Jully Mahardika
Ep. 38 Setting the Heart

Jully sat in the corner of her bedroom window, looking out. The drizzle is beautiful tonight, the cold breeze touches Jully's skin, which is just wrapped in a knee-length relaxed dress without arms. Usually Jully does not like the rain, she just likes the smell of the ground after the rain falls. But tonight somehow the rain is so beautiful in Jully's eyes, maybe the rain seems to understand his sadness today? He let out a long sigh, remembering what happened this morning at school. He didn't expect Wicky to do that, Wicky remembered not being that kind of person. Nosy Wicky, ignorant Wicky, cheerful Wicky, who keeps smiling even though he knows Wicky will wait for him until Jully looks up and smiles for him. Wicky won't be sneaky about anything because Wicky knows Jully hates that. But in her current life why doesn't Jully find the things she remembers about Wicky that she used to know? Is there something Jully missed first? There are so many questions that touch Jully's mind at this time. Jully accepts that she is now back and living in her past. He believes God sent him back to improve his life in the past and one of them is to be closer and more lenient to Wicky, mend his relationship with the man because he does not want to repeat it into a friend zone relationship in the future. But what is planned is not always as smooth as what is expected. Whether since when his feelings for Wicky were getting eroded more and more, there was no vibration and a pounding heart like the one he felt before. And now after seeing for yourself what the man did was just the disappointment left in Jully's heart. Where's the rest of the heart left for Wicky? Or maybe this was God's answer to him, what he could not see before now was plastered in front of his eyes. The rain is getting heavier now, there is no sign of stopping, it will probably be falling all night. Jully cradled her body with both arms hugging, she felt the air getting colder and finally chose to move away from her bedroom window. He walked up to his desk drawer, opened it and took something from inside. A bracelet he received from Cancer Boy a few days ago. Jully looked at the bracelet fixedly, her lips curving into a smile.

"Why did I realize that you and Mr. W is the same person? Why didn't you say it from the beginning? Do you want me to find you myself? It's the same way you give me a puzzle. You bad guy! But why can't I be mad at you?" Jully spoke to herself as if she was talking to the bracelet-giver.

Jully pinned the bracelet on her left wrist. He decided to wear the bracelet from now on and hoped he could soon find the pair of bracelets that the mysterious crab man was carrying. As the day wore on, Jully chose to climb into her bed, immersing herself in her blanket. Sleep is a very effective thing to kill the fatigue he feels, forget for a moment what happened today. Tomorrow will give her new hope. Jully began to blink her eyes, slowly her breathing began to regularly signify she was completely asleep.

🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓

This morning Jully chose to go to bed again after performing the morning prayers and woke up after the time showed. 09.00 morning. Long enough to rest his weary body from all sorts of thoughts. At least this morning the body was refreshed and his mind was clear. There was also no cry from his mother to tell him to wake up in the morning because it was Sunday. Yep... Jully is grateful enough for that, all day she can keep her heart and mind off of all the worst she's ever experienced yesterday. He got out of his bed, got out of the room and headed for the bathroom to clean himself up. Almost thirty minutes he was in the bathroom until he came out with a fresher state, his wet long hair dried potluck with a towel. Jully returns to her room and pegs herself in front of the mirror. He cursed his face now which looked pitiful. Was it just because yesterday's difficult day could instantly make his face so dull, his eyes were not as moist as yesterday only looked a little smelly and his cheeks looked a bit swollen. Ohh at a time like this she misses her skin care. Yes, fortunately, he still has a facial moisturizer that reduces dullness on his face and a little sprinkling of powder will improve the appearance of his face at this time. Next he opened his wardrobe, choosing the clothes he would wear today. Hot pant combined with a white t-shirt as his top is his choice, making himself look fresher and more relaxed. The plan is today Jully wants to contact her friends to invite them to meet. He knew for sure they had been very worried since yesterday, today he was ready enough to tell everything, anyway for what too saved this sadness? It will damage his brain if too long washed away in sadness that does not bring good for him. But Jully is too lazy to leave the house, she will ask her three friends to gather at her house only. Jully picks up her phonsel lying on top of her bedroom nightstand, opening a chat for the four of them.

^^^Jully:^^^

^^^For guys.... Sorry for all of you worrying, can you gather at my house right now, right?^^^

Does not take long, incoming message notifications immediately sound understated.

Chansari:

Alkhamdulillah beb you have realized, okay I cuuuss right now.

Ningsih:

Eh Sarijem! She thought Jully fainted whatever conscious wear all. Sip immediately ready otw.

Chansari:

Shirk! 😛

Reres:

Ready madam! 😄

Jully smiles at the replies of the chat from the three who always make her grateful still given a chance to stay closer to them regardless of what will happen in the future. Jully will spend the rest of her time with them as long as she can, for it is not until when God will return the time lent to her. Maybe later or tomorrow he will go back to the future, where he should be. Who knows?

