Pain(Tings)
Chapter 24: Revenge

Due to bad weather in both countries, resulting in flights that should have taken Sita, experiencing delays. He turned to Hideki who was still busy contacting the university about the obstacles.

“Where? They'll be mad if we're late, will they?” ask Sita after Hideki saves her phone.

The gel from Hideki makes Sita finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. “Quiet, they're mafhum. Anyway, starting college is also quite long,” he added.

“Hm, we go there now just in case there are obstacles like this if later the time for college has started to be conducive,” said Sita approved by Hideki.

Due to the cancellation of their departure, Sita and Hideki agree to return to their respective homes. But because their worms are rebellious, so they stopped by one of the fast food restaurants and located not far from the airport.

“What do you want pesen?” ask Hideki.

Sita weighed for a while, then shook her head slowly. “Don't know, confused.” Hideki frowned. Especially seeing Sita who even put her head on the table. Looks like an uninspired person.

“Why you? Pain?”

Sita muttered softly. Without raising her head, Sita closed her eyes. Hope if the pain due to the moon soon subsides. It hurts more than anything, please! Sita groans in pain. That made Hideki anxious.

Hideki went to stand next to Sita and saw Sita's pale face. He also looked at Sita who continued to hold her stomach while moaning. Hideki shook Sita's shoulder very slowly. Afraid of hurting the woman.

“You're home now?”

Because, Sita looked okay. Indeed, at first Sita looks more quiet, but does not show alarming signs like this. If Hideki had known, he wouldn't have invited Sita to eat first.

Sita opened her eyes slowly. He did not know that Hideki was already half crouching in front of him. He flinched in shock. “You ... really, can?” Sita sat straight up. But because it moved suddenly, his head became dizzy.

Hideki helps to massage his temples. Sita was so embarrassed. He was afraid if people thought that was a no-no. For that, he stopped Hideki who was still massaging his temple.

“Udah mendingan?” ask Hideki.

Sita simply nodded in response. Even though the feeling still hit his head.

“You're going home now? You look like you are not healthy anymore,” bargain Hideki. He was afraid, Sita would get a serious illness, if forced to stay here.

“No need. You sit down first. For the order, please match the order, yes.”

Hideki still feels anxious with Sita. After ordering the order, he again asked, “You're really okay? I'm worried you're why.”

Sita laughed softly until her eyes narrowed. “I'm fine. Just pain comes from the moon. This is common," explained Sita.

Hideki's ears instantly turned red. The one who saw him laughed at him. “Gosh! Why are you ashamed? I should have, lah!” Sita shook her head when she saw Hideki trying to dodge her question.

“Not shy, it's not that women rarely talk about this to their male friends, right?”

Checkmate.

Now it is Sita who is made into her own cake. But luckily they are a lunch order coming up soon and breaking the awward moment.

•••

Sita felt lucky again. Because Hideki is not the typical person who will discuss the embarrassing incident over and over again. If only they raised the topic in this talk, Sita made sure that she would fast to talk to Hideki. The shame is that!

“Kalem, this is my responsibility as a man.” So Hideki said when he asked about his disapproval for Hideki to drive him.

For Hideki's attitude on this one, his papa is not wrong in judging a man. Hideki is indeed the person in charge, but do not blame him too, because suddenly the memory of Sita will curiosity towards Hideki's parents who have never been mentioned, sticking out in the question this time.

“Hideki, may I ask?”

Hideki, who was focusing on driving, nodded his head. Feeling that he had obtained permission, Sita finally called out his curiosity.

“Hm... During this time, you have always hidden the identity of your parents. Sorry in advance, but ... why, yes?”

From the side, Sita could see that Hideki was stunned for a moment, then relaxed in the future. He glanced at Sita at a glance. “Ah, time anyway? Did I ever tell you that?”

“Even so, just yes, the story is always not finished,” lamented.

Hideki chuckles slowly. “The name is also male, Ta. They are not used to the story.”

Sita puffed her cheeks. He pretended to understand. In his heart, he kept grumbling.

The fate of curious people.

Because Sita forgot to tell him about his failed departure, automatically his parents were unlikely to welcome him on the front porch. Especially in this weekend, it could be that Pratista and Bima are not at home because they are busy with their work.

Sita intends to leave as soon as she gets off Hideki's car. But apparently the man had a sharp style that eventually made him melt.

“No manners, Ta, if I go straight back. After all, itung-itung silahturahmi.” That's a handful of Hideki's words that finally make the man can follow him into the house.

Bizarrely.

Sita felt the state of her house was very foreign. Too quiet, but gripping. He was startled by the sound of objects breaking from the direction of his parents' room. For a moment, he glanced at Hideki who was equally surprised.

“Don't tell me that it's from room direction!”

Unfortunately Hideki's guess was almost right. For some reason, Sita was terrified. Considering that Pratista helped her secretly take painting classes, she was really afraid that her mother was experiencing scary things because of her. Sita ran small towards the door of her parents' second room. He also endured the roar of grief that slipped in his heart.

Hideki also followed him from behind. Sayup-sayup began to sound screams and snapping. Sita recognized the voice. Milky. Her dad.

When Sita's hand stretched out to open the door handle, the sound of a slap made her petrified. While holding back her sobs, Sita was again surprised by the words of her father.

“Never dispute me, Tista! The match between Trella and Widan we have agreed before!!” bima resolute.

Despite the radiant taste running down her cheek nerves, Pratista looked at her husband wistfully. “Sita must be disappointed Mas if you know that, Mas. Moreover, the matter of Trella and Widan is betrothed to our proposal.”

“He won't know, Tista! He will just keep busy to dream and obey his parents!!!”

Sita's heart was crushed. His hands are weak. His body slid to the floor. He could not even hold back his cries anymore. He let it all out through the tears that flooded his cheeks. Hideki who was originally sculpted, immediately grabbed Sita without hesitation. Sita's sobbing that made her almost crazy. Hideki keeps trying to calm Sita down.

“You are strong, Sita. I believe it.”

But I'm not as strong as you think, Hideki.
