75|Photos Friendly

He forbade me from being close to other men, but what was he doing there? Hugging Chika. Can't she stay away from that girl? Why did he not push his body to fall? Let him pick her up and not touch her body again.

If in the photo they embrace, how else do they pose to the photo that I can't see? Don't-don't, they're kissing. If that were true, I would never forgive Theo. I took good care of myself as long as he was far away, how could he not do the same?

Whenever there was a picture of me with her, people would always label me as her affair. But not a photo on my post or Theo, but in the online media that took it secretly. We never posted any photos of our togetherness.

“Do not think excessively, Brother. The picture is not as bad as the one in Big Brother's head,” entertain Matt. “Gue forbids not because the photo is more friendly, but to keep the heart of Brother. Too often seeing photos that are not true will cause suspicion.

“Theo is not cheating. All he always thinks about is Brother,”. He didn't need to tell me about it, Theo already said it.

“Anyone who sees the photo will think otherwise,” I said, quibbling.

“That's the impression Chika wants to give to all her friends and followers.” He pointed his phone screen at me. I was surprised to see Theo's face there. “Lo can't be angry. I'm the same brother Amarylis and you have to give him an explanation.”

“What explanation?” tanyanya. “Lo slander me?”

“Who is slandering you? Indeed the fact lo hug with Chika there,” said Matt.

“Nah, that's slander. Who hugged him?” his protest. “Honey, don't believe in anything my sister says. He likes to lie.”

“Oh. After a fight with your sister, you just remembered there is me also here.” I was actually happy to be able to look him in the face again, but my anger this time won.

Just looking at that one photo already pissed me off with it, especially if I looked at the other photo. The happy face of Chika who was attaching her body to Theo could not get out of my head. I should have been the only one who could get that close to her.

Theo at this moment might not have any feelings for him. But if they continue to meet and be together, it could be that his heart will turn to Chika. It is not impossible that love will grow along with their frequent together. Because that's what we're experiencing, too.

“Do not get angry. I was avoiding someone when Matt called me. If he finds out where I am, my efforts will be in vain,” he said.

“Chika you mean? It's also nice for you to vacation together with him in Bali,”, I said, not covering up my anger anymore.

“We did not vacation together,” error. He looked to his right. “Sorry, I have to go. I'll call you later, yeah. Bye, darling.” He gave me a kiss.

His face vanished replaced with a message display between Matt and his brother. I sighed softly. At least, he's honest. His eyes did not lie when he mentioned about Chika, also from the way he looked around like he was avoiding someone.

“Dih, wear kiss everything. Can't she think of my feelings?” matt protests while pointing his phone screen back at him.

“Everything, don't delay anymore. Quickly express love.” I sneered back, and he laughed.

Matt drove me home, but I couldn't sleep right away. The picture I saw was disturbing. My former student was right again. If I look at all the photos that Chika posted, I myself will be difficult and start thinking no-no about Theo.

I couldn't sleep because I thought about her being with her while out of town. I know Om Azarya was there too, but why did Chika go to Bali? As far as I know, he's finishing his script. Doesn't he care if he's already in the eighth semester?

Theo also did not keep his promise. He said he'd call me. Why did I wait until after midnight, he didn't call? Did he forget about me for spending time with his parents' chosen fiancee?

“Good morning,” greet someone who makes me jump in surprise.

I just came out of the yard when he said hello. Seeing her rare smile, I don't feel happy considering what she did last night. So, I closed the fence and put the padlock back on, then turned around.

“Wah, someone is angry,” god while aligning his steps with me.

“If you can't keep up, more don't promise,” my protest, don't hide my anger.

“Gue gets home already midnight, baby. I don't want to disturb rest or learn lo.” He put his hand in front of me so I had to stop. “Do not get angry.”

“I waited until you called me. If it doesn't, why not send a message?” I looked away when I felt my eyes heat up. I don't want her to see me cry anymore. “What does that even you can't?”

“I'm sorry.” He came closer, and hugged my body. “That photo means nothing, dear. I don't touch him or anything you think. It was just a trick from the point of taking photos. No, yes, don't cry. I don't like to see you sad.”

“I told you, our relationship will not work. You never want to believe,”.

“Stop, Kat. I don't like to talk about that anymore. Every time there is a problem, you talk like this?” He tightened his embrace. “Please, don't talk break up again.”

“You are out of town every weekend, what else is the name if not your parents plan to separate us?” Even though she hugged me so tightly, I didn't do the same. Both my hands are on both sides of my body.

“Let them try to separate us. Don't be weak like this. You have to be strong. I also try to be strong in our chosen path. Don't give up, Amarylis,” please.

I was so full of hearing it that I no longer held back my cries and hugged her tightly. It is not that I give up, but that I learn to accept that there are circumstances that cannot be changed. As hard as I try. Learning to be an Amaryllis was one of my most valuable life lessons. There are situations I cannot change, including our relationship.

No matter how he changes me, my status remains the same. I am the son of the poor, not of a distinguished family with a lot of money. His parents were hereditary rich people. How could they possibly want their ultimate heir to marry a poor girl like me?

Even though he had come to explain everything, I realized that my guess was correct. Want to see when he survives our situation, I don't know. His parents will never change their minds. But I did not until the heart asked to break up again from him.

Not married, we have faced so many challenges. Restu his parents, Chika's efforts to get his heart, plus the ridicule from others who call me his mistress. I was his real girlfriend.

“Gue left, yes,” parted after we were in front of the campus gate. I'm nodding. “Do not think of bad things. Concentration on lo.” proposal

“Iya. Careful,” I said while holding the doorknob.

“Kat,” call it.

I am weakest every time he calls me by my real name. “Ya?” I turned my head and immediately closed my eyes seeing her face so close.

He kissed my lips. Not a short kiss, but he expressed longing and unfortunately through the kiss. He pulled my body in his arms. I couldn't help but feel the same way I had for her, so I didn't reject her or stay away from her.

I took off the doorknob and hugged him. He persuaded, so I returned the kiss. I can't shed any more tears. Why does this kiss feel like a farewell?
