The Love Traces of RAHWANA
Ravana 9.
Going home from school, I didn't go home. Except to the cost first. There, there are Billi, Rijun and Tino.
“Did Mr Katman scold you all out?” Ask Billi.
I'm nodding. No energy to answer.
“Lajar Mr. Katman scolded you all out. How dare you leave while you're in law?” Rijun.
I'm not sad because I was angry with Mr. Katman. Except for the Kuara. I have to see him tomorrow at the college.
I don't bully my friends who are mocking me. I was trying to call Kuara but the girl wouldn't pick her up. And on my 11th call, I suddenly couldn't reach him anymore. Looks like Kuara blocked my number.
Gosh darn. It's getting me more frustrated.
“You are why? Your face is so moody?”
“No.” I don't want to tell them about my love. Because they can never help with this.
When my phone rang again, I quickly saw it. Hope it's a phone from Kuara. And I was again disappointed when I saw the name of the mother who actually appeared on the screen.
“Ya, Ma?”
“You're on kos?”
“Iya. With friends.”
“Go home. Take Mama to mall.”
“Take it Maiga.”
“Mai hasn't come home yet. She said there was a group study at her friend's house.”
And I, can't argue anymore. “Good. I'll be home soon.” I'll take my bag immediately.
“You're going home?” Ask Rijun.
I just nodded. “Do not forget to lock the door.”
I immediately drove my motorcycle home. At home, my mom was ready and waiting for me.
“Have lunch?” Ask mama.
“But.”
“Quick change your clothes. Lunch first, only after that we go.”
Lunch and change clothes. That took a long time. I want to take my mom and go home and rest. Today, I have no desire to do anything.
“I'll just change. Mama wait a minute.”
“Lunch on?”
“I'm not hungry.”
After changing clothes, I approached my mother. There was a driver and my mom asked me to drive her.
I try to focus on driving the car. Even though half my brain is thinking of the estuary.
“Why shut up? Any problems?” Ask mama.
“No. Just tired.”
“Aduh, Mama's son was tired apparently. Sorry yeah. Must drop off Mama again.”
“It's okay.”
I brought the car into the basement parking of a shopping center on Jogja-Solo street.
“Tante!”
I saw Elya who was waving to mama. Why should I meet him now.
“Why is he here?” I'm upset.
“It's okay if Elya accompanies us?”
“If Mama intends to invite Elya, why should you invite me too?”
“Sstt.” Mama nudged my arm when Elya was with us.
Lucky for Elya, she has all the support she needs to get me back to her. Mom and Dad loved it.
“Hai beautiful. Long wait?”
Elya. “Numbered, Aunt. Just one hour.”
I just want to go from there. But if I leave, my mom will be angry. I don't want to declare war on my mom while my mind still has to focus on Kuara.
It had been over an hour that I accompanied these two women around. Buy clothes, bags, shoes, even food.
I glanced sharply at my mom. Watching again?
And finally, I kept escorting them to the movies. Mom even told me to buy her tickets.
In the cinema, my mom forced me to sit next to Elya. Actually I already know the purpose of my mother by taking Elya with us.
Elya must have complained and asked mama to help him. I understand her attitude very well.
I have grunted many times because Elya kept holding my arm very tightly. Which in the end I just let her hug my arm as much as the entire screening.
“You guys looked very compatible.” Mama said when we got out of the cinema that made me feel upset.
I pulled my hand from Elya's arms by force. I might have hurt his hand a little.
“Awan?” Elya put on a face.
“Nak, how rude is that? Pity Elya his hand became sick.”
“Ma, still want to shop? I want to go home. Capek.”
“But I still want to take a walk with you, Awan.”
“Then you can continue with both. I'll go home first. I'll have Mas Yusman pick up Mama.” My firmness. My patience is on the edge.
I know I crossed the line tonight. I shouldn't be so rude to my mom. But I really need a break now. The disappointed look of Kuara constantly lingered in my head. Making my head turn half dead.
“Awan? How so?”
“Ma, I'm really tired.”
Mom was silent and just looked at me deeply. He sighed then nodded.
“Ya already, we go home now.”
“Cock home, Aunt?”
“Elya dear, sorry yes. The clouds are really tired. Next time, we go for a walk again, huh?” Mama tried to seduce Elya.
I'm really caught off guard with Elya. He kept bothering me without knowing when to stop.
“Ya already.” Elya put on a disappointed face.
Finally my mom and I went home.
“You're why, son? Not usually your attitude is like this?”
I who was trying to focus on the highway just turned to mama for a moment.
“Ma, stop obeying Elya's will. We broke up months ago. I don't want to go back to her.”
“Elya says you still love her so you're so angry and can't forgive her.”
Me? Love her so much? Just be right.
“Our relationship is over, Ma. And so is my feeling. I really don't want to go back to her.”
“Didn't you still love each other? Why don't you want to go back to her?”
“Color I don't love him. My feelings for him are over. There's nothing left. Ma, I am currently liking another girl. Please don't urge me to come back with Elya again.”
“Really? Who's the girl? When did you introduce her to Mama?”
“Later, when I have managed to get his heart, I will take him to meet with Mama.”
“So you haven't succeeded? Jesus, Ravana. Don't be slow so.”
I heard Mama has moved on from Elya. I was relieved to hear it.
My mind is still divided. Even after I got home, I still had to accept the nagging from papa again.
“Papa heard today you were punished? Bolos?”
Jesus, it turns out Mr. Katman told papa.
“Not, Pa. We're not ditching. My friend was late and I helped her up through the back wall of the school. Mr. Katman was the wrong one.”
“Truely so?”
I pulled myself off the couch. I left my mom and dad and went into my room. I know you never doubted my answer. I never lied to my parents.
While lying down, I looked at Kuara's mobile number. Tried to contact him and remained unable to connect.
Ah.....
How can I apologize to him if my number was blocked? I think I won, I had to see him. If he wants to see me or not, I'll know when he tries.
