Even & Odd

19

Apologizing has never been so easy. It is not that easy when we have to apologize to people who really mean to us and even we are disappointed. Not wanting Fersya to be rude to his Mama yesterday, Fersya was completely carried away by emotions.

All this time Fersya always held back his emotions while arguing with his mother because he knew that his emotions could not be withstood would be like yesterday. Fersya would hurt his mother with his words.

Today the dining table feels gloomier than the grave, deserted once. Usually, if Fersya has been arguing with his mother, Farsya who usually melts the atmosphere tomorrow. But now Farsya followed quietly and this situation increasingly made Fersya feel guilty. Her mother is currently preparing her favorite breakfast.

Egg-fill toast.

Usually his mother always gave breakfast fried rice, but this time his mother even prepared breakfast toast his favorite egg as if to invite Fersya to make peace. If this is the case, Fersya can no longer be silent just by enjoying his breakfast.

"Take Eca" said her mother softly.

Fersya took his breakfast slowly and ate it slowly as well. Her father and Farsya were done with the food. Whether intentional or not, the two conspired to leave Fersya alone with Mama in the dining room.

His father reasoned that he would have a meeting soon so hurry. Farsya himself said that today the girl left with Niko.

So that means Fersya has to go alone?

Indeed, usually also Fersya who died Farsya, now even the opposite. It seems like karma is running for him right now.

Fersya finished his meal and drank the white milk that Mama had prepared as well. Fersya looked at the clock, still enough time for him to apologize to his mother before he had to leave later.

Breathe in to calm her nervous self. Again, why apologize this hard. Only Fersya wanted to let out his voice, but was restrained because of Mama's words.

"Eca," said her mother gently, holding her right hand. "sorry, dear, my mother?"

Why should Mama first speak, why is it so hard for Fersya to say sorry. It was her fault that she had hurt her mother.

Shaking his head and trying to hold back the puddle of tears that had begun to struggle in his eyes. Fersya wanted to apologize at this moment but his throat was blocked from holding back the cry.

No, Fersya can't let her Mama wait anymore.

With tears that could no longer be contained Fersya replied, "It should be Eca Ma who apologized. Sorry about Eca Ma?"

Her mother nodded back and hugged her. Fersya could not hold back his sobbing anymore, the bodo period later when at school his eyes will be puffy and may be the attention of his friends.

"Sorry, my mom too, baby? Mama doesn't mean that at all to be the same as you."

Fersya nodded, Mama tightened her arms and Fersya hugged her mother tightly as if they were both looking for calm and strength from the embrace.

Fani let go of the arms of the two of them and looked at her daughter's face filled with tears.

"Sshhhh, already" said Fani calmed her daughter while wiping away the tears that still flowed on her daughter's pretty face, not forgetting she also wiped her own tears.

"Because I'm the same father who has already left first, Eca Mama who anther yes?" Fersya just nodded back.

Perhaps it was not her mother's intention to be unfair to her, but Fersya hoped her mother would agree and allow Fersya to attend college at the place and the department that Fersya wanted.

How'this?

Fersya forgot to wrap a gift for Aries, while this is the last day of UN which means today is Aries' birthday. Fersya had also chat Aries the night before if after the exam later finished Aries do not go home first anyone wants Fersya to talk about.

Actually Fersya just want to give the card anyway, but while chatting with Aries also seems to be okay, considering during the tests they face lately makes them rarely chat.

Suddenly the phone rang, there was a call from Aries and it made Fersya more confused. The call ended before Fersya answered, but Aries called him again.

Ah, lift it up first

"Lebay lo, I also did not pick up the phone once, but apparently I did not pick up the phone many times."

"Yeee, bodo. Hurry here, my time in Deket padang alone anyway. I'll guess the school guard."

"Aren't you the school keeper? Just go home now with the same school guard."

"That's because I have to practice selection later. Where the hell are you? Very long."

"Still in class, hehe. Wait there for a minute, Ris, I'm going to the cafeteria for a minute." After Aries answered with deheman alone ba-bi-bu again Fersya immediately disconnected the phone.

When talking to Aries earlier somehow his mind crossed to the cafeteria. In the canteen Fersya directly to the kiosk Soto Umi. Fyi, in Sebangsa High School even though there is a cafeteria exam still running as usual because many of the teachers who also buy food in the cafeteria.

"Umi, is there a newspaper?" Umi who was stirring her soup looked when there was a familiar voice.

"Eh, ndok Fersya. There's a newspaper. Make opo to?"

"There was Umi." then Fersya moved his body to whisper something. "Umi's teenage business."

Picking up the newspaper under the table where he put the rice thermos, Umi poked her lips. "Umi was never young." Fersya who heard Umi's annoyance just chuckled.

Umi asked how many newspapers Fersya needed to answer only needed one sheet. Taking out one piece of newsprint, Fersya walked towards the table in front of Umi's stall to wrap his card there.

Umi who saw it immediately approached the buyer of this soto subscription.

"Go make a gift to." as if not aware of what he said, but Umi just patted his eel. "Oh, is it Aris's birthday today?"

"Loh Umi know it's Aris' birthday?" ask Fersya while wrapping a gift for Aries.

"You know what ndok is. You don't know Aris."

"It must be Aris himself who is telling you his birthday" said Fersya with a laugh considering the nature of Aries is absurd.

"It's true." Umi replied while laughing as well.

Fersya was done with the wrap-up event and say goodbye to Umi. Umi Sotopun sends a happy birthday greeting to Aries which is answered with a nod by Fersya.

Because today is the last test, so there are still many students who are in school. Perhaps the reason they still settled in school was not much different from Fersya. Just want to talk.

If you do not know, although Sebangsa High School is a private High School but the level of learning and competition is quite high. Therefore, every time there is a test, Sebangsa students are used to being ambitious. So the last day of the test became a breath of fresh air for the disciples of the Countrymen. Maybe not only for Sebangsa students, but for every student in Indonesia.

Seeing Aries sitting facing the dam in front of him makes Fersya want to judge the guy. Walk slowly and get to the back of the Aries body. Fersya's plan to punish Aries by surprising him failed. It is not Fersya who surprises Aries, but Aries who surprises him.

Irritatedly Fersya sat down beside Aries. Aries who had already smelled the smells of Fersya's ignorance when he saw the reflection of Fersya in the soft water that he was looking at certainly did not stay silent. Aries has been a victim by waiting for Fersya long enough on this back court and Aries does not want to be a victim again.

"Do not want to jailin an Aris." Fersya just looked cynically at Aries.

Fersya took the bag off his shoulder and took the gift to give to Aris. The gift was presented to Aries.

"Thank You Fer. Pake bothered everything." said Areis as he took the gift from Fersya's hands.

"Not bothered. Not serepot lo who wrapped up the gift of sampe in layers." Fersya still remembered his frustration when he opened the package from Aries.

Hearing the insinuations Fersya Aries just laughed and immediately opened the gift package given by Fersya earlier. Aries was wondering what the gift was. When he saw a box with the label of perfume that he often saw on tv made Aries face Fersya and asked why Fersya gave Aries a perfume.

"Gue kasian the same as your girlfriend later, not necessarily there are so far as I smell the same perfume you are now."

"It's you who's my girlfriend."
