Miss Kissable & Mr. Strawberry

Meet Mr. Strawberry

Kayla rounded her eyes for a moment, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"What did Mami say?"

"Come on! Meet Alex, you promised him. Mommy doesn't want your child to be a liar or break a promise."

"Mami let Lily meet Alex? Now Mi?"

Mami nodded, "But this time, and it should be the same mom. Can't be alone."

Kayla still can't believe it, "Mommy seriously? I didn't see Alex, either, I didn't know Mi Lily."

"It's not a matter of having to meet or not dear, if you meet with Alex during the day mami does not matter, this is why you have to make the appointment at night anyway? It's nine o'clock again, what if Alex waits for you a long time?"

"You see Alex is waiting, now he must have come home. Where would he wait for so long, Mi. So, yes lupain! Lily won't be out tonight."

"Get out with mommy, meet her! Keep your promise, and don't repeat it again. No more promises!"

Kayla's confused. la's really going to see Alex tonight? And accompanied by mom? Kayla did not even prepare the words or answers she would say to Alex. Kayla did not think about it, since Kayla only thought about her guilt for not coming when Kayla knew, Alex must be waiting for her. Kayla thinks maybe Alex is disappointed in her, and this could affect Alex's concentration in her exam later.

"Lilly? How to dream again? Come on, let's get ready! No matter what the night is, it's still nine o'clock, Alex's restaurant must still be open."

"But Mi, Mami's sure Lily should meet Alex?"

Mami snorted with a smile, "Mami asked you, from earlier you thought this, right? You feel guilty because you promised but not delivered?" Kayla nodded.

"You won't be able to calm down before you meet Alex." Kayla was wide open to hear it.

"Mommy doesn't want your test to be interrupted because of this thought, so let's meet Alex!" mami said again, patting Kayla on the shoulder.

Kayla finally went to her room to get ready. Kayla has to be fast, because it's getting late. Alex must have been waiting for him a long time, but.. was he going to wait this long? Maybe he came home because he waited too long?

Now Kayla is standing looking at her clothes arranged in the closet, she is confused what to wear. Kayla scratched her head in frustration.

"Do I really have to come? What clothes are you wearing? Duuhuha... It's like this hour again, I don't think Alex is still waiting."

Finally Kayla took her clothes random only, wear anything important come right. Not necessarily Alex was still there when Kayla came later, at least Kayla kept her promise, even though it was too late.

Tonight Kayla wears a tunic top that is paired with jeans. His hair was styled unraveled without bangs, he wore a headband bandana cloth on his head. Coupled with a small sling bag as accessories.

After Kayla finished wearing her lip gloss, she went back to checking her makeup. Just make up natural, thin powder, eye shadow and mascara, also natural lip color. If Alex recognizes him after seeing him, let him. Kayla will think about it later, the important thing is Miss Kissable came to keep her appointment with Mr. Strawberry.

"Dear, your tumben..."

"Tumben what Mi?" Kayla became misbehaved when my mother noticed her appearance.

"Can you use your own lenses? You want to go out without your glasses and.. this look?"

"Emm.. Too much huh Mi?"

"No, good. Yuk!"

Kayla and Mami set off on their newly purchased motorcycle last week. After arriving at Alex's restaurant, Kayla starts to get nervous.

"Mi..."

"Come there, mami wait."

Mami sat down at one of the restaurants and relaxed while snacking, waiting for Kayla.

"Alex is still waiting..?" little Kayla murmured while walking.

Kayla stepped steadily towards the garden of the restaurant, feeling nervous. Now Kayla was standing at the front door of the garden, she saw Alex sitting in a wooden gazebo in the middle of the garden. It seems Alex has not noticed Kayla's arrival.

"Alex did it, he looked like he was painting." Kayla muttered while watching Alex.

Sitting Alex facing the door, in front of him stood a canvas that blocked Kayla's vision from Alex.

Kayla slowly came in, but it seemed Alex was still unaware of her arrival, as there was no reaction Kayla saw from Alex. He seems to be very focused on his canvas.

"Alex didn't know I was coming, or did he know but was deliberately silent? Is he mad I'm late?" kayla's mind as she continued to step toward Alex.

