C12 Scene 11

Cheryl puffed her cheeks in annoyance. She looked at Sandra with hostility. Cheryl didn't like it when Sandra seemed to be trying to get Juna's attention. But that guy was not affected at all.

"The trade war is worrying. I'm afraid that it could lead to a political war and a real war. Huuu ... it's scary if all countries have moved. Imagine Russia siding with China. America is working with North Korea." Cheryl repeatedly flared her nose, embarrassed. She didn't like seeing Sandra's way of trying to make Juna amazed at her intelligence.

Everyone is just silent. Sandra led the conversation. She must have got the wrong address. The guys here are all engineering majors. Who is an engineering boy who wants to take care of politics? Cheryl knows, Sandra tries to make her look smart and insightful in the eyes of all men.

Rose played on her cellphone, smiling like crazy while sipping her drink. As for Juna, the guy is playing on his cellphone too. Only Aldo and Galvin are serious. Galvin was busy with his thoughts because the guy was smoking a cigarette.

"Talking about North Korea. I don't know why to imagine, and I could die if I lived there. Imagine, watching TV is regulated by the government, with limited internet access and low work. I build places or attract tourists by developing tourism. In North Korea, only tourist places have statues of their leaders."

"Is Indonesia not poor?" Finally, Cheryl asked, embarrassed. She wanted to take Sandra down.

"Indonesia is a developing country. Even though there are many poor people, many can sleep soundly and can eat. It is different from diseases in Africa. Imagine, being so poor they sell caterpillars. They could sell coal." Cheryl rolled her eyes lazily. Unfortunately, she did not have a strong argument to refute the knowledgeable Sandra.

"Well, the case is Timor Leste too. They are still working on food troops from Indonesia. For some reason, I feel that the Timor Leste people are secretly sorry they are separated from Indonesia. Even though they are different from the former colony, what's wrong with joining. Even though our country has a lot of debt, but our development. ahead of them."

"Of course, they have just become a country. If it's been decades, they will progress." Cheryl glared. She doesn't want to be seen as obedient to all of Sandra's boasting with her knowledge.

Sandra shook her head. "It's hard, I think. Their natural resources are limited. The people there, most of them are farming. Indeed, China has invested, by lending money, but yes, the capitalists know the end." Sandra shrugged her shoulders. Feeling satisfied can make the boys here amazed at her intelligence. Sandra loves to read, and the girl is critical. Rose is the same. But, she is lazy to discuss heavy things like this when she wants to have fun.

The six young men sat on the beach, providing seats by ordering food and drinks and made circular benches.

"But here. Singapore is—"

"Ih crap!, I'm out of the drink. Can you order any more?" Cheryl interrupted Sandra. Enough already! If allowed, this girl will get the upper hand.

"Hello." Sandra also called. Cheryl bit her finger in fury. It felt like she wanted to pull Sandra's long hair, like hers too.

"What do you want, Cher?"

"Can I want to eat people?" Asked Cheryl's origin. Everyone silent turned to look at Cheryl. The girl was ignorant and looked at Sandra furiously.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Rose realized that her friend is in a moody right now. Rose knew that Cheryl was uncomfortable with Sandra around. But she felt terrible refusing because Sandra already knew their plan, and the girl volunteered. Finally, they brought Sandra, and they never thought that the girl would lead their discussion this afternoon.

"I ordered cold drink. My heart is hot again." Cheryl quipped right at Sandra. Sandra just put on an innocent face. Rose patted Cheryl's back.

Juna looked at Cheryl. The girl looked at her crush, Cheryl would not give up, even though Juna never gave her the slightest signal. It seemed like they were friends now. Every time they come home from college, they will gather like this. Usually, there's Galvin, and sometimes the guy isn't around. There are often Juna and Aldo. Cheryl is undoubtedly happy, seeing Juna all the time. Usually, they make arrangements everywhere, and Rose will determine the right spot. But today, Cheryl feels unlucky.

"Tomorrow, don't bring the female fox here," Cheryl whispered to Rose.

"Vixen?"

"Sandra is an idiot," Cheryl whispered again. The two unruly friends laughed together, regardless of other people's feelings. Indeed a true friend.

"You're an idiot too." Whispered Rose and laughed out loud. Cheryl pinched Rose's arm.

"Why the heck?" Asked Aldo. If he have gathered with women, he is sure that the men are better off correcting the constitution because there will be no final word on the conversation.

"You are single." Cheryl's comments. They often argue together? Even though the objects are not necessary, it ends with Rose and Juna as spectators.

"Indeed single. Why? Want to marry me? Sorry, I like calm girls."

"Hey, don't want to do that. I'm pretty. I have to be on the same level as hot—" Cheryl couldn't continue her words and glanced at Juna, who only smiled slightly.

