Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
8. Don't Go home!

"I-that's my friend too, Do. We..mmm, ki-we're rapping at my friend's place." Kalula with his spontaneous mouth and his panic made Edward immediately retreat.

Moreover, Kalula gave the code to him to retreat. He didn't want his cell phone camera to catch Edward's whereabouts. The problem with Edo could get worse if Edward is seen.

"Turkey? What did your mom say drove you home? Why should he go with Nginep?" Edo lowered his tone but his tone remained furious.

Kalula looked at Edward who was standing in front of her unkindly. Edward seemed to be waiting for him. He won't move.

"I-iya because it was fitting nganterin to my friend where the girl had gone last. It's raining again, Do." Kalula is getting better at making excuses.

Edward smiled at me hearing this. He put it in his pants pocket.

"Oh, huh? Should it be? Though you know you're the same mama quarreled because of that guy. Mama is just nanya Kal why you are ushered in a guy. Mama must have pity on me because you were there and on the other guy's way. You're..."

"Do! I told you, right? We don't fight because of Edward! Mama I'm brave..."

"Oh, so his name is Edward? Okay. Are you starting to defend him? Maybe it is true, said Mama. How many weeks have passed, I cheated. Deket-deket with other guys without feeling guilty at all, even though I'm here again struggling to make..."

"DO!" Kalula screams in frustration. I want it to feel like she's crying. Distance makes this fight more protracted.

Edo silence. His face looks upset. Kalula looked at Edo on the screen of his phone furiously. Edward, who had been standing in front of him, was sitting on the floor. He did not want to leave Kalula alone in this situation.

"Mending you is the same mama again what exactly caused us to fight until I ran away from home. You know me, don't you, Do? If it was because of a trivial matter, how could I have behaved so badly. I'm lazy lasain. Free.

You don't ask me why. You instead focus on accusing me of cheating and jealous of my coworker whom he actually does not help me.

Do, you rarely tell. Once we communicate, you always complain about college, about your isolation this adaptation. I always listen. Have you ever wondered if I am okay here? Naw. Always one-sided. Always about you.

Edward was always here. I am sincere and I am not at all like you are accusing me of. I'm tired, Do." Kalula's voice was half crying. His hands were busy wiping away tears. The sensitive Edward stood up to get a tishu.

Edo was silent to see his girlfriend seemed to be tired of fighting. Moreover, what Kalula said was all true. Yes, since in Tokyo, his chat with Kalula only about his complaints and himself. He never asked about Kalula.

"Sorry, Kal. I'm again adapting to the same situation. I also had a little trouble with my studies. I don't have much time. I'm..."

"You have plenty of time, Do. There is time to eat with your friends. Go sightseeing. You always look happy and laugh near Erina.

If you want and intention, you can just send news via chat goods a minute two minutes. In fact, if mama does not call and ngadu who does not, do you contact me? No, right?" Kalula's cry really broke.

Edo felt guilty. But his ego remains stifled. Edo doesn't like to be blamed the most. Kalula knows that but he doesn't care.

"I overslept, Kal. Excuse me. I'm..."

"Udahlah, Do. If you still accuse me of not-no and believe the same lies mama, do not need to call me first. I'm tired, Do. Don't look for me first. Sorry if my mom has made you bother and sleep less. It's matiin." Kalula cried and put her phone on the floor.

Edward came over. He held out a few pieces of Tishu. Kalula.

But what Kalula forgot, his phone was still on. Edo has not ended his call. And his face was still plastered on the screen that was placed on that floor.

Edward glanced cunningly. He immediately crouched down in front of Kalula and brought himself closer as close as possible so that Kalula's cell phone camera caught his presence. Edward wanted Edo to be upset.

"Kal, don't cry. Come stand. Not in here. Cold floors. We're going to my bed, okay? You'll be sick." Edward acted like a hero. He grabbed Kalula's shoulder and helped him to his feet.

Kalula who was too dizzy with everything thought the video call with Edo was over, but not yet. He was too upset and tired until the style of putting the sophisticated object on the floor. He did not know, Edo was still spying on him with an angry face.

Edward glanced down a little. He was happy because when they stood this way, the camera captured their video from below more clearly.

