Married for Papa

The story of Bryan and Eliza PART II

The two of them walked towards the cafeteria but suddenly in the middle of the road Bryan stopped their steps.

"El wait. Do you want to be my girlfriend?" bryan asked, holding Eliza's hand.

"Eh, Ry, why are you suddenly asking this?" asked Eliza nervously.

"It's quick to answer, there's no repetition of my question." Bryan said.

"That's it." Eliza answered deliberately hanging up her answer.

"What do you want me to answer?" Eliza asked Bryan.

"You were asked to answer and asked me back!" Bryan was getting upset. He thought Eliza immediately gave an answer but turned out to ask.

Eliza laughed at Bryan's cute look. Right now Bryan's face is like a child who expects his mother to give him a candy because he gets the best grades in class.

Bryan immediately left Eliza who was still laughing at him.

"Hey wait, why did you just leave. Don't you want to hear my answer?"

"I'm not interested in hearing your answer El." Bryan Shouted.

Then Eliza ran after Bryan who was almost at the school cafeteria.

When he was put in his hand, Bryan noticed that a group of female students began to form a small group. They begin to gossip about Eliza and Bryan's closeness.

"Sst, look at it. Bryan to the cafeteria with Eliza. Maybe it's true about the gossip out there saying that they're dating!" the glasses disciple began to speak out his argument.

"No way, they just got to know. They could be just ordinary friends." Denied the braid-haired disciple.

"But I've seen them walk together to a mall loh while holding hands." said the curly-haired student to his friends.

They were all shocked by the curly-haired disciple's words. They did not expect that Bryan and Eliza's relationship was very close.

"Are you serious?"

"Seriously, why am I lying. I see with my own eyes, they're holding hands."

"Okay, if they date then there will be a national broken day."

The look on the faces of the five students sitting in the corner of the cafeteria seemed sad when they imagined Bryan and Eliza dating.

While Bryan and Eliza were just being indifferent, pretending not to listen. Bryan headed straight to the chicken porridge stand because he saw it looked like the food was very delicious. He ordered two portions for himself and also Eliza. Bryan chose to sit near the banyan tree to avoid the strange gazes of the other students who were in the canteen. Eliza walked over and took a seat in front of Bryan. Eliza was really nervous about having to sit opposite Bryan. I don't know why lately Eliza's heart is always beating fast if it is close to Bryan but he tried to cover it.

Orders came and they immediately ate chicken porridge.

"How about El, is the chicken porridge good?" ask Bryan.

"Hu'um, very good. Thank you Ry." Eliza said with earnest eyes.

Bryan's heart was pounding more and more watching Eliza's eyes. To him, the look in the eye was like an oasis in a very barren desert. So very soothing.

For a few seconds they accidentally looked at each other.

"Ry, I want to be your girlfriend!" Eliza's words spread Bryan's daydream.

"Huh, what did you say?" Bryan asked in disbelief.

"I want to be p-a-c-a-r m-u." by affirming the word "boyfriend" in front of Bryan's face.

Bryan immediately stood up and the chicken porridge that was in his grip spilled fortunately not about the gray white uniform in use.

Eliza just laughed at the silly behavior of the man who is now her boyfriend. At that time they were officially dating.

...****************...

They entered an expensive restaurant wearing school uniforms. A waiter approached.

"Good afternoon*k*ak, want a message for how many people?" the waiter asked while pointing at some empty tables.

At that time the restaurant was quite crowded. Young people gather together with loved ones. Husbands spend time with their children while enjoying the menu at the restaurant. Kids, young people fill every corner of the restaurant.

"Please, what menu you want?" say the waiter by handing out the menu book.

Eliza and Bryan are busy choosing the menu but Eliza seems surprised to see the price of a plate of fried rice.

"Crazy, is this really Ry's price? Oh my gosh, for that price to eat my family's 2 days."

"Ha-ha-ha, for me that price doesn't matter. Think of it, as your birthday gift baby." - sedu Bryan.

"Ck, are you trying to seduce me?" sindir Eliza's.

"You think?"

Eliza switched the conversation.

"I ordered this fried rice Ry, super spicy! I drank ice lemon tea.

"I also ordered the same menu" Ma'am."

"Okay, please wait." The waiter wrote all the orders, took back the menu book and walked away from Bryan and Eliza.

After waiting for almost thirty minutes, the food came and they immediately ate the dish while it was warm.

...****************...

One year later

Currently, all students of the third grade of High School are preparing to face UAN. They are preoccupied with various kinds of debriefing, tutoring in order to pass the exam. Eliza and Bryan did not escape the activity.

They are busy trying out everywhere, studying until late not to mention following the briefing held by the school. Anyway super busy even time for dating is not there but their hearts remain one.

The national exam has been held and all students of Harapan Pelita High School are declared to PASS 100%. Smiles of happiness were etched from each other's faces. Instantly the Harapan Pelita High School basketball court became a sea of tears not a few of those who cried happily because they could pass the test. That means just a little more steps they reach the goal.

Goodbyes

At exactly eight in the morning all students of High School Hope and invited guests filled the basketball court that has been transformed into a mini auditorium. That day they will do the school farewell. Making it the last moment before they actually took off the gray white uniform.

Among the row of male students Bryan figure looks the highest than his peers. He was wearing a white shirt, black blazer, black tie, black cloth pants and black pantofel shoes. Looks handsome and dignified. He looked back and forth looking for a much loved girl. But until the time of separation began, the girl was not present to show her nose. Bryan is disappointed when he wants to introduce Eliza to his parents.

"Ry, who are you looking for?" ask Gugun the friend who was sitting next to Bryan.

"Eliza's." Bryan answered briefly.

"You do not know that Eliza has left this city. According to the information I heard he went to college abroad but I do not know for sure which country. His family also did not live in this city. Maybe they're back in the village."

"Geez Ry, how sorry are you. You're his girlfriend but this is all he doesn't know. Ck ck ck, what kind of relationship do you have?" sindir Gugun's.

Bryan clenched his hands, his emotions unstoppable. He's very angry. He's very emotional.

"Why did you leave me without a word El?" bryan asked in his heart.

Since then Bryan decided not to date anymore even though many women are crazy and crave his love but Bryan's heart has been given to Eliza. The girl he loved so much. For Bryan, Eliza is the only girl who is very valuable in this world.
