THE RECYCLE LOVE
Chapter 11

Eca walked down the classroom at her tutoring place. The bag is attached to the boat with an umbrella in the left hand. Not a single student passed by. Only a few teachers seemed to be busy with their affairs. There's about 10 minutes of Eca being late. But he chose to walk casually. He was too tired to run. After school Eca eat, take a bath, call a while with a heart, compose a book of tutoring and go to the tutoring place. He didn't get a nap. That's why this afternoon he was a little bit weak. Too lazy to waste energy running to class. Still he was late.

"excuse Miss. Sorry I came late."

"mmm. Please sit down Eca"

Eca walked slowly to her chair. He looked into Cio's eyes. He immediately threw away his face. Replied Cio with a small clack.

"Eca pig, you're so late today. Sure overslept. Basic kebo." whispered Cio from behind.

The eca regulates the breath. Forgetting the demons behind him. He looked next door and smiled sweetly at Yuyu. Which Yuyu replied with a wider smile.

"why is it too late Ca?"

"i was late for school."

"it must have been Yu's first date at school. Not going straight home." whispered Cio.

Eca did not answer but gave a death glance. Raising his fist towards Cio. Instead of being afraid, Cio even popped his tongue while putting on a silly face.

The tutoring kids scatter out when the lesson is over. Classes were quite stressful today because of an impromptu quiz from Miss Fika. It was successful in making Eca's head feel like breaking. Questions were taken from last year's national exam. Eca couldn't answer the quiz. Either way he tried to think about the answer remains deadlocked. He just scratched the paper while pretending to think so as not to look stupid. Though he was cool to think of martabak that he wanted to buy after tutoring. What a good taste to eat tonight.

"Ca, why bring an umbrella? it doesn't rain anymore."

"oh, good thing you reminded Yu. It belongs to Gian. Btw, where's Gian going?"

"already road. Look ahead if there's still."

"okay, deluan ya."

Eca runs in search of Gian's whereabouts. Don't let that guy go deluan. He had to return the umbrella. He was carrying the man's umbrella.

"Gian!"

"Gian stop!"

Gian only turned his head for a moment, then stepped away again. Eca swearing small. His breath was broken. The risk of having excess weight becomes more easily tired. But he had to speed up his legs. After arriving next to Gian he restrained the man.

"i-this is your p-umbrella" said Eca ngos-ngosan.

"take it."

"no ah! It's your umbrella."

"i told you. The umbrella you hold. I don't want to hold it anymore."

"wah! So disgusted are you the same as me?! I don't have a disease if you want to know!" Eca raised her tone. Her self-esteem also flinched.

"sadly yes."

"fuckin!" Eca rejected Gian strongly while looking at the man furiously.

"I SAID DON'T TOUCH" Gian attacked by suppressing his every word.

Eca was a little afraid to hear Gian's sentence that sounded not playful. It turned out that the man was disgusted at her. He blatantly hates Eca.

"o-okay, the umbrella is for me. No such free umbrellas. Wleee thanks for the free umbrellas so my money is not up for umbrella. I'll use this umbrella well." said Eca as calmly as possible even though her heart started to rumble because of Gian's pelotage.

"the shit!" Gian left Eca.

Eca looked at that back hatefully. He had never been treated like this before. Seriously, being considered disgusted by others severely hurt Eca's self-esteem. Indeed many insult Eca but there has never been anything as blatant as Gian. Many stay away but never say it directly. For some reason, hearing that sentence in front of his face was like squeezing Eca's heart. So hurt. He felt that there was no pride in himself as a human being. He had been trying to appreciate the man by returning him well. Instead of being appreciated, he was insulted. All the good things that exist in the man seemed to fall out of Eca's thinking since hearing Gian's sentence.

The girl squeezed her skirt tightly. He held back his tears from falling. He doesn't want to look cute. However, he could not hold it anymore. He's bowing inside. Calling it down, Eca immediately rubbed it. Once again fell, Eca again rubbed it. While walking towards the bus stop, Eca continued to do the same.

Arriving home, Eca immediately entered the room. Locking the meeting door. He slammed himself into the bed and drowned his face. His phone shook but was ignored by Eca. Until it stopped vibrating, Eca still did not want to move from her position. Slowly his eyes began to heavy and drowsiness attacked.

"Eca wake up Ca."

"Eca wake! Mama said you haven't eaten daritadi!"

"yes yes" answered Eca hoarsely, trying to restore his life.

"quick Eca!"

"yes yes" while opening the door.

"uh why are you? Crying out?"

"not just tired, so my eyes are bloated."

"i'm more deluan born than you. Don't be so pretentious as to lie."

"no brother." whining Eca does not want to be denied.

"ck cepet down. Eat."

"lazy. Eat a martabak. We buy, brother?" said Eca while blinking.

"you're ready. Brother wait downstairs."

"okay."

This is where Eca and Erna are now in the city park while enjoying a chocolate cheese martabak with each orange juice wrapped. His sister still reminded him to eat fruit because their food contains a lot of fat. Eca resigned only the important desire was achieved to eat martabak tonight.

"how's your school?"

"smooth."

"nobody beat you up or bully you?"

Eca was silent for a moment. Then shake his head. There's no way she told her brother that Gian insulted her. Gian could be visited by Erna to the man's house. Erna is brutal. Don't be fooled by his elegant looks, he will turn into a beast if anyone bullies Eca.

"what's sister's work?"

"yes that's. Yes, but there is still pressure from the boss. Big brother boss mad rada-rada. Today is good tomorrow his mood is shattered. The next two days well again uh the next three days ruined again. Every weekday we guess the boss's mood."

"haha. . . Oh, yah sir."

"your head is exciting!" reply Erna sewot.

"i want to get to work quickly."

"regret you later if you are at the age of your sister. Enjoy your time as best you can now. Studying, playing or dating. Satisfied yourself. Because if you enter the world of work. If you want a long vacation, you have to take a vacation first if the company wants to process."

"it's hard too."

"indeed!"

"haha. . . Big brother Sewot really talks about work."

Erna sighed. He thought of the right words. A sentence that did not make Eca confused but could be understood by her sister.

"begini Ca. If it's adult. We are required to work instinctively as well as we want to work. In our work we are given responsibility. We have to do it as well as possible otherwise others will blame us or ourselves who blame us. At this time not everyone is able to deal with it. I hope you settle your youth with yourself and shape yourself as best you can. So when you're an adult your thinking is also mature."

"even though it is shaped in a painful way."

"yes. In a painful way."

Eca breathed slowly. But part of Eca does not accept. If we do good, that person must do good. So that there is balance and peace. But he didn't find it today. And he's angry about it.
