The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 29 Love Or Escape

I was angry with Arya. I don't know why I always wanted to meet him. Every day I wish he had come to the stall for breakfast or lunch.

If not I'll go look for her office. I don't care about the astonished looks of the people around the office

I had breakfast this morning and I just finished eating.

" If you're done continuing to shop, Ra, mumpung again no one. " Mom told me as usual. It's 10 in the morning

" Yes Buk" I said.

I finished my breakfast and took the money in the drawer. At this hour we can only have breakfast because the crowds are between 7 am to 9.00 more. I sipped my warm tea and got out.

It's Saturday, Arya doesn't eat breakfast here. The idea of playing to his house. I hastened my way to the market to Sumi's kiosk.

" Titip first yes Ma'am later I will be here again," my message.

" Where are you going in such a hurry ? usually talk first." Mother Sumi rebuked me.

" There is Mbaaak ! " i blinked my eyes at him.

" Care back, I said mom ! " Mom Sumi laughed teasingly at me. I quickly left him.

Arriving at Arya's house the door was closed.

Tok tok ! Kukekuk. Before long appeared Arya with a tangled face and messy hair. Must have just woken up.

He was surprised to see me in front of him.

" aira ? yuk in ! " Arya opened the door wide and I came in.

" I'm not disturbing ? I think you're still sleepy, "just ask me before you sit down

" It's still sleepy, but because that comes the angel sleepy so lost he he he. " It even teased me.

" Huuu.

" Yes, you've sat down first, I'm going to take a shower."

I sat down and he turned inside. Looking around the room, I saw family photos on the table in the corner. There are also abstract paintings mounted on the wall. This room is almost like a gallery.

10 Minutes later Arya appeared with a fresh face. The smell of soap came from his body.

" You came here, it's a holiday stall again huh? " tanyanya later.

" Open up, here I am again shopping keep stopping by here. Coincidentally this hour is already a bit quiet, it will be crowded again at lunchtime, ", I explained.

" Do you like to paint ? there are so many paintings on display." I'm connecting the conversation again.

" Not me but my brother. He likes to paint abstracts and also paint photographs of faces. You can if you want to be painted, just love a close up photo to my brother. "

" Next time, if I want to call you, I'll call you" I said. " Where is your brother now ? " continued.

" He lives with his wife, still in this town too." Arya told me about her family She still has another brother working out of town. While his mother every day selling groceries in the rural market.

" Where do you work? " many more. Arya said her father was dead. I'm sorry to ask this too.

It didn't feel like we were talking for nearly half an hour. This time I did not want to run away like that.

" It's noon, I have to grab some groceries at the market. You may get angry if I over time, "I said as I stood up.

" Why rush anyway ? just talked for a moment. " Arya said and approached me. Holding my hand. Realizing if we were just the two of us I let go of his hand and immediately left his house. I was in such a hurry that I didn't see any cats passing by.

Meoong ! the cat meowed because I hit it.

I speeded up my steps to take the groceries at the kiosk mbak Sumi.

" Why is Aira ? the feeling was that when he went out laughing, "reproved Sumi was astonished.

" Don't pa pa Ma'am, I just met a crazy person so I got scared and ran." I answered while thrusting the fifties. Breathe a little more to be stable. You can be suspicious if I go back to the stall with boredom. Sumi's mother handed her change and I went straight back to the stall.

Arriving at the stall I drank water to restore my strength. Mother and mother Sri are not suspicious because I often chat at the kiosk mbak Sumi when shopping.

Crickets ! The phone I put in the room sounded. Arya sent a message.

[Thank you for stopping by my house 😊. Tomorrow come here again dong but do not rush to go 😉✌]

[Thank you for being a good host 😊🙏 ]

That's my only reply. I reluctantly continued to worry that mom was reprimanding me.

_______

As time went on, I never met Niko. He's been up in 3rd grade High School.

While Rio last heard the news he joined his uncle working in Jakarta. Eva's been getting busy with college, but I still have frequent contacts via WhatApp.

