Pursuing the Wrong Love

episode 21

Andri paddled his bike slowly towards school, along the way he kept thinking about mommy's words when in the garage earlier.

"if you don't want to join mommy now and choose to stay here, mommy hope you stay away from Asty because mommy doesn't want mommy's past to repeat itself to you. If you don't want to obey mommy, don't blame mommy if something even more terrible happens to Asty."

The words kept ringing in his brain. Confused, because after all Andri already feel comfortable when near Asty and feel sad if far from him. That feeling he never got before from anyone.

After arriving at school and putting his bike in the bicycle parking lot, he walked around unnoticed. Until he unknowingly hit someone in front of him.

"Jeez Andriii.You don't see if I walk down my street why you hit me." exclaimed Tina, picking up her books strewn on the floor.

"i'm sorry Tina, I didn't mean it." Andri helped tidy up Tina's book.

"why are you, the way is daydreaming?" tina asked curiously.

"ah. no really, I'm not why." answered Andri covered her feelings.

"hmmm you must have thought of Asty?" guess Tina.

"no, no."

"don't have to boong, are you worried about Asty? I'm going to go to school later, I'm going to his house, you're not going?" take Tina.

Andri really wanted to come along, but suddenly came across the phrase mommy back. On the one hand Andri wants to see the state of Asty, but on the other hand he is afraid of the threat of mommy.

"wouy... How do you want to come? even daydream." Tina dashed Andri's daydream.

Andri did not answer, and the bell rang. They rushed into the classroom and attended the lessons that day.

At Asty's house

"what's mom doing?" Asty was standing behind Tatum, who was busy cutting vegetables.

"Asty, why are you here? you just rest in the room." mom Tatum put down the knife he was holding and woke up from sitting holding both shoulders Asty.

"i'm bored, ma'am." Asty bowed listlessly.

"yes, if you are bored in the room alone, you sleep in front of ajah yes, the mother turns on her tv so you are not bored." Tatum gave an offer.

"hmmm alright ma'am, I want to just sleep in front of the tv." exclaimed Asty and walked towards the tv room.

Asty lay staring at the television, but her mind drifted away thinking of Andri.

"is he worried about me at school? ahh I can't think about it, I've promised not to get close to him." Asty's inner self while shaking her head made Ms. Tatum who happened to be looking at her feel surprised.

"Asty, why are you, son? is your head hurting again?" tanya ma'am Tatum panicked.

"ahh no ma'am, I'm still doing my head gymnastics so it's not stiff." elak Asty.

"you are there." exclaimed mother Tatum laughing and walked towards the kitchen again.

"mother.." call Asty to make Miss Tatum stop her steps.

"yes, why son?" tanya ma'am Tatum sat beside her.

"i want to ask you something, can you?"

"yes, what do you want?"

"mom Astrid's aunt has a problem what exactly?"

Bu Tatum was silent for a moment, his memory as if surfing back in time.

"because mom has married her ex-boyfriend Aunt Astrid." exclaimed mom Tatum with an empty panangan.

"what, so dad was Astrid's aunt's ex-boyfriend?" asty asked in surprise and got up from his collapsed position.

"yes son." replied Tatum staring at Asty's face.

"but why ma'am? why did you get married to Aunt Astrid's ex-boyfriend?" with curiosity Asty asked back.

"actually this is how son. Astrid's mother and aunt were very close friends. Until one day your father came to work and told me that Aunt Astrid betrayed him. At first the mother did not believe and wanted to ask the truth, but every mother to her home Aunt Astrid always could not be found.at that time Astrid aunty went to college, while the mother worked in the supermarket from morning until midnight.

Over time, because your father always confided to mother made us feel comfortable with each other and finally decided to get married. It made Aunt Astrid feel disappointed, I heard Aunt Astrid was depressed because of this problem and Rafa who was none other than your father's best friend who always accompanied Astrid's aunt until they finally married."

"yes, maybe that's the way that God loves for your mother and father to unite." mom Tatum smiled at Mr. Reno who looks just entering the house.

"what is this like abis yaa." asked Mr. Reno approaching his son and wife.

"huuh kepo's father nih.." cried Asty.

"oh now you are the same father.yeah father does not want this love to you, make Kak Laras do it all." ledek pak Reno showed a plastic bag containing various kinds of snacks.

"ahhh dad don't, I also want. "asty yelled again but Mr. Reno even more happy to tease Asty.

Ms. Tatum just shook her head at the behavior of her husband and youngest child.

At school....

The bell rang, indicating it was time to go home. Most of the children were screaming in excitement to get home soon. But unlike Andri, he just kept quiet while putting his books and writing tools into a backpack.

"Andri, let's go with Asty, won't we?" tanya Tina approached Andri's desk.

"let's come along." take Rehan

"yes, we also want to go there anyway." added Typhoon.

Andri paused for a moment "I want to see his state, maybe this is the last time and I will keep my distance for his safety." Andri said.

"wouy. how about it, even daydreaming. if you do not want to come yes we have gone there." exclaimed Rehan surprised Andri.

"yeah yes, I want to come." Andri immediately grabbed his backpack and walked after Rehan, Typhoon and Tina.

They drove the bike until finally arrived in front of Asty's house, seen Pak Reno sitting in front of the house.

"eh there are Asty's friends, come on please come in." take Mr. Reno with a friendly.

"yes, thank you." said the four of them.

They then entered the house, it appears that Asty was sitting leaning on a chair while watching the ftv not forgetting her favorite snack that continues to be in her arms.

"aduuduuh. again seriously apparently." led Tina on Asty who did not realize that her friends came.

"ehh since when have you been here." Asty exclaimed in surprise.

"yes, about an hour we're here." joked Rehan.

"long too yeah." cried Asty laughing.

"let's sit down." Asty added.

When they threw jokes at each other, Andri just fell silent staring at Asty who already looked better.

"thankfully you've healed now, I can be a little calm when you are far from me." Andri...
