Second Change
Chapter 7's

"Bro, the cave actually does not have the heart to see you go back and forth the market every day kek gini." said Farhan last year when I often told him to take me because I did not know how to take public transportation.

"Lo actually don't have the heart to see your car carpet get mud from my shoes, right?"

"Lo who's Bro? Where might I mind just because of the trivial things gini doang." Farhan turned his steering wheel into a jammed highway. "Don't you in the pellets."

"Couldn't I throw this dick into your head?"

"So you plan will be stuck how long in this situation?" Farhan asked who suddenly turned serious.

I'm speechless.

"As long as possible."

A year passed, Farhan asked the same thing in our subscription Bar.

"It's been a week back to Suite Lo. Are you done with Lia?"

I sighed and wiped the martini that stayed a little until it ran out.

"I swear this time I really want to end. But now I'm really kangen ama Lia." I'm frustrated. "Gue can't even afford Face Time. I'm afraid I'm gonna melt down and go back to Lia."

"Lo sure you didn't get pellets? Can I find another Mbah?" Farhan took the latest iPhone out of his pocket and brought the speaker closer to his mouth. "Hi Siri find shaman's facebook account."

I got up and left Farhan still cool with his sir.

During this year I and Farhan uda visited several Shamans. I've been through some strange rituals. Everyone says I'm not in the pellet. Then Farhan advised me to go to a psychiatrist. I also obey him. The result is that my sleep hours are getting longer because of the prescription of tranquilizers. Lia is not a disease. But Lia was just like a drug that made me addicted to it badly and I am currently rehabilitating myself by avoiding Lia for as long as possible.

Like other addicts, my mood is down this week. There is no passion for life and miss with Lia. Steak seven million can make me not taste but even to the mind of rawon, fried rice made by Lia and chicken porridge brother-branch that I often pursue because his brother rada budeg if called. Peyek made by Lia is also very good at eating with soto rice.

For days I locked myself in my Suite room and sat next to a large window in the living room. I looked at the sky while thinking, will Lia also like to stare from this height? Will Lia take me on vacation to the mountain? Will Lia take the cable car and skate in the snow with me? If Lia was afraid to skate, I would rent a villa in high place and sit on the terrace of the villa looking at the scenery covered in thick snow while sipping hot chocolate. Maybe Lia could cook chicken curry at the Villa and we could while eating hot chicken curry in the cold weather.

****, I want to eat chicken curry.

Ding Dong

My daydream broke because someone rang my room bell. Which is definitely not Farhan because he always calls on the phone instead of hitting the bell. And not a hotel employee because I commemorate uda not to be near in my room. With a shunt step I peeked in the door.

My heart is jerking.

"Mom!"

"Why are you surprised to see Mom? Take another woman to the room?"

My friend who has disappeared from my life nine months suddenly appeared with an unfriendly attitude. It was even as if he was inspecting a room.

"Gue uda long time not bring a girl to the room" I said while nyokap around the room.

"I also know that you've been here less the last year" he said coldly "But you're the one who went to the house of a woman named Amelia."

"Mom.." I want to protest but it's not because it's no wonder Mom has people watching me. "Yes, her name is Amelia. She's a good girl."

"I also know she's a good girl. Now he's studying at a pretty good college." Still without expression.

"Tuition is also from his own savings. I'm not much help."

Sit on the sofa, then remove the scarf and lean back. The Nyokap sign is not just an inspection but is getting ready for interrogation. I didn't even dare to sit down before I was allowed to.

"I know he's working hard. He said his grades were pretty good too and he's chasing student duties for next year." I looked me in the eyes and did not tell me to sit down.

"He's also good at cooking" I added while grinning awkwardly, many times avoiding eye contact with Nyokap.

"Decide with him."

"Why Mom? Lo also said he was a good boy, diligent, hard working. But why now tell me to break up?" protest me while approaching Nyokap.

"The company needs you."

"Where's Frank? Where's Jessica? Where's Celine? Where's Wilson? They each already hold a branch company, right? There is no more part for me. That's why I've been living like a drunken loser and playing with girls."

Frank is my older brother, Jessica and Celine are my older sisters and they are twins. Wilson is Jessica's husband. They are all smart to take care of the company and are classified as talented. As it has been in the setting since in the womb to become CEO. While I, the child conceded who in the setting became a loser. By the time I was in school, my brothers were busy building their own kingdoms. I finished college at Harvard with a predicate almost failed of course it does not count anymore because it is considered a realtor who only hitchhiked fame.

"Dad needs you." Eyes suddenly sad. At this close distance, I'm sure that his eyeballs are glazed.

"Emang Dad why?" ask me there's something weird.

"Your dad's getting sick. Mom and Dad have always felt guilty for ignoring you. Mom and Dad want you to go to the headquarters." said Nyokap, whose arrival slowly began to collapse.

"What pain?"

"There's a problem in his nerves. It might be paralyzed." Tears began to fall.

"But if I go to the center, how do the other brothers look? They're definitely not gonna be happy this snot kid replaced Dad."

"You're not replacing Dad. There's still Mom. But Mom wants you to learn and one day if Mom and Dad are gone, we'll give you all our shares. And by the time it comes, your brothers won't be able to do anything anymore." Nyokap gripped my hand as she pleaded.

"Lia how?"

"The girl let him finish his studies and bring him to work in the company. Mom won't stand in the way of her success because Mom also feels she has a bright future" Nyokap said

"But I want Lia to be my wife."

"Son, you yourself know that's impossible. Isn't this also the reason you locked yourself up here? You realize, too, that Mom and Dad wouldn't approve of it. Instead of Mom acting, we better just decide. Mom promised as long as she worked at the company, Mom would always make sure she was okay. Mom will give him a salary as you wish. His college will also be paid off under the pretext of a scholarship."

I'm speechless. I still don't want to, but I know that one day it will end.

"This is what's best for Lia, son. Think of. Before it's too late. Mom's worried about Dad's condition." The fort of Nyokap finally collapsed.

Smoke crying.

"Mom, Lia will also cry and be sad like you when I leave her."

"The food must be decided immediately. Lia was young, still beautiful, she could still find another man who loved her. Believe, Son. The pain Lia felt would not be comparable to the pain Mom had to leave Dad who had been together for thirty-five years."

"Bro, I feel guilty to Lia." I called Farhan midnight in week three.

"So you don't feel guilty for the dozens of girls you live in in a more cruel way?"

"They accept my money." my elak

"At least Lia got affection from lo, Lia managed to enslave you, do not be hypocritical if Lia did not receive money from you."

"Yes, he accepted my money but he didn't know it was my money. That's money from the proceeds he sells ice that even though it's all I bought."

"Well, the point is Lia's the winner of all the girls you've ever slept with. So if you want to feel guilty, Lia's in last place." Farhan tried to convince me. "Trust me bro, Lia strong chick. He'll be fine. Hasn't he been living alone all this time? He's been fine all this time, hasn't he? Especially now that he's in college. Who knows, he immediately fell in love with a senior brother who was careless and lo who did not know the status of the busker will soon be forgotten."

"Gue uda is in love with Lia."

"Bro. End this play, okay? Back to yourself. Rest assured Bro, you're not in love. Just too deep into your role and feeling it's just a feeling of comfort. I dare bet my new mercedes if you return a month, you will escape Lia."

"So how am I supposed to be?"

"Lo went home to Lia and acted as usual."

"Trus."

"Torus, that,...."~~~~
