He is my eye

He is my eye
Ch. 24. Ditto



"Today why are you so rude, dear? I was overwhelmed by your game," I said. I fell asleep for a while because I followed Dito's game for almost two hours.


"It was in return because you broke your promise to meet me at that time."


"Why is that? I don't think you're angry with me."


"Who said? You know for yourself that I'm so busy, why do you even pretend to be so busy when I have time?" Dito spoke while putting his clothes back on. Looks like she just finished a shower. "Here you take a shower first. It's almost nine o'clock."


"Seriously?!" I saw the clock on my phone in disbelief. Did I really sleep that long? What is my reason for my mother now? I rushed to the bathroom without wearing a thread on my body.

"Thank you for taking me home. You didn't come by my house first?" just be polite


"No, it's too bad. Tomorrow I'll pick you up at college like that."


"Again?!" I was really surprised by what he said just now.


"Yes, tomorrow I want a day off. If you can, you'll skip college tomorrow. I'll add the pocket money again."


"What?! He said he wanted to meet again? Even though mine is still in pain until now, because of his actions earlier," I said in my heart.


"See tomorrow. I'll go home first. Bye." I rushed down from Dito's car immediately. I'll think about what my day will be like tomorrow. All I have to think about now, is how I reasoned to my mother.


"Assalamu'alaikum, ma'am." I opened the door while muttering softly, "It seems like the house is too quiet, maybe Mom has gone to sleep."


"Shifa, are you home?" Mom's voice surprised me because suddenly she was behind me. "Astaghfirullah, Mother ...!" I screamed while holding my chest which almost jumped.


"Where's mom from?" askaku.


"From studying in the neighbor's house. Why did you just come home? Out of the way again with Alfan?" search Mother. I also followed the mother who had entered the house.


"No, ma'am, Nela was with Elsa making sure I walked. I bought you an egg martin for Mom." Fortunately, I stopped by a merchant on the side of the road. At least you won't be too angry with my delay.


"Yes already. Have you eaten yet? Mom cooked for you. Maybe it's cold food now. If you want, I'll warm up the food again," mother bargained.


"Yes, Mom, Shifa laper. Shifa wasn't eating." My stomach is starving right now. Really cruel that Dito, after he braved me with his brutals, he did not give me any food at all.


But I still thank him. He gave me more money than usual. Hopefully he'll give me some extra money tomorrow. But what about my own promise to Alfan, that I will break my relationship with Dito and become a good woman if I still depend on Dito.


After I ate dinner and took a shower, I hurried to the bed in my very comfortable room. Because I'm not sleepy, I just open my facebook to find out what news is going on right now.


"The top girl bands and boy bands will be enlivening Busan Festival this year." News from this trusted account makes me flowery. How not, my favorite boyband was included in the waiting list at the event.


"One day, I will go to your country and meet you." It was my only dream that might be hard to realize. But I won't give up, someday I should be able to get there.


Suddenly a chat came into my facebook account. After I checked, it turned out to be from Alfan. "Why did he call me these nights. Is he overtime again?" mummify slowly.


"Facebook-an mulu's. It's Malem, Shifa, you're not sleeping?"


"What do you think?" ask Alfan again.


"Again sick" I said idly. I'm actually sick. But it is not my body that is sick, but my own that is still grieving because of Dito.


"Keep Mas Alfan himself why haven't you slept?" askaku.


"I just got home from the hospital, Fa," he replied. " What are you sick with? Then why not sleep. If you're sick, you should rest and let the spit heal." Looks like Alfan is worried about me. I just answered like.


"It's okay. I'm cured tomorrow." I immediately ended my conversation with Alfan because my eyes were no longer strong, "I slept first. Mas Alfan do not sleep at night, so that tomorrow the wake is not bad."

"Mom, Mom, aren't you going to the market today?" I was surprised because my mother was still relaxing at home.


"No, Shifa, I'm tired. You're not in college?"


"Lecture, ma'am, but it's in the afternoon. Lecturers who schedule another morning to Bali." Fortunately, a friend in the group chat informed him that Mr. Indra today could not enter. I could sleep even longer.


"Oh yes, Shifa, Miss Retno likes your bag. Yesterday Bu Retno showed off to the mothers of the new bag study that he bought."


"Continue ... continue ..., Mom?" I became very enthusiastic about what my mother said just now. Hopefully after this there will be more people ordering bags at my place.


"Yes, the people on the same name Bu Retno, keep Bu Retno promotionin deh your trading. Maybe soon there will be many mothers who order bags on you."


"Seriously, Mom? Wahh ... will sell my online shop."


"Eat him, you do not forget to pray so that more of your customers. Who knows with you praying and praying, many people are interested in the bag you sell."


Mother, again lecturing me about prayer. Mom was like Alfan, always telling me to pray. But somehow, if Alfan invites me to pray, I always want to be alone without being forced. But if my mother told me to, I just answered yes lazily.


"Mom, hungry, what are you cooking today?"


"Mother just cook vegetable spinach as well fried eggs. Oh yeah, why don't you learn to cook, Shifa?"


"I? There's Mom, why would I cook that Mom's cooking is better than any restaurant."


Suddenly the sound of a car seemed to stop near the house. "Who do you make the same deal, Shifa?" search Mother.


"I don't have a promise with anyone, Mom. Maybe it belongs to a guest next door." I have an appointment with Dito, but he's not going to my house this early. Because as I recall, he'll pick me up at the college in the afternoon.


Toookk .. toookk ... ttookk ....


The sound of my door knocking. "Yes, wait a minute!" shouting Mother. "That might be your friend, Shifa. Maybe you forgot someone wanted to see you."


"Where is it possible? I remember not having an appointment with anyone this morning. Is it possible that Nela came to pick me up? Or maybe Dito came so early to invite me out of college?"
