To My Youth
CHAPTER 52

1 Hour around helping his nephew deliver the order, making Andheera feel tired working, even though he had just done this for the first time, unlike Ben who may have repeatedly done the same activities to help his mother make money.

In front of the newly opened restaurant, Andheera, Ben and Jessy are seen waiting for Brian who is trying to cross over.

                “while waiting for us photos first yuk with his clown.” invite Jessy to Ben while pulling his hand toward the clown who is distributing a promo to people who pass in front of the restaurant, he said, while occasionally joget to make a little entertainment in front of the restaurant that has just opened.

Ben resigned and obeyed the wishes of his girlfriend.

“eonni can please photo us?” jessy exclaimed at Andheera who was seen watching her while thrusting her cellphone, Andheera immediately walked up to the two of them and took a cell phone and photographed it well like a reliable photographer.

After Andheera began counting to take pictures, they also posed as funny as possible, not least with her clowns who posed adorable as well, to make both corners of Andheera's lips lifted.

                “1..2..3 “ checkrek “again 1..2..3 oKeenan udah.” Andheera ended the photo session by directly giving back Jessy's phone along with Brian who had joined in the middle of them.

                “what I missed, let's take a photo together once again.” Invite Brian while setting the phone into selfi mode.

The two adorable teenagers greeted Brian enthusiastically while pulling up Andheera's arm as well to get into the Photo Frame.

Although a little uncomfortable for him, but because Ben pulled his arm, he could not refuse it, he was forced to take pictures along with the look of his alakadar face.

Brian started counting, “1..2.3,” checkrek.

“aah! you are so stiff Andheera, ayolaahh once again okee sincere smile.” Complaining Brian after seeing the results of his shots he found Andheera's expression flat.

                “1..2.3,” wants to end it quickly Andheera was determined to make a better expression than before, he poses with Jessy and Ben at Brian's request.

As soon as Brian checked the photos back, the man who was about to grow up seemed unable to hide his happy smile, seeing the face of the girl he liked look very adorable in the photos he took, he said, makes Brian almost lost control and does not care about the things around him.

                “mana try brother Brian I want to see!” pinta Jessy while lowering the arm of Brian who was holding his phone, followed also by Ben who both wanted to see the results of his photo shots just now.

                “me too, me too.” exclaimed Ben full of enthusiasm.

As usual Andheera just kept quiet waiting for them to finish in order to get into the restaurant together.

Until someone from the inside looks like one of the staff from the restaurant approached the clown, then gave him a rice pack.                                    

                “Luna you can take a break to eat 20 minutes yes, this is your lunch ration.” No wait long the clown immediately received a rice pack complete with a bottle of mineral water.

Feeling quite satisfied with his photo, Brian and the two boys walked in while embracing each other like they had been friends for years, they look so familiar and not awkward at all passing through Andheera who is left alone walking behind.

But there is one thing that feels stuck in the heart of Andheera, when he was about to enter following the steps of his friends who had already entered the restaurant.

Andheera's two sharp eyes could not take her eyes off, at the clown preparing to open the head of the puppet covering his entire head and face.

                “dia is so beautiful but why did she choose a job like this.” muttered Andheera.

Until a few minutes Andheera continued to notice the clown woman who began to eat her rice wrapper on the outside of the restaurant.

The woman sped up her feed, either because she was starving or she had to finish her food quickly. But one thing was for sure, the look on that face really troubled him.

Inside Resto.

                “where did you come from, I thought you ran away and left us here, look they both have ordered a lot.” Brian said as Andheera finally joined their table.

                “eonni can not if I later add to be wrapped as well.” Jessy pinta complete with expression so cute.

                “hey! noona is still a student do not make my noona run out of money.” Timpal Ben did not accept if Jessy wanted to add her food to take home, hearing her friend's nagging Jessy even pouted.

                “so long as you don't eat everything yourself, you have to share.” Andheera said.

                “OKEE!! I will share it with Uju, Joan and brother Yerim if there is still left I will share it with both my parents hihihihi.” he exclaimed enthusiastically.

                “many members of your family are like kittens only.” Temptation Brian accompanied by a chuckle at the end.

                “huh!" Jessi was upset while enjoying the food that began to arrive one by one..

                “you still have a sister? I thought Yerim only had 2 twin sisters.” Andheera.

                “eonni knows brother Yerim?” Jessy was a little confused.

                “iya she's my classmate.” Said Andheera again.

                “waaaahhhhhh you deserve to be very kind to me thanks eonni. Oiya Mmm. I just want to make sure that Dheera eonni and Brian oppa are not dating right?” jessy asked suddenly made the situation awkward for an instant.

Brian and Ben compactly coughed so surprised at Jessy's random question. “uuhuuuk...uuhuuk..!!”

                “what's why?” andheera's response was relaxed while others were busy relieving her cough by drinking the water in front of her.

                “because I will marry Brian oppa when I grow up.” He said with a firm tone as well as a big smile.

                “HEY!! You can't say that,” exclaimed Ben as if he didn't accept Jessy's decision.

                “that's why, I think I'm pretty enough tuh.” Jessy said, it seems like she did not care much about Ben's words, she continued eating again while Ben was still pouting annoyed.

                “okee I'll wait for you in 10 years, I'll come to propose to you.” Brian's words further trigger jealousy in Ben.

                “really ahahahaha!! AGREE, I promise to keep my ring finger empty until the time comes.” Although Jessy knew it was just a piece of crap that Brian was throwing as a comforting phrase for her, she still felt so happy that she could not stop smiling as she chewed her food.

Likewise with Brian, he also welcomed Jessy's sweet smile with a smile box flagship as if this world had them both, they said, andheera and Ben at the same table are nothing but invisible dust.

