I choose Your Heart

PHD (22)

Lanzi came home after getting tired of walking around. Lanzi went straight to the bathroom and forgot to tell her about her encounter with Aurel. Triana sat in the garden behind the house, looking at Daren who was playing cars. Fitri was helping Triana apply wind oil on her nape.

"Tri, it's better to go to the doctor. Mama is afraid you are sick, from the morning do not stop vomiting. Mama tandara huh?" ask Fitri.

"No need, Ma. Looks like these are signs of pregnancy" Triana said.

"really? How late are you, baby?" ask Fitri happily.

"Tri's two weeks late, Ma. Later in the afternoon Tri asked aunt to buy a testpack only, no need to see a doctor," Triana replied.

"Yes, already. Does Lanzi know?"

"Yet, Ma. Later if it's positive, Tri tell you" said Triana.

Lanzi came down from the room, looking for the whereabouts of Tri and Daren. He heard laughter from the backyard, Lanzi went to the backyard and smiled at Daren and Fitri who were joking. Lanzi approached them and greeted Fitri.

"Good morning, ma'am," said Lanzi.

"Morning, Lan. Had breakfast?" ask Fitri.

"Already, Mom."

"Sorry, I and Tri had breakfast first because Daren was hungry and wanted to eat with us" said Fitri.

"It's okay. How's Tri doing, Mom?" ask Lanzi.

"Well, maybe just catch a cold" replied Fitri.

Lanzi could calm down now, she was anxious because Tri did not want to go to the doctor. Lanzi was sitting on a park bench with Fitri. Suddenly Triana ran towards Fitri and Lanzi.

"Mas, take care of Daren first, yeah! I forgot, yesterday ordered something to the greengrocer. It should be at this hour in front of the alley, I went there first," Triana said.

Triana waited for the greengrocer at the gate. Neighbor next to Lanzi's house happened to pass by, he just came home from the market.

"Mom Tri, what are you doing?" ask the woman.

"Eh, Miss Sofi, this is waiting for the greengrocer. Where's mom from?" ask Triana.

"From market. Mom, you know what? I saw Mr. Lanzi godain ABG, you know," said Sofi.

"Mother.must have a wrong look. It's impossible, Mas Lanzi" Triana replied in disbelief. She knew exactly what her husband was like, where perhaps Lanzi dared to flirt with women. Especially ABG women who are still a dozen years old.

"Now, I see that you think I'm lying." Sofi showed a photo of Lanzi and Aurel on her phone.

Although Triana did not believe in what Sofi said. But the photo was enough to make Triana burn jealous. Tri gives back Sofi's phone and smiles in a forced manner as Sofi bids.

"Is it true that Mas Lanzi is like that? But his smile was so happy in the photo? Please, don't let me down, Mom!" triana murmured in the heart.

The greengrocer that Triana was waiting for came. It turns out Tri ordered young mangoes at the greengrocer. After picking up and paying for her order, Triana reentered the house.

The Aditya house.

Aurel finished shopping and went home. While picking up his groceries in a bicycle basket, Fariz came over to Aurel.

"I helped, yes," said Fariz. He takes the groceries in the basket but Aurel forbids it.

"No need, I'm ordinary myself" Aurel said.

Fariz forces and seizes the groceries in Aurel's hands, Aurel holds him back. Because they pulled each other, the plastic grocery bag broke off and all the vegetables in it fell off. Aurel became upset and ended up getting angry.

"For you, look! I told you, no need, why are you forcing? It can't be, don't bother me!" Aurel went to her room and locked the door.

*tock! Geck! Geck!

"Rel, I'm sorry. I know, I was wrong. I'm sorry, okay," Fariz said at Aurel's doorstep.

"Ral, Rail, Ral, Rail. You think I'm a railroad. My name is Aurel, not Rel" Aurel replied upsetly.

"Ok, I'm sorry, A-u-r-e-l." Fariz spelled Aurel's name, making Aurel even more upset.

*clek.

"You're that, why the hell, that sucks. Why don't you come with my aunt earlier, rather than bother me" Aurel said with emotion.

"Your aunt had a lunch appointment she said to your uncle, and then, I interrupted those who wanted to eat together, was that it?" ask Fariz.

"Do you believe my aunt went to lunch? It's only eight o'clock in the morning, what time is lunch?" aurel asked Fariz. Aurel closed the door back and locked it.

Fariz smiled amusedly at Aurel's anger.

"Why does he look cute and cute when he's angry" Fariz murmured. Fariz went to the kitchen and took two loaves of bread and one glass of orange juice. Fariz then looked at the bag of vegetables that had been damaged. Fariz looked at the contents and wrote them on a blank piece of paper. Fariz went to the market in a taxi and got off at the modern market. Fariz bought all the vegetables on the grocery list.

When Fariz came home, Aurel still did not want to get out of the room. Fariz dumped the damaged and crushed vegetables in a garbage can in front of the gate of the house. Fariz then went to his room and played online games.

The Lanzi house.

Triana daydreams in the kitchen. He kept wondering in his heart, about the truth of the photo. Triana wanted to ask, but Triana was afraid if she was wrong. Triana convinced herself, that it was wrong, it must have been just a misunderstanding.

Lanzi and Daren went inside the house. Daren was exhausted after playing and feeling thirsty. Lanzi carried Daren into the kitchen and saw Triana who was daydreaming in the dining room chair.

"Darling, what are you doing?" ask Lanzi.

"Huh? Oh, there's no. Just sit down" Triana replied.

Lanzi became suspicious, obviously Triana was daydreaming, but Triana did not tell Lanzi. Lanzi took Daren down from her sling. Lanzi pulled the chair beside Triana and sat staring at Triana's face.

"Honey, if there's a problem, tell me. Why are you so self-absorbed and daydreaming like this?" ask Lanzi Lanzi.

"What, you'll be angry, if I ask?"

"Mas won't be angry, when have you ever seen Mas angry?" ask Lanzi.

"Mas, this morning, did Mas meet a woman?" ask Triana.

"Why? When I met Aurel this morning during a workout, I forgot to tell him about it. Did anyone report anything to you and you're jealous, right?" asked Lanzi with a seductive smile.

Triana smiled confirming Lanzi's speech.

"How's Aurel doing, Mas?" ask Triana.

"Okay, this morning he was on a leisurely bike ride" Lanzi replied.

"I also miss Aurel, Mas" said Triana sadly.

"Sometimes you'll meet Aurel. Had he not refused our presence, I would have taken you to his house" Lanzi said.

Triana is sad to remember two years ago, when Triana went to Aurel's house because she wanted to meet him. Aurel banishes Triana and forbids Triana from coming back to her house.

Triana had no idea that Aurel had to do that. Because her uncle and aunt didn't like it if Aurel was related to the Lanzi family. Actually, Aurel was also very eager to meet Triana. Aurel also misses Triana a lot, just like Triana who misses Aurel a lot.
