Past times



The meeting that took over two hours was enough to make Rea's mind become unsettled, the two parents Rea first entered the house with Papa Abhi who was holding a sleeping Zee.


“You go up and rest!” Said Mama Jenny touching Rea's arm,


“Zee we will take to the room, you need time to think now. So, don't worry about your son.” The Timpal Papa Abhi


Rea made no sound just gesturing with a nod, her feet shuffled up the stairs to her room with a blurry look, as soon as she opened the door to her bed.


The one-child woman seemed to hide her face on the knees that she bent to hug, her chest felt tightness about the events that played on her memory. A story of the past that has been clearly revealed.

Three years ago


Frenetic graduation celebration on a group of students was heard to leave the room that had been occupied by ten people including six men and four women.


Various types of food are available on long tables from heavy meals to dessert as a dessert, after struggling with the thesis and the percentage that drain the brain they can finally feel relief when the toga hat has covered the head, they can finally feel relief, square-shaped hat with corners that mean that students who have been wearing it can think rationally and see things from various points of view.


Adult thinking is important in every action, so when the education that has been lived for many years has paid off with a graduation charter in the grip that means we are also required to take advantage of all the lessons we have received well.


"What's your plan?" ask the guy who wears glasses


"I have no other plans, my family business needs a successor" replied one of them


"If I might continue my education again.” The other tukas


“Wah, is your brain not tired of thinking?”


“Tired, it's just that for me the more knowledge I get. So, the easier it will be for me to manage and think about my work.” Answer the man named Alvin


A proud look from the people who heard the man's answer. It is true that science has no limits, the more lessons we know then any work we do will feel easy to do.


“If you, Ndi?” a girl using stirrup asked Andi


Andi raises his shoulders, “Maybe it will be the same as Duta, continuing the family” business he said


“Then I want to be your secretary only, Ndi.” Tukas girl named Mutia, “Who knows our story can be like a story in a novel, from a secretary it could be, mmm” he continued blushing


“Don't delve into the distance, Mut. The story in the novel that suits me is matchmaking not falling in love with the secretary.” Said Andi sarcas, “I've been betrothed from orok” coralsnya.


Mutia hissed after turning her face in annoyance which made the ones watching their debate laugh. Andi is known to be warm but also has a spicy speech in contrast to Varest which is known to be warm but calm.


Many of the stories they discussed from mere jokes to serious things, Varest who was there only occasionally chimed in, he listened more than a voice to tell stories. Until the time before they get ready to go home a man named Rio stopped him who was about to reach


handbags.


“Rest, from earlier you were mostly silent, we also want to know your next plan” said Rio


Those there also agreed, their views focused on Varest waiting for an answer. However, the one asked did not immediately reply, Varest's eyes went around observing the inquisitive gazes of his friends after which smiled faintly.


Rio patted Varest's shoulder twice, “Well, you are indeed a relaxed person Rest, even without you asking or trying diligently everything you can get.” He said, after that walk through Varest first.


“Rest, I can come with you, no?”


Varest stopped his steps, they were already in the parking lot and only five people were left because the others had gone home first.


Varest turned to the girl who asked him earlier, the girl named Rani who was known for her beauty and gentleness. In addition, he was also known to like Varest for a long time, but because Varest was too close and did not respond to every signal shown by the girl. And so, he decided not to take matters into his hands as long as Varest did not stay away from him.


“Varest not in the same direction as you, Ran.” Rio replied before Varest could make a sound.


“I'll drive you.” Rio said as he pulled Rani's hand


The girl brushed off Rio's hands quickly and wrapped her hands around Varest's arms. Varest snapped at the sudden action of Rani making him instantly turn his head towards Rio, he realized that the expression that appeared from Rio's face was a sign of dislike.


But, once again Rio pulled Rani back until the girl grimaced in pain.


“Do not insist that the person does not want you to inter” Varest's circus on Rio which makes the man smile disdainfully.


Andi who is next to Varest chimed, “Tenang lah Yo, if Rani did ask to be escorted by Varest means the destination could be not to home but others, and maybe in the direction of”


Rio rolled his eyeballs off guard, “You don't know anything, you better shut up!” it was on Andi


“Actually what's your problem, Yo?” Varest's eyes are giddy, he doesn't like his best friend being yelled at like that.


“My problem is you, you are too meddling in my affairs with Rani”


Varest furrowed his eyebrows confused, “Don't joke, I never take care of other people's problems” he said


“Don't dodge, you said you didn't like him but never refused his request.” Point it at Rani who is standing still holding Varest's arm. “Munafik” continued.


Varest's jaw hardened, he tried to hold back the emotion he disliked the speech uttered by the man in front of him.


“I did not dodge anything, because I did not like him, I only considered him as a friend, and how I comply with his request was reasonable as long as he asked also within reasonable limits.”


Rio glancing, “Prove!” he said, “If you can prove it I will trust you. But, if you refuse means you are indeed a hypocrite” continued with a smile of disdain.


“What do you want?”


“Come we race!” challenge, “If I win, you should stay away from him”


Andi rolled her eyes lazily, after breaking the angry gaze of the two and turning to Rio, “Don't act like a unstable teenager, solving the problem in such a way is really childish. You should be able to see who is chasing here is Rani not Varest.” sarcasanya


Rani, who was called by her name, felt stupefied, she looked down speechless, until the words spoken by Varest forced her to look up with widened eyes.


“Come we do!,”


Rani Pias's face, this is an indirect statement if the man she has liked for a long time has never considered and liked the goods in the least.
