Lara My love

Chapter 9 Still on Arzean Wijaya

The clock was already showing at one in the morning and my eyes still felt so fresh, several times I tried to close my eyes but it didn't seem to work at all.

I folded my hands behind my head and noticed a large photo across from my bed. A family photo was taken while celebrating my graduation from High School and I accidentally printed a large size and I put it in my room. Ah I miss them so much, it has been almost 6 months they have not returned to this country.

My parents were businessmen who were said to be quite famous in this country. Our family has several 5-star hotels and also restaurants in several major cities in the country. But in the last year both my parents are focusing on introducing Indonesian culinary abroad, more precisely in California, my hometown. And because of their busyness I had to let them live abroad for a while.

I changed my position, I sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the two phones that were chuckling on the nightstand, I grabbed one of them and watched closely, he said, not feeling the tip of my lips slightly raised created a smile when I remembered the incident this afternoon.

I had just finished eating with my friends when my eyes fell on a girl who seemed familiar to me, I watched her carefully and it was true that she was him, the little girl who some time ago landed right in my arms because she fell from public transport and the girl who the other day I delivered to her house with Dawn.

I saw him walking with a grown man and walking towards the cinema. Is that her lover? I don't know what I was thinking at the time, I followed them from behind as if I was catching my lover wet having an affair with another man.

They went into the cinema, the little girl was waiting in line to buy a ticket while the man was at the popcorn sales. After finishing with the ticket and popcorn they were seen discussing something, the man's face looked so serious and before long the man left the little girl alone.

I saw the frustration on the girl's face, naturally, if I were her maybe I was crazy because I was living alone on a date. Whether I got a push from where suddenly my legs stepped closer to the girl, she raised her head and looked surprised when she saw me, it was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight. But there was something even more shocking to me when I heard Ze's name coming out of his mouth, how did it sound so beautiful when he said it?

I tried to be calm and approached and sat down next to him. He still looks surprised by my arrival. I took a slow breath and ventured to ask him, why does he look sad and why is he in the cinema alone? And the other unexpected thing she answered all my questions, she said she was staying by her brother because of emergency surgery .

Looking at the two tickets in his hand, with complete confidence I offered to watch with him, oh God would put where my face would be if he refused. But my fear turned out to be unwarranted, I had nothing to be ashamed of because she accepted my offer to accompany her.

Inside we just kept quiet, there was no conversation except I helped him who had trouble opening the bottle cap, and everything was going normally until I accidentally startled him and made his phone fall. I was right by accident at that time, I only whispered a little near his ear but beyond my expectations he was surprised and threw his phone just like that. Am I really a ghost? why is it that every time I see him he's always surprised? Ah, forget it.

I stopped my bike in the lobby yard when I saw the girl still standing there and with a worried-looking face, feeling guilty for breaking her phone, yes, even if it wasn't a hundred percent of my fault, I approached him and offered him a ride. At first he refused and I was a little disappointed to be rejected by him. I ended up lying to him a little bit if there was no taxi at this time and he just believed me, I felt a little guilty, right, but why am I even happy this way when he confirms my offer.

I sat on the plastic chair while she was ordering, I watched her for a moment. Beautiful little girl, I murmured in my heart. His appearance is very simple, he only wears black jeans, white T-shirts with V-shaped collar models and flatshoes that make him look mature, he said, though as far as I know he is only in 3rd grade Junior High and maybe he is only about 15 years old.

I immediately averted my gaze when I saw him walking towards me and sitting right in front of me. I felt like I was dead that day, not a word came out of my mouth until I remembered the broken phone, I stuck out my hand asking for her phone and intended to fix it but she seemed to mind me a little.

I forcefully grabbed her phone as she slurped it from her bag. He was about to recapture but I put it in my pants pocket and happened to order us came so there was no need for a scene of each other fighting over mobile phones.

This time I was surprised to see the fried rice in front of me with a topping of two plucked eggs on it, I asked him and casually he replied that the beef eye eggs should be two eggs, the eyes of the cow are twofold. Hmmm true too, maybe if the egg is just one is no longer a cow's eye egg.

I smiled as I saw her stuffing mouth after mouth into her tiny mouth voraciously, it seemed like this was the first time for me to see a girl eating so voraciously and finishing all her fried rice without any residue.

Looks like something is missing from all this coincidence. A name? Yes name, I don't know his name at all, but he always said my name in every conversation we had and I just called him with hey you, isn't that very rude.

Finally I ventured to ask his name with the reason to make it easier when returning his phone later. Prylatia, that's how she introduced herself. She also handed over her sister's doctor's business card, saying I could call her brother if the phone was fixed. Seems like the surprise is not finished yet, the girl suddenly asked for my personal account number, she said she would transfer the mobile phone repair fee. Ah really sweet girl.

I took off the hoodie I was wearing when I saw the girl rubbing her arms a few times with her palms, it seemed like she was cold. I handed her my hoodie, she stared confusedly but then grabbed my hoodie and put it on. I couldn't help but laugh as my hoodie turned into a robe as she wore it, whether my body size was so big or she was so small anyway, I murmured inwardly as I tried to stop the laughter.

He looked resigned to seeing his appearance and finally we continued the journey. After arriving, he handed over the helmet and left without a word. I was silent, confused and had no other topic to discuss so I just let it pass.

"Frank." Suddenly I called him. I cursed myself in my heart, why should I call him, what should I tell him, you idiot. I saw him stop and turn towards me, and like a bad man I asked back for my hoodie he was wearing comfortably. He patted his own forehead, then removed the hoodie and handed it back to me. I immediately put on the hoodie and said goodbye to go home, it felt like I had no face left to stay there.

Seriate..
