Alyssa & Mario: Friends Become Love

Chapter 23 - Has not yet answered

"So, will you continue to choose to pretend not to know your heart? I can't Ca. Now I want to be honest with my heart. I love you. I love you more than friends. I don't want to be your friend anymore. Can we start over again? Not as a friend, but as a couple?"

Alyssa speechless. He was surprised by every word Mario said. To be honest, he was happy because his love was reciprocated. But, it felt too easy if he had to take it for granted. Moreover, he had been disappointed by Mario before when he was still a friend.

"Ca?" call Mario because Alyssa won't answer.

"Hello ... " Mario moved her fingers in front of Alyssa's face.

Alyssa began to flinch by staring fixedly at Mario's face. Then pull the blanket and change position to back Mario. Whether this is the right decision or not, but Alyssa wants to see the seriousness of Mario whether the man really loves him or not.

"Ca, hey! Why even stare at me? You haven't answered Ca!"

Alyssa shook her head as her hands flicked hinting Mario to get out of her room.

"Tante hasn't come home yet Ca. Nani lo is alone at home."

"Bodos! Mending you go home!" shouting Alyssa.

"Yes, but answer first dong Ca. I'm welcome what?" ask Mario again.

"Gue won't answer. I'm still the same with you."

Mario breathed slowly. As Alyssa kept driving him away from there, Mario left too. Fearing, there are people passing by who continue to hear Alyssa's screams and even think Mario will do indecent to Alyssa.

After exiting Alyssa's house, Mario looks into Alyssa's room for a moment and walks towards her house with a bent face.

It is different with Alyssa who likes not to play. He could not even stop smiling. His love was avenged, but he never struggled a bit. I can only keep it in silence.

"God, why am I so happy?"

However, a second later, his smile disappeared when he recalled Mario's treatment that left him disappointed.

"Huh! But I can't just take it for granted. She was afraid that she would just make me give up on her breakup with Shilla. Besides, I don't want to be counted as someone's girlfriend."

A few days later, Alyssa was allowed to attend school by her mother. As usual, he will ride the bus as a means of transportation.

Arriving at the class, he immediately sat behind Jehana. Jehana greets Alyssa and asks the situation of the woman.

"Hi Ca's. Is it lightening? You have just left school."

"Udah. I just have a fever like a headache" Alyssa replied lightly.

"Just a fever, you say? Three days of not attending school. That's not an ordinary fever. Wonderful man!"

Replied by Alyssa.

"What's important now is that I'm here and ready to take another lesson. That means I'm fine. Thanks for worrying about me and looking at me yesterday."

Jehana.

Until the first break bell rings, Alyssa invites Jehana to the library. There they read each other's favorite books quietly and peacefully.

Mario comes to Alyssa's class, intending to take the woman to the cafeteria just to buy snacks or drinks. It's just that Alyssa wasn't there. There are only a few classmates Alyssa and Ashilla.

Ashilla who saw Mario come to his class, a little jumawa because he considers Mario regretful with his decision a few days ago regarding the breakdown of the relationship between the two. When Mario was about to drop out of his class, Ashilla held him back.

"You're going to my class because you want to fix our relationship, right?" ashilla asked in a soft voice because she did not want to be heard by her other classmates.

Mario shakes.

"Gue find Alyssa. Because he said he went to school today. I want to make sure of that."

Disappointed, Ashilla showed in front of Mario. Now Mario again calls himself a 'gue' not 'me' anymore. Making Ashilla must be really aware of their relationship that has ended.

"So you came because Alyssa wasn't because of me and our relationship?" ask Ashilla again to make sure.

"Yes, it's all because of Alyssa. What else to discuss? Aren't we over? You asked for a break up."

Because he did not want his discussion to be heard by his friends further. Ashilla pulls Mario's hand and takes him to the school garden.

"What the hell? Why bring me here?"

"I don't want to break up with Rio. My request to break up at that time was not real. I said it was because of emotion. Please," said Ashilla, grabbing Mario's hand.

Mario starts to release Ashilla's hand from his. He sighed first to begin giving understanding to Ashilla.

"Shilla, we've broken up. There's nothing more we can knit. Sorry I love Alyssa. Don't ever blame him for our break-up. He's not the third. Because I'm here who b*jangan. If our relationship continues to be forced. What's going on is getting sicker."

"I don't feel so Mario. I'll make you fall in love with me again" said Ashilla.

"I don't even know myself. My feelings yesterday to you, really love what not. I don't feel lost when you're invisible in my eyes. I don't even feel jealous when I see you joking around laughing and huddling together like your guy. I don't feel it all Shill. But, with Alyssa I feel it. It even feels slashed. L'm ... "

"Enough! I don't want to hear anymore! Don't say anything!" shouts Ashilla who feels jealous when Mario reveals his heart about Alyssa. He could not if it had to be juxtaposed with Alyssa. It doesn't feel comparable.

Ashilla leaves Mario, with the pain the woman brings. To be honest, Mario feels guilty, but how else. He also could not lie constantly about the firecrackers. She really loves Alyssa. I was afraid of losing that woman.

"Hopefully you get a better man than me, Shill. Sorry I just gave you a wound. But, this is better, before our relationship is long established."

Mario took his foot from the park to his class because the doorbell rang again.
