Cidro (Between Love And Wounds)

Chapter 37

The atmosphere of breakfast turned tense when the sound of objects like slammed. Everything in the dining room turned to the source of the sound.

"Azwan," lirih Citra.

His face turned pale when he saw the look on Azwan's unfriendly face. His eyes glinted in anger. He felt like he was feeling angry at someone.

"Why are you Wan?" Miss Mirna tried to get close to her son.

Azwan only glanced at a glance. He did not answer the mother's question at all. He looked back at Citra sharply. He was angry at the girl.

"Elo why? Elo jealous to hear a close image with another guy?" accuse Anne without further ado.

"Jealous? What does Anne mean?" Mr. Bayu asked with a frown. The man did not understand what his daughter was saying.

"So it was them...."

"So we used to have a group of time doing schoolwork Pa," Citra quickly cut.

Mr. Bayu frowned. The man still did not fully understand what his daughter was saying.

Anne stared at Citra with a look of protest. The image returned Anne's gaze with a plea. He doesn't want his past to be known to many.

"Oh yeah? So Azwan never told me yes," said Ms. Mirna.

Azwan turned his face away while smiling wryly. His heart seemed to be sliced when Citra did not acknowledge him as her former lover.

"Yes, Azwan may not have the time to tell Ma," Citra replied lying.

Mr. Bayu looked into the princess's eyes. The man seemed to be searching for the truth in the princess' eyes.

The image realized the father's gaze. He smiled to hide his nervousness.

"Maybe Azwan is ashamed of Ma. She's anti-fussy" said Anne.

The image nudged his sister's arm. Warn Anne not to talk.

"Oh yeah?" Mr. Bayu said Anne while glancing at Azwan who was sitting opposite him.

Azwan turned his face when he looked at his father. However, his eyes were in contact with Citra. There was a wound that re-gaped when looking into the eyes of Citra.

"I'm sorry everyone" said Bi Lani who walked in a row from the outside.

"What's Bi?" ask Miss Mirna.

"That's Mom. In front there are people nyariin Non Citra," replied Bi Lani.

Anne smiled wryly as she looked towards Citra. Her desire to tease Citra came back after being marred by the tense atmosphere just now.

"Who's Bi?" This time, Mr. Bayu asked.

"I don't know, sir. But the guy's tall. Whiter. The handsome again," Bi Lani replied mentioning the characteristics of the guest.

"high? The whites? A handsome? Who is the guest who is looking for Citra?" asked Azwan inwardly.

"Send to enter Bi. I will be there soon" said Mr. Bayu.

Ms. Mirna looked at the husband with her eyebrows adrift. The woman protested her husband's actions.

"Well sir" said Bi Lani. Then the woman immediately came forward to inform the guest.

"Cie... Prince picked up the story!" goda Anne's.

"When was the son of the mother invited by the prince to the house?" Asked Bu Mirna while glancing at the princess.

"Mama what the hell. Let me pick up a guy, Mama's shocked again" said Anne.

"Papa ahead first yes. If suitable can be directly recruited as a son-in-law," said Mr. Bayu.

The image knitted both of his eyebrows. He was shocked and astonished by Mr. Bayu's speech. While Anne even more excited to tease Citra.

"Cie. cie. got the green light from Papa" he said.

Azwan smiled wryly upon hearing Anne's words. She pretended to enjoy her breakfast even though she was angry and jealous in her heart.

"I totally agree that you are the same Mr. Tian" Anne said.

The image did not respond to Anne's words. He pretended to enjoy his breakfast which was almost finished off his plate.

"Mama agrees too. Even though Mama has never met anyone. But hearing Anne's story, Mama was sure she was a good person" said Ms Mirna.

The image fell silent to hear the words of the mother. In her heart she confirmed every word that came out of her mother's mouth.

"From the outside good is not necessarily good also in it," said Azwan.

The image heard what Azwan said. But he chose silence and ignored it. He doesn't want to make a fuss in his new home.

