ME, YOU, And The Light Novel Book

The Other Side of Manda's Life

Noticing the sudden change in my eyes immediately made me conclude that something was troubling my mind at the moment. So he invited me back to talk by saying:

"Ray, Ray you're not papa, are you?" mother said with a firm tone to wake me up.

My mind immediately turned back to this conversation and made me immediately respond to mother's words by saying:

"Oh, yes Ray did not papa kok ma'am, just a little shocked after knowing the name of his son temen mother."

"Hemm so yes, but by the way why suddenly you daydream anyway I tell you the name of the mother's daughter temen dhe Mandalina, the mother, or maybe you won't win her at school? " said the mother in a surprised tone while giving an unimportant question at the end of her speech.

My heart and mind were in a state of disarray due to confusion in answering the questions my mother had just asked. This is because it's so hard for me to confess to my mother that right now the relationship between me and Manda might already be said to be a friend. So I tried to cover it up by saying:

"I only know her son, ma'am, but there's no connection between us yet."

"Oh so you already know the same dhe Manda yes son, then why do you know him?, you already know ya." said the mother with an enthusiastic tone.

I then showed a flat facial expression and began to respond to mother's question by saying:

"Where does Ray know mom, Manda is the most popular girl in school anyway" I said casually acknowledging the fact.

"Oh so, dhe Manda the most popular schoolgirl in school yes, naturally from the appearance is also predictable ya." said the mother with a slightly surprised tone as she recalled the appearance of the new Manda this afternoon she knew.

"Well, you know for yourself why she's the most popular girl in my school?" I said in a relaxed tone giving a question that urged my mother to admit it.

"Yes Ray, I admit that Manda's mother is beautiful, her clothes are nice, her behavior is polite again with us as her mother's friends" said the mother calmly acknowledging some of the advantages of Manda.

"Well that's why I already know, already well that's Ray want to read books in the room." I said in a flat tone as I stood up from my chair and was about to leave my mother at this dinner table.

Looking at me who was about to get out of the chair and stop our conversation, my reflex immediately prevented my actions by saying:

"Ehh, wait for dong Ray, I still want to talk to you anyway." said the mother in a tone begging that I keep chatting with her at the dinner table.

"What else you want to say, ma'am" I said in a lazy tone as I was forced to stop my steps and sit back in the chair.

"Patience dong Ray, someone wants you to talk to you about Manda nih." said the mother calmly trying to persuade me to be able to continue this conversation.

"Well, dong Ray, you're a submissive mother's son." said the mother praised me to convince my heart to be willing to respond to the conversation again.

"Udah ah ma'am, do not need to praise Ray everything, so what do you want to talk about Manda as me?" I said in a straightforward tone immediately wanting to know the true meaning of this conversation.

"Okay, patient dong Ray, so this was the college student who is now his mother dhe Manda, Munalisa Pratiwi confided with Ray's mother, Ray's mother, about her the same dhe Manda who was estranged from her husband or her father dhe Manda, continued after knowing you and dhe Manda one school, she told me that if you could be her best friend in Manda ya" said the mother explained in a quiet tone densely and rinkas to me.

"Emm wait a minute ma'am, I mean, Manda and her mother were exiled by her father how was it? " i said in a curious tone asking for a more detailed explanation from my mother.

Mother had sighed for a moment because she felt it was not up to her heart to say it to me, but finally she opened her voice by saying:

"I mean in alienated Ray, his father dhe Manda rarely returned home because managing his business, continue to go home also never want to talk about business affairs with family, anyway, he was very cool with his wife and daughter at home" said the mother explained with empathy in her heart.

My heart could not believe that it turned out that Manda's life that seemed happy was apparently only a one-way mirror illusion for ordinary people who only knew him when he was at school. Manda had never revealed the problems of his personal life at school, even his closest friend, Sherly also did not know about the bitterness of the family life of a Mandalina Dwi Pratiwi.

Immediately pity spread in my heart because I wanted as much as possible to help Manda out of that bitter situation, but what I could at this time was only to correct the text and become a friend to write it, just, no more than that. I then responded to my mother's words by saying:

"So that bad, ma'am, Manda's family life, you want me to do what after this? " i said in a relaxed tone while holding a sense of compassion in my heart.

"Don't Ray, it turns out that dhe Manda's family life is not as good as our family, so that you can not be a close friend at school?" said the mother in a concerned tone while asking me something.

"Yes if that Ray will try to make a meeting with Manda yes, but maybe not immediately so familiar mom" I said calmly in response to mother's request.

"Yes dongga papa kok Ray, I know it must also be difficult to be a close friend of a girl, right?, let alone you are a little difficult to get along with her son, right." said mother understood my shortcomings.

"Well that's why I already know the reason, then Ray permission to go to the room yes ma'am, want to read books again" I said casually while standing from my chair.

"Yes, please Ray, thank you for talking to me."

"Ah, it's normal to be ma'am." I said as I began to step into the room.

I lay my body on the bed when I got in my room. While looking at the light blue color from the ceiling of my room, I then re-thought the request of my mother who told me to be friends with Manda.
