Remember You
The Disappointed

"Uncle, I want to go to the supermarket, want to buy a snack," I said as I pointed to the supermarket I meant.

"You want Uncle to accompany you?"

I immediately shook my head steadily. "No need. Uncle just wait here."

"Yes, but not for long. Uncle wants to call someone first, too" he said.

After getting permission, I immediately ran to the supermarket. I actually wanted to escape from Uncle Melvin's existence for a while. I want to breathe free air. Because from then on I was made to hold my breath because of his random behavior, very sudden and always surprising.

📥 Uncle go for a while to see old friend 15 minutes. Alena just wait at the place before and afraid to go straight to the car just understand?

📤 Yes.

After seeing the message, I decided to sit on a bench facing directly towards the sunset. At half-six, the sky had started to turn orange. I took a can of soda from the grocery bag, opened it and ended up sipping it while enjoying the sensation of small explosions in the mouth.

For two minutes there was nothing else I did, except to enjoy a soda while observing how the sun slowly immersed itself at the end of the earth. However, not long after, my body was made aghast in shock when suddenly something cold stuck on the surface of my cheek.

I immediately turned my head, then found a man in a black hoodie deliberately sticking a bottle of mineral water that was still condensing on my cheek while grinning a horse, as if satisfied to see his target surprised and put up an annoyed mimic.

"Well, why is he here alone?" tanyanya while landing her butt cheek next to me. Then switch to open the drinking bottle and immediately swallow it until the toilet. Looks so thirsty like a desert lizard who just found a waterhole in the desert. I had the wrong focus on his junks rising and falling while sipping water. It looked so sexy combined with the sweat on her neck that flowed down. Like the advertisements on tv. But I admit it's sexier.

Alena sober! Your mind is really slovenly.

"Calm the mind. How's yours?" I asked back.

"I'm just cycling" he replied pointing to where his bike was parked, then wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hoodie arm.

Sensa, I then reached into my skirt pocket to take a handkerchief that he lent me while still at school this afternoon. I haven't been able to return it. "You should bring a small towel, don't sweat it with a hoodie like this. It's your handkerchief" I said as I gave a handkerchief.

He laughed a little before finally making the handkerchief as a sweat swab. "You still keep it?"

"I intend to throw it away. But I forgot, so it's still in my pocket" I replied with a ruckus at the end of the sentence.

"By the way you're still in your school uniform, aren't you coming home?" Jery's man's facial features implied a sense of curiosity. Next to his eyebrows raised high.

"I was immediately invited here by my uncle after school, did not have time to go home let alone change clothes. Well that's not a big deal. Tomorrow is a holiday anyway" I explained as I took another sip of soda. Then turn to focus on the orange twilight sky. It's exquisite. Especially when a bunch of seagulls fly in unison to map the landscape of the sky is so wide. It calms the mind.

"Pretty."

Hearing that sentence on the air, I spontaneously turned to look at Jeryco who had been looking at me for some time with a sparkling obsidian and a knotty smile visible at the corner of his lips.

"Y-yes?" I was suddenly nervous. The conscious Jery hurriedly shook his head quickly. Turning his face in the opposite direction while clearing his throat was unclear.

"The baby is beautiful, not you. Don't geer," he seems. A little flutter. Evidently when he tried to dismiss it by pretending to be busy drinking water, even though the bottle was empty did not contain at all since then. Even faintly under the dimness of the twilight, I could see the part of her cheek turning a reddish pink-pink. Isn't Jery wrong?

"But you're looking at me, not at the bird, my god laughing mockingly. He's really upset. His expression turned cynical. "Geer."

"Yes, everybody says I'm pretty." I'm still laughing.

"Satisfied gih mocking me, at least you can laugh again, I'm happy," chirps that even succeeded in making me instantly silent without twitching.

"Huh?"

"No, that's. You're so slow." The man shook my head slowly.

"It's okay slow, the important thing is that you've praised me pretty, weee," my god purposely stuck his tongue out at her.

"Who said I praised you? Obviously I was praising the bird, so stop being so geeer," the Jery dodged again while raising a little lip on it.

I did it with a nod of confidence. Poor, he might feel cornered if he continues to be teased. It seems he is not a typical man who is good at evading. The reason is too clearly made up. I don't know why, I smiled to myself. I can't lie about my feelings, I'm so happy. But I tried to cover it up by being mediocre.

A split second after, the sound of the phone ringing broke the temporary silence between the two of us. It wasn't my phone ringing, it was from Jery's phone. Quickly he picked up his phone that was originally stored in his hoodie pocket.

"Who?" I'm curious. Jery also showed the screen of his phone that was displaying a call request and a name

'Bee 🐝🌹💓' there.

The bee? 🐝🌹💓 What a bee is calling Jery?

