The Love of Alika

Eps 43s

A small drizzle greeted the capital's morning. The weather is slightly cloudy with the air is quite cold, making anyone lazy to start the activity. The sun seemed reluctant to emit its warm rays.

Today is a long day to miss. The sky was getting cloudy and the water points that were originally only small grains now began to turn into heavier rain.

Alika woke up from her sleep which could be said to be only a short time, because it had been the last few days she could not enjoy her sleep at all. After Lian's love rejection incident, the girl prefers to stay up late while watching her movie collections.

Not as desired, Alika initially intended to watch a movie to repel her sadness, but the tears even more profusely flooded her cheeks. And again, Alika had to deal with no luck, because this morning the girl who was used to waking up that afternoon, had to be forced to open her eyes when she heard the noise outside her room.

    “It looks like it's still midnight?” he murmured as he flicked the curtains of the room window, and the sky still looked dark.

There were no signs of the red tinge from the sun that used to greet him.

    “Why is this hour so noisy?” confused muttering.

Alika instantly grabbed the clock working by her bedside. “This is still at 4.30 am, the lack of work so soon has made noisier” 

Alika intends to continue her dream, as someone outside the room starts knocking on her bedroom door.

    “Non Alika... wake up, Non! Called by my mother and father,” Mbok Min's voice sounded faint and hoarse. Probably because it was too early.

    “What's up, Mbok? Alika still wants to sleep!”

    “Ndak know, Non. Said Non Alika's mother told to wake up now. Otherwise, Non Alika wants to be left.”

Huh uh??? Left out??? Where are you going?

With a gontai step, Alika got out of her bed. The girl cursed in her heart, why everything that happened to her lately was just bad luck. Had he done something wrong, or perhaps he needed to hold some kind of ritual.

Starting from his statement of love that was rejected, to catch his girlfriend who was willing to cheat on him. I don't know, maybe at this time he needs to take himself to a psychiatrist to discuss all this misfortune.

Arriving in the family room, Alika was confused to see suitcases lined up neatly in front of her parents who were discussing with each other. What's this about??

    “Eh... Mama's child is awake? Come on, now you take a shower, then pack your things. Mama has prepared a suitcase in your room.”.

Suitcase?? Which was? There is no suitcase. Maybe these eyes are the ones that have not yet awakened.

    “Where is Alika going? Then why did Papa and Mama also prepare that suitcase? We want to move??” asked Alika who still looked confused.

    “Alika, Papa has an official duty in Yogya and Mama decides that we all go there. Holidays as you look at the family Mama who is there.” as usual, Papa explained briefly and clearly.

    “Why not talk to Alika first? If Alika has her own plans how?”

    “Honey... Mama knows you don't have any events this weekend. You see, every working day you just hide yourself in the room.” Mama gently caress the child's head just wayangnya, “Dan also Mama do not like if you constantly think of problems that only make you moody like gini.”

    “But Alika again males everywhere, Ma...”

    “Come, Honey. You must love a vacation there. The place is good. You can even live there. Later we do not need to check in the hotel, because we will stay at your grandmother's house. And that's where Mama means will make you feel at home.”

    “Iya Alika's. You can enjoy a rural-style vacation that you will not meet in Jakarta this.” this time Papa tries to help persuade Alika.

There are no signs Alika will approve her parents' plans. He was still very reluctant to leave the house. Mood and his mind were still unstable, and it would be nice if he just locked himself up all day in his room, as he always did.

But it would be boring as well if she just stayed alone with Mbok Min while Mama and her Papa went on vacation to a place that seemed much more fun.

After thinking over and over again, Alika finally nodded her head and was willing to obey her parents.

    “OK. But Alika didn't want to be there for long. Alika still has a promise to make the road with Nadia. The end of the holiday also wants a pension at Alika school,”

    “Deal! We are only in Yogya for a few days, until Papa is done with his Meeting.” Mama looks happy. But it even made Alika suspicious, especially what her mother would plan in Yogya there.
