Jum Wo Ai Ni

Chapter 35

"If I?"

"Huh? What's?" A startled Arumi immediately raised her head, looking at Max with widened eyes and an open mouth. It looks so cute in Max's eyes.

"Do you like me Arumi?" repeat Max with a hopeful look at Arumi.

The narrow-eyed handsome man was extremely nervous, there was fear infiltrating his heart. Afraid that the idol would reject her love, this is the first time Max has expressed feelings for a girl, who is so cold and always keeps her distance from the opposite sex. Unable to resist the charm of a hypnotizing Arumi, not because of the pretty face of the girl. Arumi was no prettier than the girls who tried to get close to her on campus, but in Max Arumi's eyes was a goddess drop from the sky, soft as cotton and warm as the morning sun.

Max's breath choked, as if oxygen did not want to enter the man's lungs, inversely proportional to the hyperactive heart as if it wanted to jump out of place. The wind that blows breezy tonight feels so piercing contributing to the anxiety that makes his chest hurt.

"Su-suka Kak," replied Arumi stuttered, her heart racing too fast until it felt like jumping out of place. The girl immediately lowered her head hiding the red hue on her father's face.

Max smiled widely, feeling so relieved, as if a huge rock he had just lifted from his chest. Max got up from his seat. Walking closer to Arumi, the girl could see to the end of Max's shoes now standing by his side.

Arumi's eyes widened as Max squirmed, resting on one knee that was bent to the ground. Arumi immediately turned her seat to face Max, with fear she threw a glance around.

"What did you do?!" Pekik Arumi was surprised, he continued to look around to make sure no one was looking.

One burly hand Max clasped tightly onto Arumi's fearless hand without reason. While the other hand reached into the pocket, took out a small red panda.

"Arumi Nadya, will you be my lover?"

Instantly Arumi stiffened, he who was still staring in the other direction immediately turned his head. Staring at the shady eyes that were staring at him fixedly. The girl who was just starting to rearrange her life linked the two eyebrows.

Wonder, doubt, fear, worry, all the feelings are mixed in Arumi. It all feels so unreal, it's just a dream. Yes only in a dream can all this happen, who is he. Only a girl who has lost her honor and lives in a rich man's house, there is no way Max wants to make Arumi a lover. He's too inappropriate for that.

"What do you mean, Brother Max, please stand up. What if someone sees Brother kneeling like this, they will misunderstand," Arumi looked at Max with a clear feeling of fear that was very much on his face.

"Misunderstand what? Why misunderstand?"

"Come on, stand up, I beg you!" Not answering Max's question, Arumi actually stood up and pulled the hand of the man who was resting in front of him.

Max did not move even a little though Arumi exerted all his energy. The man just kept quiet, and looked in wonder at Arumi. Shouldn't this be their romantic moment, not even a fight attraction like this. Tired, Arumi finally gave up, he shifted the chair he was sitting in and gathered in front of Max.

"Why are you here?" Max keeps the red panda back in his pocket.

"Yes, Brother Max does not want to stand up," replied Arumi with his sweet lips.

"G ... It hurts!" Strangles Arumi, as Max pinches Arumi's nose.

"You know why I did all this. Take a romantic dinner with your favorite food, sit down like this. You know why?" Max asked as he clasped Arumi's hand.

Arumi. " I know Brother."

Lirih Arumi said, but still heard by Max. The man smiled, his burly fingers removed the haircut that covered the beautiful face of the idol.

"If you know why,-"

Arumi's plump eyes feel hot and start to fog. Of course Arumi knows why Max did all this, especially when Max asked if Arumi wanted to be the boyfriend of the man. Like the erupting Mount Semeru, the warm pulses and hot incandescent lava radiated through the nerves of the girl's body, exploding like thousands of fireworks lit up in the night sky, but all of that was just an instant. Arumi's harmony reveals who he is, and who Max is, they are like heaven and earth that cannot possibly merge.

Arumi realizes who she is. He is not a person worthy and worth it to Max, desperately Arumi tries to kill the taste that began to grow because from the very beginning they met. It is not an easy thing for Arumi to do that, every day having to endure the pain of cutting, force the branch of love by force. Bleeding, trying to smile and act ordinary. The sweet girl always reassured herself, if Max's attention to her is the love of a brother to a sister, nothing more.

Both of Max's hands were covered on Arum's cheeks, a warm and gentle kiss landing on Arumi's bangs-covered forehead.

"I love you Arumi. What you are, I love you. Are you willing to reciprocate this?"

It wasn't the word that answered Max's question, but rather a strand of clear crystal that washed over the earth. Max fused their eyebrows together, allowing Arumi to spill the flavor that was in his heart.

"You evil brother, how can I live after this. I-I tried not to cultivate that feeling, but you said it so easily, instead" Arumi said between tears.

With his index finger Max slightly raised Arumi's face that had been wet by tears. He gently wiped the salt water.

"Why don't you let that taste grow? Is it because I don't deserve to have it?"

Arumi quickly shook her head. "How come? Not like that, you're too perfect for me. I'm just an ordinary girl, I don't want to expect too much about us. You're so perfect, brother, I'm not a girl who deserves to walk by your side."

Max's clear eyes were so fixed to look at Max, there was a love so big that it made Arumi drown.

"I decide who deserves me, there's no woman as perfect as you are for me, Arumi" Max said.

"I don't deserve Brother, I'm dirty" said Arumi.

"Here's where look." Max inserts Arumi's hair behind his ears, looking at Arumi's face and body closely.

"I don't see anything dirty, I just see a pretty girl that I love so much" Max said with a smile.

Arumi turned her face away, powerless to hold back Max's loving eyes.

"Listen Arumi, I'm not forcing you to accept my love, but I'm going to die,-"

Arumi covered Max's mouth with both hands. Max smiles behind Arumi's hand, he lowers the fingers slowly.

"So how am I accepted?" Max asked with a slight bend of his neck sideways.

Arumi nodded slowly.

"Accepted or not?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Max smiled widely, as soon as he hugged Arumi's body tightly. Drowning that pretty face in her chest that field.

"Why is it so hard to make you say yes" complained Max.
