DARREN'S HATRED

Cousin Brother's Cousin's Hugs

Brenda is currently in a mall. He is not alone, but with his future son, Erica Aurelia Smith.

Why would Erica be with Brenda? Darren asks Brenda to take Erica to school. Darren and his seven friends could not pick up Erica because they had a busy life both on campus and later in their respective companies. And also with his family members.

Brenda and Erica walked into the mall hand in hand while chattering, especially Erica.

Erica seemed happy because she could walk alone with her future mother. She hopes that Brenda will marry her father and become her mother.

When Brenda and Erica were happy while continuing to step along the vastness of the mall, suddenly there were about 6 girls who blocked his path. To be more precise, one girl was staring intently at Brenda.

"Hallo, Brenda!"

***

Darren and his seven friends are already on campus. Currently they are discussing about Touring activities with the theme of handing out groceries and cash to people in need.

"How are the Touring preparations three days away?" ask Darren to his members.

"Everything's ready, Ren!" replied the members from Gilang and Darka together.

"All the equipment we need is complete" said Axel members.

"Waiting for departure," interrupted Jerry.

"alright. But I'm asking you to check back. There's a fear of missing or lacking."

"Ready!"

"Oh yes! Nandito, Mehdy, Monica, her friends and some other members for these three days did not come in because I asked them to rest after they finished their duties in America. So if there's a job for them, please get it done."

"Well, Ren!" all members are no exception to answer words and orders from Darren.

"alright. Today's meeting is over here."

Done Darren said that, all the members of the Organization immediately moved from his seat and left the meeting room.

Seconds later, followed by Darren and his seven friends. They decided to go to the cafeteria . After that, they will go to class to attend the last lecture.

Darren, Qenan, Willy, Axel, Jerry, Dylan, Rehan and Darel have arrived at the Campus grounds. Dylan and Rehan stopped for a moment because they saw Nandito, Mehdy, Monica and her friends.

"Ren," call Dylan and Rehan together.

"Hm." Darren cleared his throat as the answer.

"Lo said Nandito, Mehdy and Monica and their friends were resting at home?" ask Rehan.

"Yes. Why?" answer and ask Darren.

"If they rest at home. Who is that anyway?" dylan asked as he pointed towards Nandito, Mehdy, Monica and her friends who were currently discussing something.

Hearing the words from Dylan immediately made Darren look directly at Dylan's pointer. So did Darren, Qenan, Willy, Axel, Jerry and Darel.

Suddenly it made Darren widen his eyes. He stared resentfully at the three humans who were currently negotiating something.

Seconds later..

Darren then stepped foot over to Nandito, Mehdy and Monica and his friends, followed by Darren, Qenan, Willy, Axel, Jerry, Dylan, Rehan and Darel.

"Lo's sure that Darren won't be angry that we're doing it today, Nandito?" ask Mehdy.

"Yes, here! I have a little doubt that Darren won't be upset if he sees us here. I'm pretty sure Darren must be angry" Monica said.

"Monica's right. I didn't know Darren too closely, but I knew exactly how typical Darren was. He cares and loves the people closest to him. He doesn't want those closest to him to be sick from fatigue" Azkiya said.

Hearing Azkiya's words made Mehdy, Monica, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat nod their heads in agreement with Azkiya's words.

"Keep how?" ask Saskia.

"You relax. Darren won't.." Nandito's words immediately stopped because someone had already interrupted.

"Will not what?!"

Both Nandito, Mehdy, Monica and Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat were shocked.

A second later, they all simultaneously saw the origin of the sound.

Instantly both of their eyes widened perfectly when they saw the existence of Darren already standing before him by giving a sharp look.

Nandito, Mehdy, Monica and Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat immediately swallowed his saliva roughly. Body stiffens.

"R-ren," said Nandito nervously.

"As-askara," said Mehdy and Monica nervously.

Darren did not answer the greeting of the three. It was precisely the gaze of his eyes getting sharper that made Nandito, Mehdy and Monica a little afraid. So did Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat.

"I told you not to go to college for three days. Why don't you listen to me?" Darren said a little ketus.

"Ren, that's.." Mehdy's words were cut because Darren cut them.

"That's what?!"

Pukkp..

Qenan and Willy patted Darren's shoulder gently, then both rubbed him gently.

"Ren, stop. However, they also want to go to college" said Qenan.

"In addition, they also miss the campus atmosphere," said Willy.

"But they are...."

"Yes, I know you're worried about them because they're just back from America. But at least listen first to their explanation why they remain desperate to enter college and violate the lo ban," said Willy.

Hearing Willy's words and explanation made Darren sigh at once. Then Darren looked at the humans standing before him with tense faces.

"I'm sorry. Now explain to me, why did you go to college today?" daren asked whose facial expression had returned to normal.

Hearing the question from Darren and hearing his soft voice, even seeing Darren's normal face again made Nandito, Mehdy, Monica, Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, and so on, Radika and Riffat heaved a sigh of relief.

"Sorry to you, Ren! We do not intend to violate the ban from Lo" said Monica.

"Continue?" ask Darren.

"We miss the campus atmosphere, Ren! One month in America. One month we did not waste either" Mehdy said.

"Hm." Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat nodded their heads confirming the words of Mehdy.

Nandito walked up to his cousin. She is grateful and happy to have a cousin like Darren. He also wasn't angry about Darren's attitude towards him because he knew that Darren was worried about him.

Grep..

Nandito immediately hugged Darren's body. He hugged his cousin so tightly.

"Don't you miss me? For a month I did not see you. One month we separated. You should've hugged me when I got back, but you were mad at me instead. Sad to know," said Nandito dramatizing the situation. He knew that Darren would definitely melt down.

Hearing Nandito's words made Darren feel guilty. He didn't mean to scold his cousin. Instead, he was worried about the condition of his cousin. His cousin just returned from America. His cousin should have rested at home.

Darren immediately returned Nandito's embrace while saying an apology.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to be angry. I love you, Nandito. I do this because I don't want to do anything. You just came back from America."

Nandito immediately smiled when he heard Darren's words and answers. Likewise with Qenan, Willy, Axel, Jerry, Dylan, Rehan, Darel, Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat.

Nandito then let go of his embrace. Then he looked at his cousin's face.

"Thank you for your care and concern for me. I love you too. As dear to my family, as it also loves me the same lo."

Darren smiled in response to Nandito's heartfelt words.

"alright. I'm sorry about you guys. As long as you're on campus, you don't have to do anything but take your classes. So, enjoy your free time for these three days. I don't want you guys breaking anymore."

"Ready, Boss!" exclaimed Nandito, Mehdy, Monica, Azkiya, Aurelia, Saskia, Zahra, Zivan, Pasha, Damian, Radika and Riffat along with paying respect to Darren.

"Aish."
