THE RECYCLE LOVE
Chapter 4

Eca ate a fried banana made by her mother. While watching tv, he started taking fried bananas one by one. It did not feel like 6 pieces had entered his stomach. On the seventh fry. His hands were patted hard. Eca glanced at the perpetrator with question marks.

"why the hell ma?"

"how much have you eaten? How can you be skinny if you eat constantly?!" mama's exclaim raised the tone of voice to show some tense veins around her neck.

"yes mama too why should the cooking be delicious?? I can't control my eating."

"what did you say? You want a mama who cooks that bad? So it's the wrong mama if you get fat like this because of your mama's cooking??? Ha! Really!" exclaimed mama irritatedly while shaking her head at the end.

You can feel your eyes as if they want to get out of their place. In this situation, her beautiful mother in the eyes of others will turn into a new hen giving birth to a child. It's grumpy! Eca was a little afraid to see her wrathful mother. Not once twice the mother reminded to control eating so that Eca weight is reduced and healthier. But Eca is really lazy to do it. He is comfortable with his body. Although often insulted but while he has a girlfriend means he is still selling. Fat girlfriends like Nehan, especially if they are skinny, he thought.

"you don't want to know from today you have to diet!" firmly the mother.

"yes yes" answered Eca with ogah-ogahan.

"there's learning! You're in 12th grade, you're gonna be testing soon."

"yes ma."

"oh yes, my mom registered you for tutoring. Tomorrow go to the tutoring at 3 pm. Don't let it not come." - Mama's sweat

"don't tell me yet ma."

"this is just Mama told me. Especially?!"

Eca walked towards her room in a doldrums. Dealing with a mama who is in a crooked mode is not the right choice. According to him is his ninja path this time. When it comes to diet he is very lazy to do it. Not just lazy but he can't. Food was like a second heart to him. Not eating is the same as dying. But he can still outsmart the diet because he can keep eating in the room. The problem is les. He could not be absent from tutoring because surely his mother monitored from the tutoring side. It is important to come first. Knowing or not is a business later.

Drrt . . .

Mobile Eca vibrating sign incoming message. He immediately got out of bed to study. Glanced at a glance incoming messages coming from the lover, he just opened the message.

Nehan :

Ca, what again? Yuk VC. I want to play a Tattoo song for you.

After reading Nehan's message, Eca immediately ran towards the door and locked it. Then he sat on the bed and pressed the video call button on the phone. Soon he is connected to Nehan who seems to be holding on to his favorite guitar.

"well, please" Eca tried to connect her earphones.

"well, already"

"has Ca eaten?"

"had just eaten fry but got repetitive mama because of eating mostly. He said I need a diet"

"it's okay you're still pretty in my eyes."

"you're not shy about having a fat boyfriend like me?"

"where is the fat? You are healthy"

"hehehehe is too healthy well be this excessive fat"

"not really, baby. Here I want to play the same Tattoo song as you. Wanna hear it?"

"want to want to" Eca replied excitedly.

Nehan chuckled small. He was also anxious to see the lover who was very excited to hear the sound of his guitar quotes. The melody of the song is heard from the earphones of Eca. He stared in amazement at the skill of his lover performing the song Tattoo very well. When the last quote marks the end of the song, Eca claps a small applause appreciating Nehan's ability. Again Nehan laughed and smiled broadly at Eca.

Tok!!!

Eca jumped when she heard the door of her room being knocked firmly from outside. He reflexively turns off the video call and hides the phone under the pillow. He set his voice for a while before replying.

"yes, why?"

"what are you?? Not studying?!!"

"no. I'm learning ma!" eca shouted in the room and immediately opened her book at the study table.

"watch out if you don't learn! Mama confiscate your hp."

Eca just felt relieved after no longer heard the voice of mama from outside. Though earlier Eca had made sure his voice was small when talking to Nehan. But the basis of his mother who has the sharpness of the listener above the average at certain times for example to snoop out a courtship like earlier.

