Aleyza Valerie's

Stay different and lose Maisie

It was night but Athaya still could not sleep. It seems, meeting Aleyza at this hour is the right choice.

Athaya opened the door slowly and stepped out. He crossed the road to reach Aleyza's house in front of him. All the lights of the girl's house had gone out, except for her room.

“EYZAYANG!” yelled Athaya loudly. He rang Aleyza's doorbell several times to let the girl quickly open the door for him.

Not long after, Aleyza came out in a nightgown wrapped around her body. The girl's hair was disheveled, both her hands were holding onto the laptop.

“What the hell Tha! I knew at night, why?!” ask Aleyza for wonder.

Athaya rolled her eyeballs. Not wanting to answer Aleyza's question, he immediately entered and headed for Aleyza's room on the second floor.

“Heh! His people were answered! No courtesy, um!” aleyza shouted while chasing Athaya.

Arriving at the girl's room, Athaya headed straight for the bed. Without thinking Long, he immediately landed his butt there.

“Zayang.”

“What the hell? I want to do OSIS tasks, what do you want?” aveng Aleyza grumbled.

“Sini, sit.” Tell Athaya while patting the Mattress he occupied.

Not wanting to argue, Aleyza obeyed the man. He sat down with Athaya. “Why Thayang? Why?”

Athaya laid her body on the chair and made Aleyza's thigh a cushion. Both of his sharp eyes were staring at Aleyza's bead carefully.

“Kangen know, want to be dong.” Athaya said with a slightly spoiled tone.

Aleyza rolled her eyeballs. Kumat kan! Habit, if spoiled it has come like this. The turn in front of the Vagos children alone is fierce not playing. However, Aleyza did so with pleasure.

“Manja really you, already like Miko aja.” Reply Aleyza, then giggle amusedly.

Athaya clucked. He bent his face not like it. “I'm with Miko aja handsome me, Za. Besides I'm human, don't be equated with your animal.”

“Well, what's sewot? Though you guys are equally funny tau.”

“Funny me!”

Aleyza laughed again. “Just you guys are both funny! Point.”

“Za, stop together - in I'm the same Miko!”

“No can love me.”

Athaya clucked slowly. “TERRED!”

Aleyza continued her activities of stroking Athaya's hair. Meanwhile, Athaya was silent with a blank look. It's been a few days now that Athaya feels that Maisie is really avoiding him.

Athaya thought, did he have anything wrong? But Athaya thought he had done nothing wrong. I don't know what made Maisie avoid when she accidentally passed him.

“Tha, why daydream?” aleyza asked with a frown.

Athaya who immediately realized it was shaking her head to refocus. “Nothing, kok Zayang.”

Aleyza stared in dislike towards Athaya. “I know you're lying! And I don't like that. You why?”

“I feel that Maisie's sister changed and her impression avoided me.” Athaya reply honestly.

“Ouh.” Reply Aleyza briefly.

“In fact, that time was when I was the same he did not intentionally meddle in school. He went straight away and avoided me.”

“More lost?” Aleyza raised her eyebrows.

Athaya was surprised by Aleyza's question. But then he laughed seeing that. “You're jealous darling?’ goda. From his face alone Athaya could already guess that Aleyza was feeling jealous.

“G."

Athaya who tried to change the awkward atmosphere began to look for new topics. “Temenin token I jog, want?”

Aleyza shook her head slowly. “You forgot? I have to go worship, Tha.”

Athaya grimaced softly. Again, that is the reality. “Sorry, I kind of forgot. You knew? Sometimes I always want you to pray together. But, I'm sometimes confused.” Said Athaya who was slightly hanging.

“Bingung? Why?” ask Aleyza for wonder.

“Bingung want to use my prayer, or your prayer.” Reply Athaya as is.

Aleyza laughed blandly. “It turns out we remain in different condition yes.”

