Choosing Love !?!?
Friends....
Alex arranges his hometown's signature sandwich and fry into a disposable aluminum lunchbox. He deliberately prepared provisions for Ben and his friends as greetings introductions because today he attended their fishing event.
Ben comes to pick up with a beautiful blonde woman named Bethany. Ben said, 3 more people will follow to the lake where fishing. They had to stop by first to buy bait.
Alex sits in the back seat while Ben and Bethany are in the front. He was silent because he did not know what topics to use as chat material. Want to chat with Ben also seems to not be able to, because Alex does not know the relationship of two people in front. Fearing that they are lovers, it can be wrong if Alex only talks to Ben.
"Why keep quiet Lex, rich face again in pursuit of debt collectors. Relax a little, we want to have fun," said Ben broke the weirdness.
"You're an early semester Economics Management major, aren't you?" ask Bethany about Alex.
"Yes, how do you know?"
"I've seen you when I brought my sister's book that I missed. My brother's in a generation with you his name is Brian" Bethany explained.
"Oh yeah, I deserve to have seen you, your faces look alike."
"Hahaha That's right, are you also one of the girls chasing after her on campus? Can I help you two?"
Her sister Bethany does have a face that can not be revealed, she is too handsome to look beautiful and her bad boy attitude instead makes the girls pursue her want to be a lover, she said, sometimes it's just for a date.
" Do not mess around to match people, if he already has what it is" said Ben.
"Just relax, why are you the sewot, not Lex," Bethany said. Alex just grinned the horse can't say what.
The lake where the fishing they went to was really a beautiful place, because they left early in the morning to get there still seen a thin fog enveloped. The grass and wildflowers feel wet from the morning dew. From close can be seen small rocks on the edge of the lake because the water is clear.
There were already a few other visitors arriving there before them, fortunately only a few. Maybe it will continue to grow, but at least they have got a good place to roll out mats and tarpaulin roofs for where they sit.
"Whatever else when it comes anyway, I can't wait," grumbled Bethany took her fishing rod out of the trunk of the car after the mat and tent were ready.
"Patience, another moment also came. I rented a canoe first yes, let's not run out later" said Ben.
"Lex, you go with Ben there and look around" Bethany told me.
Alex then ran over to Ben. It turns out that not far from the lake there is a canoe rental place that also sells a variety of food and drinks.
Ben rented 2 canoes that can be climbed by 2 people.
" It's not the total of the six of us, why rent only 2 canoes?" ask Alex.
"Yes can not all go fishing to the middle of the lake, there must still be someone who keeps our goods on land" said Ben.
Upon returning from renting a canoe, the second group arrived at the location. Anthony, Fred and Leslie. At first Alex thought Leslie was a man, because of her pinched hair and also the clothes she was wearing. But when Leslie opens her mouth her meek voice overpowers her tomboyish appearance.
"Darling to be marked, otherwise I will too... Ouch!!!" fred shouted stroking his rear axe because it was hit by a paddle held by Ben.
"I'm sorry unintentionally, so don't stand carelessly," said Ben smiling thinly, from his expression seen if he accidentally hit Fred's head with a paddle.
Leslie lends one of her fishing rods to Alex. At first Alex refused because his fishing rod looks expensive like a fishing rod for professional anglers, but because Leslie forced Alex finally received the fishing rod on loan to him. Then Fred taught Alex to attach live cricket bait to the hook eye and also taught him how to throw the correct fishing line.
"Nih Lex wear, we will go fishing to the middle of the lake using a canoe," said Ben while handing a life jacket to Alex who is practicing the position of throwing a fishing rod with Fred.
"Keep guarding here who. I'm fine on land, anyway I'm not good at fishing," said Alex not tasty because maybe others also want to go to the middle of the lake.
"No matter what Lex goes, me and Leslie are guarding here. We have often been to the middle of the lake. Anyway you must like it," Bethany said.
"Originally do not get the water so cold in the morning" continued Leslie.
Alex sits at the front of the canoe holding his fishing line and Ben, leaving Ben sitting in the back rowing his canoe into the middle of the lake. Anthony and Fred rode the other canoe. They were both rowing while their fishing rods were tucked in the back, he was between his back and life jacket.
They paddled the fog that looked mysterious but beautiful. The sound of water splashed by the paddle made the mood calm. Alex dipped his hand in the lake and the water was ice cold.
