Melody Love Aqila

chapter 22 Burning the Fire of Jealousy

Arif stared intently at Aqila and Irfan who seemed engrossed in talking in the garden, his hands tightly clenched, his heart burning hot with jealous flames. For the first time he felt hatred for the person he admired, he had never felt the inner torment he was now experiencing, usually he was a calm and rational person. Several times Arif was about to approach them but was undone, he fought with his own feelings.

what am I supposed to do? do I have to punish their actions? but what wrong do I have to reprove?

why also I have to hide gini anyway. like a bego.

"sucks.. !" arif's words slid from his mouth without realizing it.

Arif waited anxiously behind the shade tree where he hid, his eyes would not be separated from them. He began to feel calm as Aqila left Irfan

Aqila was satisfied after Irfan realized his mistake, a sense of joy emanated from the smile on her face. He did not realize that his footsteps had been overshadowed by Arif ever since he left the park.

"Well, you seem very happy today" said Arif.

Aqila was surprised, she stopped her steps and turned to face Arif.

"Where did you go yesterday?" ask Arif ketus

"I... " Aqila was unable to continue her words, she felt uneasy if she was straightforward.

"Are you hiding because you're ashamed to walk with me?" guess Arif.

Aqila nodded her head.

"But..why aren't you ashamed to be alone with Irfan at the park?" ask Arif full of search.

Aqila was unable to answer, she felt like being a defendant, she just lowered her head.

"Is my face so ugly?"ask Arif

"No, brother is not ugly. Even very handsome" Aqila said, her face flushed red from embarrassment at her own words.

Suddenly Arif was pleased with Aqila's reply, his smile instantly expanding on her face

"Honey bakery bread is famous for being delicious, let's go there" Invite Arif.

"I want to buy bread not for you but for your students" said Arif ketus

"Sir Arif wants to stop by my place again?" ask Aqila

"Yes, it's a punishment because you disappeared yesterday" Arif said.

Aqila followed Arif towards Honey bakery across the street, joy running through her heart at imagining the joy of her students at receiving those delicious breads.

Arif bought bread with various flavors, he bought a cake that he thought was the most special for Aqila.After leaving the Honey bakery store, Arif headed to the doll shop.

"What are we here for?" ask Aqila

"i want to buy you that doll" replied Arif

"no, I'm not a child anymore" Aqila said.

Arif looks offended, Aqila can guess it from the change in his face.

"Sorry brother, not that I intended to refuse the gift of brother but for me a doll is less useful. Moreover, the price is so expensive" said Aqila

"Before entering Honey bakery, I saw you look admiring the beauty of the doll displayed on the storefront.I just want to please you" said Arif.

Aqila was deeply moved by Arif's confession.

"Then, let's go to the shoe store. You are free to choose the shoes you want" Arif asked.

"thank you for the kindness of Arif, but not for now" Aqila said

"Why?" ask Arif

"because it can make me embarrassed to see my next sister" said Aqila

Aqila realized her shoes were already very unfit to wear. But in his heart he did not want to be a prank on others.
