Lara's Admirers

Episode 58's

"Thank you doc...." My word.

"Alright, it looks like I don't need to give you any more medicine." Reply to the doctor.

"We have to leave again soon, goodbye..." Further.

"Don't let this flower stay here when you come home, take it with you. Someday you'll need it." The bull lady's chimpanzee.

I chose to say only his words. I was lazy to argue with him. After that they immediately came out of this place.

"Let aunt call Renata first." Said aunt while taking her old cell phone.

"They're on the plane again, if not raised how?"

"The plane will fly at nine o'clock."

"It's up to my aunt." Just give it away.

Suddenly I remembered the words of Sister Bule. How does he know if I'm gonna let that chrysanthemum flower in here, I think he's a real fortune teller. Besides why he should be so pretentious about the flower, he said I'd need it, but why try.

Wait a minute, there's something strange. I just realized that the flower is still fresh even though I didn't put it in a vase filled with water. The chrysanthemum flowers do not wither or are damaged at all. Still as fresh as when I first received it. But yeah, I don't want to worry about that.

The aunt who was busy talking on the phone finally stepped out for a while. Even though there is no noise here at all, maybe he does not want me to listen to his conversation or it could be a signal is also less good.

I picked up a bunch of chrysanthemum flowers that were located next to me already since last night.

"How did you come here?" I muttered slowly.

Although I knew this flower would not be able to answer, I was still curious. I immediately put the flower back in its place.

Maybe I can just go home after lunch. The doctor will check my condition once again to make sure, and if the results are satisfactory, they will immediately remove this infusion needle. It's been for days under the flow of my capillaries. I hope the doctor doesn't come with the bule woman again.

"Auntie was already calling Renata, he said they ran out of the airport will go straight here. Let all the way back home, so don't go back and forth." Obviously aunty who knows when after coming back into this room.

"Yes, whatever." Short reply.

The middle-aged woman immediately cleaned up all my personal items that were deliberately brought here. Not much indeed, just a few pieces of clothing and other needs. I actually wanted to help her, but my current condition is very unlikely. I feel bad if I have to always bother him like this.

****

I immediately finished my last mouthful, then cleaned my mouth with a wet tissue. Everything was ready, the things I was going to bring back home were neatly arranged by the door. Just waiting for them to pull out my infusion, after that I can go straight home.

"Excuse me...." Pass someone from the door.

Finally, the shoots in ulam love arrived. I just finished eating them right up. Faster is much better.

"It feels better." Ask the doctor.

I nodded quickly so excitedly.

"All right let me handle one more problem." He said while pressing his gloves.

Then he grabbed one of my hands. Slowly he pulled a metal stick into the back of my hand. I grimaced with the pain of enduring the pain that I could not describe in words anymore. I don't even dare to see how that thing gets out of there. It was too horrible for me.

"It's done..." He said as he rubbed my hand with an alcoholic cotton swab.

I opened my eyelids timidly. It turns out the wound is not too big, even barely visible. Fortunately at the time of installing this infusion needle I was unconscious, so I could be a little relieved because I did not have time to feel how the pain.

After they left, I immediately stroked my delicate hand which still felt sore due to the effects of alcohol.I really hated this place a long time ago.

"Hi...." Someone behind the door.

"Huh! Who else came here?!" My mind is in my heart.

Suddenly a fashionable woman just grabbed me. He hugged me so tightly, even I had trouble moving.

Oh, so it turns out they've arrived here. The parents chose to sit on the sofa. I know that his back needs to be relaxed for a while after the long journey.

Not with this young lady. He didn't even give me a warning first. Anyway Renata has to take responsibility if I die from suffocation.

"Come on, let go of me! It's so stuffy here, his clothes sweat too. Oh my gosh, that's so disgusting." My mind is in my heart.

"Take me off!" I said in a higher tone.

I can't stand all this anymore. I might even faint on the spot right now. I can't stay stuck in a situation like this any longer.

A second later he immediately released his death grip from me.

"I'm sorry....." He said as if he were innocent.

I can finally breathe now. It's much better than the one before.

"Make sure you wear a deodorant today! Your smell almost kills me slowly." Chirp me.

"Hey! I'm not that bad!" Reply while grunting annoyed.

I immediately shook my hand right in front of my sense of smell, hoping that I could breathe some fresh air.

"Where's Mutual?" My toot.

I didn't find that guy in this room. Didn't they go and go home together. Don't tell me that the man who is going to marry my older sister is even left behind by the plane.

"Oh, he's waiting in the car. He said let someone take care of the car in the parking lot." Evidently.

My mouth is perfectly round and it says, "oh....."

"Let's go home!" Take me.

"So soon, papa needs a little break." Papa's voice from the end of the room.

I hissed harshly hearing the answer from papa. I was so excited to go back home.

"Udah ah! Come on, pa, let's go home. Rest at home, can be as satisfied as papa." Timpal.

I immediately agreed with my mother. Then the mother then pulled the hand of papa to rise from his position. I also moved out of my bed with enthusiasm. Not forgetting to bring the chrysanthemum flowers with me, it seems I will undo my intention to just let it go.

