#Move On, Jomb!
Chapter 5: Trouble life

...CHARACTERISTICS OF PEOPLE WHO FAIL TO MOVE ON...

...#Hopefully (can) reciprocate with an Ex...

..."Making friends with an Ex, without involving feelings, signifies the process of self-maturity." ...

...-mahesa...

After passing through the parking lot of students who are already deserted, only a few more motorized vehicles are left neatly lined up. Aul continued his steps towards the Satpam Post which was opposite the basketball court. Feeling heavy, Aul sends a message to Mahesa.

'Yes, pick me up in front of the security guard post? My feet are so lemes.'

A minute later, there was a reply from Mahesa.

'Janja bener! You want the cave to die now, huh?'

'Lebay, hunt! My stomach hurts.' Reply Aul quickly.

'Yes cave to it.'

Aul did not lie about his stomach, the mag he had indeed often came suddenly like now, let alone he did not eat properly this morning.

A black Kawasaki Z250 motorcycle stopped near the Bratajaya SMK gate. If it were not for Aul who was sick, Mahesh would have given himself up to seek death into the enclosure of his enemy.

Aul came to Mahesa limping, while holding her stomach that felt throbbing to make it difficult to breathe.

The full face helmet, as well as the maroon bomber jacket that covers the uniform issued, but not with his gray pants, prove the existence of Mahesa who is worthy of being valued by women, except by Aul. Because he already knows how dilapidated a Mahesa Wiradinata.

Aul immediately sat in the empty back seat. "Ck, your habits! Wear a cave jacket." Mahesa gives her jacket for Aul-agar to cover Aul's slightly raised grey skirt.

Aul accepts. "Sori, I forgot."

Mahesa did not heed Aul's words, she immediately put on her motorbike to leave the school grounds. Aul leaned his head against Mahesa's back, he closed his eyes while enduring the pain in his abdomen.

The grimacing of Aul makes Mahesa have to be completely focused on driving, even though she is extremely anxious. "You sure you can hold it till we get home? Don't you want to go to the clinic first?" haggard Mahesa.

Aul shook his head weakly. "No, Sa. We just go back, "he replied in a raucous voice.

"OK, but hold it. The cave wants to call it."

Aul tightened his grip on Mahesa who was now holding her body.

...•••...

Nusa Indah's elite housing became Aul's residence for almost two decades. Mahesa helps Aul to break her into a European-style minimalist home, with a courtyard filled with plants cared for by Aura.

Aura immediately approached the two when she saw her son's pale lips and face.

"Mag you're back to relapsing, right? Mama told you before, eat the real thing. It's gini." Aura took over the task of picking up her daughter. "Thank you, Sa. Fortunately there is you, if not, Auntie does not know how the fate of Auntie's children now."

"It's okay, Auntie. Then, I say goodbye first, afraid Mother is worried." Mahesa turned her head to Aul. "Get well soon" he said softly.

Only after arriving at his room did Aul lay down his body. Aura was busy making porridge for him. To soak his pain, Aul took a sip of the warm water that Aura had given him, until he did not realize that he was asleep because of fatigue.

At seven in the night, Aul awakens. The listless shrillness of his lips forced Aul to lean his body on the head of his mattress cot.

Aul glanced without interest a bowl of porridge that had been cold, mag pain relievers and warm water that had been fully filled on the clear glass. Aul understood, if he did not force himself to be able to emphasize food, drinks and a medicine that Aura had prepared, surely Aul would get a big scolding from the mother.

Therefore, after Aul finished half of his porridge and took a sip along with his medicine, he stepped foot into the kitchen to store his dirty bowl and glass.

"Aul's? How, is it healed? Why isn't it spent?" The consecutive questions from Aura were only answered briefly by Aul.

"The story is passing, Ma." Aul continued his steps into the kitchen, but there was one thing that stuck.

"Ma, why is Mama nyiapin snacking on the same drink? Any guests Papa?"

After arranging snacks and drinks on the tray, Aura answered her son's question. "You've been sleeping since, there's your Junior High School coming."

Aul followed Aura who was about to walk towards the living room, her forehead frowning in confusion. As he remembered he did not have an appointment with a Junior High friend who wanted to visit his house.

Usually Kaila comes, but she's at her grandmother's house right now. So, there's no way Kaila's coming.

"So Mama called Mahesa, thankfully you were in high school at Junior High. So Esa can nemenin your friend," added Aura.

Mahesa did not tell him if ... Aul forgot, he fell asleep for a long time and forgot to check his phone. Even Aul had just changed into his uniform.

Aul immediately reached into his phone. As he had expected, there were several messages filling his phone right now.

