Break Up But Get Married

Eight

It was noon by the time Viola and Joe arrived at the funeral. Joe sat down next to the tomb and placed the flowers he was carrying near the tombstone. While Viola just stood behind Joe while staring at the man's back.

Viola knows, now Joe is very sad. One year of living life without his mother must be hard, what else his father is always busy with work and happy to play women. If Viola were to be Joe, he would definitely not be strong.

Joe sat quietly in front of the tomb for a long time and Viola was still standing behind him.

“Sorry yes Mah, I rarely come here,” finally Joe started to make a sound. “Viola is also here to see Mama,” he continued while looking at Viola.

Viola, who had been standing, sat next to Joe. While still alive, Joe's mother was very happy when she saw Viola. She had no daughters, so she loved Viola very much.

“Iya Aunty, this is Viola. Aunty there is calm, Joe is fine. He's an adult and not naughty anymore, if he's naughty Aunt can pinch Viola's hand to mengejewer his ears.”

Joe even chuckled at Viola's words, Viola could talk like that.

“Vi, go home yuk. Later to hunt in the afternoon, if you nyariin how?” Take Joe.

“Eh yes, already half three nih,” reply Viola while looking at Joe's watch.

“Mah, we go home first yes,” said Joe, after that he and Viola directly left the tomb.

Viola was silent again as he and Joe were on the way. Actually he's hungry, it's past lunchtime and wants to go home soon.

“Lo laper no?” Joe suddenly asked because he also felt what Viola was feeling.

“Lit,” replied Viola.

“Gue laper really, belom eat from the morning. Eat first yuk. But, if you want to go straight home anyway gapapa, afraid of brother lo nyariin if you go home kesorean,” said Joe.

“Hah? You haven't eaten since morning? Lo how the hell? I know at home you no one cooks, you learn to cook yourself dong! Every day I think you can get sick. How sick are you?” Suddenly Viola nagged Joe, and the man just dumbfounded into getting a scolding from his ex-girlfriend.

“Eh sorry.” However, Viola realized he had gone overboard. Joe is no longer his girlfriend, so why nag him.

“Ya already, we go straight home,” Joe said.

“No, you have to eat first. Our journey is still far away. If you keep getting into accidents, how do I?”

“Do not speak strangely! Want to eat ramen?” joe asked as he looked at the ramen shop ahead.

“lo should eat rice, not ramen,” again Viola nagged.

“Ya has passed.”

Joe resigned with Viola's Omelette, then he looked for a restaurant that sold rice.

After fifteen minutes of searching, Joe and Viola finally found a small, but quite crowded, tavern. Joe parked the car and they both went downstairs and went into the store.

They ordered food and sat at one of the tables waiting for the order to arrive.

“Sorry me,” suddenly Joe said and made Viola confused.

“Create?” ask Viola.

“I have been wrong with you,” replied Joe.

“Emang lo feel got it wrong?”

“Maybe.”

Joe already knows why Viola decided. For a week he kept finding out and asking his friends. But, everyone says the same thing. Joe is too careless and inattentive, after thinking about it, Joe did feel his attitude had been like that to Viola. But, that doesn't mean Joe doesn't care, he's just not used to being sweet and considerate.

“Yes, I do not think there is anything wrong,” said Viola.

“Eh Vi's. Who was that guy then?” Suddenly Joe asked.

which “Cowok?”

“Doctor time in Bandung it.” said Joe

“Oh. My ex,” replied Viola, he purposely said that out of curiosity for Joe's reaction. But, what he expected, Joe did not act anything.

“Oh, former lo,” is all that Joe says with a casual expression.

“Thank you Joe,” Viola said as he got out of Joe's car. It was late in the afternoon and Viola had just arrived in front of the house after being driven home by Joe.

“Gue is a thanks. Mama must be seneng lo dateng.”

“Sama-sama Joe's. Uh, the file do not forget yes so that tomorrow I can directly work!”

“Oke.”

“Viola!” Joe called Viola.

“Why?”

“Right so. Login!” exclaim Joe.

“Clearly,” said Viola then continued his steps. Joe also stepped on the gas pedal and left.

Actually Joe intends to invite Viola back, regardless Viola want to accept it again or not. Joe wanted to try it. But now seems like not the right time. Inviting Viola back, meaning Joe must be ready to change and improve his attitude.

“That's Joe's car,” Alice said as Viola walked into the house. Apparently Alice peeked out from behind the window.

“Ngagetin aja lo,” said Viola was upset that Alice appeared suddenly from behind the door.

“Joe nganterin lo go home?” ask Alice in curiosity.

“Emang why? Can't you?” Reply Viola.

“Something will reverse nih.” Alice smiled mischievously and began to tease Viola.

“What the hell not,” object Viola.

“Continue taking home everything?”

“We're out of eating his mom Joe. Today is the anniversary of his mother's death, I'm not happy if I don't come,” explained Viola while walking up the stairs to his room on the second floor.

“Oooohhhh.” Alice nodded her head. “But, Vi. What if Jie does not return, you will receive not?”

“Ngapain is like that? There's no way he's ripping back.”

“Yes if he really did back up?”

“Yes I'm depending on whether he wants to change. What is the same for?”

“Means you still have the same feeling dong Joe?” alice teased Viola.

“Mama with Papa when to go home?” Viola switched the conversation, he asked his parents who were going to Bali for a business trip.

“Tomorrow kayaks. Do not know also,” replied Alice while laying her body on the mattress Viola. “Eh, Vi.”

“What?”

“Rio invites me to marry.”

“Hah seriously? Really, you brother? No lie, right?” Viola immediately excited himself when he heard Alice was invited to marry by his girlfriend.

“Ya really. But, I'm confused, Rio not ngizinin I work again if we're married.”

“Ya is good. Why are we tired of working if we are married?ininrus home with kids already!” exclaim Viola lightly.

“Yee .. lo easy speaking. So the lawyer was my dream since childhood, a new period of a few years has stopped.”

“Ya continues? you don't want to marry Rio?”

“Ya is not like.”

Alice is confused about her future, getting married is not an easy affair.

“Vi ...” Alice called Viola again, but her sister did not reply. “Viola?” reworked. “Yes Vi, lo why?” Alice was immediately startled when she saw Viola sitting on the study chair while holding her chest.

“I'm sick again, sister,” Viola replied as she grimaced holding onto her aching chest.

“Lo why? The medicine is already taken?” alice asked in panic.

“So missed at home, so I didn't drink.”

“Jeez Vi. lo how the hell is it? Cepetan taking medicine now!” exclaimed Alice who immediately took the medicine from the top of the Viola dressing table.

After taking the medication, Viola started to improve. Alice was worried.

“Vi, mending you don't have to go to college first, you have to rest enough! If you need to take a leave of absence for this semester!”

“But, Brother?”

“Please Vi, don't make me, Same mom Papa worry!”