This flower is like a curse. If I keep letting her here, the next occupant of this room will definitely experience something similar to me. Those absurd weird things are more worthy of being called a curse. As a human being, I don't want anyone else to suffer from the curse placed on me.

"Who's flower?" Ask mommy cynically.

"Yes...." Short reply.

"Who? Sendy?" Mama said so sharply.

"Mama heard Sendy was also in Jakarta, it turns out he was in college here." Further.

"No, not from Sendy. It's from the meeting Eresha who yesterday looked." I'm firm once again.

"Mama believe me, as long as you don't benefit this mama's trust." My mother half warned me.

"Udah, go home yuk! The conversation continues in the car later." My reply.

There is always something that my mom is worried about. Especially at a time like this I don't want to make a fuss with mama. All I need now is a calm atmosphere.

"You'd better not get close to that man. Mama doesn't like him, the kid's not a nice guy." Obviously, my mother tried to give me some understanding.

"He's good, I know him better than Mom." Refute me.

I do not agree with the opinion of my mother who just came to a conclusion. He can't just judge a person based on his outward appearance. Everyone has their own good side, even thugs. Maybe they're just not ready to show the world that. A world too cruel for some.

"I'm sorry your mom knew so much about him. But mama just doesn't want you to be disappointed...." Mama said while embracing my shoulder.

"I mean mama?"

"You better not be too close to him, so that when he goes you will not be too sick. You have to get used to it, son...." Clearly in a soft voice.

I chose to just say his words. It's useless if you have to linger arguing like this. This is not what I want. Even though she was my connecting mother since my father and birth mother separated, and they were Renata's parents as well actually. She was like my own mother, she loved and spoiled me first. Until recently it has been a little bit annoying for me, we never agreed, always fought. Our relationship has recently begun to stretch a little for what reason. I miss the old mama.

"Hi, sha...." Sapa Kak Reksa from the front bench.

"Hi brother...." Short reply.

He looked at me from the reflection of the glass right in front of him, while justifying his seatbelt. Usually it's always papa driving when we travel together like this. But now that Reksa has taken over that position, papa is too old to be forced to keep driving.

Now these women have found a complement to his life. Someone who will always look after him. Mama has papa, Kak Renata has Kak Reksa, while I still depend on them.

"Where's your condition?" Ask Kak Reksa while staying focused on the road in front of him.

"Alhamdulillah has been quiet." Answer me for what it is.

"Thank God......"

"Oh, what date is it?"

Now it's my turn to ask them for the clarity of when this couple would tie each other to the sacred promise.

"Next week." Renata answered enthusiastically.

"We all agreed, and no one objected."

"It's up to you guys too, right who has the show you two. I'm going with you..." My hand.

"Thus you're coming with us for fitting clothes." Pinta Renata to me.

"I? Why is bocil kayak gini invited?"

"We want to buy you a dress also for our wedding, let it be compact. So that's kind of dress code." Obviously the woman.

"I can find it myself later." I half-rejected his invitation just now.

"Not necessarily have to come, period! Don't want to know!" Knock the woman.

I don't know why this woman suddenly became so annoying like this. I was just annoyed, not responding to his words at all.

***

"Welcome back to sha!!!"

Suddenly there was a shrill voice so typical of someone who was no stranger to me. I guess for sure the owner of this deafening high voice is Stefani. He just appeared from behind the door and spread out his hands.

"Who is he?" Ask the confused mother.

"Temen Eresha, he's temporarily staying here." Answer Renata.

"Yes, aunt...." Stefani nodded at Renata's words.

Stefani was as friendly as possible in front of my parents. He kissed their hands one by one. His behavior instantly changed by one hundred and eighty degrees. I could only shake my head to see her behavior just now. This girl was actually able to camouflage the circumstances around her so quickly.

"Renata, you sleep in Eresha's room tonight and so on. Until your wedding day. Mama's just like you let me sleep in your room." Grandmother said.

"Oh, okay no problem." Reply Renata with pleasure.

That woman will not mind at all. But had they thought of my feelings as the owner of the room, I guess not at all.

For the next few days I'm gonna have to sleep in a room with some shitty girls. I hope I stay sane while I'm there. I'm not sure if my bed will be able to accommodate three people at once like this.

"Yeah, in!" Take grandma.

"Here let me just bring you a bag, surely you have not been strong to lift this." Stefani.

What was this girl just about? I'm not sure if he's okay. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with him, whether he's sick or how. But it's okay once in a while he's being nice to me like this. He should have acted like this to me.

Me and Stefani immediately went up to my room on the second floor, while Renata still had to clean up the room she had left for days before being occupied by mom and dad. This house lost all its inhabitants a few days ago. Stefani's the only one staying here.

"Let's see, your room will be clean if it's me." Stefani said as she opened the door enthusiastically.

"Where?" Further.

"Better it to the size of your kayak." My reply.

"What does that mean?"

"Much better than me anyway, hehe...."

"Basic ya lo sha, haha...."

