I'm Not a Wild Grass

Ex Fiance Erlan (POV Laila)

His night..

"I don't feel at home, Line wears this dress. We're all tukeran!" I again protested to Arline for her choice of clothes to wear to Mama Ilmaya's party.

Right now I'm wearing a dress that actually covers almost my entire body. The sleeves I wear along my wrist. And the length of the dress is up to the feet.

But, the size of the clothes that are very fitting to form my crazy body, and the color of the dress that is red is clearly going to make me the center of attention tonight.

Moreover, there are additional fur decorations on the collar that surrounds my neck, as well as my wrists. I feel like a goose is the wrong place to attend a party, so.

"Where can we, La? My clothes are definitely smaller than yours! It won't fit!"

"Iishhk.it was a boutique guy ngarang very anyway! I fit in this shirt anyway? So it's like a duck to me, Line!" I'm back to grumbling.

"Hihihi. but you are really beautiful how La wear the dress. Such a beautiful telenovela artist. Your skin is so beautiful La," Arline again praised me.

"Fart stinks!" I'm swearing.

"Gini brown skin you say beautiful, Lin. There is also your skin tuh the white one tuh which is often the target of Indonesian men. White smooth blushing!" I said back while styling like I was advertising.

"Haha! Kaila. laila. You are so funny! If I think your skin is the selling point is more expensive than my skin. Your skin color is exotic, La!" Praise Arline again.

"Yes. Ja. Just keep on seducing. You mean let me not ask you to change clothes again, right? Let me perform like a duck at Mama's birthday show!" My dumel accused Arline.

"Geez, Non. suudzon is just, you. You're my bestie, La. I can't possibly make you look ugly in front of people. But really La. You are so beautiful, wear that dress. Your appearance is super ouhai.." seduced Arline.

"It's a duck-like thing in front of the river, isn't it, Line?" I said back to pessimism.

"Not! How to talk about the duck continues anyway.I mean oh ouhai bohihi"

"Basic!"

"More. We have arrived. Don't worry about dong La. Will see your ex. who knows Erlan will regret the weight of breaking up from you, after seeing your good looks.."

I was stunned when Erlan's name came back. I have not explained in detail to Arline about the chronology of the breakup between me and Erlan. So Arline seemed to think that Erlan had broken up our relationship.

Even so, I decided not to explain anything to Arline. I'm not ready yet. Or. I don't know. It feels like if I had to talk about breaking up my relationship with Erlan, I would go back to crying bombay like when I was at the restaurant at that time.

"La, let's go down!" Take Arline who is already outside the door of his Mazda car.

Shortly after, I came out too.

"Hh.. Line.. Line. Anyway later tonight you also have to anterin me home yes!" I reminded Arline of his promise.

Before saying it, I actually want to ride a motorcycle. But Arline prevented me. He said it was complicated or something. He promised to take me after the party.

"Yes.yes, he has not entered, has been busy discussing going home. Come La. Relax a little!"

"Will you?"

Arline and I looked back. And my netra captured the image of a very beautiful woman in a baby cream color dress. At first glance, he looks like a young artist Ranty Maria with her oval face.

"Oh! E.. Hay, Jess!" Arline's back greeting sounded stiff.

I looked at Arline with a question look. But Arline seems confused to explain the identity of the beautiful woman.

"We're into her together yeah, Lin. My mother went inside first. While I pick up the gift that was left in the car. Oh, this is your friend, Lin? Hay, my name is Jessika. I'm a little friend of Arline and Erlan's" Jessika introduced herself.

"...Hay too. My name is Laila."

"Oh! So you're Erlan's girlfriend, right? I heard about you from the whispers of her friends," Jessika cut as she looked at me more closely.

I don't know why I feel uncomfortable with Jessika's gaze on me. Although on his face is always decorated with a charming smile.

"Oh yeah?" My leg's stiff.

"Yes. Have you been dating for two or three months? Too bad Erlan never introduced us both. Though I really feel happy if I can get to know the woman who has captivated her heart," continued Jessika monologue.

"Oh. but me and Erlan are now.ppftt!"

My words were cut off by Arline's hand which suddenly smothered my mouth.

"That's it, La. mm. I just remembered that we missed our gift in the car too!" Arline looked nervous.

"Well?!"

Jessika still gives her charming smile to me and Arline. When Arline suddenly pulled my hand in a hurry towards where we first came.

"I'm sorry Jess! Let's get the gift that's left behind. You go in first!" Sapa Arline is in a hurry.

Kulrikik Jessika who led us to leave with a confused look. I don't know why I don't feel sorry for leaving that innocent-faced woman alone.

After our distance had been far from Jessika, I immediately stopped my steps. I also forced Arline to stop stepping.

"What the hell, Lin? Lied all that. Did you send it to Pak Kiman? Why are we now back to where the car is here anyway?" Ask me to grumble.

"That's. mm.. duh! How is that clear? Fuckin' Erlan! Make a job!" Gerutu Arline monologue.

Seeing Arline who did not hurry to answer my question, I decided to return and head home. Leaving Arline behind me who was in a hurry chasing after me.

"La! Wait La!" Call Arline behind me.

Unfortunately, the model of clothes I wear today is in the form of slimfit, so my movement becomes limited. In the end Arline was able to catch up to me after some time had passed.

Arline then lined up my steps towards home.

"Laila! Anyway, if Jessika gets close to you again, mending dodging!" Arline is full of secrets.

"What the hell? Why should I avoid it too? I don't owe him, Lin. You have over-acted to Jessika. I see he's friendly!" My elak while still walking straight.

"Iihh.. You know ngeyel! Anyway, don't get close to Jessika! Yeah La, Yeah?" Demand Arline back next to me.

"Who is he, Lin? Until I have to get away from him? Does he have rabies until I have to stay away?" Ask me with a straight forward look.

Next to me, Arline hesitated to answer.

"He's that.. "

"Paid killer?" My original words, after a long time Arline was silent.

"No!"

"Keep who? Crazy psycho?" I guess I'm more original.

"Not La!"

"Oh! I know!" Suddenly I stopped walking and turned my face towards Arline.

Arline stopped and looked at me.

At this time we were already standing a few steps away from the wide open face of the door. From outside the place where I stand now, we can already hear the strains of old songs that sank shahdu from inside the party room.

Not yet anything, I already feel sleepy hearing the mellow song.

"If he's not a hit man or a crazy psychopath, then he's a hodgepodge salesman in your school cafeteria? You have a debt to him huh, Lin?!" My sloth was accompanied by laughter.

"Sia lan you, La! Ngasal by the way! Where is a gado-gado seller as beautiful as Jessika? If your words are heard, the world will be bad!" Dumel Arline misah.

"Yes hold him who dong? Just answer me, it's so hard!"

"He's that.."

Suddenly Arline brought his head closer to mine. He whispered in his ear.

"She's the girl who once wanted to be betrothed to Erlan, but rejected Erlan raw. To the extent that Papa was angry and Erlan left home two years ago, La.."

I'm appalled. Completely surprised.
