The Rival Beside Me

The Rival Beside Me
Amendment


" Remember La. Your father slammed your bones into high school, not messing around." Tegur Stepmom.


" It's Ma." Chirps his step-sister.


Lala who was badmood and lazy responded directly to her room.


In the morning Lala left the house without breakfast. His father still works outside the city. Clearly he was lazy to argue with his mother and step-sister.


" Remember La. Your father sent you high, not to play games." Her stepmother's voice last night made Lala feel depressed.


Lala looks so grim. Rise did not dare to harm him all day. Sani was unable to do anything. They think it's all because of Dimas.


Lala seems to be busy on her own. As soon as the course was over Lala went straight home and turned her bike towards the funeral.


Under a stretch of blue sky and hot sun in the summer Lala looked at the tomb of her mother.


"God why did you take my mother. I can no longer bear all this burden. God, don't you love me anymore? God how can I trust You? You took away the only happiness I had. God, I want to be happy too. God if only I could choose. I will not choose this miserable life of mine. I really can't take it anymore." Lala said in despair. The joy that Lala had been showing, The fact to cover up all the sadness that He had so far.


The tears flowed and fell to the ground. When emotions and sadness mix into one. A bunch of white roses He put in a place that is now overgrown with green grass. Two years ago her relationship with her mother was gone. As Lala began to enter education at the new University. The tears still soaked his face recalling the memories of two years ago. Where the only loved ones leave for good. Lala lowered her head and took a handkerchief at him. Her hand wiped away the tears that began to flow on her beautiful face.


" lady. See you in the next life. Honestly, I miss you so much."


Lalal stood up and stepped down the path back.


"Sister, where are you from?" The sound made him shocked as soon as he reached his home.


He's Jesi, his step-sister. Even Lala had not been able to fully accept all of this. One month ago, his father married again.


" From the park. Find some fresh air. " Lala told a lie as she walked into her house.


Lala threw her body onto the bed. I hope tomorrow will be better for him.


...***...


Lala's in a hurry to campus. He woke up late this morning. And obviously affect with time. Lala went straight to class. Grateful there are no teachers.


Sani was seen in the classroom.


" Why?" Sani asked as soon as she saw Lala was exhausted.


" I'm just late to get up." Evidently.


Sani refocused on his phone.


" Aiiish My father sucks again to match me with his best friend's son. Even though I was young. Why is my dad so scared I'm not doing it." Gerrutu Sani made Lala turn her head towards him.


" Wasn't that great. He thinks about your future." Lala tried to get her perception out.


" okay. But not so too times. Especially the guy I met at the time, he's not really my type. And I'm telling you, I don't want to." Said Sani still busy looking at his screen.


Naturally, Sani is one of Lala's friends who are quite. His father was a director of the bank.


Lala just smiled hearing the story.


" Oya La's. How about we end up going home from college. Who knows, meet a handsome guy and I can introduce you to my dad. So that my father would not dare to match me. "


" Sorry San. I'm gonna go find a side job. So I can't." Lala said while releasing her book.


" okay. If you've just walked together."Sani understands the position of his best friend.


" It seems like these two days Lala looks grim." Chirps Rise.


He looks like he feels guilty about everything that happened on the campus. He felt, It was He who made Lala suddenly change dramatically.


" That's why you don't keep nosy." Eko.


The lecturer enters the classroom. The room became quiet for a while.


College time does not feel over. BEM activities are also empty. Lala is seen sitting in front of the library. He was busy looking for jobs on his phone.


Seen a job vacancy as a cashier in one of the super markets.Lala directly to the front of the campus area and take a motorcycle to get there.


" It just so happens that we're in a hurry to find a replacement for our resend nuns suddenly." Obviously Miss Rina as her HRD.


" Yes, Mother."


" Didn't it interfere with your college schedule?"


" God is not Mom." Lala.


" Then you're with the afternoon shif. And can you start working today?"


Lala was surprised.


" Ok Mother."


" Then this is your uniform."


Lala immediately put on her work uniform and headed to the cashier head to take the capital according to what Bu Rina taught. Then step foot towards the Kasiran. Bu Rina told Tari to accompany her temporarily until she could really.


...***...


The following days Lala had completely changed dramatically from usual. Semester four is almost over. His tenure as vice-chairman of BEM is almost over. Rise up feeling weird about all Lala's changes.


" La! " Call Rise almost made Lala fall because of her feet.


Lala only responded flatly and coldly. Lala seems to have not responded at all. Even when He deliberately nosy towards her. Lala without much talking and dodging.


" La, what's wrong with you? " Sani is afraid of anything happening with her best friend.


" Why not San."


" What because of Dimas You're like this?"


Lala shook her head.


" Not San. It's my own problem." Lala clear.


As usual, Lala went straight to work. It feels like he really has a comfortable second place besides being on campus.


He's hustling.


" La! I have a need." Call Dimas suddenly.


" I'm sorry Dim. I was in a hurry. Next time." He said, running a little to the parking lot. He was afraid of getting late for work.


Rise up who saw him directly approaching Dimas.


" This must be all because of you!" Accuse Bersahir while pointing to Dimas.


" Abjective of accusation." Speak Dimas while throwing the hand Rise.


" But you betrayed before his eyes." Clearly Rise.


" Aren't you guys, too?"


Rise up laughing.


" Lala didn't betray you like Dim said. I was intentionally. I know you're petty! Tested a little, you turn away." Rise immediately left Dimas standing glued. Between anger and emotion.


Bersungai is chasing Lala. He was curious about Lala's recent changes. But until the parking lot, Lala was not seen the trunk of his nose. He also turned back his steps.


Rise up and set foot toward Kekantin. Eko and John were eating without him.


" It's good that you guys are."Tegur Rise.


" It's delicious. Why wait for you."


Chirps Eko.


" Why wait for someone who is kasmaran." John received the word from the Rise.


" Who is kasmaran. I'm just worried." Rise up and take their food.
