The story of Lisa 5

Lisa POVS.

I sighed as I watched Tika enter a car in the distance. Passed by a sedan that took him. I don't know who he's going to and where, I don't understand. I let out a heavy sigh as her brother now appeared before me. Yes, Max, he showed up with a pair of bagels placed on a plate. He put it on the table in front of me and told me to eat it.

"Eat dong. Still full, huh?" max asked me, he took one of those bagels and ate it shamelessly in front of me.

Obviously without shame, after all why would he be ashamed if only to bite a piece of wheat produced from the oven grill? I overestimated it. Every now and then I throw my eyes at Max who is staring at his phone screen. It was as if he was reading with great concentration.

But suddenly, Max turned to look at me, making me feel ashamed because he was caught watching her. I immediately threw my gaze in the other direction, while justifying my wind-blown hair.

"Would you like to come home?" Max asked again, this time he moved his seat to face me. Then he looked at me while sipping on the contents of his warm cup of coffee. I shook my head quickly, made her sit back down and play her phone again.

To be honest, I don't want to go home sooner. But I don't know what to do here either? Is it constantly letting it dissolve on his phone? Then I stole a glance, silently watching her from where I was sitting.

Or should I take her for a chat? But what am I gonna ask? What is his interest in a conversation? When should I ask you about that sexy woman in the Mekdi? I took a long breath. I took my phone and started to get carried away on each other's phones.

It's been almost 2 hours me and Max sit in this place and dwell on each other's phones. I'm starting to get bored. I opened my eyes, looking around our table. While Max still remains with his phone and one hand the other is holding a cigarette. I don't know how many cigarettes he's been smoking since.

I grabbed my ice latte glass and drank it. It turned out that the small movement I did was able to take Max's eyes off the screen of his gadget. I who unintentionally glanced at him felt so uncomfortable, when our eyes collided.

"Udah bosen?" he asked gently, making me almost choke. I put my coffee cup back down and nodded my head.

Max stood up from his seat and told me to wait for him. My eyes followed the footsteps that led him to enter the cafe towards the cashier's desk. I don't know what else he's doing, I re-justify my sitting position and then take the bagel left one for me from the plate and eat it.

"I thought you didn't want to eat here, so I asked for this" Max said suddenly, leaving me strangled in shock. Fortunately, I did not choke at the time. He thrust out a special small paper bag to wrap the bagel that I just bit. To appreciate it, I stood up from my seat and stuffed the bagel into the paper bag and showed a big smile like the advertisement of one of the toothpastes.

There was no reciprocal expression from him other than turning around and then walking first leaving me far behind. I was still amazed by his attitude then ran small to align the footsteps beside him.

No words came out of Max's mouth. Only music accompanied us in the car, on the way home. Max deflects the steering wheel of his car, entering a residential complex. And I recognize this region, because this is where my home is.

Max stops his car engine when it enters the side yard of the house. Looking at me but I was busy looking towards the end of my two shoes while occasionally glancing at them.

"Und through." Max announces. I looked at him with my eyes looking through the details of his face. Until what I had intended to say thank you, it froze. My tongue is as though it is muddled with both lips that lock tightly to my mouth.

I held tightly to the paper bag that wrapped the rest of the bagel that I had eaten. Then I don't know what's going through my body until I dare to move my body forward, then kiss the lightning on the tip of Max's lips. Then immediately out of his car, ran open the door of the house and then entered and closed the door again. I forgot to close the car door!

My heart was beating fast, my breathing was stingy as it ran as fast as lightning to get inside the house. After I kissed her, I felt ashamed. When he looked at her, he looked the other way but suddenly his head moved again, making my lips quickly land on the corner of his lips, not on the cheek!!

"Stupid! You idiot!" I cursed my disrespectful behavior while closing my eyes and resting my head on the door.

—————

Max POV's.

For a few seconds I was silent, not expecting that I would get an attack so quickly from Lisa, my sister's best friend. Then he regained his senses and turned to the door of my car that he had no time to close. And the shadow of him disappeared behind the door of his house.

Drrtt!

The sound of the vibration of my phone that I previously put on the dashboard of the car. I blinked my eyes so I could go back to the real world. Because getting zeperti treatment earlier never crossed my mind.

I grabbed the phone and pressed the screen lock until the screen light turned on and found a short message sent by my sister, Tika. He asked me where I was at the moment. I just stared at the message, I didn't reply. Then I put my phone back where it was. Get out of the car to close the door on the other side. This time my phone rang when I was about to close the open car door.

🎶

My location unknown tryna find a way back home to you again

I gota get back to you gota get back to you

My location unknown tryna find a way back home to you again

I gota get back to you gota get back to you

🎶

I reached out to the object that read through the passenger seat and found Tika's name appearing on my phone screen. I got a phone call from him.

"What?" I said softly while glancing towards my watch, the time has already shown at five in the afternoon.

I listened to my sister who was asking for her best friend's position and she also asked me to give Lisa my phone, because she wanted to talk to her. Tika also said that Lisa's phone could not be reached.

"Shortly," I answered her request. I grabbed my car keys, got out of there and closed the door I wanted to close. He walked to Lisa's doorstep.

I knocked on Lisa's door, because I didn't see a bell around her door frame. Once, there was no answer. Both times, there was no answer. The third time, there was no answer. The fourth time, the door opened slowly.

