Choosing Love !?!?

That night....

The view on the balcony seemed dim and as far as the eye could see only the darkness of the forest at night. Queen Hotel itself is located on the edge of the cliff so indeed as far as the eye can see there are only trees. Hotel Queen has long worked with the local government in preserving the forest and the animals that live in it, because the green expanse is the main attraction of guests at the hotel. Moreover, the infinity pool located on the edge of the hill makes the school as if the guests are swimming in the wilderness.

Alex doesn't know how to behave, right now he's just alone with Chris enjoying the dark forest. The hustle and bustle of the party sound was not so audible from the outside, but he could see inside through the thin white curtains that stretched along the glass walls of the balcony. Many of them took to the dance floor and danced as if there were no burdens. Some people prefer to sit in the audience or chat. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the party.

"Do you want to go back inside?" ask Chris.

Alex is actually just trying to busy himself so clumsy that he keeps his eyes inward, because on the other side it is too dark so there is nothing to see.

"Thank you, Nayla told me about the incident at dinner last night, "said Alex looked at Chris and he just realized that their hands were still holding.

"I'm just telling the truth. I'm sorry I should have acted sooner, so you weren't tortured by them, " said Chris, pulling Alex's hand slowly, which he had held so that they were now facing a very close distance.

"It's okay, they're not torturing me. This is just a misunderstanding, "said Alex raised his head staring at Chris' face. Although with heels, his height was only up to that of a man in front of him.

"May I hug you? I miss you so much." Chris chose to ask first even though he was eager to hug Alex tightly.

Alex did not answer Chris' question, he just turned his face to look at the dark forest.

Chris wrapped his arms around Alex's waist and placed his chin on Alex's left shoulder. She did not hug tightly for fear that it would scare Alex away like that night. Even this time the front of their bodies did not touch at all.

"I haven't answered, " said Alex. It was as if a happy outburst had been ejected from his body and he wanted Chris to hug him even tighter, but why was there still a sense of doubt left behind, and it was very difficult for his mouth to answer the question when clearly he wanted to be embraced.

"I didn't hug you. It's not the way I hug people I love, you know that, " Chris replied, he's happy enough because Alex isn't trying to get away from him. "So can't you?" ask her again.

"Just hug, can't the other, "threatened Alex pretentious.

Chris who heard Alex's words immediately tightened his embrace. His hands that had just hung cross-legged behind Alex's waist were now perfectly circular and raised Alex's tiny body so that the position of their eyes were parallel to the eyes of the girl in front of him full of love.

The next incident was really very surprising, Alex cursed himself for what he had done. Somehow at first Alex's hand that had been holding on to Chris' shoulder because his leg no longer touched the floor when Chris raised it turned to Chris's face and his face reflexively approached landed a soft kiss. Chris who was a little shocked let his little girl master the situation. Actually, he almost replied to the attack, but he held back because he wanted to make Alex feel comfortable and not feel intimidated. To control himself Chris just tightened his embrace.

Lipstick that was supposed to be waterproof and hold eighteen hours on Alex's lips has now moved. His eyes widened in shock as soon as he became aware of what had happened and instantly his face turned a crimson red. He asked to be put down.

"Hey where you're going." Chris catches Alex's arm holding him running in. "It looks like you have to tidy up your makeup a little bit before getting in. Sedikiiiit alone, " continued Chris while moving his index finger twisting on his own lips which now looks bright orange coral.

Alex closed his eyes with a hand that was free from Chris' grasp. She was so embarrassed." Don't laugh! " threatened, but hearing that Chris laughed out loud. Alex immediately glared and put on a sullen look.

"Do I need to get a towel or tissue?" chris asked, still holding back the laughter.

"Get me my bag, I put it in the locker of the ballroom entrance, " pinta Alex handed him a small golden plate numbered 13 tied to the same elastic band that hung around like a bracelet on his wrist. "This is the locker number."

"Wait a minute." Call Alex when Chris is about to leave. Alex approached and rubbed Chris' lips with his hand removing the remaining lipstick still on his lips.

As Chris passed away Alex yelled and snapped his own head at the stupidity he was doing. Why his brain and heart are never in sync when dealing with Chris, that's how he complains to himself. How else does it seem like his heart has been tied and fell in love with Chris as if he was ready to give everything he had to the man, but his brain was always thinking more clearly about the possible consequences and almost everything seemed not so pleasant.

Chris came with a red handbag in his hand.

"Nobody saw you with my bag, right?" ask Alex to panic.

"How about it, I held it up this high and then I walked around like a model" joked Chris who immediately made Alex's eyes widen. "Just calm down I kept it behind my coat. Why anyway, don't listen to people."