                “nih eat a lot yes so you can grow as high as Andheera hihihi.” added Brian while rubbing Jessy's head gently.

                “gak want, I prefer to look cute beside oppa rather than almost equal high oppa.” said with a slightly spoiled tone.

                “astaga! if you two are not going to eat go!” ben exclaimed with burning emotions that could not bear to see unexpected romance situations.

Brian and Jessy are shocked to hear Ben's jolt, then end the short romance scene and go back to eating his food.

“you're why,” murmured Jessy slowly complete with a sharp glance towards Ben because he felt strange with his sohib attitude.

While the other 3 people were busy arguing with both sharp eyes Andheera glanced towards the bathroom, she caught a glimpse of the clown walking into the bathroom with his dim face.

                “where are you going?” brian asked when he saw Andheera rising from her seat.

                “bathroom.” He answered, then walked to the bathroom.

                “padahan just ate some bribes already to the bathroom aja.” Jessy muttered while watching Andheera's steps.

Meanwhile in the bathroom.

As soon as he opened the bathroom door, he had found someone accidentally hit the clown to make the phone he was holding fell, he said, and a woman who hit it seemed rushed to not have time to pick up the phone that fell, then left with a hasty apology.

The clown did not look upset or angry, he instead gave a friendly smile to the woman who had now left, then he tried to reach his phone lying on the floor.

But just now he wanted to bend, Andheera's agile arm first grabbed his phone to try to get the clown's phone.

Because Andheera's thumb accidentally touched the phone screen, making the clown's cell phone screen light up and display a photo of a teenage girl who is not familiar to him.

Both eyes of Andheera grew so surprised to know the truth who the clown woman who stood before him.

When Andheera returns her phone with a slight smile engraving on her face, she gets an unexpected response from the clown woman.

                “his sister Anha.. mute.” Andheera nodded as the woman thanked him with sign language.

The woman immediately turned her body after she finished thanking Andheera for mirroring and washing both hands.

While Andheera was still watching him from the reflection of the mirror in front of her, she felt that something was suddenly piercing the inside of her heart.

A snippet flashed through her mind as she was waiting with her friend Anha at the hospital, while waiting for Lyra's surgery, Anha had told her about herself so that the atmosphere did not seem awkward and could slightly melt.

                “does you also not remember me Andheera, we were 1 Junior High even I had 1 class with you.." even though Andheera did not respond, Anha continued her story.

"i can't believe we're meeting again now, not just in school but in the same class.”.

                “although I was not sure I could attend Kirin School at first, but my brother insisted that I go there, he said I had to be in a good place so that I would not be underestimated by others like him who are just ordinary high school graduates, my brother also sacrificed his college to be able to focus on working to pay for me to go to school there, I'm happy but at the same time I feel guilty for him.” Further again.

                “Kakku... only works in a small office as an administrative staff, and, if he can continue his studies maybe he can get a better job because he is very smart.” Quite frankly, who then leaned on Andheera's shoulder while trying as hard as possible not to shed tears of pills.

                “what a family usually is like this, sacrificing himself on the pretext of looking after his other family so that he feels fine.” Andheera said in his heart.

Before long the woman went past Andheera and threw her last friendly smile, Andheera only responded with a faint smile before she completely disappeared from sight.

After a few minutes Andheera came out of the bathroom, the sweet girl immediately walked to her table again and continued to eat lunch with her friends.

                “why with your face?” ask Brian again as soon as Andheera sits in his chair.

                “no,” reply Andheera flat then continue eating her.

                “it looks like it's time I go.” Brian said as he cleaned his cutlery in a bowl and drank a mouthful of water.

                “work again oppa?” ask Jessy.

                “iya I can not be late so I leave now yes, thanks for eating Andheera, next time I will treat you! bye.” Then he ran as fast as lightning.

                “when the food has not reached the stomach hufft, eonniii. what Brian oppa is as poor as it should work part time in some places. Not to mention oppa also has to focus on school lessons because soon oppa will graduate and also his trainne period, I feel sorry for him.” Jessy said as she looked at Brian who was running small out of the restaurant.

                “if you feel sorry for him you are the only one who meets his needs.” Andheera replied casually as she chewed her food.

                “eonni, I also know poor, I get pocket money from helping deliver bread orders not for free. Don't equate me with you eonni.”.

Hearing Jessy's last sentence made Andheera frown her forehead.

                “eonni thinks I don't know, apart from your usual bike, eonni wears all branded goods, as well as your fashion, he said, although it looks simple only shirts and jeans but it all bermerk.” he explained while looking at Andheera from the top to the part of the sneakers he wore.

                “do you not think that what I wear is fake.” Andheera said.

                “hey ayolaah! eonni underestimated me, I often see it because all my friends wear the same brand, I can know with just one look.” he exclaimed with a little raise his tone.

                “how about me?” timbrung Ben suddenly made a sound.

                “you're the same as me, wait.but come to think of it like the jacket Brian oppa wore also branded, let alone his watch, arghhh!! I couldn't notice clearly other than seeing his handsome face huuh.”

                “YAA!” jolt Ben as he stomps the spoon into his bowl.

                “astaga, you why the hell.” Shocked Jessy almost felt her heart move.

                “Stop calling it oppa, don't you love Indonesia?!” grumbled Ben.

                “you know, today you're really weird Ben! usually you never comment, you even accompany me in the concert video at Yusup.”

                “it.. “

                “are you done Jessy?” thumping Andheera, trying to end the debate between Ben and Jessy.

                “aahh yes I have finished kok.” he replied while tidying his cutlery.

                “you wait outside, I will pay first.” added Andheera then went to the cashier after drinking a mouthful of mineral water.

                “oke.” say Ben and Jessy together.
