Beautiful Monster

"So Ignacia didn't tell you?" Rajendra looked confused. "Ignacia didn't say that her mother fell in the middle of the night and had trouble walking?"

"Mama Ignacia isn't coming?!"

There is an intimidating tone in Rajendra's question. The man immediately got up and picked up the cell phone he had been charging since. It's not a roomchat someone who really surprised him. Ignacia should have told.

Nesya was still in place, seeing the reaction Rajendra showed without hesitation.

The man was frustrated that his call did not get an answer from the one called. "Where's the girl? Why didn't he pick up my call?" geram Rajendra's. He could have thrown his phone in any direction if Nesya wasn't there and kept waiting.

"Ignacia's still going alone?"

Rajendra gave up and chose to ask Nesya. Yang asked nodded, explaining that Ignacia would never miss the opportunity to meet her favorite writer. Moreover, this was the first time he would get a signature.

"What am I supposed to do? He's never been alone. She shouldn't have been - ah she was stubborn."

"You trust him" Nesya broke up and got up and left Rajendra. Nesya knew that her friend's lover was very worried because Ignacia herself had never traveled alone. Nesya. But he can't do anything either.

"It's my fault for telling me about the book signing? Or is it my fault for making Rajendra know if Ignacia went alone?" Nesya is not feeling well on her own.

Nesya could see Ignacia's dislike when she found out who Feby was, when she saw Sarah talking to her boyfriend as well. But Ignacia feels more alert because Feby is Rajendra's friend and neighbor. Moreover, the two were once asked to go together by their parents.

Ignacia turns on a jealous mode at her lover's neighbor.

"If you knew it wasn't Feby you should pay attention to, Ignacia. You would be so sick of the world if you knew," Nesya muttered.

His eyes were now focused on the shoelaces. Soon after, he turned to someone who would cross paths with him. A girl who is in class with Rananta. The girl's goal is not Nesya. But towards the inn that Nesya had left behind.

"Well that girl makes me sick," growled Nesya.

But Nesya did not want to leave quickly. He had to make sure the girl would not destroy the feelings of his best friend. As Nesya expected, Sarah talked spoiled to her old friend. The girl with a very sickening face for Nesya was used to talking to Rajendra.

Nesya could have laughed so hard if she had forgotten that she was in the real world. Rajendra is busier with her phone than Sarah is complaining. Sarah is also one of the committee because she is in the OSIS organization. So he can get here not without reason.

Rajendra must have been more worried about Ignacia who was somehow and how she was doing than Sarah who just complained about her face that looked huh, Nesya did not want to really listen to the complaints of the woman.

"I heard Sarah had a fight with her lover for quite a heavy reason. Maybe she approached Rajendra just to make her lover even more angry. Yeah, you know, maybe just to draw attention." Nesya remembered the words of a friend on the third night.

"If you mess with my best friend's life, I won't forgive you, Rajendra."

Nesya finally completely left, returning to her friends who rested elsewhere. He better trust the Chairman MPK than to keep watching.

Someone ran towards Nesya. "Nesya, have you seen Sarah?" The person asked while circulating his gaze, "i searched for it in the area of ldks but have not found it."

"The committee's inn," Nesya replied coldly then left.

...*****...

"How was the book signing? Was fun? Well I want to go there," Nesya called, wanted to make sure her best friend was okay, "what are you doing in the neighboring city?"

"I met a new friend, you wouldn't believe if I could socialize with another human being. Rajendra just can't believe it when I tell you."

Ignacia sounded very happy. His heart must be very flowery and his head is filled with pleasant things. It's good to know if Ignacia had a good experience despite going alone.

On the other end of the phone, Ignacia really said a lot. More than usual. Starting from train tickets, meetings with new friends, signing events, and even about Rajendra who suddenly appeared and drove him home. The man himself was exhausted.

A smile appeared on Nesya's face. He delays playing with his beloved cat to listen to all of Ignacia's stories. He is grateful that Ignacia did not know about Sarah and Rajendra still gives all his affection for his good friend.

"At least nothing has changed from their relationship," her inner self is happy.

Even until Nesya's beloved cat Mia rises to the lap of her owner, Nesya will still listen carefully to everything Ignacia says. He should be the first to know about his friend's mood. So that Ignacia does not return to hide her feelings from the world.

"It looks like I have to meet this Tata. He sounds like a warm person" Nesya responded.

Now Nesya slightly divided her attention with Mia as well. Poor him too wants to be noticed. Since then the owner is still chatting with his friend until he forgets Mia.

"Next time I want to bring you two together. But it's weird. Set up a person who is very open to me. We just met. Isn't that weird?"

Nesya also felt strange since Ignacia told him that Tata had a lover. People usually won't share their relationship with someone that easily. It feels like Tata and Ignacia are old friends.

"Maybe it's because she already believes in you, Ignacia."

"That's possible. By the way how's the ldks show? I want to know what you're doing." Oh Ignacia deflected the subject.

"Yes-Like that."

Nesya told me now. Starting from the first day, to how he was picked up by his parents and grandmother once using a car on the last day. Nesya was tired, but was even invited to eat outside. Though Nesya wanted to go to sleep immediately after finishing the bath.

There is an intention to tell about Rajendra, the daily life of the man, and share photos to make Ignacia's heart flowery. But everything Nesya uncovers. The fear of the question Ignacia asked instead made her have to say all things.

Better avoided.

"By the way, Rajendra looks like he will have more free time after his position is shifted. The new MPK leader has been appointed, now he is an ordinary student. I can't wait for the next days."

"Yes, you're right. Rajendra now will not be busy. I wish I could see him often."

"Remember that you are still one school, Ignacia. You'll be able to meet him more often."

