The story of Lisa 8

Lisa POVS.

In a moment, my phone rang. I had to open my eyes in annoyance. Grabbing a small object that is classified as one of the most intelligent communication tools for me. With eyes closed next to each other, narrowed to see whose name appeared on the screen. I was flabbergasted, for a few seconds my breath stopped when I saw Max's name appearing on my phone screen.

I've had her number for a long time, ever since my parents were there. I have it because long ago, Dad borrowed my phone to call him, when my dad's cell phone battery was lowbatt.

I immediately got up from my bed and rubbed my eyes in turn. Accompanied by the ringtone of my phone that I really like. Hearing this song makes me feel excited.

🎶

Wait, can you turn around, can you turn around?

Just wait, can we work this out, can we work this out?

Just wait, can you come here please? 'Cause I want to be with you

🎶

With an irregular heartbeat, I played my thumb to slide the green mark on my phone screen and stick it to my ear. "Hallo?"

It has been 2 days since the incident where I was too brave or even impressed barbarians, kissed her cheeks and hugged her at that time. It made me afraid to meet him. In the end, I just stayed in my own home. Though the previous days I always spent to relax with his sister, Tika.

It is not uncommon for me to go to his house to stay overnight. Of course with Tika. And maybe that's why I'm meeting him more often. Which without me noticing, this feeling appeared somehow at first.

"I'm in front of your house" Max said across the street, leaving me flabbergasted until my mouth opened slightly, forming a small 'O.

My tongue seems to be unable to move. I was nervous to death, like being stared at by someone who could make me misbehave. My head turned to and fro. Panicked.

"You're home, right?" he said again that inevitably I have to answer quickly. I confirm my existence, if I am in the house.

"Tu—wait ben—tar." I was nervous and threw the phone in the middle of the bed without disconnecting. Then I jumped up to get out of bed to the bathroom.

It was only this morning that I realized that my bedroom was a mess. Because when I step on my feet, I often step on strange things scattered on the floor. One of them is a bean and a brooch that is separated from the mother. Fortunately, it is not stepping on a pin or other sharp object. But those two things were enough to make me have to grimace in pain or even grumble.

Arriving in the bathroom, I quickly brushed my teeth and washed my face with facial foam. Then don't forget to straighten my hair and lock it like a horse's tail. And for some reason, I grabbed a bottle of splash cologne, then poured it slightly on both palms of my hands in turn and rubbed it against my neck.

Once again I checked all the lightning activities I did, until when I was about to step out of the bathroom, I suddenly slipped and fell. Yeah, I'm so careless. I used to always wear my footwear as soon as I got out of bed, but I don't know why I did it.

I again tried to stand up, grabbing the washbasin table as the pedestal of my hand to pull my own body. With great difficulty, I was finally able to stand up straight again, followed by pain in my waist and buttocks. I was trained to walk to the door of the room and continue the steps leading to the front door of my house.

Chequek!

I turned the child to the door twice, then pressed the doorknob while pulling it inside to open it. The figure of Max standing gallantly appeared in the doorway. Making my heart beat again. Even his hands were still folded lifting the mobile phone that was still stuck in his ear.

All the moves Max did seemed to move very slowly in my vision. The moment he removed his phone from his ear and the sunlight that illuminated the back of his body left me even more stunned. The breeze that hit her hair made her face more charming at this time. Then closed with a tight pull from both corners of his lips that painted a deadly smile. There really is no other man who can beat the charm of this first brother of my best friend.

"You're all right." Max blurted out his first sentence when we came back face to face. It makes me feel weird about what he said. Something feels awkward.

I gaped up and slightly moved my head, "Huh?!"

Again Max gave me a smile that was so peaceful, it was so soft when I saw the charm. I let go of my right hand which was still holding the doorknob and then patted my cheek twice. While feeling the clap of my hand, hoping that what I am experiencing right now is not a sleeping flower.

Plaque plaque!

It doesn't hurt, it just feels like if I slap my own cheek, which means it's not a delusion or my delusion, is it?

"Hey, why?" As fast as lightning Max caught my hand and grabbed it. He pulled his eyebrows together with slightly rounded eyes. I shook my head quickly. Then I lowered my face, looking at Max's hand that was still holding mine. He realized where my gaze was and immediately released his hand, making me suddenly look back at him while looking at him with a smile.

"What's wrong?" I said in a nervous. I was pretending not to show my nervousness. Because I still feel like a hallucination that I've wanted all along. How not? A Max wants to come back to my house just to see me this early. Isn't that a good sign?

I have to swallow the bitter truth. A bland smile was on the corner of my lips. I thought Max was here alone to talk about something important. Or he's just here to apologize for the cold attitude he gave me the other day. But I was wrong. I let out a rough sigh and left the front door wide open for the two of them. I immediately took a step back towards the kitchen. I need a glass of water.

