Episode thirty-three (33)
It was three in the afternoon. Denisa who came home early today is helping her mother make a nastar cake. It also happens that Lita is taking a leave of absence because these few days are not feeling well.
" Mom, if you're tired, it's better to take a break!" said Denisa who's printing nastar.
" I'm not tired of it."
" But my mother is healed."
" Mom's okay, baby. You don't believe in me."
" It's not so Mom, it's, it's, it's, it's, like,,,,,,."
Tok tok tok tok
Not yet able to continue his words, they heard the sound of the door being knocked from outside.
" Let Denisa open up, ma'am."
Denisa immediately headed ahead and opened the door for a guest she did not know about.
" Yes for a minute!!"
After the door was opened, Denisa was surprised by the two people who were already standing in front of her.
For a moment there was no sound between them, until shortly Alex opened his voice first.
" Can we come in?"
Denisa realized, she felt bad for not letting her guests in first.
" Oh yes, please come in!"
" Who's Nisa?" lita's voice asked from the kitchen.
When she got to the front, Lita was surprised to know who was visiting her house.
" D-he,,,,,,,?"
" Alex and Angela's brother, his girlfriend." Denisa.
" Oooooo, Angela's the one who helped mom that night, right?" said Lita. Angela was confused, she frowned in surprise because she did not feel like she had ever done that at all. While Denisa misbehaved with her mother's speech.
Ever since Angela found out who was headed to Denisa's house, Angela didn't stop asking Alex, what's really going on. But Alex never wanted to answer it, he said let it be explained at Denisa's house later.
Angela didn't think that the woman Alex was referring to was Denisa, because she thought it was impossible. He just guessed, maybe Denisa had something to do with that woman.
" Huh?"
" Eeeeee then I'll get you a drink first."
Denisa deliberately cut off Angela's words, so that her mother forgot and did not discuss the question again.
" Give me the cake we cooked!"
" Yes, ma'am."
Denisa immediately got the two guests a drink. He also brought a plate of nastar that he and his mother had cooked.
" Please!"
Alex immediately took one glass of tea served by Denisa, and put it back after drinking one gulp.
While Angela did not touch at all what was presented by the host.
" We're here to talk to you, Denisa," Alex started the conversation.
" I?" denisa pointed to herself.
" yes. There's something I want to say and Angela wants to know."
Denisa's feeling tense. He guessed in his heart what Alex wanted to say.
Likewise with Angela who began to be worried about what she wanted to hear from Alex.
" W-what is that brother?"
Denisa bit her lip. A nervous wreck hit his heart at this moment.
(Not said anything yet, I was nervous first. What does Alex want to say? at most only asked to be a witness to their relationship. Angela was jealous because Alex was with me last night, and now Alex's sister wants to explain that we have nothing to do. Repot once anyway, the time is only because of jealousy problems until martial came to the house of commoners)
" She's the girl I like" Alex said with eyes focused on Denisa.
Of course everyone there was surprised. Denisa who had been drinking gracefully because she wanted to look beautiful in front of Alex was choking until the water she drank sprayed. Thankfully it didn't hit Alex's face.
While Denisa is still the pelonga-pelongo do not understand who Alex meant. He just didn't want to be smart and thought what Alex meant was him. Because it was also an impossible thing according to him. But anyway, Denisa keeps hoping.
(
" Haha!!"
Finally Angela's laughter broke out, as if filling Denisa's room. His laughter sounded mocking. Where his stomach while in grasp his horn open.
Lita Alex and Denisa frowned at the astonishment of Angela's self-laughing behavior.
" What are you doing?" ask Alex wonder.
" You,,,,,,,,, hahaha,,,,, like him?!" angela replied with a laugh and pointed at Denisa.
Denisa who had just understood also looked surprised at Angela.
(I'm not being embarrassed or misheard, right? alex, you like me?)
" Why, is there something wrong?"
" Not only wrong, but also ridiculous, Alex."
" Ridiculous?" Alex frowned.
" Liking it is ridiculous. I know, you must be lying to me, right?"
" Who is lying?"
For the second time, Denisa was surprised and happy.
"K-sister really likes me?"
Alex just smiled. He then approached Denisa and grabbed her hand for her to hold.
" Can you?" ask Alex to make sure.
Denisa cannot express with words. His lips were too faint to answer. His knees were limp as if he wanted to float. And don't ask me again the state of his heart at this time. Her lips revealed a happy smile that she could not bear, but faded away as Denisa recalled Renata's words this morning.
Slowly, Denisa let go of Alex's hand and rewinded her steps slightly from Alex.
" Sorry, sister" Denisa said.
" I can't," he continued.
" What made you reject me?" Alex looked very disappointed, looking very from the look on his face.
" There are many things that make me reject my sister."
" What?"
" Conscious."
Angela clapped her hands and laughed, then walked up to Denisa.
" It's good that I'm self-conscious. I don't bother explaining it to you anymore." Angela turned to look at Alex
" And you,,,,,,,! I would never let you go if that woman was, DIA!!" angela said to Alex while pointing at Denisa.
" Don't you just say you want to know the woman I like?"
" right. But if she's the one,,,,,, then I won't be willing to" Angela said firmly.
" What's your excuse?"
Angela grinning.
" reason? you still asking me reasons?. Little kids know what my reason is."
Angela, who was still beside Denisa, suddenly stiffened all parts of Denisa's body, as if showing something there.
" Look at this! This, this, this too! is it unclear what I mean? all of his body was made of fat. You might like a woman like this." Angela sneered at all those fat-filled parts of Denisa's body.
Like being hit by a street rock when you hear the taunts. Denisa's heart broke a broken piece.
Maybe he used to be ordinary when he was ridiculed fat, but it was different if it was in front of Alex. Shame and inciciure mixed into one. He was increasingly made aware of the harsh reality that he did not deserve Alex, that indeed someone had to position himself on their own axis.
Himself confused. Stare blankly at the floor of the marble busily. His condensed eyes made his vision blur.
Denisa ran to her room without a word she left for her two guests.
Not intending to be disrespectful, he simply did not want others to see his sadness.
