Home For My Soul

Hearing his name, I still did not recognize him. But I already knew which woman he meant. Meghan swore that she was sincerely friends with me. She was not the same as her brother who was such an insignificance. I hope so or I'll get her body removed.

That weekend I started by contacting Mama and Mommy. We shared stories of what we did in the past week. After conversing with them, Hercules took over to discuss his final task with me.

Matt did the same thing until Theo had to pick me up from the room for breakfast. Thankfully, she didn't force to break up the video call relationship. So, Matt can still discuss with me. Saturday morning was busy.

“You don't cook anything. I'll treat you to lunch.” I dried the last plate I had rinsed.

“What order?” tanyakanya.

“I understand why you're upset about Mike. You're the one who met the lecturer to show proof I'm a discussion group with them.”

“Women can't keep secrets.”

“Thank you very much, Theo.” I hugged him tightly. “I love, baby, love you!”

“You better release your hug before I hamili,” he said seriously.

“Theo! Can't you stop using that word!?” my protest was upset, spontaneously giving up my embrace. I definitely don't want to get pregnant anytime soon.

“Gue seriously. Don't you feel the same? Want to undress and end this wait right now?” He fanned his chest by tugging at the front of his shirt. “This room is suddenly hot. I need ice.” He's approaching the fridge.

“I'm more sure you want to marry me just to satisfy your nafsu, not because you want to be with me forever.” I crossed both hands in front of my chest.

“Gue has answered honestly. Yeah, that's one of them. You will also be addicted later if you have felt it once,” he said arrogantly.

I didn't tell the restaurant I chose for our lunch, but I'm sure he can already guess it looking at the path I took. He smiled happily knowing the place we were headed. As soon as he arrived, he took my hand, impatient to enter.

Turns out he had a reason. The place is crowded with visitors who also intend to have lunch. We didn't get a table, but there were still empty seats on the counter. We immediately approached him and mentioned our order. The waiter laughed a little.

We ordered the same thing as the first time we ate at the restaurant. A whole burger pack for me and pizza for Theo. I offered to add an order, she refused. So I ordered pumpkin pie to take home.

I took Theo around on a bike to burn calories from the food. He did not refuse, so I let him point the way. I didn't expect him to take me to his restaurant. We just passed by and didn't stop by.

“Again, Amaryllis.” Mike put his hand on my shoulder. “Tomorrow party at my house, you seriously do not want to attend?” He was still trying to persuade me.

“Keep your hands away from me,” I said firmly.

He doesn't care about it. “How about this? I invite Meghan too, you guys come together. No need to bring anything. Everything is available at my house.”

“I've also got a show, Mike. No, thank you.” Meghan was walking by my side.

“You two will regret, because I invited a famous artist to fill out the event.”

Meghan and I have not been persuaded by her offer. We entered the lecture hall and I let out an upset sigh as Robert sat on my left side. Meghan stood up and we swapped places so I sat by the window. That way, Mike and Robert didn't scramble anymore to sit near me.

I don't know what's wrong with those two. I obviously don't want to be close to them much less be friends with them. When we were a group, they were indifferent to him. Why did after I got out, they started acting? Is there anything they want from me?

“Say, Amaryllis. What should I do so that you will come to the party at my house?” Mike approached me who was unlocking the bike. “Is this how you reply to people who have helped you get value?”

Just be right. “Nothing, Mike. I really can't come. Anyway, I know it wasn't you talking to Professor Bateman about the value of my assignment.”

“Who's your boyfriend? He's definitely not more handsome than me.” He stood too close, but I did not back down to avoid him. His eyes fell on my lips. “I can be better than him.”

“My answer remains no.”

“Stay away from me, Stupid! I told you, I already have a girlfriend!” I left him grimacing in pain while holding his nose and between his thighs.

There are people not far from us. The men put on faces in pain as if feeling the pain, while the women laughed a little. I walk, then ride a bike, and pedal it. Today is really my fucking day. I don't want to have enemies.

I was not surprised to see Theo standing with both hands on his waist as I entered the apartment. My bodyguard must have complained about what happened. I hate it every time he's right. You crazy Mike. What does it mean to kiss me?

Just a few days ago I went to the dentist and tightened the wire. If he had kissed me tonight, I would not have slept. My front teeth are hurting for mercy. So, seeing Theo get angry doesn't help me at all.

“So, you will just shut up and not say anything?” ask her when we had dinner.

“What do you want me to say?” reply fierce.

“Sorry, for example.” He squinted his eyes. “Lo just relax every time he embraces, hugs, holds here and there, you oddball. Lo happy that someone likes you?”

“Who is relaxed? I have politely declined,” I said, defending myself. “I don't want to look for enemies, Theo. Solving problems with violence will only make it harder for me.”

“Depends on the person. Time you want to kiss new act. Ganjen lo, know not?”

“I'm not flirty! I told you I had a boyfriend. She's the one who's stubborn!”

“Try if I'm the one who hugged the girl, you get angry up to the sky! If I'm jealous, you protest too, think I'm weird. See, ‘kan? My word is right!”

“Yes, you are right. Everything's true. You are the most right. Satisfied!?”

We close our lips and glare at each other, then throw our faces away. Despite being upset, we still finished our food. After washing the dishes together, we went into each other's rooms. Of course without drama slamming the door. This apartment is not ours and we do not want to disturb the neighbors.

My heart was pounding very hard and my body was trembling with anger. So obnoxious. He just barely kissed me. Scant. I managed to hit him so that it did not happen, but still the pretentious Altheo Gunawan Husada, the handsome pretentious, had no feeling that was angry with me! It's good that he called me ganjen! I'm not flirty with Mike at all!

Let's just hope that brash guy can't walk tomorrow, let him know the taste. He's the one who did the bad thing, uh, I got the gum. Theo was furious and thought I was cheating, flirt. I have always been faithful and never flirted with others.

Tears were dripping down my cheeks, so I threw my body on the bed. I cried with my face on the pillow. I don't want that annoying arrogant Theo to know I'm sad like this. Bad guys like to win by themselves.

Jogging the next day, I chose to run in front. I don't want to see his face or his annoying back. Not his own sport, he followed me. Almost in the building, he elbowed me. Upset with that, I replied. He elbowed me again.

“Stop, Theo. I'm still mad!” I accelerated my run. He held my hand, then suddenly carried me. “What is this!? Lower me. You said, I'm heavy!”

“Weight because of the cheater,” he said.

“I'm not cheating.” I pinched his cheek.

“Jaga your distance from other men. I'm serious, Amarylis.” He looked at me sharply.

“OK,” I said slowly. Better to give up than fight and be a spectacle of people.

Arriving at the college the following week, I was astonished by the way people looked at me. They chuckled while talking to a friend by his side. What the hell's going on? Ah, maybe they're talking about what happened to me beating that stupid Mike. Remembering that, I got upset myself.

Entering the building, people were also doing the same. They watched me while whispering with the person next to them. Bizarrely. Why am I paying attention to people today? I wear polite clothes, the color does not collide. Then what happened?

“Amarily! Here!” call Meghan, wave her hand at me.

He was standing in front of the notice board, so I approached him. The people standing nearby turned their heads towards me. What are they looking at? I stood by Meghan's side and looked in the direction she looked. Oh, dearGod. So, this is what made me suddenly famous?