Alex then took the wet tissue and powder from his bag and removed his lipstick that was strewn everywhere.

'KRIIIIINNNGGGG KRIIIIINNNGGG' Alex's phone rang. Nayla's name is on the phone screen.

" Hello Nay, "Alex answered Nayla's call.

"Still feeling at home on the balcony?. No cold, uh forget there's a warm-up, "kiss Nayla.

Alex is shocked by how Nayla knows where and with whom she is. It was obvious that everyone didn't seem to be paying attention to them, "Know where we are on the balcony?"

"The wall here has Lex's eyes. How, want to go home now with me or in another anther. Some of the kids went home too."

"Wait for me." Alex's speech stopped because Chris grabbed his phone.

Indeed, this man sometimes looks firmly authoritative and scary, but sometimes it can be funny as well as teenagers.

" What was that, on the same date? " Alex took back his phone.

" Oh, so you didn't want to account for what you did to me?" chris smiled, looking at Alex's embarrassed expression. "Have kissed me like that still don't want to make me your girlfriend?"

"Continue about a month ago you shot me and we went on a date that's not his name?" said Alex trying to eliminate his embarrassment, because he did not want to be teased continues by Chris.

"It's only been a day so that I've been dumped for over a month, I don't think it falls into the category of being made."

"Nob alone isn't included, have kissed me all day as well." Alex hits the chest of Chris' field, and when the second punch is about to land, Chris grabs him and pulls Alex into his arms. This time Alex hugged Chris. Although his mind is still filled with doubts, but it cannot be denied that he loves Chris and feels very happy at this time.

Let the problems that will arise later in the day be of later business, which is important when he is happy. That's how Alex thinks.

Chris deliberately drove his car slowly so that he could be with Alex longer. Actually he wanted to drive Alex home and greet Alex's family, because he had long since told her without news, but Alex forbade her and asked Chris to drop her off at the front gate of the house only.

Although according to Chris it was not polite because he drove Alex home when it was night and he knew the family of Alex, but because Alex asked him to obey. This is their second date after a month apart due to misunderstanding. He doesn't want to mess it up again.

Along the way they talked at length about life for the past month. This time all explained well because their mood was flowery, unlike when in the minimarket that night.

Alex also did not forget to ask Chris to be patient because he could not go through dating like the women Chris dated before him, and Chris agreed to Alex's request. The one thing that made Alex doubtful was resolved already. Indeed, it seems that he must be more courageous to express his heart, rather than running away crying without explanation and eventually causing misunderstanding.

Arriving in front of the house Chris kissed Alex's lips gently before exiting his car. He still wants to be with his little girl, but that's okay, anyway tomorrow they will meet again because Alex will be off for the next two days. And he'll accompany Alex through his day off.

"Where's Lho Nayla?" ask the mother when she sees her daughter coming home with a face of sumringah.

"Alex in between Chris Bu, the problem is that Nayla's house will be different directions ma'am."

"Chris has returned from abroad?, how come you didn't stop by?" this time it was Andre who asked.

"Udah malem Kak, tomorrow only he said. Say hello, he made all. Alex go in first yeah, sleepy."

Her family just exchanged lyrics behind Alex when she walked into the room. They knew there must have been a problem between Alex and Chris and the trip out of the country was just an excuse, but they chose to pretend not to know. Alex wouldn't tell her stories as long as she felt she could solve her own problems. He'll only tell his best friend, and Alex's family knows Ratna and Stefi well. They knew if the problem was severe then the two boys would report to them.

"Tuh Ndre your sister already has a love story, when do you?" satirical Father.

"Why am I the one who was attacked" protested Andre welcomed laughter by his parents.

*****

Alex feels really bad explaining everything to Ryan, but it's all for the good of everyone. He has to tell Ryan first before he tells Stefi and Ratna everything, because after all he appreciates Ryan's feelings for him.

"I'm sorry again." Alex looked at Ryan guiltily.

"Hey doesn't have to feel guilty, you didn't do me any wrong Alex. From the beginning you have been with him and I am willing to express your feelings when you have problems," said Ryan tough, even though his heart ached to pieces, he said, the secret love he had been quieting for a long time was completely gone.

" Don't be awkward, now we're friends." Ryan ruffled Alex's hair, and eventually Alex smiled again.

" Open your mouth, this is a congratulation for the return of love in my best friend's heart." Ryan feeds Alex his favorite dark chocolate ice cream.

"Alright and this is from me, as a thank you for not leaving me after rejecting you," Alex turns to feed Ryan.

They laughed merrily unaware that across the shop a man had been watching them with a look of anger.
