Part 18: Flashback

Six months have passed since the introduction between Kai and Jasmin through Haris' intermediary who introduced the two. It didn't take long for Kai to let Jasmin down and make her his girlfriend in 2nd grade High School. Jasmin and Kai are LDRs because they are both in different schools. Kai and Haris are classmates, their upperclassmen are Airin who is none other than Haris's daughter. While Jasmin went to another high school with his friends.

"Here it is, then" said Jasmin, bending her lips. Kai could only give a rough sigh, the guy was still sitting on the bike, not sincerely letting Jasmin go home in an angkot.

"Why? Always that. I'm antherin to the house, all greet your mama."

Jasmin shuddered, her mama must be furious if she knew Jasmin was dating. "Ish, it's not that I don't want to. Later if caught can break our path!"

Not not the answer Jasmin, but: "i will be scolded mami if dating. I'm still in 1st grade High School. Mami said I should focus on school first, you know dong," Jasmine persuaded Kai who still looks bete and riled.

Always Kai escorted Jasmin to a corner near the minimarket which was quite far from Jasmin's house.

"Ah, I have an idea. How about I go to Haris' house!" yelled Kai with a glowing face.

Jasmin was cheerful, but in the next second the girl immediately pouted, "My mom was pouting. He must be wondering you, we're different schools..." Kai pouted again.

"It's hard, yaah, I anterin you're here..." Kai finally gave up, the man also handed over Jasmin's bag that had been carried by him. Jasmin received her bag and did not forget to give the sweetest smile for her boyfriend.

"Thank you. later if I've been to college mami can definitely date. You can pick me up," said Jasmin with added mono balls of sodium glutamate on his smile. (monosodium glutamate \= delicious flavor enhancer)

"Hehe, yaa. be careful yaa. if riding angkot do not deket deket same guys. Choose a seat next to the same mbak-mbak." Kai rubbed the right side of Jasmin's head gently, Jasmin was smiling.

"You too, if the breath is picky, a lot of pollution, you will be sick." Jasmin recalled to Kai, making the guy laugh.

"Okee darling! I'm going ya."

"Neng hasn't been dating for a long time!" shouted the mamang angkot who since 15 minutes ago waited for Jasmin to finish farewell with Kai. Passengers in the angkot also whispered annoyed because of the actions of Jasmin who intercepted the angkot, but just want to ride lamaaaa.

"Yes, be patient!" jasmin said jutek, then rode in an angkot while waving his hand at Kai, not wanting to part because his guy was handsome!

Meanwhile, at Haris house attended by many people, the yard of his house was filled with cars parked here and there, seen Mr. RT and the manager of the complex and the mothers of the complex gathered in neatly arranged chairs under the tent.

Jasmin who walked past Haris' house seemed to have caught his eye on the sight, an unusual sight. On a whim, Jasmin greeted RT and the complex manager and the complex mother led by the beautiful little Aunt Sunny.

"Tante... Is this what?"

"Hey, just got home? Your mama is in the dalem" replied Aunt Sunny cheerfully. Jasmin was confused.

"Haris house is rame, there's a blue tent everything...What's the matter, Tan?"

"Haris's mother is getting married."

"WHAT?!" Jasmin was shocked, as well as RT sir who had been on Jasmin's side since.

"Don't you say it?"

"Commonably, just married him simply hgga in the building. Only dekets are invited."

"Watery?" jasmin lirih.

Jasmin doesn't care about Airin, her mom or the beauty and good looks of the newlyweds. One thing Jasmin was looking for in that crowded room, Haris!

So busy Jasmin did not know that a friend near her mother married again.

"Riss!" Jasmin managed to find Haris, who was sitting stuck in the corner of his room. Haris was seen wearing batik, jeans and a gloomy face adorning her expression that afternoon. Haris did not answer the greeting of his friend, Haris did not taste even to just open his mouth.

Jasmin sat on the bed, a metre away with Haris behind her.

"wasn't that truant?" ask Jasmin carefully.

"Ris, there's a nice picture of my school deck. I bought Kai there. Pedes. Pake chicken meat," said Jasmin with eyes somewhat closed, if still not responded Haris really angry.

Five minutes Haris never answered Jasmin, the boy was still silent and washed away in his daydream.

"Hun? I'm sorry, I'm angry, '" said Jasmin, patting Haris on the shoulder.

Haris turned around, while removing the headset from her ear. "Ehh, are you Min?" haris said while grinning.

"Eh Lu from earlier did not realize I was behind you?!"

Haris chuckled, "Hehe sorry, I watched the video too focused.

"Damn ah!" Jasmin irritatedly slapped Haris on the shoulder, but before long the girl cried while covering her face with both hands. Makes Haris confused.

"Well, how come you're mewek? why?" asked Haris while trying to see Jasmin's face clearly.

"Huhu..why don't you say your mama married again today?!" jasmin said while somewhat snapping.

Haris smiled wryly, "Sorry. I don't want to bother you anyway."

Jasmin wiped her tears, then looked at Haris concerned.

Jasmin was so busy courting and school that she forgot Haris who had always fared the same as him. Being in the middle of a broken home family and raised by a single mother. Now, Haris has to accept the reality of having a stepfather who will be very difficult for him to accept.

"Why do you give permission?"

Haris sniffed his shoulders. "You know what else, my mom was late by herself. He's young too. I'm evil dong if you don't give me permission."

"Lu too, if you think you have a deket guy and he wants to get married. You have to give permission, Min..."

"We must be at peace with a reality that is not always pleasant, we must not be selfish. Our parents have a choice, and we have to support that choice with a cool head."

"Ris... But, I saw Airin downstairs... Is that ready?"

"The airy's my stepbrother starting today."
