Boyfriend Or Friend

Chapter 112

“Zel, there's Vindra below. You grow it long ago get ready. This is the second time you know there is Vindra waiting for you below. You'll be late, Zel, if you're too old. Buruan ah nguncir his hair. Here Mama bantuin. Lagian usually also not painted first, pigtails yes pigtails only,”

Zeline is deliberately stalling. He almost never uses a hair styling tool if going to go to skeolah unless there are certain activities outside the school. It was only this time, so it was no wonder that his mother was confused,

To be honest Zeline is stalling because there is a purpose and of course this is still related to Vindra, but Zeline still hesitates to tell her mother.

“Ma, no already. Let me just. This part udha to finish kok,”

“Ah also said it was ready to finish when Mama came to your room first. But it turns out not yet, you are still not finished also until now,”

“Iya I'm sorry, Ma,”

“Ya already hunted now down,”

Zeline doesn't want to leave with Vindra. Obviously He and Vindra are no longer lovers. Instead of his Mama kept telling him to go down to meet Vindra and they went to school together, eventually Zeline chooses to story now about her relationship with Vindra which is over since they had school activities at the top.

Suddenly Zeline grabbed the hand of her mother who was standing next to her. Zeline turned her seat to face the mother and then she held her mother's hand warmly.

“Why, Son? Anyone want you to talk to Mama ya?” Ask Reta who has been able to guess her child if she wants to vent, or say something that is thought or felt that second.

“Ma, I want to be honest with Mama,”

“Hmm okay, be honest about what, son?”

“I'm the same Vindra actually not dating anymore, Ma. We have broken up,” said Zeline while looking at her mother calmly, as calmly as she explained to her mother about the relationship that had existed for two years with Vindra.

Reta was immediately shocked to hear Zeline's explanation. He really did not expect that Zeline and Vindra were over.

“You really? This is serious, Zel?”

“Iya, Mother. I can't possibly lie. She's not my girlfriend anymore so I'm really lazy to go to school with her,”

“Lho don't be. Did he bother coming here when you weren't with him? Ha although the dictionary ama Vindra udha is not a girlfriend anymore status but you guys ‘kan can still be good friends, Zel. And there is no harm if indeed you want to keep going back and forth together. Do not let the ex be the enemy. You do not want your child to be hated, hated, and vice versa. You guys broke up well ‘kan?”

Zeline just nods her head. He did not want to be honest with his mother that in the beginning before He made the decision to end his relationship with Vindra because he was provoked by the attitude of Vindra that He valued sincerity because Vindra blamed him for the incident experienced anin said it wasn't wrong.

“Truly break up well?”

“Yes I think so,”

“But why is Vindra still coming here huh? And he also did not say anything either Mama or Papa you. He looked ordinary, as if nothing happened between you so that Mama was confused and surprised why did you break up? If you care about his attitude Vindra is ordinary, do not seem to break up from you, and he did not change still invite you here early in the morning to come to school together,”

“Yes that's why I'm confused why he looks ordinary? I broke up though. Ih like not have a face deh, already closed cement times his face. Time is not shy anyway still deketin me even though he is not my girlfriend anymore,”

Reta rubbed her son's shoulder. Reta wants her son to calm down. Reta was able to deduce it seemed like something had happened just before they finally became ex-lovers.

“Mama sure there is a cause you guys break up and I think because it's quite heavy huh? Because if it is not heavy, Mama is sure you will not break up. Means you ‘kan mutusin?” Reta asked which was immediately answered with a nod of her head.

“Yes every time it ends there must be a reason, Ma,”

“Nah okay now you tell me what Vindra did until you finally sentin to not the same Vindra again,”

Reta wants a complete story from Zeline. He is not satisfied if he only knows that his son and his lover have broken up into a pair of lovers, without explaining why, Zeline herself asserts that the end of a relationship must be because there is an underlying reason first.

“Come on you same story Mama. Nothing is covered from Mama, Brother. Let's hunt down the story,”

Reta persuades Zeline to make the story more complete. Reta looked at Zeline's chin, who was silent, considering, should He now convey the reason He broke up with Vindra?

But if he explains what his mother would hate Vindra? He is no longer Vindra's girlfriend but he does not want others to think Vindta is bad name. Vindra was once part of Zeline's life. And Zeline does not want those closest to her hurt even though Vindra is just an ex-lover.

“Ya has already told the story if you have arrived at home. Now you come down and you go to school,”

“Mama means same Vindra?”

“Lho yes, ‘kan emang usually he comes in the morning because he wants to go to school with you, son,”

“For now no, because I'm the same he has nothing to do anymore,”

Reta directly rubbed one of the cheeks of the princess only wayangnya while saying

“Come down, go to school with Vindra. Do not be rejected, kasian he was willing to come to this house to go to school with you turned out you refused. Don't do it, son. May be friends but yes it does not need to be intense because ‘kan is not a girlfriend anymore. You need to know, Mama supports whatever you think is good. Because mama knows you can already mature in making decisions, so mama supports whatever decision you must have thought about first. Let's take the positive side. Means with your breakup with Vindra, you can focus more on learning, reach your goals, yes ‘kan?”

Zeline nodded her head justifying her words. That's what he thinks too. There is a positive side that he can take when breaking up from Vindra.

