Lantern Behind The Bars

Transacted friend

*****

Today, as usual I've been doing homework and getting ready to go to school.

Not to forget I asked Mang Nanang and Mang Barus to take care of the mother, after I told them about last night's events, it seems they are more enthusiastic to keep an eye on the mother.

Arriving at school, I attended a student meeting and got some information about the National Examination which will be held in 2 days.

After participating in activities, I sat alone on the stairs to my class, I checked all the CCTV but no suspicious activity, including in the house Gang Cinta or 'dark house' version of me.

It looks so quiet, no one visits. But I saw that there was a car that went into the area of Aunt Isma's house, and it turned out to be her husband, who had just returned from out of town.

And I checked again in the area of the house, it seems safe to control. Then I checked Dad's GPS, like he was on his way home.

'How strange, why suddenly everything looks safe, there is nothing suspicious when I go home. I wanted to unpack all the weirdness that happened today, but there was no more clues at all. Eh yes, as good as I call Mang Barus and Mang Nanang deh, let me go back to the store, because I am afraid my father misunderstood.' my inner.

Then I immediately contacted Mang Barus, telling him to get them back to work immediately.

Sure enough as I thought, shortly after they left, I saw that my father had reached home and met my mother, they seemed to be chatting and giving up each other's longing. I immediately closed the CCTV footage that was in the family room, I was just monitoring in the outside area of the house and Aunt Isma's place.

When I was busy monitoring the situation, suddenly one of my friends came over, then we chatted.

"Hi, what are you doing? Alone?" Sapa Zena's.

"Eh, yes, I'd like to sit here again," I said, just responding as I could.

"Emm... Can I please?"

"Come on, please sit down, please,"

"From that moment I looked up from there," while pointing towards the hall. "You're so excited to see the phone go on,"

"Emm .. No, just join me,"

"Then, that .. until you don't look, surely you don't realize anyone saw it from earlier?"

"Hihi yes, I was focused on joining, so do not realize, sorry …"

"Take it off in focus, there's-there's just. Emm... Do you still want to be here?"

"Hihi..no, I just thought about going home,"

"Do I want to take her, go home?"

"No, thank you, I got on a motorcycle,"

"Emm .. That's it, oh yeah, you're in a hurry?"

"Not really, I'm relaxed today!"

"Yes, go ahead, will you?"

"Where's the road?"

"Yes ... Where, whatever you are, I'm not following you,"

"That's weird, the guy you're asking,"

"So what, what about it?"

"Well, whatever,"

"Hmm, okay, yuk?"

Suddenly my hand was pulled by Zena, I finally stood up, then I got into the Zen car and Zen immediately drove his car.

"Hey, Sherin? Don't bengong aja dong," cetus Zen.

"No, who's dumb, I've been focusing on the front,"

"Where are you going?"

"No idea where you are, where you are,"

"Emm .. Do you like shopping?"

"Like it, I shop every day!"

"What shopping?"

"The same fruit,"

"Hehehe," Zen chuckled. I don't know what he's laughing at, I don't think anything's funny.

"Why are you laughing?"

"It's okay, you're funny too!"

"What's so funny?"

"Emm .. no, it turns out you are also fierce, hihihi,"

"Hmm." I'm getting pissed at Zen.

"Yes .. sorry, sorry, don't be upset napa?"

"No, who's upset?"

"I. Yeah, you want me to go shopping?"

"You're sprained by me?" I looked towards Zen. "Whatever!"

"Canda Sher, yaudah deh, sorry …"

Then Zen took me shopping to the City mall, I just followed him, he also told me to shop for my needs.

"Sherin, you shop gih, whatever it is up to you, just take it,"

"No thanks, I'll give you yes …"

"Emm ... If you help me, will you?"

"What help?"

"I want to buy things, bags, clothes, shoes, and others for someone, but you choose or you try it later?"

"Why am I?"

"Well, you're a girl, you have the same taste, right?"

"Not all girls' tastes are Zen, though,"

"Well, yes, so you want to?"

"Hmm .. Yes it's up to you,"

I finally followed Zena's wishes.

He asked me to try various models of clothes, bags, shoes and others, I followed his wishes.

Zen also bought a laptop for someone, maybe it was his lover.

"Sherin, is that enough yet? Or more, what do you think?"

"Zen, who is this for? Sorry I'm sorry, because why are you so royal with him?"

"Well, is that okay if I'm royal?"

"It's fine, it's your right, that's yours,"

"Emm ... Yeah, so what do you think?"

"If the word I mah yes is up to you, but life does not just need Zen, I mean .. next time can also shop, this is also a lot of words I mah,"

"You are the one who is ..."

"Ter, what's Zen?"

"Best, hihi, okay, so where are we going? Have you eaten yet?"

"I'll go with you, if you eat .. not yet!"

"Have we eaten yet? I'm also hungry, you'll eat out I'll play the game will you?"

"Well, what game?"

"Yes we've been looking for food first, any game we see ntar,"

"OK on."

Then Zen invited me to eat at a cafe.

"What do you want to order, ... uh, Sherin?" Zena said it wrong.

"Just like you," I didn't respond much to Zen's strange behavior.

"Eh, don't you like it?"

"Really huh?"

"Yes,"

"Yes, that's it."

After the order came, Zen and I immediately devoured the food the waiter had just offered, without further ado.

"Sherin, can I ask you a question?"

"Ask what?"

"Eh, it's on your lips ..."

Suddenly, Zen rubbed my lips with his delicate hand.

"Umm .. sorry .. that, anu ... a' I forgot to take a tissue, here I clean again?" Continue Zen. He looked nervous and his movements were awkward.

