My Love Is Stupid's

Chapters 10

''Erika'', Niko's nagging, ''why can you be this reckless?''

''I'm really-2 sorry, Fara''. Erika looked at Fara with a smile.

Fara does not know if Erika accidentally or not hit him, but he is sad to see the results of his work end up on the field. ''Tdk what-2'', he said later.

Erika smiled broadly, I was right-2 unintentionally, '' she said again, then her gaze turned to Niko. ''Niko, my marching band will be performing in the hall for a while. Come on, come on over there.'' Erika pulls Niko's hand to follow her.

But before leaving, Niko spoke to Fara, Excuse Erika, yes.''

Fara nodded. ''Tdk what-2''.

After looking at Niko's missing back behind the hall, Fara collected the 2-cake scattered in the field and placed it back on the plate. He walked slowly, then threw away all the cookies. When all the cakes had moved to the trash, his heart languished in sadness.

On the way home that day, Fara was pensive for a long time. Maybe he should stop being friends with Niko. And this desire he expressed to mama.

''Should I stop being friends with her, ma?'' ask when they do the dishes in the kitchen.

Mama looked at her daughter gently ''Are you going to stop being friends with her?''

Fara shakes.

''Fara'', said the mother as she closed the water tap, ''why don't you come straight with this guy if you like him?'

''Wouldn't it be better for you to say your heart to her. Then once you find out she doesn't like you, you can start to stop feeling good about her and start a new relationship.''

''I know, but it's hard to let go. Especially now that we are friends.'' ''You want her boyfriend?'' ask mama again.

Fara looked at Mama sadly. ''That's an impossible hope, Ma. He likes his girlfriend now. But, do my feelings like it wrong, ma?''

Mama shook her head. ''Love is not simple. You don't like it wrong. It's just that you like the wrong people at the wrong time''.

Fara sighs. ''Give me some time until I graduate high school. At that time, I will decide to let go. After all, we will certainly split up. He must have gone to college in a different place than me. I've been chasing him for a year and a half. School graduation is 7 months away. Let me have this time to like it.''

Mama hugged her daughter, ''OK. Just until graduation, yeah. After that you have to let go. Believe me, sooner or later, time will heal the wounds in your heart.''

''Thanks, Ma'', Fara replied as she hugged and inhaled the fragrance of her body. Fara smiled, mom's embrace always made her feel better.

Fara tries to stay away from Niko since her birthday, but fate brings them closer. Mr. Bambang, the homeroom teacher, persuaded Fara and Niko to be the school's birthday bazaar committee for food kiosk class 3 IPA 1. In the school bazaar later each class will open a food stall and race to be the best. The winner is determined by the amount of sales revenue of the kiosk that day.

As soon as she found out about it, Erika clearly felt uneasy, she did not want Niko to be close to Fara. Whenever Niko would hold a meeting with Fara, Erika always looked for an excuse to keep Niko company.

But Fara doesn't mind. ''It's okay-2, Niko'', she said calmly, ''I can take care of our classroom food stall.''

Erika uses her parents' connections so that the kiosk-2 franchise in the school cafeteria doesn't sell her food to Fara. He assumed that if Fara did not have food to sell, his stall would automatically fail. The day before the school bazaar, Fara saw a photography club putting up photos in the school hall. Looks like they'll be holding a photo exhibit at the school bazaar tomorrow. Suddenly 2 Fara got an idea. He approached the head of the photography club and asked for his help to leave the photo room to be exhibited. With the guarantee of the photography club getting free food from his kiosk, Fara gets the empty place he wants.
