Repeating Flavors
Chapter 4 - When Love Calls
That morning Tania accidentally woke up earlier, not as usual. Bik Ijah and Pak Ujang who saw Tania's behavior were confused. How not, at half six in the morning Tania was awake and asked Bik Ijah to make his favorite fried rice two servings. Then approached Pak Ujang not to drive him this morning. Indeed, for several weeks Tania was only three, Papa and her stepmother were visiting Risa in Paris. His half-brother was educated there. The two never even communicate, for Tania the two new people in her family are parasites.
"Morning, sir." said Kevan to Mr. Ujang who was cleaning the car.
"Eh, Den Kevan. Good morning too, Aden ..." reply Mr. Ujang kindly.
"Tania is there, right?" Kevan asked Mr. Ujang again.
"She, Den. Come in, maybe it has been awaited non Tania," said Pak Ujang with a smile sumringah ala Pepsodent ad.
"Good, Sir. Then I go in first, huh? Ujang sir his work spirit!" Kevan cheered the driver of the Tania family. After Bik Ijah was invited in, Kevan waited in the guest chair. While bik Ijah called Tania who was still in the room.
"Non, the handsome prince is already below," seduced Bik Ijah with a seductive smile.
"Kevan, Bik .. not a prince" Tania said rising from her makeup chair. Then he immediately met Kevan. "Hi .. sorry waiting. Breakfast is yuk!" Tania takes Kevan to the dining room. Kevan who had not eaten breakfast did not mind Tania's invitation, he followed Tania to the dinner table.
There were already two servings of fried rice and two glasses of milk waiting for them. Of course all this was Tania's request this morning. Bik Ijah and Pak Ujang peeking behind the kitchen door began to understand.
After finishing breakfast they say goodbye to Pak Ujang and Bik Ijah. The two went to school together.
"You don't mind if I screw you with a motorbike?" tanya Kevan makes sure that Tania is comfortable with the motorbike.
"Of course I don't mind at all, I like it!" answered Tania enthusiastically.
Kevan accidentally picks up Tania on his motorcycle. I used to want to use the car, but Kevan found it more fun to ride the bike with someone he likes. Yes, of course Kevan certainly likes Tania. It's just that ..it took the right time for her to express her feelings to Tania.
Upon arrival at the school parking lot, the two walked down the school corridor to their class. All eyes were on him. The cleft flips of some envious students became commonplace. Tania and Kevan enjoyed being together that morning. Arriving at the classroom, Siska and Lala immediately pulled Tania out.
"Tan, you're being?" ask Siska curiously.
"No," Tania replied casually.
"Oath,deh! You're not lying, are you?" Siska asked her best friend a question again. While Lala just nodded enthusiastically.
"Sure, we're not, but maybe not yet, hahaha.." Tania laughed off seeing the expressions of her two best friends.
Tania likes Kevan, but she's a girl. It is not ethical to express his heart first.
...***...
The midterm exam awaits all BUDI PEKERTI High School students. All XII class children study hard considering they will soon graduate. This time Tania forgets her feelings for Kevan and focuses more on facing the test. The same thing Kevan did even though they remained as usual.
The Middle Semester Examination is over. There was a slight feeling of relief in the hearts of all the students. Waiting for the results of the exam to come out next week. Kevan tells Tania that he is going to Singapore for a few days to meet his friends there. Tania actually feels heavy, but Tania is not who Kevan is. Until this moment Kevan has not said anything to him, it makes Tania dilemma whether all this time only herself who loves Kevan. If it is true as it is, Tania feels like a stupid woman who is too PD with her own feelings.
One week Tania had not seen Kevan, although Kevan always called and sent WhatsApp, for Tania Kevan's whereabouts were more important.
The school bell rings. All BUDI PEKERTI High School students enter their respective classes and the lessons begin. Tania still hasn't found Kevan. Apparently Kevan that day had not entered because the grandfather was sick, the news was delivered directly by Mr. Anwar their homeroom teacher.
"Hi, Van. Are you okay? I just heard the news from Mr. Anwar if your grandfather is seriously ill, I pray for immediate improvement huh? Don't forget to take care of your health and go home soon, I'll have a birthday." Tania sent a message to Kevan.
The hour of rest arrived, Tania looked at her phone screen. There was not a single message from Kevan that made Tania think. Siska, Dea, Lala and Rio approached Tania who was sitting alone in the school cafeteria.
"Tan, daydream anyway. Ntar kesambet, loh!" rio said while patting Tania on the shoulder.
"Yes, here! The pujaan heart does not enter so upset like this" said Siska.
"Udah .. you guys just why, all of us and all the children of one school also already know kelezz if you have something," this time Dea also talked.
Dea has supported Kevan and Tania's relationship. He feels Kevan only loves Tania, his best friend. Tania has the same feeling. Dea prefers to save their friendship from her ego. In Sela-sela, a message from Kevan was printed on Tania's mobile screen. He immediately opened the message followed by his four friends who began to pry with the contents of the message sent Kevan.
"I'm okay, Tan. Thanks for the prayer, I think .. I'll give you the most beautiful gift you won't be able to guess. Wait for me to come home okay?"
Tania smiled broadly. While his four best friends actually tease him, "Cie .. cie .. there are flowers." Tania was embarrassed. Honestly, Tania is difficult to hide her feelings despite having struggled especially in front of her four best friends.
Two more days Tania's 17th birthday. Papa Tania has returned to Indonesia, only the wife or rather stepmom Tania still stay there because Risa still wants to be with her mother. It made Tania a little relieved, especially in a precious moment in her life there was nothing to ruin her mood. Papa Tania asked Tania's wishes on her birthday in addition to the grave of her late mother. As usual Tania wants to go to the grave of her mother, one of the mandatory events when Tania's birthday.
Papa Tania accidentally bought Tania a white Lamborghini Aventador sports car that was extraordinarily expensive for a birthday gift. Papa Tania does have some business, it feels natural for a father. Moreover, papa Tania knew since childhood that the princess only liked the car. Again, this is the result of reports from bik Ijah and Pak Ujang who gave information. The car will be given by Tania when they arrive at the tomb of his wife who is Tania's mother.
While Tania just want to make a garden party behind her Villa which is at the top with the people closest to her. Despite being born from a family of being, Tania was not arrogant and remained humble with everyone. Tania has always lived as is and wants to learn to live a difficult life, she always learns from the aunt and Pak Ujang who is indeed from a background of people not being.