***

Athaya came down the stairs quickly when she heard the bell in her house ringing. Today, Father, Mother, and Adelard are going to visit their grandmother's house. So Athaya was alone in his house.

As he opened the door of his house, just then Athaya's eyes were perfectly rounded. How not? In front of him was a well-dressed Maisie after the last few days the girl had avoided him.

“Em, morning Thaya.” Greet the girl with a perfectly fluffy smile.

Athaya was just speechless with her stupid face, making Maisie laugh with anxiety. “Tha, why?” ask her.

“This is actually Maisie right?” ask Athaya still can't believe it.

“Iya I, you think who?”

Athaya. The man scratched the back of his head that was not itchy. “Morning-morning gini, sister Maisie would like to do?”

“If I want to take you away, you want to? No more promises with Aleyza, right? There is something important that I want to discuss.” Maisie replies with a face that is starting to get serious.

Athaya blinked her eyes three times before finally nodding. “Gue again no promise with Eyzayang really, where do you want to go?”

Maisie smiles. “Later I tell you where we're going after you're ready. Now, you better get ready first. Because, it is impossible that we go with lo conditions like this?” Maisie laughed at the end of her sentence.

Athaya reflexes seeing her own appearance. Aware of his appearance now, Athaya was only able to cry. “Gue get ready first if so.”

After saying that, Athaya immediately ran into the house.

Maisie who saw that also smiled amusedly while shaking her head. However, it all did not last long when the girl recalled Athaya's status with Aleyza now. His smile faded right then and there.

***

Athaya did not stop clucking in admiration as she looked around him. Apparently, Maisie took him to a hill that was located quite far from Athaya's house. The shady green trees made his eyes fresh.

“Ouh yes, previously we want to do here?” ask Athaya after getting off the bike.

The two teenagers finally arrived at a large lake. There is a long bridge in the middle. Maisie invites Athaya to tread there.

“Beautiful, I like,” said Athaya with sparkling eyes. “When do I bring Eyzayang here?” ask Athaya.

Maisie nodded quickly. “By kok, can.” Answer her with a sweet smile, which is actually a forced smile.

Maisie turned her body towards Athaya. The girl looked at Athaya intently. “Lo is more handsome aja deh.”

Athaya chuckled lightly. “Yes, that's mah Eyzayang also know. Besides, I'm pretty from birth.”

“Aduh, really bad it turns out.” Maisie looked far ahead. He scratched the back of his head that was not itchy. The girl seemed to be saying something.

“You said yes? Wh why? Confused what to talk about?” ask Athaya who is immediately sensitive.

Maisie folded her lips, to be honest she felt so nervous. “Em, I want to talk about my feelings to lo.”

Athaya looked at the girl confused, her brain still trying to digest Maisie's words. “Hah? Meaning?”

Maisie let out a long sigh. He held Athaya's hands warm. The girl's gaze stared at the shade of the two tanned black beads belonging to Athaya. “Tha, sorry if I was sassy before. I like you from the first time we met.”

Athaya's heart suddenly thumped uncontrollably. The man gulped his saliva with great difficulty. His body suddenly felt cold. He also bit his lower lip hard. His gaze now he turned to look around the lake, not daring at all to look at Maisie's bead eyes.

It was true that his guess had been all along. Maisie likes her, Athaya herself confused as to how. His feelings, and his heart alone, belonged to Aleyza completely.

“You, the first man who made me fall too deep in a feeling of love.” Continue the girl.

“Why? Why do you have to like me?”

Maisie smiled wryly. “Since when does falling in love need a reason?”

Athaya fell silent, still digesting Maisie's words to him.

“Gue self-conscious. You like her the same Aleyza, even you two have been dating. I don't mean to take you from Aleyza either. I just want to be honest about my feelings to lo.”

Athaya's feelings are now mixed. The man felt guilty and also bad. “Sorry, you know myself I love Aleyza since childhood. And I don’t like you either, since a year ago. I already considered you my older sister, nothing more.”

