Yashinta (My brother-in-law My love)

Toxic Relationships

Yashinta immediately laid her body on the bed as soon as she arrived in the room. His eyes were staring at the ceiling of the room while his head was thinking about what today happened to him.

Fully Yashinta considered Saras' feelings. However, he does not want to be selfish and think about himself even though he is a victim. Moreover, what Gibran said was enough to move his heart to believe himself if he had to be truly airy, make peace with the situation and forgive all the things that hurt him.

Yashinta knew it would be very selfish of him if he kept making Saras feel guilty about him. Yashinta doesn't want to be evil. Even when trying to calm his feelings, he was even more hurt considering what Saras and Kafka did to him.

As usual, Yashinta enjoyed her break to eat in the cafeteria. But he did not expect that afternoon the cafeteria was so full that there was no empty table for him.

Except the table Kafka and his friends–Aris and Sean occupied. At first Yashinta will return to class, but Ranti has sat down to join them there and Yashinta can not dwell, especially when Aris forced her.

Yashinta felt awkward, but she kept trying to calm down and ignored Kafka's presence. Same with that man who was indifferent to his presence. While Ranti does not care, for her the relationship of Kafka and Yashinta is over so there is nothing to worry about. Two of them are under his supervision.

"Eat what, Yas?" asked Sean who was about to get up to order a meal.

"Mie Meatballs, Sean." he said.

Sean nodded his head, Ranti who did not get any questions then got up from sitting down to order her own meal. Sean asked first.

"Loe what do you want to eat? Let me take care of you." said the man, Aris just watched, then indifferently with a shrug.

Ranti who was already in a half-standing position then sat back down. "Just as rich as Yashinta" he replied, who got a nod of his head from Sean.

"Gue is also a penny, well, Se. Add a bowl of meatballs." Aris said, Sean did not care, still went to the cafeteria mother. Leaves a strange atmosphere on his desk.

Kafka was busy with his world, playing games with his occasional snack available on the table, the man seemed not to be bothered in the slightest by the presence of Yashinta who was currently just sitting there quietly.

Aris who felt uncomfortable when the awkward atmosphere was created when the two people were in the same place then chose to open the sound.

"Where does Yas feel free from toxic relationships?" questions that the man should not have asked. Kafka momentarily fell silent at the question, his heart half cursing Aris, at a glance he looked at Yashinta then continued his game.

Aris raised her eyebrows as Yashinta just kept quiet with an awkward smile, Ranti who was originally staring at Yashinta to wait for the girl's answer also chose to turn her attention in the other direction when sure Yashinta would not say anything.

Before long, Sean returned with two bowls of meatball noodles followed by the canteen's mother who brought the rest of the order. Apparently Sean also ordered meatballs for Aris. "So sweet." Aris was amazed at Sean.

"Thank you, Sean." said Yashinta when Sean put his meatball noodles. Sean nodded with a smile then they started eating.

Kafka in his place is still cool with his world, he will leave soon but is still waiting for the right time to rise.

Yashinta who had tasted the sauce of her meatball noodles pulled the phone out of her uniform pocket as the thin object clinked, signaling if a message came in.

New Mama

Honey, we'll see you at school, Dad.

"Loe's coming home to pick up the driver?" sean asked, his eyes pointing at Yashinta. Yashinta looked up, knowing that if Sean asked her he shook his head. Then save his phone again.

"Just bring the car." replied the girl.

"Mama ngajakin we join the fittings of clothes." said Sean, Yashinta nodded his head understandingly. "So Mama also sent a chat to Yas."

"Well, did Sean keep living in Yas's car at school?" ask the girl later.

"Loe take it home, change clothes first. I'll pick you up, I'll have to go back, too." Sean also had to change clothes. He felt quite confident that going with his mother would take a long time, making it impossible for him to keep wearing his school uniform.

"Judah if that is it." Sean nodded, then continued eating.

"Udah immediately called 'Mama' aja, nih. Yas?" Aris teased, the girl smiled shyly and nodded her head. Sean and Ranti smiled.

As Yashinta coolly continued eating, Kafka silently looked at the girl. He admitted, Yashinta's aura was much more radiant after breaking up from him.

