The Story Of Kayla
Episodes 3. Mom's Old Friend

Unable to get an answer, Kayla finally stopped calling her mother. He immediately returned to his room and changed his clothes.

"Where is mama? from that moment on, no look!" kayla muttered in wonder.

Kayla went downstairs, she took a glass of milk in the refrigerator and drank it.

As Kayla steps up to go to the living room and look for her mother, she accidentally sees a piece of paper and pen sitting on the dining table.

...“Mama has business with mama's friends, you wait at home until your sisters come home! If you want to get out of the house, do not forget to lock the house, the house key is under the mattress mama”...

~Mama

After reading the contents of the letter, Kayla let out a long sigh. "It's just right that my mom isn't home" he said.

Bored, Kayla took the keys to the house and went outside. Intentionally, he wanted to go to a park located not far from his home.

Chequek..

"Well!" kayla smiled.

Kayla wears her favorite sandals, sandals that her mom and dad gave her when she was a child.

🍂🍂🍂🍂

Arriving at the park, Kayla sat alone in a long chair made of wood. He chose to read a book that he had prepared from home, rather than playing and chatting like other people there.

As Kayla began to read the first page, there was faintly the sound of a woman making Kayla's concentration split.

"How does it feel? Yummy right? I thought you'd like it"

Her beautiful face and her smile that radiated on her beautiful lips, the woman smiled as she looked at the man in front of her. Kayla looked back, "Why do I know you?" kayla Mumbles.

"Haaah.I think this is because of Lo! You know myself I don't like sweet," said a man in front of the woman while holding a chocolate ice cream in his hand.

The deg! Kayla was shocked to see the man's face. "Why is he here?" kayla asked confusedly, at once curious.

"Ish, a piece of ice cream, it'll melt!" said the woman with a stale face.

"Yes, I'm eating, just relax!" the man smiled, he immediately devoured the ice cream that was in his hand.

Kayla lowered her head, for some reason her heart felt very sick, like it was slashed by a sharp object. "Why you, Kayla?" kayla asked in her heart, she held her aching chest.

Kayla got up from her seat, hugged the book she was carrying and ran away from the park to return to her home.

Arriving at home, Kayla immediately put her sandals on the shoe rack and was about to go to her room. But, he saw a shoe heels that were outside the door, with black shoes model man next to him.

"It's my mama's shoes, but which one is this? Did you change your shoes?" kayla asked in her mind.

Kayla opened the door to her house, where she saw her mother and a stranger talking in the living room.

"Mama?" Kayla approached her mother. "When do you come home?" ask Kayla.

"It's just now" Della replied, commenting on the smile on her face.

Kayla frowned for a moment, it was not usual for the mama to treat herself gently like this. Plus, his curiosity towards the foreign man before him.

"Oh yes Kay, this is Om Andi, she's my mom's friend" Della said.

"Di, this is my firstborn, her name is Kayla" Della said.

"Hi Kayla, what a name! Introduce, um, Om Andi!" andi introduced herself.

"Your youngest son is beautiful Dell! It's like you were a kid, hehe." Andi said with a small laugh.

"You are the same as you used to be! I love to seduce people!" Della chuckles in response to Andi's words.

Feeling uncomfortable with Andi's treatment and attitude, Kayla chose to be quiet and not say, just the smile she showed her mother and Om Andi.

"Ma, I'll go to the room first!" kayla asked for permission.

"Oh, yes, " replied Della nodding.

Kayla immediately went to the room and locked the door of her room. He put the book he was carrying on the study table.

Kayla then laid her body on the bed, she looked up at the sky through the window, thinking of the man and woman she had seen in the garden.

"Why? After all, he deserves it. Why should I be sad?" kayla said softly, she smiled bitterly, with the lethargic face she displayed.

"We met at the same time, but I lost to him, haah. If you look around, she is indeed a suitable woman for him. She was jovial and friendly, in contrast to me who was quiet, and belonged to the category of person who was introverted" inner Kayla.

