I Love You, Sir

29.

Breakfast was skipped with a very awkward atmosphere. Worse because I didn't eat breakfast with them. There's only Mom and Shandy. And Shandy's attitude hasn't changed since last night.

“Who are you leaving with, baby? Want to interbunda?”

Shandy nodded slowly. “So have signed an agreement with Dara,” Shandy said briefly.

Mother reviews the smile full of sadness. “Good. Later in the afternoon, mother pick me up. We had lunch together.”

Again, only a nod would be Shandy's answer. He was also more quiet than usual. Even breakfast which is usually a place to vent or chat casually, now feels very empty.

Shandy decided to finish his breakfast quickly. He could not bear the strange situation with his mother at this time. And luckily, not how long was the sound of Dara's car that had arrived in front of her house.

“Shandy leaves first. See you later at noon,” pamitnya to mother. He grabbed his bag and walked out of the house without waiting for his answer.

In the car, Shandy still maintained his silence. His mood has not improved and makes him lazy to talk to anyone. Even until they arrived at the school hall, Shandy still kept silent a thousand languages.

He was about to get out of the car when his hand was pulled by Dara. “Why you? Any problem? Don't want to tell me first? There's still 30 minutes until the entrance bell goes off.”

Shandy looked at Dara doubtfully. “I can't tell anyone yet. And please, don't ask me anything. I still want to set my mind first. I'll tell you when I'm ready. But for now, I still want to shut up.”

Dara breathed a heavy sigh. He let go of his grip on Shandy's hand. “Alright if it wants you. But you have to promise. If there is a problem, I da Monik will always be there for you.”

Shandy smiled hearing that. “Iya, relax. I'll definitely find you if I need a friend to confide. How's your stomach, by the way? Still nauseous not?” Shandy asked as he looked at Dara's still flat stomach.

Dara stroked her stomach lovingly. “Udah no damn. I think he knows his mother has to go to school in the morning. That's why I'm not fussy anymore.”

“Good then. Did you know this problem?”

A smile of sumringah instantly appeared on Dara's face as soon as she heard Shandy's question. “I want that story to be the same with you. But, instead of me back and forth, we will gather at the library later. I have great news for you.”

“Alright then. Let's go to class. In a moment, you want to sign in.” And the two walked together towards their class.

As soon as the hour of rest arrived, the three of them immediately shot towards the library. Dara had already contacted Monik through a short message and the girl was also impatient to hear the news from Dara.

“So, what big news will be announced?” Shandy asked impatiently as the three sat on the library corner sofa that Shandy slept on yesterday.

Dara put on a big smile before starting the story. “So, I told Aldi and our parents. At first it was clear, as we all predicted. Both of our parents were furious. Even my father wants to throw this baby away. But I insist on defending. I even want to get out of the house if they want to abort this baby. And you know what Aldi said?”

Simultaneously, Shandy and Monik shook their heads. “Aldi said this dong, if om and aunt do not want to receive baby Aldi, let Adli who supports Dara and the baby. Aldi already has a small business that certainly can support Dara and her baby. Imagine, don't you float it made?” Dara's story is full of spirit. He seems very happy with his story.

“I didn't think Aldi was that cool. If seen all this time, he's not serious about you. I think dating is just for fun. Eh, as it looks like this if he is a real man,” said Monik who answered a nod in unison by the others,

“Iya. And finally how are your parents?”

Dara's smile was still not faded. “After the drama, I was the same my parents had been quiet for a few days. Aldi, don't ask. He's super protective now. This is actually I can't drive myself. I'm just saying I miss driving. Starting tomorrow Aldi will pick me up. So, sorry Shandy. From tomorrow I can't take you anymore.”

Shandy shook his head. “Laise anyway. I also want to learn to drive. Immediately I have no one else,” said Shandy while putting on an arrogant smile.

“Wah cocky nih. Taught who? I'm sure your mother can't escape this one and only daughter to carelessly people.”

