WHAT ABOUT ME?
43

"Jasmine! "

deg

me and Gita looked at each other. Because of the call from him, I turned my gaze to him and then he stopped right in front of me.

"it's you, Jasmin! " said Haris as he scanned me from top of my head to the bottom.

"a-ah yes Ris"

"want to go back to the city, will you wait for the angkot? " his question sounds friendly, not like it used to be the last time.

"yes, tomorrow I'll go to school again" jaeab I made it up.

not because I still keep his nakana in my heart, but because his behavior last time like scorning me is what makes me keep my distance, even I also feel ilfil talking to him.

"a month did not meet, you really turned gini Jas, why now become more beautiful"

I just smiled stiffly, Gita nudged me and told me through a whisper that the questionnaire we were about to ride was already visible.

"then I leave first Ris, it just so happens that his angkot has come" I said

I had no intention of introducing Gita to her because I didn't want her to be close to a man who only looked at someone's physique, and I'm sure that Gita knows who the man in front of me is right now.

"oh yes already, heart yes, when when if you go home I will play to your house"

angkot stopped and I was immediately put up in a row by Gita, even the words from Haris I did not mind at all, let it be, let it be, I also do not want to be close to a man who always looks at the physical above everything.

sitting next to Gita, I turned my gaze back, apparently Haris was still standing there staring at the angkot who was slowly walking away.

"eh Je, don't tell me that guy was Haris? " ask Gita

I scratched my temple while smiling blandly "without me telling you, apparently you already know Git"

"astaga, it turns out my guess is right, why can you like the same model so anyway.nothing else? "

"why indeed? " ask me wonder

"you don't see, her gaze was a jeez, make me afraid to know. use all scanning from top to bottom, muji muji if you are beautiful, and what was it, just now, he is still looking at us when we have already taken an angkot, duh cringe ih. fix, he is the basket! " he said while taking aim.

"just met you know, you can already judge him so clearly, what I am so bo doh ya, to the point of not seeing his shortcomings at all"

"not bo doh, but too bu cin! "

along the way we continued to tell stories until it did not feel that we had arrived at our destination.

after paying the angkot, Gita and I went straight home because it was late and I also had to pack for school tomorrow.

"don't you stop by Je first? " tag Gita who was about to turn to her house.

"i go straight to the boarding Git, the stage is over this afternoon ashar, I want to dress the uniform first.Greetings to auntie yes, I go home first" my pamit

"yes, I'll say hi, no Je"

I put my tired buh on the bed. After arriving at the kosan earlier, I immediately shower and wash clothes so that tomorrow I do not need to linger in the bathroom because I have to wash first.

I took my phone which was still in the bag to immediately notify my mother, had wanted to immediately notify but because it was exhausted I finally decided to take a shower first.

"assalamu'alaikum ma'am. "greetings when my call was received by my mother.

"alhamdulillah already from half an hour ago ma'am, sorry just ngabarin because Jasmin directly took a bath once he got to kosan"

"alhamdulillah, it's okay brother, what matters is you are fine, later if there is anything directly tell mom yes, if it's time to pay for school also directly call mom"

"yes my dear mother, ready! "

I disconnect the call from my mother after saying goodbye.

I put my phone next to the bed and I looked at the ceiling above me, I remembered my mother's story last night.

#flashback on

"sister." call mom when we just finished praying Maghrib, Gita has gone to the tv room with Jefri while I still fold my face.

"yes ma'am? " i stopped my movements and looked at my mother.

"some time ago, your aunt came to the house, she said there was a need and wanted to borrow money from selling cows, how do you think? "

"what do you want to do, ma'am, is not a rich aunt yes, why arrived the minjem money? " ask me a little astonished.

"he said he wanted to make additional business capital, you know for yourself right, your aunt opened a kiosk in front of the house"

"no need to ma'am, let aunty look for a loan to another, aunt also there is still a husband. Jasmin could not bear if the mother had to slam bones alone to finance Jasmin school while the money left by the mother's father gave to the aunt"

not that I don't want to help, it's just that our lives today are different, let alone the sick mother at this time must be the backbone of the family, if possible to choose, she said, I'm better at home and at work, but unfortunately mom doesn't want that, mom wants me to go to school at least to high school.

"but your aunt will be angry again Brother"

"let's just mom, if they disturb mom, mom just report to RT sir, let them deter, they're crazy respect and praise"

I know very well the character of my aunt, because it was too spoiled by grandmother, she even had the heart to disturb her own sister's family, namely mother.but even so, even so, she did not want to, he will attack silently because he does not want to be seen by others even though my neighbors must have known the character of my aunt.

mother nodded resignedly, maybe he was worried that the aunt would be angry and the grandmother would also be angry with the mother because she did not want to help her favorite daughter, but so be it, I'm just anticipating everything I don't want.

out of curiosity, I moved and opened the door.

"uh mom, what's up mom? " ask me to Ima's mom

"that's in front of you a guest, he said your friend"

"who is mom? "

"who was it, Wiliam if not wrong, try you ahead just let me know clearly"

"yes Jasmin ahead first yes ma'am, thank you for being told" I said all goodbye to the future.

I walked towards the living room while Ima turned towards her house.
