Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 235

The rainbow looked riled up but also upset to hear Joe's curse as if he did not believe it. This is never expected, Exelle's attitude is more ridiculous and courageous even though she knows who Joe is today.

"Come on, we need to talk to both."

Rainbow snorted, he looked at Joe's face then turned to look at Exelle's face which threw a grinning smile at him.

"Ex, can you go first? I need to talk to my girlfriend, you can go back to see my mom inside."

"But..."

"Heh, you. It's none of your business, I need to talk to my boyfriend. It's our problem, do you need to be that quick, huh?"

"Joe!!! Where are you going again? Are you leaving me again?" Mary is approaching them.

"Pff... Look, is it really going to be alone after this?" Exelle lirih.

"Mary, I have to go with the rainbow."

"Can't!!! I have to come."

"Mary, don't make me angry."

"I don't care!!!" Maria cetus.

"OK, okay. Looks like there's nothing more we should talk about, Joe, you better finish this spoiled kid. I'm afraid to watch him linger in front of me,"

"Hey, what do you mean? I just don't want to let Joe with a plan woman like you."

"You're saying I'm Plinplan?"

"Hemm, the proof is that you went with Exelle secretly."

"Mery! Come on pliss... What the hell are you saying? I met him here by accident." Reply Exelle firmly.

"Shut up!!! I knew you'd defend him."

"Mary, can you just shut up and not interfere anymore?" This time Joe was really upset about Maria's attitude.

"Joe, you're evil. And since last night you were good, you've accompanied me to sleep."

"Repeat. Let's go with me, "Joe drew Rainbow's hand and tried to divert Maria's words just now. But not with Rainbow so sensitive to Mary's words until now he looked intently at Joe.

"Near that you?" Ask Rainbow.

"Come, Langi. It's not what you think, you know Maria likes to talk."

"You better go home Joe, I don't want to fight anymore." Answer Rainbow by turning her body back into the mall.

"Congratulations bro, it looks like this time I'll win her heart." Exelle whispers grinning.

"Rangi, wait!!!" Joe forces to chase Rainbow back. The rainbow continued to walk ignoring him, until the rainbow steps stopped when it arrived before me who was standing with Abel.

"Son.." Call me confused when I see her so upset, Joe is chasing her from behind and nudging each other with Exelle.

"Joe, what's the matter baby?" Abel asked in a panic.

"Ma, let's go home now." Take the rainbow with a cold attitude.

"Repeat... Pliss," Joe still tries to seduce her, but in a cold manner the Rainbow ignores him.

"Son, what's going on?" Ask me back.

"Come on, Ma. We go home now yuk, Rainbow tired."

I looked at my daughter's face, which was clearly visible, she was holding back the mounting anger. I'm sure this time he's having some complicated trouble with Joe, or maybe with that girl named Maria.

"Tante, Joe beg you to..."

"Shhh... Let the rainbow calm down, yes, we should go home first." I interrupted, said Joe, begging to keep talking to Rainbow.

"But aunt..."

"Abel, me and Rainbow go home first." My pamphlet to Abel.

"Fanny, come on.. It's a kids' business. Let them finish both. That'd be better,"

" Aunty, sorry. Me and Joe are fine, '" Denied the Rainbow.

"But, Son.."

"Mommy, Rainbow is angry with me. He misunderstood, Mi."

"Pff... What kind of guy likes to say that, spoiled really." Exelle mocked him.

Joe curses him with a witty look. I could only shake my head at the behavior of these children, while the Rainbow had been seen sniffing a deep breath since then.

And in the end I decided to go home. Rainbow can no longer be invited to cooperate with the situation even though Joe continues to beg him.

🌻🌻🌻

At home, Rainbow entered his room. I couldn't stop him from talking for a moment, or at least become his outpouring.

A rainbow threw his body on the bed. He slid his face on the pillow, re-imagining what he had seen earlier.

"Aaaarg... Stupid me, I shouldn't be jealous of that spoiled chick. But Joe, he was looking at her differently when he was joking. Until he accompanied her to sleep, was it not outrageous?"

Not long after, Rainbow's phone vibrated. She swiftly grabbed him, in her mind and hope was Joe who called her. But it turns out that the new mobile number he knew belonged to Exelle.

The rainbow put the phone back on the bed, a moment later it rang back. A short message on her phone screen was seen from the new number that called her earlier.

I want to talk to you for a second, you fierce chick. Please pick up my phone.

"Well, what else?"

Exelle called him back. By being forced to accept Rainbow because if not, Exelle will continue to tease him without pause.

"Well.. Finally, you got my phone call, you're a bad girl." He complained on the end of his phone.

"Aaah. okay. Miss Rainbow, tell me are you okay?"

"Don't call me miss again, just Rainbow. You're such a bitch!!!"

"Hahaha, jeez. All right, I'm sorry."

