SWEET COVENANTS

The Sweet Covenant - 19. Words from the Heart

After an annoying weekend date on Saturday, Irina who is still upset with Adrian's attitude really does not want to assume the existence of Adrian all day.

"Why is this week so long over?" rutuk Irina in her heart. He was so upset every time he saw Adrian.

Like this afternoon, after finishing lunch together, Irina sat back down on the soft sofa lined up neatly in the living room. Although the television glass screen presents a variety of interesting impressions, Irina prefers to be busy with the gadget screen.

From the corner of her eyes, Irina could see Adrian approaching her and sitting sweetly on the other sofa, just as it seemed, starting to get busy with her gadget screen. Irina thinned her lips, snorting annoyedly at Adrian.

In his silence, Adrian was actually aware of Irina's indifferent attitude towards him. Adrian did not care. For Adrian, currently letting Irina for a moment enjoy her frustration is better than trying to clarify the problems created in their silence, especially if it has to comfort Irina who is certainly not Adrian's expertise. It's totally impossible.

Since last night they both came home, there was no discussion between them. Even small talk is not. Silent. It was as if they were beings from two different galaxies being trapped in the same space of time without understanding each other.

Even when they were in one car, only Adrian's silence and flat face accompanied Irina.

IT SUCKS!!!

And until noon, until this moment, there was still no talk between them, as if last night was nothing to be concerned about, passing by, as if it had never existed.

It really pissed Irina off all day.

Yes, Irina really wants to get all her grunts out, but what power Irina does not dare to start a conversation with Adrian.

Obviously, arguing with Adrian means Irina is voluntarily freefall into a pool of ferocious sharks.

Wasn't it!

More like a piranha pool! Sure is!

Irina took a deep breath, too bored fiddling with her gadget, let alone surviving in one room with Adrian. It feels there, but it's like there's nothing. Astral creatures. At least that's how Irina considers the figure of Adrian at this time.

Irina chose to leave the living room and go to her private room.

"Lighting in the room, chatting with Rian," Irina inner as she passed towards her room.

Seeing the figure of Irina who moved away, made Adrian sigh long. Irina did not know that the situation that befell her was no heavier than Adrian felt.

Adrian's feelings are more chaotic than Irina's. The end-of-school exam is in sight, demanding Adrian to focus. How does Adrian feel? Clearly more miry.

A very long-time Adrian harbors feelings of love for Irina, controlling himself waiting for the right time to state everything, looking at Irina as a fiancee unilaterally and hoping that she can immediately make Irina look at her with the same view as her.

Then the reality is that right now, Irina only sees Adrian as an annoying older sister. Knowing Irina has someone who stole her heart is enough to make Adrian almost lost his confidence. And with everything going on right now, Adrian can only ignore everything for a while. Adrian had to suppress the mixed and passionate feelings inside him.

Which man can suppress the ego, allowing the woman who should love him to be happy with another man? There aren't.

"I have to focus on the exam tomorrow. Irina, forgive me. "inner Adrian.

In the morning at school,

Unlike normal days, the school atmosphere is quieter and quieter. A notice board that had just been made suddenly read "PLEASE BE CALM, THERE IS AN EXAM" standing upright right in front of the school entrance gate.

Not many students were seen coming to school. All because today until the next week, only 12th grade students are active and must enter school to face the exam. While the students of the 10th and 11th grades are being closed for a conducive exam atmosphere.

Adrian parked his motorcycle in the school yard, opened his helmet and let out a long sigh. His eyes were fixed on the writing on the notice board he had seen when entering the school gate.

It is fitting that the notice board is placed in front of the school gate, all pairs of eyes of the 12 students who saw it including Adrian immediately realized that when they entered the gate, they had, they must be ready to pit their fate with the end-of-school exam which is the first step for them to let go of the gray white period and plunge into society later, either continue as a college student or start working to scavenge the coffers of rupiah from the sweat that is poured by their hard work.

Yes, today until the next week will be a determinant of where fate will take them.

"Seeze. I need to focus for a week. Yeah, I gotta!" adrian murmured before finally heading to the classroom where Adrian had to sit according to the plan that had been determined for him in carrying out the exam.

***

"Adrians! Adrian! "

The familiar voice of Adrian stops his steps to enter the classroom which had previously been transformed into an exam room. It was the voice of Revano, his best friend.

"We're different rooms, what should I do?" revano whine.

"Gosh, this kid's crazy. Not ashamed," rutuk Adrian.

