Cidro (Between Love And Wounds)

Chapter 19

Satria tiba di kantor dengan wajah di tekuk. Hatinya yang semula merasa berbunga-bunga tiba-tiba saja berubah menjadi mendung.

"Why are you Sat?" ask Mr. Hans, the commander in his unit.

"Eh Mr. Hans. It's okay, sir," Satria replied lying. The young man forced his smile.

Mr. Hans did not ask any more even though in his heart the man still held a curiosity.

"Oh yes Sat. Yesterday something happened to you" said Mr. Hans.

Both eyebrows are adrift perfectly. "Who Sir?" tanyakanya.

"I don't know his name. But she's obviously beautiful." Mr. Hans explained with a meaningful smile.

"He...woman?" ask Satria again.

Mr. Hans rolled his eyes lazily. Yes, obviously women. It is obvious that she is beautiful. What is this Satria?

"Yes. You guys are beautiful" replied Mr. Hans.

Satria smiled at the reply from Mr. Hans. "Yes, sir. Now there are many lady boy-lady boy like in Thailand," said Satria.

"It can be you. Do you want a lady boy to get you?"

Satria chuckled at Mr. Hans' words. Then he said, "yes sir. I'm still normal. There are so many cute girls in the world."

Mr. Hans just smiled in response to Satria's words. The middle-aged man then stood up from his seat and prepared to carry out the apple this morning.

Meanwhile at school, Citra gets a 'surprise' from Shintya. The girl poured the laundry water into Citra's body. Just contact the whole body Citra soaked and smelly.

"It's not quite how you treated me last night" Shintya said.

The image looked at Shintya's face with a gaze that was difficult to decipher. He had not expected to get this kind of treatment from Shintya.

"This is not how yes. Elo is still Azwan. I will make you suffer and not be at home school here." Shintya threatened Citra while pointing right at Citra's face.

Hearing Shintya's threat, Citra was silent. He did not resist or reply to Shintya.

Many students saw the incident. Including the newly arrived Arga and Anne. Arga and Anne immediately ran towards Citra. They immediately approached the friend with a questionable feeling.

"Why are you Cit?" ask Arga.

"Why are you soaking wet like this?" This time Anne asked.

Now his eyes were looking towards Shintya. "Elo what the hell is Shin?"

Shintya smiled cynically at Anne's question.

"What is the same wrong image? Until you can admit this to him?" ask Anne.

Shintya looked at Anne sharply. His eyes implied his dislike to the girl who was now standing in front of him.

"He deserved this. Let him know who he really is. Let her not belagu and pretentious to be a girl," said Shintya with a high tone.

Anne clenched both her hands after hearing Shintya's words. His face flushed holding back an growl.

Shintya walked over towards Anne. Then the girl whispered something in her ear.

"Don't be a hero for a girl s****n that is. And one more thing, don't interfere in my business. If you still interfere too, you will know the consequences" he threatened.

Anne smiled a slanted smile. The girl was not at all afraid of Shintya's threat.

"Gue wasn't afraid of elo threats. I will protect and guard Citra from hypocrites like Elo and Azwan" said Anne fearlessly. After saying so, Anne turned around and approached Citra.

"Partner" call Anne.

Citra turned her head and put her pure smile on her sweet face.

"I'm fine Ga, An. I used to be like this," Citra said. A sweet smile was still etched on his face.

Anne just shakes her head. He no longer understood the image. When you are humiliated like this, he can still carve a smile.

"I'm anterin you're home." Arga embraced Citra's shoulder while looking into the girl's eyes.

"Yes Citra. You take a shower and change your clothes first. Later let me give permission to the picket teacher," said Anne.

The image nodded its head. He then follows Arga and Citra's steps into the parking lot. Just then a teacher approached them.

"Lho what is this?" ask the teacher.

"You why Citra? Why are your clothes wet like this?" The teacher asked as he looked at Citra in surprise.

"That's Mr. Citra...."

"So I fell and fell down the gutter sir. That's why my clothes are all wet," cut the image quickly.

Anne looked at Citra with a frown. He did not understand why Citra had to cover up Shintya's actions that were beyond that limit.

The teacher was mangosteen to hear Citra's explanation.

"Yes already then. You deliver Citra ya Arga." The teacher said as he stared at Arga.

Arga nodded his head in response. After saying goodbye, he immediately passed from before his teacher and continued his steps towards the parking lot.

The day has gone by noon. Wiwit seemed to be getting ready for rest and lunch. He opened the box he had brought from home.

"Bring Wit?" reprimand Alice, one of her co-workers.

"Yes Al. Let's save money" replied Wiwit.

Alice chuckled at Wiwit's reply. He knows very well the nature of this co-worker. Who cannot eat carelessly.

"Yes, he understands me. I wish you could have your plan realized."

"Amin..," said Clarissa, one of Wiwit's colleagues.

Wiwit and Alice turned their heads when they heard Clarisa's voice.

"Amen.... Amen I was the most fast anyway," he said again as he stood beside Alice.

Wiwit smiled at Clarissa's words. "Amin..thank you for the prayer" said Wiwit.

"Al I'm taking you to the campus." Wiwit turned his gaze towards Alice who was next to him.

Alice held out her two thumbs while smiling sweetly.

"Your true lectures. I can be proud of my parents" Clarisa said.

"Yes the boss' mother" said Alice.

Wiwit just smiled at the two coworkers' jabs.

The break time is over. The clock shows at 13:00. Wiwit looked like he was tidying up his things. He has to go to college for college this afternoon.

"No need to rush Wit. I'm waiting for you" said Alice.

Wiwit looked at Alice and smiled. In his heart he was very grateful for being allowed to go to college by his boss. He is also grateful for having a pleasant workmate and always supports himself.

"Yuk left," Wiwit asked after he finished getting ready.

Alice glanced at the circular watch on her wrist.

"okay."

Both of them then moved from the store after previously saying goodbye to their boss.

"We stopped by the cake shop first. I'm gonna take the order, " said Alice.

"OK," replied Wiwit short.

Alice climbs onto her motorbike followed by Wiwit later. The two were together because they both happened to be from the same campus.

The motor continues to split the streets. They didn't feel like they were in front of the cake shop. Alice parked her bike and immediately got off the bike.

"Wait a moment" said Alice.

Wiwit nodded his head. He waited for Alice in the motor park. To repel saturation, Wiwit plays his phone. He opened his social media and gave some comments on the posts of his friends.

Tired of playing the phone, Wiwit seemed to circulate his eyes around the cake shop. Her pretty face seemed to be enjoying the air that afternoon which was not too hot.

A car seemed to have just entered the cake shop's parking lot. Wiwit watched the car carefully. He seems to know the owner of the car.

Wiwit continued to focus his eyes on the car. Until a painful sight appeared before his eyes. A sight that made his heart ache and sting.