Both of Maisie's shoulders were squeezed. Despite feeling such great disappointment, Maisie could still review the smile to cover up the sadness.

“Nnothing, after all this is a risk that I must accept when I dare to love someone who does not love back is not.” Answer Maisie.

“Lo not angry?” ask Athaya carefully.

Maisie. “What is angry about? If for example the one you love is not me, I can also what?”

“Sorry yes. All this time I just thought of you as my sister.” Athaya was disappointed. The guilt now dominated gnawing at his heart.

“Udah, it's okay. Mending we go home yuk, afraid Aleyza again need lo. I hope, you assume this incident never happened yes.”

***

Maisie off Athaya bike. After giving the helmet to the man, his hand turned tightly to grip the bag strap. Honestly, both Athaya and Maisie were both nervous after the incident on the lake earlier.

“Gue back then if so,” said Athaya saying goodbye.

“Be careful yes.” Answer Maisie.

Maisie chuckled lightly. His feelings warmed up again after seeing the smile on Athaya's lips come back up. “Em, Tha. Permission hugging you for a moment can?”

Athaya hesitates for fear that Aleyza will be angry with her later. However, upon seeing Maisie's sincerely pleading gaze it made her nod her head.

Without long, Maisie immediately pulled Athaya into her arms. The girl took a deep breath, inhaling the refreshing aroma of Athaya perfume.

“Gue apologise huh? Sorry for loving you so much, I said goodbye. Take care of yourself and stay happy with Aleyza.” Maisie's whisper is right in Athaya's right ear.

Both of them break the embrace.

“Gue also apologizes for letting you down. Hope you got a better guy than me yeah.” Athaya chuckles amusedly, as well as Maisie.

After that Athaya returned to wearing a helmet and prepared to leave. “Gue go first yes.”

“Be careful, don't speed ya.” Maisie's sweat when Athaya had closed the helmet glass

Athaya restarted the engine and started leaving Maisie alone. In silence, Maisie looked at the man's departure with a sad look.

“If I can't have you, at least everyone else does. Including Aleyza, Tha. For this time, I want to be a selfish person.”

***

“For her handsome Aleyza.” Aleyza smiled towards Athaya who had just walked out of the house. The man replied with such a charming smile.

“Again, Eyzayang!” reply Athaya cheerfully. Athaya also gave Aleyza's favorite helmet to the girl.

“Today's the ceremony, you didn't forget to bring a hat, did you? Do you want me to law?” ask Aleyza.

“Udah brought by kok dear. Today I do not forget, it was last night you ingetin.” Athaya displays her wide grin.

Athaya was just about to get on his bike. Suddenly, his phone rang. The man broke his intention and picked up the phone first. His forehead shriveled when he saw Farah's mother's name on his phone screen. Quickly, he picked up the phone from Maisie's mother.

“Assalamualaikum, Bu?”

I heard sobs across there. This made Athaya feel extremely anxious.

“Waalaikumsalam, Th... Thaya..

“Mother Farah, why? How to cry?” ask Athaya with a worried look.

“Maisie. Maisie..., there is no Thaya...”.

Athaya rounded his eyes. He smothered his mouth with his hands and his heart was pounding. In his heart, he wished that this was all a dream.

“Bu, this is not true, right? You're not serious, are you?” athaya asked with a trembling voice.

“Mana may be a lying mother, Thaya. Yesterday, after you drove him home, it turned out that he was gone again somewhere. Da_” Mother Farah's voice was cut off in the middle. “Mom can't explain on the phone. Can you go home?”

“I.., yes bu.”

Phone connection disconnected. Athaya's body was squeezing right then and there. The look in his eyes was blank, the man actually felt an unusually large loss.

“tha? Why?” aleyza asked with her panicked face.

“Sir Maisie. In.., he's gone, Za.” Athaya's reply made Aleyza surprised instead of playing.