"Emm ... It's okay, let me do it" I said. Then I immediately took out a piece of tissue.

"Emm .. sorry?"

"Well, that's okay, he said he wanted to ask, ask what?" I just switch the topic immediately, so that the atmosphere does not become awkward again.

"Eh yes, sorry .. so cut yes! It's okay, I just want to ask this 'emm ... will you graduate from High School, where do you plan to go to college?" mutilate. Still looks nervous.

"Oh ... don't know yet, but if I could take her Economy, but how my mother is,"

"Emm .. That's it!"

"Yes, where are you going?"

"I don't know yet, but I must go wherever someone I want to have" she replied in a soft voice.

"Your boyfriend means that?"

"Emm .. That's it! Uh, what kind of game do you like?" Zen seemed to have deliberately switched the conversation.

"I want any game, which is important easily,"

"Oh .. Yes, ntar we are looking for, emm .. do you like dolls?"

"Emc ... Really like it, why? How about talking dolls?"

"It's okay or we ride the roller coaster, have you ever not?"

"Never really!"

"Do we ride that?"

"Emm .. I'm up to you,"

"It's up to you ma'am, if that's what we marry, will you?"

"Well, what's the wedding?"

"Haha joke, abis you're seriously mulu anyway,"

"Hmm."

Zen invited me to test adrenaline by riding a sled, the first time I ventured to try extreme games with Zena. After that zen also invited me to play the claw machine and Zen was very good at playing that game, Zen got many dolls, from small to large.

After tired of all day shopping and playing, Zen and I decided to go home, we immediately brought all the mountain groceries into the car.

"You want to go home, Sher?"

"Yes Zen, because it's late afternoon, I'll have to cook for mother,"

"You cooked? Why is your mother?"

"Yes, my mother is pregnant young, so the doctor said don't be tired first,"

"Wah ... So soon you have a sister dong?"

"Yes, doain, good luck until my sister's born,"

"Yes, I must be the best doain,"

"Thank you, yes,"

"Yes, you're welcome, Oh yeah, I'll drive you home?"

"No need Zen thanks, I'm going home alone, you must be tired too, right?"

"Not so calm, I'm not good if you don't want to go home, I'm going to make sure you walk all day, when I don't anterin home,"

"It's okay Zen, I'm going home by myself!"

"Can't! Anyway I'll take you home."

"Emm .. yaudah if so, it's up to you!"

"That's dong."

We immediately left, on the way Zena continued to invite me to chat.

"Sherin, thank you for letting me know today?"

"Yes Zen, equally,"

"You must be tired all day I've been walking?"

"Not really ordinary, I'm also used to being tired, mah,"

"Emm .. oh yes, later the groceries you brought home?"

"Well, you mean?"

"Yes, all the groceries you brought to your house, it's all for you!"

"What do you mean Zen? I still don't understand,"

"Anyways, all this stuff you bring home, it's for you!"

"Don't you say it's for someone?"

"Yes someone it .. yes you are Sher,"

"Sorry Zen, I can't accept all your gifts, because I ...."

"Why?" Zen immediately chimed in on my words.

"Well, please Zen, I don't like you like this, all this is for your girlfriend, I just help advice doang,"

"Sherin, please accept yes? I just want to treat you anyway, I'm sorry I lied, it was intentionally for you, you end, I bargained this does not want, it does not want, so I had to lie, so I had to lie, I'm sorry, huh? Please don't be angry Okay? Think of it as a school farewell gift? When else can I try to buy you!"

"But Zen ... Why am I the only one you want to treat?"

"Emm .. That, yeah .. I see you're different from the others, so what? Please, will you take my gift?" Zen gave me a vague and slightly unreasonable reason.

"Zen, you're honest with me, you don't mean anything, do you?"

"I just want to talk to you, Sherin, don't mean anything, really, accept? please?" Zen begged me to accept all his gifts.

"But Zen, I'm sorry, not that I don't want to accept, just .. this much stuff I can't accept Zen, this is too much, this is too much, what will my mother say if I come home with this much groceries?"

"Let me help you explain to your mother?"

"But Zen ... "

"Please? Yea? If you don't accept it, I also can't bring this stuff to my house?" timpal. Back to cutting my words.

"Hmm .. Yes, it's up to you!"

"Yes, well that's dong, thank you for receiving mementos from me?" Zena seemed happy, to the exuberance.

"Emm .. I should say thanks to you!"

"Yes, just the same!"

I finally relented and accepted all of Zena's gifts.

Zena is my schoolmate, just a different class, Zena is like a school star, already like a Korean artist who is always idolized by many women, Zena is a good boy, very handsome, smart, smart, also definitely tajir, I heard Zen also has his own business since still Junior High.

Zena has always been a rival material for girls in school, as if they are racing to get Zen's heart or even just looking for attention, but Zen seems to often ignore them, the nature of Zen who is calm, indifferent and rarely talk has always been the hottest chatter in school, Zen is famous also for his stunning achievements, he has always been the champion of his school, he has always been, even if the performance is still below me.

From the time I was in 11th grade, Zena seemed to be watching me from afar, when I was alone or with my other friends.

But I always ignored him, I don't care about anything about him, especially at this time my mind is only focused on the mother's problem.

I admit that, the fact Zen is handsome, kind, considerate, smart, charming and special. Yeah, that's true.

Which woman isn't interested in Zen, but somehow, I feel like I'm feeling normal right now.

I'm not interested in racing for Zena's heart, I accept all my friends are just ordinary friends, including Zena.
