REX AND REN

Move On

I woke up from sleep, instantly putting my palms on my chest, my heart racing. It turns out that I still feel the pain of a broken heart, I have not been able to completely forget.

Slowly, closing my eyes, I breathe out of my nose and slowly I pull out of my mouth. This is one of the breathing techniques to make the body more relaxed. I saw it on my yoga channel on YouTube.

I shake my head, I can't do this, I can't keep going. How long should I feel this heartbreak? I mean, I'm the most disadvantaged victim here. First fell in love and expressed it by writing a letter that Abi said was very old-fashioned, absurd and lebay? He didn't know I was trying so hard for it! I even made a cake for her, but all my efforts were just heartbroken.

Can't keep this up!

My life is too precious to be wasted lamenting heartbreak. There are still many other things I have to do. I have bigger goals and dreams, Oxford. Like I had superpowers, I got out of bed. Walk towards the dresser, to get a hair tie and then pout my hair up. Well, I had to do something to forget the tragic loss of my first love.

“Spirit, Ren! You can definitely!” I said while looking in the mirror. Then I got out of the room and went downstairs.

I walked into the kitchen and found my mom cooking for dinner. Mama is seen occasionally singing by wearing lace aprons flowers motifs.

“Ma, can Ren help you?” I offered myself.

Mama looked over and looked surprised as she looked at me from top to bottom.

“Tumben, help. Again diligent or how,” said mama. But he kept shifting his talent towards me.

I started cutting tofu, while mom washed the broccoli under the tap. There were other vegetables on the table as well.

“Are we on a diet program, Ma? Meals vegetables all.” askaku. Mama turned off the tap.

“Not a diet, but now we start a healthy living program. Which means, we should eat healthy too, which contains a lot of fiber. Let digestion smoothly.” clear mama. I just shuddered in horror, I think over time in the kitchen mama will turn everyone in this house into a vegetarian. If everyone's a vegetarian, how's my favorite chicken stew?

“But not just vegetables, really. There is also meat that will want mama to make sate.” he continued. Unknowingly I breathed a sigh of relief while being bearded.

“Ren, do you think mama looks fat?”

“What?” I said while watching him.

“It's not like, Ma.”

In fact, mama is not slim first, but why? Mama still looks beautiful. I don't even see many women who are over 40 years old as pretty as my mom. I think the mama looks young, what else with her dimples when smiling.

“Emang papa says fat mom?”

“Not, but the time last week, Ms. Ami who said that mama was fat,” mama grumbled.

Miss Ami? Ah, yes definitely what mama meant by Bu Ami whose house is at the end of the complex. I met him once during a show at our house.

“Hah, he should have missed,” I said. I did not think he could say fat mama, even though his body size is also stretched. Twice as much as my mom.

“He doesn't realize what, Ma? His weight was probably almost the same as an elephant.” Mama giggles.

“Yes, geez...Ren, that's so hell do not want the same elephant.”

I just grunt. Then my mom gave me a carrot to cut it into pieces.

“So, you're doing well now?” ask mom carefully. Well, I know exactly what mom is talking about. Of course, not a single piece of information escaped us from mama. If I didn't say anything, Rex would have tweeted.

“Iya, Ma.” replied.

“If it's already about love, surely we will mergerasain whose name is hurt, continue to cry and it's natural. What else for women, whose feelings are more sensitive.” continued mama. Now she looks like she's filling up the water in the pot.

“So, Ren consider this to be an experience. Falling awake is common, sad may be but not for long. After that we must rise again, live must continue to walk. If you continue to be sad, it's called redundant time. After all, it's better to feel pain than never, right?” knock mama while looking at me, smiling with her dimples. As soon as I smile too, I think my mom has the power to transmit a smile.

“OK?” said again.

“OK!” I answered and then mama stroked my head gently.

If I could reincarnate in the next life, wherever I was put in place, I wouldn't ask someone better to be my mother than my mother.

Everyone in the world should be like a mom. Who always guide and tirelessly establish good communication with his children. I think if all parents are like that, maybe we no longer encounter cases of suicide or depression that occur due to lack of parental affection. Well, I often see news like that on social media.

“Hah, but by the way, mama cook vegetables like this, what does Rex like, huh?” mama said as she walked off her waist.

“Quiet aja, Ma. Rex itukan belongs to the group of omnivores, eaters of everything.”

“Ah, really too, yes.” We laughed together.

Like getting an injection of a new spirit, my mood suddenly soared. I got excited again. Well, maybe I failed in love, but that doesn't mean I failed in life. From now on, I will do what I should do, achieve my dreams. There are no words to describe how I feel about my mother right now, which I know, I love her so much.

***

When I got to school, I knew something was wrong. Whispers followed me along the corridor. Many looked at me and quickly turned their eyes as soon as I turned.

What the hell is it?

Spontaneously I immediately looked at myself, checking from the tip of the shoe to the touch of my hair. I think everything's normal. But why do they look at me like that? What's so weird?

Shortly thereafter Maya ran towards me.

“I swear, I didn't gossip anything,” he said with a chat.

“What do you mean, May?” many confused.

“Loh, you don't know?”

I'm shaking.

“Emang there is something strange about me?” I said pointing at myself. It was Maya's turn to shake.

“No, nothing wrong with your appearance.”

“Terus?”

Maya sighed, then put on a sad face. Then he told me.

Then I can only stare.

It seems like my life's problems are not over yet.
