My Sweet Green's

Self-Esteem

Rizal grimaced as the doctor injected an anesthetic into his arm. So hurt. He sighed furiously, this is how it works.

"The wound's been treated, Mas. Must rest a few days so that the stitches are dry" said the glasses doctor was friendly.

"Thank you, Doc."

Meira immediately approached Rizal who had just come out of the room. He held Rizal's hand.

"What did the doctor say?" ask Meira worriedly.

"Must take a few days' rest." Rizal turned to Meira who was still holding his hand.

"It should be, right. I'm sorry, all this is because of me." said Meira felt guilty.

"I'll take you home." Rizal then releases Meira's hand.

"No, I can go home by myself. And here's your rent." Meira gives a lot of money to Rizal. Rizal is injured by it, and also Rizal has to rest for a few days. Count the money for compensation.

"Thank you." Rizal walked towards the hospital cashier. He wanted to pay for the medical expenses while at the same time redeeming the prescription drugs for his hands.

"Where are you going?"

"Baked recipe."

"I paid for everything."

Rizal stopped his steps. "Why did you pay?"

"Lo fell because of me, so I have to take responsibility."

"You're exaggerating. This rent's paid enough for everything." Rizal took out the money that Meira had given him earlier. He returned half of it to Meira. Rizal feels Meira is feeling sorry for him. This is all overkill.

"Take it, I know you need this money for daily needs, right."

Rizal takes Meira's hand and gives the money to Meira. Rizal did not accept Meira's words that seemed too demeaning. He knew his life was difficult, but he never asked for mercy.

"I can still make money" said Rizal, leaving Meira.

Meira was still pensive with a handful of money in her hand. Is it possible that he was too demeaning to Rizal just now? Ah, Meira bit her lip feeling guilty. He should not treat Rizal like that, even though Rizal has been very good to him. Rizal had already given the most beautiful scenery today to her.

Do rich people always insult people who don't have anything like us? Rizal clucked in annoyance. He rode his bike only with pain in his hands. Just a few hours ago he thought that Meira was different from the other sultan chicks. But it turns out he misjudged Meira. Nope. Not wrong, but too soon.

The stitch in his arm seems to be running out. Because Rizal just felt pain. It turned out that this small wound was enough to make his hand throb and numb. These wounds should not be caught by the mother especially Tika, they will definitely worry and give thousands of questions about her injuries.

Although Tika is depressed, she does not forget Rizal, her favorite sister. Especially if you know Rizal was injured even to be sewn like that.

Rizal opened the door slowly. No one was home, but the clock was five in the afternoon. Usually Risma has come home from the rice field. Tika's not in the room either. Where'd it go? Rizal began to panic because the door was not locked.

"Assalamualaikum, huh?" Someone from the front door.

"Waalaikumsalam, Mom. Where's it?"

"Your brother really wanted to eat soto in your shop, so we went there." said Risma.

"Mom make warm tea for you, you must be tired all day." said Risma while taking Tika to the room.

Rizal nodded with a smile. Seeing the two women he loved was fine. The pain in his arm instantly disappeared when he saw Tika who seemed to have improved. Tika never wanted to leave the room. But today I don't know if Tika wants to leave the house. Hopefully Tika can recover soon and forget the trauma.

"This is the tea." Risma gave a glass of warm tea she had just made to Rizal.

Rizal held the middle-aged woman's hand. "I'm sorry Rizal, Mom."

"Sorry for what, son?"

"Today Rizal didn't go off until night, Rizal was a little unwell, Mom."

"Son... I won't force you to work until you get sick. Do I need to buy you some medicine?" ask Risma.

"No need, Mom. Drinking stall medicine is also better, kok, ma'am." said Rizal smiled at his mother. Not his body that is not feeling well, but the wound in his arm that makes him have to quickly rest.

In the room Rizal suddenly imagined the sweet face of Meira. The woman really hypnotized him when he fell in the mud of the rice field.

"I don't deserve him at all..." Rizal. He pulled out his blanket and forgot what happened today. And hopefully he won't see Meira again.

Meira was sitting pensively on the sofa of her room. I don't know what he had in mind until he forgot that campus assignments had piled up. He also did not answer calls from his girlfriend. Twenty times Boy's called Meira, but none of Meira's. In Meira's mind now is just how Rizal feels now. Meira feels very guilty for Rizal after the hospital incident. He felt too demeaning to Rizal.

"I'm sorry, Zal. I shouldn't have said that..."

Tok.dok...

The knock on the door blew Meira's daydream. Meira opens the door to her room, where she sees Tina holding a flower bucket and two large chocolate bars.

"It's from den Boy, Non." Tina gave that special item to Meira.

"Thank you, Bik."

Why else would that rude man!

He took out a piece of paper in that beautiful flower slip.

'Forgive me, darling. I promise I won't repeat my mistake yesterday. Just so you know I love you so much. I'm begging you to forgive me, that's how it's written.

Meira could only smile after reading the writing. Boy always had a way of getting Meira back to him. Either Meira who is easily consumed by the seduction of the dreaded Boy. His phone rings again. This time Meira quickly picked it up.

"Not angry anymore, are you?" said someone across the phone.

Meira could only smile. "No, but next time don't do it again."

"I promise, baby. Tomorrow I'll pick you up, my queen."

Hearing Boy's words, Meira did not stop smiling. He seemed to forget all the mistakes of Boy yesterday. He also forgot about Boy's rude attitude. Now all he remembers is flowers, chocolates and romantic words on the phone.

That's how Meira is, her heart is easily touched. He's too cute with Boy. Without him knowing Boy doesn't really love him. Since Meira is the son of a wealthy businessman, Boy can use Meira's money to please him. Boy very easily captivated Meira at that time. Just by pretending to be a hero when Meira almost fell in a ravine during a summer break camp last year.
