MY SOUL MATE IS MY BEST FRIEND
Chapter 3 Suddenly a school celebrity
Every school at home is always quiet. This was how he had felt over the past few years, always at home alone. That's why he would rather go with his friends after school than go home. He was an only child while his father and mother ran their family-owned textile shop.
They left early in the morning before Karin woke up and went home when Karin was already asleep in the dreamland. There was only a faithful mbok minah who accompanied him since he was a child. Mbok Minah is the one who helps his mother clean the house, cook for Karin and take care of her.
" Tau gini I just went with Sita, rather than in a lonely house". Karin muttered as soon as she reached the terrace.
He sat for a while in the chair to unwind due to the heat from the scorching sun that was so stinging during the day. Not long after, the front door opened and a middle-aged mother came out.
" Neng Karin has gone home anyway, why not just go in". Mbok Minah.
" Yes, Karin just arrived. Take a break, it's really hot". Answer Karin.
" Lagian neng Karin was told to bring a car but instead choose a motorbike". Say the mbok again.
" Ribet mbok use the car, if it gets stuck it can be late nyampe school". Answer Karin.
" Want to make a cold drink? ". Mbok Minah rose.
" May as well mbok, juice man yes. Anterin to the room, I'm gonna take a shower". Karin went to her room on the second floor.
While playing sosmed, he saw Andre's account uploading a photo. What makes him surprised is, the photo he uploaded is a photo of him while he was with Andre.
" Haaah.!!, I didn't see wrong. Andre took a photo with me? ". Shouted Karin from inside the room.
" I didn't see it wrong, did I? Andre tagged my account too? ". Many notifications went into Karin's cell phone.
Dm and follow requests are also increasing. Understandably, Karin's account is in private, so not many can see the contents of the post.
In an instant, Karin has become an impromptu artist, because Andre is also quite famous among his school students and in other schools.
" wow Andre's new girlfriend".
" But broken heart bang".
" Who the hell is the girl? from which school? ".
" It looks like B".
" It's still looking forward to his ex, Andre the OSIS".
" Hopefully, brother".
There are many more comments Karin read in Andre's post. Not much different from the contents of his Dm, many who support him dating Andre but also many who berated and bullied Karin.
" So this is what it's like to have fans and haters ". Karin murmured while putting her HP on the bed and then fell down there.
" Lagian Andre never said anything to me for a few weeks we're deket . Why did he suddenly upload a photo with me". Karin looked up at the roof of the room.
" Where is Ardi? is he busy? why he never hit me or called me. Though WA same instagram he is active". Lirih Karin slowly.
As long as Karin starts to get close to Andre, Ardi never shows her nose in front of Karin. Even if they passed each other in the cafeteria or in the classroom corridor, Ardi would have pretended not to see it.
" You're why Di, I don't know how to joke with you anymore. Do you have a girl and you forget me? ".
Geck... Tok...
Karin awoke from her sleep when she heard her bedroom door being knocked repeatedly. He grabbed his cell phone and saw the clock was showing at six in the afternoon. He got up and went to the door to open it.
" Well, you have to go to the hospital right now. Mbok's son is sick". Mbok Minah said in a panic.
" Oh my goodness, what pain is his son? ". Ask Karin.
" Blood fever". Answer mbok Minah.
" Athaghfirullah, just go there. But what ride mbok, this hour must be angkot also no one has passed". Ask Karin again, mbok Minah seemed to think.
" Yaudah mbok me anterin aja, wait a moment yes I change clothes first".
" But what's wrong with Karin". Mbok Minah replied that she did not look well.
" No papa mbok, now mbok wait downstairs soon I run down". After saying so, Karin went inside to change clothes and took her purse, purse and HP.
***On the way.
"In which hospital mbok". Karin and Mbok Minah are already in the car.
" Neng general hospital". Answer mbok Minah.
Karin immediately drove her car to the hospital which was meant by Mbok Minah.
Fortunately the streets were not jammed, so they could get to the hospital half an hour away.
After getting a reply from Husband mbok Minah in what room her son in the care of, mbok Minah immediately ran towards the room with followed by Karin behind her.

Here is Karin, in Nova's nursery Mbok Minah. There was an infusion needle in Nova's left arm, and her face was so pale.
" Neng Karin didn't come home first? later in search of the same mom and her papa sizzling again". Mbok Minah.
Karin looked at the clock on her left arm and smiled.
" It's only eight o'clock, they're definitely not home yet. I called my mom so they won't tell me mbok". Answer Karin.
" But it's not good Neng girls come home late at night".
" Yes mbok, soon Karin home kok. now also mom papa must not come home, bosen at home alone". Said Karin while looking at Si mbok with a sad face considering the busyness of his parents.
Mbok Minah felt sorry for the employer's child she cared for since she was a toddler.His parents were always busy working, never paying attention to her daughter's condition.
Karin was in fifth grade in Elementary School and was admitted to the hospital. But his parents chose to keep working and never once waited for their only daughter.
Minah had wanted to quit her job for a long time, but she felt sorry to see Karin alone at home. Be that she stays at work until now, at least wait until the young lady goes to college.
" Yaudah mbok, Karin go home first yes". Pamit Karin in the end.
" Yes, be careful on the road. Go straight home don't play anymore". Message mbok Minah.
" Yes mbok, Karin said yes mbok, Ahmad sir".
" Yes, thank you for bringing your father's wife here". Said Mr. Ahmad, husband of mbok Minah.
After kissing the hand of Mr. Ahmad and mbok Minah, Karin went out of the room. But when he was in the hospital lobby, he seemed to see the shadow of people he knew.