...*****...

Ignacia received many lectures from her father and mother upon her return from book signing events. Of course everything her parents said was something Ignacia already knew. His phone should continue to turn on, give word, answer calls from parents. But Ignacia doesn't want her vacation to go to waste.

After all his dealings with the humans were done, as well as the call from Nesya that ended thirty minutes ago, Ignacia slowly began to return to her own world. The new book he bought today really pleased him.

Her day becomes even more interesting due to Rajendra's presence at the station and her chance to kiss her lover before getting into the house. Luckily, his father knew nothing. Ignacia wouldn't tell her about this either, or Athira. Let it be that only Ignacia and Rajendra know about this.

"Sister," a call from someone outside the door distracts Ignacia. The owner of the room gave permission to the outside to open the door. Arvin appeared with something in both of his hands.

"Wouldn't you eat cake? Mama made brownies and just ripe. It tastes good because I also put in a lot of choco chips."

Arvin stepped in when he saw the nod from his brother. He placed a plate of brownies on the nightstand of the eldest brother after getting the order.

"What book did you read?" His attention was drawn to the book with an interesting cover in Ignacia's hands.

"New novel book. Thanks for the Brownies, Arvin."

"Why do you always read books?"

One plain question glides seamlessly from Arvin's little lips. It seems that he was really curious about the habits of his brother who always read something in the form of a book. Moreover, the page is definitely not a little. Her book changes every time she finds her brother in the room.

"Hm, how do you say that?" Ignacia pretended to think, "you don't need to know, Arvin. You won't be interested in listening to brother's explanation." Ignacia gave her best smile and gave the code to her sister out of her room.

...*****...

"It's hot today." In Sarah's right hand there's a small fan just finished in the cas. He deliberately came there to meet Rajendra who was busy with a mobile phone. He needs someone to listen to.

"You're not tired? Why do you look so tense?" Sarah doesn't like to be ignored by men.

"It's none of your business" cold Rajendra. His mind was only on Ignacia who had somehow been there.

"You had a fight with Ignacia?"

"It's none of your business, Sarah."

Rajendra has tried to hold back his patience. But Sarah kept fishing by saying that quarrels between lovers were natural. Rajendra feels disturbed and chooses to leave while carrying his cell phone, leaving Sarah still talking.

"Rajendra, you like her too much" murmured Sarah, "you must know what it's like to have a fight with Ignacia. But why do you like him so much? You're not afraid Ignacia will leave you."

Sarah leaned against the wall. He no longer wears the little fan in his hand. "I want to like someone without fear. It's not my first relationship, but the more days I don't want to give everyone my heart."

"Can't you tell me how?"

...*****...

School day back. It's time to re-fill the already light head with plenty of other material. The first day is still long. I don't know what the teachers are doing in the teacher room, which is clear some of the compulsory teachers of the 12th grade are not coming.

Ignacia enjoyed the day by reading novels alongside Nesya who was more interested in online comics on mobile. Both are just silent and drifting in their respective activities. They were quite tired from meeting other humans after a pleasant holiday.

"Ignacia, someone's looking for you."

A notice came from someone who was near the door. Distracting Ignacia from the novel. There was a sense of laziness to come because the code from someone who called him earlier said that someone who was looking for him was in front of the class.

I don't know who that is. He's standing by the door.

"Oh?" Ignacia was surprised to see who was coming. The friend who called earlier knew about Ignacia's relationship with her lover. So he walked away from the door and smiled to tease Ignacia. But why did Rajendra come?

"Why are you here?" Confused Ignacia.

"I want to give you this," he presented a small paper bag with a happy smile, "yesterday I thought of you and wanted to buy you something. Oh yes, as a thank you for celebrating my birthday earlier."

Ignacia chuckled, "it sounds like you're making a lot of it. If you want to give something away, it's best to go home, Rajendra." Now the paper bag has moved into Ignacia's hands.

"Why?" Rajendra became somewhat sad, "I want to look like a good lover to you."

"I understand. But it's better if no one sees it."

"Are you ashamed to date me?"

The atmosphere turned uncomfortable. Ignacia looked at me with a guilty look. That's not what he meant.

"We've been together a long time, you're getting bored and don't like me anymore?" Rajendra is in a bad mood now.

"What's that empty omong, Rajendra? I just don't like it when people stare at us."

Many of Rajendra and Ignacia's friends have been staring at them. Looking while teasing the two who were rarely seen together. Old couple cold yet warm inside. Ignacia isn't ready to regain the seductive ingredients after the holidays.

"Ah right," Rajendra only realized, "pardon me."

"It's okay. Thanks for the snack."

...*****...

"What do you see?" Nesya looked at Ignacia strangely, looking around for what might be the center of attention of Ignacia outside the classroom. The one who caught Nesya's eye was Rajendra who was near her class. The person next to him was in love.

"Feby's got to talk to Rajendra when he gets home? He made me think that the two were planning to go home together. Hah, I'm worried about myself being too worried." Ignacia was still fixated on the mediocre human scene there.

"Rajendra is not an easy man, Ignacia."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sure you know Rajendra always had principles. And when he has principles, Rajendra will never break them. From what I see, Rajendra has decided not to accept his parents' request. He didn't want to get too close to Feby."

"But still," Ignacia let out a long breath, "I can't feel ordinary. Though I really wanted to see Rajendra do a piggy bank with women, so that I could disturb him. But I'm worried."

Nesya looked at her friend. Just let Ignacia think Feby is dangerous even if the odds are very, very small. What's important is that he can't know about Sarah and Rajendra when I'm in those days. Your best friend doesn't have to know everything. Rajendra seems to think so.

"Falling in love is hard, Ignacia."
