James entered the meeting room with a riled face, he walked with a face without a smile and sat down near Kent. Before long the head of the department came which means the meeting will start soon.
"Your face looks like you've seen a ghost" Kent whispered with a laugh, James was visibly riled up.
"Foul, and the ghost is your brother" James' voice sounded furious. Kent slipping.
"Huh ... Al see you again?" kent's whispering voice was almost inaudible. James didn't see Kent, his face held back in anger.
"Aliiice, Alice, reckless as she is," Kent actually held back a laugh.
"According to his name, it is thought that this wonderland is most, living up to his rules," James opened his blocknote shortly after the meeting began.

A week later, from the last May and James to the orthopedic doctor, May's condition has really improved, armsling is not used only May still have to be careful, elbow injuries do not necessarily heal, merta healed, need extra care so as not to get worse.
***
This afternoon May went down the campus alone after attending lectures from Kent, she rushed home because she was going to work on assignments from Kent.
"May, Meisyaa," Mei turned her head as Kent's voice loudly called out to her. Meisya waited for Kent who ran up to her.
"What's wrong Kent?" tanyanya.
"Here, if you need a book for my assignment," Kent gave me some books in May. Mei smiled happily.
"Thank you, I'll give it back soon after you've done your job" Mei said, stuffing Kent's book in her bag.
"Keeeent," came a very loud cry, Kent and Meisya turned their heads, Kent laughed widely and Mei frowned. Seen a woman with a faded overalls, boots, and loose overalls on one of them, her long-sleeved shirt looks a bit dirty. After getting closer he gave Kent a medium-size box.
"Give it to the one-horned rhino" he told Kent. And Kent looked to be frowning.
"Oh yes Meisya, introduce, this is my sister, Alice and this is Al, my student, Meisya," Kent introduced the two and they were seen shaking hands, Mei grimacing in pain because Alice's grip was a bit hard on her hand.
"I am Kent first, thank you, I go home first Alice," said Meisya softly and passed from before them.
"This what?" ask Kent to Alice.
"The rhino's face, make it to him, from me," Alice said casually. Kent slipping.
"You're crazy, you can beat him Al" Kent said.
"If you give Kent, you're also the one who took a picture of him to me via mobile phone right, come on help me," said Alice and she turned to look sharply to one side.
"They were very familiar Al, James was very crazy about the woman, it was a pity that she was getting married soon, and I was also one of the sick men to hear that she was getting married," Kent and Alice stared at the familiarity of James and Meisya from afar, as James and Mei laughed together and James pulled Mei's hand to speed up the steps and entered the cafeteria in the corner of the campus.
"Oh so the rhinoceros likes the beautiful woman earlier, she is really a woman, Kent," said Alice quietly and looked dreamy.
"Well, she's really a woman, you're a woman James said," Kent laughed loudly and Alice punched Kent in the arm. Then he patted Kent on the shoulder and passed from the front of Kent.
"Give it to the Rhino, Kent, I don't want to know, just give it to me" Alice shouted as she passed away from Kent.

James walks into his room again after lunch with Mei and delivers May to the campus gate.
He frowned when he saw a medium-sized box on his desk. He opened slowly and saw the statue of himself, as James' face changed, he wrapped it back up and carried the box out of his room and threw it into the trash can by his side. James assuaged the rumbling of his chest, it must have been Kent who put it on his desk. He tried to disappear his anger, back struggling with his work.

Mei walks into her apartment and soon changes clothes and begins to work on assignments from Kent. Mei stopped her job when her phone rang. Ah, Minda, what's wrong? Think May.

Yes mother thanks
Mei closes her phone and stares back at her laptop and opens a book from Kent.
An hour later May began to feel tired and closed her laptop. He returned to his room and laid himself in the bed, only to close his cell phone's eyes. Turns out the phone from Edwin, Mei sat in her bed
Hello big brother
Again, his voice sounded tired.
Again in bed, tired of doing tasks

He'eh, mom called me to know that too

Mei closed her phone and spread her body again, then closed her eyes.

For a month James has always received the delivery of a statue of the face, which is placed on his desk. James decided not to ask Kent, he just routinely dumped the statue in the trash. He let Kent be curious because he did not rebuke Kent about the statue.
A month later the submissions changed, ranging from funny mugs that had paintings of James's face to abstract-modeled knickknacks for decoration on the table. Back James let and as usual ended up in the trash.
***
"Can I come in James?" kent's question appeared in James' room, James raising his face from the pile of tasks.
"Your tumbens are licensed, usually also often trespassed," James' voice was made as appropriate as possible. Kent sat in a chair, in front of James's desk.
"I'm sorry, I know, you already know that I put all of Alice's things down and I also know that they end up in the trash" Kent's voice sounded serious. Tumben, thought James whose face remained serious on his duty.
"There's something I want to tell you, don't cut it and don't leave me when I talk, let me tell you the story until it's over" Kent said. James still did not respond.
"If you look at Alice who is tomboyish, cranky and strong-looking, it's just camouflage, she's James's fragile personality, three years ago she had an event that almost cost us her life, since childhood he was known to be very tomboy indeed, one day he began to relate to a man like they love each other, almost two years they were in touch until finally Al is known to be pregnant, Al, the wedding had been carefully planned despite the mother papa being disappointed in Al, and as we all waited for so long, the groom did not come, which we were obviously ashamed of the guests, Al James stress that resulted in her miscarriage, when she realized if she miscarried she was getting depressed, since the beginning Al did want to keep her baby, Al did want to keep her baby, we all kept Al from doing anything fatal, but no matter how much we looked after Al, he could fool us, he almost lost his life, when he was found in the bathroom, lying with his wrist injured, we all treated him with affection, taking him on a regular basis to a psychiatrist to cure his nightmares, we are grateful that he began to live a normal and serious life in a field that had been cut off because of the event, so I was shocked right when he like you, he said, starting to dare to open up his feelings to others and open up to me about how he feels," Kent repelled his story by breathing heavily.
"I'm surprised when he seems to like you, when he dares to like the opposite sex means he has really healed his heart because for me, when we love someone it means having to be ready with pain, but I was worried about James, when I saw your rejection in the first place" Kent looked at James who was still cool with his job. James lifted his face from the pile of his work.
"You're forcing me to like it, while I haven't healed my wounds because of Mei ?" james asked with a serious face without a smile.
James looked at Kent even deeper.
"Tell her, I've also been hurt by Meisya, so don't force me to be nice to her, you know what I mean?" ask James again.
"I understand James, I'm not forcing you to like Alice, I'm just telling you my heart, we've been very close to each other since childhood, maybe it's because he's our tomboy often fits in the boys' game, so he's not only as a big brother to me, but also like a friend even a best friend," just this time James saw Kent really seriously.
The two were long silent, enjoying each other's daydreams and gasping as the door was on a smooth tap and the door was wide open.
"Meisyaaa.," said James. And Kent turned his head then he gasped in shock.
"Well...al..?"...
