FLAVOR ANALOGY

Let the past pass

“Yes I used to love it Ma, but that was it. Past, just love story High School boy.” Shila again.

“Then have you two never been in contact with Rayden again?” Mama Alya asked again, now she looked at Jovan and Shila waiting for answers from both. “Didn't he also majored in medicine like you Jo?” added Mama Alya who is now staring at Jovan completely.

“After High School graduation we have never met Rayden. But still had time to communicate in the early years of college because Rayden happened to also study in Jakarta so it was difficult to meet. But it was only in the early years of college ma, after that we and he were both lost contact.” Obviously Jovan was allowed by Shila.

“Ooh so apparently. But it's not because of him that you reject the men who like you, is it Shil?” Mama Alya made sure, looking intently at her son who actually rolled his eyeballs lazily.

“I just spoke earlier Ma, no need Mama think. Hasn't Shila ever been in a relationship with some men? Arlo, Kemal and Arganta.” Now Jovan himself who gave a defense to Shila for her silly question earlier that made Mama Alya think about it seriously.

The middle-aged woman who was still very beautiful smiled and nodded her head. A sign that he believes Jovan's words. “Hei Kayshila Calluella Nararya, then what is the real reason you always reject men who express love to you? Mama got curious, you're still normal aren't you?” Mama Alya narrowed her eyes as if she was bullying the child.

Jovan who heard it was broken. The mother of his best friend does sometimes have unexpected thoughts. He glanced at Shila who was resting her hair lazily.

“Except what?” ask both at the same time.

“Unless the man can help me complete the dissertation and help me to submit my dissertation research paper to a minimum journal Q2.” Sahut Shila lightly without burden with his ignorant smile.

Of course, such a criterion is not easy. At least the man is also a Doctor, Phd or Professor. Otherwise, surely the person would be hard-pressed to help Shila.

“Basically you are.” said Mama Alya while throwing wine at Shila. His daughter was just laughing. The same with Jovan who also broke down. For him, it was no stranger to see the ridiculous interaction between mother and child.

“What if Rayden suddenly comes back here? What are you going to do, especially you Shil. What if he suddenly wants to repeat a love story that you haven't even had time to live.” Temptation of Mama Alya which again made Shila sigh violently.

“If you want to come yes just come, no one forbid. But if it's about repeating the love story oh sorry. Let the past be the past and do not have to repeat it again.”
