Chapter 16: Don't Say Hello to Your Ex

From today on, my mission takes effect, which is "Don't say hello to your ex". Even though I haven't seen the trunk of his nose since that night. I'm sure he couldn't have locked himself in the room because he regretted deciding on me. I'm sure he was laughing with his friends in class. Bodolah.

"Long-age is also a boy."

"You mean, Brother Ryan, Ti?" asked Anye who was sitting next to me. I didn't expect my voice to be heard by Anye. I closed his mouth. Because, when Anye said so, Brother Ryan passed in front of the bench we were sitting on. It could be bad if Ryan hears. Later geer guy, his head can be big. "Ssttt! You can't, don't mention names," I protested to Anye after Brother Ryan passed me and my friends.

Anye took off my hand that was puffing her mouth. The girl seemed to have trouble breathing. "Fearless, the same is true, I mean former lo," said Anye.

"No. I'm not scared. You know I have a mission again."

"Mission? What mission?"

I have to be patient with my annoying best friend like Anye. It is fitting that Sak Teguh avoids, surely the reason is because Anye is forgetful, a little slow, and still like a boy. But luckily he's my best friend and I love him. "Gue ingetin again, well, to all of you if I want to move on and my mission now is to stay away from things that smell with the ex."

"What does your ex smell like?" ask Anye who I feel like I want her head stuck.

"That Tia means something related to her ex Tia. Not the smell," replied Jihan who was always patient with Anye. Maybe because they are like twins.

"Anyway my guidelines now are don't say hello to your ex. So, if there were any guys I'd go all the way," I added.

"If for example lo papasan on the road?"

"Gue will keep going, but it won't happen."

"Lo sure can, Ti?"

"Confident, Yul. Doain, yeah, guys."

From my sitting, my ears could hear the voice of my friends Brother Ryan asking about the reason he decided on me. But all I heard was laughter from him in response. Is that funny why I decided? So want to laugh.

Before going to the theater room, I went to the cafeteria to buy bread and bottled drinks. I accidentally ran into him. As per my mission, I did not greet him. It's hard enough because it's still early, but I'm sure I can do this. Immediately I walked quickly towards the theater room before he called me.

Actually, today there is no schedule for exculpation. But because you have to prepare for the graduation event Brother 12th grade, he got together today. Not today alone, almost every day we gather just to check the dialogue. The graduation of the 12th grade is soon and we have to prepare from now on. Afraid that if it is not prepared soon, we will forget because of many other busy things.

I sat in a corner, away from the other kids. I did this so I could focus on the script. This time I became the main character again, then had to be extra training. Plus, later this drama was watched by the father of the mother of 12th grade.

"It's really important to read the script."

I remember that voice. But I stayed focused on reading. In fact, I could feel him sitting in front of me. However, there is no intention to respond to it. Because I remember my mission.

My drama script was taken by him by force. Maybe that's how I'll respond. "Balikin" I asked and he returned it. I tried to be as normal as possible and not look him in the face.

"Who made the play?"

"Sie write it."

"Lo who is the main character?"

"Yes." Yeah."

I don't know why he's talking to me. I don't know where this conversation is going either. I just answered accordingly and kept trying to be normal.

"Trus, will the closing time be mos, you are also the main character?"

"Yes. It was that way before. The chairman of the excul always the main character."

"Whose game?"

"Why keep asking?" I asked who finally stared at the face I hadn't looked this close in a long time. I almost pinched her cheek, fortunately I remember that we were no longer lovers.

"Gue as a former theater chairman must be your mastiin so good chairman. Let me not choose lo," he replied, advancing the face with a smile that I had not seen for a long time. I'm dead sitting down, right. Want to pull my head back, but behind me is already a wall. I pushed his forehead with my hand. "Gue has been doing my job for approximately 6 months and you just now mastiin I become a good chairman?"

Brother Ryan's face changed when I changed what I usually say to my brother as me-lo. Actually, I still find it hard to say that. First because it's not polite, second because I'm used to it. But I was forced to do this because of my mission.

"Lo's changed a lot, yeah, deck?"

"Sama dong, kayak lo. Mission" I said, standing up and deciding to go home because today's training was enough. It's not strong to be in that room with Brother Ryan still approaching me.

Come to think of it, Ryan's sister is weird. He ended the relationship in a bad way. But we still want our relationship to be good. Or he just wants to test me now after being left behind by him.

I was surprised when I felt my cheeks wet. I rushed to the bathroom. Removing my tears that actually keep coming out. "It still can't be accepted, brother. If I were no one, brother anymore. Maybe because I still love my sister. Maybe because my race is too deep. I've tried and now I'm still trying to make my brother forget, but it hurts. I'm not sure if I can. But I'll keep trying, brother. I don't want to feel the same way as people who don't feel the same way about me."

Tonight, my mom is not cooking. That's why I asked Papa to buy food at the pengetan stall. "Emang really good sambelnya?"

"Back, Pa. Especially if you eat here."

"That means, the guy uses a shaman, dong," whispered Papa who immediately hit his arm.

"Papa by the way. If the person is horrified it is not funny," I said, only laughed at by Papa.

While waiting for our order, my eyes met the eyes of the guy who had just walked into this barber tent. He threw me a smile I didn't return. But my eyes still continued to look at his body from behind. Tonight he is still the same, with his white shirt and black shorts. Even though I only saw his back, I was already fascinated by him. He does have an allure that I will never be able to avoid.

"Mas, my order was, was it?"

Her voice that I told you was sexy at our first meeting. I don't know how long it's been, I don't hear his tired voice and yawn at night. Why I miss that.

"Tia, eat here again."

I woke up from my daydream. He greeted me and also kissed Papa's hand. Even if just say hello and say goodbye to go home.

"That's not Ryan who took you out at the time of the new year?" ask Papa who I answered nod. At that time he did not tell Papa and Mama if he took me to Paragliding. He said if he was honest it would be hard to get permission.

"Pantes, you said it was better to eat here. You know what your friendly friend is."
