I'm Not a Wild Grass

Sleeping (POV Laila)

Once caught off guard by Jessika and her comrades, Erlan tried to explain the situation as best she could. In the meantime, I just kept quiet. Because my mouth was too lazy to speak due to the scornful gazes I received from Jessika's crucifixions.

After Erlan finished explaining, without saying anything else I just went straight back to the party room. There, Arline immediately confronted me with questions related to my whereabouts for the past half hour.

Around nine o'clock, I took Arline home. After previously ascertaining the condition of Bella who turned out to have been taken home by her stepfather. According to Erlan, Bella was in a bad condition when she wanted to attend today's event.

Quoting Om Andre's sentence, Bella insisted she wanted to see her friend at a party today. Because he forced himself to attend the party.

Hearing Erlan's words, I guessed. Is the friend Bella wants to meet is me?

Ah. I think I'm too high in my status in Bella's eyes.

...

Since getting caught by Jessika and her friends, Erlan and I no longer have time to talk together. Actually, it's more because I'm avoiding my ex.

Especially when I saw Erlan was also quite 'busy' accompanying Jessika chat.

Hid.

For some reason, when I saw Jessika and Erlan chatting, I became annoyed. Is it possible that my hunch is too strong? Maybe what they're talking about is me, 'cause I don't like seeing them both talk?

Obviously, I can't be jealous of their intimacy, right?

Aye right?

...

"Come, Line. Home now. You know my curfew is only up to ten. It's nine o'clock past now. Not yet on his trip was also quite reckless half an hour!" My rebuke to Arline who is still busy matting a piece of brownies on her plate.

"Just a moment, La. This is a little more. If you want to hurry, help dong eat his brownies!" Pinta Arline's.

"Dihih.. You forgot huh? I don't like chocolate, Line. Too sweet. If strawberry is okay," I give it up.

"Yes already. Then wait a minute. You sit here on the sofa. Than standing there. It feels like I have a bodyguard, it will be me, La," Arline joked.

I snorted in annoyance. Although in the end I followed Arline's advice.

I sat down on the sofa next to Arline, which he was sitting on.

"Hoahm..." I'm yawning.

The flow of soft memories really became the most effective drowsiness for me at this time.

Somehow, I was sitting leaning on the sofa, knowing it even accidentally fell asleep. I just woke up when Arline swooped into my cheek.

"La.. Laila. Let's go!"

Hearing the word home, I immediately woke up spontaneously.

I see the party is still crowded by the invited guests. So I thought I should not sleep too long.

"Corn.hoaahmm.."

With reflexes, I stretched my arms to the side.

"Ouch! Beware dong, La!"

Surprised by Erlan's very close voice, I immediately turned my face to the right. It turned out that the sofa seat was empty, either since when it had been occupied by Erlan.

I quickly put my sitting position. Then I moved to the left. Even though my efforts seemed to be worth nothing, because I could not shift too far because Arline was still sitting in the sofa seat to my left.

In the end, I decided to stand up. Unfortunately, since I had just woken up from my short sleep, my balance still had not returned to normal. And it finally caused my body to bully forward.

Luckily, there was a pair of hands that caught my stomach. And then pulled me back until it fell on the lap of the owner of the hand earlier.

I turned my face straight back. To see who helped me. Although my feeling felt an unpleasant feeling related to the identity of him that I was sitting on his thigh at this time.

'Eran!' my inner screams were shocked, when my netra and her netra met.

"Sorry!"

Spontaneously, I'm going to get back up. But Erlan's hand swiftly held my waist which again almost darted forward.

"Dude, La! If you want to be friendly not now dong.." seduced Arline beside me.

Spontaneously I cast a fierce look at my bestie. While trying to get up again, this time slowly and carefully.

After successfully standing with full consciousness, I timidly thanked Erlan.

"sorry. Thanks too" I said slowly.

"Yes" said Erlan as she looked at me fixedly.

Feeling awkward with the situation that did not make oloni uncomfortable, I immediately invited Arline to go home.

"Come, Line. Now home!"

"Relope. Bye my handsome brother.." said Arline to Erlan.

"I'll take you, Line? All our homes are in the direction," Erlan bargained.

"Mmm.. What, La? There's a free cane. Uh, but I have to leave early tomorrow, brother. Couldn't it be that my car was left behind?" Reject Arline reasoned.

"Ohh.."

"Erlane! Here you are apparently! Jess was looking for you earlier!"

Jessika suddenly appeared and sat down beside Erlan. With a face that was clearly visible sumringah, Jessika grabbed Erlan's arm so familiarly.

Seeing the familiarity of the two people, again I felt bad.

Finally without a shadow of a swing, I immediately turned to leave without saying goodbye first to Erlan. And soon Arline followed behind me.

"Wait, La!" Call Arline.

I'm not calling Arline. My chest feels stuffy. Maybe it was the party that made me feel angry. Or it could be if soon it might rain. The weather is stuffy first.

"Hey, don't go home yet, La! Aren't we saying goodbye to Mama?" Arline reminded.

Reminded of Mama Ilmaya, I who had arrived at the door immediately turned around.

"I'm sorry, I forgot," I said withholding embarrassment.

Then Arline and I say goodbye to Mama Ilmaya. Only after that did we go home.
