🌲 HAPPY READING 🌲
Kenan POV's
I'm delivering Tino
to her sister's boarding house this afternoon. There was something he took from his brother. Said
taken from his parents. I parked my car in the boarding yard. Tino soon
get out of the car and approach her sister's room.
Oh, mercy.... At
next to Luthvia's room is a beautiful room isn't it? Why are there men
that again there? Oh, there's Luthvia in her room, too. I saw Tino
who talked to them. Beautiful as well of course.
Not for long
then Tino came back into my car with a bag
contains items. I don't know what stuff is in it. I
running my car out of the boarding yard. I drove the car to my kost.
Today Tino was going to stay at my boarding house because there was a task that we had to do
finish together. I happen to be in a group with Tino. So it's tonight
other friends will also come to my hostel.
I saw Tino sigh
like thinking of something. “What's bro, if there's something?”
My toot.
“Mbak Beautiful. Said
moving to the kost. But I don't know yet, where is the place.” He said with a face
annoyed.
“Terus?”
“Say to stay
same husband. Just broke up with her boyfriend. Weird right? Fantasizing is bad. Don't want to
he disappeared because of a broken heart. I'm afraid he'll kill himself.”
I laughed hearing
tino. Just had a thought from my friend.
“Malah laughs. This
serious. Earlier, Mas Arif and Mbak Luthvia also did not believe that Mbak Indah
moving to her husband's house. Well, my heartbreak.”
“Terus you want
suicide?” My toot.
“That's not it either. Kayaking
no other girl.” Said.
“Tuh sober too. Search
another girl, bro. That is one belief, Adi said. Equally sure to fall in love.”
Frankly, I don't
dare to tell Tino anything. Tino didn't know that I was the husband-to-be
Is beautiful. What if he knew that the house that was meant Beautiful was the house
us? I should have been honest. But I don't think it's time yet.
“This is the moon
what the hell, again what transfer season yak?
You want to move too, right? Where to?” When I got to my hostel, Tino commented
looking at my things that I have started to arrange neatly, so that when moving
I'll have it easier to carry it.
“Tomorrow if you move
I told you. All right, let you guys help me move.”
“Why Ken, you want
moving out? Afraid of Bella? Geez, you're so scared.”
“Haha.
your mind is the same as Adi.”I pushed his shoulder with my palm. Brain
the two of them may be just as big so what is thought is the same.
“More cost
huh uh? Can play together again dong.”
I didn't respond.
I saw that Tino wasn't really hopeful about my answer either. How is possible
will they stay at my house while it's beautiful there?

A month before the day
wedding, Beautiful phone beep. Foreign numbers are on the screen. Exquisitely
I was hesitant to take that call. But he finally lifted it
after the third call.
“Hallo.”
“Hallo... Is beautiful. This
Kenan.” Deg. Name that
called the Mother will be his life companion. Mother could talk about
about his match with Kenan before Mommy breathes
his last.
“Iya. What's up Ken?”
“Two weeks away you
asked to go home by mom. We will do the fitting of the bridal dress.”
“Iya.” Seconds.two.
detik..hening ... up to the fifteenth second Indah asked again. “Ada

“No.” Voices
phone's closed. No more greetings ‘kakak ugly’ that there is awkwardness in
between them. They talk on the phone. What if they
the two met in person.
Beautiful looking at the screen

under the banyan tree in the courtyard of his campus.
