I'm Not a Wild Grass

Clash (Laila PoV)

Be the end, my love life became the object of Nunik's research, since his move to the city of B back.

Two days later Nunik returned to my house, and he again asked me to invite Erlan to visit. His plan, later Mas Aryo will lead the conversation. So said Nunik.

Imagining Erlan coming and talking seriously about marriage with me, it felt like it had instantly horrified me. He refused Nunik's request. But with the moody attitude of her unsettling pregnancy, inevitably I finally agreed.

I told Nunik I would invite Erlan to this Sunday's meeting. Obviously, the place should not be at home. Because I don't want Mama to expect more from that conversation later.

In fact, I asked Nunik to keep the meeting secret later from Mama. And thank goodness Nunik agreed.

Meanwhile, to Erlan later I will ask her for help to reject me in front of Nunik and Mas Aryo. Let me be a rejected girl, if it can make me free from Nunik's barking.

And my plan started.

Friday afternoon, I called Erlan by phone. I called him around noon, during break time.

"Hello? La?" Sapa Erlan from across the phone.

"Hey, Lan. Yes.mm. Is there a show on Sunday?" Ask me a little nervous.

"... No. nothing. Why La?"

"Where if we meet? In Mozartino."

Mozartino is a mini cafe restaurant that is famous among young people in the city of B. The main menu is steak. Classical music is broadcast over speakers most of the time.

"...I mean, you date, La?" Erlan asked misunderstood.

"Eh?! Wasn't it! So gini, Lan.."

And I finally told him about his strange cravings Nunik who wanted to take care of my romance. After it was done, Erlan was silent for quite a while across the phone there.

"So, you want me to come to Mozartino later to pretend to refuse you in front of your best friend, La?"

For some reason, hearing the sentence delivered by Erlan just now made me feel puffed up. I felt like I had proposed the wrong idea.

"Err.. yes? That's how it is. Can you, Lan? Please.."

"Crazy for you, La!"

And click. The phone connection was suddenly cut off unilaterally by Erlan.

I looked at my phone screen with a look of annoyance and disbelief. Didn't expect Erlan to dare to be as impolite as she just was to me.

With a peaking annoyance, I pressed the dial button again on Erlan's contact number.

"What else?" sahut Erlan from across the phone.

"Hey! It's not polite to call suddenly. Say hello, cake!" I just sprayed Erlan with a scolding.

"OKs. Excuse me. My phone's closing now, isn't it?"

"Ehh!! Nay! Nay! Don't sulk that dong, Lan.." persuaded me suddenly when I thought Erlan's voice was full of annoyance.

'Look, if I see you later. I'm really gonna pinch it all out, that's a guy!' my determination is in my heart.

"That's a big deal, Lan. Ask for help, mah. I promised Nunik to meet you. Don't talk for long. Ten minutes is enough, too," again I seduce.

"..You don't feel it, La if you're so mean?" Erlan said then, leaving me stunned for a moment.

"Eh, but that's for you too, Lan. I don't want you to waste time waiting for my feelings to change.."

"But still, La. I don't accept your unilateral decision. Second, I am very disappointed with you because you chose to return to Kiyano again,"

"Who did I say to Kiyano?!" My eyes are full of emotion.

"..really you're not equal to Kiyano?"

"Yes, it's not! I don't want to be an actor. Crazy you, Lan. I can think of me as that low!"

Replace me who wants to disconnect the phone call at this time.

So by reflex, I just disconnect my phone with Erlan.

Clik.

With the annoyance that still exists, I also slightly stomped the phone kuke on the lap. My gaze stares at the sky outside the shopping mall building, where I work today.

I did deliberately cover the park behind the mall to call Erlan. Wishing the young man would be kind enough to help me deal with Nunik's strange cravings.

Unfortunately, from the last two calls with Erlan, I instead ended up feeling annoyed at the young man's accusation to me.

'How could he have thought that I wanted to be back with Kiyano? Basic chili ijo bo doh!' unpat me misah-misuh.

Shortly after, my phone rang again. When I looked, it was a phone call from Erlan.

Still upset at the young man, I decided to ignore his phone call.

I just make my phone in silent mode. Then I got up and went to work again. The break will be over in about five minutes.

Throughout the afternoon until the afternoon, I forgot for a moment about my frustration with Erlan. I was busy tidying up the product. And look no further at the phone I deliberately ignored inside my purple backpack.

***

In the afternoon..

I finished working at the same hour. Half an hour five in the afternoon.

With a fairly tired body, I immediately exited the shopping area to head to the parking area. There, my Merry is ready to take me home.

I kept driving the Merry home. I felt like I wanted to put my body in bed.

My current job is indeed labor-intensive compared to the previous job. Thankfully, his salary was comparable to the tiredness I felt.

When I almost got near the front of the alley leading to the house, I was surprised by the appearance of a big motorbike that sounded its horn many times beside me.

I also realized who the owner of the big motorbike was.

But I decided not to rub Erlan's presence on the moge. No, until he suddenly blocked my motorcycle path in front.

I immediately pressed the brake button until Merry stopped.

I accidentally didn't open the helmet I was wearing. It feels lazy to talk again with the moge rider in front of me.

The moge rider then stopped and removed his helmet. And sure enough, he was indeed Erlan.
