The Black Riding Prince

18. You Cheated!

AMI got off the angkot and walked about 50 meters from the highway to get to his house with a mouth that continues to grumble, while kicking a small stone on the road.

Arriving at the house Ami was still pouting annoyed and slammed his shopping bag on the table. The mother who had just served the buyer immediately approached her daughter.

"Lu tape? Back of mouth of the fish-rich muzzle." Ask Mom.

"Here again sprain, Mother!" Answer Ami.

"Ame ready?"

"Who else is Ardi!?"

"Kenape you spel with him? He's a baek's son."

"What okay? Aye's down on the road! Mother's most semok child is descending home on the road, Mak. Not even a home ampe! How aye ga kesel!"

"Kasian really you. Keep you coming home on foot?"

"Yes, get on the angkot! Walking time? Tar's got nyampe aye's leg house left on the road."

"Eatya, try first you nurut ama Mother to pepet keep the kinclong not be given saggy, surely you already adem dah ama him. He's baek's son, a pinter, and a rich kinclong mariner." Mom pulled out her wedge.

"Less pepet how is it aye, Mak? Aye has pepetin him many times, ampe aye follow the fasting sunah rich he let him ogled aye. But he just turned aye." Complain Ami.

"Maybe yes, Mi she's not your soul mate. Even though Mom really wants you to mate with her. Not ape-ape not shitir too, the important thing is he's a baek son. If the Ardi is, the mother kok kanya less sreg ama him." Mom Curious.

"Less sreg why, Mak?"

"About kenape. But if you look into his eyes he's rich there's something like that."

"Ah, Mommy. Rich sarini just use something."

"Just see something in his eyes. You must be ati-ati, Mi." Mother Message. "Buy what'an you?" Ask Mom who just realized there was a paper bag on the table.

"Bag, Mom."

She took the bag out of a paper bag. Mother's eyes sparkle to see a tosca colored bag that looks good and luxurious. "Good indeed, Mi."

"That's Ardi who is alyuin, actually aye does not like the color. Aye prefers the blue."

"Well, how come you bought this one? You should be the blue tuker."

"Udah aye saysin, it's Ardi who's the milihin, Mak. Aye doesn't feel good about protesting either. He paid for it, aye protested."

"Yes, if you don't like it, Mom's wearing it." Said Mother smiling widely while carrying the bag to and fro.

"IT'S A fork in the road to be my unlucky place!" Ami's Speech.

Currently, Trio Kiyut is at a meatball stall near the campus for stomach contents and confides.

"Why did it join that road?" Ask Cici.

"Yesterday I abis jalan sama Ardi, continued to return Ardi dapet chat, he said from nyokapnya tell pick up his grandmother at the airport. And he dropped me off at that fork in the road." Ami.

"Ha! Keep you coming home what'an?" Cici surprised.

"Gue was given a fare to take a taxi. But I went home to take an angkot, pretty much the rest can make you guys practice now."

"Really, really. Best is just that." Cici gave a thumbs up while Leni nodded.

Today Ami is off work and Ardi takes her to the mall where there is a counter where Ami works. While passing the counter at work, Ami stopped for a while just to say hello to Seli, her co-worker.

"Ni yee's date.." Seli Goda.

"Mba Cells can be." Ami blushed.

"Ga's known? You haven't recognized him to me yet, Mi."

"Oh yeah, forgot!" Ami patted her forehead. "Ar, know this Mba Seli memen my work. And Mba, he's Ardi."

"Your boyfriend?"

Ami only blushed, she looked down embarrassed. Ardi's phone rang, the guy picked up the phone and brought it closer to his right ear.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Ask someone who called him.

"... "

"Okay, I'm going there now." Ardi disconnected his phone. He then turned to face Ami who was still chatting with Seli. "I have to pick up Mama at her house." Tell Ardi.

"So I went home by myself again?" Ask Ami annoyed.

"Sori, Ying. I can't refuse Mama's telling." Replied Ardi with a face. "I'll go first yeah, Mama will be angry if late."

"Yes, that's it.." Ami pasrah.

Ardi leaves Ami in front of the counter where Ami works.

***

TRIO KIYUT is sitting on the campus garden chair. They were talking about their college assignments.

"My nutmeg is smoky!" Excite Cici with an essential kelebayan.

"Try the fire, I want a taro teapot to make coffee." Reply to Ami who made Cici pluck her lips.

"What do you know, Ci?" Ask Leni.

"It's no longer a fad, is it?" Ask Leni who does not believe 100 percent.