My slow footsteps made Tika with lightning speed able to balance me towards the kitchen. Then stopping in front of the refrigerator and opening it, I grabbed a bottle of cold drink and immediately opened it, sipping the contents to quench my thirst in my throat.

Suddenly Tika rebuked me when the refrigerator door was closed again. "Why does the tumben already smell like this hour? Any promises, huh?" Tika reviled me with all kinds of questions.

Since two days ago, Tika had suddenly become more chatty than before. He is usually not as good as he is now. He followed me wherever my footsteps were. Asking things that I don't think are too important to question and to discuss.

I also saw Max step inside my house and sit on the sofa in front of the television and turn on the television. Replacing several television channels until he found a channel that displays a news about the world economy.

Suddenly Tika's hand caught both of my cheeks and then brought a look of my face to look at him. Just looking at his eyes and face. "Let's go for a walk." Tika said it suddenly, making me also spontaneously pull back my face until it was released from the confinement of both hands. I was surprised by the unusual invite him, especially with the presence of Max who is also here.

Maybe if Tika was alone and Max just drove it to my doorstep, I would not think strange or the like. Because just like the days before, Tika also came to my house. Invite me to play games, teach me how to cook. He even helped me wash my clothes.

This time I really didn't know what to say. Because if I refuse, I have to give a reasonable reason for him and for Max. But if I accept it, then while with them I have to hide the pain I feel. Then what should I do?

I decided to immediately go take a shower, while clearing my mind and thinking for a moment about Tika's offer. "Gua wants to take a shower first" I told Tika, she smiled making me feel strange again with her smile. "Why smile?" added again.

"That means we walk, right? Mau' right?" Tika's eyes seemed to be wide, round, shining brightly as a sign of a pleasure.

"Gua said to take a shower, not necessarily to go along the way." I passed after saying that. Grabbing my door knob and then going in and into the bathroom. I couldn't see the reaction from Tika's face, after I said the sentence earlier. Was my speech too rude? I don't know. I just wanted to take a shower for a while, wetting my whole body, from the tip of my hair to the stiff end. While clearing my mind.

—————

Max POV's.

Now I'm back on this soft sofa. Right where Lisa was a few days ago hugging me. Ask her how I feel. And make me think about it every day. Without me noticing.

To be honest, I was embarrassed to say hello. I was nervous, but I tried not to show it all to her. And damn again I had to call him, to open the door. Just try Tika didn't challenge me to meet her earlier, maybe my heart won't be this tight. Is this what is called love? I don't know, I don't know. And once again I say in my heart, I do not know and do not want to know about this feeling.

Suddenly Tika came and landed her butt rough on the part of the sofa beside me. His face was bent like a goose, cooked in the cauldron lady asked for a dance, danced four times. Sorong to the left of sorong to the right, lalalalalalala~

Okay, forget for a moment the lyrics of the little boy song, it's time we return to the adult world~

"Why is the face so? Where's Lisanya?" reprimanding me while looking at the kitchen and around, looking for the figure of the woman. Yes, I have called her a woman, because Lisa understood and dared to kiss me at that time.

Then with her face like that, Tika said that, Lisa has not received her invitation and prefers to do her activities to clean her body. Leaving Tika who stood sculpting alone in front of the door of her room.

"Where are you going to get him? Do I have to come along?" ask me again while putting one of my hands on the back of the sofa.

Tika said that she wanted to invite Lisa to go to the beach and that meant having to take me. Because I told him once, if he and Lisa wanted to travel far, had to go through my permission and this time it was not only my permission that he managed to get, but managed to take me along with his plan.

Then Tika also said why he wanted to invite Lisa to go to the beach. Because all this time they have never gone to such a place both for a vacation. And the words of my sister at a glance back to remind me, if only a few more days Lisa was in this city. He will go abroad to study. Completed education.

There aren't many words I can say to calm Tika down. In fact, I only advise him to sit quietly and wait for his best friend to finish his morning activities. Then take her back to the beach as originally planned.

Brak!

The sound of someone closing the door sounded so clear in my ears, that I had to forcefully turn my head, looking for who made the source of the sound. And sure enough, Lisa made it, she closed the door to her room and stepped into the kitchen. And I spontaneously turned to Tika who was also watching Lisa. Then with lightning fast Tika comes to Lisa to persuade her to participate back in the original plan.

I only listened at a glance with my mind drifting out of nowhere. Until finally, Tika dragged Lisa to stand in front of me and said that in the end they were ready to make the journey towards being clever this time. And I can only grant my sister this request.

And most importantly, I need to be able to keep my attitude. Let my sister and Lisa enjoy the ride this time.
