Just a Monkey's Love

Chapters 5. Tomato Face

"hi. the tomato face" said Aland.

Senni looked at me

"kasian Aland do not be ledekin directly" replied Senni

my heart was glad to be subtle, she nicknamed me by a special name.

But I had to hide my pleasure in front of Senni.

"oh yeah, that's for you !" Senni thrust food and drink at Aland, and received it with joy.

"thank you!" he said while busy eating his favorite toast.

I think it's really great Senni knows to such a detail.

"Sen, I'm ahead!" I say goodbye to them

"okay bye tomato face" hahaha said Aland laughing crisply

They chatted for a long time.

Already Raline, you can not like the bustle of Senni, Aland fits Senni, I said slowly.

"oo.." replied Johan.

I was busy watching them both.

"so you like Aland too?" said someone on the wall

I turned my head to the right, and there was Johan

"what the hell?"

I panicked and hurried into the classroom, followed by Johan.

He never gave up, even though I rejected him.

He tried to tease me, but I didn't respond to him in the least, maybe he was jealous

"looking at you who are getting more beautiful days is also enough for me" he said

“hhhuuuuuhhhh” Makes a whole bunch of boisterous classes “Raline.. Receive donk!” yelled one of my classmates.

"not that you don't love me, but one day you'll be my soul mate" he added.

The whole class cheered “romantis very Jojo I.. ngiri deh same Raline” other satirical.

I closed my ears, but my shame couldn't stop my reddened face.

"the stain on his face is red, that is...." Johan back nyerocos

"like me" he said.

I went back to speaking a thousand languages.

My mind is screwed, either because I like the guy my best friend likes, or Johan?

My face turns red whenever I feel ashamed. Did Johan do this just for fun.

Is Aland the same, he mocked me just for fun?

Instantly I realized, that this change, just duplicating Senni only. I feel like I lost my true self.

I keep struggling with complicated feelings.

I'm starting to feel insecure.

Senni who caught my strange girly immediately found out, before I spoke.

“Raline, you why?”

“Sen, is that me?”

“means?”

“everyone is either mocked or makes me a funny material, am I that weird?”

“what the hell is not clear !!” senni said, ignoring my words

“...”

In fact, every day when Senni and I passed each other, Aland always mocked me.

Sometimes he passed by in front of me after school while greeting me

“Bye face tomaaaatttt..”

I sometimes just stay quiet and bow down, wanting to feel like I'm retaliating.

But my friendship with Senni wasn't that joking, either,

God, what should I do.

Aland kept teasing me, and I tried to avoid it slowly.

“Raline..

Crossing over to the house, Aland called out to me.

I looked up, and hurried away

“Raline wait” she held me, held my hand.

“ada what?”

“you why?”

“I ain't nothing Brother.”

“Kak?” the question is strange, usually he is called by name only

“you're my senior at school”

“no, surely because I ledekin continue right?”

“You don't like it?”

“aku feel ga comfortable”

“I'm sorry Ra..”

“it’s ok, but not to be ok”

“soo..”

“ya, maybe gini is better, let's just say we don't know each other”

“But.”

I gawked, leaving him without extending the conversation.

Aland seemed to feel guilty about me, but if I thought about it more, I was afraid my best friend would be even more disappointed when I found out the truth.

“ga can be Raline, I like you”

His shouting.

Seriously? I'm not that quick to believe, what other joke is this, it really doesn't make sense, how special am I?

The weather was clear this morning, especially in the school hallway, the leaves were fresh because they were washed out.

I also feel calm because now I will be normal to Aland, I get used to myself not as enthusiastic as before.

“morning Raline Aland was nongol at the door of his class which happened to cross my class

I pretended not to hear it. I looked straight at my class.

Every time Aland tried to talk to me, I rushed into the classroom, there was no gap for him.

“Raline... Are you healthy?” ask Senni.

“healthy koq”

“lately you've changed your feelings?”

“iya, I like me now, Johan...Aland don't bother me or bother me, I'm not worried anymore”

“oohh..”.

“eh..Ra... You know what? Aland sent the message earlier he said to meet later at Cafe Coffe, you menemenin me yaa..”.

“ga to ah..”

“emmhh..

“maybe he wants to express his feelings to you” I replied

“hopefully “ Please Senni until both eyes sparkle

“eh if you guys make it, inget-inget me yah”

“ah you.. can just make me ge-er”

Sometimes Aland's behavior is unpredictable, he bravely comes to our class and suddenly he holds Senni's hand

I saw it made dumb.

“Senn, I like you, you want to be my girlfriend?”

He declared his love for Senni, but I saw him steal a glance at me, as if he was intending to take revenge for my treatment, which he had been all along

Senni responded to Aland happily. They smile at each other and Senni hugs her.

“I want...” said. Followed by the whole class,

That day Aland officially became his girlfriend Senni. Don't ask me what I feel like I'm breaking, I'm holding my trembling body, my chest is tight, my breathing is starting to get irregular.

I want to cry her firmness, limp straight into my body.

I'm still wondering why Aland did it in front of my eyes.

Maybe Aland is planning something...

Why this, why my heart this, I should be happy because after Senni's effort

Long enough, finally, his efforts yielded results.

I assured myself, that this is just a normal feeling, this heartache will recover as time goes on.

I don't have to be the one who suffers the most.

“Gratz Senni... finally..” I immediately hugged him pretending to be happy.

“iya...” Senni hugged me so tightly so happy.

I then looked at Aland and shook his hand.

“Thanks Aland, today is a day that I will never forget, please be happy Senni, don't even make him cry”

“definitely !!!”

His answer was short and meaningful, he smiled at me as if satisfied to see the look on my face that was not happy.

He smiled cynically at me, then he seemed to be heating me up continuously, showing that how lucky Senni was to feel uncomfortable I moved to the back seat.

“Why Ra?” ask Aland

“Ga nothing, I'm afraid of disturbing”

“Ga is Ra, you are my best friend, you may not bother us” Senni said with a smile on Aland and Aland returned his smile.

“hehehe..” tawaku flat

Good Aland you are indeed a very great actor ! That time you said you liked me, now you shoot Senni in front of my own eyes.

You have any real intention, indeed your arrival my class was unexpected...