"It's a rich head stove mbleduk and you say I'm more lebay! Oh my God, please ba'im..." Rengek Ami with its special spice.

"Make you dizzy, what if we go home from college later to mall?" Leni's Proposal.

"Gue has a promise with Ardi.." Ami said regretfully.

"Well.." Leni and Cici.

"Sori..."

RETURNING HOME from college, Leni and Cici decided to still go to the mall even without Ami. They've been walking down the highway in search of shuttles.

"Big! Leni!"

The two girls looked over as their names were called. From the campus, Ami was seen running towards them.

"Gue's coming." Said Ami with a breath of excitement.

"Say you have a promise with Ardi?" Ask Leni.

"He's off!" Answer Ami ketus.

"cancel? Why?" Ask Cici.

"He said he wanted to take his grandmother to the doctor."

"Eh, Mi. Lo nyadar ga anyway? Ardi tuh often ninggalin lo if again the road together. He also often cancel road appointments with lo. You're not suspicious of that?" Ask Leni.

Ami knitted her eyebrows together, thinking hard guys. "Yes, yes, too... This is how many times he canceled road appointments. I also do not want how many times I was left on the same road again him..."

"Need investigation?" Cici raised both her eyebrows. "Don't worry! Detectives Cici and Leni, ready for action!" It is in the style of Upin Ipin.

"Emang needs to be investigated, Mi. You were not long with him. Don't-don't, he's not taking care of his family but..."

"Cheating!" Cici's exclaim cuts off Leni's speech.

Leni nodded while giving her thumb.

As agreed, Leni and Cici return as detectives to look for evidence about Ardi who often left Ami and canceled appointments. They didn't expect, if they would get proof so soon. A week!

Yes, within a week, Leni and Cici have managed to find evidence of what causes Ardi to often leave their friends on a date or even cancel the date.

But one thing that made Duo Kiyut was shocked. About who the girl is with Ardi. Leni and Cici also relay their reports as they gather at Cici's house.

"WHAT!? THE KUNTILANAK!?" Ami was surprised.

"We both saw them in the cinema with really friendly hands. Keep the kuntilanak also gendered his pal at Ardi's shoulder while the guy lo wriggling hair he who wants me to jam!" Report Cici fiery.

"Too kuntilanak am genderuwo! I want to hit them!" Ami stood up while rolling up the short-sleeved shirt she wore to resemble a sleeveless shirt.

Ami immediately went to want to hit the prince of his white horse. Leni and Cici tailed behind him. With the GPS capital of Ardi's phone, they glided to one of the cafes.

When he got off the taxi, Leni blocked Ami's hand. "Wait, Mi." Leni.

"What!?" Ask Ami who is still emotional.

"Inget, Mie. You are now not a High School girl who is still unstable. You go to college, more educated. Don't embarrass yourself in front of a lot of people. If you want to break up, decide elegantly." Leni's Advice.

"This is what I don't understand. How elegant is that?" Ami asked confusedly.

"That does not shy yourself. Enough she's just embarrassed about being cut off by a girl." Answer Leni.

"Okeh. I'll try it."

Trio Kiyut goes to the cafe. After looking right at left, they found the target in the corner of the cafe sitting tight with a girl.

"Grandmother nowadays her hair is not an item huh. His face also had no wrinkles. Cool grandma today." Said Ami behind the two lovebirds who sat adhering to.

Ardi stood up and looked back. "Eh, Yang... Ye... Uh..."

"It turns out I just found out that my guy stutters! Shame ah I got a stuttering guy. Singles mending!" Reply Ami. He then glanced at the girl standing beside Ardi. "Hi kuntilanak's... Is it good to give me?" Ami smiled mockingly.

"God! Don't carelessly talk! Ardi is my guy! We were a month ago!" Sesil Emotion. Yes, Sesil. A friend of Ami High School, remember?

"Oh, so it's been a month already?" Ami mangosteen. "Gue became the same as him two months ago. But now it's broken up. Nyantai. I love me willingly."

Ami turned to look intently at the man who two months this became the prince of his white horse.

"Yes.."

"Don't call Yang. I'm not eyang lo! I'm still young at flirting." Cut Ami.

"I can explain.."

"Ga.. Lo baek ye ama tu kuntilanak. You guys are very suitable because you look like genderuwo kolor ijo."

Ami also left the cafe followed by two of his sohibs. Ardi tries to catch up but is arrested by Sesil.

"Lo say you're single! You crocodile!" Sesil then poured his drink into Ardi's face and left.

"Hey! Sil! Sesil!"
