The flashback


Afternoon when the school children come home, not straight home. Instead of snacks first, sightseeing, eskul, tutoring, or dating. Just like now Amira and Rega are waiting for their gravy cilok order.


Amira sat beside Rega while watching the cilok mamang making spices while Rega from earlier noticed Amira from beside her.


"Who is it, the first time the originator made a lick? It's so great that my boyfriend loves it." Rega chirps on the sidelines they are watching the Mamang.


"What if you know what you want?" Amira turned her gaze, this time at Rega beside her. A little surprised to find Rega nearby and was watching him.


"You say thank you. Because I cilok doang girlfriend I become very happy." He said with an amused sigh.


Amira hit Rega's shoulder softly because of her unclear speech and laughed because she felt funny.


"You are given a choice. Chose a peck or me?"


Amira glares her eyes at the random question from her boyfriend.


"What the hell? It's so weird."


"Seriously. Try answering. Which would you be sadder, left out or me?" The question is the most important question in the world, plus his serious expression.


"Hmmm..." Amira pretended to be thinking while playing her finger on her chin like she was thinking hard.


The mamang who noticed them felt like commenting. However, he endured because his name was also a child who was hit by puberty. Although the Mamang feels like wanting to water the ciloknya sauce on Rega.


"Select where the spit." Because Amira had not answered.


"Select the lilok."


Look at Rega's facial expression. He displayed his most sorrowful expression as if he was cooking noodles but the spice was not in the wrapper.


"You don't love me, do you? Seriously, I feel like you're an affair. You're dating just as cute there."


A spoonful of jatoh when the Mamang heard the most disgusting sentence in the world like him. Make Amira laugh loudly because she can be sensitive to the Mamang who feels amused at Rega's speech.


"Udah, Neng. Most actually dating the same cilok. Stay in that rich guy. This time doang feel rivaled, what if there are more handsome rivals as rich, try?" Said the Mamang while handing over two bowls containing soy sauce and various kinds of mixture.


Amira's laughter was exploding, it felt like she did not have a heavy burden as long as she could still walk with Rega and eat Mang Tarno's pegs.


"Si Mamang, shirk. Rich never fuss about dating. I won't buy it tomorrow." Sindir Rega turned back because he felt insinuated.


"Oh, my goodness. Sok mango, gera eaten we now mah, yes. Mamang back used to digeladenin the others, yes."


"Don't make the dong even worse."


"If I was ugly, would you not be like me?" He returned with a strange question.


"No."


"That means I'm a handsome guy now?"


"Don't you? Very confident."


"Look that's why you want to be with me now, right?"


Amira did not answer the question, she just shook her head and started stirring her food and stuffing it into her mouth.


"Switch, don't answer. You love me more than me."


Amira's eyes glared at Rega with her mouth full of twitching. Rega who was originally upset became laughing because he saw the cuteness of his girlfriend whose cheeks suddenly stained.


"Feminine,"


"Hmm?"


"Don't stay with me, huh? Whatever the situation is later. Same as I keep." His words in a sincere tone, made Amira pause her spoon which she was lifting.


...----------------...


"Muzzit." Spontaneous speech of Amira when seeing someone in front of her.


Someone who had been the reason for being happy, someone he had been proud of his mother, someone he had once loved so much that he forgot that it felt sad how it was. Amira used to think her world would be fine if she stayed with Rega. However, it turns out that he became one of the causes of the destruction of his life.


"Huh? You familiar?" Alkan looked at the two people in front of him in confusion.


Rega cleared his throat slowly, clearly visible on his face he was shocked and disappointed at Amira's response. Because it looks like Amira really does not like their current meeting.


"Yes, Amira, uh.." Rega who was about to answer it glanced at Amira at a glance, he was afraid of wrongly answering. Should he be honest if they have been in a relationship in the past or just answered as a schoolmate in the past?


"He used to fit me in high school." Amira answered first.


Alkan nodded, "Oh, what a familiar dong?"


"So. Just know it."


The sentence made Rega pause for a moment, then exhaled his breath because the regret came back into him.


He shouldn't have been angry at Amira because the girl ignored him, because this was all his fault. Yeah, it's his fault he used Amira in the past because of his father's duties.


The regret was still well stored in him, whether he had to apologize to Amira how many times for the girl to forgive him until finally Rega decided to move. Away from his life, Rega thought it was the only way.


"Yes, high school." Rega spoke so.


"Cool. Dong's reunion, huh?" Canda Alkan even though he was sensitive like there was another relationship between the two people in front of him. Alkan was curious, but he had to keep it well first.


"Yes, what's Ami?" Ask Rega suddenly. He stood up without any interest in sitting down.


"Good." Answer without intending to ask back.


Rega nodded, "What age is Leo now? She good?"


"Good." The answer is like not being interested in answering.


"I'm sorry about your family news. Sorry, I couldn't come." He said seriously because he really felt guilty. He was too afraid to see Amira, he was too afraid to see the destruction of the girl that made him sick.


"Father. Just relax. It's been a long time." He answered without seeing Rega. Amira remained focused on her food.


"If so. I'll go back first, okay? Ami, I'm back first, huh? There's other business."


"Yes! Be careful on the road, bro."


Rega nodded and left from there. Leaving Amira and Alkan both back.


Amira exhaled, she remained focused on her food. Alkan watched Amira curiously.


"What?" Ask Amira because the gap is kept in mind.


"Father. Seriously memanan doang?"


Amira didn't answer that. Does he have the right to tell Alkan about it? Should she start opening up to him?


"Why?"


"Father." The answer is no clearer.


I don't know why it felt like he had to tell everything to this human in front of him. I feel bad about hiding something.