"Have you told me your home address here to Mr Tian?" ask Anne.

"Udah. At dawn, Mr. Tian called me again. Yes, I have shared the home address here," replied Citra.

Hearing Citra say the name gently, Azwan's heart grew hotter. He still does not accept if Citra is happy together with others. Suddenly, Azwan slammed his spoon onto the plate. And without saying anything, he left the dining room.

The image stared at Azwan's departure with a feeling of sadness. Honestly, he didn't want Azwan to turn out like this. Even though they have broken up, but the love of the image to him certainly still exists.

"Yuk Cit, we're ahead!" bring Anne.

The image turned and nodded its head. Then he got up from the chair and took his old dinner plate to the kitchen.

"Why are you carrying a plate?" ask Anne.

"You're machined. After eating we have to finish our own place to eat." Citra replied as she stepped into the kitchen.

"I'm doing it too" said Anne following what Citra did.

Miss Mirna smiled to see the child doing good habits like this. In my heart, the woman felt grateful. With the image in this house, he hopes to set a good example for others.

Citra and Anne walked towards the living room in tandem. Sometimes their laughter is heard. Suddenly the steps of Citra stopped on the stairs. His eyes stared at a guest with a look of disbelief.

"Mas Hardcore!" ogre.

*****

Today Tian felt very happy. Last night, Citra told him that her father wanted to meet her. His heart flowered because it felt getting a blessing lamp from Citra's father.

A smile cannot be separated from his handsome face. She felt very happy because of dawn, Citra gave her a new address.

Tian was ready to leave. Bu Hamidah looked astonished to see the child who kept smiling happily.

"Waduh... Waduh like someone else is happy?" said Bu Hamidah.

Tian turned to look at the mother. "Doain Tian ya Ma'am. Doain Tian managed to get the girls together" Tian said.

Bu Hamidah knitted his eyebrows together. "girls? Which boy?" ask Bu Hamidah.

"Name Citra. He was one of my students at school. But even if she's 16, she's a real grown-up, ma'am." Tian explained the image to the mother.

Bu Hamidah looked surprised at Tian's explanation. But a moment later the hijab-wearing woman nodded her head.

"Know to Mom" said the mother at last.

"Yes. Later if I succeed deletin him. I must have brought him home and known him to Mother" Tian replied.

Hamidah smiled. He was grateful that Tian was willing to open his heart again after what happened in his past life. But he was also a little worried that the child would get hurt again.

"Tian left first yes," said Tian to the Mother.

"Don't eat Yan yet?" ask Bu Hamidah.

"No need to ma'am. It's noon. Have breakfast with your boyfriend." Tian smiled as he said that.

"Yes already. Carefully depart. Don't speed it up. Remember that if it works, bring the girl home. I want to know him." Hamidah warned the child.

"Yes Mom. Tian promise. Then Tian left first. Assalamu'alaikum" Tian said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" replied Hamidah.

Tian immediately climbed onto his big motorbike after saying goodbye to his mother. He drove his bike at high speed. Every now and then he glanced at the watch that was coiling in his hand. Tian also added that his motorbike became increasingly uncontrollable.

The streets this morning were pretty crowded. Tian stopped his motorbike while at a red light. After the light turned green, he returned to the motor.

At his house, Citra was still waiting for Tian's arrival. He waited with anxious and worried feelings. He doesn't usually feel like this.

"Partner, I'm sorry."

Suddenly, a loud speech came back to his ear. Yep! Harder had just arrived to apologize to him. The image did not heed the apology. But finally he was willing to forgive Tegar.

"Not come yet Cit?" ask Mr. Bayu.

"not yet Pa. Maybe it's still on the way" Citra replied.

Suddenly the phone in his hand rang. A line of nameless numbers appeared on his phone screen. The image seemed doubtful as it was about to lift it.

"Hello, good morning" said someone across the phone.
