Don't Say You're Not Important To Me

At the same time, Gavin actually came to the house of Kalea. After parking his car in the courtyard of Kalea's house and reaching for a large paper bag containing the care of Mother, Gavin got out of his car. He was immediately greeted by Mama who ran towards him with a smile that grew perfectly. The woman stretches out her arms, welcomes him into a hug and Gavin happily complies.

Another case with Kalea who actually stood still at the entrance. Leaning his shoulders on the side of the door while his hands were crossed and the gaze of his eyes floated far out of nowhere, which was clearly not at all fixed on him.

Gavin smiled after Mama let go of his embrace. Just according to when Mama was poking at his lantern, taking him walking closer towards Kalea who this time seemed to glance cynically at him.

Gavin was used to finding those cynical glances now. So when Kalea turned around and walked away from her when she got to the door and was about to say hello, Gavin only chuckled lightly.

"Obviously, it's near the red date so be a little sensitive son." Said Mama giving too much information to her son-in-law's candidate.

"It's ok. Gavin is used to Kalea's spoiled fashion." Reply Gavin with a smile that is still on its back.

Hearing Gavin's reply, Mama chuckled. "Yaudah, there you persuaded her to stop lashing." Said Mama while patting her back slowly.

Gavin. He immediately walked in. Greeting Bi Imah at a glance when they met in the living room, where the woman was wiping the table and some dusty furniture.

Gavin kept going. Passing through the middle room and kitchen, until finally arrived at the rear doorway. He paused, shaking his head slowly when he found Kalea squatting in front of the fish pond. Surprisingly, even though only from behind, but Gavin seemed to be able to see that the woman was now frowning and funny about many things.

After looking at Kalea's narrow back, Gavin continued in his footsteps. He immediately crouched down next to Kalea, making the woman who seemed unaware of his presence squeak in shock and immediately threw him a sharp look.

"Ngagetin! Assalamualaikum first cake!" kalea's Omelette.

But Gavin only responded with a simple sentence that successfully made the thin lips that were pouting tightly. He said, "We're Christians, Kalea."

Having nothing else to say, Kalea chose to remain silent. In order to distract him from Gavin who never drew a glance, Kalea grabbed the fish feed near his feet and threw it into the pond, which she did, making a group of koi fish that originally swam quietly in unison moves brutally towards the feed floating on the water. The sound of a lizard resulting from the brutal movements of the fish managed to spur the heartbeat of Kalea to be faster. He becomes nervous for no reason, especially with the fact that Gavin still keeps looking at him when he occasionally glances from the tail of the eye.

"Why are you here?" her question was cynical after not being strong enough to withstand the suffocating silence.

"Meet you."

Only a long oh came out in response. Then silence returned to power for a long time.

Curious about what Gavin was doing because the man beside him was completely silent, Kalea ventured to look over. Only to be made to freeze as his eyes caught the dark bead of Gavin who was staring at him so closely.

Kalea did not answer. Actually, he didn't know what to respond to Gavin's words with. Because it is true, Gavin is very talented to make him upset. Indeed, countless more how much he was annoyed by Gavin, although in the end the man managed to persuade him and they went back to make up.

So after a long pause, Kalea finally found something for her to say, even though it did not answer Gavin's question just now. With a slow voice and a straight forward gaze at the swarm of fish still fighting over food, he said. "Hape you're with me." That made Gavin exhale heavily.

"Why should you not be upset anymore?" ask Gavin. His gaze is still not separated from Kalea who now plays fish feed in the bottle.

"Hape is in my room. Hold on, I'll take it first."

"Kal," Gavin restrained Kalea's arm that was about to rise from her seat. The woman finally turned her head. Their gazes met, and Kalea felt something strange creeping up on her chest as she felt Gavin's long fingers slipping between her fingers and their fingers clinging to each other.

"I want to take the hape, Gavin." Kalea said while trying to untie their fingers. But in vain because Gavin did not give a chance for him to escape. The man even tightened his grip.

"Don't like to run away if there's a problem." Gavin spoke in a soft voice, his eyes fixed on Kalea's bead, making the owner freeze in place with a feeling that was difficult to translate.

"You better be angry with me, reveal all that is stuck in your mind than you keep trying to avoid being like this." Kalea felt the back of her hand being rubbed gently by Gavin using her other hand that was not tied to hers. For a moment the man lowered his head, took a deep breath before exhaling it slowly and looked back at him. "I don't mind your nagging. Even if you want to curse me with harsh words, I will listen. As long as it can help you show me what you're feeling, I'll happily listen."

"I've said a lot, but you still don't want to do what I want." This time, Kalea managed to pull her hand from Gavin's grasp. There was a clear disappointment emanating in both of Gavin's dark eyes when their hand links finally came off. It made Kalea feel a little guilty, but her bad mood triggered her to shake off the guilt all the way.

Kalea then rose. With a rash movement to clean his shorts that had been hit by a fish feed spill. It felt enough, he turned to Gavin who had now come to stand looming before him. He stared at the dark bead with courage, but if you can be honest, the dark bead was one of his weaknesses at this time. There was always a tightness that crept up to his chest whenever their gazes met in the moment they were getting into this kind of trouble. No matter how trivial the problem, Kalea always felt it was painful.

"I'm just asking you to tell me whenever you get home after we meet." Kalea was desperately trying to keep nailing Gavin. As strong as he can withstand the tightness that slowly feels more and more torturous. "But many times I say, many times you don't do."

Kalea gave a short pause before resuming her words. Now with a gaze that shifted in the other direction, he made a sound again. "Make me something that's pretty simple and easy to do. But it seems, my one request seems excessive." After saying that, Kalea looked back at Gavin. "Maybe because I'm not that important to you?"

"No." Gavin shook his head hard. What is not important? Gavin even spent a dozen years thinking about Kalea and how to meet her again. Kalea's words just now made absolutely no sense. "Please, don't say that."

"The reality is so, Gavin." Kalea Sela. Ignoring Gavin's glaring gaze, Kalea turned around. Before stepping away, he turned to Gavin just to say, "I'll take the hape, you wait in front." Then it passed just like that from the front of Gavin who could only peck in place with a chest that felt sore.
