WHY IS MY MOM EVEN LIKE THAT?

***

"Excuse me!"

I knocked on the door, intending to visit Rei House, with Indri's sister behind me.

Previously, Indri asked me to accompany him to visit the House of Rei and Syila.

In the middle of the road, he and I chatted a few words.

Which in essence, he was feeling less confident to get a scholarship, because Fia yesterday fell and got injured.

For me it is natural, because Fia often won her Lomba when she was in the 10th grade.

And to restore his spirit, I told him that I was ready to do anything, if this School succeeds in becoming a general champion.

But he asked me to date him instead, if he managed to make the School a general champion.

I was surprised by his request, but since I couldn't take my words back, of course I agreed.

Eng ... Where did I go?

Oh yes, I have now arrived at Rei's House.

After I knocked on Rei's door, not waiting any longer, the door opened.

"Art?"

It turned out that the one who opened the door was Rei himself.

But ... Why is her cheek covered in bandages?

"Rei? You why?"

Indri seemed surprised by Rei's situation.

"That's okay, brother. By the way, what do you guys need? Bothered to see me?"

"Let's sit down first!"

I, who was tired, wanted to go straight into his house. But Indri immediately answered him, before we could enter.

"Why didn't you go to school today?"

"I'm worried about you Rei, and also about Syila."

"Then we go there. Me and Syila are neighbors."

Indri and I nodded, agreeing with Rei's suggestion.

We are now heading towards the house of Syila, which is not far from where we stand.

But wait, wasn't this house once a contract?

The house is quite large, with a design like a complex house like most.

"Excuse me!"

Rei knocked on the door carefully.

"Eh, Rei? What's up?"

"Syila is there, Auntie? My friend needs to be with Syila as well as with me."

"Oh, come on in first, sit on the couch. Aunty will call Syila."

The one called Aunty by Rei was like Syila's mother. He let us all in.

The three of us then sat on the sofa, waiting for Syila's arrival.

"Please sit down."

"Eh, Iyah Aunt."

"Thank you, Mom."

"Dad, thank you."

I called her Mom to be more polite to hear. In fact, Indri is also the same as me.

But, the mother refused it.

"Not to call Mom. Just call Auntie' dad, son."

"Eh, Iyah Aunt."

So, now I have to call her Aunt, because she herself wanted it.

Then, I sat on the long sofa with my sister Indri beside me, and Rei sat in front of me.

"Acst ...."

Since I was already feeling tired, I leaned my back against the sofa that felt soft.

"You're tired, huh? What is your level of laziness?"

Goddamnit! Indri even mocked me.

But beside that, Syila came and sat down beside Rei.

I felt like something was wrong with both of them. I mean ... Why are the two of them sitting far apart and throwing their faces away?

Hey, hey, hey. What's up with you guys?

"A-Anu .. Why are you sitting far apart?"

Raising his hand, Indri asked like that.

But ... Aunty came over with a drink that looked like orange juice and joined our conversation.

"You don't know? Oh yes, then let Aunt tell me."

After all the drinks were on the table, Auntie started telling stories.

"Yesterday, it was Syila who healed the wound on Rei's cheek. Syila even used a special drug, loh. The drug in particular is with menci—"

Not finished the aunt told me, Syila and Rei instead suddenly shouted and cut the story.

"Mother!"

"Aante!"

Why are they screaming? Even Syila stood up.

"Quite ma'am, don't tell me something as embarrassing as that."

"But .. are you happy because of yesterday?"

Then, Syila and Rei lowered their respective faces.

Hey, hey, hey. I'm really suspicious now. Yesterday they did what?

What does the word Aunt cut off mean is 'kiss her'?

Goddamnit! If that's true, I've been wrong to come here. Why is Rei always so lucky compared to me?!

He had done something strange with Fia. But now it's with Syila.

"A-Anu, Ma'am .. If it's a personal matter, don't go ahead. We don't have a problem, Kok."

"Dad, right, Ben?"

I nodded, agreeing.

"Ah, sorry Fia, I was wrong. Then, I'll go first."

Aunty left us, then Syila and Rei sat back down.

But ... Why are they still sitting so far apart?

Never mind, I don't care. I'd better drink the orange juice.

"Why don't you go to school, Rei?"

While I drank orange juice, Indri immediately threw a celebration.

"I-I'm ashamed, if I go to school with my cheeks covered in bandages."

I think that's a less plausible answer.

"If you are, Syila? Why not go to school?"

"That's okay, brother. I'm going back to school tomorrow."

What the fuck with that answer. I am now more convinced, with my curiosity towards both of them.

"Your answers are too weird for me. I don't care what you did yesterday. What's clear is that tomorrow you have to go back to school, don't waste the rest of your practice time."

I agree with Indri's response to both of them's answers earlier.

"Then you have to go back to school tomorrow, 'well!"

They both responded with a slow nod.

"Are you satisfied with both of them?"

I hope he answers my question with satisfaction. Because I'm no longer strong, and want to go home alone.

"All right, that's enough, Ben."

"So, I'll wait for you tomorrow, 'well!"

The two of them responded back with a nod.

"Then, let's go home, brother."

"Yeah!"

We both said goodbye and walked home.

I see, Kak Indri's face seems a little relieved, with a smile on his face.

***

Since my house is not far from Rei's house, I have finally arrived.

"Sister, this is my home. Wanna stop by?

"I-can you, Ben?"

I didn't have time to answer, suddenly the door of my house opened and a woman came out.

Apparently, the one who came out of my house was my mother.

But ... Why is Mom home? Isn't it every two months that my parents come home from work?

"Art? She who? Your boyfriend?"

Huh huh? Mom said boyfriend? Did I not hear wrong?

Maybe someone like me has a girlfriend.

"Hello Ma'am. My name is Indri, I'm Chairman of OSIS and Beni is my underclassman."

Indri instead answered him with a bow, to look polite.

"Well, I don't believe you, Ben. You have a boyfriend who's the Chairman of OSIS."

I don't understand my mother's mindset. Do I look like I fit him?

"Not Ma! She's not my boyfriend!"

Without caring for me, Mother even approached, and invited to talk with Indri.

"Mother apologize, Dek Indri. If my son is sometimes lazy to do something when he gets a job from you."

"Kok Mommy knows?"

"Hey!"

Why did Indri even agree to my mother's words? At least please deny his words and speak well of me.

"Mother obviously knows, because Beni is my son."

"How long have you been dating?"

"I told you, Mom! I'm not dating him!"

"Is that true, Indri?"

Screeched! Why does my mother seem to not believe the words of her own son?

I asked Indri again.

"Art is right, Mom. We're not dating."

"Oh, so so ...."

See, my mother trusted Indri more than her own son.

"... Then, when are you going to date?"

Heye? Why do you even ask like that? Where do you want Indri to date with me.

"Indeed Mother supports if we're dating?"

Screeched! You fucking Chief OSIS! He asked back like that.

"Of course, I would agree!"

Indri looked at me, smiling at me.

Uh! That fucking smile, it looks like it's mocking me.

"Sorry Mom, I have to go home now. Beni seems to be upset about me."

"Then I say goodbye."

Thank goodness he left. Indri left us, and walked alone.

"Hey, Beni. Sana accompany Dek Indri, it's afternoon. Aren't you worried about her situation?"

"But Mom, I've le—"

"Here you go, just drop it off!"

Finally, I relented with Mother and was forced to take Kak Indri, up the highway.
