JUST HUG ME FOR A SECOND

ALICE AND ALUNA

That afternoon Aluna went to the campus with shaky steps. He indeed began to continue his studies that had stopped first. His mind was confused to think about his problem with Evan. What else about the photo, Aluna felt very guilty to Evan. Soni could have taken a chance with him. Aluna closed her eyes feeling very guilty, she did not want Soni to touch her. Only Evan is the man he loves. Only Evan can touch her, she belongs to Evan. That's always what he thinks.

Remembering the incident made him even more chaotic. Suddenly, Aluna was shocked by a friend beside her.

"Lune! Fill quiz. Time's up. You haven't answered me yet" he said. Aluna looked at the blank answer paper. He soon began writing. Her kind friend handed her answer sheet to Aluna. Aluna smiled and started copying it. (Nyonce... ️ Not a good example... 😅)

After finishing college Aluna immediately went home, she headed to her car. Before he could open the car door, he was stopped. Someone held Aluna's car door with his hand. Aluna turned her head, looking at Soni's mother with the gaze of her brother.

"Eh, Aluna. Because of you last night my son Soni in tonjok your husband.you are married. So don't whip up Soni. You're the one who lured Soni. Now even Soni is in the wrong," said Soni's mother defended her son. Suddenly someone held the shoulder of Manda's mother Soni's mother. He turned his head, looking the face of a graceful beautiful woman.

"The mother's son was also taught manners, do not play nyosor aja same wife people. Pakek send to her husband all. That's the name of his mother's son who mintak in tonjok," said someone suddenly. Aluna and Manda look over. Alice is Brian's fiancee. He walked gracefully towards them.

"Soni sent her a picture of Aluna's husband. What does your son mean?!" alice said again.

"You don't interfere. It's my business with Aluna" said Manda's mother annoyed.

"Aluna is my friend. So this is my business too. My fiancee is also her best friend Aluna's husband" Alice said.

Bu Manda did not care about Alice's whereabouts, for her to hit Aluna was the important thing. To express his frustration to Aluna for ever rejecting her son first.

"Dark, Aluna! I just want to remember don't deketin Soni again. Don't because your husband isn't as good as Soni and then you turn to teasing my son again. I have no interest in marrying my son to a widow to a gatelan like you," cynical Manda ma'am with her pong style. "Oh yeah, you're a widow what yet?!" hina mama again. With a questionable look with Aluna's status.

"Bu Manda don't go too far, deh," said Alice again. He begins to catch the offended murat from Aluna's face. Because Evan had never looked at himself directly, but they had also been almost 6 months never together again.

"You too. It's poor now, right?! So just shut up. You better think about your mother's hospital expenses. Don't sell yourself to do it. Your father's kasian who committed his sins!" said Manda Ma back to attack Alice. It makes them both angry.

"Udah is Manda's mom, don't add to my problems. I am not interested in a spoiled child under the power of his mother like Soni. I'm not going to go as far away from him as possible!" aluna is sharp.

"Udah bu manda's. Leaving now. What we need to call security for ngusir ibuk," said Alice began to lazily argue.

Manda was at a loss for words. Before leaving he was still nagging and looked still very upset.

Aluna looked at Alice. He smiled at Alice, and so did Alice.

"Lun!" alice hugged Aluna. Aluna hugged him.

They also chatted at one of the cafes.

"No papa, Alice. We can be friends from now on. Thank you for helping me in front of the Manda buk earlier," said Aluna sincerely. "Kok, can you tell the hell the problem is bad?!" ask Aluna to Alice.

"Brian told me the same story. That's why I am looking for you. Uh, didn't know you were hit by Soni's mom again. Evan is also the owner of Soni's company. He paid the ransom for his labor contract, for violating the employment contract. Mending is that. Instead of him working there," said Alice. Aluna felt guilty. Because of his carelessness Evan also suffered the consequences.

"All my fault is Alice. I always get Evan in trouble. I'm not a good wife to Evan" said Aluna sadly. Alice clasped Aluna's sad hands. Aluna smiled as she wiped her tears. There is no point in always regretting it.

"Where are you with Brian. Did you replay it again?!" ask Aluna.

"Udah. Waiting for mama to recover we plan to marry," said Alice. Aluna is happy that finally these two lovebirds can reunite after being separated due to misunderstanding.

"I'm amazed by you Alice. You can be sure it's the same Brian. Even when he cheats on you, you're sure he'll come back" Aluna said in awe.

"Because love has its own conscience, Aluna. Do not use prejudice, try to pack your conscience with him. Conscience always shows the truth that is invisible to the eye!" said Alice. Aluna understood, she always recognized Evan with her prejudices not her conscience. That's why he always misjudges Evan.

On the other side. Evan looks pretty fucked up. He put his stuff on the table. He felt like he was always a failure. There's nothing right that he's been doing lately. He was very depressed with his condition. She went to the bathroom, and started flushing her body with a shower in the bathroom. He tried to find his own calm. He saw his razor. He took it off the shelf in the bathroom.

His mind was starting to get full of bad thoughts. For a moment he lost his mind. He can run away from this problem with this knife. If he doesn't exist then everything will be fine. Evan berahan pointed the knife to the pulse of his hand. And .. he dropped it. No he can't be weak, he's been fighting so far, he can't be weak. He can still continue. He cannot disappoint his parents. He must be strong for them. Evan tried to clear his mind again. He was downcast and sitting limply leaning against the bathroom wall still in a state of wearing his full clothes.

Suddenly his mother called him from outside.

"Van! There's your temen nyariin," exclaimed Rima from the outside.

"Who is it, Mih?!" evan from the bathroom.

"Mommy doesn't know. I think your office," said his mother from outside again.

"Yes, Mih. Just stop!" evan from the bathroom again.

His mother's call just blew away his bad thoughts that had crossed his mind. He put the razor back in its place. He rubbed his face and immediately finished his bath.

SERIATE...
