EPISODE 23
“Udah relax, it's okay kok” I replied.
Verel then moved to pick up a book on the table and gave it to me.
“Try you read this” He said while proffering the book.
The book entitled an art to be stupid is very much the work of Mark Manson that he gave me. Even though I don't like to read, I still take the book to show respect.
“This is what book Ver?” My toot.
“This book is suitable for you. See deh, from the title of ajah we can already know that this book invites readers how to be able to live a happy life.
“Oh so you mean I'm not happy then?” I joke.
“Not that means” replied Verel hurriedly afraid I was offended and then he went back to explain about the book.
“Just from the contents of this book it will teach us 5 things about the art of being stupid very.” His speech.
“What's tuh?” Askaqua.
“The first, about happiness. Second, about the things that we should be able to ignore but we choose to focus on those things so that we spend a lot of time running from our problems rather than making peace with the problems themselves”
Verel continued to explain the book and I continued to pay attention and listen to Verel's explanation even though I didn't understand what he was saying. But I pretended as if I understood his explanation.
“Third, about how to find out what is really worth caring about and wanting. Fourth, focus on more important things and fifth, all will be fine with being bodo very!” He finished explaining the 5 things that underlie the book.
“Waduh if I explain everything, later you will not be curious again dong same book.” Continue Verel.
“Nothing really, I like to see you” I said the wrong word so that Verel was stunned.
“Hah, that means?” Ask her so I panic.
“Ma-I mean, I like the book the same! Yes it's okay if you want to clear all” I said in a hurry to answer.
“Owh. Yes already, this is take” said Verel gave the book.
It did not feel the time was getting late so that when I turned to my watch it turned out that time had shown at 5 pm. So I asked Verel to take me home.
“Aduh, I think we should go back Ver, because it's already at 5 this afternoon. Fear Melly ntar nyariin”.
“Owh you stay with Melly?” Ask Verel.
“Ehm yes so deh” My answer is short.
“Oh your pantesan often with him” said Verel who then continued his speech.
“Ya already let's take you home” Continue Verel.
So Verel took me home. But I don't want Melly to know if I walk alone with Verel and ask Verwl to drop me a little away from Melly's house.
“Stop, Stop!” I hurriedly patted Verel on the back.
Verel stopped the bike and asked:
“Why Rat?” Ask her curiously.
“I got off here ajah ya”.
“Loh why? Is Melly's house still ahead?” Ask her again confused expression.
“Udah is okay, I happen to want to print a paper on situ” Ucapku gave an excuse while pointing to the services of a printer that is nearby.
“Oh yes if so, let me temenin”, said Verel.
“No need Ver. You have come home because this already wants a night, after all Melly's house is near from here, so you don't have to worry” My answer hastily gave an excuse to Verel.
“Agh, fortunately he has gone” said me with a feeling of uneasiness when Verel was gone.
After that, I rushed back to Melly's house. So, Melly who saw me just came and rebuked:
“Rat, where are you from anyway?’ Her question seemed to worry me because I didn't come home all day.
“Oh, I had a Mel” affair, I answered trying to look relaxed. However, it seems that Melly is suspicious of me again so she asks again.
“What solution?” His question heard the glare of eyes full of suspicion in it.
“Ewh, i-it's Mel. It just so happened that the extra campus organization again wanted to hold a cadet, so I joined their thecnical meeting” Pungkasku lied.
“Hah, tumben Rat? Not that you don't like to follow me?” Ask Melly again so I was forced to lie again.
“Ehm yes at first I did not like to follow the like. But, after I thought it was important also to train the public speaking Mel”, I said, who again lied.
And fortunately Melly believed my words so much that I began to ponder when she did not ask her suspicious questions.
“Oh, yes if so. But,” Melly said.
“Other times if go kayak I told you first, let me not worry you” Ungkapnya continue.
“Iya Mel, sorry. Next time I promise to tell you first”, I replied.
In the evening, I was sitting on the sofa with Melly that even made Melly stunned when she saw me who suddenly read a book so she reprimanded:
“Tumben read the book Rat?” Ask.
“He-heh yes Mel, he said this book is good for me” I replied with a smile.
“Hah, who said?” Tanya Melly was curious.
“Aduh!” Tap me inwardly and hurriedly answer Melly's question.
“The senior words I met fitting join thecnical meeting earlier”I replied back to lie to Melly.
“Widih, great you Rat, just joined thecnical meeting already in the book ajah” said Melly did not expect.
“Not packed, but in the guarantee doang Mel” replied me.
“Iya same ajah”
“Hmmm” Melly sneezed and then went back to asking.
“By the way, your senior is cute?” She asked so curiously that I happily replied.
“People are cute, kind and caring.” I answered while thinking about Verel.
“Ya although sometimes nyebelin, but I like the same behavior it” Furthermore I smile for myself.
“You like her?” Sahut Melly again asked and I also allowed by nodding my head.
“Seriously? Who's name is Rat?” Melly was getting curious.
“Ehm there is deh” My answer makes Melly more curious.
“Ih Ratih, tell me what his name is? which one is it? Do I know the same guy?” Ask Melly again.
“Kepo deh” Said I don't want to tell.
“Please Rat, kasi know dong” said Melly still insistent on knowing who the man I meant earlier.
Of course I don't want to tell Melly because that person is Verel, if he finds out I'm going to be embarrassed and surely Melly will make fun of me so I try my best to keep it a secret to Melly.
