PODCAST ROMANCE: Love You Mr Lucifer

Chapter 2

My living room is now like a broken ship—very messy. Because I put all the tasks that I have to do. From the assignment book to the material book, I put everything on the floor.

Then I grabbed a pen as I wanted to write down the answers to each question. Just as the book was opened, I was immediately disgusted by the questions.

What should I do? Not a single word came to mind at all about this task. I admit, to be honest, this feeling of laziness increases when learning to use the online system. I think it's useless for me to pay high school fees per month if I don't get any knowledge.

I was lost in a daydream, contemplating how to get out of all this dire situation. Sometimes, I occasionally blame the circumstances. Then blame the government.Just imagine, there is no justice for the world of education.

The place for studying is now tightly closed because it is feared that the virus will spread. But it is very clear, the tourist gates are wide open, free of people passing by.

Knock!

The pen that I had been holding all this time was now thrown away without me realizing it. “Arghhh… why is this so unfair to me?” I said, accompanied by a whimper.

Sick of the endless task, and decided to unlock my phone. Looking for entertainment that can relieve boredom. Pressed one of the audio on the audio streaming app.

The owner of this podcast account has become a trending topic because it brings one theme, namely virtual. What's so special about that theme?

"Perhaps, my listeners have experienced a virtual connection."

What?! Anyone still believe in virtual relationships? Knowing via social media, then can feelings just grow without any previous meeting? Ugh, stupid! What if the person who becomes our partner is two-faced? On social media he is good, handsome, cool, but when we meet…

Oh my God, no one knows. It's just the typed capital and the voice of the masses, people immediately get carried away, right? It's possible that in the real world he also has a partner who is always by his side, right?

My message to those who are in that relationship; open your eyes, ladies! Don't be fooled by a love whose origins are not clear where it comes from.

Even when I look at the comments column, there are lots of listeners who vent because their relationship is getting more and more tenuous because of the change in the attitude of their partner. Just decide, what's so hard, anyway?

Calm down, Anna….

My emotions fluctuate constantly. In this modern era, there are still people who are not wise in choosing love.

"Hi! Come back with me, Lucifer. In a podcast that will accompany your days that may be hit by loneliness. Keep enjoying listening happily … Let's get started. This episode I will title… virtual.”

“Virtual relationships, in my opinion, are very challenging relationships. I call them brave. During a pandemic like this, it may be familiar that most people are looking for a partner on social media. So to receive the day, encourage, a place to share stories, or even really love.”

Nonsense. Love can't be explained just through words. Love needs proof. If you choose to go virtual, where is the seriousness? I just want to date a flat devil. I still can't figure it out.

Lucifer really discusses his roots, he often provides solutions for those who are undergoing virtual relationships.

My body shook due to someone who ignored me.

“Oh my gosh, Anna! Get up!"

Suddenly I was surprised by it. Then, slowly opening my eyes from a deep sleep, there was a middle-aged woman who was babbling at maximum speed. That woman is a mom. He really likes to talk, especially in front of his children.

Oh Lord! Turns out I fell asleep from listening to that podcast. It doesn't feel like my internet package has run out. Oh, that sucks.

"Anna, have you finished your assignment?" The question asked by my mom took me by surprise. Seriously, because I fell into the Lucifer Podcast, I even forgot to do it.

I shook my head in response, not forgetting to be accompanied by a grin. One hit landed on my body. The blow flew instantly, very powerful. Mom will hit me lovingly. She was upset because her daughter, who used to always be the champion of the class, had now dropped drastically and had even become a lazy figure at studying.

"Gosh, Mom!" I screamed for Mom to stop her anger. She stopped being annoyed and immediately left the room, "Don't make me disappointed, Na."

She is like that in character, educating her child in a different way so as not to be surprised if one day she is in the adult world. The world was too cruel for a child who had just been born.

In fact, I am now in the twelfth grade, waiting for graduation to arrive. My goal to become the best graduate seems to be lost in time. It seems now too far to boast of parents.

Even though this is not my desire to be entangled in an education that has no clear way of teaching. It turned out that I was too weak to deal with this pandemic condition, like it wasn't my world.

I still stare at the messy books in front of my eyes. Just as I finished washing my face, I had to look back at the task I had to complete. No one can help me now, my brain is so uncooperative because

"What should I do now?"

I couldn't find an answer, and saw that my internet package ran out because I fell asleep while listening to the podcast earlier. However, not long after that, a lot of notifications appeared on my phone. A miracle came because there was a neighbor's WIFI connected to my phone. Oh, thank God ... so I can ask friends.

Immediately I opened the Class Chat Room, there were already listed all the answers to the assignments I had been looking for. Yes, my class is always concerned about the spirit of solidarity that has no limits. Regarding value, that's later… because we believe that value cannot pay for togetherness.

Without further ado, I immediately wrote down the answers to each question. For this time, it's okay to justify any means so that the task is completed, as I am currently doing, it seems like. As Cheating.

Her reputation as a diligent student has collapsed due to the pandemic, which has made her the opposite. But not for the next, because just now she said not to disappoint her. I will try to prevent something like this from happening again.

I have filled task after task to the fullest, even though I rely on a friend's answer. I opened the audio streaming application again and listened to Lucifer's podcast again. Not because of the discussion, but because of his voice, which managed to calm me down and relieve my boredom by reflecting on my brain. I admit that his voice is … addictive to hear.
