Kei And Layla

Chapter 4: The sacred love of Layla and Kei

Every dawn comes, it's a happy time for Layla. The morning Layla always looked forward to during her encounter with Kei. Layla looks well in her school uniform. For a moment he stared at his face in the mirror as he chanted a verse about Kei. She smiles and looks at her face in the mirror and leaves her room and meets Surya and Anita at the dinner table.

"For Dad, morning Mom." Layla sat on the chair and took a piece of bread that Anita had prepared.

"Are you any better, baby?" ask Surya to Layla.

"It's Dad" Layla replied as she chewed bread.

"You look happy, son, what's wrong?" Anita smiled watching the princess just wayangnya.

"No Ma'am" Layla replied as she picked up a glass on the table and sipped warm milk.

"How did you learn at school?" ask Surya.

"Well, I won't let you down." Layla's reply made her two parents happy and proud. Surya's family, which is reluctant to many people, makes him even more proud of the news of his famous daughter through the writing of the verse Layla made every time he participated in the race.

"It's noon, we're leaving Layla." Surya glanced at his watch. Then he got up from his seat and kissed Anita on the top of his head.

"I'll go first, Mom." Layla kissed Anita's hand and she turned back to her father who had gone out of the house. Then they went to school.

Ten minutes later they had arrived before the gate. Surya and Layla get out the car door.

"For the sir" said Dirman security at Layla's school.

"For Mr. Dirman!" surya looked at Dirman who was standing in front of the school gate.

"Layla, let's go in there" Surya touched Layla's shoulder.

"Good Dad!" Layla stepped on her feet while waving at Surya. Later then. Then Surya said goodbye to Dirman, then he went back into the car to his office.

Meanwhile Layla stepped on her feet in a relaxed manner.

"Girl!"

Layla looked back, and she saw Kei running from the gate towards her. Layla smiled looking at Kei.

"Let's go in." Kei immediately pulled Layla's hand and tightly grasped Layla's hand.

"Let's! Layla!

Kei and Layla turned towards the sound. Three of his friends were walking up to him.

" Layla, why don't you go to school?" stela asked Layla.

"I'm sick" Layla replied, and they walked together to the classroom.

"Well, Kei's rich in hot worms you're not going to school." Tempted Asha as she closed her mouth chuckling.

"Custom, right? people are in love that way" Valeri said.

"Chi." Layla just chuckled in response to the babbling of her friend. While Kei remained calm and indifferent. Whatever he said to his three friends. He kept walking by holding Layla's hand.

Arriving in class all students sit on their benches. Until Hana came to class and gave orders to all students to do the task. While others are busy doing their job. Layla and Kei keep looking at each other between work. They even throw paper at each other and write down the verses they make. Layla and Kei are sons of distinguished men. But what makes them unique is that they do not use cell phones like most children the age of Kei and Layla. They are not interested in using a cell phone. They are more fun to give poetry by handwriting using paper.

One day, their teacher finds Kei and Layla throwing paper at each other and writing beautiful verse. The teacher picked it up and read it in class so that all the students in the class laughed at them both.

"Give me a glance!" kei looked at his classmates.

"Huuuu!!" replied the student.

But it doesn't bother Kei and Layla at all, they're in love drunk. Since then, Kei and Layla have become the gossip material of one school. Desas desus their closeness was heard up to one school. Who doesn't know Kei and Layla? their love story is really unique and makes friends like the verse made Layla that they initially scorned.

Day after day Kei and Layla are getting more and more inseparable. If Kei is not there, Layla will look for him in all classrooms, and vice versa. The more days their love gets bigger and stronger. It was as if the world belonged to just the two of them. They don't care about anything else. Not infrequently they also get insults from their classmates. But that didn't make Kei and Layla angry or ashamed at all. All Layla and Kei had in mind was about the love of the two of them.

Until the news of their closeness was heard by the two parents Kei. At first they did not believe the news. Because Kei's parents assume that their son is too young to live out love as people say. "Ah you're just kidding me" said Abdul Mercia. Abdul Mercia is the father of Kei. A famous businessman in the field of convection.

"I don't know either, sir, the news is that" replied Alya Ahmad Ibu of Kei.

"That's it, ma'am, you don't have to worry. They were teenagers, and most of it was also monkey love" Abdul said.

"Later in the afternoon Kei can not go anywhere, Dinda Pak Yuda's daughter will come play here" Abdul told his wife.

"Okay sir, may this be the best path for our family. I don't want us to fall poor." Alya sulks at Abdul, currently their company is in a state of financial crisis.

"I will not let that happen, even if our efforts are in crisis." Abdul got up from his seat and picked up a newspaper on another table.

"I'll go first, ma'am, don't forget my message." Abdul stepped his foot towards the door. Without waiting for an answer from Alya.

Alya took a deep breath. Being poor is a scary thing for him. She could not imagine her life later if her husband went through bankruptcy. Luckily for Alya and Abdul there is a famous businessman named Yuda who wants to help and pour money with a fantastic amount on the condition they want to match Kei with his daughter named Dinda. Dinda Yuda's daughter is older than Kei. Dinda is not a girl that no man likes. But no man dared to approach Dinda the son of the richest man.

"Krieigg!!

The sound of the school bell ringing. All the students were seen scattering out of the classroom towards the school grounds. Stela, Asha and Valeri are seen walking together with Kei and Layla. " Layla, you want to stay with us today to do PR at Asha's house?" valeri asked Layla.

"By" Layla replied.

"You're coming with Kei?" ask Layla to Kei.

"Sure dong" Kei replied smilingly staring at Layla.