“Yes who told him to come here? I ‘kan not tell him, Mama. He came here himself. I don't know why he still picked me up. But I didn't ask. Boro-boro ask for a pick-up, he just my condition that abis fell because of the reluctance of the motor aja I fell really bad nanggepinnya,”

“You were nudged by a motor? How did Mama not know? And you look fine on your way home, too. Oh, my God, son. You are-there is. How are you doing now?” Reta asked while watching her daughter's body from top to bottom to make sure she was okay.

Zeline immediately smiled and rubbed her Mama's hand which she held. “Mama calm aja, I'm already okay, after all just a bit kebeset aja hit the asphalt, the same knee bone I had pained because the same touch of asphalt but I was fine anyway, Ma's. So right home Mama did not see the oddity in my body ‘kan?”

Reta nodded her head. He did not know that his son turned out to have an unpleasant incident when he went with his friends to the top because there was a school event that was a routine scout event.

“Yes that's it now you go down. You went to school with Vindra. He already came here. Well if tomorrow you do not want to go with Vindra again maybe you discuss first with Vindra. Talk carefully to him like gini ‘Vin, do not need to pick me up again. I go home alone. Thanks, all this time I've been going home everywhere with me,’ Well if you've talked like that ‘kan it's equally delicious. You are not cruel because you have spoken well, and Vindra will also understand kok,”

“Ya knows dong, meaning you talk well to him. Let's hunt down Kasian Vindra. He has come from his home here, so he can go with you and his attitude has not changed remains Vindra who Mama knows. Vindra still really appreciates Mama Papa, but she was still used to talking to Papa, as well as to Mama. So we should also keep appreciating him,”

Zeline clucked slowly. Imagining going to school with Vindra really made her uncomfortable. But he kept being asked by his mother to come down to meet Vindra and go to school with Vindra.

“Come game, Zel. You don't do this ah. Not good with Vindra. Tomorrow too Vindra may not come to pick you up again after you talk to him, so now consider this the last time Vindra picks you up at home to go to school together,”

Persuade Reta to her surviving child, insisting she will not go down to meet Vindra who she admits is no longer her lover.

“Erghh yes I'm down now,”

Reta smiled as Zeline finally left the chair she was sitting in earlier. Zeline stared at the mirror for a while to make sure that it was neat. He left his room followed by his mother.

Seeing Zeline into the living room, Vindra immediately smiled brightly, but previously moody because he guessed Zeline did not want to go with him so long did not go down.

“Why come here?” Zeline asked, which immediately made Vindra feel hurt, but she kept smiling. He knew Zeline's mood was still not improving.

“I want to go to school with you,”

“Hah? Going to school with me? Why the hell? It's not clear if I'm the same lo it's no relationship anymore,”

“Udah break up yes break up, you have to accept the fact that dong, so if it is really dear and not our relationship why-not, you do not start looking for things first so!”

“Zel, I never considered our relationship hopefully yes. I never want to break up with you. The decision you made was one-sided, and I don't accept it, Zel,”

“You're off to school now, afraid it's late,”

Reta stopped discussing whether or not the relationship between Zeline and Vindra was broken. Honestly, he was anxious because of confusion actually their relationship was over or not. Zeline ended their relationship without discussing it first with Vindra. And because of that Vindra still came here, his attitude as usual, it turns out that Vindra never considered that their hibungan has ended.

“For this time we go together, tomorrow-tomorrow no need,”

“Hmm see tomorrow,” replied Vindra with a nosy smile. Zeline snorted in annoyance. He could have guessed before that Vindra would not be that easy to listen to his words. Vindra is stubborn sometimes.

“Mama, I'm leaving first, Assalamualaikum,”

Zeline said goodbye to her mom. Vindra did the same with Zeline. Because of Vindra's politeness, nothing has changed from Vindra, so Reta thinks that everything is fine.

“Waalaikumsalam be careful yes you guys,”

“Iya, Ma,”

“Iya ready, Aunt. God willing I take care of his son yes, Auntie,”

“Thanks, Vindra. Happy continue yes,”

“Aamiin, similar prayer for Aunt,”

Reta takes her son up to ride on the Vindra motorbike. After the Vindra motorbike drove away from home, then Reta returned to the house.

********

“Zel, I want to ask you something,”

“Aaan anyway? If you're driving again, just drive, focus! Not much for ngockeh,”

Vindra laughed hearing Zeline scold him. Usually Zeline was even happy if chatting with him on the vehicle whether it was a motorcycle or a car.

“Seriously I want to ask you something,”

“Ya already hunted ask while asking it is still allowed for free, if you have paid ‘kan peril, then, because you ask a lot of questions, automatically there will be a lot of money that you have to get out to start the question.

“You deliberately did not come down from the room for a long time? You mean to let me go by myself is that it?”

“Pinter really, not wrong to be my ex. You already know the answer to why it is still,”

“So big is my fault, Zel?”

“No idea ah, I'm lazy to discuss the past,”

“Don't go, Zel, I beg you, don't go anywhere ya,”

“I'm not going anywhere,”

“Duh I mean don't go ninggalin I mean we broke up, and you really make that decision alone when in fact we can talk well,”

“Udahlah, you find your own happiness, I also that,”

“Yes happiness I ‘kan is in you besides my parents and also my family,”

“That's bullshit! Why try to talk like that ‘kan? You think I'm gonna melt? Hahahaha don't expect, I'm comfortable alone without a girlfriend, let alone an ex,” said Zeline directly with a firm tone.
