BLUNT KNIFE
Chapter 12 "Dating"
The sky had been cloudy since this morning but the rain had not hit the earth. Today's weather is very supportive for couples who take advantage of school holidays.
Roy and Lina take a walk around the town of Wonomulyo enjoying Sunday happily, especially Roy.
The last few weeks the relationship with Lina felt closer, they spent a lot of time every day, especially when leaving and going home from school, they seemed to always be together.
after a motorbike walk, Roy invites Lina to lunch at one of his favorite restaurants.
"Do you really eat here often?" Lina asked doubtfully.
"Of course, this is my favorite place" Roy replied with a smile.
"Before....who are you here with?" search Lina.
"Eichh... Why do you ask that?"
"I've heard that this restaurant is often visited by people who are dating?" asked Lina while narrowing her probing eyes.
"That's it....." Roy scratched his chin
"Owh yes I often come here with my school friends, exactly the restaurant here is the favorite of teenagers" explained Roy without feeling anything strange.
Lina nodded in understanding, the two of them finally went inside and ordered some food.
A few weeks ago, Lina had rejected Roy who tried to approach him, but Roy is not the type of person who gives up easily, especially if the challenge comes from a woman.
Roy always tried to approach Lina, not infrequently Roy visited Lina's house with his own wishes.
Roy's approach method is still relatively ordinary and old school, Lina had felt uncomfortable at the beginning but the unyielding attitude that Roy showed made Lina's heart interested.
Lina thinks Roy is a good man, although he still looks amateurish but the sincerity of his heart is clear from the way Roy treats Lina, Lina thinks it would be foolish to waste Roy.
they finally ate the dishes he had ordered earlier while chatting with each other
"I didn't think we were this close" Roy pleaded.
"meaning?" Lina frowned asking
"Yahhh, initially getting your heart is my dream, you could say this is a dream come true" Roy continued.
"ooooohhh yahh?" Lina smiled nodding slowly.
"Why do I want to ask you something?"
"Yahh. just ask"
"Why did you and your password break?" ask Roy
"Sorry Roy but I don't want to talk about the past" Lina seems reluctant to discuss the memories she's not wearing.
"Why is that, instead of telling me, we've already........" Roy did not continue.
"I feel that it doesn't matter" Lina stares at Roy, but Roy looks a little disappointed.
"Owh so yahh..." Roy breathed.
They were silent for a while until Lina reopened the conversation.
"So you really want to know?" Lina closed her face.
Roy was a little surprised to see Lina's face that close, her heart beating faster. Time seemed to stop for a moment Roy just this time saw the pretty face of Lina this close
'she was really my girlfriend, my God, so beautiful, and she smiled at me, her lips were as thin as red chili... owh's not what I think'
Roy stopped his daydream, his nervousness he could not cover.
"You why?" lina's voice seemed to end Roy's mind that began to wander.
"Ahhh no. Sorry I was a little sleepy" replied Roy reasoned.
"Yes I've assumed you don't really want to know" Lina pulled herself over.
"aaaaaa' If that's what I really want to know, I've been wanting to ask you for a long time"
"OK I'll tell you" Lina insisted.
"What's the answer?" Roy did not hide his curiosity
"To put it simply, I don't like men who live on the streets everyday, I know that if the cipher is a gang kid at school, the kids often talk negatively about it, I'm not comfortable with people like that" Lina explained.
"Owh so well... " Roy nodded in understanding not continuing his question.
"You don't want to ask anymore?"
"No. That's enough" Roy was a little agitated.
"in that case.. Now it's my turn to ask you?"
"What about the STM boys who broke the cipher a few weeks ago, they said they took your revenge?" ask Lina curiously.
"Ahhhhhh, it's not so"
"But you know them?"Lina asked back
"Well, I know them, but to join their gang I'm not like that" Roy assures
"But why are they defending you?"
"They were all old friends when our Junior High was so close, but now that I'm not with them anymore, I can say I'm not comfortable mingling with people like them"
"Roy.... You didn't answer my question, why did they defend you?" Lina was a little upset
"i don't know for sure, but maybe they still consider me as their brother, after all I used to help them, it's like about returning the favor" Roy tried to rationalize the reason
"So so.. okay.."
"You don't mind" asked Roy worriedly
"no. I don't mind it. Being friends with them isn't bad as long as you don't walk with them doing what they do".
"If you don't have to worry about it" Roy finally felt relieved, he felt nervous for a while but not anymore.
After lunch they finally went to the house of one of Lina's friends, this afternoon Lina had a group task to do.
Roy drove lina there.
After a few minutes they finally arrived.
Mila is seen waiting for Lina, before arriving there Lina has sent her a short message if she is close to Mila's house.
"Lina... did you get a message from Mr. Bayu?" Mila opened the conversation.
"No... What did Mr. Bayu say?"
"So he sent me a message. He asked for your HP number, he said there's something he wants to ask you"
"Owh yeah...." Lina checked the HP out of her pocket, but there was no sign of calls and messages
"doesn't seem to be there yet.what does he want to ask?"
"I don't know, but it's probably about our job anyway" Mila assumed.
Mr. Bayu is a teacher at NTT SMK school and also teaches in Lina and Mila's room.
The two of them start doing schoolwork, Roy is also with them and just waiting. After about two hours they stopped.
"To this day seems to be enough. tomorrow morning we just meet Mr. Bayu to ask that part"
"Yes you're right only at that point I'm a little less understanding, than we would be wrong we better ask" Lina pointed to the book.
"Owh yes.... Roy, tomorrow you're still taking Lina to school?" ask Mila.
"Yes of course" Roy glanced at Lina
"You should come early, so that Lina and I have more time to see Mr. Bayu"
"Yes, you can count on me Mila" Roy lifted his thumb with a smile.
Before they went home the three talked.
Mila suggests that if Roy should be able to be by Lina's side any time in the future Lina will be busy at the school event to prepare for the art stage next month, Lina happens to be taking part in the show.
"You certainly don't want to have someone else accompany Lina kan Roy" Mila seduced Roy.
"When you start...." Lina reprimanded Mila.
"I'm not talking nonsense..... Roy, you know not if there's a lot of school chasing Lina"
"I don't know.is it ready?"
"Don't hear what he said... Mila the person is like that he likes to talk nonsense" said Lina wanted to stop this discussion.
"oh Lina. or I tell Roy, be prepared - whoever sends me his regards" Mila laughed.
Hearing that Roy felt there was a threat, whether Mila was joking or serious, but it was only natural that many people were chasing after Lina, not only beautiful Lina was also popular in school.
"You're right Mila.
"Well, I'm waiting for your action"
Lina looked at them alternately, Lina was confused as to what they were talking about, especially the actions of Roy that Mila was referring to.
Lina began to invite Roy to drive her home because the day was also getting late, Mila had suggested to stay longer but they both refused.
