The Turmoil of Youth

Chapter 52

Still in the dining room. The mother brought the food to the table. As soon as he placed a plate of chicken satay right in front of Melly, Melly was immediately choked. Of course Mama did not know the effect that chicken satay had on Melly. Only Melly and Tristan know.

Chicken satay is the food Melly ate on her first date with Tristan, also when Tristan asked Melly to be her boyfriend. The food was like a symbol to both of them, and that was why Melly was unable to see it at this moment, let alone to the point of having to eat it. Melly thought of Tristan and it made her sad.

Melly looked down deeply as she felt her eyes begin to heat up. "No. I can't cry here."

Melly tried her hardest to hold him back, but her tears were not contained anymore. The first drops of tears flowed, and her mother saw Melly.

"Melly?" call her mother astonished. "Why are you crying?"

Her mother's question leads her Papa and Ghevin to see Melly. Melly couldn't take it anymore. Melly stood up and ran to the room. After locking the door, he immediately slammed himself into the bed and cried as he pleased. Melly sucks. Even food can make you sad. Tristan would have laughed at him if he had known.

After all, why should Mama serve chicken satay at a time like this? So much food in this world, but his mother chose chicken satay instead.

Melly hugged the pillow bolster. Maybe he won't eat chicken satay again for the rest of his life. Although chicken satay is one of her favorite foods, if her relationship with Tristan continues to deteriorate, she promises not to touch it again.

What a silly promise, making Melly can not bear to not laugh in the middle of her crying. He thought about the incident in the dining room earlier. Ghevin could have guessed why he was crying, but Mama and Papa must have been confused. It seems that Melly must immediately find a reason that can be told to them.

*****

When Tristan enters school, his attitude towards Melly remains unchanged. In addition to refusing to talk to her, Tristan also seems to be trying to consider Melly invisible. So every time Melly tried to talk to Tristan, Melly felt like she was talking to a wall.

Melly was crying a lot. Sometimes, before going to bed, she thought of Tristan making her cry all night. Melly even cried in the bathroom. At that time Ghevin had to bang on the bathroom door because Melly used it too long. When Melly came out, Ghevin was stunned to see Melly's haphazard face.

Rani also worries about Melly. Melly often confides in him about Tristan, so he's the one who understands Melly's problems the most.

"Lo's eyes are swollen," Rani comments as Melly sits next to her in class. "Lo cry again, huh?"

Melly smiled slightly and nodded.

"Gue still needs time, Ran," Melly reasoned.

But if Rani asks how long it will take, Melly can't answer. Melly can't guess when she'll think of Tristan.

Melly also does not know why her heartbreak so severe like this. Of course, this was indeed the first time he had experienced it. But is Melly the one who's too cute or have all the girls ever been like this?

Melly wasn't even excited when it was time to go home from school. At home there is only Mama and her Papa who do not know about Tristan, and Ghevin who is still in a cold war with him. While at school, Melly can be with Rani and have a chance to see Tristan.

So, Rani even had to force Melly home when the class was empty. But Melly tried to stay on the bench hugging the bag.

"Mell, let's go home" Rani asked.

"So soon" said Melly.

"No show in a moment" Rani said. "Today I spent about an hour waiting to be in class. We were expelled all school guards. You want us to be expelled by the school guards again?"

Melly grumbled while lazily standing up. He had thought of asking Rani to spend time at his house until night.

When someone suddenly walks into their class, Melly thinks he's the school's caretaker. Melly was ready to be expelled again, but it was Vionna who entered.

"Ngapain Vionna's here?"
