Love Blocks the Past

Chapter 7 ~ Memories ~

Mikho was fixated on staring at Celine and the other sispala members who were starting to continue their journey. Celine looked so excited and happy to walk with the children while talking and laughing but actually the girl felt bad. 

Seeing Mikho's worries until the man's sudden behavior hugged him. Celine's heart became unsettled. However, already, the girl could not retreat anymore just because of Mikho's attitude that felt strange to her. Celine immediately dismissed the notion that Mikho liked her.

Does he really like me? If so when? Until she found out that I was the girl she insulted when she was in sixth grade. After that he will come back to insult me, making my days as miserable as ever. Because he doesn't recognize me so he's good to me when he remembers he's gonna change. But why can't you remember? Hmm, maybe because he really hates me, after all I can remember him of course because of my heartache. He who does not care about his words must easily forget me, Celine inner.

The girl decided to forget about Mikho, while she wanted to enjoy her journey up the mountain. Sispala's children, whom she had known a lot, were kind to her. Patiently they waited if Celine felt exhausted. Those who have become accustomed to climbing are like walking leisurely without looking tired.

They were like Celine's bodyguards, patiently waiting for the princess to be able to continue climbing. Sometimes Celine feels bad, but they. However, they encouraged Celine and continued to encourage her.

Without feeling the fourteen-hour journey was over. Departing at seven in the morning after breakfast, they were finally able to reach the peak at nine in the evening. Soon the children of the sispala set up tents to protect themselves from the night wind. Celine looked at the scene from the top of the mountain with a feeling of admiration.

However, for some reason, looking at that beautiful natural scene Celine remembered Mikho instead. Celine's sense of pride that was able to reach upwards was as if making the girl miss Mikho. I just want to be proud of that man.

Try him out, he'll know that I'm capable of reaching this peak. Too underestimated me anyway, so excessive worry, inner Celine smiled.

A moment later the girl was stunned given Mikho's worry which felt excessive in her opinion. It was undeniable that Mikho's worry made his heart stir, but given the nature of the man who indeed had a high social spirit, Celine again felt that what Mikho did was a natural thing.

That night Celine was happy, taking photos of the natural scenery from that height. Celine's efforts were not in vain after walking fourteen hours by passing the four licensing posts. All can be paid off with a beautiful view behind it.

Unlike Celine who was happy, Mikho was still worried. It was clearly seen by Tiara. After dinner and a gathering together. Tiara met the man who was just sitting pensively. Tiara knew the man was feeling unsettled.

"Still worried?" tanya Tiara teased Mikho's solitude.

"Oh, no! Who's worried?" ask Mikho back.

"Are you worried about Celine or the sispala?" tiara asked unconcerned about Mikho's reply earlier.

The man fell silent, though admitted not to worry but clearly Tiara did not believe him. Asked like that Mikho was a bit confused choosing.

"Worried about Celine and the sispala kids, right?" tiara asked who finally answered her own question.

Tiara smiled looking at the handsome man beside her that. "Worrying about Celine for fear that she won't be able to reach the top and worrying about sispala's children just in case they have bad intentions for Celine" Tiara said.

Mikho turned his head towards Tiara because what he was afraid of was guessed by the girl.

"I helped you answer? Hopefully a little less of your worry. Actually I am also worried but since I know a little bit about them I am .. not as worried as you are," Tiara said with a smile turning her head towards Mikho.

The man was also looking at her. I can't wait to hear Tiara's answer. He also wanted to get an answer that could make his heart calm down.

"Celine's my best friend since Junior High, I've known her character. Although the person is sweet and innocent he is a hard-hearted person. What we don't think he can do, he can succeed as long as he has the determination" Tiara explained.

"Is that?" mikho asked as if he was lacking in trust.

The man looked down. "His nature is so ugly, so hard-hearted? What good is that?" mikho asked as if muttering to himself.

But you still like him, don't you? 

Mikho did not answer because he had never doubted anyone. The man only thinks in his heart.

If it's anyone else I won't care, but it's Celine. She ... is very sweet. Talking to him, my mind often drifted uncontrollably, what about those sispala guys? Were they able to resist seeing the beautiful girl by their side all day, Mikho's inner.

"You like it, don't you?" ask Tiara.

The question that made Mikho very surprised. If asked like that of course Mikho does not have the answer because despite feeling like but he himself is not so sure.

"I don't know, he ... behind this .. disturbed my mind. Maybe because of his attitude and his reckless decision to oppose me. I just felt afraid that something might happen to him precisely because of me," Mikho replied hesitantly.

"Why aren't you sure you like it?" ask Tiara.

Mikho turned his head in shock at Tiara, the girl seemed to know just what she was feeling.

"I ... already .. have someone in my heart. She was my first love. I'm not sure anyone can shift his position in my heart but .. get to know Celine. Make me ... can forget my first love a little bit" Mikho replied.

Apparently this is why he has never been seen dating any girl. He has someone in his heart. It is only fitting that if he behaves normally to the girls in our school, it turns out that there is already something filling his heart, inner Tiara.

"Why your first love? Did you guys break up?" tiara asked curiously.

"No! We were never made. She's a girl from my past. I just realized that I liked it after we split up" Mikho said.

"Oh, until now you've never met again?" ask Tiara.

Mikho shook his head. "That's what I regret, why did my feelings arise confidently after she couldn't be seen again" explained Mikho.

"Why not see him?" ask Tiara.

"Because we split up and I don't know where to look. My feelings are still tied to him. Though it appeared so long ago, I just don't even remember her face–"

"What's? You ... love someone who even you yourself have forgotten his face? Then ... what keeps you from loving her?" tiara asked in surprise.

"Our memories! We had bad memories but turned out to be beautiful when we had parted ways" Mikho said.

"Bad memories turned into good memories?" tiara didn't understand.

Mikho nodded. Silent. They are busy with their own thoughts. Mikho who returned to reminisce about his good times and Tiara who tried to examine what the handsome man told him.

The next day everything went as usual. Mikho and the participants in the boarding house carried out activities on schedule. Two nights had passed, and Mikho shuddered in wait, for this night Celine should be back. When everyone was having fun, Mikho was just pensive.

"Mik! Help us! Celine's missing."

Suddenly came and surprised all the tourist participants in the boarding school. That fourth night Mikho saw some of the children who had returned and immediately sprawled in the middle of their show and Celine was nowhere to be seen between them.
