One Night's Mistakes (Love's Wrong)

You Have to Keep Distance From Kevin

After getting off Kevin's car, Jeany slowly walked across the water, which was almost knee-deep, topping her shoes. He had resigned his pants wet because he still had replacement pants, but the shoes he held were the only shoes. There is no choice but to walk barefoot.

Fortunately, the flood did not enter his boarding house. It seems that the owner of the boarding house has anticipated the occurrence of flooding so as to elevate the foundation of the house. Jeany always felt amazed at people who think far ahead like the owner of the boarding house.

The girl entered the house that always felt lonely, even with the presence of Serly. When he had just moved there, the boarding house had eight people. However, one by one came out and now there were only four people left, namely Serly, Arini, Husna and himself. Later Arini and Husna increasingly rarely return to the boarding house. Jeany doesn't know why because she's not close to them.

After taking a bath, Jeany tried to knock on Serly's bedroom door but there was no answer. It seems like his boarding sister has not come home because she is still busy dating her new boyfriend. Suddenly, Jeany felt lonely. 

What if I had a boyfriend I wouldn't feel lonely anymore? ask in the heart.

But where would anyone want to be the same boring woman as me?

Jeany tries to entertain herself by reading novels. However, the love story is sad because the third person in the novel actually makes his chest feel tight. He decided to call Mita, a friend who had not been met for a semester.

"Hello, Jean?" mita's voice was heard when she received her phone call.

"Hello, long time no see. How's your papa doing?" After hearing Mita's voice, Jeany realized how much she missed her best friend.

"Still the same. I think there's little hope of waking up …." Mita replied in a soft voice.

Om Ardi, Papa Mita, suffered a stroke and was treated too late to cause damage to the nerves in his brain. It has been six months more Om Ardi just lay with his eyes closed. To eat can only use a small hose inserted through the nostrils and connected to the stomach.

Mita decided to temporarily quit college in order to take care of her father, with the help of a nurse. While Mama Mita turned into the backbone of the family. Lucky mama Mita has a position high enough in her workplace so that the cost of daily living and medical expenses papa Mita can still be fulfilled.

Jeany understands how sad Mita is right now. Papa Jeany himself left for good when Jeany was eleven years old. To this day the girl still feels sad when she remembers the papa. Only prayers can he send to reduce his sadness, hoping that the prayer can launch the journey of the father in nature that can no longer be expected.

"Patience to you, Mit." Jeany is trying to cheer Mita up. However, there were no other words he could say other than asking his best friend to remain patient.

"Yes, I'm starting to be honest. Now what do you want to tell?"

Mita really understands Jeany's habits. His best friend wouldn't call if there was nothing he really wanted to talk about. Jeany is not one who likes to chat at length on the phone.

"Ehm .... You know Kevin, right?" jeany says starting her story.

"Kevin? Kevin Wijaya's? The one that Giselle shot, right?"

"Yes right."

Jeany almost forgot the fact that Kevin was quite popular. Giselle was just one of many college students who approached Kevin. But Giselle is a name that is quite remembered because she is the daughter of a company owner who is not only beautiful but also smart. The news of Giselle's rejection astonished most students, including Jeany herself.

"What's Kevin doing?"

"He's my best friend now."

"What?! How can? I guess you guys didn't know each other before" asked Mita excitedly.

Jeany takes pains to choose words to be easily understood by Mita, while trying to keep Mita from knowing the true events. Not because he didn't trust his best friend, but because he had promised Kevin not to tell anyone.

"Hmm it's kind of weird. I think it's just a mode to get you."

Jeany sighed. Even himself would have thought that way had there not been Stevi.

"He has a girlfriend. Stevi's her boyfriend."

"Well, so-called Stevi?! Pantsan aja Giselle rejected, it turns out a more clear crush. But why does he feel guilty?"

"Oh i-it .... Uhm .... There's my stuff that he's missing. Anyway," Jeany replied stammered, hoping that Mita would not ask further.

"So so. Okay Kevin is now your best friend. What's the problem?"

"There is no. Just want a story. She's so nice, always help me."

Jeany also does not know what caused her heart turmoil to require Mita to share her story.

"Jean, are you starting to have feelings for Kevin?" mita asked in a soft voice.

"What?! You hgga. Where possible!"

"Jean, I know you. Even if it looks cold from the outside, but your feelings are very subtle. You said Kevin always helped you. Looks like you've been carried away by his kindness. Especially ... You rarely get that kind of treatment from a guy, right?" Mita is heard choosing her sentence carefully so as not to offend Jeany.

"How do you think I should?" Jeany had no intention of refuting anymore. He knew what his best friend said was true.

"I think you should keep your distance from Kevin."

"Keep some distance?"

Jeany was flabbergasted to hear the advice of her best friend. He thought Mita would keep encouraging him. To be honest, what he expected was indeed an endorsement, an affirmation that the feelings growing in his heart were not wrong. Sometimes a man is like that, asking a question that he himself has determined the answer to.

"Yes keep your distance. He wants to be your best friend because he feels guilty, right? That means he's not sincere."

"But I feel like he's sincere, Mit ..," Jeany said to Mita. This was the first time he felt something different towards the opposite sex but was instead encouraged to keep his distance.

"Try you think. If it wasn't for feeling guilty, would he be your best friend?"

Jeany thought for a moment. There is no other reason for Kevin to be his best friend. If nothing happens that night, they will live their lives as usual. Knowing but feeling foreign is no different than not knowing each other.

"It looks like a hing," he answered honestly.

"Sorry yes if I'm hard, but it's for your own good. Don't let you feel the pain of one-sided love, let alone she already has a boyfriend. By the way I wonder what stuff he's missing?"
