Pursuing Your Love

Chapter 8 Say Breakup

Dion was still staring resentfully at his parents who were so drastic at Krystal's arrival, which was a step, I admit my mom and dad are so kind and loving to me too, but their current behavior was very suspicious as well.

"Dion's? Why are you hanging out there? Let's sit here near Krystal."

"Papa has prepared a special meal for you." Papa Dion seems excited about serving his work.

"Where, Dion, Krystal the food is good, right?" Mama Dion chimed. Dion just smiled cynically. While Krystal nodded with a smile.

"The food is delicious. But Papa and Mama's attitude is weird."

"Well what's so weird, dear Dion? This is to welcome Krystal to our home." Mama Dion answered, looking clumsy to hear her son's words.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt. I love you guys."

"We love you too, Krystal." Reply Mama Dion.

"So now you love Krystal more than your own son?" Dion's getting sewed.

"It looks so Dion dear. Isn't it Pa?" Papa Dion nodded quickly.

Grandpa, Papa and Mama are all the same, preferring Krystal. But let it be, at least I can see Krystal's smile, Inner Dion resigned.

"Again, Krystal." Excited Dion as he approached Krystal who was sitting enjoying breakfast.

"Morning, you look fresh this morning, Dion. How do you plan on deciding on all your girlfriends?"

"My plan hasn't changed."

"You're gonna decide them this morning? There will be a flood of tears."

"At least I'm being honest with them, rather than me continuing to play them."

"You prepared the steel mentality, huh.." Krystal laughing.

They both went to Dion's college. Krystal was amazed to see Dion's car which he thought was so cool.

"Dion, when are we going to find my mother and sister?" Ask Krystal on the way.

"Later after I've run out to break off all my girlfriends."

"First target, Carla.

"Wall she?

"Yes, she's my first boyfriend, I'm really nervous and scared to break it.

"Why?

"Because Carla's a karate prodigy. I hope I survive the kick."

"really?" Krystal shuddered.

*****

They arrive at Carla's karate training ground. The girl did not seem to like when she saw Dion coming with Krystal.

Dion approaches Carla, while Krystal is waiting for her behind them, but Krystal is also afraid that her presence will lead Carla to misunderstand her and hurt her.

"I want us to break up, Carla." Dion without stale bases.

"Are you cheating on that girl?"

"It's up to you to judge how."

Plakkk slap right on Dion's right cheek. The young man touched his cheeks while smiling grimacingly.

"That's just one reason. All this time I was just playing with you. There is no love. Because it's better we split up."

And one kick, Dion's body bounced on the floor. Krystal ran up to him. Dion grimaced with the pain in his stomach.

"Bad! You dare to play me! Be careful if you dare to appear before me again. I'll destroy your body!"

Carla then left. The girl did not cry just her face flushed with anger.

"How you are, Dion. What's that hurting?" Krystal panicked. The girl was still trembling considering the scene of Carla throwing a kick at Dion. But Dion smiled.

"Why are you smiling, Dion?"

"Because I feel relieved. I feel a lot better."

After restrained for a moment to restore the condition of his body, Dion then took Krystal to the place of Dini. This time Dion seemed calm. Unlike when they were about to meet Carla, Dion was restless and trembling. Maybe because Carla was karate until the young man trembled.

"Here, I have a request for you. What if we break up and you get ten million in return?"

Dini was silent for a moment and slapped Dion.

"I like money, but your attitude is very insulting to me, Dion." And why did you suddenly ask to break up with me, whereas before going to Bandung you were very kind and looking for me when you were upset to decide something. Aren't you a little bit too much for me?

"Already, Dini. All this time you were just after my money. So just take this money. We're even, right?"

Dini took the envelope with money from Dion's hand and left without saying a word.

"The girl wasn't angry and crying, Dion."

"of course. He's matre. Money's everything to him."

"then, who else would you decide?"

"May you be strong, Dion."

When meeting Vania, Krystal tried her hardest to hold back a laugh. Vania dress style is very simple aka lack of materials.

"Dionnnn, I miss you. I was lonely and always got reproaches from friends. Said I was a pretentious artist." Vania embraces spoiled at Dion.

