The Sun Becomes a Star

We're facing

Wednesday at six in the evening I was in front of Kevin's house. It is no mistake that this is his home. I read once again the address Kevin gave me. Kak Kevin's house is in one of the elite areas in the city of Malang. The gate was big and I felt small in front of him.

In the courtyard of the house I also saw Peugeot Kevin sweetly parked in addition to several other cars. Papa works hard day and night, one car only he doesn't have. But Kevin's brother? His car is lined up – jerer.

I pressed the button in the house and soon someone came to open the door. A middle-aged mother in very simple clothes. He smiled politely, and I smiled politely.

“Mbak May?”

“Betul Bu”

“Have awaited Mas Kevin in the living room.” Can you imagine a guy you're expecting you guys ?! I followed the mother into the main door to the living room. This house is a big house. The furniture is beautiful and everything looks expensive. A large crystal lamp hung in the sky – sky. Some of the paintings are perched sweetly inside the black color frame. While walking I was busy thinking about what I would say to him later. Maybe the phrase – such smart expressions;

“Your house is good. The classic style that you are carrying is very representative of your personality,” Wikksss, just hearing it makes me want to vomit. Not very compatible with my personality. Or else I'll say hello to him like this,

“Good afternoon Brother Kevin, I can't wait to meet your sister,” maybe that's more reasonable.

More inside I saw Kevin sitting while reading the newspaper and immediately standing reaching out to me. I welcomed her hand and felt the coolness running through my body. Until – until I feel my cheeks blushing.

“Not hard khan find his house ?”

“If the house is small it must be difficult to find the house Kak.” The sentence I prepared just now did not cross my mind at all. Arrive – just arrived everything is gone.

Kevin's brother smiled. “You can just May. Sit down May.”

I sat down on one of the sofas Kevin pointed to. This sofa is very soft, soft. I feel like I can get mired in another world while sitting down because it's so soft. Maybe now Brother Kevin only sees the tip of my hair because my whole body feels sloshing in this super soft sofa.

“I have to tell you that maybe you will encounter some difficulties with my sister. But don't worry because he's actually a kind, gentle-hearted kid. Just relax then everything will go well,” said Brother Kevin. But I actually feel a bit worried in the way he talks. He speaks too heart – hearts, like something is hidden.

“Ah okay – what Brother. I used to give lessons to people of different characters. There must be no problem” I said to look smart and mature in front of Kevin. At least, that's what I thought in my mind. She should see me as a confident adult who can be a life companion. Eyyaaa….

“I drive to his room now well May” Brother Kevin stands and I follow. Walk through the dining room towards a staircase with an iron handle that is given black with a golden combination. Makes it look solid. This house is huge. The area of my entire house feels nothing – what compared to the living room. Again, I feel very small here.

“This is his room. I told him you were coming today. Please come in,” then Brother Kevin walks away from me. How could he not introduce me first to his sister so that the atmosphere would not be stiff? Feels weird. The eyes of the mother who opened the fence earlier also I think strange. As if – would his eyes were about to say;

‘what a shame this girl.’

But the Sun does not give up easily. Everything has to be tried first. Moreover, this is just a feeling that is not necessarily true. I stuck my ear on the door of the room and I heard the sound of music that seemed to be playing hard – loud. After a few knocks and a little bang, I heard a voice from inside. The voice slowly sank with this very disturbing music sound.

“Log !!!” very rude.not good to hear the ears and make me a little tiptoed. Slightly doubtful – doubt but I round my heart. I can't let down Kevin. I have to face whatever is in front of me. I held the door handle and I opened the brown door.

“Who are you ?” He asked ketus.

“What?” I can't hear clearly what he's saying.

That guy, Brother Kevin's brother, wears shorts and singlets there.it seems like the cold air of ac does not make him cold. I'll tie my jacket.

“Who are you?” he asked me harder and I understood.

“I May. Suns. I'll be your private English teacher. Can I turn off the music?” my word points to – pointing to the player who is there. He took the remote and he turned off the music. I breathe a sigh of relief.  

“Oh so you'll teach me English?.” He looked at me for a while, from the feet to the head.

“You've been abroad? Have you ever studied abroad?” he asked ketus. I already feel bad. I hold – just hold my feelings. I have to finish my work here, then quickly – quickly go. I promised Kevin anyway.

“Not yet. I've never been abroad. But I've ...” I haven't had time to finish my sentence he immediately cut off, he said,

“My brother said you were smart enough. But how can you be smart English if you have never been abroad,” he said coldly.

“I love watching English shows. If there are Caucasians I also try to chat with them,” I try to be patient.

“Watch not to experience directly? Bule – bule it pity same time you. English belepotan also if bule come here must be understood,” he jumped on his mattress and then began to open –J open HPnya like I was not there.

“So I suggest you don't waste – wasting your time here because I don't need people at all – people like you.” he said as if – would be angry at something.

“Sorry ?” I tried to ask again what that meant. He has insulted me a lot. This is the last chance for him before I properly – exploded here.

“No I thought my brother was right – really wrong choose people. Besides being stupid, you also have a hearing loss. I can accept someone like you as my teacher. I know the easy way. Let's just say you've done your job, get your money off my feet, and get the hell out of here. Easy right?” said – said it was light. As if – would've said that often. He stood up, looking me right in my eyes. Like angry people and like people who challenge fighting. But my heart was pierced and I was not a very patient person. We faced each other, looking at each other. May is not a weak person.