There is one foreign number that sends an ambiguous meaningful message.

'Hi, Hana? How are you?'

Aul assumes that the message may have come from an upperclassman who accidentally contacted him. A message from Mahesa that two received two hours ago.

'There's a guest, a kanget cave look at it.'

'Gua saranin, you don't go to the living room. You yourself will be ambyar.'

both legs are sluggish.

Aul's heart slipped, as his eyes intersected with Irlan's bead. The man smiled warmly, as if implying a longing as well as lara behind his bead.

Why was such a look that Irlan gave her!

"This is Aul, this is Iran and Esa has been waiting for you for a long time. Mama lives yes," said Aura while wiping the top of Aul's hair at a glance, then disappeared behind the family room.

Mahesa was surly, while Irlan seemed to sparkle at her. Aul sits clumsy on the sofa, near Mahesa.

There had not been a single two words started by them, all were silent. Letting the sound of television broadcasting a news and clockwork sound that buries a sense of desolation.

Until finally Mahesa stood up from her seat, making Aul also stand up. "Where are you going, Sa?" prevent Aul.

"Reverse, a long time here." It is obvious that Mahesa does not like the presence of Aul and Irlan in the same sphere, because it will only make Aul hurt.

Mahesa takes a quick glance at Irlan, then turns to Aul. "There's something you need to finish. Don't hesitate to give Irlan a punch if he messes around, cave back first."

Aul had prevented Mahesa from leaving, but failed. "GODOOO!" Even the voice of his call was ignored by Mahesa, Aul sighed in anger.

"Well, how are you?"

Aul's head turned perfectly to Irlan, Irlan called him with a call that used to be often used by them if exchanging greetings. Why does it feel different now?

There was a sense of tightness squeezed by happiness that Aul did not think, he even had to hold himself back extra so as not to cry in front of Irlan.

"A-I ... cave, fine."

"Sori if my arrival is sudden, there are things I need to talk about. You don't mind?"

If there were no Irlan at this time, Aul was sure that he would be prancing with excitement. Even his heart was pounding.

"Surely, no problem" he said nervously.

"It's .. about us." Irlan said so while locking Aul's gaze towards him.

"I know, ji-"

Irlan's speech paused because of the ringing sound from his phone. "Wait a minute."

It seemed to be calling from an important person, visible from Irlan's stunned face when he saw the name of the phone caller.

Five minutes later, part of Irlan's face was full of sweat like running a marathon. Her chest was a saucer, holding back the overflow of emotions with a slightly reddened face. He swept the key of the motor lying on the table in a hurry.

Aul was still confused, he did not have time to ask because Irlan had already left.

Go by saying a sentence that seems to be stuck in Aul's heart and mind.

"There's business I need to finish first. I thought you could keep my cell phone number that I've been addressing through your social media." Irlan pegged her warm smile at Aul, although her face was still full of uneasiness because of what.

"I like you now" said Irlan as she ruffled Aul's hair. "More gleeful and feminine."

Didn't you know that Irlan's actions had a bad effect on her feelings?

"Higher too, but still a leak, anyway. Haha, first yes. Greetings and thanks to Aunt Aura. I'll be here again, don't knock."

His smile, still Aul remembered. Even when Irlan's motorbike has moved from his yard. Aul held onto his chest that was still pounding violently.

"Gue has no history of heart disease, right?" his murmur involuntarily made an arch at the corner of his lips.

Is it wrong if Aul puts his hope in Irlan? Her attitude tonight made Aul like her lover back then.

His courage and effort to send a message to Aul is definitely not an easy matter. Especially with his intention to come here just because he wanted to explain - even though it stopped because of a sudden call from someone.

But Irlan promised her arrival again, right? Can he hope a little?

The euphoria that Aul was experiencing right now, he had to share with Kaila. Her best friend would be shocked by this news.

But again Aul found an online message from Mahesa, his heart hurt. Even in a short time, his heart had already broken again.

'Esa sent a photo'

'Chuck you crave it again go the same doi, don't expect much on him Aul. You only hurt yourself that way.'

'Grotto advice, it's okay if you want to meet the former. That's proof that you can mature and make peace with the past.'

'But basically, don't just believe in men.'

Messages from Mahesa and an image showing Irlan hugging a woman who was hugging Irlan's waist.

His heart broke again after he felt he was back close to Irlan. It turned out that Aul was just too confident to interpret Irlan's sweet attitude.

"I shouldn't be this stupid!" Aul stomped his feet in annoyance.

"Why should I fail to move on because of you anyway, Irlan Argara!" means tight.
