ADORE YOU'S

Episode 6

Jeff's steps stopped when he almost approached the school complex, he saw a shoulder-haired girl wearing a high school uniform sitting in the distance. The girl was mobbed by people, apparently

residents around, make the streets around become a bit jammed. Looks like a father-father looked back and forth on the phone, who knows with whom and some mothers helped the girl drink the water offered by one of the mothers. His heart melos not kareno. With breath still sting

he approached the girl.

“Sorry, please give me the way.” Jeff said to the crowd

“He's your friend?” ask a mother. Jeff nodded slowly

“You're fine, right?” her question was worried as she patted the girl's shoulder from behind

The girl was shocked and looked at Jeff.

“I-iya.” Ask her confused

It turns out that the girl is not Naomi as she thought, she is just one of the students involved in a single accident who happens to attend also in Foundation High School.

 “Ah, ma-sorry. I guess my friend. Forgive me once again.” He said as he walked away

Jeff was sitting on the sidewalk, his mind so fucked up right now. Where is Naomi now? What if the news he heard had become reality? Jeff batted his head in frustration.

Jeff walked gontai while feeling his feet sore because of running as hard as possible without wearing footwear into the extracurricular room, but the lights in the room had been extinguished. There are no more students at this school.

“Sister Jeff?” ask one of the voices coming from the locker room.

Jeff turned around and ran towards the source of the voice.

“I think something bad happened to you, Naomi. I'm worried half dead.” Say it while pulling the little girl's body into her arms.

Naomi was confused just to be quiet

Jeff breathed a sigh of relief, he smiled as he hugged the girl tightly as if he was going to break a bone in the girl's body

“I'm relieved, you're fine. Thank goodness.”

“Ma-sorry, Brother Jeff. I can't breathe.” His words awakened Jeff

Jeff realized what he was doing and then took off his embrace.

“I'm sorry. I'm reflex... But, you're okay, right?” ask Jeff

Naomi nods confusedly, “Iya... I'm fine.”

Jeff nodded and smiled at Naomi. He saw the face of the girl. Maybe nothing bad happened as he thought.

“Why are you still here until this late?” ask Jeff to worry.

“NAOMI!” call someone from a distance

Naomi waves at the guy, “Wait a minute.”

Jeff squinted his eyes, “Who?” ask her

“Oh, that's my classmate, Vishnu. He helped me find my lost shoes. If there wasn't him maybe I wouldn't be able to go home now.” Naomi smiled with a smile

“You like it?” asked Jeff briefly but seemed cold

Naomi was surprised to get the question from Jeff,

“A-me. I just kind of admire her.” Answer Naomi stutters

Jeff smiled bitterly, “Your friend is waiting for you, go home. It's night anyway.”

“But I have an appointment with sister to learn today.”

“Then, it's okay. I happen to be going out with Yohan and Made. I'm here to tell you that.”

“Is it really okay?”

Jeff nodded again

“Come home, your friend is waiting.”

Naomi finally said goodbye to Jeff while repeatedly turning around and apologizing. Jeff only smiled thinly but occasionally seemed to withstand the pain of his feet that began to bleed. Seen by the back

the girl who slowly began to walk away, occasionally heard the sound of laughter Naomi who was carefree along with the man named Vishnu. The pain in his legs is now radiating to his chest.

Jeff returns to his apartment with his legs full of blisters and bleeding. His hysterical friends know Jeff's condition, hugging him at the same time.

“You're running a marathon without shoes?” tease Made while holding Jeff to the couch

Jeff just kept quiet

“You panicked us half to death, I thought there was a very serious situation. Youknew. I was so scared when you ran like you were in a doldrums like that.” Omel Made again

“Sorry.. won't happen again.” Jeff said softly

“Yohan, Daniel. Please buy alcohol, red medicine, and gauze. There's nothing here to treat his wound.” Made orders on Yohan and Daniel who have just returned from fetching clean water.

“Alright, the Pharmacy across the street, right?” ask Yohan to make sure

Made nodded. Yohan and Daniel hurry to buy the items that Made meant earlier.

“Come, Daniel. Accompany me to the bottom.”

“Wait a minute, brother. I'll take the jacket first.” Reply Daniel

“You really why?” made asked softly when Yohan and Daniel were gone

Jeff stared at Made long ago but finally shook his head, “Nothing.”

