Just Him

What is this taste?

Arumi was rubbing wind oil on her index finger, then brought her finger closer in front of Lais' nose. So that Lais can breathe in her scent.

And a few minutes later Lais woke up from her pretense.

Seeing Lais wake up, Arumi immediately walked towards the sofa. Playing on his phone, trying to assume that Lais does not exist.

"Uncle, is anyone sick?" Tanya Albi sat on the edge of the bed next to Lais.

"No. Uncle is fine" said Lais weakly.

"alright. Uncle can stay here. Please uncle clean up first" Albi ordered.

Arumi who heard that Lais was going to sleep with her was very surprised.

"Wait, Albi why don't you ask for approval from big brother first? " Tanya Arumi did not accept.

"Hmmm. Older brother. There are no more empty rooms in this hotel. So uncle has nowhere to spend the night today, pity uncle" replied Albi with her innocent face, which was adorable.

"Again uncle has also helped us make a beautiful sand castle, is not my brother said we should always be grateful to the people who have helped us" said Albi increasingly cornered Arumi.

Lais was amazed by Albi's cleverness that is easy to defeat Arumi in arguing, Albi looks so innocent and very kind.

Different from what Arumi caught.

She saw her sister say that.

"If this uncle can't stay here! I'll be mad at you!" That's what Albi actually said. But only Arumi understood that. Very clear from the look of the eyes given by Albi

"Huh! Your albis are very good at arguing. What are you planning, right? I know you very well! You won't be easy to take someone for granted without testing him" Inner Arumi was very upset.

Arumi is very upset about having to room with a stranger she just met.

The number of people they meet can be counted on the fingers.

While Lais is of course very happy, because the sister of a girl who was in his pursuit, very self-defense. And like her sister it likes the existence of Lais around her. Thought Lais was happy.

"Hah" Arumi let out a rough sigh. Trying to calm himself.

"alright. You can stay here but. " said Arumi deliberately hang his words.

"Yeees" Inner Lais.

" Receive... "

"Eets. Don't be happy, uncle. Listen well to my words!" Arumi. Who was about to break Lais' spirit.

"Uncle can stay here. But uncle has to sleep there!" Show Arumi on the couch.

"Ah oh hemm. Alright. Thank you" said Lais.

"Like him I can't be too hopeful"

Inner Lais glanced at Albi, who seemed to agree with Arumi's idea just now. And there's no intention of helping Lais anymore.

After Gamila's departure, Lionel chooses to reflect back on his true feelings.

Lionel standing on the balcony. Look at the sky that is the roof of London.

Repeatedly Lionel sighed, his mind raging.

Don't know what else Lionel wants to make sure about his feelings.

Actually was. When Gamila briefly kissed her lips earlier, it was very clear that she did not feel anything. But he brushed it all off, because Lionel remembered that since he was seven and Gamila was six. In their first meeting, and since then Lionel has often noticed Gamila.

Flashbacks

Seven-year-old little Lionel, not allowed to play outside the Danindra family residence. He did not even go to formal school like most other children. Because of an incident that made both Lionel's parents afraid to release Lionel for formal school.

And because of this, little Lionel loved to sneak out of the house through a secret hidden path, a secret path that he accidentally found.

Some day.

At that time with a very happy heart he went out of the house for the umpteenth time, without being known by anyone.

Danindra's family home coincides in an elite housing estate, in which there is a park. Little Lionel ran towards the park, which he frequented. Because in the park there are many children his age. Because the park is quite far from his house, Lionel is quite free. Because no one will know him.

With those little feet Lionel ran through the house that was often passed by his, the house that had been empty for a long time.

"It looks like the house already has people occupying it" muttered Lionel.

"Eh. I have to hurry! Later do not meet with friends who are there if it is too late" he exclaimed back running.

Lionel's little legs paused for a moment because of the sound. Dog voice.

Woof!

Woof!

Woof!

The sound of dogs barking loudly. Like chasing Lionel.

Lionel who heard the sound of the dog, looked back. Then speed up his small steps.

The dog barked again.

Lionel was very frightened at this moment. Lionel looked back again, not knowing that there was a large enough stone in front of him. That'll be tripping Lionel's legs

Bruuch!

Lionel fell both knees hurt. Little Liionel could no longer run. And there were some small wounds in his other place. She cried. Closing her eyes with both palms. Hope there's a hero who will help her, when the dog gets closer.

"Ghighi, stop" The sound of a girl screaming stopped the dog. Exactly two steps the adult dog was in front of Lionel.

Heard a voice that stopped the dog. Lionel opened his eyes. The first time it was seen was a little girl in a grown man's arms. Maybe the little girl's father.

The little girl came down from her father's arms and approached the dog.

"Ghighi. Don't be naughty okay! It's sitting!" His orders.

After that he approached Lionel who was still crying.

"Are you okay?" Ask the little girl to Lionel.

Lionel did not answer the girl's question. Lionel looked at the girl, then tried to stop her crying.

Flashback off

Lionel chuckled to himself given his first meeting with Gamila. A very chaotic and embarrassing first meeting.

Since then it was Lionel, often times to pay attention to Gamila. What else Gamila became his friend, because of neighbors.

From that moment on Lionel felt his admiration for Gamila.

"wait. Awe? Have my feelings been limited to awe? " Inner Lionel.

When the first meeting was Lionel was still very small, a little boy who did not know or distinguish what is like? Amazed? Even love.

Is it just because of that I get used to liking her?

Because he laid off his dog, Ghighi didn't come after me anymore.

Lionel pensive. His mind is getting more confused.

Did when she introduced Kenzo as her boyfriend, I feel jealous?

Lionel recalls his time with Gamila. Remembering how he felt when he was alone with Gamila alone. When Gamila introduced Kenzo.

Not meet.

Lionel didn't find her. He did not remember how he felt at that moment.

"Is it true that I'm just getting used to liking her, for helping me? "

"Is it true that this is just a feeling of admiration? "

"What is this taste? "

"Is it true I don't... Loved her? "
