When Love Comes Again
Accidentally Found It
(Classroom)
"Del," Xena's applause blew Adellia's focus on her books. He closed the book and turned the stool back.
"What's wrong?" ask Adel.
"That handsome CEO stayed overnight in your room. I saw his car in the yard till morning." Xena looked at her best friend in full view.
"Hm." Nod Adel
"What! Are you sure?" Both of his eyes were glaring. I can't believe the new words I hear.
"God .... The lips yes. Use the mosque toak all let it rame."
"It's not kidding, is it, Del?"
"No." Adellia was silent for a moment. Tidying hijab. "Indeed last night Brother Dicky stayed over. The thunder rain is incredible. Danger if he comes home with the weather."
"So?" Again, Xena was still curious.
"He's staying with Brother Yudha, really. They are friends."
"Oi .... " Xena rounded her mouth.
"You think I'm that crazy. Your lips are sadistic." Adel sewot, he understands the direction of Xena's conversation.
"Don't be angry, Beautiful. Just ask, you know," said Adel while pulling the curved line at both ends of his lips. From behind Rio came carrying two drinks and two packs of bread. Put it on the table. "Now, make a chat. Let's get cool."
"Vidiii .... This is just my dearest girlfriend. Thanks honey," said spoiled Xena.

"Don't forget tomorrow there's TO last two o'clock in the afternoon, Xen." Adellia warns Xena before they part that afternoon.
"OK ready. I'll take you to the dorm or something, Del?"
"We met in the room, Xen," replied Adel.

Adellia walked towards the outer courtyard of the school. His footsteps turned around. He abandoned his intention to return to the dorm. He walked towards the angkot stop, then boarded it. This is a quiet week. There is no harm in going for a walk for a while, just refreshing the mind before the UN a few more days.
He went around the shopping center. Spend time at his bookstore. A series of novels by the author of his idol, he took one title of the latest book. Then pay it to the cashier.
Unintentionally his eyes looked towards the glass outside the shop, a black hooded middle-aged woman walked hand in hand with a man whom he both knew very well.
His footsteps accelerated further following the two men. They headed for a food court on the 3rd floor. From a distance Adellia saw the two chatting, quite familiar. Even more than that. The man hugged the middle-aged woman. Then wipe his tears. Smacked his forehead.
"Yes, God. What's all this mean?" murmured Adel in his heart. What the hell is going on? What is their relationship? What are they doing here? the question swirled in the mind of the third grade High School girl.
Brother Dicky and ... Mamma.

(House Room)
Adel was just about to smash into his body when the door of his dorm room was knocked by someone. He got up to the door.
"Mama??!"
Yulia, her mother, stood at the door and smiled. Adel took her mother's hand and kissed the back of her hand. Stuck tightly. Then they went into the room.
"How are you, Del?" ask Yulia.
"Alhamdulillah, Mother. Adel is fine. In a few days you want UN so Adel is a bit busy, focus on UN readiness later." Adellia invited her mother in. Then get me a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank God that's it. Good luck and graduate, Del."
"Aamiin .. mama ko came here without a phone first. Tumbens." Adel's eye bead was looking for something on Yulia's eye bead. His mother only gave a smile, for Adel the smile was full of mystery. There's something he doesn't know.
"Well, you had an appointment with an old friend nearby. So stop by for a minute."
Old buddy? What old friend is mama? ask Adel in my heart. He really wanted to ask about the events he witnessed earlier. But broke it. He did not want to spoil this rare atmosphere. Understandably her mother rarely left the village, usually she or her brother who visited while on holiday.
