Letter to Atlanta
26. Pretended boyfriend


In front of the dining table, Elisha was silent looking at the breakfast menu lined up on the table. He was still holding a plate that was already available in front of him to be filled with fried rice, fried sausage, or omelet. Several times the girl gulped due to the seductive aroma that was coming out and gently stroked the nasal cavity until her stomach rebelled to be immediately satisfied with good food.


Elisha nibbled on his lower lip, holding his voice in his stomach. The mullet-haired man sitting beside him turned his head, when he heard his sister's rumbling stomach.


"Why not eat?" yunaka asked, still paying attention to Elisha's movements that looked agitated.


The girl shook her head. "No appetite."


"No appetite, but the stomach sounds. Weird."


There was the sound of breathing from Vina. The woman immediately took Elisha's empty plate, poured some fried rice into it, a few slices of Elisha's favorite sausage and an omelet.


"Eat a lot. Let's not just stain at school. Mama's gonna make provisions, too, yeah."


Elisa was silent, looking at the breakfast menu in front of her. Once again he gulped down his hard-earned saliva, weighing whether he should eat it all. The tail of her eyes occasionally turned to her Papa who was still watching Elisha with a cold gaze.


"Eat El, the rice will cry." Joni said, the man sipped clear water until it ran aground.


He raised his head, his hand took the red apple, cut the fruit up to four pieces, peeled the apple skin very carefully. His actions then made the attention of the people at the dining table focused on him.


"Elisa ate an apple already enough," he said with a smile. A smile they knew was a forced smile.


"Eat that El, what a hard thing. That's Mama's ready for you."


Elisha shifted his plate. "Now, eat the same, Bang."


The girl came back with her activity of peeling off the entire apple peel. Eating yellowish meat that looks fresh. Of course it is not his habit to have breakfast with just one apple as it is today, he is sure that one or two more hours his stomach will definitely ask to be filled with ammunition again.


Since Pratama returned home, the space, especially for Elisha is very limited, even just to eat his favorite food alone Elisha had to weigh the effects that will occur.


"Usually, you eat the most," Yunaka said in the middle of her devouring the fried sausage until her mouth was full.


"Gue again dieting. The day after tomorrow there's a photo shoot."


"Well, very arrogant. I tell you El, eating is important, let alone breakfast. Your brain needs gasoline to learn," he said, tapping Elisa's head slowly.


He just kept quiet, eating the apple pieces voraciously. Obviously the man was very lightly talking without knowing what it was like to be him.


Elisha sipped water until he ran aground, then moved, hooking the backpack behind his back.


"Come, Bang."


Joni turned her head, the man stopped his activities that were blurring the grape seeds.


"You go with Yunaka. Brother to the office is a little bad."


Elisha immediately turned his eyes. He rotated his eyeballs when he saw Yunaka who was already grinning the horse.


"Don't want to ah. Bang Atuy never used a motorbike. You know, he's wearing a bar bike. El still loves lives, Bang."


"Absolutely speaking. Not to mention, if you also gapapa. You're El's weight, my motorcycle tyre's flat."


The man began to move, just as he had draped his backpack Elisha had already hit his arm very hard.


"I was in an accident because of you, your life made me his guarantee." Elisha pointed at Yunaka with great emphasis, while the man was still grimacing next to his arm that was hit by Elisha's blow.


"Well, don't ask me dong. Noh, sign the contract with the angel Izrail."


Ting!


Along with that the bell of the house rang.


"Elisa's leaving first." He said goodbye to Mama, Papa, and Joni. Turning his body sauntered away from the dining room with Yunaka who was walking beside him.


Cclek


"Good morning." The man at the door smiled, showing off the dimple.


"Jay?"


"Is he?" Yunaka leaned her head over Elisha, as the girl only opened half the door space.


"Bang Yunaka?"


Yunaka furrowed her brows, feeling alien to the men who came to her house.


"Do you know my name? Lo who?"


The man seemed to think. "Jay where the hell is it?"


