The Mina Love Story
Chapter 5

At 11 noon Lubena was getting ready to wear a t-shirt and jeans, her hair was ponytail. Even though she only wears sunscreen and a thin layer of lipstick, she still looks beautiful. It's true said people, whatever a beautiful person wears even if it's just "just" will look beautiful.

"Where are you going early in the morning?" Mina woke up rubbing her swollen eyes from crying until dawn.

"It's the afternoon, princess!" mocking answer.

"Gue wants to take a car in the mall noh parking lot, while I'm staying." He answered while fixing his bangs against the mirror.

"Geez I forgot, I was anther. Zent2." Mina got out of bed.

"Eh uh no need not, I took a taxi online only. You have rest. I want to stop by the clinic first. There's a patient appointment."

Mina glanced then she returned to the mattress hugging the bolster again, whether since when the bolsters at Lube's house became that comfortable.

Since the turmoil hit of course.

"Mina, I've eaten food through an online motorcycle taxi for you. Maybe his brother's in 20 minutes."

"Yes ilah amperepotin all Lub, even though my gausah ga laper."

"Lu must eat, let the gala be strong!" ledek Lube's.

"Damn lo!" mina answered still sad but she knew Lube said that to make her laugh. Laughing in sorrow.

"Yes yes, I'm leaving first." Lube said goodbye while carrying a black bag.

"Yes careful!" mina replied as she continued the rebound.

...***...

Mina was eating the food that Lube ordered through an online ojek at the dinner table. Just one mouthful of teriyaki beef plus a spoon of rice, Mina felt her stomach was full.

Not because of satiety, of course, but his appetite is reduced. His heart that was in turmoil changed his eating mood. Beef teriyaki is one of his favorite foods.

He forced the rice and meat into his mouth again, but his tears fell back. Mina ate the food while crying. Remembering his love story, of course. The food that went into his mouth felt very hard to swallow.

...***...

After finishing the food. Mina made the bed and got ready to go home.

"Lub, I'm back. Make a lot of you already want to meet me, makasi also food yes." Chat his whattsup to Lube.

"Yes alike. Be careful in the path. If there's anything call me yes" replied Lube who was still worried about the condition of his best friend.

...***...

Mina rushes home, not forgetting to wear sunglasses to camouflage her swollen eyes.

"Miss is home? Miss ate?" ask Bi Wati.

"Had Bi. Oiya Bi, I want to rest. Auntie don't have to tell me to come out to eat huh. If I could take the lager myself."

"Non good." Bi Wati was astonished.

...***...

Mina took a step towards the bathroom, and the shower hit her head wet to the tip of her foot. Bak filming a video clip song in case he cried accompanied by water splashing. But he is not acting.

...***...

The 25-year-old woman hugged her knees in bed. His hands reflexively grabbed his cell phone then he typed "Anthony I miss you." Chat sent.

"Gosh..," surprised.

But the rice has become porridge, Mina can not delete the chat. Anthony has read it.

5 Minutes, 10 minutes passed, no answer from Anthony.

drrrttt...

Mina immediately opened the screen of her phone, but the look on her face became sad. Apparently the assumption was wrong, the chat from his mother who entered was not from Anthony.

"Darling you're home? Don't forget to eat. Mom and Dad are going back to Indonesia next Saturday. Miss you dear."

"Yes ma'am, Miss u too." Answer's short.

...***...

Meanwhile Anthony reads a message from Mina then deletes it. Without replying. He was also pensive in his private room.

...***...

Mina again shed her tears, she was very sorry to have foolishly sent a message to Anthony that would clearly not reply to her.

Then his mind dictated each incident one by one what he and Anthony had gone through.

Why is Anthony sometimes like a sincere love him but suddenly throw his feelings.

"Can't be allowed, I have to move on. Anthony treats me like this too often. I have to take a long step for my happiness." Mumbled

...***...

Six days later, Mina's father and mother arrived in Indonesia.

Mina misses both her parents.

"Non Mina is called the Father of the Mother below." Call bi Wati the old housekeeper.

Then Mina went down to her parents who were at the dinner table.

"It's a pity there's something I want to talk about." Rafael warmly invited Mina to sit beside her mother.

"Dad is actually something I want to talk about as well. But please, father, speak." The reply.

"Hmmm... So Gini Mina, Mom and Dad think that you are already at a mature enough age to have a more serious relationship with Anthony. Maybe next month you can get engaged and next year just get married." Said Rafael gently to his beloved daughter.

Usually Mina looks enthusiastic about Anthony, this time her face only shows a sincere smile for her parents not for the decision of her Mother's Father.

"Mother's father, actually Mina wanted to feel freedom. Mina decided to stay some time abroad." He spoke softly to his parents.

Rafael and Kiyoshi immediately frowned in astonishment, they looked at each other.

"Huh? I don't understand. Mina why do you suddenly want to live abroad?"

"Just a few months ko bu, Mina wants to try to live independently on her own. All this time Mina felt life was too easy because Mother's Father always helped Mina. Including when Mina says she likes Anthony, I'm setting us up right away until Anthony's dad gets involved." Her speech.

At that moment, Anthony broke off his relationship with Mina. Anthony asked for time to explain to his parents. So Mina can't be frank with her Mother's Father if her relationship with Anthony is over. So he let it go.

"Where are you going?" ask the Father.

"Mmmmmm..perhaps to Korea." The answer.

"Tomorrow I want to leave the office, Dad, I want to go there in about two weeks." Mina said, asking for permission.

"Your decision is unanimous? What about Anthony?" rafael asked convincingly.

"99.99% I'm sure Dad. No problem, Anthony's busy with his job." Mina replied steady, but dishonest about Anthony.

"What can you do to prepare you to stay there?" tanyanya back.

"Just dad's place to stay, the others I can take care of myself." He answered while grinning the horse.

"You'll take care of it." He hugged his favorite daughter.

Seriate...
