20 .Meeting between mother and my future boyfriend

Toturial shopping with Mama. First, grab the trolley. Watch the road, don't get too far behind.

Second, it is forbidden to protest. Silence is better than free lectures.

Lastly, never say you're tired, or your pocket money will be cut.

Suffering from a new dormitory child on a weekend vacation.

--------------------------------------------------

Maura had taken several deep breaths while grumbling in her heart, while her mother was busy sorting out their monthly groceries.

After the departure of Gio. Her mother took her to a mini market near the intersection. In fact, he already has an agenda of watching anime in her room, and with a heavy heart she has to cancel it.

Maura doesn't want her mother to get lost on the road or even pick up another cat later, please.. her house is no longer in the form of a house now.

"Not yet, Mom?" Maura asked.

The girl was getting bored. She tapped the toe of her shoe against the tile.

"Wait a minute. Try to take a few packets of instant noodles beside you, Mama is afraid that our stock this month is not enough," said her mother.

Maura glanced at the instant noodle packages which were almost half a trolley. Instant cooking spices and other instant items.

Her brows furrowed in confusion. How much more do they want in stock? Does her mother want to spend a whole month eating instant noodles?

The truth is, it wasn't until she got married that she was called by the creator.

Maura tilted her head quickly, "Mom, this is too much for you. After all, who wants to eat it later."

"Who else, it's you. Mama doesn't want your child to be hungry and sick later. For Gio too, it's a pity he'll be hungry."

Her mother stepped back after putting some canned meat into the basket.

Maura blinked slowly, then sighed softly.

"Mom! Maura is a boarding school, not room tenant. How can anyone bring food from outside, besides that the school has guaranteed daily meals."

Maura restrained herself from yelling at the woman who had given birth to her. Of course her mother forgot that she was in boarding school.

Be patient.. your pocket money will be cut later..

"Ma.." Maura's words immediately hung in the air when she felt a change in the atmosphere that felt thick even though they were in the midst of the public.

Her mother was silent as her hand reached for a can of sardines. He closed his eyes and turned to look at Maura.

Maura smiled a little as her mother sighed softly.

"Mom, we'll return it. Most of this is for stock at home, after all, Maura just came back on the weekend, right." Muara's persuasion softened.

Her anger immediately disappeared when she saw the look on her mother. She knows the sadness when she remembers that her only daughter will return to her dormitory.

"That's it. Mama forgot that there was only your papa and mama at home."

"Mama, don't be sad, Maura is also sad."

Her mother smiled, patted Maura's shoulder lightly then pinched her gently, "Don't just be sad, study properly. Don't let your grades drop again this semester." she said.

Oops.. wrong word.. she should have just kept quiet..

Maura smiled softly as she put the instant noodle package back in its place. Avoiding his mother's dark irises.

"Maura, can you hear Mama? Look at your cousin, Gio even got into the top ten in his class. You, don't just remedial one, it's already lucky." Her mother started lecturing along the railroad tracks again.

"Ma, Maura is also your champion, third place in fact."

Her mother narrowed her eyes suspiciously.

"Third place from bottom you mean?"

"Hehehe, that includes champions too, Ma." argue Maura doesn't want to lose.

After all, it's not wrong if her brain is only limited to megabytes.

"Yes, study Maura, sometimes you have enthusiasm and ambition, you are the only child of mama and papa. Don't want to stay behind until you graduate."

Maura pursed her lips, every time she returned home. The hardest ordeal was when her parents discussed values.. grades.. and grades..

"It's not Muara's fault being in the back rangked. They just happened to be in front of Maura, that's why Maura was shifted backwards," Maura said casually.

Her mother snorted harshly while glaring at her only daughter. "Then why don't you just push the person in front of you so that your rank rises to the top five."

"Mom, that's called violation and violence."

"Don't talk too much, Maura, just study the truth, gosh.. why do you have a girl like this.."

Maura smiled as she scratched the back of the nape that didn't itch.

'You see, Mama's child too, right?'

----------The Best Valentine------------

Maura stepped away from her mother with the excuse of wanting to find a drink. Although it's not really her throat that's thirsty but her ears are hot.

Her body immediately stiffened when her dark irises caught someone she recognized squatting in front of a refrigerator filled with various kinds of drinks.

Maura narrowed her eyes as she stepped closer.

"Erlang.." she said half sure.

The man in front of her immediately looked up, staring at Maura. His eyebrows were raised high, then he smiled a little.

"Maura… what are you doing here?" he asked.

Maura was silent for a moment, her heart beating very fast when Erlang stepped towards her.

His appearance was more wow than when he wore a black uniform and hoodie that night.

The man was more than just handsome, as if the word handsome was not enough to describe his existence.

"Hi.. Er.. I.. with mama, ah.. I mean I accompany mama shopping," she stammered.

Damn it!!

Maura swallowed hard as she squeezed her hand into the hem of her shirt to channel her nervousness.

"Shopping?"

"Hmm.. for the monthly stock." Maura didn't know why she had to explain this too.

Luckily Erlang didn't ask any other weird things. The man nodded in understanding.

"What are you doing yourself?" Maura asked.

Erlang lifted a can of cold coffee from his hand, "Buy this."

"Early in the morning? I thought you didn't like coffee." Maura remembered hearing Luna say that, out of nowhere her best friend knew.

Erlang glanced around quietly, chuckling to himself, "Well, sometimes. Hard times.. I'm used to breaking my own habits."

Erlang stared at the shelf in front of him blankly.

The atmosphere immediately turned uncomfortable. Maura felt awkward, neither she nor Erlang spoke again.

The man was now beside her a few steps away. Occasionally sipping canned coffee.

Maura sighed softly, she suddenly remembered some things. "Erm, Erlang. Can I ask you something?"

"About what?"

"Gilang said you were punished a while ago? Is it because of me?"

"Absolutely not. It's only because of the curfew at my dorm, don't worry. It's normal."

Maura furrowed her brows, there was no curfew in her dorm. In addition, if there is, he can break in with the help of his friends.

"Why?" Maura asked.

"Regulation of the head of the dormitory, it is forbidden to be questioned, let alone to be contested."

Shucks!!

As deep as the Indian Ocean and as high as a mountain of praise. No matter how much Maura thought about it, she never came to a conclusion. In other words the contents of the phoenix dormitory's children's brains were like an endless maze.

Complicated!

Troublesome!

No wonder people also follow the absurd and unclear. Including this handsome man beside her.

Maura smiled when she realized she had just cursed Erlang, the phoenix prince and also the children from the other phoenix dormitories.

"Maura.." A soft voice she knew sounded behind him.

Maura reflexively turned her body and smiled brightly when she saw her mother who was pushing the trolley with a strange and happy look.

Oh no..