"Bee?" my monologue.

"My girlfriend," Jery insisted as if breaking my curiosity. Then he got off the bench, walked away from me a few steps, and he finally raised the call.

"Yes, hello Bee?"

"okay! I'll be home soon. See you's. Don't miss it."

The call ended, and Jery walked up to me again. "Rahel is in my house. He's been waiting. So I go home first, huh?" Her pampit while smiling revealed a pair of adorable rabbit teeth. I nodded, only after that did Jery start walking towards where he parked his bike. Then pedal his bike vigorously, because he will soon meet his lover who is waiting at home. I stared at his back which moved further away until finally his thesis was no longer caught by my obsidian.

In line with that, Uncle Melvin who was saying goodbye to meet his friend was finally back. Exactly fifteen minutes after he sent me his message.

"Uncle, I want to go home" I said as he stood in front of me.

"directly? Don't want to stop by where?" tanya Uncle made an offer. But I refused it with a faint head.

"OK, if that's what you want."

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

"Uncle, if you're not busy please send us a selfie of the two of us earlier, yes?" Haha, I remembered that and wanted to ask for it. I think I should keep it for me too.

"You want Uncle to send it now?" the question I answered with a nod of the head.

When Uncle Melvin activated his phone, I accidentally glanced at his successful lockscreen wallpaper making me feel anxious.

"Jeez Uncle... Why should I use lockscreen wallpaper anyway?" Yes, the lockscreen wallpaper used is a selfie photo this afternoon on the Han River. Exactly the photo with the pose of Uncle Melvin kissing my cheek.

"Why really? Uncle likes. Funny," he said, as he began sending images through the share it app.

"Fear there will be women who do not take Uncle's pocket because they think Uncle already has children, I joke.

"Sugar Daddy and Baby Sugar, huh?"

I shuddered, "Big no!"

"Thanks Uncle for today" I said with a smile on my cheek. "Be careful when you go home. No need to speed. Ok?"

Uncle Melvin looks nodding. Only then did I intend to open the car door, but Uncle held it in while saying, "Don't ignore your father. May be disappointed and angry, but don't overdo it, okay?"

"Yes," I replied briefly and concisely. Then immediately got out and stood a few meters away from the car, intending to wait for Uncle Melvin to leave while waving his hand. When the car was really far away, I then began to enter the house with a half-slip step.

"Daddy's daughter's home?"

Just as I opened the door, Dad had already greeted me with a smile as if nothing had happened between the two of us. But his eyes could not lie. It still looks a little red and red. He got up from the sofa he was sitting on. It seemed like he was deliberately sitting there waiting for me to come home. Dad approached me. "Uncle Melvin's taking Alena where you've been tonight?" His intonation sounded intentionally softened.

"Calm the mind" I replied without looking back at him.

"You want to have dinner with Dad? I bought your favorite martabak while I was coming home from work, "he asked.

However, I shook my head steadily. "Not hungry."

"But I'm waiting for you to eat together. At least accompany me to dinner."

My steps to climb the ladder stopped. I looked back, right where Dad was looking at me hoping. "Dad eat alone."

Then I resumed my steps up the stairs without any care at all with his expression that instantly turned lethargic and sad. I locked the door. Want to shower and change clothes, then want to sleep comfortably. However, it was delayed when the sound of knocking on the door greeted my room.

"Did Alena really not want to eat with Dad? Is Alena still mad at you?" ask her back there. Sounded like a little sad.

"Alena's not in the mood" I said.

"Father will not eat if not accompanied by Alena. Dad's on hunger strike."

Did you just threaten?

I let out a huffed breath. To be honest I can't bear it, but my prestige is much greater. I don't want to just melt with threats in his name.

"That's it, Daddy just eat. No need to bring all Alena. I have an ulcer, don't want to go on hunger strike."

"But Dad wanted to"

Brak!

I closed the bathroom door very hard. I wish Dad who was outside my room could hear it so he stopped talking. I should have understood. It would be very free to persuade me who was in a feeling of disappointment. Don't eat together, just talk I'm still very awkward. I really can't make peace with the situation.

Ten minutes later, I was done with the shower. My body is fresh. I want to get ready to go to bed early. Because I plan to dedicate tomorrow as a solid day to study before the exam. Yes, the day after tomorrow is the first day the exam takes place. Like I said, I don't want to be at the bottom. It would be so embarrassing. So I had to learn that the nightmare didn't come true.

I have not had time to lay my body on the mattress, the sound of spam notification has already attracted my attention completely. Quickly I grabbed the phone and found the name 'Jeryco' which was none other than the sender of the message.

📥

😭😭😭

ALENA!!!

I'm so sad.

WHAT THE FUUVKKK

ALENA, I WANNA SUICIDE
