Trapped in Love Miss Arogan
17.

Justin put his bike in front of the fence from a public cemetery. The young man then stepped into the cemetery.

Justin's footsteps finally stopped at a tomb with a worn-out gravestone. He then crouched down beside the tomb with a sweet smile that began to expand.

Justin took out two roses from his bag and placed one of them on the tomb, near the headstone.

Another rose that had withered over the tomb. Justin put it there too. Every day Justin always came to visit the grave of his parents and put a stalk of roses.

Justin rubbed the headstone from his mother's grave which had been grown with green grass.

"Hi mother, sorry Justin came a little late to come today. That's because I have a lot of work." Justin smiled.

"I'm sorry, the flowers haven't bloomed yet" Justin told his late mother. "The flowers at home are almost gone. Justin couldn't afford to buy but was too embarrassed to come without flowers."

Justin looked back. The cemetery looks empty.

"It's usually a crowded funeral, isn't it, Mom?" justin murmured again at his mother's grave. "Was it raining, huh?"

Justin shook his head.

"Then Justin couldn't stay here for long. If it rains, Justin's college bag gets wet. Justin has only one bag."

Justin took a deep breath and lowered his head.

"Every day Justin comes here but still can not reduce the feeling of longing in the heart. Honestly, it's still hard for Justin to live without a father and a mother here."

"I'm sorry Justin, but Justin still wishes mom and dad were alive, is here to cheer up the exhausted Justin."

Drrr….

Drrr…

Justin felt the vibration of his phone in his jacket pocket. He pulled out his phone and saw the name of his best friend, Charlie, on the screen.

"What's wrong?" justin asked after picking up the phone call.

"Where are you?" charlie asked without further ado, as soon as the phone was picked up.

"I have a need for a moment. Why?"

"We have an appointment this afternoon. Why haven't you come yet? Did you forget?" scorn Charlie.

"I didn't forget. Just relax."

"Then why haven't you arrived here?"

"I have a need."

"So are you gonna be long?"

"Just for a second. Besides, it's not far from where we're gonna meet. You wait there for a second, okay. I'll be here any minute."

"okay."

Justin put his phone back in before getting up. He stepped in to find his father's grave and put another rose there.

After saying goodbye to his father, Justin immediately stepped out of the cemetery.

Justin who was currently staring at the food plate in front of him immediately turned to Charlie.

Justin did not answer. He just looked at Charlie and shook his head.

"Do you like the food?" ask Charlie wonder.

"Like."

"Then why don't you eat?"

"I just don't like the price."

Justin's honest words made Charlie chuckle.

"Don't laugh, Charlie!" justin says sharply.

"Okay, okay." Charlie answered still smiling.

Charlie finds out that Justin is upset with him when he meets at an expensive restaurant.

Justin hates expensive restaurants, that's what Charlie knows. Ah, how easy it would be for him to make Justin feel upset like this.

"Don't worry." Charlie waved his hands casually. "Don't I tell you I'll pay the bill."

"Stay away. It doesn't matter who's gonna pay the bill, Charlie. Look at this, it's expensive. You're throwing away a lot of money just for this little meal."

Charlie put down the knife and fork he was holding and then sighed lazily.

"Oh, come on, Justin, I brought you here to enjoy this. We are celebrating the success of getting into the same university. How long have we been in the University but we can only celebrate after some time.."

"We can celebrate in our chicken porridge shop right? Why come here."

"This is the first time I've brought you to a place like this and you're nagging like my mom."

"I just don't want you to be wasteful. Remember, we are students now. You should've been more frugal."

"Yes, okay. Just this once." Charlie rolled his eyes lazily. "So, can you eat quietly now?"

Justin did not answer.

"Come Justin. Smile, I need your smile." Charlie said.

Justin looked at Charlie for a moment and then gave a small smile before lazily grabbing the knife and fork.

"Well, that's how it should be. Eat it leisurely since."

"Quickly eat after this we do the task of the lecturer."

"Good, fine. Your mind is just a college assignment."

"of course. We're paying a lot of tuition for this."

"Okay, we'll spend this in peace and then we'll just go to the park to do the job."
