Pursued by the Love of Jengkol Children

Simalakama

At first, Rico did not want to tell him what his purpose was to raise money. However, as Clayton kept asking about it, Rico finally shyly told Clayton his purpose.

'' Emm.. Actually, I raised that money because I wanted to buy my dream sports car Clay. You know, I love cars like that! You also know, if among a group of friends, my car is the ugliest.'' said Rico looked sad.

'' Oh. So that's why you often ask for tips from me? Yes yes yes! But by the way, why don't you ask to buy it with your parents? Your parents are rich too!'' sahut Clayton commented on Rico.

'' Clay.. Clay. I am not as lucky as you, who if you want something just talk continue to be loved. My parents were very calculating in giving me something. If they think that something is not important, then they will not want to give it.''

'' Therefore, in order to realize my wish, I must try myself to get it.''

'' Oh, so that's the story! Your car is the ugliest among the others. But may be may. It turns out you can also learn a little independently, Clayton said with a beard.

'' Yes Clay. I myself sometimes think, what use am I in the midst of a rich family. I can't do anything like the other rich kids. But luckily, on campus there was still something worse to his fate than me. One of them was that poor boy!'' rico said, remembering Raka.

'' Uh Clay! Speaking of that poor boy, what are you going to do with him. Isn't Bella still in a relationship with him?'' rico asked after remembering Raka.

'' Just relax Ric. Soon, they will break up. Both of Bella's parents said they would ask the poor boy to stay away from Bella as soon as possible. So, for the time being you are watching that boy enough.''

'' But, if later it turns out that the boy is still close to Bella, we will make her regret for not wanting to hear our warning yesterday.'' said Clayton looked serious.

As he said that, Clayton with his sharp eyes, looked far ahead. In his mind, a plan came to do something to Raka. He does not want, if the goal is to get Bella, there are those who obstruct him including Raka who is Bella's lover.

'' Oh yes Ric. Besides that poor boy, we also seem to have to teach Helen a lesson. Although not directly, she has also become a hindrance to me getting Bella.''

'' But Clay, how do we teach him a lesson? You yourself know, Bella's parents are not random people either. If it gets caught, we can run out, said Rico looked confused and worried.

For a while, Clayton was silent and did not answer Rico's questions. He seemed to be thinking hard, so that he could make Helen no longer be a bully of what her goal was.

During the day, Clayton also failed to make Helen obey his wishes like other girlfriends. However, she could not intimidate Helen, as Helen also threatened to ask her father to bring the matter into the realm of law. For this reason, Clayton prefers to stay away from Helen than later he was troubled because of Helen.

A few minutes later, Clayton whispered to Rico. Rico the mangosteen-beard sign understood what Clayton whispered to him.

Soon after, Clayton took his car to the place where he and his friends had gathered. Rico then tells them that tonight they will be reunited at this place. Not long after, Clayton, Rico, and other friends, they disperse to re-group at night.

......................

That morning. Bella who since yesterday afternoon could not contact Raka, she left early in the morning to campus. He wanted to meet Raka and talk to her about something. He hoped, this morning Raka had also arrived there as usual. However, when he reached the campus, Raka still did not see the trunk of his nose.

Meanwhile. Because it was too busy, even though Raka had seen no messages and missed calls from Bella, but she still had no time to reply to messages or call back. In fact, he also had not had time to tell Bella, that his grandfather Naya died.

Last night, she fell asleep after attending a prayer service for her grandfather Naya. Although Raka felt a little worried that Bella would be angry with him later, but Raka was ready with the possibility.

'' Brother, let's go! Go to noon later! Naya can be late to school.'' invite Naya who is neat by wearing a school uniform, complete with her carry bag.

'' Yes Nay. Come on!'' sahut Raka, then immediately turn on the engine of the motor, after previously removing the motor from the house.

Both of them then left on a motorbike. After lowering Naya in front of the school gate, Raka then returned to take her motorcycle to campus. However, a few hundred meters before he got there, a car stopped him. The driver asked Raka to stop and pull over.

'' Eh! Father, Mother, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?'' said Raka greeting the two people in the car.

'' Raka! We need to be with you for a minute. And please handle this well!'' said Ms. Linda after getting out of the car, followed by Mr. Daniel.

'' Yes, Ma'am, sir! Please.'' said Raka after pulling the bike.

Ms. Linda and Mr. Daniel then said something to Raka. It seems that what they say is so serious. Judging from Raka's face, it seems that Raka also felt a little disappointed by what was conveyed by the two parents of Bella.

After feeling enough, Mr. Daniel and Ms. Linda then went back into his car, then left Raka who was still silent there.

For a while, Raka, who was still in disbelief with what Mr. Daniel and Ms. Linda had just said, was so fixated on her place. His eyes look teary, while continuing to stare at the car of Bella's parents who have far left the place.

Coincidentally, while Raka was still standing there, without her noticing, a car stopped nearby. The driver then opened the car door and greeted Raka.

'' Hey Ka! Why are you hanging out there? It's like a statue of Liberti. Let's get to class! Ntar hit by Mr. Gultom's law again, just knew the taste.'' said the driver of the car who turned out to be Helen.

Hearing Helen's cry, Raka finally regained her senses from her daydream. He immediately rubbed his eyes, not wanting Helen to know what was going on with him. Raka then smiled to greet Helen, then immediately boarded her motorcycle and headed to the campus.

'' Mas Raka! How come you are so late! I have been waiting for you since!'' bella said when she saw Raka's arrival in class.

'' Sorry Bell! I had a need. That's why I was a little late coming to campus.'' said Raka when Bella approached him.

