CHAPTER 32

“Kakk ... don't go far.” My love to Brother Jeff.

“New also road Claire. Where to go, you choose.” Brother Jeff said behind his fullface helmet.

“In the minimarket ahead we just stop,” I replied.

Now Brother Jeff immediately stopped at the minimarket I asked and I immediately came down from the bonds of Brother Jeff.

“Actually Brother want to do?” I'm still confused by what Jeff meant.

“Sabar dong's. I was so scared I took you out.” He said while parking his motorbike.

After parking the bike, Jeff took my hand and invited me to sit on the seat in the minimarket.

“Thank you.” He said after we sat face to face at one of the tables in front of the minimarket.

“Create what Brother?” my many.

“Supportmu make me.” He said then lowered his head.

The look on Brother Jeff's face immediately I feel turned into sadness like never before that looks ordinary.

“Eh yes Brother, equally.” My reply in confusion felt the atmosphere between the two of us instantly become awkward.

“Sorry yes Brother if my words were wrong.” I said considering I had thought about whether my words were actually useful to Jeff's brother.

“Ngapain apologise. You know, I just felt you were someone who could really support me and make me feel like Claire.” Said Jeff who made me very surprised because of his eyes look teary when saying it.

“You said I was great and no one would be disappointed with me. Just so you know Claire, it's the first time I've heard that I can make other people not disappointed by me. Even the closest person to me in the family, you know, always said I let her down. He never said he was proud of me.” Said Brother Jeff with his tears that suddenly fell a few drops then he immediately removed with his hands.

“Kakk ..” I said while giving a tissue to him.

“Hahaha sorry I suddenly became a gini. But it was fitting that you said like that, it really-no wonder here.” Said Jeff while holding his chest.

“I'm glad someone supported me like that. That's why I can get pretty sick. The first time I felt like that.” He said with a blank look forward and a faint smile.

From the look in his eyes, I felt like Brother Jeff was harboring a delusion or a problem that he himself had. I've only seen the condition of Jeff's weak brother like this for the first time. He always looked strong and brave.

But there is one thing that now comes to my mind during the question and answer session.

“Sister, can I ask you something no?” I said carefully after the atmosphere between us was shrouded in silence with each other.

“Only gapapa.” Reply Brother Jeff while staring at me.

“Why when Brother was asked about what is Big Brother's biggest impulse to apply to become a candidate for BEM chairman, Brother looks frantically nervous?” I finally got up the courage.

“Fiuhhhh .. if that I can't answer now.” He said with a faint smile.

“Actually the reason is not what I just said. But if for the support of people around ehh.. hmm Kakk Jeff said with his face now slightly reddened.

Hearing this immediately also made my face feel heated because I did not expect the purpose of the last response Jeff Kak was me.

“Oh yes, thank you too but help me finally be able to answer that earlier. Hahaha you purposely ‘kan for me to call you let me not look in the direction of audience.” Shirt Brother Jeff who I reply with a small nod and smile.

“Hmm ... Why do you want to do all this for me?” Ask Brother Jeff suddenly who makes me wrong now.

“Ehh ..” murmured me confusion.

“Drettt ... Drettt ..” the phone in my hand suddenly shook and when I saw it my mom called me back.

“Lift first aja gapapa.” Said Jeff's brother who knew my mama was calling.

I picked up my mom's phone.

“Doctor's word, chances are there's a face she also needs to stitch Claireee. But for the facial surgery, it's worth an extra cost, Claire. Mama confused should how.” My mother said sobbing.

I finally offered my mama a favor for me to go back to Blitar to help take care of Raymond, but it turned out that my mama turned him down. My mom kept saying that my mom could still take care of it along with my dad later.

I feel my mother is sad to see Raymond lying in the hospital. I was also sad to think about how Raymond was doing because it sounded quite severe this time.

After giving the news, she hung up the phone because there was a doctor who made a visit to check Raymond back.

“Claire, if you need help, let me know. I must have helped.” Brother Jeff said after I finished the phone call with my mama who seemed to be listening to my conversation with my mama.

“Kak, I want to go home aja.” I said because I suddenly felt so dizzy with my head.

“Okee. Yuk, unplug,” reply.

All the way home, I kept thinking about how Raymond was doing. I'm afraid Raymond's condition is worsening. I couldn't bear to see my mama sad continuously like that.

On the other hand, I was also thinking about the fee my mother had said for Raymond's facial surgery. Mama didn't ask me for help finding the money but when I had to think about my mom and dad having to make more money while for all Raymond's operations I became very sad.

...--------...

“Still Brother.” I said when I got in front of my boarding house back.

“Thank you for everything Claire. If you need help later, especially about your sister tell me I'm aja gapapa.” Said Jeff again offering me help.

I just replied with a nod and a small smile and then I went straight into the boarding house because I thought of a plan that I should immediately do.

Arriving at the room, I immediately called Jacob. I mean calling Jacob to ask him to see me on Sunday tomorrow doesn't need to be Monday.

“Hmm .. if I may know, why is Claire suddenly you're in such a hurry?” Ask Jacob across the street.

“There is an urgent need,” I replied briefly.

“Why Claire? Who knows I can help you,” he said.

“Hmm ... tomorrow only when we meet, I'll tell you,” reply.

“Okee. I'll pick you up.” Jacob said to me before ending my call.

...--------...

Jeffersonian:

After delivering him back to his boarding house, I immediately fell on my bed. Without me noticing with my eyes closed, I smiled to myself every time I remembered what he said before I started the campaign.

“So great brother, there will be no one disappointed with Brother.”

“Gue really likes you Claire. I need people like you in my life.” My inner self with a smile was glad to find someone like this.

Flashbacks: flashback:

“Jeffer, papa is really disappointed with you. You want an osis campaign but what you're after is a silly thing that's open like a leader says! Who wants to have your kayak leader?” Be rebuking loudly when I go home.

“Papa understand you are still Junior High, but how many days have you taught this. But, what's the result? Your result is always papa's disappointment, make papa shy. Until when every papa teach you to be a great person but you are always like that.”

“See tomorrow. You must have lost! When can you be a leader in your school world like papa? Papa used to be able to, even alumni who boast of cooking you can not nerusin papa's trail?”

That's the starting point of my confidence starting to decline and feeling hurt with papa's words. And that was the beginning of my disappointment until this moment papa has never been satisfied with what I did.
