127|Do not get angry

He's really mad. I wasn't cheating. Just have lunch together as a thank you. After all, there were many other students around us. Uh, he's acting like Mike and I had a romantic candlelight dinner in an enclosed space.

We jogged, he just kept quiet. We went back to the apartment, he didn't say a word in the elevator either. I really don't like this cold war. Although he originally did not say much, this silence was clearly out of anger.

“Aw!” shaken surprised. “Amarilis, what do you do?”

“I'm tired.” I perched on his back like a panda hugging a tree. “Load me.”

“Lo has boarded recently request permission. Don't you realize you're heavy?” his weakness.

“What weight? You easily carried me a few days ago.” I tightened my embrace as she tried to let go of my hand hook.

“Troubles only.” He gave up and took me on his back to our apartment.

“Do not get angry again, dear. I'm not cheating. It was just lunch as a thank you. Mike helped me talk to the lecturer. So, I got a grade on our group assignment,” I said, explaining. “We only eat, no more. After all, he was just busy discussing himself.”

“Stay with cheating.” He opened the apartment door and asked me to come down. I don't want to let go of my embrace. “Quick, down. I have to leave quickly today.”

“I'm sorry first.” I'm still perched on his back.

He did not say anything, but continued walking towards his room. He didn't do what I thought, ‘kan? There's no way she's going to the bathroom with me still on her back. But that's what he did, walking to the bathroom and getting ready to take his pants off.

“Wait! Wait, I'm out!” I immediately loosened my arms and slumped down onto the floor. “You are really annoying. Whatever, if you want to be angry continue!”

He's correct. I promised I wouldn't be alone with men, instead breaking them. Were it not for that selfish Nora, none of this would have happened. Thing is, I'm so grateful for Mike's help, there was no other purpose to that lunch.

We had breakfast in silence. She didn't want to see me at all and I could only grow angry at her selfish behavior. When will he be angry like this? But when she kissed me on my forehead in the lobby, I smiled happily. He's not angry anymore.

Meghan is a really good friend. He greeted me kindly and took me to sit with him. As he said, our old friend did not like him. They whispered to each other while looking at him, definitely being ridiculed by his physique.

Bizarrely. How could I not have known they were doing this to a friend of ours? What have I been doing for the past few months? I was in that position once. So, I can understand Meghan's low self-esteem. The poor woman.

Bad people are everywhere. Not everyone likes to be fat. But there are those who do not have time to pay attention to their weight because of certain circumstances. Where there are people who are not minded with the condition of his body that is prone to disease.

“Thank you, Amarylis. I'm suffering from thyroid disease, because it's my weight. After college, I plan to start a healthy diet. I also don't want to die young from obesity.” He smiled after hearing my advice.

“Hopefully heal quickly, Meghan. I've been fat, so I can share.”

“You ever fat?” tanyanya did not believe. I'm nodding. “Wow. Does that mean your skin is saggy under your shirt?”

“No. I lowered it slowly, not to the extreme. So, my skin gets used to it whenever my weight goes down.” I'm laughing a little. I did some research before I started my weight loss program so I wouldn't overspend afterwards.

He nodded in understanding. “I'll try. Because I have a friend whose tip reached very deep for the sake of surgery to remove the saggy skin.”

“Hai, the girls!” greet Mike who is standing in front of us. “I'm sorry, Meghan, I only brought one flower.” He gave me a rose. “Happy Valentine’s Day!”

I put my face away and pushed the flower back to her. “Give it to others. Sorry, I already have a girlfriend.”

“Ouch!” seduce Meghan. “Mike has never been rejected by any woman. How's it feel?”

“Amarilis is only selling expensive because there is you here,” reply Mike. “This is no ordinary flower. This is an invitation to attend a party at my house on spring break later.”

“No, thank you. I already have another show,” reject me again. “Again, I do not want to attend an event that is not attended by my best friend.” I wrapped my hand around Meghan's arm and took her to the library.

Theo was preparing dinner when I got home that night. I hugged him from behind, making sure he wasn't angry with me anymore. He patted my hand gently without stopping stirring the sauce.

“Gue too. Quickly, clean yourself. Dinner is almost ready.”

“OK!” seruku.

I rushed to the room, then to the bathroom. After changing clothes, I checked myself in front of the mirror. Then I saw something on the bed. I looked around, making sure I didn't see it wrong. It's reality. I wasn't dreaming.

There was a red rose and a box of chocolates on the bed. I took him with me out of the room. The room was dark and only the candles on the dining table were illuminated. Theo stood by me, took my hand, and led me to the kitchen.

“Gue don't know why you girls like to eat with candlelight alone. Hope you like.” He opened my chair for me.

“Whatever you do, I like!” happy say.

“Happy Valentin Day, dear.” He peeped my cheek. “Gue don't know what your favorite chocolate is. The waiter at the supermarket said, girls love the brand, so I bought it.”

“I like any brand.” I smiled happily.

“Lo happy or lost for words?” taunted. I didn't let her words ruin my mood. “Come, we eat.”

He cooks fancy food. Baked meat with its sauce, smooth potatoes, steamed vegetables, and apple pie - which I'm sure he bought as a cover. We told each other about our day, and I was glad there was no incident with a man who provoked his anger.

We continued that night by sitting on the sofa by the window. He made me some warm chocolate with a lot of marshmallows. We enjoyed it while watching the city view. If only time had stopped and we could have kept this up. I will be satisfied with my life.

Meghan and I took our assignments to the lecturer's room that afternoon. Since he was the one who submitted the paper earlier, I intended to replace it, but he refused. So we went together to face our lecturer.

The woman greeted us kindly and accepted our duty. She asked a few questions, Meghan answered. He checked the contents of the paper, then looked at me. She smiled meaningfully making Meghan and me exchange glances.

“You should take good care of your girlfriend, Amarylis. Rarely does a man want to say he's lucky to have his woman.” He put the paper on the table, then opened his glasses. “Moreover come show proof that you deserve the value.”

“What does that mean, Prof?” many confused.

“He showed proof of your video one group with your old group. Therefore, I knew Nora had made a mistake. Ah, she must have kept this from you, yes.” She laughs. “Okay, Theo could be mad at me. He was furious, just silent. I prefer it.”

“So, it wasn't Mike who came explaining me and them one group?” manyu, confirm.

“She came a few days after your boyfriend. I don't know why no one defended you sooner. You two compete healthy. Do not stab a friend in the back. I'm no longer young to witness such competition.” He looked at me and Meghan.

Excuse me before you leave the room. So, Mike lied to me? The insolent man. I got into a fight with Theo because I bought him lunch. It turned out that he was not the one who tried to keep me getting my grades.

“Theo is what Professor Bateman means, Altheo Husada, the owner of the Indonesian cuisine restaurant, yes? Senior in our department?” meghan asked after we were in the bike parking lot.

“Iya. You know him?” many surprised.

He shook his head slowly. “His name is often called my sister. You have to be careful, because your rivals are heavy.” He looked at me with sympathy.

“What do you mean?” my question, don't understand. “What is your brother?”

"Sheel, carry, carry!"

"Amariliiss~ Lo the araatt~"
