Cidro (Between Love And Wounds)

Chapter 57

Now Tian's days were always filled with a feeling of happiness. There has never been any sadness or loneliness in his days.

As of this morning, Tian seemed to be well-groomed in his pride attire. He was ready to go and pick up the heart.

"Yes, this is about to leave. Wait at home yes. Bye sweety's. Assalamu'alaikum" Tian said.

Hearing Tian call her sweety, Citra's face reddened. His heart was racing when he heard the call.

"Hey, smile to yourself! Who else is smiling?" said Anne.

The image was shocked to hear Anne's voice. But his shock could not hide the red hue in his face.

"Ha! Must have been called by Mr. Tian yes," said Anne loudly.

Citra's face was increasingly blushing to hear Tian's name called by his sister.

"Cie. cie.. My brother sold out at last." Azwan followed suit flirting with Citra. It made the girl even more embarrassed.

His heart ached a little when he heard Azwan calling himself an older brother. There was a strange feeling that ambushed his heart upon hearing that word.

"Cie. cie. the more she blushed. Cie.. cie!" goda Anne again.

The image lowered its head to hide its reddened face.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Tian said his greetings when he reached Citra's house.

"Assalamu'alaikum" he repeated when no one answered his greetings.

"Wa'alaikumusalam." Sayup-sayup heard the voice of someone answering his greeting.

Tian's face grew even more radiant as he knew who answered his greetings and opened the door for him.

"Go in first sir. Papa wants to talk to Mr. Tian," Citra said.

Tian nodded his head. Now, he did not force Citra to call him with another call. He freed Citra to call him anything. As long as the image is comfortable with the call.

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

News of the Citra engagement quickly spread throughout the school. Many of them are curious about who the man who wants to be with Citra. Sasha and Shintya. The two girls were both envious and disliked when they heard the news.

"Gue got curious who's the guy who wants to be like a hick like him?" Sasha asked as she pointed at Citra with her chin.

"Same. I'm curious too. There's a guy who wants to be like a girl like her?" sahut Karin's.

"At least he gave his body. That's why guys want to be with him." Timpal Shintya who was also looking at Citra with an envious look.

"God! The image is not as beautiful as you. But he still has heart and self-respect. There is no need for a body of many who want to be with him, too" said Maria.

The three girls turned their heads and found Maria standing while folding her hands on her chest.

"Before you do people, you should read first. Are you worthy and holy? To the extent that you don't know who he is about other people?" continued Maria.

His eyes were now staring at Shintya who was also looking at him.

"Gue your warning yes. Before it's too late, you better repent. Before God gets angry and takes your lives one by one." He said as he stepped away from the three.

"Hhuuuhh! You stress girl," said Karin.

"Not stress anymore. It's crazy of him" Shintya said.

Sasha just silently heard the words of the two girls beside her. He did not follow their words.

"Yuk ah's. The canteen. Hungry me!" take Karin.

"Based by the diner" sneered Shintya.

"Yuk Sha's! Unplug it!" take Shintya to Sasha.

Sasha did not respond to Shintya's call. He was still silent in his place.

"Sha!" call Shintya.

"Well! Yes why?" ask Sasha.

Sasha shaking. "Where were you guys going? The canteen? Yuk, I'm hungry too!"

Both of his friends frowned. But a moment later they nodded their heads. The two then followed Sasha who had stepped into the canteen.

Meanwhile, Citra, Anne, and Maria seemed to be enjoying their break by exchanging stories. Maria told me about her holiday to Manado. He also told me about the beautiful sea of Bunaken.

"Oh yes. There are souvenirs for you," said Maria.

"Well, thank you Mary!" citra sincerely said.

"Either. Actually from yesterday I was ready. I forgot to bring it. Only now do I bring it," said Maria.

"Basic lo! Not too old yet. Good thing your nose isn't missing" quipped Anne.

"S***n. If my nose misses, what's my breath on?" saith.

"He used his lungs. Humans breathe with their lungs" says Anne.

"Yes yes. Uh but if there's no nose how do I breathe the air?" ask Mary again.

"Take your mouth" replied Anne lightly.

"And if we have a cold, we breathe air through our mouth" he continued.

Mary mustard heard Anne's reply. A second later they laughed together.

"Partner!" call Tian.

Imagery. A sweet smile was engraved on his face as he looked at who was calling him.

"Hemm. A faint smile was etched on his face.

"Partner of Mr Tian dating huh?" Mary grabbed Anne's arm while whispering.

Anne smiled. "You don't know if they're both engaged?" said Anne.

Maria shook her head. The girl had indeed heard the news that Citra was engaged. But who does he know?

"Udah nearly a month they're engaged. Elo really don't know?" anne asked convincingly.

Maria nodded again. He really doesn't know about it.

"They were close for a long time. Before our test yesterday, they were close. Even when Citra was still Azwan's girlfriend, Mr. Tian already deletin Citra," explained Anne.

Mary smiled faintly at Anne's explanation. In his heart he felt grateful and happy to see the image happy.

"Can you come with me for a second?" tian said as he stood in front of Citra.

"Where is Sir?" ask Citra.

Tian smiled. "To the cafeteria," Tian replied.

The image smiled and nodded its head.

"Ehem... Ahem! The image of the doang invited? We're both not?" Maria said.

Tian laughed at Maria's words. He said, "want to come too? Yes, come on!"

Maria's face was beaming at hearing that. "Really Sir?" tanyanya.

Tian nodded. "Do you? If you don't want it," said Tian.

"You..want..want! Yes, when we refuse fortune. Yes, An?" sahut Mary.

Anne smiled at Maria's behavior. She hoped Mary had really changed. He hoped that Mary would no longer do evil to Citra.

In the distance, someone was staring at Citra hatefully. He was not willing to see Citra happy while he had to bear his love that clapped one hand. He does not want his dream man to choose another woman as his companion.

"Do not hate with hate. If we don't like someone, just pray that we can always be blessed like him." Say someone while standing up and gazing towards the school garden.
