Turns out We're Stupid
CHAPTER 5 WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO COLLEGE?
The sky turns a reddish orange. The atmosphere feels warm. Even though the sun was setting, the light still seemed to radiate a ray of warmth to the inhabitants of the earth.
Including a girl who was sitting on the balcony of her room. Enjoy the warm light of the sunset. With a flat object in her hand, the girl so enjoyed the moment that she rarely did.
She had just finished her bath after a few hours outside. The girl decided to go to the balcony while waiting for her parents to come home from the office. Holding his phone, he read a message from Bryan that was sent a few hours ago.
Lia, I'm sorry. There is a sudden business, sorry yes I can not walk with you. Next time, I promise.
He had wanted to send an apology message to Bryan for not warning him about the cancellation of their road plan. But seeing the man's message, he undoes his intentions and replies to Bryan's message briefly.
No problems.
The ringing sound of the cell phone ripped the girl's daydream. He picked up the phone from Raffaa.
" Hallo." said Lia lazily, she pursed her lips while looking down. The Lamborghini Veneno entered the gate. Lia knew it must be papa and his mother.
" Li, Ortu Lo Uda's coming home? " Lia nodded. But the girl realized that Raffa could not see her. He laughed a little while entering the room.
" Lo why laugh? " Tanya Raffa was confused. The man is currently on the balcony of his room. Enjoy the beautiful twilight that makes the heart peaceful with all the hustle and bustle of the city.
" Em gapapa's. Yes, I am going home, just now. Why emang? " Lia kept walking out of the room, down the stairs to meet her parents.
" Gapapa, I just. What else do you think? " Lia stopped her steps in the middle of the stairs hearing a strange question from Raffa.
" I'm confused again why Lo is so strange today " replied Lia in a thin tone.
Raffa chuckles softly there, "Okay, yaudah there. bye" the call is turned off by Raffa. Lia just sighed and continued her steps to meet Mahendra and Maria.
" Assalamualaikum "Mary's gentle voice made Lia's smile expand. He approached his mother who was sitting in the middle room with her head leaning against the sofa.
" Waalaikumsalam "Lia grabbed the hand of her mother, kissed the back of the hand of the woman she loved so much and sat down beside her.
" A really Cape Bun? Where's papa? " Lia circulated her gaze, her papa figure was nowhere to be seen at all.
Maria smiled faintly, "Yes quite cape. Mother helped Papa in the office. Also attend meetings. Uda lama, so luamayan cape lah "Maria used to be Mahendra's secretary. In the past, when Mahendra was down because his company was threatened with bankruptcy, Maria came and helped Mahendra. Eventually they build a joint venture until love grows in both.
" Oh, where's papa? " Lia again spread her gaze.
" It's still ahead, again talk to Pram... " The mother and child again chatted lightly until Mahendra entered. The two married couples went upstairs while Lia went to her room.
***
Dinner was quiet, as usual when eating Lia will tell you about her daily activities. Likewise with Mary who helped chimed and Mahendra who responded to the speech of his favorite daughter.
" Mad.. " Mary held her husband's hand, shook her head softly and smiled softly for her husband to be twenty.
" I'm just asking baby "Mahendra laughed a little and then stroked his wife's hand.
" Ekhem! " Lia cleared her throat loudly, making the couple re-conscious if there was their child who was still small there.
" Papa's not too much of a problem. Papa is happy, you can solve your own problems. Next time, you need to be smarter. So that the person is not insolent " said Mahendra gently.
Lia nodded, "Yes pa "He sipped the water and wiped his mouth with a tishu.
" Oh, baby, where do you plan to go to college? " The question from her mother made Lia freeze. Can he express his ambition to study at Harvard University? But, considering her possessive father made the girl doubtful.
" Why Lia? You don't have a plan yet? soon you pass the "typical Mahendra.
" When you go to LN, what can you do? " Tanya Lia quietly, she grabbed her glass and drank it to relieve her nervousness.
Maria and Mahendra looked at each other, they both sighed softly at the wishes of their beloved daughter. Of course as parents they knew Lia's wishes very well. Since Junior High, Maria has known that Lia wants to study abroad more precisely at Harvard University. But can he grant it? Considering the association there is very different from in the country. She may have let her daughter live in an unhealthy environment.
***
The days passed, all exams were completed by High School students to achieve their graduation. Over the past few weeks, Lia and Bryan's relationship has been good. But there has not been a distant development such as courtship and the like. They are close, and nothing more. Because Mahendra is possessive of his daughter so that it limits Lia's motion to meet with Bryan.
Raffa, that guy is still the same. The relationship between the two is ordinary. There is nothing special about them because they both act like best friends.
Tomorrow is the day that Lia and her other friends will complete the exam that determines their graduation. In the next three days they will carry out the National Examination known as UN.
Lia had learned from far away. Even at night, he studied seriously. Until the time showed at half-eleven in the evening, the girl had just stopped her activities and was getting ready to go to sleep.
