My First Love Story
Episode 81

After dinner, Kezia shuts herself in the room. He sat on the bed hugging his two feet. In front of the phone lit up with Arland's face as the wallpaper. Kezia buried his face and sobbed alone.

“Land, will I be able to get away from you? Maybe my body was there, but not with my heart and mind.” Oozed Kezia who felt really desperate. “God, why does everything feel so heavy?” Kezia looked up at the ceiling of the room.

The phone he had seen since. He started pressing the keypad. Before long, he called someone.

“Haloo...” said voice over there.

Kezia tried to hold back her cries, she wiped the tears that were relentlessly dripping.

“Bun..” said Kezia with doubt.

“Key, what's up, baby? You sick son?” asked Nia who heard Kezia's voice like never before.

“Neither bun, just a little flu aja.” It was Kezia who had to lie.

“Oohh... But have you taken medicine nak?”

“Udah bun...” said Kezia who then fell silent again.

“Key, why are you? Can anyone help you?” Nia's feeling was suddenly bad, especially Kezia calling her this late.

There was a rough breath coming from Kezia's mouth.

“Bun, if you are asked to choose between the happiness of your mother and the happiness of someone you love, who will you choose?” kezia asked with a trembling voice.

“Darling, what's up, how come you suddenly have gini?”

“Bun, I beg you to answer..” said Kezia.

I heard heavy breathing from Nia. He realized, Kezia was not okay, but he could not force him to tell a story.

“Honey, no happiness to choose. From your question, only you yourself know whose happiness is important to you.” Nia with weight.

Kezia. He tried to understand Nia's intentions. Arland and his parents are equally important to him. However, the happiness of both her parents had always been the basis of Kezia choosing every action.

The shadow of Arland and his two parents flashed in Kezia's mind. He could not ignore the smile that he always saw every moment and became his hope.

“Key...” Nia's voice breaks Kezia's daydream.

No more chance for him to regret, a choice must be made immediately.

“Bun, thanks for the time. Sorry I interrupted you.” Kezia immediately ended the call. He did not want his feelings to get worse.

Over there, Nia scrunched her forehead. He really did not understand what really happened to Kezia.

“Land, we enjoy the rest of our time, which may never return.” Inner Kezia while looking at Arland with her pushy gaze.

This morning Kezia was getting ready from morning. She looks beautiful in her uniform and wears a pink sweater. He carried a backpack containing food, a wallet and a cell phone.

When he got out of his room, he immediately headed for the kitchen and took some groceries in the refrigerator that he put into the papper bag. Eliana, who was still in the room, had no idea what her daughter was doing. After Kezia felt the goods he needed to carry were complete, he ran out of the house and boarded an online taxi waiting for him. The car was traveling at medium speed.

About half an hour passed, kezia reached Arland's apartment and ran into the elevator, worried that Arland was rushing to school. Repeatedly he memijit bell apartment unit Arland but the owner still did not open the door. Kezia was not discouraged, he remained standing at the door waiting for Arland to open the door for him.

Arland who heard his bell kept ringing, lazily got up from the bed immediately. He walked with his eyes half closed.

“Ish si ricko nih, rules of entry anyway!” grunting Arland while scratching his non-itchy head.

Arland turned the door handle, then pulled it wide.

“Gosh!” shouted Kezia who immediately turned his back to Arland while closing his eyes.

That morning Arland was wearing only a half-thigh bokser with a thin deep t-shirt and showing his chest and stomach muscles, his hair was very messy.

“Key?!” Shouted Arland in disbelief Kezia was standing before him. Kezia still turned his back on him. “Wait a moment, I'll put on a shirt first.” Said Arland who immediately closed the door of his apartment unit.

“Huufftt basic, no-anything anyway!” muttered Kezia while stroking his chest. Kezia smiled to himself with a blushing face in embarrassment given what he had seen.

Inside the room, Arland immediately put on a sports shirt hanging behind the door. He was really in a hurry for fear of Kezia waiting for too long. After feeling more closed, Arland again opened the door for kezia.

“Key...” greet Arland shyly. Kezia flipped his body towards Arland. He still dared not lift his face. “I've worn clothes time, ..” whispered Arland who also felt awkward.

Kezia turned his face to look at Arland who was standing in front of him.

“Come in...” Arland opened the door wide while pulling Kezia's hand following behind him.

“Sorry, I'm bothering you huh?” lirih Kezia felt guilty. Arland stopped his steps suddenly and made Kezia crash into him. “Gosh! You stop suddenly anyway, like a doraemon!” added Kezia while stepping back away from Arland.

