Lara My love

Chapter 17 Come home with me

After receiving a phone call from sister Ega I did not go straight out to the yard, I went back to the room to save the phone that was returned by Brother Zean. I do not like to bring a cell phone if there is a gathering event like this, it feels like disturbing a moment of togetherness.

Since everyone was downstairs, it felt like going upstairs alone was a bit of horror. After putting the phone down and charging it I went out of the room and locked the door.

" Pril." I heard someone calling my name.

I was still holding the doorknob and was silent, until a hand touched my shoulder.

"Frank." Deuteronomy.

I turned towards my shoulder and saw a palm that looked big, my mind was gone, it felt like I wanted to scream, the crashing atmosphere made me even more frightened.

" Well, are you okay?."

Hearing the usual question asked by someone made me a little relieved, I adjusted my breath and turned around. Sure enough it turns out that Zean's brother is behind me. I breathed a breath of relief.

" Why are you, rich enough to see ghosts to sweat gini?" He asked while wiping the sweat on my forehead.

" You're his ghost." I replied Upsetly, then brushed off Zean's leg when he would wipe the rest of my forehead.

" Why are you here, afraid?" I wonder why he is always where he is.

" Meet me at the place last night after dinner!"He then left without hearing my answer.

He seemed very confident that I would come to see him. Strange human being, this morning till noon he seems to be avoiding me, why he wants to stick to me in the afternoon and at night. I shook my head trying not to think about Brother Zean's fickle attitude. I need to get down before everyone realizes my absence.

" Where else?" Asked Arum who seemed to realize I was leaving.

" From the room, my phone ran out of battery."

" Oh. It's yours, mama's separated." Arum thrust a plate containing meat that has been grilled, grilled meatballs and grilled sausages of course.

" Thanks." I received the plate while smiling excitedly at the food.

We sat in a circle with a bonfire burning in the middle. Om Fajar plays the guitar while sister Viona sings along with him. Natasha looks busy asking Zean for something even though Zean doesn't seem to respond. While I, Arum and Brother Dion, we were busy chewing and telling each other stories. Dion's sister is very funny. While in the distance Om Suryo and Aunt Marisa are still busy with the furnace, they look very happy, maybe because they rarely have a moment of togetherness like this.

I held back my tears when I witnessed the togetherness of the two Arum parents, the longing for the warmth of the parents suddenly spread throughout my body, if there was sister Ega tonight I would definitely not be as sad as this.

The night was getting late, at last our meal was over, we went back to our rooms to rest. I went back to my room and forgot what Zean said. I took off my clothes and replaced them with nightgowns. I grabbed my phone, took off the charger cord and carried it over the bed. I turned on my phone, the notification sounds kept repeating, I got a lot of short messages apparently. I opened them one by one to a message that made me want to jump off the bed.

" I'm sleeping."

" Why so long?"

" Hye, you're sleeping."

" I'm cold here."

" I'm waiting for you."

Reading the message I immediately ran out of the room and towards the beach where we met at sunset.

From a distance I saw Brother Zean sitting, his head turned to the sky and his hands extended backwards to support his body. I walked over, Brother Zean turned his head and smiled, he changed his sitting position, patting the sand next to him telling me to sit there. Like a dazed man I approached him and sat down next to him. Suddenly Brother Zean took off his jacket and put it on my back, I turned and he smiled warmly.

" Why do you like wearing your short-sleeved shirt?" His words answered all the questions that didn't actually come out of my mouth about the jacket.

Stinging that sentence, I just realized that I was out only using sleepwear with hair tied carelessly. Because I was already embarrassed by my appearance, I casually fix the jacket and wear it to my body regardless of the owner of the jacket cold or not.

" What's up?" Ask me to take it after I finish wearing my jacket.

" Just want to talk." His reply made me disbelieve, I thought he was going to talk about something serious, I ran here after getting a message from him and he lightly said he just wanted to talk.

" Where did my sister get my number?" I asked in an annoyed tone.

" Fucking thief." My grunts and just got a smile from Brother Zean.

" Tomorrow let me take your brother's car and drive you home." Say again.

" Does you mean brother?"My answer sounds pretty stupid.

" Don't your brother tell you to ask someone to take his car and drive you home?"

" Where do you know?" I'm curious.

" I was there this afternoon."

" How can it be?" Ask me again

" It wasn't too far from Villa, I was relaxing in the yard and I saw people crowding, I got curious and when I came to the crowd I saw your brother was helping someone. Well, your brother is great.

" Oh. My brother is great." Praise

" Are you going to be a doctor?"

" I don't know, I still have doubts?" I'm lirih.

" Why?"

" Why should I tell my sister, whose sister is it?" I pretended to be careless when in there my heart would jump out so excited to be able to sit alone with Brother Zean.

" I, um, your friend, maybe?" The answer is half doubt.

" I don't like being friends with my parents." Ledekku while holding back laughter.

" i. Old-fangled. I'm 23 years old, you know? you are still a child." Say again.

" Okay, looks like we can't be friends, I'm still a kid, right?

" That's not what I meant. So we're friends, right? "Take again.

" It depends on how you treat me."

" you mean?"

" Sister's mother's been avoiding me all day, why now you suddenly want to be friends, do you have a double personality?"

" I'm not avoiding you, I'm just thinking a lot today." Defend oneself.

" We're friends, right?" Ask me again, which I then say.

" Tomorrow will I go home with me?" Bargain again.

" How is your car?"

" Let it be taken with Dawn."

" Hmm, okay!" I agree with Zean's invitation.

We throw each other a smile, then fall silent and enjoy the sound of waves and the glitter of stars that spark their light adorning the night sky.

The night was getting late, the beach breeze felt so cold to the bone, my sister and I Zean decided to return to Villa, and, along the way we talked a lot about each other and I felt very comfortable being next to him. I'm happy tonight without realizing our closeness might make someone angry about it.

Seriate...
