Emotion Taster
Arc 2 Banquet: Chapter 13 - Where Your Eyes Are
No, it's very clear this is no coincidence. If this happened in the early hours of the return may still be natural, but now the school conditions are almost quiet and the main thing is Fany has seen you waiting here.
“OK, Ian. I get straight to the point,” I said by affirming. “You are disturbing, your own existence is disgusting.”
“...”
I could feel it, a wave of emotion vibrating. Septian was slightly offended by that, his expression of a jerked face for a moment was also another proof.
“Ya-ya .., that's ‘kan just you, Van. Fany doesn't matter if I'm on the road with.”
But, Septian responded with half a joke. Like a fellow male friend's insults, he tried to avoid deep feelings of sharp speech.
“Hmn ...”
“...”
“...”
He!?
Fany did not answer. The girl docked behind my body to hide from the direct gaze of Septian who was trying to get close. I was a little surprised by the waves of emotion that constricted her fear, but the touch of the hand that she did on the fibers of the clothes was what kept my chest racing.
I looked back to find out Amalia's condition.
Damn .. why does it always end this way.
The girl was far away from where I was standing. It seemed like he had already run and hid by the side of the gate to escape this conversation, leaving me and Fany both facing Septian.
*Whoush ....
In the middle of my hindsight, I felt a new wave of emotions.
“Woi ... what is this? Why is Fany so close to you, Van?” septian said with a heavy tone.
Spicy ..., and also bitter. Septian who was previously offended by my words started to let out negative emotions. Threats started to come out of his mouth.
“It's a reasonable reaction ... he's just scared of you, Ian.”
“Takut ...? No, that's not possible. Fany has received an invitation to watch together this week, now she is afraid of me.”
That's the truth, I can feel it clearly.
“Ah .. I know, you are now ngincer Fany, ‘kan?” septian asked me.
“No, where did that conclusion come from?”
“Don't be stupid, Van. I know how you did in first grade. You often help people let you like them, ‘kan? Let you play with all those girls, ‘kan? Honestly, it actually makes all men also hate you.”
“Ha!? Who is stupid? Helping people is natural, it has nothing to do with this. Your stupidity is more visible when connecting it to that incident.”
Dug, drug ....
My chest's racing. My whole mouth began to feel the heat and heat spreading. Waves of Septian emotions continued to coagulate affecting my body.
*srek.
Septian pulled the collar of my shirt, his shorter body was not enough to lift the grip upwards.
“Stupid? So, you said I was stupid?”
“Iya, I will continue if you do not stop confessing this ridiculous thing.”
“...”
Septian began to harden his hands, his expression feeling so heavy. He showed his face and teeth growling at him.
“Kaivan,” call Septian in a cold tone. “Can you stay away from Fany?”
“I'll stay away if you stay away.”
“Not you know how I feel now!? ”
“I know ...”
“Then why!? What does our chat mean then!?”
Septian snapped back, he gripped me even stronger through the scream.
“Hah ...” I breathe casually cooling the atmosphere. “It is true I know your feelings now ..., but that does not mean you can freely take refuge from it.”
I do appreciate people who fight hard for their goals and dreams. Those who go ahead without seeing failure and negative possibilities, never stop looking ahead.
But, this is different. Love is something more complicated, involving not one person but two people. Cannot see one parameter, but must adjust two players. The wrong thing if there is a person who forces his partner to run fast beyond his ability. Each individual has their own limits.
This time ... Septian did that. Full push over Fany's body and pay no heed to the injuries the girl was going through. Take cover from the word love to continue doing what he believes in.
“What you know ... Fany was a school in a special place for women,” continued, I told Septian.
“Yeah, I know ... I've known from a long time ago.”
Ck.
I clicked my tongue, took a deep breath to be ready to let out.
*Plack.
My slap put away Septian's hand from earlier clutching the collar of the shirt.
“Then why until now you are still blind!?” yell at him. “Do you know? Until now Fany is still afraid, she's a new girl, she's a girl who never faced the same guy ..“.
“... I-if it was .. I, I already knew it.”
Tidak knew?
“It turns out you were stupid ...”
“Ha-huh? What does it mean?”
“Stupid is stupid ... in accordance with the words earlier,” I said in a condescending tone. “Do you realize that Fany has been restless all this time? She still thinks about your feelings that might hurt if she rejects you.”
“Ta-but, she received my invitation, ‘kan?”
“Are you deaf? He's been thinking about you all along, appreciating the effort and love you give. But .., you are forcing your own feelings. Pushing Fany too hard and keep saying it's proof of love.”
*srek.
This time I gripped the collar of the Septian shirt, advancing one step closer until Fany was left behind.
“Where have your eyes been all this time, ha!? Where is the feeling you are feeling!? Have you ever thought how she feels now!? What you do is not love, it is just egoism.”
“...”
Septian's face froze to see me say that sentence. My position was as close as it was close enough that my hand was threatening him, but I did not feel the spicy taste. His mind had been cleared of anger and hatred.
“Kaivan ...,” call him in a calm tone. “Lepasin ...”
“...”
I did not feel any threat, therefore I obeyed his words. I am still superior to the physical. Coupled with the detection ability, I was able to immediately figure out his movements.
“...”
“...”
“...”
The three of us were suddenly silent. The atmosphere became awkward due to the sudden outburst of emotions. Something that was done for about two minutes was simply tidying up the clothes.
“...”
Septian started glancing towards Fany, the girl was still pensively speechless looking at this condition.
“Fany,” call Septian from a distance. “If it's true what Ivan says is the same, I'm sorry .. Sunday's appointment just assume it never existed. I will cool my head first,” he said as he walked away from me.
Now I feel a wave of negative emotions from both of them. It's like a heavy burden and guilt. Fany and Septian have still not resolved the main issue of the case.
Huh ....
It turns out that to stop a man like Septian takes a lot of power. But, is that the right decision. Whose side am I on?