"They are like that, right? You have to be mentally strong."

"Who is this girl, Dion? Not your girlfriend, is it?" Vania stared dislikefully at Krystal.

"He's my friend from Bandung. Vania, I don't want to be at length. I'm tired and I have a lot of work to do." Vania was confused.

"I want us to break up."

"You're kidding me, aren't you, Dion?" Vania laughs. But his laughter stopped when he saw Dion standing still.

"You seriously want to break up?" Dion nodded.

"What's my fault, Dion?" Vania crying.

"There's nothing wrong, Vania. I want to live quietly. I don't want to lie to you anymore. I haven't loved you all this time."

Plakk. For the umpteenth time Dion received a slap. This time it was from Vania before the girl stepped away leaving her.

The same story repeated itself to the other girls they met. One by one Dion's girlfriends get a break-in SK. Although tired and sick received a slap but Dion felt relieved. Krystal saw Dion's condition but remained encouraging.

"Today's enough, Krystal. Now we're looking for your mother and sister."

"alright. I'll take you to my old house. I have the address. I hope my mom and sister are still there."

After a half-hour drive, Krystal and Dion arrive at a house that looks clean and well-maintained.

"It's been a long time. Do my mom and sister still live here?"

Krystal then knocked on the door and an old woman came out.

"Who are y'all? Who are the two boys looking for?"

"We're looking for Mother Hilda. She's my mama."

The old woman thought for a moment.

"Know mom, they've moved on, son. If I don't hear wrong, then I hear they will stay in Jakarta just that the address is not complete."

Krystal was saddened to hear the old woman's explanation. His steps are headed towards the car. The address given is unclear.

"We'll just go home, Krystal. It's afternoon. Tomorrow we continue."

When they got home, Dion's parents were waiting for them.

"Where have you been? We're worried about waiting for you."

"We're looking for Krystal's mother and sister, Ma. Since childhood, Krystal lost them."

"The poor crystal. Don't be sad, Auntie, pray that you can find them." Mama Dion hugged Krystal.

*****

Later that night, Dion searches for Krystal throughout the house but does not find Krystal. The phone is also inactive.

"Where's the girl?" Mumbled Dion worriedly.

Dion remembered Krystal's habit of being sad. The girl's going to the hill. But there is no hill in this place. Then where's the girl? Dion became more confused before he finally patted his own eel.

"Crystal's definitely upstairs. This place is similar to a hill. Both are at high altitudes."

Dion then ran to the fourth floor. Sure enough, Krystal was lying in a long chair. The chair was deliberately placed on the terrace facing the sky.

"It turns out you're here, I've been looking everywhere for you."

"I'm glad to see the stars, Dion. It feels so close to the moon and stars. I remember my father and myself. We are like the moon and the stars. I'm sure Dad's always with me. Like the moon and the stars that always go side by side."

They then sat side by side. Krystal leaned her head against Dion's shoulder. The young man was happy and happy. Especially when Krystal fell asleep, Dion did not want to wake her.

"God! I overslept. Dion, wake!" Krystal shook Dion's body, waking the young man up. But Dion was delirious,

"Krystal, please don't marry Panji. I love you so much. I'll do anything to make you happy."

"Even when you sleep, you still think of me. I'm sorry Dion. Even though I'm engaged, you still don't care and keep fighting for me. I followed you because I wanted to find my sister and my mother."

Suddenly Dion woke up and their faces almost touched. Dion was nervous and hurriedly stood up until his body was dazed and almost fell. Krystal laughed at him.

"It turns out the face of a playboy like you looks different during sleep. So innocent and innocent."

"Honestly, Krystal. You must like me a lot, right? Why are you watching me while I'm sleeping?"

Krystal fell silent.

"Sorry, Dion. I love Panji so much. Please don't expect much from me. I don't want you to get hurt. I just want to be friends with you."

"Sorry, Krystal. I can't do it. As long as you're not married, please give me a chance. Can love come from friendship? Let me fight until there's no chance for me to get you."

"It's up to you, Dion. I'm going to the room. I'm cold in here."

Dion looked up at the sky.
