Lara My love

Chapter 95 Sweet seveneen

Four months have passed, the longing for Zean as if he had huddled in the heart, the difference in time so far makes it difficult for us to communicate except on weekends.

It's past midnight and I'm still sitting there staring at my laptop screen hoping that Zean will call Vidio tonight.

I propped my head up with both hands, moments later my laptop lit up and got me excited.

" Hay brother." I opened the conversation.

" Not slept?" Ask Brother Ega from across the street.

Although not what I was waiting for, I feel very happy because sister Ega also rarely gives news.

" Not yet brother. Brother how are you?"

" Well, how's your school?"

I smiled as I looked at the face of Brother Ega on my laptop, he looked thinner than before.

" My school is also smooth, it's just that I'm often late because lately it's often jammed." I propped my head up with both hands, I was singing my lips as I complained to Brother Ega.

Brother Ega laughed at the expression on my face "You're 17 now, brother allows you to bring your own vehicle to school, but you must have a SIM first."Said Ega's sister who made me remember that today was my birthday.

" Happy birthday, brother always prays his best for you and for all your happiness."

" Thank you, big brother, it's so sad that you're not here to be with me on my birthday."

After saying good prayers for me, we continued our conversation until the early morning. Sister Ega ended her call when she saw me getting sleepy and without me realizing I was asleep, my head was leaning on my study table.

I tried to open my eyes when the alarm on my phone rang, my body felt sore because of sleeping while sitting down.

Just like the days before, my daily life was so boring without Zean and Ega, my activities were just that, getting up early, going to school, going home, and doing it, additional tutoring then returned home as the sun began to hide.

This morning was the same, no different from the previous morning, I rushed to the bathroom after my alarm went off, then went down to breakfast before leaving for school.

I rolled my eyeballs lazily when I found no one at the dinner table, it looks like my mother has left for work, maybe she has a meeting this morning so she can't prepare breakfast for me, mother even forgets my birthday.

I glanced at the excitement, my eyes fixed on a motor sport owned by sister Ega and immediately my smile developed "Wait for me." I said pointing at the motor.

Even at school it feels normal, because of the busy schedule of learning today, my two friends forgot about my birthday.

I spent today with so many breaths, why my sweet seventeen was no sweetness at all.

Still with the same routine after school I went straight to my tutoring place. There was nothing special and made me want to go home soon.

I stared at the house that still looks dark to make things clear if no occupants have returned home, you know this is better I went to visit Sam and play with him on my birthday that is not as beautiful as his nickname, he said, sweet seventeen's.

" Surprice." Shouted Arum and Dita together, then came the sound of trumpets being blown by the mother.

I smiled but soon after I sobbed, not because I was sad, I was just moved, I thought they had forgotten the day of my birth.

" Happy birthday dear, may you remain a humble and loving child." Mother's prayer while hugging me lovingly.

" Happy birthday best friend, never change and never forget us."Arum and Dita compactly hugged me, in my heart just keep being grateful because I have them.

" Where's the cake?" My bill is because they don't take out the tart, it doesn't feel like years without blowing out the candles and cutting the cake.

" the cake......" Arum said softly, he bowed his head with a sad face.

" Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to you."🎼🎼🎶🎶

My surprise was not finished yet, I cried in disbelief to see the figure I was protecting standing in front of me with a tart cake decorated with a number 17 candle on it. It is fitting from yesterday could not be contacted, it turns out he was preparing this surprise.

Without hesitation I immediately hugged Brother Zean, so sensitive Arum immediately took over the tart from Zean's hands, so that Brother Zean more freely returned my embrace, I was so happy that I forgot that my mother was watching us.

I shuffled and slowly took off my arms when I realized that my mother was looking at me in disbelief, but from her gaze I did not see the slightest anger there that made me smile with relief.

" Be my sweet and kind little girl, God may be tired of hearing my prayers for you, but I will not stop praying for you, may your life be blessed." Brother Zean looked at me sincerely, his blue eyes were still the same as before, so soothing as I looked at him, his lips were still busy chanting prayers for me.

" When did you get there, why didn't you tell me?" The question that had been so far I wanted to hold and I only had time to ask after this sudden birthday event was over.

Arum and Dita immediately went home because the sky was getting dark, they refused when I offered them to stay over.

" This morning, I missed you so much." Brother Zean took me in his arms, I looked around before returning his arms, when I felt safe because my mother had entered his room I immediately returned the embrace of Zean, someone I so longed for.

" When did you leave?" I asked with an unclear surara because my mouth was immediately gagged with a kiss from Brother Zean.

" The day after tomorrow and the morning flight."

" Why so fast." My protest, I felt so unfair, four months I waited for him and he only gave me two days to let go of all my yearning.

" I'm sorry, my college schedule is getting crowded, I can only empty my schedule for a few days."

I went back into Zean's arms, I didn't want to ruin this happiness just because Zean only came home for a little while. The main point is how tomorrow we will spend time together and let go of that stifled longing for four months.

" I'm sorry I didn't bring you a gift." Said Brother Zean while stroking my head which was still in his arms.

" This is my card and I don't want another gift." My words are spoiled and I'm tightening my arms.

If I can't imagine that I want to stop time, I still want to linger with Brother Zean, if I know long distance relationships are so torturous, I better hold it back from going, there are also many best universities with S2 programs. I'm sorry I let him go.

SERIATE....
