Punishment

“Alice?” call Rian to make sure that someone is sitting in front of his room.

The girl looked up and turned her head, her eyes round seeing Rian standing not far from her. Alice shifted her seat as Rian was about to sit there.

“Why haven't you slept, hm?” asked Rian gently, in his heart still cursed at his actions earlier.

“Still not sleepy, Mas,” replied Alice softly.

Rian frowned, he felt if something happened to this girl. The man was obscuring this entire pretty face beside him. Alice turned her head when she felt that someone had been watching her since.

“What's up?” alice asked, frowning her forehead.

“Al, you are beautiful. Surely someone who managed to get you later will be very lucky,” replied Rian smiling.

Alice held her breath looking at Rian's charming smile. His heart was worried, since then the girl thought about his departure. Time kept going and it seemed like someone had managed to hold him back to stay.

However, there was a sense of anxiety if Alice remained here. It was the past that Alice blames. A very dark past for the beautiful girl. Only Fia knows how Alice struggles with the past. Rian still persisted with his sweet smile. The late night and the quiet hospital atmosphere accompanied the two men.

“Al, Mama asked us to get married,” said Rian finally after gathering all his courage.

I don't know why the man felt so nervous saying it, even though he was not applying formally. Then what if Rian actually proposed to Alice with a romantic feel and a bunch of flowers? Maybe the guy has fainted so much.

“What?” alice asked with a surprised expression.

“Mama has her request and request that we get married,” explained Rian gently.

“Don't joke, Mas! Marriage is not a joke. Mas Rian also knows that Alice is leaving soon,” said Alice.

Rian's face was clouded. “Can't you stay, Al?”

“Alice too scared to stay.”

“I promise I'll always be next to you, Al. Always keep you company and take care of you. What else are you afraid of?”

“Alice's past was too scary,” muttered Alice with a blank look.

Flashback…

A few years ago, when Alice was in high school. Alice has a lover, they dated from the eleventh grade until now they are almost on their way to graduation. There was no problem as long as they were in a relationship, Alice was very happy back then. Until Alice decides to go to college at her choice and different from the choice of the lover, their relationship begins to be troubled. But Alice still survives, because Satria –lover name Alice– still shows his attention.

“Where are you from, Al? Why just came home?” ask Satria who was waiting for Alice's return in front of the girl's boarding room.

“Sorry, didn't tell you. My phone ran out of batteray, I was busy with group work with friends,” explained Alice with a frightened look at Satria with a cold face.

Satria exhaled. “Have eaten?”

Alice shook her head slowly, making Satria smile. Finally, the man invited his girlfriend to dinner.

Alice frowned as it turned out Satria took her to the man's apartment. Actually Alice has often been in and out of the man's apartment. But Alice thought Satria was going to take her out to eat. Satria got out of the car and opened the door for Alice, the girl smilingly being done so sweetly by the man. The two of them walked together towards Satria's apartment unit.

“Come in! I miss your cooking, Al,” Satria said with a sweet smile.

Alice chuckles at Satria's wish. He put down his bag and prepared to cook. While Satria watched the lover from the dining table.

“You want me to help?” tawar Satria's.

“No need, you just watch me from there,” replied Alice smiling.

Satria laughed crisply, tonight feels wonderful for two pairs of Adam's children. It didn't take long for Alice's cooking to mature. The smell of fragrance invoked Satria's sense of smell.

Alice laughed at Satria's praise, but who would have thought her heart was pounding. He sat down in front of Satria and enjoyed dinner with Satria. The laughter of the night was heard throughout the room.

“Al, don't you want to move campus? Let us get one campus,” Satria said between their meals.

“No way, Honey. I don't have any fees.”.

“You don't need to think about the cost. I take care of everything.”

Alice was silent at the words of her lover. Satria is indeed the son of a rich man, his father an official and his mother a businessman. However, Satria's parents are very kind to her, Alice has met several times.

After dinner, Alice and Satria watch a movie. Let the task wait for later, Alice thought at the time. Alice dropped her head on Satria's field chest, while the man kissed Alice's top of the head in dismay. However, their eyes were both focused on the television screen in front.

“OK, I want to move campus,” said Alice finally, since consciously so still thinking about the consequences that will be obtained.

Satria smiled happily at the decision her lover made. “Good, I'll take care of everything. Thank you, baby.”

The man tightened his embrace on Alice, while Alice just laughed at the behavior of the lover who felt anxious to her. But in her heart, Alice prayed that this decision was right.

“You've got aja, huh?” satria asked when the movie they were watching was over.

“I don't bring a change of clothes,” replied Alice scowling.

Already not one time Alice stayed at Satria's apartment, she often stayed overnight. Even Satria had once invited her to live together, but Alice still restricted herself from living with the heathen. Until now, the invitation to marry has never been thrown out of the man's mouth. Never mind getting married, even the invitation to get engaged has never been uttered Satria.

“You can wear my shirt, Al.”

“Hmm, okay.”

Alice had changed with Satria's oversized t-shirt on the body, now they were lying on the man's spacious mattress. Alice's hand played the chest of Satria's field, forming an abstract pattern there. While Satria's hand rubbed Alice's back gently, going up and down rhythmically like she was putting a baby to sleep.

“Besok you lecture morning?” ask Alice.

“Hmm,” murmured Satria felt comfortable by Alice's mannerisms.

“Tomorrow can pick me up?”

Satria opened her eyes and frowned. “Where are you going?”

“You are looking for items for Bu Dita.” tasks

Satria hugged Alice tightly. “Sorry, tomorrow I can't.”

“Nothing. Tomorrow I can go with Adi,” Alice said in a muffled voice.

Satria let go of their embrace and looked at Alice, while Alice frowned and looked up to see the handsome face of her lover.

“Tomorrow I'll drive you, but after my business is done.”

Alice shakes. “If you're busy it's okay.”

THE CUP!

Satria kissed Alice's pink lip lightning. “I don't like to be denied or you want to get punishment from me.”

Alice snorted and only nodded in understanding. He thought Satria's punishment was nonsense, but Alice was wrong.
