out loud. Satisfied had destroyed Lena's once-quiet defensive wall.

“Emang ngarang, but based on observation, actually also tuh lo say. I'm that popular, huh?” Renov is actually acting arrogant, the more tempting Lena.

“Ohh, so this Mas is secretly observing! Basic guy!”

“Mas also don't have a girlfriend?” Lena dared to ask.

“Ehm, according to my theory earlier, because I was too popular so I also do not have.” Renov smiled this time. The smile that made Lena turn her face again. Why did the man in front of her suddenly look so charming? Lena became greedy, wanting to see more of Renov's facial expressions that were rarely shown to others.

“Because we are so popular that we do not have a boyfriend, should we just date?” renov's question made Lena turn her head, she did not believe what she had heard from Renov. Their eyes met, making her heart shake uncontrollably, her hands began to sweat and Lena lost her words. He knew that Renov was serious about his words because this man looked at him with eyes filled with such confidence.

Although Renov was also surprised by his own words, he gulped nervously waiting for Lena to react to his carelessness. The two of them looked at each other for quite a long time without saying anything.

“Mas... Lena..” Lena wanted to end this awkwardness.

“I know. Sorry I slipped..” Renov scratched his non-itchy head.

“Mas kidding right yes, ha ha ha..” Lena laughed awkwardly, looking once contrived.

“No! I'm not kidding, I can't joke about ginian. But I know this is not the time for you or me to date. Take your time..” Renov touched the tip of Lena's head while smiling gently, “yuk, I anterin elo go home..” Renov precedes Lena to walk towards the cashier.

Lena looked at the back before her with a trembling heart. He does not understand what love is, he does not know what the meaning of dating relationship. But Renov's questions can't make him unhappy. He was very grateful that someone was watching him like this, making him want to momentarily let go of all his burdens and lean on his shoulder.

Renov looked back at Lena's overcast face standing next to him. He felt Lena carrying a heavy burden on his tiny shoulders. Lena didn't even know Renov was done paying. Renov then patted Lena on both shoulders and pushed her out of the resto.

“Mas!” Lena shouted as Renov suddenly ran without taking his hand off his shoulder. Lena would not want to come running to compensate for Renov's strength, otherwise he could fall down, not to mention if Renov also fell on him.

The man laughed happily when he got in the car.

Although Lena was upset by Renov's breezy attitude, she was grateful Renov did. Without Renov realizing it he lifted the pressure on Lena's shoulders even for a moment.

“Mas thanks ya for today..” say goodbye to Lena when they have arrived in front of her house.

“You want me anterin in?” Renov glanced at Lena's dark house. No lights on his house yet. Does he live alone?

“No need, maybe Dad hasn't come home yet, so it's still dark. Don't worry..” Lena got out of the car and into her house after waving at Renov.

Renov glanced at his car dashboard. At nine o'clock in the evening, why hasn't his father come home so late? Renov banished his bad thoughts. He then stepped on the gas pedal leaving Lena's residence.