"Prince on horseback. Haahahaha." It was Rose's turn to laugh.

"Huh!" Cheryl made a sullen face.

"What did you do to my girl?" Galvin asked. Cheryl smiled again, feeling triumphant because no one was there to serve Sandra anymore.

"You know, Moodyan girl." Said Rose. Cheryl kicks Rose's leg below. Unfortunately, she kicked Juna wrongly. Because of her sitting position, Rose sat opposite Juna.

"Shit! Wrong again. I'm sorry." Cheryl's heart skipped a beat. He was afraid. Juna didn't like himself even more. Juna just stared at Cheryl silently. Cheryl looked at Juna. Although she often met, usually Juna was more silent because the content of their meeting was filled with ridicule from Aldo versus Cheryl. If you don't maintain an image in front of future candidates, Cheryl will kick Aldo's future because she is annoyed with that guy. Cheryl found Aldo annoying.

"Ouch Juna, domestic violence is that. Can report it to the National Commission on Human Rights." Aldo making up.

"Whose child are you? Bummer swearing! Just die!" Hissed Cheryl. And the others just laughed. Aldo—the reckless human laughed the loudest.

Just as Cheryl was about to deliver a death pinch, Aldo took Cheryl's hand. As if there was an electric vibration there. The girl was silent. Realizing the situation, Cheryl quickly withdrew her hand. Cheryl glanced at Juna, and the boy was watching her silently. Unfortunately, Cheryl couldn't read Juna's expression.

"Guys ... I'll go first. State duties await." Goodbye Galvin. The boy greeted one by one.

"Take care of yourself, my girl." Galvin tease. Cheryl innocently looked at Galvin.

"Uh, Galvin, just come along. I also have a lot of work for tonight. First, my friends, come together sometimes." Sandra stood up. Cheryl is breathing. Finally, the germs left.

"Hush .. go away." Get rid of Cheryl when Sandra was far away.

"I don't think I can go home, Cher. Jasmine, order me to fetch her." Rose grinned. He coded Cheryl to approach. "You have a chance. Just walk first, who knows, stop by tomorrow." Cheryl swallowed hard. She can die of style if she is both with Juna. Cheryl shook her head and looked at Rose. And Rose only replied with a wink.

"Bye-bye .. my child is crying about breastfeeding." Rose leaves. Cheryl got goosebumps, alone with two boys. One annoying, like Pharaoh's staff, and one mysterious, like the kingdom of Prophet Solomon.

Cheryl cuddled, rather than dying of style, it's better, she prepared her strength to face the nagging Aldo.

"I'm just with you." Cheryl pointed at Aldo.

"I'm not a motorcycle taxi driver." Reject Aldo.

"You should be grateful, and I'm beautiful. Where a beautiful person wants to go home with the gardener."

"Already hitched a ride, mocked again," Aldo replied, not receiving it.

"Yeah, sorry." Cheryl pulled the parachute jacket Aldo was wearing. The air was so cold now.

"Fine. Go home first, bro." Aldo greeted Juna. The two friends shook hands. Cheryl grew awkward.

"Go home first." Cheryl said sheepishly. And Juna just nodded.

"Where's your bike?" Cheryl asked as they headed for the parking lot. Aldo turned and looked at Cheryl. This girl is troublesome, eleven-twelve with her sister. But, Aldo can accept if his brother makes him bother. Well, Cheryl?

"I use a rickshaw."

"Bachelors keep joking."

"Yeah. I'm not a widower yet."

"You rotten bachelor." Cheryl scoffed.

"You're Julia." Cheryl pouted. Both of them arrived at the parking lot. Cheryl saw that Aldo's motorbike was blue. The boy gave Cheryl a helmet, just by throwing it, not in a gentle way. Fortunately, Cheryl quickly caught the helmet. Otherwise, her beautiful nose can break.

"Romeo!" Cheryl shouted, tugging at Aldo's jacket. Since earlier, that guy was just silent. Their silence was filled only by the roar of the engine plus the wind.

"Huh?" Aldo shouted, no less loud.

"Hey ... talk."

"Huh, what?"

Tuk!

Cheryl hits Aldo. Because too annoyed.

"I got off in the middle of the road when my helmet broke." Cheryl just sucked in annoyance even though that guy couldn't see her expression right now.

"You didn't hear it before, now I speak very smoothly." Aldo was just silent and continued to accelerate his motorbike quite fast. Cheryl finally grabbed a pinch of Aldo's jacket to hold onto. Cheryl was sure, if warned, Aldo would become even more resentful!

"Uh, Romeo ... my house turned left, why go straight?" Shouted Cheryl. She looked around. This guy is—ugh...

"I want to be dumped where Romeo?" Cheryl shouted again.