Kafka put his phone in his uniform pocket after being satisfied playing games, he then got up from sitting because it felt the time was right for him to leave. Make the others look at him. "Where is Ka?" Aris asked.

"Go back to class first." Kafka said as it passed. Leaving his friends there. Aris turned to the girl beside him. Honestly, he wondered how Yashinta felt about Kafka after what Kafka had done to her.

So he dared to ask.

"Loe doesn't feel like Kafka anymore, does Yas?" Aris just wants to make sure that Yashinta isn't too innocent to keep loving Kafka after Kafka's painful act.

The man was indeed his best friend, but Aris did not support Kafka's arbitrary actions on Yashinta at all.

"Don't tell me you still like Kafka!" threaten Aris with a high tone and enough to make Yashinta surprised. Even Ranti who was cool to eat had to cough due to choking, lucky, Sean quickly thrust a bottle of mineral water at her.

"Arise what, anyway." Yashinta dodged the question.

"Yes, loe's beautiful. There are still many who want the same loe and there are still many humans who are much better than Kafka." Aris, fiery.

"Yes. Yas knows,"

"So you feel the same way Kafka does."

"Emang has it."

"Don't you like Kafka?" Aris looks crisp, it seems that if Kafka is there, at least Aris will feel the sauce of meatball noodles landing on his face.

Yashinta chose to nod her head. Aris smiled excitedly, while Sean and Ranti just shook their heads not understanding Aris's behavior.

"Yes, you picket today, right?" ask the Class Chief when Yashinta was just about to sit in his place once he arrived from the cafeteria. The girl nodded her head.

"Please take the Biology package book at the Library, yeah. I want to go to the Teacher Room first" he asked, looking hurried. Yashinta nodded and prepared to go to the Library along with the incoming bell that sounded.

"Do you want to be won?" Ranti who was sitting back asked.

"No papa, Ranti. Y-y-yeah,"

"Related?"

"Yes, sure. Ranti sat down." Ranti nods her assent, letting Yashinta pass herself out of the classroom.

"Where is Yashinta going?" Yashinta runs into Bu Diania, a biology teacher at the classroom door.

"Take the package book first, ma'am,"

"Oh, yes. Your Classroom Leader is still in the Teacher's Room, don't be long, yeah."

"Yes, Mom."

"Can you bring your own book?"

"Can, Mom."

"Oh, yasudah."

Yashinta nodded, saying goodbye to her teacher and then half ran towards the Library.

The Library was quiet at that time because all the children had returned to study in class. Mr. Firdaus, as the manager of the library is also not on his desk. If only the library was in the dark, then Yashinta would not dare to enter because of the aura of horror that would certainly be created.

But Yashinta remembers again if the atmosphere was outside in broad daylight and he had to quickly pick up the book and return to class. So that the girl quickly searched for a biological package book, she went around a bookcase and clucked slowly when the book she was looking for was on the top shelf.

"Why tall bangeet." he lamented.

But that made Yashinta even more surprised when he found a student sitting leaning on a bookshelf with a thick book blocking his face.

That was not much, because when Yashinta found the watch that the student was wearing, he was sure if it was Kafka. Then the truth was immediately proven when Kafka took down the book and showed his face.

Then looked at Yashinta and made the girl misbehave. Now Yashinta began to think, maybe he should just accept Ranti's offer to accompany him. But Yashinta also doesn't know if Kafka will be there instead of being in class because lessons are starting.

"Ka–Kafka why not in class?" the girl was forced to ask, she couldn't possibly let the awkwardness overwhelm her.

"Gue fever." Kafka said briefly as he got up from his seat. Yashinta looked at her with an unreadable look, Kafka looked back at the girl.

"It's up to you not to believe" he said seeing the girl's unconvinced look. Yashinta was silent, Kafka was not out of place either. They both get trapped in silence.

To be honest, there was a lot Yashinta wanted to say, a lot he wanted to ask the man.

The reason why Kafka never apologized. The reason why Kafka seemed to not regret his actions, was also the reason why Kafka seemed to feel no guilt towards him.

But all Yashinta could do was just silently stare at the man.
