Amel hugged Alex as soon as the door opened.
"I'll definitely be in college as gossip material. Surely Malika will complain no-no to others" Amel's cerocos in between her tears.
Alex who did not understand the problem of taking Amel to the living room sofa. Ryan handed Alex a glass of water to give to Amel.
" Nih drink first to calm down. "said Alex handed a glass that was immediately in the throat was exhausted by Amel.
" It's all just a misunderstanding, Roy and I have nothing. It was just a coincidence that it could cause misunderstandings. But it wasn't all my fault, and even if Roy really had a crush on me, I still couldn't be blamed. I am a person who can control everyone's feelings. "Amel is back babbling. Even longer than before, it seemed like the glass of water had refreshed his throat so that now he spoke faster and smoother.
Alex glanced at Ryan who gave the code if he wanted to go home, because he didn't want to interfere. Amel seemed unaware of Ryan's presence there, or he was lazy to say hello and just wanted to talk to Alex.
Feeling bad, but also unable to hold Ryan back from staying and hearing his friend's chatter, Alex simply nodded with an unwell smile, at what happened.
"The story is clear, who are Malika and Roy? You think I'm a census officer who knows everybody" Alex said.
Amel, who was no longer crying, told me everything. Malika is a classmate and one of her majors, and Roy is Malika's boyfriend who is in another major and 2 levels above them. So Malika and 5 other students were doing group work at Amel's house. It was the last day and to celebrate the completion of the task they had to do for almost a month, they went to the cafe for a drink and a casual chat. It just so happened that Roy joined because he was going to pick up Malika. So the time at Cafe Amel excuse me to go to the toilet, and the toilet is located behind the building, and must come out the front door. So Amel has to turn.
When about to return to the Cafe, Amel cross paths with Roy in the parking lot of visitors located next to the building (to the toilet must pass through the parking lot). At that time Roy said he wanted to smoke because in the cafe it was forbidden to smoke. Roy could not light his match because the wind blew quite strong. Finally Amel took the initiative to help by trying to block the wind with the pouch he was carrying and their position became very close. It was then that Malika suddenly appeared and misunderstood, shouting cursing and yelling at the two of them to attract the attention of the people there.
"I don't want everyone to gather to see me, yes I've gone straight away, just clear Roy. Really males. Just make the behavior of Malika earlier," said Amel upset, he was no longer crying.
"Yes later if the Malika has calmed down just apologize. In part why you are also a good betty to wind people who are smoking cigarettes," said Alex.
Indeed Amel was very quickly familiar with men. His style that can be said that the centil likes to hold here and there Alex memorized. At first he also felt uncomfortable seeing Amel who used to hold, or tend to his new-known male friends, but for a long time he got used to it, anyway the men did not protest, but instead looked happy, so why he was uncomfortable himself.
"I don't want to apologize, it's just delicious. I'm not wrong anything. He's the one who has to apologize for making me ashamed to say the no" protested Amel rejecting Alex's suggestion.
"Yes, whatever you want. You are also big, you can make your own decisions," said Alex resigned.
"Eat yuk, laper nih. I cooked the fried rice," Alex asked who had been holding back the hunger from earlier.
"Why cook a lot, do you have a feeling that I will come?" guess Amel while evenly dividing fried rice in the pan into 2 dishes while Alex makes sweet iced tea.
"So cook with Ryan and initially want to call you after finishing cooking. Eh the idea came alone."
"Where did Ryan go?" amel asked to take one more plate for Ryan.
"Basic, just did not see if he went because you cry while crying. He had brought it down for a while so there was no need to be ready again."
"I really didn't realize that there was Ryan, I called him here again." Amel grabs her phone to call Ryan.
Somehow Alex felt reluctant to bring them both together. Mila's words ringed back in her ears.
How happy Alex is to be back in her part-time routine. Although this month his salary got cut because of a week off. In addition, he has also set his heart to no longer play hide-and-seek if for example he heard the news Chris is in this city. After thinking why he should also be afraid to meet, did he not decide to start a new story even far abroad.
"Finally after waiting until the moss, so I was treated too" joked Ben as he downed a bottle of beer.
"I'm sorry, because I have to wait until payday first" Alex said laughing.
"I asked for a beer basket. For me one bottle is also quite original to see you," Ben began to launch his fight even though the one he spoke to from earlier chatting while back and forth serving guests.
The plan is tonight Alex will accept Ben's invitation if he is invited to the apartment. What his friends said was true. He could not continue to resist and make the relationship between the two of them uncertain.
But the name of the plan can be smooth and can also fail. Amel suddenly appears when Alex's working hours stay a while longer. He sits down at Ben's table, and at home he invites Ben and Alex to go and have a drink at the nearby nightclub.
Indeed, since the news of him being called the actor circulating on the campus Amel became more and more often follow Alex. Though now his classmate was back friendly with his girlfriend, but skewed rumors about Amel are still circulating.
The person concerned himself with the rumors and still refused to apologize because he said he was not wrong. Amel kept acting as usual as if he didn't know about gossip about himself. That night she came to Alex's apartment crying. The people on campus whispered behind him and Amel kept chatting and making friends as usual with them. He said later they were bored and forgot about the rumor. They still act ordinary in front of him.
Because Amel was so drunk he inevitably took her home to his apartment, because it was impossible to drive her home this early at dawn in such circumstances. Let Amel alone explain to his parents tomorrow as his consciousness recovers. The three of them went home in a taxi, headed to Alex's place and then the driver drove Ben. Although his consciousness is still there, Alex does not want to take the risk and talk about Ben driving because he is also a bit drunk.
"Be careful, send a message if you can after arriving" Alex said from the front window of the car.
The person he spoke to smiled and landed a kiss on Alex's cheek before the taxi continued. Either Ben wanted to kiss Alex's lips and get drunk so he landed on his cheek or the purpose of the landing was on Alex's cheek did not know.
"What a celebration there is, until this hour just come home, drunk again."
How shocked Alex was to hear a familiar voice from behind.
Ryan swiftly joined Amel's increasingly difficult to walk properly.
Haah!? When was Ryan there? Did he see the incident? What about this, what if Ryan misunderstands and thinks he and Ben are dating? Just now that he and Ryan were familiar again after a one-sided misunderstanding had occurred, there was now another misunderstanding. Alex was the only person who was not drunk during the drinking event that hit the elevator door because his mind was busy digesting what was going on.
Ryan just drove up to the door of the apartment and left the two of them on the grounds of continuing jogging.
After laying Amel on Alex's bed, he took a bath because the smell of cigarettes stuck in his body. He could not stop thinking about the incident. Why didn't Ryan ask her, surely I'll gladly explain this misunderstanding.
When I suddenly said that the kiss was nothing, we were just friends, and he didn't ask. It would even be strange. If Ryan says it's none of his business, put it where my face is. Inner Alex.
Just yesterday the day after we went to watch together, now it has to happen like this. Alex tries to close his eyes to sleep.
