The Heart-Bitter
The Crossroads
This morning Andri was still enjoying the morning coffee made by his wife before he left for the initial test to enter the national basketball club. Before there he will first kekampus to pick up Citra who wants to see Andri test. This time, he lied to Julia. At first he wanted to invite Julia but unexpectedly Citra first asked for it. Last night he and Julia talked about David visiting their house.
"I didn't expect him to come here Mas, I thought he didn't care about me anymore, "Julie said as she put her head on Andri's shoulder.
"He's growing up, his mindset has also changed, after all there's no way he's forgotten the blood relationship between you guys." Andri stroked Julia's hand in a friendly manner.
"I thank you and your parents for welcoming her, you big-spirited people, I love you even more!" This time Julia really teases Andri, Andri directly*******Lulia's lips with affection. But the next conversation made Andri's fur stand bristled.
"I heard he met you when you were in a college basketball competition, you didn't tell me you were in a competition." Julia's tone was ordinary, there was no tone demanding, blaming, angry or suspicious, Andri became confused to answer it.
"I was forced, they've seen me playing on the campus, they bought me basketball shoes, I refused initially, but I also can't bear if my college is a loser every year, that's why I'm often late for last week." Andri tried to answer it so that it sounded honest and ordinary.
"Other times if there's another game take me yes Mas, I used to love watching you play basketball."
"really? I've never seen you watch me, unless there's thunder playing."
"Of course I'm secretly watching you from afar, I'm glad that he's losing to you, he's silent, he doesn't talk much."
"Not much to say but a lot of action huh?" Andri seduces Julia. Julia's eyes immediately bulged and pinched Andri's hand with anxiety until she screamed in pain.
" Whether you want to believe it or not, but what Mas witnessed at that time, it was also my first experience, I could not resist under the influence of alcohol." Julia's eyelids started to glaze over. Andri immediately grabbed the sad Julia.
"I'm sorry, I was just kidding, there's no intention to offend or hurt you, let alone bring up the past, I'm sorry baby!" Andri rubbed the tears on Julia's cheek gently. Julia nodded and smiled spoiled. It stroked his bekaa pinch in the hands of the affectionate Andri Demgan. Now Julia's eyes looked at Andri spoiledly. The night ended with a special service from Julia.
Before her eyes were closed due to fatigue serving Andri's game, Julia recalled David's story. Julia knew that Andri did not tell her that she was in a basketball competition because there were other women, women who would sacrifice to buy Andri expensive basketball shoes. Andri forgets that Julia was also a rich person who knows where KW goods and where ori goods. But his determination has been unanimous to seize the love of Andri with different strategies and ways. He has endeavored and handed over this matter to the Almighty. Let the conflict that will occur is a conflict between Andri and his soul, not a conflict of speech between them. If the result turns out to be bitter for him he is ready to accept sincerely because it was from the beginning this happened because of his fault. Julia looked at Andri and hugged Andri who was asleep from behind.
Andri who turned out to have not slept enjoying Julia's embrace from behind without making a sound, his brain still wonders why Julia who clearly knows she lied to act ordinary as if she strongly believes Andri will not turn away from him. There is no such wife in a normal world. Andri felt like a child who had been caught lying but still hugged his mother.
"Is Julia preparing a surprise that will hurt her heart? Could it be that she would suddenly disappear carrying with her two children? Is it possible that David's arrival has them planned to go away from him?" She believes Julia can do it because Julia is a strong and independent woman. His restlessness and restlessness made him unable to sleep until the dawn of Adhan came.
Andri and Citra have arrived at the club's basketball building that invited him to come, after registering Andri immediately did a test. It turns out that quite a lot of people also take part in the test, most of them are still young and so excited to be selected as part of the team. Citra took the closest seat to the field watching the various kinds of tests that are being carried out by Andri.
The sun was gone when the test was over and they were both in a cafe. Andri ate voraciously while Citra only ordered snacks.
"How's the test result, is it out?" The man asked Andri.
"Not yet, the incoming announcement or not has just been announced next week via email. But we already got a direction if if we pass there will be a second test, a full month into the training camp, from there it will be decided who deserves to be on the team."
"So, the TC schedule is perfect for the semester break, but how do I do my job? During training camp we can only go home once a week. I can't take a month's leave, no company will allow it unless the company has your ancestors" Andri answered, then as if not a burden on his mind.
The image does not know whether to say or propose anything. Andri obviously refused when offered a job at his father's company. Citra also thinks there is no way Andri dares to speculate leaving his job for something uncertain. Confusion The image that was clearly visible on his face was caught in Andri's eyes.
"Haha... Don't you think of Citra, it's still a long time, we don't know what's going to happen before that time comes." The face of the image blushed red, he caught wet thinking about Andri's future. Though the person himself who lived it acted just flow, as if life was no burden.
"But I'm sure you got away, I saw you made it in all the test sessions." The image tried to blur his face to make it look ordinary.
"Wow, you're too focused on watching me,
Hahahaha.did you not see that? so many have skills and abilities that are greater than me. I've tried as much as possible earlier, whatever the results I received with a chest of air." Andri went back to eating his food. Then he asked Citra.
"I heard that you're going to have another theater show, are you going to play or just be a director this time?" Andri asked to shift the conversation about her.
"I'm in the game, now I'm still training and preparing. Why do you ask?, you don't like to watch theater, do you? You ran away that time!" The image laughed off, Andri laughed along.
"I didn't run away, I had a sudden need at the time, you also invited him suddenly right? honestly, it was my first experience watching theater, maybe not dislike, just not used to it." Andri tried to kink.
"But you're great Imagery, play theater, be a director, play basketball, and your college is almost done with no overtime."
"Haha.. So the director was also impromptu, the campus did not want to spend extra money to pay the director, finally I was encouraged by friends."
"What about the story idea, the screenplay, the script and the dialogue?" This time, I asked more seriously.
"All of us do together, that's why the show is always late, joking and hanging out." Imagra laughed off, Andri swallowed his saliva, his laughter Citra made his heart flower. Wanting to feel he silenced his laughter Citra as he often did to Julia who also had a teasing laugh.
"After graduating from college what are your plans Citra?"
"Dad has prepared me to be a successor in his company, I have started interning there since this year, it seems that I am quite comfortable and like it." The image of smiling blushed.
"Surely you like it, you like to rule, you don't want to be regulated, you like to force people, your wishes must be obeyed, you deserve to be boss." Andri laughed melted Citra.
"Damn it! Isn't there anything good you can judge me about?" Citra throws her hick face at Andri but laughs.