"To Cement Island," Aldo replied. Semen Island is an island in the middle of the sea. The island will be visible at low tide, and the island will sink at high tide. Who wants to live on an island like that? This isn't Bikini Bottom.

"Wicked Romeo!" Cheryl tugged at Aldo's jacket.

"Shut up, Julia." Cheryl finally fell silent. And let Aldo take him where.

"I'm going to take a shower. I'll take you later." Cheryl took off her helmet while stomping her feet in annoyance. Aldo took him to the boy's house.

"Romeo! Do you have anyone in your house? You must have bad intentions with me. I want to be raped inside, right?" Accuse Cheryl. Aldo watched his noisy friend, who had only known for a few weeks.

"Who wants to run around the grinding board? There's nothing in it at all." hissed Aldo, and left. Exasperated, Cheryl threw down her shoes. Sure enough, the shoe landed smoothly behind Aldo until it was clear that the shoes' dusty soles were printed.

"You ugly!" Shouted Cheryl. Aldo ignored the girl and went inside.

Cheryl's still crap. She was grateful that the Prince on horseback with a.k.a Juna, was not as annoying as Aldo. Cheryl believes that Aldo's girlfriend will have high blood pressure all the time if she finds him annoying all the time.

Cheryl finally went inside. She was lazy, rather than looking strange by the surroundings, and Aldo did not take him home. The girl had better come inside.

Aldo's house looks lonely. Eleven Aldo's home furniture is the same as her house. This can be called home sweet home, not the house that deserves the nickname my house hell.

Cheryl finally sat down on the green sofa.

"There are guests? Who're friends, sweety?" Cheryl smiled at the master of the house.

"Hello, auntie. I'm Cheryl, Aldo's friend. Aldo was riding, just stopped by here for a moment."

"Okay, first sit here. He didn't take a shower for long." Cheryl smiled. Aldo's mother still looks young, but her body looks a little chubby, just like other mothers.

"Okay."

"I don't want to! Until whenever I won't!" Cheryl heard people screaming from inside the house. Apparently not, Mrs. Aldo's voice. This time his voice was so shrill. The girl went awry and felt uncomfortable.

"Listen to me, honey. All for our future." Cheryl swallowed nervously. What's the future? What's Aldo's girlfriend? But it wasn't that guy's voice.

"To hell with the future! Better you go home, I'm sick to see your face!" Cheryl was getting more and more uncomfortable. The voice drew closer to the living room.

"Honey. Don't be like this ..." begged the guy.

"Go, please."

The two of them had arrived at the living room. Cheryl immediately stood up.

"Heyyou! Uh, why are you meeting here? Geez, I have to call Rose. It looks like we can become friends if we meet every day." The two people were shocked. Unexpectedly, there are guests, and they are fighting now. Realizing, the two of them laughed together. It was Cheryl who was clumsy and wanted to bury herself because of her ignorance.

"Uh, sorry, I think you guys are fighting." The two of them laughed again. Cheryl was shaking her head, not expecting two couples to be this strange.

"Are you Aldo's friend?"

"Uh, yes ... yes, sis." Cheryl immediately recognized that it was Brother Aldo. The person is young, beautiful, and—er ... short and small. Cheryl doesn't know if Aldo has such a little sister.

"Sis, I want to meet your boyfriend. I met you yesterday, just right with Aldo. I want to ask for a photo, and I want to take care of my friends." Cheryl grinned innocently.

"Do you want a photo with her or not?" Sister Aldo asked her boyfriend.

"Whose your name?"

"Rara," Cheryl muttered.

"So, this boy is your boyfriend?" Cheryl asked in awe. For what purpose, Aldo's sister is dating a high school student? But that's their business.

"Yes."

"Uh, really? Congratulations, sis. I just chased, never ignored. It's sad, but now it's like a normal friend. Sob, crap." Confide in Cheryl. Rara watched her interlocutor, seen a very cheerful girl, without the burden of life. As for herself, she had to do some drama all the time.

"Oh, just with Aldo."

"Aldo so annoying!" hissed Cheryl is honest. Rara laughed. Her younger brother won the most restless human, plus his lover, and the headache became double.

"Sis, persuade me. Want a photo. Want to play with friends, so tomorrow I can get another free." Cheryl shamelessly handed her cell phone. Cheryl's evil brain is at work, and she wants to drain Mawar. Mawar had to treat him for a week, and he would edit photos of Rose and the handsome one.

"Here's a photo." Rara handed Cheryl's cellphone to her lover. The handsome boy, put on a lazy look. Cheryl looked at him imploringly.

Gerald took the cellphone, pulled his girlfriend, and kissed Rara on the cheek while taking pictures. The scene made Cheryl absurdly embarrassed. She did not know, if this boy like to be reckless.

Cheryl stared furiously at the boy who stared at Cheryl flatly. She swore she would repay this boy, no matter what.