Shandy smiled nervously. “There are contacts of mother. I am used to driving. Hahaha,” said with his crisp laugh.

Address me if they find out who taught Dirga. Anyway this secret no one should know, inner Shandy. He panicked when his friend found out.

“Bunda you are so good then. Very protective with his son,” said Monik who was greeted with laughter by Dara and a smile forced by Shandy.

“Eh yes, how now? You still keep quiet with your parents?” Ask Shandy.

Dara nodded casually. “Gak dong's. And the other good news is I'll be married to Adit once we graduate school. My parents said, if I want to go to college, later if my son is a bit old. I don't really care either. Importantly, this baby I carry can be born into the world healthy without any shortage,” Dara said as she stroked her stomach. His gaze softened every time he stared at his stomach.

“Oh yes, how is the school? Have you consulted your parents?” Shandy asked curiously.

“They said, if I give birth before graduation, I will take the C package exam only. And if school forces me out once they find out I'm pregnant, I accept that decision. It's my own fault and I accept all the consequences."

Dara answered with complete confidence. His view also says he meant it with his words. How the baby she contained brought so much impact on Dara.

Shandy and Monik smiled looking at Dara. “Become adult now. Though it feels like just yesterday we went to the mall together, try clothes, find a boyfriend together, uh now Dara already wants to be a mother,” Monik said while still smiling at Shandy.

“But funny maybe yes if we meet in 10 years and already bring that child. We are excited about the children not to mention they will fight or cry. So I can't wait for that moment to arrive,” Shandy timpal who made his two friends smile at him.

“Could have. No, you should be able to. We have to stay friends until we become grandparents. Who knows, we can be besananan,” chirped Dara who made the three laugh together.

During the day the mother's car was parked neatly as soon as Shandy out of the school yard. Soon the girl walked towards the mother's mobi. 

“Siang darling. How was school?” Ask the mother as soon as Shandy gets in the car.

“Regular aja. Nothing special,” said Shandy flat.

Mother still has not given up. He asked back. “Where do you eat? What is fast food in restaurants?”

"Tereserah aja. Shandy is following me." Shandy replied briefly.

Mother did not respond to Shandy's words anymore. He drove his car away from Shandy's school and joined the streets of the capital.

Shandy was still engrossed in his cell phone when he realized their journey was heading home.

"Cock to the house? He said he'd have lunch together?" Shandy asked curiously.

Mother smiled knot. "Where else is the best place to talk other than at home? After all, mother has ordered to bi Ijah to make your favorite lunch. So, we eat at home."

Shandy just nodded at my mother's words.

Not long after, they arrived in the yard. Shandy rushes out of the car and steps towards his room. He wanted to clean up before lunch.

As soon as she arrived at the dinner table, she was ready with a plate of rice and side dishes in front of her.

"Let's sit down and eat. This Abis mom wants to go back to the boutique again. There was a guest who called just now."

"Whose guest?" Shandy asked curiously. 

Mother was silent for a moment before answering Shandy's question. "That time order a dress."

"What's your ex-boyfriend's son?" Shandy asked in an annoyed tone of voice. 

Mother nodded slowly. "Can't Shandy say no more mother serving? Continue the dress, but let the goddess finish. Mother quite behind the scenes."

"But baby. Kan mother the owner of the boutique and she specifically want the mother who works."

"But Shandy doesn't like bun!" Shandy's voice rose and he accidentally slammed the spoon in his hand and made mother and bi Ijah surprised.

"Dear, what's wrong with you? You mind if you serve him?"

Shandy felt his eyes start to heat up. "Yes bun. Shandy objected. Shandy was afraid of my mother coming back with him. Shandy is afraid that she will leave Shandy with her father" Shandy's great-grandson, who has no tears, begins to pour down her cheeks.

Mother grabbed Shandy's body and hugged him tightly. "I'm sorry, dear. Mother does not realize that it has hurt your heart. Forgive mommy yes. Mother promise. Mommy's gonna take that client off." Mother continued to persuade Shandy while stroking his back and giving him sedating words.
