Chapter 33 Happy New Years

After an accidental meeting at the restaurant a few days ago, Brother Zean had sent me some messages but I never replied to him.

Today is the last day of the year, and at the end of this year the rain is still faithfully observed every day.

I still enjoy the semester break, before tomorrow after the new year I will re-enter and be busy with exam preparation. After the exam is over maybe I will still be busy looking for school.

I was also busy with tutoring outside of school and private English with brother Dion at home. Somehow I was so excited about learning English with Brother Dion, maybe because I had decided to go to medical school the way I wanted so I decided to get everything ready from now on. My decision this time was not just because of pressure from my mother, since the incident on the beach some time ago I began to be interested in studying medicine, he said, in addition, when at home I took the time to read the medical book owned by sister Ega whose contents attracted my attention.

To this day, almost a month after me and sister Ega returned home, we still have not heard from mother, me and sister Ega also have not planned to visit mother. What we did was actually wrong, but said sister Ega there is a point too, maybe you need space for yourself, to reflect on what you have done to us. But really deep down, I've never hated mom, maybe it's true said mom, everything she did was for my own good, she loved me so much just the way she said it hurt me a little.

New Year's Eve this time I decided to go with brother Dion to Arum's house because sister Ega will celebrate the new year with her friends at the hospital or rather sister Ega will do operations with his team on New Year's Eve. But we already planned to take a walk the next day, the first day of the new year of course.

Don't ask me why I agreed to go to Arum's, of course, because I don't want to go through the new year's night alone or maybe I miss someone I might meet at Arum's. So far, this second somehow I still can not forget him, whether tomorrow or the day after tomorrow maybe I can forget it, but I decided to enjoy the moment of my first love, my unrequited love.

I woke up this morning, I took a shower and went down to the kitchen to find something to eat. As usual, sister Ega had prepared breakfast for me before leaving for work and did not miss a note that always sister Ega wrote for me.

Spicy chicken fried rice, if it's cold again, the egg is only one, we run out of eggs apparently, later to buy before leaving, until we meet one year later 😊

I smiled reading a message from Brother Ega, then I sat at the dinner table enjoying breakfast alone.

I spent my time just in the room, watching Korean dramas until I forgot the time. I stretched my stiff muscles because I just lay down all day. As I was about to take a shower, the bell rang, I went down and opened the door.

" Aren't you ready?" Ask Brother Dion when the door opens and see me still messy.

" Just take a shower, come in first."

"Wait a moment, brother, I'm ready first, if you want to drink take it yourself."

Brother Dion just nodded and smiled at me, I left Brother Dion in the living room while I hurriedly went up to the room to get ready.

After about half an hour I went out of the room and went down. I wear a peach t-shirt and I mix it with a white midi skirt and then the colored sneakers match my midi skirt. I walked over to Dion's sister who was still sitting on the sofa in the living room.

" Come brother, not a sloth, is it?"

" Wow".

" Why brother, I'm strange in my appearance."

" Beautiful." Answer Dion briefly.

After hearing enough praise from Brother Dion, we finally went to Arum's house, fortunately it did not rain as usual tonight.

When I got to Arum's place, it turned out that everyone had gathered there, including someone I missed so much but did not reveal.

" Why is it so long ago that Ndi's grandfather." Arum protested when he saw my presence in their midst.

" I'm sorry, I forgot, thankfully, brother Dion took me home." I clearly.

" Oh yeah." Arum's voice sounded not as excited as before.

Dion and I joined the others who were busy preparing the materials we were going to burn tonight. It was like coming back to the moment when we were all staying at Villa.

I sat with Arum watching the bachelors who were busy with their grilled corn.

" Hmmm.."

" Hmm." Arum mimicked my answer but in a louder voice.

" Are you sure you want to give up on Zean's sister?" Ask Arum again.

" Yes." Yeah."

" Why?"

" Fatty with Rum. If he really likes me, I don't have to fall and wake up chasing him, he should have come to me himself. Anyway maybe this is just monkey love."

Arum patted me on the shoulder, nodded then smiled hearing my answer. Our conversation stopped because Dawn called Arum and he left me alone again. I smiled seeing Brother Dion approaching me carrying two grilled corns in his hands. Brother Dion sat down next to me and gave me the grilled corn he was carrying. As we were enjoying the grilled corn, suddenly Dion's cell phone rang.

" Oh shit, why the hell now." Dion's sister looks upset after opening a message on her phone.

" Why brother?"

" E-mail from the campus, he said there is some data that needs to be verified."

" Nights like this, brother?"

" It may be daytime in London."

Brother Dion is planning to take S2 at one of the best universities in the world in London, England.

" Wanna go home now?"

" How about if I go home first, later after everything is done I pick you up again here, I love you already out even did not see the fireworks."

I agreed to the advice of Dion's sister, she then said goodbye to her friends and left us.

After Dion's departure, Brother Zean came to me who was sitting with his hands folded on his chest.

" When it's easy to get cold, why don't you bring a jacket anyway." Said Brother Zean while putting his jacket on my body and sitting next to me.

" Forgot." Answer's short.

Silent, we were silent, only the sound of our breathing was intertwined, several times Brother Zean stared at me but I pretended not to notice.

I also had Natasha look at us several times with a cynical look, I don't know where my fault is but since I first met, Brother Natasha has been beating the drums of war on me. Isn't it strange that a mature woman is hostile to a little girl like me.

Time keeps changing, it's coming through the middle of the night but brother Dion hasn't come back yet either.

Duars.. Duaars.. The sound of fireworks indicates the year has changed. I looked at the sky this time rained down by thousands of colorful fireworks, adorning the darkness of the night with beauty. Brother Zean took my hand and held it with Erat, I turned towards him, he was looking up his head while closing his eyes, as if he were praying on this colourful night.

Lord, if this is just a momentary feeling please immediately remove this feeling, but if You have a beautiful plan for my feelings then let him bloom in my heart.

Seriate.....