'' Ma! I'd like to talk to you. Can we go to the park for a minute?'' pinta Bella while pulling Raka's arm.

Because the class is almost starting, Bella finally obeyed what Raka said. He returned to his seat and delayed to discuss something with Raka. Raka herself also actually wants to talk to Bella. However, because the time is not possible, he must wait until the class is over.

Time is running so slow. Both Bella and Raka, both of them looked so agitated. Time and time again, the two threw eyes at each other. After a few hours, the class finally ended. Soon Bella approached Raka after tidying up her college supplies.

'' Mas Raka! How about we talk at the cafe. We haven't been there for a long time either.'' take Bella to Raka.

Raka almost agreed to Bella's proposal. However, he remembered that this afternoon he also had to pick up Naya. If he and Bella go to the cafe, of course they will linger there. Moreover, what they were going to talk about later, it also seemed to take a short time.

'' Sorry Bell! Looks like we can't talk there. This afternoon, I have to pick up Naya. I didn't talk to him, too, if I couldn't pick him up today. Kan kasian if later he waited.'' said Raka.

'' Keep going, what about me? I also have something important that I want to talk to you about. After all, usually you never shuttle Naya.'' said Bella who does not know about Naya now.

'' Bella, Naya's grandfather died yesterday. Now, Naya lives with us because her house has been taken over by its current owner. Hence, from now on Naya went home with me.'' replied Raka gently.

'' Innalilahi wainnailaihi roji. So Naya's grandfather died! Why don't you tell me!'' bella is shocked to hear from Raka.

'' Yes Bell. Pardon me! Yesterday I was busy with Naya's grandfather's funeral and also taking care of Naya's transfer. I also just had time to open my phone, after I came home from a joint prayer for the deceased. Because I was so tired, I went straight to sleep and did not have time to reply to your message. Sorry Bell.'' Raka said with a pleading expression.

'' Gini is aja mas! What is this afternoon selling?'' ask Bella.

'' For this afternoon, I think I'm taking Bell off. Besides my body feels tired, I also kasian with Naya. He is still in a mourning mood. I'd better accompany her with mom at home. Why are you so?'' raka said then asked back.

'' Mas Raka's. Let me go this time. I want to talk to your mother and also all you want to say condolences for the passing of her grandfather Naya. Please please go! Give me this once chance and please do not refuse my request!'' pinta Bella is very.

'' But Bell, I guess..''

'' Please help me! All this time I've been patient enough to wait for the time when I can meet your mother. How many times have you refused my request. Actually, are you seriously not the same as me?'' sahut Bella, cut Raka's words immediately.

Raka was silent for a while. In his heart he was worried. She also feels bad, because she has repeatedly refused Bella's desire to come to her house and meet her mother. Moreover, this time Bella also wanted to say her martial arts to Naya. However, in his ears still ringing the words of Miss Linda and Mr. Daniel this morning.

One side, Raka who feels bad for Bella, she wants to obey Bella's request even though it is still with a little heavy heart. But on the other hand, both the words of Bella's parents and her mother's worries, make Raka not dare to obey Bella's wishes.

'' But Bella. How about later if...?'' raka said not daring to continue his words.

'' What then? If my mom and dad knew we were still in a relationship? Or..! If your mother knew my family status and our relationship wasn't sanctioned? That's what you mean?'' bella can read Raka's mind.

Raka was silent again. The dilemma in his heart really made him feel like he was dealing with a simalakama fruit. Should he still maintain the relationship with Bella and bear any risks, or he cut the relationship and stay away from Bella, and sacrifice the feelings in her heart.

'' Oh..! If you are serious with me. Let's face these obstacles together. I would, if I had to lose my life as it is now.''

'' I would too, if I were to be exiled by Mami and Papi in order to maintain our love! As long as you are also really serious and willing to fight for this relationship, I will always faithfully accompany you until the end of my life.' said Bella looked so serious, then grabbed Raka's hand and placed it on her chest.

Hearing Bella's words that seemed so sincere, Raka felt a little calm. After all, he himself loved Bella very much. In fact, he himself is willing to sacrifice anything to be able to maintain his love with Bella.

After the doubts in his heart began to fade, Rakapun finally invited Bella to come to his house and meet his mother. However, before they go there, they also stop by Naya's school to pick her up.

Because both of them each carry a vehicle, Bella also invites Naya to ride her car. While Raka, he took his bike and walked in front as a guide.

After traveling for about 20 minutes, they finally arrived at the rented house where Raka, her mother, and Naya lived. Although Naya is still in mourning for her grandfather's passing, Naya is able to return to cheer more quickly, because she lives with Raka and Sophia's mother. Moreover, this time Bella also came to visit the house.

'' Assalamualaikum.'' shouted Naya when she was in front of the door.

'' Wa'alaikumussalaam.'' heard the answer from inside the house.

When she heard Naya's voice saying greetings, from inside the house, Sophia's mother opened the door. With a smile, Sophia's mother immediately welcomed Naya's arrival. However, as soon as he saw a beautiful woman who had just gotten out of the car and walked towards him, he was a little surprised.

'' Askalamin..'' Sapa Bella, almost at the same time as Raka who also said hello.

'' Wa'alaikum salaam.'' replied Sophia's mother along with Naya.

'' Ma! This is Bella's sister, Raka's boyfriend who often helps us sell serabi.'' Naya's cerocos innocently, when Bella just greeted Sophia's mother.

'' ??...''

Besides Naya. Both Sophia's mother, Raka and Bella, were all shocked by Naya's words. Especially Sophia's mother. He immediately glanced at Raka as if wanting to hear an explanation from her. While Raka, she looked like she was at a loss for words.
