Chapter 34 ~Texpected~

“The future depends on what you did today and yesterday.”

mahatma Gandhi -

“Hoamm ...,” Yogi yawns. One of his hands closed his mouth wide open. At the corner of the eye, there is a puddle of water that causes blurry vision.

He immediately wiped away those tears. Then, to two hands hidden in the jacket pocket. Just avoid cold air that pierces the surface of the skin.

Slowly, he raised his face, staring at the sky that was immersed in blue. A smile of the sun in the eastern sky, spread blessings on the world that was just starting the day. There was a speck of water vapor up there, marching in the wind. The birds fly in groups, foraging in nearby rice fields.

Broom ..., the sound of a two-wheeled vehicle piercing the ear. His attention was on the vehicle, but the vehicle soon drifted away and disappeared in the distance. Eventually he lost an object to notice.

After eating ice cream with Lia, last night, she returned home. However, he still could not believe the fact that Lia had managed to spend more ice cream than him. It wasn't a competition, but it made her think that Lia had a magic pouch on her stomach. If that was true, then he would not be surprised at the fact that Lia could spend more rice than him.

She never thought that being alone with Lia could be fun. Although they did not go anywhere after eating ice cream, but he enjoyed the wasted time.

He could even laugh out loud together with the girl. Maybe it was because their personalities matched up, or maybe it was because of the chatty Lia. However, whatever the reason, Lia had truly become a pleasant friend.

The little girl could smile broadly at anyone, always laughing, careless, and annoying. That girl can bring any color to anyone. If she continues to be with Lia, maybe she could end up falling in love.

Steps ceased. His attention locked the tip of the shoe, as well as paving that absorbed all the kirana.

The heat of the sun did not reach him. However, the heart has given a taste. He was drowning in comfort, covered in body-piercing ice. A girl smiled in his mind. Not Renata, but Lia.

It all feels comfortable, fun. He smiled, realizing that the distance between himself and Lia was thinning. The girl completely collapsed the distance, approaching her tirelessly until she dared to accept the girl by her side.

“I did not expect that he could be my close friend,” muttered as he took a step back.

He's been friends with Rizki for two years. During that time, he was still trying to find some things about Rizki. However, he had only known Lia for a few weeks. However, he felt that he had known the noisy girl for three years. Either because Lia was too attached to her or because she gave up on staying away from Lia, but she didn't care about the reason. What she knows is that Lia could be her close friend, though unreliable like Rizki who has a watered-down brain.

He raised his face, staring at the pavement that was inundated by the sea of humans. Most of them were wearing uniforms, like his. But with a different jacket. Maybe that is the only thing that distinguishes one student from another.

”Yo!” someone patted his shoulder. When he turned around, to the back, he found a lazy-faced Rizki.

“Ah, morning,” reply.

“Pagi.” Rizki walked to the side.

They also walked down the sidewalk together. Not revealing anything, letting the silence wrap up the atmosphere.

“How much did you spend for the girl?” Rizki throws an unexpected question.

“You mean, Lia?” Rizki nodded. “RP. 97,000,- for a bowl of ice cream. That's a big serving with five different flavors, including toping.”

“I can imagine it,” replied Rizki while patting her shoulder.

“Yeah, but I enjoyed the time with him,” reply was short.

“Well, I get your point. The girl can change her attitude towards the interlocutor.”

“What do you mean?” Yogi tilts his face.

“When he was near me, he always talked about books. However, the girl was also jolly and often shouted. I was annoyed with that, but the girl smiled brightly, too bright just for a smile.” Rizki turned away from him, staring at the sidewalk that became the foothold.

For the first time, he saw Rizki like that. Usually Rizki cares less about people around. Rizki can even drink iced oranges when classmates fight in front. Rizki only shows various expressions to certain people, such as him and Kak. Yuuta. However, I don't know what possessed Rizki to make a grim face for Lia.

“Looks like you saw a lot of things from Lia,” he replied briefly.

“Not really,”Reported Rizki after sighing. “I just like the nature of the girl, although a little noisy.”

Usually Rizki avoids people like Lia, even Rizki tries to avoid her when she first meets. However, maybe Rizki only wants people who don't give up on her. After all, humans cannot live alone.

“Well, I feel the same way. The girl completely broke my resentment towards her, making me want to continue to be friends with her,” she replied.

“Alright, enough about Lia,” Rizki runs faster.

“Oi, wait!” he shouted while jumping forward, catching up with Rizki. “Ouch! Goddamnit! Why did you stop?” Yogi hits Rizki's back.