I immediately ran towards the soft mattress that I had left behind for a long time, and just knocked myself down just up there. It feels really good, I miss this place.

"From today we'll sleep three rooms dong." Stefani.

"It won't be long." My reply.

Stefani came straight to me and lay down beside me. We stared at the ceiling for the umpteenth time in my life. Sometimes our conversation does like not clear the direction of the conversation. But that's what friendship is, it doesn't need perfection. Just small things like this already made everything feel more than perfect.

"What story do you want? He said he wanted to tell a lot." I asked to start the conversation first.

"Oh, that...." Stefani replied with some hesitation.

"On Titan?"

I tried to lure this girl into telling me everything. It's not good to keep all the problems he has alone like this.

Stefani nodded resignedly when I managed to find out all the things he had covered up all this time.

"Why Titan?" Ask me.

"According to you Titan there's not the same taste of me?" Stefani is starting to open up.

"What makes you want to jump into all of that?" Means back.

"Titan has been so sweet lately with me, and I think I've been baper with him...." Wiry of the girl.

"Sometimes love is complicated by stef, you wait a little longer. Until you're absolutely sure of her." I clearly.

"If he turns out to have no taste at all to me how dong sha?"

"It must be ready the same thing as disappointed. Love always comes and goes in its own way."

Stefani let out a rough sigh, she seemed to be thinking hard to digest my words just now. Previously she was a girl who was too rigid, reluctant to deal with the name of love. Stefani is most anti if you have to talk about the heart. He is too afraid to fall in love, heartbreak always makes him not want to be friendly with that feeling. Although sometimes there will be time for love to greet us.

"Hey....." Greet someone from behind the door.

I guessed it, it must be Renata. His face looks so bright, his cheeks meet red blushing from earlier. He's too happy today.

"Why are you guys?" Renata asked while closing the door.

Renata approached us who looked upset. He sat at the end of the bed watching us.

"Why the hell?" Ask once more.

Suddenly I remembered my promise to Stefani back then. Now seems like the right time for me to keep that promise.

"Eh, brother!" My heart then rose from my previous position.

While the woman who was euphoric was only raising one of her eyebrows.

"Make over - in Stefani dong..." My love.

"Eh, what am I anyway?" Knock on the girl who then immediately got up as well.

"Biasalah brother, love monkey high school boy...." I said in a joking tone.

To be honest, Stefani was immediately wrong when I said that sentence. Very funny it turns out if you see the expression of this girl while being misbehaved like this.

"Oh. yeah-yeah I know...." Reply Renata who seduced Stefani.

"By the way how the hell is the guy? Not handsome?" Further.

"Lumayan the sak..." My answer.

I chuckled at Stefani, who was increasingly unable to control himself. Suddenly the girl hit me with a pillow. I hissed rudely to the girl.

"Not to be shy so stef, brother was also ever young. Ever spent a long time in High School." Said Renata also taken by me.

"That High School is a wonderful time, anyway you should enjoy your High School days." Further.

I agree with Renata's opinion, because after this we have to seriously face the real life. The real life will only start after we graduate from high school. This is where the real competition begins. So we have to be good at using our time. Because time is very expensive and can not be paid with anything, it also can not be replayed.

"Yuk, sit here let me make an over-in." Said Stefani while taking a bench from my study desk.

Stefani chose to stick with this woman. Renata is a person who is fashionable and understands about fashion. It's so inversely related to me that I don't know anything about it.

Renata began to take out various combat tools from inside the make up pouch, which had always been his mainstay all along. Carefully, he aimed at all corners of Stefani's face from various directions. With so clever, the white fine grains began to be rubbed with the touch of his hands and brush. A professional touch that creates a perfect finish.

"What if you wear Korean bangs? It looks so cute and fresh."Renata Proposal.

"Hmmm.... Well, I'm afraid I don't fit in with me." Stefani replied hesitantly.

"Jaudah gini, let me try to cut it in Eresha first. Later if you are the same model I just cut, how?" The woman's proposal.

"Eh, no! It was good when I was a guinea pig." Refuse me to disagree.

"Don't believe me, I'm sure the results are good." Said Renata while pulling my hand towards her.

I can only go with the circumstances. Right now I can't squint at all, I'm really dead lice. It's okay to occasionally give up on my brother's happiness. Considering we used to hate each other, our relationship is not as warm as it is now.

"His eyes bristled, the rest of the haircut went into your eyes again." The woman's orders.

I didn't say much, choosing to obey his orders. I've really resigned if later the results even far beyond my expectations. I didn't expect much, just hope the result wasn't so disappointing.

I could feel the cold touch of the sharp metal occasionally accidentally touching my forehead. I'm getting nervous. The strands and strands of hair that fell into my lap made this heart go faster.

Sometimes I bite my lower lip so I don't get nervous. Same thing, there is no change at all. Now replace the comb that gently caresses my forehead. Renata occasionally tidied up the arrangement of hair he had cut, aligning it with other parts. Make sure they are the same length as each other. I don't know what it's gonna be like.
