Good Boy

You should know what it's like to be Iya now. Even though Abi might have done it just to protect his pride, she was still proud.

    Iyya doesn't know clearly who the woman who pretends to know everything about Abi is. What was their relationship before and how did they weave a story? But, what Iyya knew for sure was that now he was the one who won, defended by Abidzar.

     "Why are you smiling to yourself?" Janeva asked when she saw her best friend acting awkwardly for no reason.

    They are now at Abiyya's house. To do the task, Iya insisted. And when he got to the room and Iyya finished taking a shower, the woman suddenly smiled to herself, making Jane and Alula feel goosebumps.

    Alula, who was playing with her cell phone for some reason, turned to the person Jane asked earlier.

    "Did you ever think that what happened earlier was going to happen? Abi must have started to like me," he said with a happy smile, exuding incomparable and incomparable happiness.

    Jane took a sip of her watermelon juice before answering what Iyya had said.

     "I heard a little about Abi's past, he seems to just want to repay what the girl did to him first. Someone offered to offer, so he'll brush it off."

     What Jane just said did not make Iyya waver in the slightest to diminish her happiness.

    "What Jane said makes sense. From the start you knew her, you already introduced yourself as Abi's girlfriend, so I think Abi is just going with the flow."

    "It's okay. It doesn't matter. Whatever Abi's intentions, the important thing is that I'm satisfied because I was able to make the girl ashamed. After all, who told me to be so pretentious? It's just that my ex is proud," Iyya squeaked again, annoyed remembering how the woman was boasting because been in Abi's past.

     Alula got up from her seat and pulled Iyya to join Jane sitting on the fur rug.

     "We'd better start working on the task so that it can be finished quickly and you can freely follow the guy of your dreams," said Alula. It's also uncomfortable to hear that Iyya continues to chatter about other people.

    "Yes, that's right. Let's finish it quickly, okay? I'll take the laptop first," Iyya answered then excitedly took his laptop which was on top of the chest of drawers.

     ***

    "You said you wanted to go to Palembang. Why not?" Iris asked in a disapproving tone as if shooing away.

    Abi, who was devouring his dinner, was silent when he heard his mother wanted him to leave.

    "It doesn't happen, Mom. I have been represented by my assistant. Because I still have work on campus," said Abi honestly, it's true, there are so many assignments on campus. Not to mention the revision of the manuscript that must be completed in the not-too-distant future.

      "Ouh, did you just excuse yourself yesterday so you didn't have dinner? Did you do it on purpose?"

     Abi finished the food that was in his mouth before he answered again what Iris said.

    "It's not like that at all, Mother. I did have a schedule for Palembang, but for one reason or another, I just sent my assistant to go. It wasn't just an excuse to fail that dinner."

    Well, the dinner that Ghina and Stefani had planned had to fail because Abidzar couldn't. The reason yesterday was that he had to go to Palembang, but he didn't do it because of a college assignment.

    "You're not enough, what makes me so embarrassed? Your failed engagement is what I'm ashamed of. You failed to become a TNI and I'm ashamed too. What's more, you're just studying literature, where else do you want to put my face? mess up."

     The twenty-year-old man could only swallow what his beloved woman had just said. Unable to fight back, won't and won't. Their dinner had to be ruined just because a chatter provoked Iris' anger.

    "The failed engagement wasn't Abi's fault, Bun. It was Stefani's fault who chose another man. Their family should be ashamed. Why should Mother be ashamed? And if Mother doesn't like them, why should Mother agree to the engagement plan again? ?"

    Iris slammed down the glass she was holding. The water and the shards of glass merged into one. Abi, who was surprised, didn't change his expressionless face.

    "Denying me you? How dare. What do you think of me all this time huh?"

    Trust me, Abi just replied in a low voice and was full of manners. But, suddenly Iris slammed the glass and scolded and yelled at Abi again. What's wrong with him?

    "Abi doesn't deny it, Mom. Abi just asks, why do you have to be this angry? What Abi asked is true, right? No one should offend Mother. I'm your child, right?"

    Abi's gaze already showed how tired his life was. He couldn't fight his mother. Especially after Mahesa also entrusted Iris to little Abi at that time.

    With all his might he held back the tears from falling. Later Iris got angry again because she was a crybaby. Not.

    "I wish that you weren't my child. But, unfortunately, fate was so cruel to me, leaving an ignorant child like you!"

    After saying that out loud and the hand that was pushing Abi's downcast head, Iris went to her room and left Abidzar alone at the dining table.

    Abi saw Iris' plate which was still intact and untouched. Iris hasn't had dinner yet, she must be really hungry.

    Seeing the departure of the old lady, Mbok Suti came in a hurry to help her young master clean up the broken glass.

    "Be careful, Mom!"

    Just being given a warning like that by her employer, has made Suti the servant so honorable. Since childhood he has taken care of Abidzar until now, the child is always polite and respects elders. Suti already considers Abi like her child, because her son is far away from the village.

    "Aden yourself okay?" he asked because he had seen the anger of his great mistress firsthand.

     "I'm okay, Ma'am. Oh well, Ma'am, later, please bring my mother to dinner, okay? Too bad I haven't eaten yet."

    "Let me just do it, Sir," said another waiter who was helping Mbok Suti clean up the broken pieces. It is Ms. Suti's younger sister, who has also worked in this house for a long time, although not for Ms. Suti's time.

    Abi nodded his head and let the waiter deliver the food to the big lady.

    "Ma'am, later please make me coffee, okay? Just take it to the study," said Abi then he got up and walked to his study. Discontinued the dinner program because he had lost his appetite.
