The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 21 - Entering the New Age

Today a new journey begins. Melati and Ranita leave for Depok. The struggle as a student will begin soon. His heart is jumbled between joy, a burning spirit, the fear of being first away from home, and the homesick he will surely experience later.

Ranita's parents accompany her all the way to the apartment rented for Ranita and Melati. Melati's father also came to welcome at the arrival airport and took her to the apartment.

Melati's mother could not deliver because she could not leave her sisters who had entered school again. And I must be teaching again. But Melati knew her mother's heart was with her, as well as her prayers.

I promise I'll often see Melati and Ranita. Papa Ranita also promises every few months to come. After everything was ready, I returned to Jakarta. Papa mama Ranita continued the trip to Palembang. They'll look at Arnita there.

This is the end, Melati in an apartment is quite luxurious. Begin the first step towards his goal. This apartment is not very spacious, with two rooms in it. Melati laid her body on a soft and comfortable bed. Ranita was also in her room, next to the room that Melati occupied.

Melati took her HP. Open a gallery and look for photos of her family. He stopped at the picture of mom and dad. In the photo, they both smile.

"After this you should be fully independent with your life, Mel. Mom and Dad can't give you a lot of money. Just as necessary. While you're staying with Ranita, people's children are. This one side is your advantage. There is no need to pay rent, but you can live in a comfortable and clean place, also safe. On the other hand, you should be able to put yourself. Because there's a big responsibility put on your shoulders by Ranita's parents" he said.

"Whatever happens you have to stay by Ranita's side. Be gentle and patient so that he is calm, be firm when he starts to move in the wrong direction. Don't be afraid he hates you as long as you take him on the right track. For you, focus on your goals. Take good care of yourself. Remember, even though you and your mother are far away, God is always watching you and with you. So you must be sure of His help and be careful not to haphazardly take your life." Another father message.

Melati rubbed her eyes. I don't know if she suddenly cried.

"You're the family's first child. You have become a pride and role model for your brothers. Thank you, Melati." Melati also remembers her mother's message. "Your name is Melati Diandra Adinata. The name carries deep meaning. Jasmine flower symbol is pure white and holy. Father mother wishes that your heart faces life. And, after this you stay in the apartment because of the kindness of Ranita's family. Even if they want your help."

"Be mature and introspective. The hard one there. Ranita is the daughter of an able person, who may not be used to taking care of the house. Help as much as possible there. Keep the apartment clean and tidy. Prepare food for you. Do not be late and eat carelessly. Because if it hurts there's no mother there."

"You're a woman. Keep chastity. I know there's Elvan who loves you. But like you said, you don't accept it. Maybe another man will come. Be careful. The most beautiful thing for a woman is that her crown is awake until the moment your soul mate comes and deserves it. Sure in the right corridor, a wedding."

Melati took a deep breath. Mom and dad's message will be kept in his heart. He should be able to do his best. For his parents, for his younger siblings and certainly for himself.

Drr..... Shakes off his HP. Melati.

Little Sister

- Hi... How are you, Mel?

Elvans. There was a chill scooping up his chest accepting Elvan's chat.

Jasmine

- 😔

Drrrttt.... dddrrrttt.... phone? Elvan Vidcall. Melati swept her HP screen. That handsome face appeared. This is the first time they've done vidcall.

"Haii... why?" Elvan smiles.

"What kind of house do I miss?" Elvan chuckles. Melati smiled wryly. I don't know why he wanted that guy nearby. The last time he was with her that night made Melati realize there was great love waiting for her. And in his heart there was a sense of security in it.

"The school hasn't started yet. Come on, Melati. You can..." Elvan clenched his hand.

Jasmine laughed a little. Exactly Elvan called him. That guy made his heart feel better.

"Time will go by fast, Mel. Especially if you are busy. So take it easy, yeah.." comfort Elvan. "I won't look at the others either. Don't worry."

"Your cup..." Smile Melati again. This guy could make her laugh.

"Where's woman?" ask Elvan.

"In his room. Maybe take a break" replied Melati.

"OKAY. I have to go with Farel. It was, yes.." said Elvan.

"Yes." Yeah." Melati smile.

"Eagerness, Jasmine..." Then Elvan turned off the call.

Melati's thoughts were carried away again on the last night they met. Elvan is so handsome, looks so mature for a high school boy size. She said something that made Melati question her heart. Is he not interested in that guy? Or is he just not interested in her?

When Elvan pulled her and hugged her, looking at her so closely, Melati's body was inexplicably uncontrollable. Surprised but no fight. Even he still remembered Elvan's warm kiss on his forehead. Although at a glance, but able to make his heart explode unbecoming. Is he really starting to fall for Elvan? Then why is he still keeping his heart to repay Elvan's heartfelt love?

Because they are far away now? And could it be that Elvan would switch hearts if there was another girl nearby? Or could he even fall for someone else later and be afraid to hurt Elvan? Melati's mind got mixed up.

"Mails..." Ranita enters Melati's room. "Hungry." The girl sat next to Melati. Melati who fell asleep immediately sat down. He saw the clock on the wall, it was already half six in the afternoon.

"Well, until it's this hour. Come on, I'll cook first." Melati takes Ranita to the kitchen. Both to the kitchen, Melati was immediately busy with eggs and vegetables and other spices.

Ranita observes jasmine cooking. "You're good at cooking" Ranita said.

"Simple cooking. Nih, just an egg omelet is the same soup," said Melati. He put the vegetables in boiling water.

"I never learned to cook. There was an aunt who was all ready. Anything stay said. Mama also does not want me to get hassles if you need anything," Ranita told me. "Now that I realize, things like that matter we know."

"Calm down, I'll teach you. Let's get ready to be a wife and mother. Hee..." Jasmine laughed knot.

Ranita laughed. Before long the cuisine is ready and they eat it with greed. While eating while arranging what they will do to start college later.