"Cieeeee!" Three of his friends tease Kei and Layla. While the one in tease just smile. Asha, Valeri and Stela already knew about the relationship between Kei and Layla. And as friends of Layla and Kei, of course they are very supportive. In fact, it is not uncommon for them to defend Kei and Layla if there are friends who are gossiping Layla and Kei.

Arriving outside the gate of a parked red car. A woman wearing a brown dress came out of the car door.

"Mother?" kei murmured softly but was clearly heard by the others.

"Let's!" exclaim Alya.

"Mother? Tumben's mom pick me up?" kei asked frowning. The feeling is starting to feel bad. Because it's not usually Alya to pick up her son back from school.

"Kei let's go home" said Alya.

Alya pulled Kei's arm, but Kei brushed off Alya's hand. Making Alya frown at Kei, Alya did not understand Kei's attitude.

"Siang Aunt" said Asha and the others in unison.

"Children, do you want to go home?" alya asked looking at Layla and the others alternately.

"Yes aunty" replied Layla.

"Key, let's go home. Dinda's going to play in our house this afternoon." Alya explains why she picked up Kei at school.

"But Ma'am?" Kei glanced at Layla who was bowing her head. Kei could see Layla's sad face.

"Nothing but a tapi. Let's go!" Alya pulled Kei's hand until Kei's hand with Layla came off.

"Mom, comeon. I'm gonna play first. I promise I'll be home in time." Kei tried to persuade his mother to give him permission to play first. But Alya doesn't want to know. He still forced Kei to go home. Kei doesn't want to make Layla sad.

"Mom, I beg you." Kei folded into his two hands begging.

"No!" exclaim Alya. He pulls Kei's hand and opens the door and forces Kei to get into the car.

While Layla could only stare at Kei who was already in the car sadly.

" Kei." he said slowly.

The car that Kei was riding in drove away from school.

Layla runs after Kei's car.

"Key !!

Asha, Valeri and Stela looked at each other for a moment. Then the three of them chased after Layla who was running. They chase Layla because they are worried that there will be another car grazing her.

" Yeah!" asha then hugged Layla's body and held her back.

"Yeah, Asha..Kei "he said softly staring at the car that Kei was riding in until it disappeared from his view.

"It's Layla, maybe Kei has family business. You can see him again tomorrow." Stela rubbed Layla's back.

Layla fell silent and cried sobbing. "Kei" he said between tears.

Stela, Asha and Valeri are stunned to see Layla being so hysterical as Kei is away from her.

They did not understand the two friends at all.

"Layla, we're taking you home, okay?" stela and Valeri said as they felt sorry for Layla. Layla nodded her head while wiping her tears on her cheeks.

"Come on." Stela pulls Layla's arm.

Stela, and the others eventually cancel to study together. They choose to drive Layla home and study together without Layla and Kei. Along the way there was no joke they used to do. Because Layla was sad and from her tiny lips only mentioned one name many times.

"Key"

Meanwhile. Kei arriving at home is angry at Alya for separating him from Layla. Alya did not understand the unusual attitude of her son. Kei's a quiet, submissive kid who hasn't spoken much all this time. Alya thought could it be that the girl being preached had a bad influence on Kei?

"If you keep acting like this, I'll make sure you don't go to school again Kei!"

Alya yelled at her son for not being able to bear hearing Kei said. Then he pulled Kei's hand and forcefully put it into his room and locked the door from the outside. Kei sat under the bed. She cried because she remembered Layla's face at school looked sad.

"Layla" he mumbled. Time goes on like slow. Kei kept thinking about Layla, her lover. He could not forgive himself for making Layla sad.

Until the afternoon changed. Judah and Dinda came to visit as promised. Alya and Abdul welcomed their guests with a sumringah and let them both into the house. Abdul asks Alya to call Kei in his room.

Kei gets up from his seat hoping Layla comes to see him. When the door opened Kei smiled.

" Layla" he muttered softly. But what came was not what Kei expected. The one who came was his own mother.

"Kei, come with me" said Alya looking at Kei who looked disappointed.

"No" Kei replied coldly and then sat back on the edge of the bed.

"Key." Alya again persuaded Kei to come along. But Kei remained sitting unmoved in his place. Until Alya's patience is gone.

"Let's !!"

Alya snaps at Kei and pulls Kei's hand forcing him to come to meet Yuda and Dinda.

"So your attitude, or I won't let you go to school anymore." Alya intimidates her own son and Kei chooses silence instead of answering Alya's remarks.

Arriving in the living room. Alya and Abdul introduce Kei to Yuda and Dinda. Kei just kept quiet and didn't say much. While Dinda already likes Kei at first sight. Who doesn't like a handsome guy with blond hair and big, black eyes.

"How Sir?" abdul asked Yuda.

"I agree Mr. Abdul, what about you Dinda?" ask Yuda to his daughter. Dinda smiled and nodded her head.

"I agree, today I will transfer all the money I promised" Yuda said.

Then he took the phone in his front shirt pocket. And began to transfer some money on behalf of Abdul Mercia. Abdul and Alya smiled happily as they did not fall poor. While Kei who only noticed and understood the flow that occurred. He stood up and cried as it happened. "Mother and Dad are bad!!" Kei ran towards his room and slammed the door. Making Alya and Abdul and his two guests surprised.

"I'm sorry for our son sir." Alya looked at Yuda who felt bad for Kei's attitude.

Abdul also apologized and explained that Kei was still a child. Yuda understood and did not question Kei's attitude. Eventually, they agree to match Kei with Dinda. For reasons for the good of the family.
