LOVE Plus Minus

Men Sucks

Seeing Mama laugh, the pain in my heart momentarily disappeared.

\*\*\*

Me, Mama and Giordani are eating our breakfast at the dinner table. Giordano was already preparing to go to school, as was the mother who was going to work.

"Cin, aren't you going to college today?"

"No, no more classes" I replied.

"Well, don't you usually have classes every day?" ask mama to be suspicious.

"The lecturer for today's lesson is out of Ma's town, so his class schedule is solidified into next week."

"Oh." replied Mama nodded in understanding.

"Ma, Dani left first huh." said my sister who had finished her breakfast.

"Be careful and."

Giordani immediately got up from her seat and immediately kissed her hand. Then the High School guy turned to me and ruffled my hair gently.

"Gue walk yes brother, take care of the house" he said before passing.

"Ma." I protested less like Giordani's actions.

"It is Cin, you must be familiar with Giordani's behavior. His name was also male, naturally he had the instinct of wanting to protect and take care of women."

"But Ma, her sister is Cintya. Did Giordani get her hair cut? turning to know Mama. uh.." I said annoyed.

"You are, when such a thing is immediately upset? Consider it you who messed up your sister's hair. Okay?"

"Ih Mama." I'm spoiled.

"Followly, you continue the breakfast. Mama has to leave now, too."

"hmm.." I said obediently.

After getting up from her seat at the dinner table, she walked away from me.

"Ma." call me slowly while looking at my mom's back.

The woman flipped over her body and looked at me gently, saying "what's the matter dear?"

"Mama, don't work too hard. Don't get tired, and be careful." The last word I said made my throat choked.

The woman who was looking at me softly replied to me with a steady nod before turning back and walking away. Leave empty scenery and a quiet kitchen because it is only inhabited by me.

I sipped water to refresh my dry throat. The fear of losing my mother suddenly tormented me. After Papa's departure, however, I'm not ready to lose any more.

After sipping a full glass of water, I moved from my starting position. Deftly all the dirty dishes on the dining table I moved them to the washtafle. Washing dishes, cleaning the kitchen is continued by washing dirty clothes. As the highlight of the activity, I cleaned the living room and family room. Then it ends with watering the flowers in the garden. After everything was sorted out, I immediately entered the bathroom to clean myself up.

"at 10?"" I muttered as I came out of the bathroom and went back to my room.

I spent almost three hours on home activities. I threw my body to sit on the bed.

"Ting.tong" had not yet sat down, the bell of the house sounded a sign of someone visiting.

"Who's visiting at this rush hour?" I muttered curiously as I stepped out of the room.

My room located near the living room made it easy for me to reach the entrance. In one move I opened the door.

"You?" my question was really surprised by the figure that was now standing in front of me.

"What's up Steve? Want to come in or talk outside?" ask the guy.

"Anyone's home?"

"She, I."

"Jude, outside" he replied.

"Why Steve, just go in is okay."

"No. where can men and women both-age when lonely."

"Geez, Steve." After all, such things won't happen to us.

"At least don't create suspicion on other people Cin."

"God.. It's up to you. So what's up Steve? why come here? Shouldn't you have a class?"

"Cin, sorry.. I have bad news for you."

"What's Steve?" manyworry.

"Cin, how hot is it here?" asked Steve who was disturbed by the sunlight that directly hit the chair in the yard.

"I said come in." I replied.

"Yaudah yuk." take Steve.

Kmi is sitting in the living room. And I looked back at Steve with a serious look.

"So what's up?"

"Gue, sorry Cin. I can't take care of you for a while." said Steve, lowering his head.

I just kept quiet hearing Steve's words. Never in my mind would there be a day like this. The day Steve had to stop looking after me. A month since papa's death, more than a month since Noni moved to America, more than a month Steve has always protected me from George's whereabouts.

"Cin. sorryin. But I can't refuse my parents' request either."

"Student exchange, American. I'm not on the list but papa."

"America?" my words describe my surprise.

"Well, why don't you like it?"

"Geez Steve, you gotta go. And remember you have to make an opportunity to get Noni's heart while you're there." I said enthusiastically.

"How do you want to go?" tanyanya's worried.

"Gue's upset. I'm really upset that there are no Noni and Loe here. But thinking that you've got a chance to be in the same country as him makes me very excited."

"Loe's just focused on Noni, not on my goals? Well, Cin, what kind of friend are you?" steve was joking.

"Gue is dong's best friend. Btw, when are you leaving?"

"Next week."

"Congratulations Steve, finally your chances come."

"Favor Cin. For George's problem don't worry, I've got a solution."

"What?"

"Loe hints later. By the way I say yes Cin, it's not good to visit a girl's house for too long."

"Geez Steve, you're acting like a stranger in my house."

"Gue just appreciates my feelings Cin." said Steve ambiguously as he rose from his sitting position.

"You mean?" I looked at him with a serious look.

The man smiled widely, and the smile was piled up with the words "Gue will love the same Noni, if long here it feels like I'm betrayed by my feelings."

"Basar nyebelin." I said while snapping the man's eel.

Steve smiled sweetly and ignored my annoyance. He chose to keep walking towards the door and I had no choice but to tail him and drive him to his car.

"It's also great that you can park in my yard."

"Makanya Cin, if you are inside the front fence must be closed. Sloppy is so much a girl." said Steve.

"Steve, you go home. Don't piss me off. Enough of the hot sun I don't get."

"Okay okay. Bye.." said Steve as he got into his car.

After Steve left the house, I immediately locked the fence and set my steps into the house.

"Must immediately want this hair." I muttered casually as I took off the towel that had wrapped my head.

I smiled amusedly with Steve's funny expression when I saw him emerge from behind the door. With complete confidence, I concluded that the man was in shock with my strangely wrapped head. I just stepped inside the house, and suddenly the bell rang again.

"What the hell is Steve?" I grumbled as I stepped towards the front fence.

I slowly opened the fence and deliberately put on a fierce look to scold Steve.

"You can't talk on the phone, there's a.s.." I interrupted realising the man standing in front of me wasn't Steve.

"Who?" tanyanya cold.

"You, how are you here?"

"Why don't you ever answer my phone?"

"When?"

"I mean since last night."

"oh." answered me, who had just realized that I hadn't touched my phone since last night.

"What's wrong?" ask again.

"Can I come in?" the man ignored my question.

"Hey Love.. Can't go in?" ask again.

"Cintyas. Remember Dave, my name is Cintya not Love."

"Sorrys. So can I come in?"

"Okay okay.."

Dave and I are sitting in the living room. He enjoyed the snack I had taken from the kitchen.

"So you mean you're mad at me?" I tried to clarify the intent of the man's explanation earlier.

"certain."

"Basin' guy sucks. How can I introduce Steve to you? you realize where you are not in the country and where are we?"

"But you are smart. Why can't you just think of this little thing?"

"That'sit. I am lazy to argue with you. Just a minute."

"Where are you going?" asked Dave who watched me get off the couch in the living room.

"room, get a cell phone."

After giving a short answer I immediately left the man there and stepped towards my room. This guy is such a bitch, how could he be mad at me just because I haven't introduced him to Steve yet? I really don't think about the contents of Dave's head. Fortunately, he is not my girlfriend, especially my husband. My head is in danger of breaking every day if I have to live with that arrogant man.
