From Duren Down To The Heart
Chapter 29. The affair?

Bruuukkkk

I immediately dropped myself on my beloved bed.

Ah.. I miss him so much!

Drrrrtt Drrrrtt

'lo where? I'm going to your boarding house, why isn't there?'

I forgot to tell my best friend about my move.

'sorry Rin, I forgot about lo. I just moved out of boarding'

'what? where do you live now?'

'gue was told to go home with Mama..'

'oh, kirain lo moved out. We're meeting yuk!'

'what time?'

'let's just have lunch, I have business first.'

'you don't work?'

'it's Saturday, baby..'

'oh yeah, I forgot. Yaudah, see you'

Mom came up to me as I walked down the stairs with a well-groomed dress.

"where are you going, baby?"

"i want to meet Ririn Ma.."

"why wasn't Ririn invited here? Mama cooked for lunch."

"that's it? Just ask Ririn first."

Mama nodded and took me to sit in the tv room. Mama continued to smile while looking at me, I felt uncomfortable even though I looked at Mama herself.

"why did you see me like that?"

"it's okay.. Mama's really happy, really soon Mama's got a good daughter-in-law like Keanu."

"ih, Mama what the hell? Beaah!" I opened my eyes, replying to Ririn.

"kok lebay anyway? That's the truth! You're not aware of it? He is the perfect man to be your husband. Mama's sure, she'll be able to turn you into a better human being."

I stood up and grabbed Mama's hand to kiss. "Ma, I'm going first, lunch with her after all yes, Ririn has already left for the cafe. Bye Mama..!" I ran after kissing Mama's cheek.

"jeez Clara! How come you rush that? Mama's talk wasn't heard?" Mom yelling.

And I also answered with a shout from the door. "I heard Ma, I will continue to talk later.." I ran ahead, because my ojol was waiting in front.

****

"hi.." We both greeted each other and gave each other a hug when they arrived at the cafe.

"gue kangen really, it's been quite a long time not horrified curhatan my friend." Ririn took off a hug. "how?"

"what?"

"yes your love story is the same Mr. Perfect is.. What else?"

I sighed while leaning my back on the cafe chair. "yes! I know everything now."

"what? About Keanu whose son Pak Arman who wants to be betrothed the same lo?" Ririn stared at her enthusiastically.

I nodded. "so that's what you meant by those words back then? that surprise? Why didn't you tell me from the beginning the same I was?"

Ririn smiled. "yes, I want you to know by yourself. So you're going to feel a real sureprise, right?"

"gue was like Rin's dream. Not surprisingly, it turns out I was fooled by the same person I love.."

Ririn continued to respond to all my curses. He really is a reliable friend. I feel that my happiness right now is completely complete. And I don't feel like I want to go through moments like this. I want to continue experiencing it. Laugh and joke incessantly, as if you have no problems in life.

All of a sudden..

Ririn seemed surprised to see my expression like that. "lo why Clar? What's up?"

I raised my trembling hand while showing Ririn towards my vision. "that's it.."

Ririn followed the direction I was pointing. And he also looked very surprised. "that's Mas Keanu right? Who is he?"

Without answering Ririn's question, I immediately let go of my hand that was holding Ririn's hand, and went to the toilet. Ririn followed me there immediately.

"Clar.lo calm down!" Ririn hugged me.

"how do you want to calm down, Rin? While I just squirm the guy I love being hugged friendly with other girls like that?!"

"this can be said fine. Lo samperin him now! And ask him to explain what really happened! Who knows, it's not what you see.." Ririn was trying to calm me down. "gue sure, Mas Keanu is not Clar.."

"what is Rin? I trust more than I see." My tears really can't stop flowing. I don't know, why does it feel to be this sick? I have never been like this before.

Ririn's right. Maybe it's not what I think it is. But still, I couldn't stop my tears.

Ririn wiped my tears. "clar.lo was calm first.lo was patient yes.I'm sure Mas Keanu not like that." Ririn sighed. "now answer me! Do you want to find him there or not?"

I shook my head. "gue was afraid I couldn't stand up to face them face to face."

"you know what if you try to chat Keanu now! Tanya, where is he and what? I want to see, he's honest about it."

I nodded quickly. "okay, I chat now." and my tears had stopped flowing, just sobbing and eyes were still there.

'Mas, where are you?'

"how? she doesn't bales?"

I'm shaking. "devil." I showed my phone to Ririn. "how do you do it now?"

"let's get out! Ask him directly.." Ririn pulled my hand, but I immediately let go.

"gue can't. I'm afraid it's getting emotional to face it head-on."

"yeah, we're going home. Back way."

I nodded and followed Ririn.

Ririn drove me home, she happened to be carrying her personal car.

All the way I was just staring out the car glass. The corner of my eye caught Ririn's eye. It seemed like he wanted to talk to me, but maybe he was hesitant, because of my circumstances.

Without feeling, Ririn had turned her car towards my yard. My heart felt empty, not knowing what to do.

Ririn led me into the house.

"huh, you guys are home?" ask Mama who is watching tv.

I did not answer Mama's question and went straight up the stairs to my room. Looks like Mama asked Ririn something, but I didn't hear their conversation.

Tok tok tok tok

"Clara. open the door, baby.."

"I want to go by myself Ma, just let me be alone first!" I was screaming from inside the room.

"alright then. You can tell Mama if you're calmer."

I didn't answer Mama's question, and it seemed like Mama left immediately after speaking her last sentence.

I keep staring at the phone screen. Hope Keanu replies to my message, and he'll explain all this. All I hope is that everything just misunderstands.

But until late at night, he didn't return my message either. Not even reading it. And without feeling, I've been playing in my dreams now. But there's no him either. Keane..
