The Unexpected Love Journey

Ch 19's. The Past (2)

...Xix Chapter...

On the way to Yunita's apartment, after meeting Brandon in front of the school, Andre's mind still continues to think about the possibility of involvement of his parents. Because it is not a secret anymore, if there is money, everything is possible.

He also still remembers the incident last year, when he broke up with his girlfriend first due to the actions of Toni.

...***...

...Flashback 1 year ago...

That time, coincided with Andre's return from the national level Robotics race which eventually sent him to Singapore. Who would have thought, at that time, he had to accept the harsh reality that Diana, his then-girlfriend was dating Toni and decided she was unilaterally.

And even more embarrassing, photos of Diana and Tony hugging which became the beginning of the chaos of their relationship circulated in their school BBM group.

Bitter indeed, the day that should have been a happy day, turned into a bitter memory for Andre. It has also been down since that day. In fact, to disturb him when he was competing in Singapore. His team, which was originally highly uploaded, had to go home without a trophy.

In the waiting room, Andre sat on one of the chairs while bowing his head. He felt very embarrassed to see Dimas and Brandon. Because, while they were training, he had already promised to bring their team to the 1st champion as a cover for their memories at Junior High School.

As Andre was lamenting his failure as team leader. Dimas followed by Brandon behind him, came and patted Andre's shoulder; like people who try to encourage, “Have it been, it's okay, the important thing is we've also been runners up right?” dimas.

“Sorry yes, because of the cave..”.

“Aduh, stop. Some of us just do it all because of a hobby doang right? So, don’t take this lose to much, okay?” brandon cut his words.

Looking at Dimas and Brandon who were smiling widely; Andre also smiled, even though he was actually a bit forced. Because, Andre knows very well, how this race is so meaningful, not only for himself, but also for Dimas and Brandon.

For Andre, this competition can be a place to prove himself, if he is not a person who only relies on his father's big name. As for Dimas and Brandon, they often tell stories that they want to prove to their parents both, that a hobby can be a success as well.

And now, behind the smiles of his two best friends, Andre increasingly curses himself who destroys their dreams just because of his trivial love problems. After a bit of casual chatting to melt the atmosphere, the three of them then returned to the hotel alone; naturally after being allowed the builder of the place they were obliged to report whenever there was something.

Feeling that there is nothing to be proud of, Andre and Brandon and Dimas decided to return to Indonesia sooner. So, on their return to the hotel, the three of them immediately packed their clothes and belongings.

“How about we vacation to Bali first a week before entering school again?” dimas said as they were packing their clothes. The idea was greeted with a shirt that Brandon threw pointed right into Dimas's face.

“Halah, at most you just want to wash your eyes ngeliatin bule-bule doang right?” Dimas who have too often used the same way for just ‘wash the eyes’ immediately got a nagging and lecture from Brandon.

Seeing how excited the atmosphere in front of him was at the moment. Andre seemed to want to stop the time right then, so that they and especially himself can enjoy this moment a little longer.

But, Andre also realized very well that sooner or later, in the end he will face Diana and Tony who will greet him as a pair of lovers. Sick, of course. However, life will continue, the story will also be the past. People will forget about it, except for him, people who experience it directly.

...***...

After being complacent while looking for an outlet of sadness for the loss of his love story with a walk in Bali for a week. While standing in front of his school gate, he stared a bit long at the iron fence whose height might be 3 meters.

In his mind, he now considers the fence like a fence from a prison filled with people who will gossip behind him about his tragic love story. He is willing to bet that many people are happy with his love story that ended tragically, especially because he has rejected many women.

He could slightly imagine how they were clustered to gossip with a smiling face, glancing with sharp eyes. In fact, to avoid the gossipers in cyberspace, he had to leave their school BBM group.

And at a time like this, if you want to see the original colors of friends, or at least people who claim to be like that.

“Hah, tired right. Because of the kunyuk kampret that. Why try sok menggejar bule if the English language just collapsed like that?” Brandon who was usually very calm now even grumbled as soon as the two of them entered the classroom.

Apparently, Brandon has not been able to forget the actions of Dimas when they vacation in Bali yesterday. Where at that time, Dimas with his sword, because of his high posture, trying to approach some bule. But reality will not be as smooth as a dream, the words are quite right to describe how the three of them must be troubled because Dimas who always spoke wrong.

“Already, consider it a bitter life experience. Who knows, then the day he really got a boyfriend bule right?”

“Lu believe rich is that? Bullshit, as long as his English is still rich yesterday, cave ngak will believe if he gets a wife bule,”

Brandon sneered when he heard Andre's words, “Nah, that's the guy coming. Long life,” added Brandon while nodding his head.

Dimas entered the class with a stingy breath, like seeing ghosts, “lo, lo...” Dimas was like trying to say something, but it seemed like his breathing was not yet regular enough to be able to speak.

“By the obvious name you,” Brandon, from his intonation and tone sounds a little emotional. Especially considering that Brandon had also just cursed behind Dimas. So it is not too surprising that the rest of these emotions can be enlarged if Dimas misbehavior just a little.

“Ndre, Lo. Ah ngak, Lo both have to go to...” before Dimas finishes his sentence, the attention of everyone in the class is now on the person who is now at the door, Tony. Andre glimpsed Diana behind Tony's shoulders.

She and Diana had met. He could see Diana who was neither smiling nor showing any expression. For some reason, he felt that Diana's gaze was empty, there was no happiness, or any feeling that emanated.

Andre who wanted to step forward and approach Diana to confirm her conjecture, was stopped by Brandon. When he turned his head, Brandon looked at him quite seriously, “Forget her, he has betrayed us all,” Brandon said. Dimas also looks to nod slowly.
