Changing the Love of the Past
22

Me, Loly and Sita were looking for books in every corner of the library. But I never found her.

"Where did you put it?"

"So I was sitting here but the book wasn't there."

"If you put it here maybe accidentally the other kids took it. And if it falls, it falls not too far." Sita said while peeking under the table."

"Try you remember well maybe you missed it somewhere else." Loly.

I remember the last time I held the book. "Oh yes Alice."

"Alice?? Who?"

"No, that's not what I meant, I just hit someone and the book fell, I'm afraid he took it."

"We've been looking for that man." Take Loly.

Looking Alice? Just looking at his face I was lazy even though I was sure that I would see him again but for now I don't want to deal with him.

"Not to." I'm trying to make excuses.

"Are you going to rewrite it?"

"It's okay. I'll rewrite it. His duties after the new day handed over"

"Yes but...."

"What is this storm?" Sita stopped talking because Ms. Naya cut off our conversation.

"You know not the library's rules."

Bu Naya pointed to a poster with enlarged capital letters "FORBIDDEN STORM"

"From this moment I heard your voices. Come here instead of reading a book and talk." The three of us were embarrassed.

"If you don't have any business here you better get out." We can be rebuked like this. I looked around and all eyes were on us.

"Look ma'am, we're looking for a book of forgetfulness but when I go to the table I sit the book is no longer there."

"What's your name?"

"Dinda ma'am."

"The hubby? Follow me!" The three of us followed Naya's steps to her desk. Ms. Naya took a book from the closet and it was my book. Miss Naya gave the book to me. "Is this your book?"

"Yes, this is my book. Thanks mom." Ms. Naya just nodded.

"There was a student who sent her to her mother. He said he found the book on the library doorstep. Next time don't be so late."

"Sorry mom, thank you. Excuse me first." The three of us left the library.

"It's a good thing the guy had a brilliant idea, handing your book over to Naya's mom. So we don't have to bother looking for the person who hit you earlier. And you're not rewriting either." True said Sita, fortunately Alice did not bring my book.

I waved to Loly and Sita as the car that Jodi was carrying left the schoolyard.

I got off as soon as the car arrived at the yard. Mr. Jodi is back in the office.

"Siang Ma, "I approached the mama who was sitting in the living room fiddling with her HP. I kissed both cheeks of mama as a form of my love for her.

"Jodi ma, after driving me Jodi sir back to the office."

"Oh that's it." Mama nodded in understanding.

"Yes ma'am, I went upstairs first ya." I walked up the stairs to my room. I immediately changed into my uniform. I lay down for a while while opening my HP contents. The sound of the incoming call shocked me. I stared at the name on the HP screen with a smile.

"What's up?"

"Wouldn't you come with us?"

"Where?"

"We intend to take you to a painting exhibition. Coincidentally my brother also showed off his art."

I almost forgot that today is an art exhibition. Brother Devan, his brother Loly is a very good painter.

"Where?" A voice came from across the phone waiting for my answer.

"But like her my mama didn't let me out the night." I used to ask permission from my mom and my mom, but they forbid me.

"Oh, that's okay...See you tomorrow at sek...."

"Eh wait..wait!" I stopped Loly from deciding on her call.

"You can't pick me up."

"Aren't you sure mom is the same papa you allowed?"

"You just come."

"Well, I'm gonna borrow my brother's bike to pick you up."

"But I have a request."

"What?"

"Your motorbike is parked a little far from my house."

"Yes, I'll be at about 8 and a half I'll come get you."

I went downstairs after Loly turned off her phone.

"Why are you so long?"

"That's why my friend called."

"Of..." I was still standing facing my mother. I want to ask for real permission, who knows in this life mama gave me permission.

"Aren't you eating?"

"Eat my ma."

"Why are you still standing there?"

"That's ma, there's actually something I want to say." I put on a face.

"So whatever you say, mama will listen." Mama said, stopping her activities. Mom put her phone next to the couch.