"Go Revano, get back to your habitat!" chirps Adrian.

"What's? A habitat? You think I'm what?" pekik Revano who invited several pairs of eyes looked towards them.

"Go!" adrian chirped again coldly, hurriedly to enter the room avoiding the questionable gaze of the other disciples, he said, leaving Revano alone who then melengos away but as usual never hurt with a cold attitude Adrian.

Yes, it is natural that Revano is nicknamed the Prince of Charming whose hospitality is like an angel descending from heaven.

Overused? Might as well.

But how else, that's the nickname pinned by Revano devotees in the school that Revano was forced to accept with pleasure.

As he passed away, not a few steps, Revano paused to pat his eel slowly. Revano was too panicked to forget to give the letter sent by Senna Zain to Adrian.

The purpose of Revano himself to meet Adrian is not just to whine because they are separate rooms, but because Revano should give a letter that had been entrusted by Senna Zain to Adrian. He said, a letter to encourage Adrian.

Revano turned around to see Adrian. But finally He abandoned his intention, remembering He had to go back to his own test room immediately.

"Later on." Revano's inner back left Adrian's exam room, returned to his own exam room.

Yes, there is a silver lining that the letter was not delivered to Adrian. Because, it is certainly not giving encouragement to Adrian, but only a trigger for Adrian's annoyance. Luckily Revano forgot about it.

Oh, Senna Zain's. What a stubborn woman. His obsession with Adrian was overrated. Senna could not accept rejection, as a beautiful woman and became the idol of almost all male students in school made him too confident that he would be able to conquer men like Adrian. Might?

Time goes by so fast and today's test is over. All the students who took the exam felt some relief for a moment considering they had been fighting for two hours with all the series of questions that made them think hard, brain-twist, and even make drama.

Although they all knew there was still a test for tomorrow and beyond that awaited them, at least today's test was over. Resignedly. Relieved.

Adrian came out of the exam room with a flat, cold face. There was no face full of drama like his friends as if the test he had just faced was just the wind. An intelligent student like Adrian is unquestionable.

"Sail!"

Adrian felt someone pat him on the shoulder when he reached the motor park to get home. Adrian turned around and saw the figure of Revano had been standing behind him by putting on his friendly face. A little display of a changeable smile that made Adrian upset.

"What's your angel's face for?" chirps Adrian who was then busy wearing his helmet.

"What face? My face is like this, is it wrong if I'm handsome?" chirps Revano full of confidence.

"That's it, what's up?" adrian's chirps ignore Revano's ridiculous behavior.

"Aaah, this morning I forgot to convey my trust," said Revano cheerfully.

Adrian scrunched his forehead. He remembered the last time Revano said he wanted to convey the mandate of reality is just a message that was not expected Adrian, not something important and not something that could please Adrian. The message from Senna, that's what Adrian remembers

"Awhile... Wait," Revano then reached into his bag. Looking for something that almost made Adrian lost his patience.

"important?" chirps Adrian is getting upset.

"Wait on! Ah... Here goes!" Revano showed him a piece of mail he managed to retrieve from inside the bag cheerfully.

Adrian again scrunched his forehead and started squinting his eyes at Revano with a probing look.

"Letter?" ask Adrian wonder.

"Yes, this is a letter from Senna Zain. He left it to me this morning, he said to encourage you. So. I forgot to give it to you when I met you in front of the exam room." said Revano at length regardless of the look of Adrian's face that increasingly looks furious.

"Revano, you know that I don't really care" Adrian chirped in a cold manner.

"Don't help her anymore" he continued.

Revano showed a face unconcerned by Adrian's words, inserting a conscious letter into Adrian's pocket. No matter Adrian to accept it or not.

"My task is done." chirped Revano then left Adrian to go to his own bike and immediately went home.

"Basic!" rutuk Adrian in his heart.

Adrian knows, whatever Revano does should be for the good of Adrian. One day Revano once said that Adrian occasionally had to be in a relationship with a girlfriend, having a boyfriend.

After all, very many women are competing to be Adrian's girlfriend. The love letters that continue to flow for Adrian is proof of how the popularity of Adrian in school can not be underestimated.

But Adrian did not flinch at all.

At this time, Adrian can guess how much Revano wants to make Adrian accept Senna Zain. Yes, this is Senna Zain. Women who should not be looked at one eye and certainly deserve side by side with Adrian.

And that's exactly what Revano had in mind. Adrian really can guess the way of mind Revano, his best friend.