“See! Someone left for school in the car.” Rizki pointed to a car, which stopped, not far from the school gate.

With jet black paint, reflect each particle of light to the eye. With a silver rim that fell with the rays of the sun.

“That's four-wheeled,” Yogi said.

“Do you really think there's a three-wheeler?”

“Bajaj”

“Oh, quiet!”

“Hehehe ...,” a short joke before their attention was again glued to the car.

When the door opened, a man got out of the car. The man was wearing a black, neat suit, wearing black glasses and a stocky body.

Automatically, everyone's attention shifts to the man. You may wonder who and why that person is. However, Yogi tilted his face. The man gave off a sense of familiarity, but he could not remember the man's face or name.

The man moved to the back seat. The glasses were opened, showing a bright face with neat jet hair.

“Ah,” muttered and Rizki together.

The man opened the back door. A familiar face was seen in the narrow room. A girl was there, wearing a full uniform with two shoes attached to two legs.

“Thank you, Om!” lia said while jumping out.

“Sama-sama,” replied the man.

Not long after, another girl showed herself. The girl had black hair, long. Unlike Lia who jumped, the girl descended gently like a princess from an imaginary land.

The princess was assisted by two of her bodyguards. Just make sure that the princess does not fall.

“Ah, Brother. Yogis! Rizki!”Lia waved at him.

For a moment, he exchanged glances with Rizki. However, they turned and rushed over.

“Morning,” he said and Rizki, alternately.

“Morning,” Reply Lia and Renata.

“Morning too,” replied Renata's father. “Aren't you Yogi?” Renata's father patted her on the shoulder.

“Eh? Yes, I'm Yogi. What's wrong, Om?” yogi's heart raced with time, thinking about what he had done until Renata's father patted him on the shoulder like that.

“Thank you for taking care of Rena yesterday. Next time, come over to our house! We will welcome you with open arms.” Renata's father smiled at her.

“Ah, sure. I'll visit next time,” reply with a smile. He thought he made a mistake.

“Then can I hand Rena over to you? I have to go to the office and this girl does not want to leave school for a day,” Renata's father stroked Renata's hair.

“Dad,” reply Renata while dispelling the big hand.

“Sure. Om, can hand Rena over to us. Yogi has a strong body. She can definitely carry Rena anywhere,” replied Lia.

“That's not something you can be proud of,” reply Rizki and Yogi, simultaneously.

“Hehehe ..” Lia laughed wryly.

“Alright, I leave him to you,” Renata's father said before entering the car and running the motor vehicle.

When the car vanishes in the neighborhood, they stare at each other.

“Why were you in that car?” ask Rizki to Lia.

“I was given a ride,” replied Lia while making a two-finger lift.

“What are your residences close to? But if that's true, why don't you change your clothes before you did yesterday's assignment?” ask Yogi.

“Ah, not like that. I realized that Lia was walking on the sidewalk, not far from here. So, Dad gave me a ride,” Renata explained.

“Yes, because angkot will not enter the village. So, I have to walk here,” added Lia.

“Well, let's put that aside! Renata, can you walk?” Rizki throws questions.

“Can, but limps,” Renata smiles wryly.

“You want to take it to class?” Yogi offers help.

“Emmm ..., that ...,” Renata hesitate to answer. However, he also hopes that Renata refuses because his heart is not calm and continues to pump blood excessively.

“No! Rena I'll help Rena!” Lia.

“I agree,” replied Renata.

“Then why did you say that Yogi could carry her earlier?” Rizki.

“So Renata's father isn't worried.”

“Forget it!” said Yogi, “let me at least bring your bag,” he continued, extending a hand to Renata.

“It ...,” Renata still in doubt.

“I forced,” added.

“Take care! Or he won't stop,” Rizki gave advice.

“Alright, thank you,” said Renata as she gave him the bag . He also accepted it.

Lia approached Renata, carrying Renata on her shoulders and began to approach the school gate, while she and Rizki followed behind.

Hello everyone, Author greets you here.

Ah, I still remember when I started the Bride project. I was completely immersed in thinking about her character and now I have just inserted an inner trouble for Lia and Renata.

However, it seems that very few are aware of it. Even if you know it, I beg you not to divulge it.

And we're starting to enter the middle of volume 1. Honestly, I thought about the right conflict for the problem of teenage romance Junior High. However, it seems like I will be able to write it down in a few days. I hope that.