Arland turned around and smiled.

“Eemm... i..” Kezia flirted by himself, not knowing what to say.

“Why hem?” cetus Arland who stepped closer to Kezia.

“That, I want to invite you to skip, hehe..” said Kezia timidly.

“Hah, truant?” arland said, laughing. He did not expect an exemplary student like Kezia to invite him to skip school.

“Iihh even laugh anyway?! I'm going to school again, after all we're free time, so gag to school also gag pa-pa time.” Kill Kezia

Arland stared at the blushing kezia before him. A rare thing kezia behaved like this to her.

“Where are you going to take me?”

“Where ever, the important ones are twinkling!” sahut Kezia with passion.

“Okey, I took a shower.” Arland shuffled Kezia's hair then gently kissed her forehead.

Kezia nodded with excitement.

Arland goes to his room to take a bath, while Kezia prepares to cook breakfast for him and Arland. Not much time Arland spent cleaning his body and pecking himself in front of the mirror. After finishing and looking neat he sat on his dining table chair while looking at Kezia who was still cooking in his small kitchen.

“Need help gag?” ask Arland

“No thanks! Be ready again.” Kezia is cutting vegetables. Arland was smiling. He could not wait for the breakfast Kezia cooked in front of him. “Awww!” yell Kezia

“Why?!” Arland immediately approached Kezia who was holding his index finger. His finger was hit by a knife and left a small wound on his hand. Blood drops coming out of kezia's index finger. “Gosh! You kok gag carefully key?!” arland with a panicked face. He immediately sucked the blood coming out of Kezia's index finger.

“Hu hu huuu..” suddenly Kezia sobbed, somehow he felt very sad. He could not resist the emotions that controlled him.

Arland immediately raised his head to look at Kezia and sure enough kezia was crying. The longer the crying gets louder. Arland was confused himself, he did not expect Kezia would cry like that.

“Darling what hurts so much?” asked Arland with a face that was getting panicked.

Instead of answering, Kezia's cry grew louder. The crying that had been in his custody just broke. Not because of the pain in his hand but more pain in his heart that is really not ready if you have to stay away from Arland.

“Gosh key, let's sit down first, I'll take medicine to make gag get sick.” Said Arland who was getting increasingly foggy. Arland placed Kezia in the dining table chair. “I take medicine for a minute.” Further.

He immediately ran to his room and picked up the P3K box. Kezia was still crying in his place. Arland soon returned. Cleans the wound of kezia with cold water, gives him medicine and wraps it with plaster.

Arland looked at Kezia with worry. “What still hurts?” Arland clasped Kezia's hand tightly.

Kezia hugged Arland and cried on his shoulder. Arland was completely confused. Kezia who usually looks strong and independent, suddenly very weak with tears that never stop. Arland hugged her tightly. Gently rubbed Kezia's back so that she would feel calm.

Kezia is starting to take control of her. Her crying slowly began to stop and left a small sob.

“Key, want to see a doctor?” Arland cupped Kezia's face with both hands.

Kezia shook his head then rubbed his tears violently. Their views meet each other. The pair of puffy eyes were now staring at Arland wistfully.

Arland drew his face closer to Kezia, slowly tilting his head, but suddenly Kezia turned his face away, trying to dodge the possibility that would happen next.

“Ehm! Okay, let's have breakfast.” Arland tried to wake himself up.

Kezia nodded, then moved from his seat. He took the dishes that were still on the frying pan and arranged them on a plate that he had ornamented. Arland only watched her while occasionally smiling.

Before long he brought his cooking to the front of Arland and scooped up rice for Arland.

“Eat first Land...” said Kezia while smiling.

“Still key..”

Arland happily ate his meal. “Eemmm tasty bangeett.” exclaim Arland with round eyes.

“Thank God you like.” Timpal Kezia's.

“My girlfriend is a good wife. I'm beautiful, pinter cook again.” Praise Arland with a mouthful of food.

“Lebay!” cetus Kezia while wiping the leftovers in the corner of the lips Arland.

“I'm serious dear... Cobain deh, aaa...” Arland fed a spoonful of food to Kezia's mouth, with Kezia's pleasure to welcome him. True said Arland, the cuisine today is very good. “Other times, may I ask you to masakin again?” ask Arland.

Kezia just fell silent. He wasn't sure he could fulfill it if he promised at this time. His little heart whispered, so that he wouldn't promise when he was happy because maybe one day, he couldn't keep it. Kezia just smiled and hoped that one day he could meet the small demand of Arland who now began to feel heavy.