A few seconds later he snapped a finger, rounding his eyes. Yunaka opened the door wide, hugging Jay at a glance.


"Oh! I inget, I inget. Our neighbors were, right? Oh, my God, I didn't know you, Jay," he said, laughing lightly, patting Jay on the shoulder twice.


"Btw, what's up Jay?" coined.


"You take Elisa out with you, Bang," said Jay to the point.


The girl smiled broadly. Chances are good, rather than him having to be escorted Yunaka, with a heart bet that will pound like after a rollercoaster ride, he does not want to go round and round to the toilet just to pee.


"Well, good idea. Mending I go with Jay aja yes, Bang. Instead of you having to take me to school, you put me back to campus." Elisha embraces Jay's arm, waving his arms and taking Jay away from Yunaka's presence without her brother's consent.


When he got to the front of Elisa's house, where Jay's motorcycle was parked, the man immediately picked up the pink helmet he had accidentally borrowed from his mother, put the helmet on until it was placed right on Elisha's head.


He smiled, riding his bike. "Come, go up," he said, who immediately cursed his full face helmet.


.......


.......


.......


Now they have arrived at the school parking lot. Elisha got off Jay's bike, took off the helmet he had been wearing. Jay re-attached the helmet to the passenger seat as before.


"Ey, bro!"


Both are compact. The stern-faced man waved at Elisha and Jay. The girl looked at Theo, knitted her brows, paying attention to Theo's unusual suit. A neat uniform wrapped in a black leather jacket, a hairdo that seemed to have just been combed, not to mention the sunglasses the man wore. Like not the famous Theo enraged in Elisha's mind.


Jay and Theo are fighting as usual. His attenuation turned to look at Elisha who was faithful to pay attention to the interaction of the two.


"Well, there's a princess too. How are you, princess." Theo smiled widely, took off his sunglasses, it certainly adds to the handsome impression of a Theo Wijaya, but Elisa was reluctant to admire Theo's good looks even though it was true. He chose to rotate the eyeballs.


"How rich are you?" he said, while folding his hands.


"Wih, ferociously your real princess, Jay. I like it more." He blinked one eye, practically making Elisha wrinkle his nose.


"Didih, amit-amit jabang babu, I'm not the same lo."


"Udah, no. Go to class." Jay pulls Elisha's arm while sticking his tongue out at Theo.


They walked side by side through the already crowded corridor, with Elisha's position in the middle of Jay and Theo. No doubt make the three in the spotlight of the attention of students. A pretty rare sight for them.


Just a few meters into the classroom, two students stood in front of them, blocking their third path. They both stopped their footsteps, staring one by one at the woman in front.


"Hi, Jay," said one of them, a shoulder-haired woman with a big smile greeting Jay.


The man clucked. "What?" jay flat said.


"Let's rest together, yeah. I'll buy it," he said. His slender hand tried to grab Jay's hand, but the man immediately threw it away.


"can't. I have to have lunch with my boyfriend."


He knitted his confused brows. Since when did Jay have a girlfriend?


"Daughter? K—you have a girlfriend? Wh who? It's not possible."


Suddenly Jay embraces Elisha's shoulder, brings the girl into his arms, making Elisha jerk instead of play.


"This is my girlfriend. Name's Elisha. Ah, I don't need to explain anymore, you know who he is," he said with a pair of lips.


Elisha was silent, though he did not know what was going on with Jay and the woman, and brought her into the circle of trouble between the two.


"Stop, I want to take my girlfriend to class."


The two give way to Jay and Elisha, they still digest Jay's speech which they think makes little sense.


"Jay, what do you mean, why tell me I'm your boyfriend. If someone misunderstands how?" elisa said when they were in front of her class.


Jay sighed. "El, please .. help me, yes. I don't want to be chased by that little granny. You want to be my pretend boyfriend?"


Elisa had thought for a moment, before agreeing to Jay's invitation, there was no harm in her thinking. "Y—ya already, I want to. But just pretend to doang ya."
