Exactly at 14:00. Tunas Bangsa High School bell rang three times. Signs the lesson hours are over. The disciples scattered out like ducks that had just been taken out of their cages. Free release.
Mike walked towards the parking lot, the guy was about to take his motorcycle.
"Mike!"
Mike's smile spread wide when he heard Ella calling his name. And she was so grateful that today Ella was no longer with that shit cockroach.
"What is Shiella Allycia?" asked Mike in a seductive tone.
The two faced each other, Ella looked at Mike with a hard to decipher gaze.
"Gue wants it to be the same! Why did you keep me?"
Mike fell silent then raised one eyebrow. He spread his gaze throughout the school while sniffing like he was looking for the smell of something.
"****! you stink, La." Mike switched the conversation.
"Huh? Which really?" Ella raised her hand and sniffed her armpits to see if it was true what Mike had said.
"No smell. My man sprayed my whole body with paris perfume, even ampe a bottle. Isssh.. Lo boongin me?" Ella pinched Mike's stomach, causing the man to grimace in pain.
"Ampe a bottle? Not a lot of hate?"
"No need to talk? Now you ngaku! Why did you need me to be the same Reinan?" ask Ella again.
"Diddeliver! Who is following you too? It's just a coincidence we met. My guy's here because Carissa likes the same place." Lying Mike. Ella gritted her teeth when Mike mentioned the flirtatious woman's name.
"Eh btw, the ****** cockroach who likes to play the same way you go? How can I not smell the smell of the stool?" Ella's eyes were perfectly rounded when Mike called Reinan '****** cockroach' so disrespectful!
"I remember the same with Mike Angelo. Do not mention Rei as ****** cockroach! It's not polite to know?!" Ella's Sweat. Mike laughed bitterly.
"Lo used to say it to me, I used to. But Rei's turn to be called impolite. Who did he make you?" Mike smiled in anguish.
"Oh I'm just inget, is he your girlfriend yah? Yes really. REINAN IS ELLA'S GIRLFRIEND... " Sindir Mike with great emphasis when saying the word 'Reinan is Ella's boyfriend'
"If so, why?" challenge Ella.
Mike choked on his saliva. Mike's hand was clenched right then and there.
His heart became hot. This feeling was so foreign to him. A new feeling was present in his heart. The pain. Well, as shown in Ella's story, this is jealousy. Mike shook his head quickly disposing of the illogical thoughts.
"Udah, mending now you go up. I'm anterin lo go home." Mike ordered.
Ella also complied.
-000-000-
Mike stopped his motorbike near a tree house surrounded by hills. Ella wanted to ask why Mike didn't bring her home? And even take him the other way. But Ella undoes her intentions and lets Mike ride the bike as he pleases. Honestly, Ella wants Mike to take her anywhere. Because with that guy he feels happy and comfortable.
And here they are. Above the tree house surrounded by a sea of trees and tea gardens. Actually this is the same as the tree house belonging to the nano-nano cekrek gang. It's just that the atmosphere here is cooler than theirs.
A smile was clearly drawn on Mike's face, now he was enjoying the fresh air while waiting for Ella who was still climbing the stairs.
One minute.
Two minutes.
Now Ella and Mike have been sitting on top of the tree house. Both of their legs were left to descend and swing.
Mike nodded, at a glance he looked at Ella's face that looked smiling as she looked at the scene in front of him.
" Hey,"
"Why Mike?"
"Gue's been reading your novel and I love the story."
Ella heard it. His gaze shone.
"Seriously you read it all? What's the story about?"
"Real stories, about us, right?"
Ella nodded with a smile.
"Thank you've written all the stories about us, I wonder what the ending will be."
"Gue can't make the ending yet. Because only you can make the ending look like how?"
"Gue wants to do the same thing, but you have to be honest."
"Ask aja. I've always been honest with Mike."
"Lo..." There's a break "Love with me?"
Hearing Mike's question, Ella fell silent.
One second
Two seconds.
With a throbbing heart Mike waited for Ella's reply.
"Gue... I´m... I´m... " Ella stammered.
"Gue what, La?"
"Gue lager Mike, I swear! There's no food here?"
Mike breathed a rough sigh, "Lo hasn't answered my question."
"What should I answer? If you know my answer, what do you want?"
"Gue wants to set the ending for our story."
For a moment Ella was silent looking at the guy who was also silent looking into her eyes.
"Lo know? I've read books, he says, one of the most dangerous things for friendship is when we ask for more from friends. When we start playing the heart. I'm afraid Mike, I'm afraid of my own answers."
"Why should you be afraid?"
"Nobody knows when love will come. But we always know when we should start."
"But you can start it. Now you just have to choose, you want to start or not?"
Ella smiled, "Mike, people say love is as simple as rain falling to the earth, even if it crashes it will still fall. So too with a bond of love. If we are meant to be together and love each other. He will still fall for the choice of the person he wants to love."
No one knows God's plan. Like this afternoon, Mike was thrilled to be spending time with Ella. Although he himself did not fully understand Ella's words. But he realized that love must be cultivated, not sought.
