DISTURBING NEIGHBORS
30. The wrong taste

"Does? How are you doing? You're healthy, right?"

For a moment, Neska was stunned, this voice felt very familiar to her.

"K-okay Cean?" sahut Neska.

"Hmm, how's college? Smoothly?"

For whatever sake, now Neska wants to jump her hornbill.

But wait, how long will he and Cean not talk to each other? Six months? Not ... nearly eight months-since the time Neska decided to avoid this young man. In fact, when Neska visited the Cean residence for the first time, Cean was cold and indifferent. They also did not say hello, until Neska knew that Cean was in charge of her passport and departure, but there was still no conversation between them.

And now, Cean called her? It's like a miracle.

"Currently, K-sister," answered Neska at last. His tongue was heavy to speak. Although his heart wants and is very happy, but the logic seems to commemorate if his current existence in Singapore - also for the sake of forgetting Cean, right?

"Goodoo. I'd be happy if everything was really good."

"Hmm," said Neska not knowing what to say, although she thought she had so many questions to ask the man across the phone.

"I'm bothering you, aren't I?"

"No-no, brother."

"What are you doing again?"

"I-i-i ..." Suddenly, Neska remembered that she was going with Rion. What was his act that served Cean's chat was a mistake? But, should he also ignore it?

"You're the same as Rion, aren't you?" Apparently Cean can guess the situation.

"Yes, Brother."

"Oh ..."

Somehow Neska actually felt Cean turned indifferent after knowing that Neska was with Rion now.

"Yes, Brother. I ... hang up the phone."

"Hm ..."

The call was immediately interrupted even before Neska closed it first.

Neska shook her head faintly while looking at her phone screen which displayed the duration of their call that had ended. Neska is confused as to whether her actions are right or whether she feels guilty because Cean is angry with her.

Why does Cean have to be angry? Her thought.

...***...

Cean hung up his phone, scratched his temple at a glance, then restored his hair like a demoralized person.

"Haisss ... Why am I?" his gerrick.

Cean slammed his body into the bed, staring at the ceiling of the room that how many months he had been living in. Yeah, she's back at her parents' house now.

The problem of romance is indeed confusing, which is why Cean stopped his madness even from the beginning because it was also disguised as someone else who has nothing.

Ah already, at least because of his disguise at that time, he got to know a little girl who now actually made his mind chaotic. Especially since Neska and Rion had actually been officially dating, it felt like being upset by themselves, for some reason.

Cean chose to call Marko instead of his mind everywhere and was increasingly upset at the thought of Neska who was out for a walk with Rion on Sunday.

"Well call, Mblo?"

Yeah, since Cean cut his ties with Wenda, Marko gave him another nickname that sounded really annoying.

"So, can't I call? Don't say single people if you're the same." Somehow Cean was inflamed to hear Marko's teasing this time, but usually he was flat.

"Weitsss ... calm dong, how angry?" said Marko who was quite surprised across there.

"Diem!"

"Well, I think you called me. If I'm diem, you're talking to me, Cean!"

"Marco!"

"Hmm" said Marko lazily because it's Sunday and not his working hours.

"Where? Do you have a model for advertising our latest products?"

"Hehehe, Sunday is still a matter of work."

Cean himself was confused about where to vent his regret, so he called his best friend because Marko was the only destination that inevitably had to be his target, likes and dislikes.

"Quick search! Don't play around a lot."

Cean also disconnected the call, he scratched his head that did not itch because he felt completely wrong. But, at least by nagging Marko he was breathing a little relieved now as if releasing the burden though not completely.

The young man chose to come out of his room, he passed Aura who also just came down from the 3rd floor in their parents' house.

"But really, where are you going?" ask Cean about his sister.

"Oh, I was sent to Singapore this afternoon."

Previously, Cean had never been this enthusiastic when he heard the name of the country - a country that since he was a teenager often visited to feel bored - But, somehow now it feels happy, but, cean's happy ranking even goes beyond his logic.

"Well? I'm going there, yeah."

Aura looked at Cean in surprise, not long before rolling her eyes off guard.

"Not wrong? Why are you also following brother, deck?" he said while holding back the waves.

Cean shook his head and put up his puppy eyes for Aura to knock on his heart and invite Cean along with him.

"Don't work if only use innocent face like that. I won't take you!" said Aura who then blew up a laugh.

Cean snorted softly, then put one hand into his pants pocket.

"Who cares? I can also go there not to be the same as you, really." Cean smiled obliquely then.

"Oh, huh? It's responsibility here, is it?" aura Cibir.

"Come on! I can go home tomorrow."

Aura sniffed her shoulders, but a moment later she stared at the full sight of her twin sister from head to toe.

"Why?" asked Cean who felt that Aura was reading her this time. Of course Cean was afraid that Aura would be able to figure out his destination for Singapore. Because sometimes, this sister can read her mind like their minds are connected to each other.

"It's okay, anyway. I was told there Mama would monitor Rion and Neska. If you ... what do you want to do there? How's that?" Once again Aura's gaze piqued full a glance towards Cean.

"A-I, just want to monitor the central company. That's it," call it Cean.

"Tumben," Aura said as she walked in the other direction. "Yes whatever, I can miss the plane if you continue," he said as he went down the stairs to get down to the ground floor.

...***...

"Does? Uhhuh?"

Neska nodded at Rion's question. He throws a thin smile.

"Where did you go?" her tanyanya refers to Sheila. Wasn't Sheila still with Rion when she went to the toilet? Why is Sheila not here?

"Oh, Sheila called her dad, she's in Singapore too so Sheila's in a hurry to get home."

Neska nodded her head understanding Rion's words.

"You haven't ordered any food, I ordered it. It's okay, right?"

"Still yes," said Neska staring fixedly at Rion.

"Why?" rion asked, he was wondering why Neska was looking at him with this kind of gaze, not usually.

"Are you really close to Sheila?"

"Why are you that?" Instead of answering, Rion threw the question back. There was a thin smile that he was holding up now, realizing Neska's question, he felt that this girl was gushing at him.

"I see, you guys are so close," said Neska throwing a glance at the stores that lined up outside their dining area.

"I'm the same Sheila's the best friend from childhood, deket ya sure."

"Oh ..." Neska mangosteen.

"You ... jealous?"

Neska's eyes immediately rounded hearing Rion's question this time. Is he jealous? Neska herself did not know what to answer now.
