I'm Not an Old Virgin
Season II: Mahligai of Love (Chapter 5.2)
While in the kitchen Mega always lowered her head pretending to be indifferent to the presence of an unexpected third person. He rinsed all the dirty cutlery in silence, making the usually talkative Asri also fall silent.
"How are Mom and Dad now? Why didn't they call me first when they sent you here?" Ustad Azam asked lightly behind Mega.
Mega's movements faltered and her face became increasingly cold. This atmosphere was definitely not a pleasant atmosphere so Asri chose to be deaf as if he did not care about their conversation. Although well from this conversation he guessed if the two of them must know each other.
"Why should they contact Ustad Azam just because I was sent here? After all Mama and Papa were both my parents and not both of Ustad Azam's parents. So stop acting so familiar with me." Mega Greedy.
He. did not want to get in touch with this man anymore and he more did not want to find this kindly male attitude to his parents.
Because once again they are nothing to the past, present, and even in the future.
Mega has given up on that.
Ustad Azam was silent. He looked at the slender girl who was busy rinsing the dishes in the tap water with a downcast look. This girl suddenly changed after 1 year of separation. He did not understand the reason but his sudden change certainly attracted the curiosity of Ustad Azam.
This girl used to run around looking for her, smiling at her, and always talking a lot if they accidentally met.
But look now, when you see that smile no longer exists. Even Ustad Azam realized that several times Mega tried to turn his face if they met.
He wondered could this be because of their separation 1 year ago?
But Ustad Azam did not explain it before making a decision.
"Mega," Call Ustad Azam with a reminiscent tone.
"Don't bring personal problems here. Mama and Papa sent you here not for personal matters but to study. Here we are no more than two strangers so I hope you respect this rule." Connect Ustad Azam before saying hello and get out of the kitchen.
He leaves behind the lonely back of Mega who appears much lower than before.
Mega turned her face away pretending to arrange the kitchen utensils that were already clean. Though he wanted to avoid Asri from seeing his face now. He was sick and he wanted to cry.
Without Ustad Azam, remind him that their relationship is no more than two strangers who have to keep their distance. Even this rule has been in effect for a long time and Mega is not at all surprised. It's just..
It still hurts every time he is reminded and he even hates himself who still foolishly maintains this pain.
"Mega..are you okay?" Asri was worried so he came closer.
"Who sent you here? Go and focus on working! I don't want my first day here to sleep outside!" Mega said fiercely as usual.
Ai and Mega are both busy with their romance stories. Then, what about myself-astagfirullah! What the hell am I thinking! They must have had nothing to do with it and it was just my unreasonable guess. Hem! After all we are here to study not to find a future husband - actually this is okay as long as it does not interfere with the school hehe..In the end Asri is still Asri. He couldn't take his mind off the romance in the boarding house.
He was even very interested in experiencing it!
"Are you done?" Mega Tegur after a long silence.
Asri cleaned both of her hands while nodding her head.
"Yes, we can go now." He said as he walked out with Mega.
They went out together and approached Ai who was folding all the washcloths on the table. They did not see Sari's figure again here and had already concluded that Sari must have left.
"He left? Good." Said Mega not excited while sitting himself in the chair.
"She may not want to be friends with us anymore." The word Ai is bad but does not mean sad.
"That was the best decision, Ai. There is no point in being friends with someone like him. Don't you remember when he turned the real story around in front of Umi? He slandered us and wanted to impress us badly in front of Umi." Asri reminded generously how Sari tried to blacken their name in front of Umi and the others.
Ai also thinks they better not be friends but that does not mean breaking the strings.
"He's right, Ai. If you want to make friends, find someone who uses the heart. Because if their heart intention is sincere then whatever your advantages or disadvantages they will not demand much. You are you and they will not care about any other right." Mega's lethargic.
He propped his head up on the table feeling tired of wanting to go to sleep immediately.
Ai smiled faintly, she had finished all her work and invited them to immediately return to the dormitory.
"Well, like you, I'm grateful to be friends with you both." Ai said it was no longer awkward with Mega.
Mega was stunned, a few seconds later she also smiled. Hit Ai and Asri's shoulders with light movements.
"I'm also grateful to be friends with you."
Let, the days of the boarding school starting from this night are traversed with the stories of the likes and sorrows of the three of them. Finding some problems in just one day makes them unknowingly establish a friendship bond.
Well, at least they are not too lonely because they are too tired to take care of a heart that has not been reciprocated.