"Where are you guys?" sewot Tika when I just removed the phone from my ear and thrust it on Lisa who had appeared from behind the door. Standing with a sudden look of eyes downwards, like looking at the tip of his foot.

I can understand why he behaved like this, must be because he was ashamed of what he had done to me in the car earlier. While looking at his head that was bowed, I gave my phone to the front of his face that suddenly made him look up my head to return my eyes at this time.

"When you want to talk," I said telling the purpose of my attitude that thrust the thin object at him. Lisa greeted the object, while I was lamgsung snuggled into her house without asking her permission first. Because I thought they would have a long chat until they forgot the time, so it was better if I went in and invited myself to sit and relax there.

I stepped inside her house, leaving Lisa still standing still in the doorway. Then shortly afterwards I heard her voice muffling which began to chat with Tika over the phone. The deeper I stepped in, with my eyes spreading to all corners of the room. Nothing has changed!

Yes, all the furniture and the layout is still the same as it was, when I last came here. Looks clean and very neat. This room is also very fragrant. I decided to drop my ass sitting on a sofa that leads right in front of the television.

But suddenly as soon as I turned my head, I already found Lisa standing in front of me and returned the phone, to return it to me. I welcome that thing.

"Nothing has changed, everything is still in place" I said, throwing a smile at him.

"Because it should be so." Lisa replied and decided to sit on the same sofa as me. Yes, the sofa is quite long and quite comfortable, enough for 4 people.

I still circled my eyes, until I found a photo that showed Lisa in uniform during Junior High. Reminds me of Tika. They both got back to being familiar. Like a twin brother. Since childhood they have been together.

A glimpse of my brain's memory again shows a flashback when I was a kid. The moment where I just got a little brother. After a year later I got another sister and this time a girl, Tika. It's so happy it feels. So did my parents.

And more complete their happiness, when he heard the news if his wife om Rizal gave birth and got a baby girl as well. Om Rizal is papah's assistant, Papah's only confidant, whose father is Lisa.

So it can be ascertained, that the age of Lisa and Tika is only a few days adrift. Until finally after graduating Junior High they both returned familiar until now. Live the toughest days together, through the worst days. Remind and strengthen each other. I chuckled as I remembered all of that.

Then I remembered Lisa's plan to continue her schooling abroad, London to be exact. It was Om Reza who told me when we were chatting. He is the successor to the position of Mr. Rizal which, he is his own biological brother.

"I'm afraid you're on a scholarship to college in London" I said. Then he looked at her, waiting for the answer to come out of his mouth.

"Yes." Yeah."

"When you leave?"

"One more week." Lisa answered very briefly. I wanted Lisa to go to college with Tika in Malang. So that me or mamah can easily control and visit them both. Because I still remember very well the responsibility that you promised Lisa's parents when they went to take care of the papah company.

I chuckled amusedly, "Tika will definitely ask for a ticket, make a vacation there if she misses you."

Then Lisa asked me again, "Aren't you going to miss me?"

When her words surprised me, I turned to her who was also looking at me. I can't believe what I just heard. Lisa suddenly changed her sitting position. Getting closer and facing right next to me. He looked at me intensely, waiting for the answer I was about to say. "Aren't your questions wrong?"

Lisa replied by shaking her head. Then a surprising question escapes again uttered by Lisa. "Are you not interested in me?"

A bar-bar question Lisa asked me. And I didn't expect that he would be this brave to ask that question.

But I admit, Lisa is a good woman. Yes, she deserves to be called a woman. Because he has successfully completed his school period and is now entering his college years. Even with his current condition, which obliges him to think like an independent woman in general, makes me salute him. And that attitude he transmitted to my brother who is now slowly abandoning his effective attitude. I'm grateful for that.

But none of this made me interested in him. Since I was a child, I thought of him as my brother, nothing more. "You're like Tika, my sister."

After saying that sentence, I immediately stood up from my seat, intending to take a break and end the strange chatter between us. But who would have thought, just as I was about to stand up, Lisa had already dropped her body on me. Twisted my waist with both her hands and her ears attached to my chest.

I was surprised, but due to the fragrance of the strands of his hair, able to make me suddenly enjoy his embrace. Unconsciously I stroked her head. Wasn't it! Not without awareness, but with full awareness. But nothing more, just stroking her head, the same as when I stroked Tika's head as she hugged me.

"I'm your sister, but we're not blood." Lisa refused what was my decision. He cannot accept all my words. He lifted the hug, looked up at me and said, "Can't bloodless brothers love each other?"

The other bar-bar questions that came out of his mouth made me really feel numb. But with our position like this and with his body perfectly attached to me, it feels bull*shit if I don't think wild. And again, I am a normal guy, who would definitely be tempted if treated like this.

But many times I tried to brush off my wild thoughts. Strengthened my stance.

I grabbed Lisa's shoulders and removed her arms from my body. Then I stood up immediately. "Better you take a shower, clear your mind!" I said firmly then passed, stepping away towards the front door and out of his house.

I immediately got in my car turned on the engine and then stepped on the accelerator, going at full power to get out of the housing complex. My mind is so fucked. I didn't think Lisa would be that barbaric in expressing her feelings. More to reveal it to me. A sister of her own best friend.

But as a man, I can't be that indifferent to him either. I'm a normal guy, and I don't have a partner right now. But he is my brother's best friend, I don't think this way. All of these sentences were simple in my brain, seeking each other's defense. Makes my feelings less and less awkward.