Edward didn't want to waste a chance. With this close distance and his hand still on Kalula's shoulder, he immediately hugged the girl as if to calm her down. Though he only wanted Edo to be jealous of this hug.

"You sleep in bed. It's too early, Kal. Your feet are cold. You will be sick later. I told you last night. I slept in my room. Come here" said Edward meekly as soon as his embrace slipped.

Kalula nodded. He left his phone on the floor. He did not know after that Edo immediately turned off his phone and slammed the books on his desk to vent anger.

And Kalula...

Edward covered his feet and took him a drink. He said Kalula's body started to have a fever. Kalula until unconscious. Maybe this is the effect of rain, late eating, lack of sleep, and plus he is stressed.

"I told Mr. Diki that you are sick again and not going in tomorrow. I'll take care of you. Calm. Everything's settled. If you are desperate to go to work tomorrow and faint, Mr. Diki even more upset because you become troublesome. Hitherto. You go to sleep first."

But when Edward stroked his head and clasped his hand, he fell asleep. He let it go. He even closed his eyes because he was comfortable.

It turned out that this is how you are treated with meek and attentive care. Edward was very different from Edo. Edward gave her a chance to cry and vent her feelings. Whatever it is.

Edo tends to be different. He treated her very firmly. If Kalula is sick, Edo will be attentive but he will certainly give him the spirit to stay strong and enter work.

Edo formed it so strong that Kalula forgot that he could also complain and give up if necessary.

Edward and Edo are two different personalities.

Edward's gentle attitude was the embodiment of the treatment Kalula wanted to get all along.

***

Edo entered college with a disheveled face. Although the first year he and other scholarship recipients had just undergone language education and adaptation, but still this was hard for Edo.

He was accepted because of Kalula's help, right? Eating it when it's tangled like this Edo feels his brain is not capable. Her other friends' cheer and Erina's attention seemed to be a breath of fresh air for her.

And I don't know where Kalula knows their closeness. Even this morning he pulled it up. Edo felt bad.

He felt Erina's attention was only limited to friends. But Kalula and Edward? Aghhh! Edo remembered the man's sweet and gentle words to Kalula. They even hugged everything. He feels hot.

"Why, Do?" Erina who was sitting on the bench beside him greeted.

"No papa. I'm just a little unwell. Uh, I'll go to the toilet first. Calling family in Jakarta. There's something important. Later if Miss Yuki has entered class and is absent please say yes." Edo left without Erina wondering again.

In the empty man's toilet Edo held back his sense of regret. He had urged Kalula's mother and asked them what they were fighting about but the woman insisted that they were fighting because of Edward. Though this morning during a video call, Kalula said that was not the case.

Edo nibbled his temple in frustration.

"Ma! Mama persuaded herself. He wants to go home or I don't want to know. He's kind of comfortable with Edward-Edward. I'm dizzy, Ma. Dingy. Yes, I closed. I have a lecture."

Edo took a deep breath and missed the 10-minute lesson. He felt his life was getting heavier here.

Kalula who is the reason here even makes him a headache. LDR is hard. Misunderstandings and lack of communication make it even more difficult.

***

At ten in the morning Kalula woke up with puffy eyes. He checked his cell phone that Edward had placed next to him.

Edward with his shady face and nurturing looked at him with a smile.

"What else is it?" Edward asked Kalula whose face was getting tangled after checking her phone.

Kalula did not answer. He simply stretched the flat object towards Edward.

[Kal, can you not go home? Ngerepotin. Mama's phone is broken and she's confused about your relationship. I need to get my phone to school.

Pay the rent money. Beliin also Mama new mobile phone also not to bother me minjem-minjem. Oh, ja. My tuition will be paid by next week at the latest, otherwise I won't be able to take the exam." ]

Kalula hid her face between her knees.

"You think you're talking to me? There is no courtesy. Kal, you were blackmailed and used. Don't go home, Kal!" Edward was riding blood.

"I still have to go home, Ed." Kalula raised her disordered face.

"Well..." Edward looked at pity and anxiety. Kalula could have gone back to that house.

"Yes, go home to get my clothes and stuff. You didn't change your mind, did you give me a ride here for a while?" Kalula looked at Edward seriously.

Edward smiled. He nodded. Heart's blossoming.

"As long as you want, Kal," her inner voice as she cheered inwardly.