After finding a good location they threw their fishing hooks. Alex received a standing ovation from his three new friends when he successfully threw his first fishing line. Although it can not be said to be successful, at least Alex did not damage his loan fishing line. The atmosphere was calm and quiet again, and they waited for the fish to eat their bait.
As the sun begins to shine, Ben and the others decide to return to the shores of the Lake. Of the four only Alex did not get a single fish. Even Leslie and Bethany who were fishing on the shores of the Lake alone managed to fish.
Anthony put all the fish caught in a bucket and took it to a canoe rental place, because they also sold cleaning services. While waiting for the fish to finish in cleaning the embers of the fire was prepared by others.
Alex used this opportunity to offer his handmade provisions to others. In an instant, Alex's supplies ran out unceremoniously assaulted by everything.
"Make it up Lex!!" say the other one and then everyone laughs
"Lex ask for your facebook or stargram yes, let me tag the photo with you" said Bethany.
"Send to group chat only, because I don't have a sosmed account at all," Alex said.
All are amazed because in this era only now they meet people who do not have a sosmed account at all.
Since breaking up with Chris, indeed Alex did not activate his social media account because he did not want Chris to know the news through social media.
During his life in the region Alex sends his photos to his family and friends through a chat app.
Satisfied today Alex passed his vacation, despite feeling tired and his skin a little shabby but he got experience and new friends.
After contacting the house person and replying to the chat of his friends who are far away there Alex chose to sleep after bathing.
*********
Since the fishing event Beth and Leslie quite often looking for Alex to just eat lunch during a break on the sidelines of college hours. Beth even sometimes forces her sister Brian to join her. It turns out his intention to compete Alex with his sister is not just a joke.
It's better to have a sister-in-law who's clipped with her than a stranger who can't necessarily get along with her, that's the reason Bethany gave her.
Alex himself is acting ordinary because neither he nor Brian are interested in each other. Brian is handsome, but Alex does not like his attitude that always considers a relationship is just a game. While Brian is not interested in Alex because he thinks Alex is too serious to be used as entertainment. Tomorrow's weekend of Tourism Management majors holding a bazaar on campus, Alex and his fishing group plan to attend the bazaar together.
They will gather in Alex's apartment because it is closest to the campus. From there they'll leave in Ben's car.
"Lex went to college, right? Let's go get some clothes for the bazaar tomorrow," asked Amel.
"Can, let's go now then" Alex said.
Tomorrow the others had agreed to wear maroon-colored clothes, and Alex did not have any maroon-colored clothes.
"I've seen lately that you've been hanging out with seniors from my department, Bethany and Leslie" Amel said.
"Yes, we're going to go to the bazaar tomorrow, too" said Alex.
"Where do you know them?"
"There are fishing rhymes continue to turn out they are also a fishing group, from there we often gather together anyway."
"Well, I can not tomorrow also join you to the bazaar together," pinta Amel.
"Soalah I don't have a friend that I can take together, he wants to take you, uh it turns out you already have someone invited," reason Amel.
"I asked them first yes, because I was also invited so it's not good to play with you without telling them," replied Alex.
"Okay, ask now dong, because the show tomorrow so not much time anymore," said Amel impatiently.
Alex then sends a message to his chat group. Fortunately they did not mind, because Alex would feel bad if until Amel's request was rejected.
" Thank you Lex, I'm glad I'm not going alone tomorrow. Eh try this blue dress richly suitable for you to wear bazzar tomorrow,"
"I'm looking for a maroon because the others tomorrow are also wearing maroons."
"Why don't you say, tomorrow I'll come with you too. I had the wrong costume" said Amel in a less than pleasant tone.
"It's not that, I mean you're not in a fishing group, so I think it's okay if you want to wear another color shirt," explained Alex felt bad.
...Alex is quick to feel guilty or sorry for others. He is often even more concerned and prioritizes the interests of others than himself. Alex knew he had to change his nature, but it wasn't easy because it stuck with him a long time ago....
Amel chose a short maroon-colored strap-sleeved dress with a low chest cut. Alex himself chose a maroon top and a dark blue knee-length pencil skirt. Plain top looks front, the back is open in the form of an isosceles triangle, and has a large ribbon as a unifier of the left and right.
