Jealous

The next day, James woke up at 08:40. Understandably, mumpung saturday holiday. He saw Celine sitting on the porch of the house while holding the Feather Ball. It looks like Little One has been bathed by Celine. It was seen that he was shaking his body, so that the water in his fur disappeared.

"Little is already given a name, Lin?" james asked after arriving near Celine.

Celine nodded in response. Then, his mouth called out a word, "furry ."

"Furry from Fast and Furious ?" asked James who was a bit confused, felt the word was not very representative of The Feather Ball.

"Furry from Fur which means soft-haired, Bodot ! Not the Fury - the Furious ! So, don't watch much! Upgrade to English!" alex replied, who was suddenly behind James.

Hearing Alex's reply, James could only smile wryly. While Celine, can only smile to keep James feeling.

"Where are you going today, right?" james asked to try to divert the conversation.

"Later in the afternoon we went to the pet shop. Want to find stuff for the Furry, like a dog collar, a place to eat, a place to drink. Yeah .. that's it. Anyway Celine is erratic. Nape's? You wanna come?" alex asked after answering James' question.

"Ga. The cave wants to take care of Celine's subject matter. So much for that. Lessons for a week, cuy .." declined James.

"Okelah that is. The cave went by Celine. Ye's spirit !" said Alex.

" Iye, " replied James with a bitter smile.

...****************...

Celine has completed nearly all of the IX-grade maple material, except physics, biology, and geography, which are still somewhat behind. Especially in Indonesian and English, Celine's material is even almost equivalent to children his age, namely material grade XI.

It turns out Mbok Yani's answer, already. (noted: homeschooling children can obtain a diploma by taking an equality exam organized by the Ministry of National Education. Package B Equality Test is a test to get an SMP diploma. )

Therefore, James decided Celine was ready for the majors. As expected, Celine chose a language major, although it is not yet clear what her aspirations are.

Thus, of course the portion of time teaching the 'immediate teachers' experienced a massive overhaul. Today, Papa Heru only teaches Mathematics. Bang Alex only teaches History and Anthropology. The rest of the maples, they were all taught by Mama Ratna.

As Alex's teaching time dwindles, Alex has more free time than ever before. Coupled with the furry, Alex so much time spent with Celine. Maybe because Alex also felt responsible for the furry, because after all he was the one who received the furry directly from his friend.

Alex and Celine often take the furry for a walk or a morning run together. They also invited Furry to play and train furry. In fact, furry was included in the competition, such as the Dog Fashion Show or Agility Race (a contest to assess the intelligence of dogs in one game). Anyway, everything related to furry, done both.

Since the arrival of furry, Celine's social and emotional development has improved. Celine was more cheerful, smiling and laughing a lot. Celine has also been more courageous to meet other people, because of the many activities outside the home.

Celine can now call Mbok Yani himself just to give news and chat lightly. Of course when Celine first called Mbok Yani, the old woman was moved to tears. She was so grateful that Miss Young had been able to change so far.

In James's observation, Celine who now resembled Celine he had seen in the zoo, was even more so. Due to time in the zoo, Celine can only interact with Dion. While now, Celine can interact with all members of the Wijaya family.

Of course James is very happy with Celine's change. But he can't lie to himself either. He knew the negative feelings he felt were growing. Especially when he saw Celine's closeness to his brother.

This time, he knew exactly how he felt. That feeling is called 'jealousy'. In other words, James realized that he had fallen in love with Celine.
