Cidro (Between Love And Wounds)

Chapter 50

Suara dering ponsel membuyarkan lamunan Tian. Pemuda itu sedikit terlonjak kaget saat mendengar ponselnya berdering.

Tian picked up his phone which he put on the table. Tian read the name on his phone screen. A happy smile was immediately engraved when he saw who called him.

"Assalamu'alaikum," said a voice.

Tian's heart flowered when he heard the soft voice. His heart was beating faster than usual when he heard a voice he had not heard today.

"Wa-wa'alaikumusalam Citra," Tian replied in a nervous voice.

The image reviewed a smile upon hearing the reply from Tian. Then he said, "I miss you."

Tian was shocked when he heard Citra say kangen. His body seemed to be floating into space. His heart was filled with blooming flowers. His heart was beating dozens of times faster than usual.

"I also miss you Citra" he said.

"Well! What Sir? What did Mr Tian say?" ask Citra.

"I miss you too Citra" he repeated.

The image frowned. He was astonished by Tian's words.

"Kangens? Who misses the same father?" abugn.

Tian's smile receded instantly as Citra said that. He then pulled his phone from his ear. He read once again the identity on his phone screen.

"Eh that.. anu.. I was... just...."

The image increasingly frowned. He did not understand the behavior of his teacher.

"I just wanted to say thanks. Because I want to see you in the hospital. And thank you also for bothering to take my report card," Citra said.

"Oh... Yes equally. I'm happy to be able to help you" he said at last.

Silence enveloped the two. No sound came out of the mouths of the two. Sometimes I hear breaths of both.

"Where are you now?" tian asked after a moment of silence.

"Alhamdulillah has been quiet. Now you can walk alone," replied Citra.

Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Citra's words.

"Alhamdulillah then. When can I go home?" ask Tian.

"Don't know yet. Still waiting for the results of tomorrow's check. If everything is good, maybe the day after tomorrow you can go home" replied Citra.

Tian mangosteen heard Citra's reply. In his heart he prayed for Citra to recover from her pain.

"Em. I hung up on you, sir. I want to rest" Citra said.

"Yes. Enough rest yes. Let's go home soon" Tian said.

Smiling image. "Yes Sir. Thanks again sir. I've been looking and doain me."

"Together Image."

"May Mr and Ms. Luna be happy" Citra said.

Tian choked when he heard Citra's shrill voice. Although it was shrill, but Tian could still hear it.

"You misunderstood. I'm the same Miss Luna...."

"Tut.. jin.. tut!" phone disconnected.

"Hello Citra! Hello!"

Tian rubbed his face violently. There was a speck of guilt lodged within him. Why didn't he just explain his relationship with Luna? Why did he not explain who ruled his heart at this time.

"Aarrrggghhh!"

Tian shouted furiously. His chest felt tight to find the reality before his eyes. Now he was afraid that Citra would really stay away from him. He was afraid that Citra would turn away from him. He couldn't stay away from that girl.

...****************...

Tian went through the night with all the rest in his chest. He couldn't sleep well last night. His mind was fixed on Citra's last words before hanging up the phone.

"The image must have misunderstood me. I have to straighten out what really happened to Citra. I don't want him to conclude anything wrong" she said.

By dawn, Tian could close his eyes. But he didn't intend to go back to sleep. The young man felt guilty for Citra. The young man felt that there must be something he explained to his girl.

"Where is Yan going? How come it's neat?" But Hamidah asked while researching the body of the child from top to bottom.

"You're dating kali ma'am" said a woman with a robe complete with a wide hijab.

Tian turned his head and just threw his lips at the woman who was now standing next to the mother.

"Which girl is Yan you're picking up?" ask the woman who turned out to be big brother Tian.

Tian smiled. Without answering the questions of his two dearest women, he resumed his activities. When he finished, the young man turned his back and looked at his two dearest women.

"Tian go first, Ma'am." Tian kissed the back of the mother's hand as well as the elder brother's.

"Yes Nak. Be careful" said Hamidah.

After saying goodbye, Tian immediately walked out of his room towards the garage. He then took out his motorbike and immediately drove his vehicle towards Citra's place.

Elsewhere, Wiwit appears to be counting something. His face looked bright looking at the sheets of money in his hand.

"Lumayan is also. With this money I can leave this place. I can start my life out of town" he said.

Wiwit began to imagine the pleasure of living outside the city. He began to imagine his life would be quiet if he felt distant from both of his adoptive parents. He also thought he would be free from the law if Citra reported the hit-and-run incident at that time.

"With this money I can find Mas Tegar. I can look for him and try to approach him again. And for sure, I can escape from the shadow of Citra and both parents***n it," he murmured.

Wiwit continued muttering while counting the red sheets. His lips did not stop smiling. His eyes could not be separated from the paper in his hand.

"Wit, can you help me..." Ms. Aminah stopped her sentence when she saw what Wiwit had done.

Seeing the mother approaching, Wiwit immediately hid what he was holding.

"Eh i - iya Ma'am. Why Ma?" Wiwit asked with a voice trembling with nervousness.

"What are you hiding Wit?" asked Ms. Aminah without caring about Wiwit's question to her.

"What the hell is Mom? Wiwit... Wiwit is not hiding anything" said Wiwit. Her eyes rolled here and there because she was nervous.

Bu Aminah stared intently at her adopted son. The woman suspects something. But the woman couldn't accuse him without proof.

Wiwit returned the mother's gaze with the wrong view. Wiwit then turned his face away.

"Mom want what? Cacophonous? I'm busy!" he looked without looking at his mother.

Aminah is still silent. He's still looking at Wiwit's face. The woman seemed to want to find something that Wiwit had hidden.

"What do you want to talk to the school? I'm busy now," he said.

Aminah is still silent. The woman did not open her voice. I heard someone's voice outside the house.

Wiwit, upset with her mother, got up from her seat and walked to the front door. Wiwit could not hide his surprise when he opened the door. His body was frozen in place.
