Marianas

Sonia is cunning

***

I let out a sigh of relief. Tired of walking from the park to the house. My breath has gone up and down irregularly. Want to immediately lay down on the bed.

" Tumben did you run in the morning ?" ask Amera surprised me. I don't know when he was behind me. Not looking sweaty or exhausted, surely the unknown artist had driven him by car to the front alley.

" At least I really do exercise, not like you who just make it as an alibi only "I answered sniffly. Amera just laughed. His heart seems to be happy. I felt sorry for my brother. Can't wait to unravel the falsity of the unknown artist.

I saw by the pool, Ana was playing with pet fish. This time I saw him smile. Although only as thin as cotton, but his smile looks sweet. Occasionally his hair that was paled as he was blown by the wind. If the appearance is a little more feminine and well-groomed, it may be more beautiful to the eye.

" If you put your hands in a pond like that, all the fish will die from contamination !!" my arrival shocked Ana. Removing the smile on his face. Turned into a jute, as usual. Ignoring me Ana just walked away from the pool.

" What are your plans today ?" tanyaku later.

" I don't have to tell you, do I ?" answer's flat.

" Why ? Where are you going ? With whom ?" kepo many.

" It's none of your business !!" Ana glared at me. How dare he.

" Don't you already have a boyfriend ? You should focus on studying if you really want a scholarship it's not even busy courting !!"

" Basic chatter !! Even if I don't study, I can still get the scholarship "he replied confidently. Passing away left me who still keeps nagging. My suspicions deepened, considering that Ana had chewed on a letter from someone just out of fear that I would know who the mailer was. I didn't think there would be a man interested in a woman like Ana. It's fierce and cold. It must be that the man who liked her was also just as strange as Ana. I smiled at the thought of two strange people going out. It must be weird. Haha..

This morning at the dinner table, my father looked serious when he said our mother would come back to this house. Amera and I looked at each other in disbelief. How could the father who had been so hard let the woman who had betrayed him back again. Even though mother is our biological mother, what she has done is not something that can be easily forgiven. Still vividly remembered when the mother prefers to go with her lover who is much younger than her and abandoned her children. These two years Amera and I have been used to living the days without a mother. Then suddenly the woman came back into our lives.

" Why ?" I was a little hesitant at the father who was looking at me sharply.

" Why did you let that woman come back ? Have you forgotten about his betrayal ?" the question just came out of my mouth.

" The woman will only return to this house as your mother not as my wife" replied the flat father.

" But still, right.how can you stay one roofed with a woman who has betrayed you ? We don't want to see dad hurt any deeper !!" Amera tried to convince her father to change his decision.

" Once, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Just be ready for your mother's return !!" dad left the dinner table without finishing his breakfast.

Me and Amera just looked at each other. Eating fried rice made by her mother Ana. And that girl, I don't know if I didn't see her whereabouts. Usually he always stood next to the dining table but this time there was none. Maybe he went to see his girlfriend. It looks like this house is just me being single.

The clock on the hand shows at nine in the morning. The streets are getting crowded with vehicles. Ana walked on the sidewalk enjoying the occasional gust of wind hitting her face. It was rare for him to be able to get out of the house like this.

Ana's footsteps stopped in front of an old building in front of her shady by trees. Before going inside, Ana stopped by a public phone that was located in a section with the library. Put some coins in until the sound of the phone is connected.

" Hello." said a man from the other end of the phone.

" How are you doing ? Sorry for not contacting you for a long time. I just wanted to let you know if the letter you sent me I read "Anna smiled shyly.

" Good news. It's good to hear your voice again. Hopefully what I wrote in the letter yesterday is clear enough that I don't have to explain to you anymore" the man said on the phone.

" Yes, I understand everything. Today I went to the library to study. Exams in a minute. And I don't want to get a bad result "Anna said softly.

" I believe you will definitely succeed with your test. Are you in the regular library where we used to meet ?" ask the man.

" yes. I'm here, where we used to secretly meet. At least that way it will make me more excited to face the test "Anna blushed in shame. I heard laughter at the end of the phone.

" Excite the spirit !!! I will be patient in waiting for your arrival. Sorry for not being able to talk to you for longer. There's a lot of things I have to do. Next time I'll send you a letter again. Bye.." the man hung up his phone before Ana could say goodbye.