Jully came out of her room to the kitchen to fill her tummy. He didn't eat well enough yesterday and now his stomach feels very hungry. Arriving in the kitchen he found Enin sitting at the dining table scooping food from the plate in front of him. From the look of his face and appearance of his older sister who looks still disheveled hair is certainly a woman who was adrift five years on it was also waking up misfortune like him.

"Bak Enin woke up and ate? definitely not shower. Ihhhhhhhhhhhh!" Jully's ejek to her sister.

"Biarin, hungry, eat too. Sunday is free! Independence day for us wind seekers." Enin replied casually while feeding the fried rice back to his mouth.

"Yes whatever, as long as you are happy (Originally you are happy)." Jully said as she nodded her head to hear her sister's slightly lovable speech. He chose to take a plate and fill it with fried rice and egg ceplok and then feed in his mouth. Ahh he felt fried rice and eggs plump today feels more delicious than usual mother made, maybe this is the influence of hunger or maybe because his heart can now accept the situation.

"You deck tumben on Sunday gini already neat, usually also will not take a bath all day until afternoon. Where you headed?" Ask Enin on the sidelines.

"Not anywhere, just a moment more my friends come to play here." Jully replied after sipping water to wet her throat before resuming her breakfast.

"Ooh..." Reply Enin while mangosteen.

"Ohh yes mbak, from now on how lonely huh? just the two of us, mom and dad where?" Jully asks after realizing there is no sign of her parents at home who usually gather on Sundays.

"Mother's coming to the reunion of her high school friends." Answer Enin.

"Said mom not to the restaurant kok, the show at one of the father's friends' houses." Enin said straighten out.

"Yes, it's still a good meal." Reply Jully Deheman responded from the brother.

After eating, Enin put the dishes and glasses just like that in the kitchen sink.

"When you're done, don't forget to wash the dishes." Tell Enin to his sister.

"Kok I was also the one washing the mbak parts anyway?" Jully protested while weaving her mouth.

"Because it was already making fried rice with egg ceploknya, now it's your turn to finish the dirty dishes." Enin replied casually as he stepped away leaving Jully who was still a henchman at the dining table with a funny gawking face.

"Huh? So all this mbak Enin masakin? Wahh severe mother, not masakin his son even mince his own equally father." Jully murmured while looking at the fried rice on her plate that was half left.

Forty-five minutes later Jully awaits the arrival of her three friends. They finally came one by one.

"How long are you guys?" Jully asked after they sat down in the living room.

"And buy a snack first beb, he said in your house again there is no food to be piled." Kansari answered while showing two large bags full of food she bought from the supermarket the way to Jully's house.

"Waw how much did you buy?" Jully to wonder, how much food will be all gone?

"We're the four of us." Answer Rere.

"Can we finish that much?" Jully asked doubtfully.

"Silent.... There will be baby elephant ready to finish if it does not run out hehe..." Seloroh Kansari lightly while patting Ningsih's shoulder which was answered by Ningsih's plot. Jully forgot that her plump best friend loved to eat.

"Part of it's not just bebs, there's drinks too." Kansari took out one by one the contents of one of the plastic bags.

"There's also a face mask." Continue while removing some face masks with a fluffy smile.

"Tok you buy a face mask too, Sar?" Ask Rere confused.

"Yes for us to wear... Gini yes, the girl needs treatment so that the same skin face is not kusem, so that others look at us also seger, can also relax themselves, can also relax themselves, because if we again stress our skin will also be stressed. Noh look Ningsih's face is still young already a lot of wrinkles." Kansari replied as she explained at length with her cherry mouth.

"Well, my face is full of wrinkles? Ngaco de Sarijem!" Ningsih directly held her face and growled bitterly at Sari. Haha... Ningsih is the one who got hit.

"Thank you Sarsar, I just happen to need a face mask. Because yesterday my face wasn't so good." Jully said with a frown.

"Ohh yeah, what's the story? You're ready to make a story for all of us?" Rere asked with a myriad of curiosity in his heart. Jully nodded too.

They sit in a circle, listening to all Jully's stories about what happened from her suspicions about Wicky to yesterday's events that proved Wicky's lie to Jully to the shock of the school cafeteria this morning. Hearing all Jully's stories makes Kansari, Rere and Ningsih angry. They cursed each other, cursing to curse Wicky with various words for his actions. Jully can only smile at the insults of her three best friends to Wicky. There was no longer an overflow of emotions in his heart because his emotions had run out he overflowing all day yesterday. He did not want to think about it any further, it would only make his mind tired. Jully has had enough patience in the future and here she will bury her first love and start rearranging her heart so that there will be no regrets in the future.

Seriate...
