Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
61. Surprising Confessions from Beni

[[[Hey, Hey. Sorry for missing you again. Thank you for your help yesterday and for bothering Robby too. I made a promise with Robby to return the money tomorrow because my salary was liquid.

Sorry yes, Do. I even make you burdened all this time even though you have been far away in Tokyo there. From now on I promise I won't bother you anymore. I won't ask for any more help."  ]]

And the message from Kalula was just Edo read the next morning. He wakes up first while Seira seems to have not woken up in his room.

Edo, who had just curled up on the couch, read the message over and over again to convince himself that he had not misread it.

Their relationship was okay yesterday. After the fight broke up, Kalula asked for help and Edo told Roby to intercede for his help, as if they were back as before. Edo was quite happy.

But what's up now? why is Kalula suddenly acting like this? He seemed to want to stay away and give signals if he did not want anything else to do with Edo.

Edo bit his lip. Her hair was messy after waking up.

If Edo found out yesterday when he overslept, Seira had sabotaged his phone right when Kalula called.

The brave girl Seira attacked Kalula with insinuating and cynical words. He also commented scathingly and humbled Kalula until Kalula could no longer hear and closed the call unilaterally.

The sweet Seira could have been mouthed like a poisonous snake.

Edo who knew nothing of Seira's actions behind him seemed to ponder. He was confused what he should reply to this message from Kalula.

Edo is happy that Kalula's salary problem is in order. He seems to be fine too. But Edo was still worried.

Kalula no longer has a home to go home due to a conflict with her stepmom. He has a job but not very good either. Kalula woman, alone, in a hard city. Edo was clearly anxious.

Sometimes if you remember this, want him to retract his words last night about him who promised Seira to stay in Tokyo first.

Edo wants to go back to Jakarta. He wants to see Kalula and begs to start again from zero. From scratch.

Edo knew it was hard to let go of the girl, but things were complicated like this.

Kalula was also apparently slapped with Seira's words yesterday. He could have complained but Kalula might have regretted his pride. If he complains to Edo about Seira's actions, the more Seira will insult him and taste him spoiled girl sniper, or whatever it is.

Kalula may also feel he does not want to ruin Edo's happiness. Edo has met Seira, a girl who is better than him in any way.

Kalula must admit he felt inferior as well as Edo who was inferior when comparing himself with Edward.

Oh, 4 young people with drastically lame social and economic lives are in conflict with a complicated twenties romance. 

[[[Kal, I don't feel repotted. Seriously. If there's anything call me again, yeah."  ]]

Finally that sentence was what Edo typed and sent to Kalula. When he finished sending a message, right at that moment Seira opened the door of his room and greeted Edo who was still sitting on the sofa.

"I have morning class, Do? You too, right? You can use the bathroom there, yes," said Seira then he closed the door again. Obviously Seira was using the bathroom that was in her room

Edo just nodded. When taking a shower, he daydreamed. What are your friends doing in the dorm? Do they not feel like they have lost themselves? Or instead they are happy because Edo finally went away on his own? All this time Edo had to admit he was a little away from them. Even from the beginning.

Wasn't it! It is not only a problem because Beni and Aldo used to mock him as a love slave if Edo was busy calling Kalula in Jakarta.

Edo's reason is more than that. The reason Edo stayed away was because he wasn't confident enough to join them. In class, the grades were lowest among the other four children. Edo was very frustrated about this. But how, his brain is not smart enough to understand the lecture.

Then when his lie has now been revealed by Aldo and Beni, Edo becomes more panicked. Somehow he'll finish this. It was still too early now for Edo to force his brain to think hard.

***

They finally met that morning.

Edo, who had just separated from Seira from the campus parking lot, walked towards the same room door.

From the other side, the four friends walked over laughing and joking, but they stopped as soon as they saw Edo.

Erina who yesterday was still trying to care for him and embracing him to make up looked ice-cold this morning.

Erina was the closest to Ajeng because both women looked at Edo with the tip of her eyes. Beni and Aldo looked at her.

Class is 15 minutes away. Instead of waiting inside the classroom, Edo decided to wait outside.

Instead of going in, he sat in an outside chair. Even though inside he can chat with contingent children from other countries who are also scholarship recipients.

Edo chose silence alone here. In a cheerful classroom Edo even felt crowded. Ah, somehow every sitting at the class table makes Edo panic himself because he knows the material described can not be caught easily. He knows all around him smart students.

Oh, if all this could go the way they thought it would. Edo and Kalula. Japan and beasisiwa. Apparently not. Now Edo and Kalula are breaking up. The Jakarta-Tokyo LDR was also heavy.

It seems that if Kalula who received the scholarship and Edo who is LDR in Jakarta, their relationship will still survive. Kalula kept his loyalty very much. Edo must admit that.

Edo felt guilty. But in any case, all these events we are too stale to be saved.

As Edo was sitting observing the shady sakura that was beginning to fall bit by bit, Beni came from the classroom.

Edo gave a quick glance and grew even more shocked as Beni suddenly sat down on the side chair. Somewhat surprised him too.

The first Edo lyrics were a wound on Beni's face. Oh, the former tons are there still? Yeah, but not as bad as yesterday. Stay vague now.

If Edo apologized with the gentleman on Beni, his comrade from Jakarta, maybe they have improved. But Edo is not his name if his prestige loses.

"You know Seira about your scholarship fraud? Do, Edo. Seira knows the details, you know. He kept calling me last night through my direct social media message.

Surprised also I he was looking for me to defend you. Is it easy enough to find me? Beni the ordinary guy that he didn't even write a single twinkle at the senior party yesterday." Beni's sharp words made Edo turn his head in shock.

What area to contact Beni? Wh-wh-what for? Waitaminute! Beni talked about the scholarship.

Edo was silent. Mouth's tight. He knew Beni would continue talking again, so he waited.

"Please come to me personally..."

"What begs?" Edo was panicking.
