Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
10. Just Breakup!

Kalula walked out of this rented house with a tight chest.

The umpteenth rented house he lived in with his late father. This is the house where his father lived before he died. Of course heavy out of the house in this condition. But Kalula's determination was already round.

Edward, who had been waiting for him at the door, quickly loaded Kalula's belongings into the car. They're tugging the gas away. Kalula looked back. He saw his mother standing at the end of the street with an angry look.

"Kal, I know what's on your mind. You feel guilty. You feel disobedient. Let, Kal. Let that feeling exist. Its alright. What matters is that you're out of there. That's a bold move.

Now, from this moment on, start living for yourself. Don't think of anyone else, let alone anyone else who can only hurt you and take advantage of you.

You're nothing more than your stepmom's money machine and your little brother who doesn't know himself. Your life plan is back. I'll be in the back helping you" Edward said as he continued to drive.

Kalula did not reply, but he cried as much as he did without being embarrassed again.

Yes, in front of Edward he felt he could vent all his feelings without fear.

It's different in front of Edo. Edo always said crying was weak. If Kalula cries and complains, he continues to strengthen. Though sometimes Kalula just need to evaporate everything.

Feeling weak is not wrong, right? The wrong thing is to keep pretending to be strong and hurting yourself, pretending to be okay when fragile inside."

Kalula wiped her tears.

"Thanks, Ed. If there is no you, I do not know where to go and what to do" said Kalula.

Edo was gathering and eating with his friends when Karina's number called him. Since yesterday mama Kalula called him with Karina's cell phone because his own phone was damaged.

"Do, Kalula came home this afternoon with that guy. He took his clothes and his things away. Mama doesn't understand anymore, Do. Kalula said she no longer wanted to take care of Mama with Karina.

Can you guarantee Mama money, Do? Mama's already late to pay Karina's tuition. Please dong, Do. Kalula has taken his hand off. I don't know who else to ask for help."

And it's not Edo's name if he refuses. He said yes and transferred with his spare savings that Kalula had told him to keep okay just in case. Because the name lives in the country the person must be all alert and have a deposit of money.

Edo returned to the table with a gloomy face. Erina simply glanced at him with a gesture of hesitation to ask.

Aldo, Beni, and Ajeng appear to be teasing him. The four of them knew Edo was upset about leaving his girlfriend in Jakarta.

"Udah, Do. Mending singles like me with Aldo. The relationship just makes it complicated. No, just rhyming the phone, his face creased. You also do not focus on the class.

Okay, Do. Put it down if there is a lot of fighting. In a few months, Kalula must have walked with another guy. LDR is not suitable for everyone, Do.

Breakup. We're young, there's still plenty of time for a better fit. The future is long." Beni sneered then all laughed as if this was funny.

Edo laughed softly while trying to look fine.

Yes, this is the reason she rarely tells Kalula when she is with her friends. He will be hurt by love slaves and considered not cool anymore because he was busy himself.

Now in the midst of the laughter and joking of his friends he just sat like a statue. In this city that is still unfamiliar to him, with people passing by with a language that he does not fully understand.

It has been a few weeks but Tokyo still feels difficult for him. And Kalula... . Aghhh! What was on his girlfriend's mind? He brought his things and clothes to go with the man?

Edward who said only to take and stay overnight because it was too late. But real when the video call took place, Edo had heard the words "in my room only."

Whatdoes thatmean? It means they're at the man's house, not Kalula's girlfriends.

Edo stomped his throbbing head wanting to explode.

Why isn't her love story going so smoothly, anyway?

Then he looked at the watch. I want his friends to come home so he can come home too. He does not feel good to go home first because it will be considered not solid with this togetherness.

Actually he wants to hurry up to his room and then he wants to call Kalula.

***

Edward said Kalula could use the empty next room. And this afternoon they were cleaning the room and arranging Kalula's things.

Edward came knocking on the door and brought a chair from his room to Kalula's room.

Kalula who just finished the shower opened the door. Edward laughed at her because the towel she wrapped around her head made her look so cute. His head is expanding greatly.

"Don't laugh, Ed. It was a drama once until my hair dryer missed." Kalula then sat on the bed.

Edward stopped his laughter and sat down next to him.

"Sorry, I don't have that thing here. I'm usually a bitch. I let my hair dry on its own" Edward said, laughing.

Kalula was talking about his fear that tomorrow the manager of the cafe where they work would nag him because he did not come in, but Edward calmed him down.

Unfortunately the chat was interrupted by a video call that went into Kalula's phone. Kalula glanced at the name listed and her heart rustled.

Edo called.

He must have gone home from college and his head was cold to talk about their problems. But there's Edward here. Kalula is not happy to expel. It went awry.

But Edward is sensitive. He gave her a code to pick up the phone.

Edward stand. Kalula thought he was going, but he wasn't. Edward just changed his sitting position to be in front of him so as not to be seen from the camera Kalula.

Kalula picked up her phone and picked up the call. Silent. For a few seconds they just stared at each other. Edward was still there, among them.

"You've been shampooing?" Edo opened the chat awkwardly after their great quarrel earlier this morning.

"Yes." Yeah." Kalula said briefly.

"You ran away from home? The boarding? Whereabouts? Let me get a stiff friend to check on you." Edo's voice still sounded stiff.

"No need, Do. I can take care of yourself." Kalula said flatly.

Edo seemed to be getting upset. Kalula's response did not match what he expected. Kalula is so cute. His grip to budge and apologize first was also high.

"Oh, huh? Can you take care of yourself? Or taken care of that guy? What was his name? Edward?" Edo's tone started to rise.

"Do, stop! At least he's nice and help me." Kalula stared sinisterly at Edo whose face was plastered with annoyance on the screen of his phone.

"helpfully? Mama said you took her clothes? Even he was rude and pushed mama to the floor. Kal, who are you hanging out with as long as I'm not around? What are you hiding from me? You should rarely tell about your work in a new place.

Can you do this? Brought a guy who's not his partner like a cheap chick. What difference do you have with pel*c*r!" Edo seemed emotional.

Kalula was silenced but her tears began to spread.

In one day the person he once loved and whom he considered valuable took out such harsh words on him.

First his mother told him the child did not know himself and said he wanted to throw it into the trash as a baby. Then Edo...

Kalula closed her lips with one hand. Cry broke. Edward who sat in front of Kalula was instantly hot. The Kalula phone.

Tokyo-Jakarta, Edward-Edo. They look at the phone screen. Edo. Edward replied. Kalula was crying.

"It's not worth your mouth to say it's like going to Kalula! Br***secret!" Edward turned off the call and threw the phone into the bed.

Without much talking he hugged Kalula. Letting her cry in his arms for the third time.