Why should I think about this? It's too late, the best thing for now is to forget about her, she's happy with the woman, then I should be happy too! Kayla... Why are you sad, hm? Kayla smiled, cheering herself on, trying to forget someone who had managed to put herself in Kayla's heart.

****

Not felt, it was late. Kayla, who had just finished cleaning herself, went down because her stomach had just kept making strange noises. Yeah, especially if it's not the sound of a starving stomach!

Kayla went to the kitchen. Intentionally, he wanted to cook the Nuget and mengolek sambal green, but he undo his intention because on the dinner table so much fast food, and more surprisingly, Om Andi has not come home, though it's 21:15, his visit has been long here.

"Mama!" call Kayla.

Della turned her head, she immediately smiled, "Here baby!" Della.

"Ehm, yes." replied Kayla nodding.

Kayla sat next to Naura, her second sister. Naura is a family member who loves Kayla, while her mother and brother regret having Kayla who is not a boy, Naura always faithfully accompanies Kayla. But, because of his busy life as a college child, he rarely met and communicated with Kayla.

"Kaila? Hi!" greet Naura, she hugged Kayla.

Kayla was a little jolted, however, for three years she had not met Naura, the older sister. Although awkward, but Kayla returned a warm embrace from Naura, after all she was the same person, this awkwardness would soon end if there was no lack of communication between the two of them.

"How are you, Kay? I haven't seen you in a long time!" ask Naura kindly.

"Okay, sister" answered Kayla smiling.

"Good if that is so, big brother kangen very similar to this sister brother! long time ago I did not meet, the end of my brother is too busy and focused on taking care of college affairs," Naura let out a long sigh.

"Yes, it's okay! I understand!" kayla smiled.

In addition to Naura and Kayla, there are also Ida and Reynold. Ida is the first sister and second of four children. Naura is the third of four children.

"Reynold, Ida, Naura, Kayla, let's get eaten! Earlier Om Andi ordered a lot of food for us," said Della.

"Not Dell! I'm sincere! Come on-ayo, eat the food!" said Andi.

"Hush, you are!" Della gave a small laugh, then took a plate of rice. "Nih Di, eat too!" take Della while offering a plate of rice that he took earlier.

"No need for Dell!" reject Andi.

"Ayoo, eaten!" Della.

Andi finally gave up, he followed and ate together.

Unlike the rest of the family, Kayla is a bit uncomfortable with Andi's attitude. After his father died, no one could make his mother laugh like this.

Kayla understood that Andi was good, but still, there was a bad feeling in her heart. Plus, her mother casually handed over the usual seating position in her late father's seat first. Andi also often glanced at Della with a smile on her face

"Kay, why is it eating so lethargic? Any thoughts, hm? Come on, eat a lot!" Naura.

Kayla just daydreamed and stared blankly ahead, as if she had not heard Naura's words back then.

"Kaila.. Kayla!" call Naura.

Kayla rounded her eyes, she realized from her daydream. "Ah, yes brother?" answer Kayla.

Naura shook her head, "Why? Is there a problem? Or.. Are you sick again, huh?" asked Naura to investigate.

"No, just no appetite" replied Kayla.

"Everyone, I'm sorry I have to go back to my room, there's business to be done. Sorry ma, um." Kayla said bowing respectfully

Della scrunched her forehead, not liking Kayla's attitude. "Where? Just here!" della ruled.

"Udah is Dell, this morning! he may be tired" Andi said.

"Huuh. ya already there! Don't sleep at night, don't forget the textbook schedule for tomorrow!" Della.

Kayla nodded, she took her plate and washed it in the sink in the kitchen. After that, he went to his room and prepared everything he needed for tomorrow while he was in school.

🍂🍂🍂🍂

The next day, early in the morning exactly at 06.05 Kayla was ready to wear a full uniform and backpack.

"For ma!" kayla smiled at her mother who was serving food in the dining room.

"Hmmm.." Della just cleared her throat to say hello from Kayla.

Kayla smiled clumsily, she felt that her mother's attitude had returned to how it was. Then, why was he so attentive to her yesterday? What... Because of Om Andi? Think Kayla at this time.