"Maybe I'll have to tell Revano everything later" Adrian said.

The Domino Family residence,

Adrian threw his body on the living room sofa after finally being able to reach his home from a tiring trip home from school.

Adrian felt like relaxing for a moment before he went to his room. His body and mind were tired. Even though the time he spent at school today was only two hours, facing the final exams of school was very draining.

Marinka, his mother who saw Adrian sitting with a tired face in the living room immediately approached him. A glass of fresh cold drink in the form of orange syrup with some ice cubes also brought by Marinka to be served to Adrian.

"Drink first, Adrian. The weather outside is very hot, you must be thirsty, right? marinka said softly and put the cold drink she brought on the table right in front of Adrian.

Adrian immediately grabbed the glass in front of him and gulped down the water in the glass until it was gone. Adrian was very thirsty.

The refreshing cold drink managed to cool Adrian's throat that felt dry also cool the heart and conscious mind so it feels hotter than the weather out there.

Along the way home, Adrian continues to think about Irina, there is a confusion that upsets Adrian where Adrian increasingly does not know how to behave in front of Irina. Adrian is getting tired of the drama of Irina and Rian's lovers, it feels so sick! So distracting!

However, Adrian is also unlikely to suddenly boast impulsively showing jealousy, claiming to be engaged and more importantly Adrian is not likely to force the feeling of Irina to accept it. No way!

"I have to how?" inner Adrian.

Tired and tired make Adrian feel unable to think well. His whole feelings began to flare up, almost defeating the logic that Adrian held in high regard for every problem he faced.

"Curtain! The feeling game is so sickening!" rutuk Adrian in his heart.

"Adrian.." said Marinka, his mother, still with a soft tone and made Adrian aware of his daydream.

"Yes, Mother?" adrian sahut after finally separated from his reverie.

"You why? I can see from your face that you're in trouble, maybe something really heavy," Marinka said, staring fixedly at Adrian.

"What's wrong? Tell me." he continued, waiting for Adrian to respond to his offer.

Marinka knows, it is not easy to invite Adrian to talk from heart to heart. Adrian is very rigid when talking about feelings.Although Marinka realizes with certainty that Adrian is not the problem of the test or the continuation of his fate after graduating from the current High School.

It must be about Irina.

Marinka can understand even very salute with Adrian at his age who should still be labile and impulsive, Adrian still able to hold all ego see Irina who with her song dance on the suffering of Adrian. Cruel.

"Mother, it looks like Adrian will take a break in the room. Thanks for worrying about Adrian, Mom. Adrian was just tired" said Adrian, politely and then went up to his private room after getting approval from Marinka to leave him alone in the living room.

"Oh, Adrian.." Marinka's mind while putting one palm on her chest when looking at the figure of Adrian who went behind her until lost from sight.

***

Irina had just come out of her room because she was tired of relaxing all day. When closing the door of his room, Adrian appeared who passed by without greeting Irina in the slightest, straight ahead as if Irina was not there.

While Irina, even though she realized that her brother was very tired after facing the test, she, no matter what wind blows over Irina until suddenly she called her brother with the intention of clarifying all the events that occurred in the cinema at the weekend.

"Sister!" call Irina boldly and approach Adrian immediately.

"Hmm...?" adrian had just reached the door handle to open it but was held back by Irina's call.

"Sister, we have to talk." said Irina again firmly.

Adrian knows exactly what Irina wants to talk about. Tired and annoyed already too piled up in Adrian until Adrian chose to dominate the conversation.

"Listen, if you just want to take issue with what's happening in the movies. It's better to break your intention" Adrian chirped all the sentences Irina wanted to say.

Irina gulped, starting to feel the intimidating aura of Adrian. Regret begins to spread in Irina's body, inevitably Irina must be ready to accept the consequences of disturbing humans like Adrian.

"I told you, don't date. Better start thinking about ending your relationship with Rian because it won't likely end well. No way," Adrian said his sentence firmly and with emphasis that made Irina even more unable to speak up.

"Look, don't bother me. I want to focus on my exam. Youunderstand? Don't make trouble especially the sickening pair of lovers drama between you and Rian."

After being satisfied with his words that poke and represent all the rambles that raged in his chest, Adrian immediately entered his room, ignoring Irina just like that who was silently staring in disbelief with all of Adrian's words.

"FOUL!" rutuk Irina in her heart, the feeling of sadness quietly began to creep up and creep into her heart.

Irina ran towards her room, just wanting to cry and complain to the silence inside her room.
