Grandchild for Grandpa
Chapter 14

Back to the present.

Marsha's back on campus. He sat in the cafeteria in front of the campus. His head was a little dizzy that morning, but because there was a class exam he inevitably had to go to campus.

Marsha can't sleep overnight. He kept thinking about Erick's words in the afternoon yesterday. Marsha still doesn't want to open her heart to Erick, she can't believe that Erick really loves her. All the Erick words he heard a few years ago were still in his brain.

“Excuse me brother, here are the fries, just like the warm chocolate milk.” Said a waiter while serving Marsha's order.

“Still brother.”

Marsha immediately gulped down a glass of warm chocolate milk in front of her. Some days he chose breakfast outside.

The phone Marsha put on the table shook. One message came in from Icha.

Icha :

[Where's Loe?]

Marsha :

[Cafe rainbow in front of campus]

Icha :

[OK. ni gw sma kezia follow to it].

Marsha :

[He em]

Marsha put her cell phone back on the table. There were actually several incoming messages from Erick, but none of them were open Marsha. Even some incoming calls he ignored. Right now he really did not want to meet that man. He's still a little traumatized by Erick because that afternoon he almost lost everything.

The tringg! The doorbell of the cafe rang. The two people Marsha was waiting for had come.

Icha and Kezia sat in the front seat of Marsha. Their faces looked worried looking at Marsha who was clearly looking gloomy.

“Pesen first you want breakfast what.” Marsha.

Kezia nodded as he raised his hand to call the servant. His hands formed a box letter which meant that he asked for a menu of food.

With a swift waiter the cafe immediately took the menu and gave it to Kezia. Kezia put the menu between him and Icha. They also chose breakfast.

“Nasi fried eggs Yes Kak, same drink warm sweet tea.” Icha Say.

“my warm white milk same toast chocolate cheese.” Kezia.

The female servant immediately recorded their order. After all the orders were correct, he resigned.

Icha looked at Marsha who was still pensively looking at the window glass beside her.

“yesterday you met Erick?” ask Icha. Marsha averted her eyes, now her eyes were staring at Icha.

“Kok loe know?”

“Yes yesterday she was nyari elo, we met her in the cafeteria. I keep saying I'll go with Calvin to mall.” Answer Icha.

Marsha has a lazy face. He looked back at the window beside him.

“You have Sha problem?” ask Kezia.

“Why Sha? You don't want to tell us, you have a problem what? Let's be more relieved.” Persuade Icha.

Marsha sighed softly, she rubbed her hair back. “Yesterday I almost raped her.” Marsha said slowly.

The eyes of Icha and Kezia immediately widened to hear Marsha's words.

“kok can Sha?” kezia asked half in disbelief that Erick dared to do that.

“Yes I was wrong, I went the same guy while my position was his fiancee. And I don't let him, either. I just haven't sincerely got to marry her.”

“if you are not sincere why do you agree? Why don't you talk to Grandpa Loe to cancel your wedding?”

“Free Cha. I don't know my grandfather, he's harder than a rock. All of his words are indisputable.” Answer Marsha.

Icha shook her head. His hands folded on his chest, he was quite dizzy thinking about his best friend's problem. Marriage is complicated. Especially if there is no love in it.

“But Sha, btw what the hell makes you hate the same Erick? Why can't you open your heart to him? Not that you used to like High School like him, right? Continuously I suddenly see loe so cold Erick until now.” Marsha was silent.

All this time he harbored all the events that happened on Valentine's Day a few years ago. None of her best friends know the cause of Marsha's hatred for Erick.

“iya Sha. If you still can not open your heart to Erick, then your wedding how.”

“Ya already if you are not strong yes stay divorced.” Answer marsha cuek.

“Hussh.. ngawur you Sha. The divorce can't be Sha. Banned religion.” Tegur Kezia's.

Marsha smiled knot. She recalled what her mother said in the car that night after coming home from the hospital right after the wedding and Erick. Her mother said the same thing with her father.

“Udah, let's talk about something else. I'm dizzy thinking it continues.” Marsha.

“OK okay. Oya next week the campus is having an art night. Dateng yuk, he said call the famous band. Some students also. I think it's cool.”

“Not that we are obliged to come ya Cha?” kezia.

“ow yes we have to dateng.” Icha then laughed.

Drtts! Drtts! The phone on the table is vibrating.

“Sha, Erick calls tuh.” Icha pointed at Marsha's mobile phone that was shaking by twitching her chin.

“Biarin.” Marsha shifted the red button on her phone and turned off her phone.

“Ga in tuh?” marsha asked again while pointing at the food that was already on the table. So serious they do not realize that their order has been served.

“Oya okay, I eat first.” Icha take a spoon and eat the fried rice. Same with Kezia.

🌻🌻

Elsewhere Erick was trying to contact Marsha, but not a single message was returned and the phone picked up. Even now the number can't be dialed.

“Where?” febry asked, now Erick was sitting on the bench at the dinner table with his family. Johan was there too, they were discussing the matter of Erick and Marsha's marriage which was only a few weeks away.

“Ga in Pi lift. Erick samperin on campus.” Erick. Febry nodded in understanding.

“Yes that's what it is. Next week you have a pre wedding photo. Mami you have taken care of the invitation, just ask for data from the Marsha family who are their guests who want to be invited. Quickly yes, because time has passed. Later some invitations will be made in the form of files, so that they can be sent by online. For guests from out of town and abroad. This week all invitations will be spread.” Febry. Erick nodded in understanding, not expecting it to be a few weeks away. But until now Erick has not been able to melt the frozen heart of Marsha.

“Later if you're married. Enjoy the first time together, do not focus too much on the love of Grandpa. Yea? You guys know each other first, if emang Marsha is pregnant. For sure do not delay as well, lakin as usual.” Johan. Erick nodded with blushing cheeks at hearing the word “hamil”.
