Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
S2 Chapter 4 – Regrets
After dinner, Viani went straight back to her room without much conversation with her parents. He avoids questions his parents might ask. Gala and Gemma understood and asked nothing.
Viani closed the door and stood there with her back resting on the door leaf for quite a long time. Staring at the corner of the room with a heart that is now so empty.
At school, he wasn't very good at getting along. Only have one friend, Hana, and since Elementary school they have been familiar like other siblings parents. And now, she lost her only friend who truly loved her. The corner of his eyes condensed, but he tried not to sob.
But the friendly photo between Vincent and Nadia made his defense immediately collapsed. He slumped to the floor, sobbed, and drowned his head on his knees.
This is different from the case of teenagers. That love has not been conveyed at all, but Viani has fallen in it and is entangled in the rubble of her feelings without anyone looking for her.
...***...
Two hours later, when the time showed at 12pm, a few knocks were heard from the girl's bedroom door.
“Vi ... You are still awake?” Gemma's voice sounded from outside.
He got out of bed and opened the door. He saw Gemma standing there with a frown.
“You why—“
The question was not completed when Gemma's body retreated one step back due to Viani who suddenly hit him and drowned her head on the mother's chest, then cried.
“Viani .. It’s okay. Mama is here ..” said Gemma stroking her son's back. Slowly, Gemma led Viani and led her into the room. They sat on the bed without Viani releasing her arms from Gemma's body. “It’s okay, Sweety ..”
“Vi-Viani apologizes to Mama once ngehina Mama, once evil with Mama ..” said the girl with great difficulty, stammered with tears that never subsided. “Viani regrets, Ma ..”
Viani did have time to second-guess how Gemma felt when she compared herself with her friends' mothers. Maybe it was 11 12 with what he felt when he was bullied Nadia, and it was not fun at all.
Gemma's heart was broken to hear the apology of her son delivered in a sad way. “Mama never gets angry, same with you. Lupain is all yes. If you want to cry, cry. Mama is here,” said Gemma as she stroked the hair of her only daughter.
Although he knew that that was not the reason for Viani, Gemma tried to remain beside her son, listening to various stories that did not mention the truth. Letting the girl be content with the story and fall asleep in her bedroom.
...***...
On Monday, Viani dropped out of school as usual. And from today, he has decided he will be friends with anyone who wants to approach him, including Harry, if the man still wants to be friends with him.
He was already not dizzy with Hana, Nadia, Chicrich, or whoever it was that would judge him.
He walked to his own class, avoiding the blasphemous gazes that led him all the way to his seat. Glanced at his watch, which still showed ten minutes before the bell entered.
“Hai,” greet Harry on Viani.
“Oh, hi, Har,” said without noticing Harry. Viani opened her bag and took out a textbook at the first hour, which was about to start any minute. “By the way, my gift has been to Hana.”
Harry took his breath. “Thanks, I guess??”
“Why do you nyampein thank you take hesitation?”
The man's expression turned flat, “All this is no longer interesting for me, Vi ..”
“Entahlah ... I don't like Hana anymore ..”
Viani raised her head, looking straight at Harry's beaded chocolate bead. “Kok can do that? Cepet very lo move on?” The girl is straying. Although Hana was no longer his friend, he did not accept Harry's rapid change like this.
“Don't get me wrong .. That's not what I mean. I just ... How do I say? Raw huh? Ilfeel. Seeing him finally familiar with the Chicrich gang and so personal so different. I never met Hana before. Who is friendly with everyone while he is still familiar with elo,” Harry explained with a face without interest again when talking about Hana.
Viani nodded her head in understanding. “The feeling is mutual, Har .… I also feel like I don't want anything else from Hana. If he prefers them, yes already ...”
Harry also nodded faintly at Viani's words. “So, I guess, are we regular kayaks? And all lupain? That too if you want .. stupid is what people say.”
Viani smiled faintly. “Why not?”
...***...
As usual at recess, Viani went to the library to eat, as well as read whatever she could read. But in the midst of his exclamation he read Agatha Christie's novel, a girl appeared before him.
“Gue to say, Vi ..” Hana Voice.
He raised his head then stood up to keep the novel in its place. “What by the way, Han?” Viani turned around, stood on the edge of the bookshelf and crossed her arms
Hana was standing in front of him with her face down and the two thumb nails clashing against each other were influenced by fear and doubt. The girl higher than Viani looked at him expectantly.
“Gue has opened a gift from elo. Thanks ...”
“You’re welcome. If so, I'm back.”
“Wait~” Hana held Viani who was about to leave. “Gue apologise elo. I opened a gift from Harry and there was a clear meeting with me about the real incident. And ... I'd like to apologize elo, Vi ..”
Viani stops, she looks at the relief of Hana who is now apologizing to her because all the misunderstandings she has are finally straightened out.
“Gue sorry you know, Hannah ...”
“Totally?” ask him with sparkling eyes.
But looking at the eyelashes that use mascara, lips with lip matte, blushing cheeks because of blush on and eyes that are shiny by eye shadow makes Viani laugh wryly. Plus the presence of one of Chicrich who was waiting for Hana there made Viani not want to give Hana more than just sorry.
“Go gih. You have been waiting for Dara in front of tuh.”
Hana's eyebrows shot up when she saw Dara looking at her sharply with her hands folded in front of her chest. “No! I want to be both elo!” he said as he rubbed Viani's hand tightly.
“Kalo so, I'm the one going.”
Viani slowly broke away, leaving Hana who was calling out her name in despair and tears welled up with regret.