"The breakfast is on the table, for supplies, mama buyin bread same wafer, enough right? In your bag there is still pocket money, if less.buy something, mama no time to buy a lot of food!" della explained. When Della stepped back to her youngest child, she went to her first child's room, Reynold, to wake him up.

"Yes ma, thank you." answered Kayla politely.

Tok.dok..

"Rey.. Rey baby, wake up son!" della said, knocking on the door.

Kayla smiled bitterly, "Is yesterday just my hallucination? Wherever possible, mama loves me," said Kayla lethargic.

Kayla immediately ate her breakfast in the form of rice with fried chicken and red chili. After eating, he immediately approached his mother and said goodbye to go to school.

"Ma, I'm leaving!" kayla said as she kissed the back of her hand.

"Yes, go, you're late!" said Della with a lazy eyeball.

As usual, Kayla went to the bus stop. He waited for bus number 433 to go to his school.

"Oh yeah.." Kayla remembered something, before leaving, she took the time to go to the old grandmother's house she met at that time.

"Excuse me, grandma..!" kayla said calling.

Krekka..

The door opened, Nek Ruqa exited her house, she commented a smile on her face as she found out who was coming. "Son Kayla!" call him.

"Hemm, I'm bothering grandma, aren't you?" asked Kayla doubtfully.

"No son, let's sit down.." Nek Ruqa invited Kayla to sit in a chair in front of her house. It wasn't that Kayla wouldn't let her in, but she knew Kayla must be waiting for the bus.

"Wait for the bus, kiddo Kayla?" ask Nek Ruqa.

Kayla nodded softly, "Yes, Grandma." replied Kayla.

"Yahh, the stock of grandma's tea powder runs out, right, grandma make warm milk, right?" nek Ruqa.

Kayla who had been looking towards the bus stop, quickly turned to Nak Ruqa and waved a sign refusing, "No need to granny, gapapa! thank you, Grandma." said Kayla politely.

"What's that?" nek Ruqa asked with a sad look on her face.

"Anu.. instead of me rejecting the grandma, I'm afraid of ngerepotin grandma! Besides, the bus is coming soon, I'm here to talk to grandma, I'm not going to hunt!" kayla is friendly.

Nek Ruqa smiled, her sadness erased by the happiness in her heart. This time there was someone who loved and appreciated him. During this time, he was abandoned by his wealthy family. Although living in this house is his will, but he still wants to visit his children and grandchildren. Yes, even if it's just an unfulfilled dream.

"Well, let's talk to Grandma!" Nek Ruqa smiled, she sat down beside Kayla.

"What are you talking about, son?" ask Nek Ruqa.

"I'm not a typical person who is good at chatting or chatting, so I can only say a little bit." Kayla said staring doubtfully at Nek Ruqa.

"Oh, that's okay, kid! In the past, when you were a teenager, your grandmother also rarely communicated with people around," explained Nek Ruqa.

Kayla looked puzzledly at Nek Ruqa. There's no way Nek Ruqa is such a quiet person, right? kayla was confused.

"It's weird to look around! In the past, grandmothers were not easy to get along with, grandmothers were quiet and rarely smiled because they included shy people as well. But, if the grandmother is already close to him, of course the grandmother will change nature to be friendly and jolly." explained Nek Ruqa.

"But that's an exception for you! The first time I met you, Grandma wanted to say hello and chat with you, not knowing why, hehe.." Nek Ruqa let out a laugh, her happiness radiating at this moment.

Kayla was silent for a moment, trying to understand Nek Ruqa's words and statements. But, seeing Nek Ruqa happy, a happiness for her as well. He and Nek Ruqa have many similarities, they are quiet and introverted people. They also did not receive much attention from their families. Yeah, they're pretty similar.

Tiiinn!! The bus horn rang out, Kayla kissing the back of Nek Ruqa's hand while smiling. "Thank you for coming with me, Grandma! I'm saying goodbye first." said Kayla.

"Yes son," Nek Ruqa replied with a smile.