" I miss you, actually." said Ana Lirih hung up the phone that had been disconnected since. Inhaled air to stabilize his feelings that are a little unreasonable. After feeling a little better, Ana walked inside the library. A beautiful and soothing old building. Suitable for learning and self-soothing.

***

In this library, Ana used to come along with the man she liked. We spend a lot of time together reading books. Just keep quiet, busy with each other's reading books. Romantic in the real sense. Ana just smiled remembering all those sweet memories. Now, it has been almost 3 years he has never met the man again. More precisely after the man he likes to get an education scholarship abroad. Live the days full of longing. Busy yourself by learning to be able to catch up with the man he likes. Ana let out a long sigh, the dream was getting closer in front of her eyes. Just counting the months. After the national exam is completed. Ana is optimistic that she can get the scholarship. Not without reason, all this time he has always been the number one school. The thing that made Amera never liked him. Because Amera always came second after her.

While busy reading a book, Ana is shocked by the arrival of a man who suddenly hides under the table where she sits. Cueing Ana not to tell her whereabouts. Initially Ana was confused, but a little understood when some teenage girls came to him with a little breathless.

" I'm sorry, brother, saw Sabian run this way, didn't you ?" one of the girls asked Ana.

" Sabian ? Sabian who ?" Ana looks astonished, feeling unfamiliar with the name that the girl mentioned.

" Sabian who was the movie star ? Which movie is called Mafia ?" the girls took turns explaining enthusiastically. Ana still doesn't understand what they're talking about.

" I'm sorry but I never saw a movie so don't know who Sabian you're talking about. This is a library, not a cinema. All that's here is a row of books not movies or artists. So can you calm down so that the other visitors can read comfortably ?" said Ana at length with her flat expression. At least it managed to make the ABG teenagers go even while whispering his curse.

Ana heaved a sigh of relief, continuing her activity of reading page by page.

" Do you really not know who Sabian is ?" the voice of someone from under the table shocked Ana. Almost the girl screamed if she could not remember being in the library.

" Who are you ? You pervert, how dare you peek at women's panties !!" Ana pulls the hair of the man hiding under the table who is none other than Bian to make the man grimace in pain.

" A pervert what do you mean ? I was just saving myself from those monsters " answered Bian with pity, hoping Ana would take off her hair.

" Monster ?" Ana was a little surprised.

" Let me go first so I can explain !!" Bian had a little trouble getting out from under the table. Many times his head hit the table.

" Don't you feel like we've met before ?" Bian observed Ana's face more intensely.

" Of course . Thanks to you, someone has slapped me !!" answered Ana cynically, continuing to read the book.

" It's true, you're the girl. The only person who was not familiar with Sabian the famous artist "Bian smiled with pride.

" If it's true that you're an artist, shouldn't you be busy filming right now or what's his name. Then what are you doing in the library ?" asked Ana underestimating.

" Of course, I need to read a book or just find a reference to the role I'm going to play. To be more able to explore the role. I went to the library a few times but just saw you this time "

" I hope this is the first and last time we meet here. Or wherever, I don't want to see you again "for a moment the two look at each other. There was a smell of hatred.

" Are you always mean to everyone ? It fits perfectly with the role of antagonist in your body. It just so happens that there is still nothing to fill, are you interested in becoming an actress. I think your acting will be very good ?" Bian looks enthusiastic to seduce Ana to want to play in the film.

" No !! Go !! I just want to read quietly !!" reject Ana rough.

" I can pay you dearly "

" Go !!! Or will I call the officer to kick you out ?" this time Ana was no joke.

" Okay if you're not interested in a movie. But can you answer one question from me ? I promise after that I'll go "Bian put on a face full of pity.

" What's a ?"

" Do you really not know if I'm a famous artist ?" ask Bian expectantly.

" No !!" answer Ana briefly.

Bian was disappointed to hear Ana's reply. How can anyone not recognize him. Though the film he starred in was very successful throughout the country.

Ana looked at Bian's departure with a relieved look. I hope there will be no more meetings between them. Ana doesn't know if Bian is an artist or not. All Ana knew was, Amera put her heart on the man. And that's what makes Ana lazy to get involved with Bian.