“I know all her, is this related to Naomi?” tanya Made who succeeded made Jeff surprised

“How...”.

“I've known since you first met, there's something strange when you stare at the girl. I just met you, but I don't know, it feels like you've been your friend for a long time. If you

want to, you can tell me. About any.” Made's speech cuts Jeff's word

many people like it too.”

Made listens to Jeff in silence, listening to all of Jeff's feelings unknown to even Jeff at first. About how that tickling feeling came when the cute girl smiled as she called out her name. About how disturbed he was when he found the girl with someone else who was not

be known. About his worries because he knew, not only did he have such feelings.

Made stroking Jeff's back, “It looks like you're really in love with him.”

Jeff bowed listlessly

“But he likes other people, and the man looks much friendlier than me who.

“Continue, why?”

Jeff looked at Made confused

“Iyaa.. continue if Naomi likes others, why? After all, they're not dating, are they?”

Jeff was still staring at Made confusedly, “I don't understand.”

“You're like a teenager who's first liked a girl, you know what I mean, right?”

“I really like women for the first time. Besides my grandmother and mother, of course.”

Made rubbed Jeff's face with anxiety, “Just a fierce face!”

“HEI!” Shouted Jeff while removing Made's hand from his face

“Bro, if you really like it, try it! Don't be weak!”

“But he likes other men.”

“Terus why? Just make Naomi like you. Beres, right?”

“But don't you, Daniel and Yohan like him too? I don't want to compete with you guys.”

Made grunt gnashed. He looked at Jeff a long time ago. Amazingly, Jeff who looks fierce, cold, indifferent and thug-able turned out to be just a plain twenty-something man.

“I'll teach you slowly. Take it easy, you're in good hands.”

“Wait, don't you have a girlfriend?” jeff asked successfully to make Made speechless

“Wait here for a moment, it looks like someone forgot. I'll catch up with Yohan.” Made said as he ran away from Jeff

“Hei.. hey.. You haven't answered my question! Made up!  Ah, shit, my leg hurts to walk.”

　

***

Jeff sat in the cement chair of the park near the cafeteria while propping up his chin, the canteen was still in a state of desolation because the high school students were still carrying out learning activities, there are only a few students who mill around there because there is no lecture schedule, including Jeff.

 ‘Trying to be ordinary after an overnight confession (although not to the person concerned) is not easy. My eyes are always looking for her whereabouts, smiling when looking at her

although only from a distance, to be honest, right now I want to change positions with his classmates who can

meet every time. Her smile was so sweet especially when she flicked her brown hair when the wind blew on it. What a sight I only want to see myself.’

Jeff nodded with a smile looking at Naomi who was in the second-floor music class.

‘If I could go there and stand beside the girl while brushing her beautiful hair.’

“Do not forward, Mad.” Said Jeff cutting the narrative from Made who helped prop up the chin on the cement table in the

beside Jeff.

“Iya.. yes... You must be ashamed. Very funny.” Goda Made

“KAK...KAK MADE...” shouted one of the students from the music class while waving at them

both

Made who was startled reflexively stood up while waving his hand. Jeff squinted his eyes to look at someone who was shouting that loud.

“Naomi?” jeff asked Made, who is now sitting down

Naomi who is smiling brightly while waving her hand to Jeff and Made is pulled by her friend, while

shut the girl's mouth.

“NAOMI, YOU'RE NOISY!”

“You're also noisy!”

“Hahahahaa, they're funny.” Made said that he was anxious to see the behavior of Naomi and her friend while occasionally hitting Jeff's arm

“I'll be there. Wait yes.” Naomi said quietly while hinting that she would join them.

Jeff nodded and Made made an okay mark with his thumb.

“You have no more lessons?” ask Naomi and her friend who joined them.

‘’After this empty hour, Mrs Imelda, the fiercely begging Math teacher, there is a need in

outside of school so we are told to study independently.” Echa, Naomi's friend who joined

“Learn here only.” Said Jeff

Naomi and Echa hurriedly pulled out the book that they had already brought from here.

“Ehehe, rather than back and forth, sis.” Naomi cengengesan said

From the second floor, the figure kept an eye on Naomi and Jeff who were joking while occasionally returning

open the book that Naomi brought. It seemed like he was furious, the brown book he was holding, squeezed with all his might to a point of sepulchre.
