Forgive Me, Love

9. Nine

" Why, how can you?" ask Boby curious.

" Yes, so I graduated High School, I went on to study D2 in English. My father wanted me to study English. But I don't like it very much. I prefer mathematics. So if D2 gets one year, I list S1. He took pure mathematics, but again he could not. He said I could take the math S1, but it had to be a teacher. That's the first condition. And the second condition, I have to finish my English lecture. So yes, I have two languages, one English D2, one mathematical S1. "

" Well, great you too. English pinter, math whiz.even financial problems also pinter. Ato don't-don't, you went to accounting as well."

" Aissshh, yes. If it's a financial problem, that's an instinct. Make the bookkeeping just not befuck."

" But you know, you're good at managing finances. Ahmad said that too. He said, after your finances are held, the school so have a decent balance at the end of the school year. It's good tomorrow to be your husband. You can have a lot of savings."

" Boby can do it."

The conversation continues. There's a lot they talk about. About their respective work and much more. They feel comfortable telling each other. They seem to be getting more familiar.

After lunch, Boby takes Novia back to school.

" It turns out that you were invited to talk. What if we were friends from now on. ? boby asked as they reached the school gate.

" Can. Talking to Boby was fun too. I am adding experience. Nambah temen also certainly. " replied Novia with a sweet smile.

This smile is what makes Boby more comfortable.

" That means dong, we can talk again sometime. If possible outside of work hours. Let it take longer. "

" Okay!" novia answered while raising her index finger and thumb to form the letter o. " Oh yeah, I'm going down first. Assalamualaikum"

" Greetings waalaikum. See you around".

Novia immediately got out of the car and rushed into the schoolyard. Boby watched until Novia was out of sight, only to start running her car, smiling to herself. Apparently, there was a flower that started blooming in his heart.

The day has changed. Today Novia is through her day as usual. Wake up early, work, and more.

That afternoon when Novia was about to return home.

" Look, Dennis! What are you doing here? Wait who?"

" Nungguin. Want to jerk again. Hehehehe.." replied Dennis cengengesan.

" You are this.nahusahin! Yeah, come on, let's spit it out!" Novia replied in a somewhat annoyed tone.

" Ready. Usual..mother get down first."

" Hmm...!!" novia answered while getting off her bike.

Dennis got on the bike followed by Novia who was piggybacking at the back. Soon, the motor is on the run.

" Yes om - om the same way mom who?" dennis asked in an interrogating tone.

" Which om?"

" The one yesterday was Ma'am."

" Oooohh that? Oh, kok om-om. Yesterday it was a contractor who was willing to hold a new school building construction project. "

" Not mom's guy?"

" sthat mean?"

" Yes if not my girlfriend. Kirain girlfriend mom. Like that, same om-om like that."

" Dennis..!! You're nothing at all. No one can be ugly. He's handsome, mapan. Why would I go out with him. Not to bother you either"

" Ihhh mother! If you are joking, don't miss it. Anyway mom does not pantes if dating the same om-om yesterday. The aging!" dennis tetep ngeyel.

" Loh.loh...Den! Go this way. This is not the direction of your home. Lhoooo, that's my home."

" Yes, emang. That's the house mom's gonna be there."

Novia was still with her smile on her face, getting off the bike when the bike reached her yard.

" How is this? What does this mean?" tanya Novia was still in confusion. " Said you want to be taken home. I was the one who was sent home. "

" Yes mother. I was originally asking for help to be taken home, but on the way, I changed my mind. Cook yes I ask you to continue. Once in a while my replacement who ngaterin mother that. "

" Dennis... Dennis...I was sometimes confused with you " said Novia while shaking her head. All I talk to is a crybaby.

" Well, how are you going to go home?"

" Calm down, Mom. An invitation is coming soon. "

And sure enough, not long after, Rey came to pick up Dennis.

" A pick-up is coming...!" exciting Rey.

" Greetings to the cake. " said Dennis.

" Oh yeah forgot. Assalamualaikum, Miss Novia

" Greetings waalaikum" Novia answered Rey's greeting while shaking her head. Not thinking about his students.

" Mom, I'm told not to go in first. Being treated to coffee what tea also wants. "the joke Rey.

" It's afternoon. You better go home. You should be at this hour at home. "

" Pelit terat Bu" Rey murmured and was rewarded by Dennis.

" If you talk in the guard" said Dennis warning Rey. So let's look good in the eyes of Novia of course.

" Yes, ma'am, please leave first. Emmm, Mom... If for example I play here sometime can mom? It's nothing, I just have a problem again, and want to ask advice from mother. Who knows you could help me solve my problem" Dennis continued.

" God, I can."

" We'll say goodbye, ma'am... Assalamualaikum." Rey and Dennis almost simultaneously.

" Greetings waalaikum."

Rey and Dennis eventually leave Novia's house. As she was about to enter the house, a mother approached.

" Well, how come Novia is being ushered in by her students? Is it sick, mbak? Ato... Ma'am Novia is going on a date with her students" said the mothers with a mocking look and pretended to cover her mouth with her right hand.

" I'm sorry ma'am, please say something, take care."

" Yes, who knows. Afraid no one wants to, uh finally the students are also treated." cerocos mother - mother earlier.

" I'm sorry again. As I recall, I never bullied my mother or her family. So please, don't talk carelessly. Excuse me" with a sense of annoyance half-dead Novia passed leaving mothers whose mouths had never been in school.

Arriving inside the house, Novia took off her work shoes, and went straight into her room. In the room, he threw his body on the bed.

He wanted to scream so that his frustration would disappear. Finally he went to the bathroom to change his clothes and flushed his face to half his head. Let his head cool.

After coming from the bathroom, she put on a headset and opened the YouTube app to search for her favorite songs. Favorite song that always reminds him of his ex. To this day, it still has a special place in Novia's heart.