The loss of close friends made me feel like the one who suffered the most. Moreover, previously had been disappointed because he could not continue college. I was so sick of my surroundings. What I do makes me happy I live. No matter what anyone else says.

And right now the one who makes me happy is Arya.

[Tomorrow to my house ]

" Arya's got a Buk? " my question when I arrived at Arya's house and the one who opened the door turned out to be her mother.

" Aryaaa ! someone is looking for it ! " shouted Arya's mother. Without answering my question he immediately called his son and went back in.

Arya came out while rubbing her eyes. I went in and sat down without being told to. Arya sat beside me, holding my hand.

" How come Saiful is never seen? My necklace was really run away with him." I opened the conversation.

" It's just now, it's a habit of him to borrow goods but not returned 'but the goods are out of nowhere." Arya also told the habits of Ipul s*al*n it.

Huuh ! because he lost the necklace I also lost the one who gave, Niko. It hurts to remember that.

Ah already ! What matters now is that Arya will accompany me. Even if I have to see him.

After chatting with him, I returned to the shop.

" Where are you from ? " ask mom as soon as I get to the stall.

" From shopping dong Buk," I replied carefully.

" No need to lie, just now Sri came out to buy a pulse and saw you walking towards the back of the market. What are you going to do there ? " ask mom streak.

Yach ! Finally found out too. But I do not blame Sri who has complained to mother.

" You're dating Arya, aren't you ? every time he eats here you must approach him and keep talking whispers. Don't think you don't know, you were young too. " I can't deny my mother's words.

Lucky there was a buyer coming in so mom stopped lecturing me. At least temporarily because it will usually continue later. I'm coming out to serve the buyer.

And sure enough, when the buyer is on the exit mom is back talking.

" Kok's girlfriend is even a woman. If it's serious tell him to go home, like you used to be the same Widi. " Mom reminded Widi.

" After all, he will still be an honorary employee, you will not be able to buy powder, lipstick, clothes."

" Where do you know she's still honorary? I don't want to ask anything from him either. We're just friends." I gave my mother an excuse.

" Of course I know because I know the employees of this market office. Which is honorary which ASN mom knows." I spoke confidently.

I just kept quiet because it was useless to answer her.Mom always felt right.

I myself also do not know the Aryan staffing status because my mind is not that far. I'm not a matre girl.

_______

Even though mother had reprimanded me but I still often played to Arya's place. I don't know why I can't just meet him for a day. I also wonder why I like him. Likes means love.

Do I really love Arya ? Or is this just my impingement for parting with Niko ?

But the more I came here I thought, the more I chased him. Now he rarely sees me in a shop until I have to check him out in his office. If it's a holiday, I have to go to her house.

Like this morning, I was already in the living room of Arya's house.

" Tumben has taken a shower, "my chirps saw it that looked fresh.

" Yes going out, Saiful asked for a shoe company" he said. He also sat next to me. He held my hand and he put it on his cheek. A moment later he brought his face closer to mine.

" What the hell do you want ? " I turned my face to the side to be away from his face

" Why, can't ya ? it's just cheeks. " He persuaded me.

" No ! not yet, "my answer was firm while shaking my head. " Today cheek, tomorrow you ask for another, "more.

Arya was stunned by my words.

" If you're serious, go to my house once in a while, I'm not the only one to see you" I asked later.

" I'm not ready yet." He said slowly. What does it mean not ready ?

" Why not ready ? I didn't ask you to propose to me." I asked.

" Anything is not ready. Never mind, we're just like this. If you miss the same I just come here or to the office. Nor can I spend every single day in your mother's shop, wasting her name. " He spoke casually.

" You don't have to snack if you intend to see me. " Arya is not flirting. He still insisted he was not ready to go to my house . But then he replied, "When can I. "

Hearing Arya's statement discouraged me from continuing the conversation. I got out of my chair and walked away without saying anything.

I am disappointed with his attitude. And ooh ! He didn't call let alone chase me. I hastened my steps.

I didn't think it out. From the beginning it was clear that he was approaching me with his persuasion I wanted to play at his house even though he was secretly.

But it turns out he doesn't seriously like me even though I already like him.
