Annoying Ex-Boyfirend
Roll Mat

No more the sound of spatula rubbing against the pan, the smoke billowing, and the delicious aroma that makes people swallow when they smell it. Halcyon was over when Jayden decided to take off the neon lights bearing the name of his family's restaurant. Leaving memories so stifling. He who was now sitting on one of the chairs and accompanied by the light of the lamp looked softly around. In times like this, this place was crowded. Now, however, he could even hear the ticking of clockwork attached to the wall.

All because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Jayden hates. Because of the coronavirus, he had to lose his mother and not long after that his father went out of nowhere. Jayden knew the man was devastated after losing his beloved wife. However, didn't the man think that there were still his children who needed him?

Jayden was stunned by the daydream when his iPhone rang. A message from her sister Joanne was displayed on the screen.

[Ko, is there any semester money?]

Without thinking the long-eyed man typed a reply. Jayden sold his father's car. It was the only way that her sister would not have to apply for college leave so that she could graduate on time. After all, the car was time to pay taxes. So, instead of increasing expenses, it is better to sell it.

Moving out of his chair, Jayden opened a refrigerator that contained only drinking water. He took one of the bottles, and he drank a few sips to wet his dry throat.

Jayden's phone came back as he was just getting out of the place. This time it is not a message or a call, but rather a reminder of one year he was in a relationship with a girl he had broken his heart with.

"Vilan ...." Jayden mumbled the name in his heart. She was supposed to spend a romantic evening with her boyfriend tonight. But the truth is other. Jayden could only smile. I felt sad every time I remembered that night. The night where he ends his relationship with Zevanna unilaterally.

"I don't want to break up, Jay."

Those beautiful eyes look teary. Jayden was eager to hold the girl in his arms and said that he did not want that to happen either. But circumstances forced him. The man's life is different now. Jayden doesn't have time to have fun. He had to work hard to be able to finance his life and also his sister.

In the cold of the air tonight, Jayden drove his bike. The bustling streets, were very inversely proportional to his lonely mood. After a nearly twenty-minute drive, Jayden turned his motorcycle into an apartment building. Yes, since her parents are not around and her sister also goes to college outside the city, she rarely goes home.

As soon as he arrived on the floor of his destination, Jayden entered after pressing the pass code. Like his own apartment, he was so free in that place.

Jayden had just landed his ass in the kitchen bar when he heard the sound of people vomiting. Soon he went to the source of the voice and found his friend's face was already very pale.

"Why lo?"

Thomas shook his hand, asking Jayden, who was standing in the doorway, to get out of the way. Only after he sat back on the bed did Thomas say, "It is very important that you come. My stomach acid's rising. Lo buyin equal medicine food, dong. If you can eat some kind of porridge so let's just eat it."

"Lo can't, yes, ask for help not use a very hot pot?"

"Whisper you like a girl! Gih, go. I'm dead, this is."

"Dead, the." Jayden laughed wickedly before then passing from Thomas's room.

It did not take long, the man had returned with two plastic bags containing medicine and satay. "See, eat!" He put the two parcels in front of Thomas who had moved to the front of the TV.

"Bucaine, cake. Didn't you see lemes gini?"

Disgusted Decak came out of Jayden's mouth. Thomas, if he is sick, will defeat women. "Such a ntar who became lo's wife. Having a spoiled husband, it's no use!"

"Well, 'that's the adek lo who's going to be my bini."

Whether serious or not, Jayden didn't think much of it. Although so far he has never seen Thomas close to other women, other than his sister. Compared to him, Thomas also more often take Joanne from boarding to the house and vice versa. Maybe Jayden should thank his friend, but if the way to give his blessing, Jayden thought first.

"Lo if not strong ngunyah satenya let me. Lo lontongnya."

"No nutrition, dong! Lagian you think I'm grandpa to eat satay aja not strong." Thomas grumbling. He took half the satay, while the rest he left at the table with the intention that Jayden spent it.

Jayden was lazy to respond again. While waiting for Thomas to finish eating, he grabbed a PlayStation stick not far from him.

Many times Jayden lost because his concentration was not on the screen in front of him. The man's mind went crazy, looking for a solution about what work can be done so that the finances are a little better after months of just relying on savings plus now the money from selling cars.

"Lo why else, Jay?" thomas asked after finishing satay that did not taste good because of its bitter tongue. "The matter of Joanne's semester money? As a good husband, I want to, really, pay."

Jayden Kontan flicked his tail. "I paid, really."

"Tell?"

"Hmm .. I sell car bokap."

"WHAT?!" Thomas was so surprised that he stood up.

Jayden looked suspiciously at Thomas's overactive behavior. "Lo really hurts, doesn't he?"

"That's it!" Thomas won't take it. Thomas' mischievousness, he never reasoned to be sick either during school or other activities. Fear quality. "By the way, Jay. I'm sick. Do you want to change me to be a photographer at a wedding?"

Yes, one of the things that makes Jayden very familiar with Thomas is because they have the same hobby. The difference is, until now Jayden still continues to make photography as a hobby, while Thomas makes it a source of income.

"Can you play that change?"

"May, than me maksa set out and the results even ugly 'kan berabe."

"When's she?"

"Malem in Diamond Hotel ballroom. I'll call Indra to confirm if you want."

"OK, deh."

"Good." Thomas nodded, then took the medicine. "Gue sleep first, yeah. Sate lo abisin is okay."

"Emang wants me to eat. I bought it, shucks!" Jayden throws a PlayStation Thomas stick, then grabs satay on a plate and eats it.