"Did you call me just to ask that?"

"No, I really want to know if you're okay?"

"You think?" The rainbow throws a question back at Exelle.

"I think you're currently cursing, you're indistinctly angry and maybe you're crying."

"Hey, I'm not that weak just because of my jealousy. Oops," The rainbow touched both of his lips that clenched instantly. He felt that he had unintentionally revealed what he was feeling.

"Hahaha, right my guess. You're jealous of Mery, oh my gosh."

The rainbow was silent without a sound. Make Exelle immediately divert her speech so that the rainbow is not sad.

"Roof, don't be sad or angry anymore. You have to stay cheerful and upbeat, don't lose. You have to be like me, look.. Even though I don't have parents, I always smile cheerfully to cheer up the people closest to me. Therefore, I do not give up chasing you. Hehe,"

"Curtain, what the hell? You're taunting me?"

"No, I'm talking as is so you don't feel sad anymore. Just do what will make you happy, and if you feel what you currently have is seized by someone. You have to defend it if it's appropriate, if it's not... Unleash it. That's better,"

"You don't know anything, don't cross your line."

"Yes yes, fine. Um, do you like to read comic books?"

Exelle asked back, trying to get more familiar with the Rainbow.

"Ehm... I like it, but I prefer a variety of science books on medicine."

"Waow, great!!! But unfortunately, I hate that profession."

"Hey, you insulted me. I'd love to be a great doctor later,"

"My mom was a doctor, she was a great doctor. But instead he was not helped and could save his own life, also with my father."

The rainbow flinched, he felt a little sad imagining Exelle's position this time.

"I'm sorry if that's your reason, but about the profession of a doctor... Life is not an easy thing that can be solved only with medical status. It's God's business, the doctor's profession is just his mediator. So, you don't have to hate the doctor's profession."

"Gee... You're so chatty, do you love that profession so much and want to be a great doctor?"

"Hmm, since childhood it was my dream. Then when you're sick don't you need a doctor?"

"I rejected it, I prefer herbal treatment only. I don't want to make myself sad just because I keep remembering the passing of my father and mother."

The rainbow was stunned to hear him, for a moment he was pensively distant. Thinking about Exelle's position since childhood, of course she was so difficult.

"Hello, hello... Hey, you bad girl. Oops, Pe-rangi. Are you still there?"

"Ah, yes. Sorry, um... If you already know what profession I want now, what ideals I want to achieve, then why are you so forced to know me."

"I don't care. I just feel like if you're different, you're funny, you're innocent, even though you're a little fierce and cold, but I feel like you're the only one capable of rivaling my madness."

"How many times do I have to explain, I already have a boyfriend."

"Can't you just break up with her? He doesn't deserve you. Even he'd rather spoil Mery, did you forget that?"

"You're too involved. I'm just gonna trust Joe, my girlfriend."

"If you believed it, you wouldn't have chosen to go home just like that. Hahaha, but honestly I really like to see your girlfriend is confused like that. I managed to get him ignited by the flames of jealousy."

"You're a bitch. I'm gonna turn off the call, you're just pissing me off."

Click!!!

The rainbow really turned off Exelle's call. He realized that in fact, in his heart, he began to doubt because of the jealousy that had mastered it. Seeing Joe who is always followed by Maria wherever she goes, makes her uncomfortable. Moreover, Mary's attitude is so spoiled and flirtatious on Joe.

Her phone shook again, a short message from Exelle. Who said sorry to him for bullying her since.

Tok tok...

I knocked on the door of Rainbow's room then, as a mother who had a teenage child like her at this time, I felt uneasy if I just kept quiet just let it go, while his mood is currently I'm sure it's chaotic. At the very least, my role should also be able to be a good friend to him.

"Rainbow, mama bring strawberry juice. Do you want to?"

Looks like this way will manage to bribe him later.

Not long after the door opened, the rainbow looked shabby and lazy. Her neatly arranged hair was now like a bird's nest.

"Mom can come in?" I hesitated, slightly leaning my head behind the door of her room.

"By, Ma. The origin of the juice is really for the Rainbow,"

I immediately stepped into his room when the Rainbow had agreed. Then put a glass of his favorite juice, then I stabbed it on the mini sofa near his bed.

The rainbow immediately sipped my artificial juice, then let out a long sigh leaning against the back of the sofa near me.

"Easy?"

"Hem, you mean mama?" Rainbow asked a little surprised looking at me but she quickly switched back.

"Ehm... Mama was young, too."

"Curtain, mama. Yes, Rainbow knows, mama was once young and definitely the prettiest. Then papa really loves Mama and also... About Kevin, hahaha."

"Hi, you bad boy." I was so embarrassed that maybe my face was red when my own daughter teased me like that.

"Hahaha, my God." The answer is by showing two index and middle fingers parallel marked 'salam ami'
