-The Best Valentine-
People say Moirai is a collection of goddesses of destiny that bind humans from birth to death. People say Valentine's Day is the most awaited romantic moment of the year.
It is a sacred day for every couple to show their eternal love. A flower can represent love, and a chocolate bar can represent affection.
Note to those who have a partner!
For those who are single, please be patient, because this is a temptation.
"Inhale, exhale, Maura. This is still not the end of your life. " Maura had reminded herself several times to stay sane when she was in between a couple in love.
Absurd couples, excessive behavior couples, and other bastard couples who never realize the situation.
This incident is almost the same as years ago and keeps repeating itself.
Maura Oktavia Magen is a young girl who is in her third year of high school and the only child of Sarah Nagita and Erwin Sadewa.
Maura was a nice seventeen-year-old girl who lived one hundred and fifty-one miles short of her So good, her soul mate is always surrounded by people, including her own best friend, Bastard.
Maura never understands why Bara, the man she had a crush on in her first year, is now dating her best friend, Luna. Even though she always imagined that one day she would be able to join hands with that man, smiling together through the day and ending up on the aisle.
For Maura, Bara is like dew in the morning. Like a cool breeze that blows in his face when he's lethargic. Like the morning sun that never hurts him.
He was the perfect figure among the millions of boys in his school.
The word "handsome" alone can not fully represent this. Bara has a tall body with charming exotic skin. His forehead is not too wide nor too narrow. His nose is sharp with brown irises that make him look exactly like an angel.
But that was then.
Since Luna proclaimed her relationship with Bara, Maura's judgment immediately changed completely.
'That man is a demon! Demons and demons are two-faced, damn it!! '
Grumbling in annoyance, Maura tore up all the photos of the man, pulling them down by force from the innocent wall in her room. Her heart immediately boiled with invisible embers.
And this is the end.
Maura took a deep breath again. Her body slumped down with her hands gripping the cafeteria table tightly.
'Another misfortune on the same day,' he muttered to herself.
This afternoon was as hot as the past few days. Maybe the hellfire had already leaked out and landed on his head.
Damn it!!
Maura's black irises looked annoyed and half jealous at the in-love couple who were sitting in front of her.
Well, Luna was putting on an embarrassed face when Bara said she would take her to the town hall on Valentine's Day in a few days.
"Thank you, dear, Luna is so embarrassed." Luna blinked a few times before hitting her boyfriend's arm affectionately.
Preet.
Maura grumbled harshly in her heart. Her ears sharpened. The sound frequency between Luna and Bara is exactly like ultrasonic waves that can make her ears no longer work.
"Anything for you, my love," replied Bara equally disgustingly.
Fix it, Maura wants to throw up, damn it. Jealousy is crueler than being trapped in the middle of a room.
***
It took fifteen minutes for Maura to survive the embarrassing one-on-one emergency. She was grateful when Bara said goodbye to playing futsal with his friends. That means her suffering will also end.
"Huh." Maura took a deep breath.
He looked up slowly and saw Luna's expression turn lazy. The girl sighed even more than he did.
"Bored," said Luna.
Maura ignored her. Her lips smiled faintly as she felt the heavenly wind blow against her face, blowing away the hot air that had previously affected her brain.
There are no more spoiled voices and the laughter of a pair of children, Adam and Eve, who are acutely in love. Until the sound of someone's footsteps made him turn around.
A teenage boy who looked neatly typical of a first grader approached him timidly. The man handed him a letter with his head lowered.
"Ka-ka... ka Ma-Maura.. th-this is a letter for Kaka." he stammered. (Kakak is a call to seniors or people who are older than us)
Luna chuckled softly, and immediately Maura elbowed her way slowly.
"What's this?" Maura asked. She furrowed an eyebrow, then took the letter from his classmate's hand. "Is it you who wrote it?"
"N-no Ka, I was just told to. I'm sorry. "
Gerrr ...
Maura had not had time to ask anything else. The boy left first, aka ran away, damn it!
"What is it? A letter? " asked Luna.
Maura shrugged her shoulders, not knowing. According to a brief search, the rectangular object was indeed a letter. It's just that the shape is a little scary.
Usually, young girls get flowers, chocolates, and letters that are dominated by pink. So the letter her got was black with writing like scribbles on the mailing address.
"It looks like a letter," Maura agreed. "Who sent it?" Maura flipped through the letter without daring to open it at all.
"Not open?" asked Luna, surprised.
Maura raised her head slowly and then glanced away faintly. "This thing is suspicious. My grandmother once said if you get something terrible, then you should never open it. It's dangerous. My grandmother also used to get a terrible letter like this, and that night she immediately fainted. " Maura explained it with confidence.
"How is that possible? What's the letter? "
Maura was silent for a moment. She put her letter on the table, took her glass, and then finished it in one gulp.
"Debt invoice."
"Shit!!" Luna cursed softly.
Luna didn't know how to react. She wants to laugh, is afraid that her friend will be offended, wants to be angry, yet the girl in front of her doesn't necessarily listen to her. It's useless for her to talk for long periods, too, even if the ends are ignored.
"But the feeling that I have no debt, " Maura muttered to herself." I'm also curious about the contents. Should I just open it? she asked as looked at Luna, seeking approval.
Luna nodded enthusiastically. "Quickly open it. Who knows a love letter. Valentine's Day isn't there soon enough. Who knows there is a creature called a man who asks you out? "
Maura stopped her movements and said, "I don't feel well. It looks like this letter is a debt note. "
Luna patted her forehead lightly. She didn't know what else to say to her friend. It's useless, it won't affect her ingrained absurdity.
"Tsk! Give it to me. "
Luna grabbed it quickly.
"Yah!! " Luna!! You don't have any morals!!" Maura shouted, trying to get the letter back from her best friend's hand.
"If I don't have morals, That's natural because I'm learning from you, my little friend. " Luna chuckled softly after saying that.
The distance between her and Maura was blocked by a very wide canteen table. In other words, her best friend couldn't do anything when she opened Maura's version of a dangerous letter that was poisoned by her grandmother's adage.
Luna coughed softly. Her brow furrowed as she read the neat writings spilling out on the paper one by one.
relaxed, glaring, and wide-eyed
The various expressions that tended to be strange immediately made Maura bite her lower lip unconsciously.
This is referred to as a debt bond.
"Maura."
"What? Don't tell me it's a stray note. " She could die if asked to pay another man's debt.
Please note that the pocket money can be counted on the fingers, and even then, the canteen tax and transportation costs have not been deducted. Her life is as miserable as the flying fish soap opera, duh Gusti!!
"You can't be serious." Luna hersed in annoyance. Her eyes bulged and She handed a letter she had read to her friend.
"Maura, tell me, what's the sender's name? It seems my eyes are hurting to see the impossible name there. "
Maura wanted to protest, but she didn't. The girl chose to find the name of the sender, who meant her friend.
"Erlangga O. Lorenzo?" She said, half unsure.
"Damn it!! OMG!! WOW!! What a dream did I have last night to find this pending wonder of the world, God! " Luna screamed. "Erlang sent you a love letter. Gosh for what?"
Maura chuckled softly. She was confused why her friend was so enthusiastic. It's just Erlangga.. the most popular guy all year round.
No need to think twice to find out the truth. Maura was very sure this letter must be fake, a prankster who worked on her.
