Part 7.
Since the incident that night sitting on the balcony, why am I curious about the status of the guy next door to the house, huh? Every time there is an incoming message from the mysterious guy, I always ignore it, only read it, and I never reply. My mind is so focused on the guy in front of the house. I remember when he waved at me.
Why is that guy so playful, huh? Even though bring a girl beside him. Between fun and playboy, there's a slight difference, guys. Until I waited for the sound of the car coming home that night. Just to make sure he came home or not.
Now I have a new habit, happy to sit for long on the balcony terrace. Or just sitting on the terrace of the house, daydreaming looking at the front house. Until Mother was surprised to see the change in my attitude, it's unusual like this.
"Why is diligent in daydreaming, usually playing only cellphones," Mother quipped.
"Tired of playing cellphone too, Bund!" I said casually.
"Come on, learn to cook or make cakes with Mbok Nah!" my advice.
"I don't know if you're off work!" I answered.
While talking to Mother, I couldn't take my eyes off the front house. What time do you go to work? After breakfast, I haven't heard a sound car out of the house.
Derrtt... derrtt...
My cell phone vibrates on the terrace table, there's a message in the green app. Just glanced at the cellphone, then continued to daydream while looking ahead.
Not long after Papa and Brother Rey came out of the house, they were all dressed up to go to work. How come the guy in front of the house doesn't go to work, huh? If an office person must be in a hurry at this hour to go to work, I thought.
"Hey, honey! Have you had breakfast?" said Papa while kissing my forehead.
"Yes, Papa!" I said.
"Why to sit daydreaming, what are you thinking about?" asked Papa in surprise.
"Halah, I'm in love the most, Pah!" Brother Rey replied originally.
"Ugh, you know so much!" I answered while pouting.
"Really, people who fall in love like to daydream, don't they? Papa wasn't like that before!"
I grabbed the phone from the table, then entered the house. My actions were greeted with laughter from Papa and Brother Rey. "Hm... This morning it's already been sarcastic, I mumbled.
*******
Just about to enter the living room, from outside came the sound of the fence is opened. I peeked from behind the window curtain, the guy in front of the house was opening his car door.
Hm, it turns out that what I was waiting for came out of the front house. The boy got back into the car and left. Leaving vehicle fumes in the air and out of sight.
I was still standing transfixed by the window. It was like being hypnotized, I'm not usually like this. Suddenly my shoulder was touched from behind.
"Hey, Zaa, who are you peeking at? Seriously
really see it?" Mother was already standing on the behind me.
"Eeh, Mother, don't surprise me, okay?" my murmur. Mother seemed curious, she also peeked from behind the window.
"There's no one outside!" Mother said surprised, her eyes looked at me seriously.
I smiled then turned around and left. While Mother is still confused to see my unusual behavior. The cellphone that I was holding vibrated, as usual, it was the number that sent me a message.
"Hey, good morning! Don't forget to have breakfast," said the unclear boy.
"I'm full!" I replied firmly.
"Idiih, it's been very fierce in the morning!" mock that guy. I sent a horned head emoji, let him. You know, I don't want to be bothered.
"When all my business is done, I will—
Show your profile on this number!" promised the guy. "You don't have to be so familiar!" I replied.
"You make me miss you!" said the boy again.
"Indifferent!" I said.
I immediately deactivated my cell phone alias it died. I better take a shower than go to college. Today Mrs. Tina, the killer lecturer entered in the first hour, I must have arrived before the lecturer came. He teaches English Literature.
How can you listen to the knowledge that the lecturer gives you if in class you just grumble? Those who have a headache get dizzy, it's hard to catch a lesson from him. Luckily I didn't major in English Literature.
I'm more interested in studying the field of corporate management. After graduating from college, you want to have your own business or business. I don't want to take advantage of the big names of my grandpa and father. Even without realizing it, they have bequeathed a company to me.
One more thing, I also want to learn to be
a designer. Mother is happy and willing to share her knowledge with me. So you don't need to go to college to major in design, because you have been successful in that field.
*******
At exactly ten o'clock in the morning, I was getting ready to go to college. Downstairs I ran into Mbok Nah. He said in a whisper.
"Non-Za, this morning when Mbok, throw the garbage in front of the fence, someone sent greetings!"
I stared at the serious, half-century-old maid's face. It seemed he was speaking the truth.
"Who sent greetings, Mbok?" I asked seriously.
"That's Non, our next-door neighbor! Every morning he goes to work in a black car!" he explained.
Deg ... my heart is pounding, isn't it the one who uses the black car, the boy I saw in the morning from behind the window. which were
"How many guys are there really? live in the front house, Mbok?" I asked.
"There are two people, Non! One is working and the other is still in college!" he answered.
"Which guy sent greetings?" I asked curiously.
"That guy who's already working isn't there a joint work with Papa Non too!" clear Mbok Well.
I was stunned to hear Mbok Nah's explanation. I can't believe it, how come this guy dares to say hello? While he already has
a girlfriend. I'm getting more and more curious and want to know more about this guy's status.
Like hypnotized, while driving the car my mind was filled with questions about the status and the intention of the guy to send greetings to me. Does he want to play with me? Don't mention Zahrana, if you can't conquer the heart of a playboy like the neighbor guy.
My status is still alone not because there are no guys who like me. But I haven't been able to find the guy I want. All this time the guy who approached me was just for fun. That's why I reject his love, do not want to be used by them. Because Papa and Mother are respected people in this city.