***

Now Eca arrived at the tutoring place her mother had told her yesterday. He was led by the teacher into a class. After a brief introduction in front of the class, Eca sat at the back of the number two section because only the chair had no owner. Eca sat awkwardly. He didn't know the people in this room. He circulated his gaze slowly to see the faces of the class occupants. Too bad. He really doesn't know them.

"Hi, my name is Yuyu" whispered the woman next to him.

"I'm Eca" Eca replied calmly and smiled slightly stiffly.

"from which school?"

"Pearl SMA"

"there are two students from Pearl also in this class. But they seem to be late. They are often late."

"who?"

"that's the new one coming in"

"sorry late Miss" they said aloud from the door.

"just come in"

"thank you Miss"

Ever since that voice sounded from Eca's auditory senses she did not stop staring at the two men. He knows them. One of them is Eca's nemesis. Until he looked them in the eye he tried to nod for a while.

"eh Eca pigs can be here?" whispered the man took a seat behind Eca.

"silence crazy Cio" Eca glanced at Cio sharply.

"eh Gian since when did Eca pig enter tutoring? The feeling is just we're both pearls here"

Gian did not reply, only briefly lifting both his shoulders. Cio was still wondering why Eca entered tutoring. And why should it be here?

"my name is Eca, Cio asu!" whispered Eca again.

"guys, the storm will continue later. Miss Fika has lyrics on us." Yuyu recalled.

They finally noticed Miss Fika's explanation. Throughout the class, most of the material is not understood by Eca. He only hears matter, enters the right ear and exits the left ear. Not to mention when he was given training, he really struggled. He saw Yuyu next to him dizzy at the thought of an answer while occasionally doodling his answer. However, what Eca did was just dumbfounded. He doesn't know anything. Gawat, instead of getting smarter can-can Eca looks like her go into this tutoring. Ma, I want to give it up, the inner Eca held back her crying because she did not know anything. At other times dizzy to think of the answer he dizzy himself because he did not know what to do.

At a time like this, Eca realized that she was far behind from the others. Other children begin to dream in the future. He himself did not dare because he did not have enough ability to compete. Problems like this, Eca can not answer let alone about entering college. Seeing this, Eca began to feel the turmoil in her stomach. Eca wants to go back in childhood without having to think about what she wants. Being busy with friends is fun. But whatever it takes, time keeps turning and he's stuck in this moment. He is required to think about his future which he does not know at all how it looks. He doesn't know what his interests are. And where will he go after this. Huff . . .

Finish tutoring, Eca get out of the room. He could no longer afford to share the air with the smart people in the class. Even Cio who he thought had the same brain capacity as him was smart as well. It's just that the man is very able to compensate for the time of learning and playing. If Eca told her friends that Cio could answer the difficult question of Miss Fika earlier, they would not believe it. Because all this time Cio is always cool with his mobile legend every break at school. But it turns out that beyond that he studied earnestly. Was it just Eca who stopped in place without any progress? Eca was really lethargic on her way.

"Eca pig how can you teach here?" Cio followed Eca.

"be told mama"

"great pity. Surely your brain wasn't happy just now, was it? Looks the hell out of your face like a pinched pig."

Eca closed her eyes. Take a deep breath while clenching your hands. Just once he floated his hand on Cio's head could be sure the man's brain was jarring from the spot. What Eca wants to do right now. Having Cio talk is a big mistake. It was not that his mood was getting better that he was getting hotter like a stove spilled with kerosene.

"Silent Cio the dog!! I can kick it right now if you're still talking." point Eca at the bottom of Cio.

"small" Cio's reflexes shut down his assets.

"Gian Gian, when will Eca kick my eagle? This is the asset of the future. Eca itchy huh? Gapain he messed with the eagle people ihhh" Cio fight on Gian who was about to pass them.

"Asu jo!!" soon Eca goes after Cio.

Cio immediately makes a shield using Gian's body to avoid the hand of Eca who wants to catch him. Gian was made dizzy by the two people who did not stop blocking his steps. Cio coolly shifted to the right and to the left while sticking his tongue out at Eca. Not staying silent Eca caught Cio using both hands that automatically doubled Gian who was in front of him. From the view of others they could see Eca hugging Gian from behind.

"cie Eca play hug Gian" Yuyu said from behind.