As Kayla's steps almost reached the gazebo, Alex raised her head and she seemed to gasp at Kayla, to the point that she spilled the paint onto the canvas and hit her own pants accidentally. "Ops.."

"Mrs Strawberry!"

"Kissable!" get back up, stand up.

Kayla climbs into the gazebo and approaches, looking at Alex's paint splattered on the floor, the canvas and up to Alex's pants.

"You..."

"No papa, just shocked earlier" said Alex as a child.

"I ngagetin you huh? Sorry..."

"Sir papa, I'm waiting for you anyway, so I look at you until I'm like this deh." he said chuckling as he played his eyebrows, making Kayla smile clumsily.

Alex was so happy to see Miss Kissable in front of him, the girl he had been waiting for for for hours sitting here, finally came too. If possible, Alex would love to hug Miss Kissable right now, because she is so happy and misses Miss Kissable.

Seeing Miss Kissable was awkward. Alex stopped his gaze and took out a tissue and cleaned his hands and his pants that were covered with paint.

"I'll wash my hands for a while" he said as he climbed down from the gazebo.

After Alex died, Kayla stepped on the canvas while looking down, staring at the painting Alex who seemed almost finished but had fallen apart due to the paint spillage. Kayla smiled at the painting, Alex painted the night sky with the moon and stars shining brightly.

"That's great." Kayla muttered in amazement.

"Thank you."

Kayla gasps when she hears Alex's voice returning to the park and is walking towards her.

Kayla got off the gazebo, and stood in front of Alex. "Sorry Mr. Strawberry."

"No papa, just paint doang kok painting, it's common."

"No, I'm sorry I just came."

Alex smiled sweetly, for some reason Kayla felt something in her heart when she saw Alex like this.

"No problem, you want to come at twelve in the evening and I'll be waiting for you."

Kayla chuckles, "There-there-is. Are you still waiting for me?"

"lya dong, you think why am I here, painting is not clear."

"Unclear? Your paintings are good, you like to paint?"

"Like it, but actually I paint it again. Come here!"

Alex invites Kayla to sit at the place she has provided, a round table with two chairs facing. Kayla felt awkward with this table decoration in front of her. There was a large heart-shaped candle, and there were rose petals scattered around the candle.

"Miss Kissable, when you just arrived, what was the first thing you saw?"

"You."

Alex frowned while grinning a smile, "Me?"

"lyas. What's up?"

"Emm.. I think you'll see this" Alex said as he circulated his hands showing the decorations surrounding the garden and also the round table in front of them.

Kayla looked in amazement around her, "Wow...is this on purpose on the tail?"

"Hm, you like it?"

"lya, likes. But why?"

"Because you want to come, there must be a welcome dong for a special person" said Alex, making Kayla blush.

"Thank you, Miss Kissable!" Alex lights the candle.

"Huh?" confused Kayla.

"Thank you for coming"

Kayla smiled, "Have you been waiting for me?"

"I've been standing by from seven o'clock anyway"

Kayla was wide-eyed, she felt bad for making Mr. Strawberry wait that long. It's already 21:40, so Alex has been waiting for him for over two hours.

"I'm sorry yes.. Mr. Strawberry, I actually forgot."

Kayla did not lie, she did forget after promising last week, then at school Alex mentioned about Miss Kissable and next week. Kayla remembered it.

Alex smiled, "Father, no."

"Aren't you angry?"

"Well, why are you angry?"

"You waited for me for hours, and I missed my promise. Masa' you don't get angry or feel sprained? Or you must be bosen."

Alex chuckled, "Not Miss Kissable, I'm not angry, not sprained, just not too bored. I was just nervous, so I brought painting to relax."

Kayla gawked in disbelief, how could Alex be this calm waiting for her for hours?He even said that he wasn't bored, was that right?

"Why don't you believe me?"

"Why aren't you angry, not sprained, just as not bored waiting for me? Why are you so nervous?"

"Because I'm waiting for someone special, and I'm sure you'll come"

Again Kayla gawked at hearing it.

"I'm nervous because I can't wait to see you, not because I'm afraid you won't come. Look, you came!"

"Are you sure?"

Alex nodded. "Why don't I come?"

"I'll wait for you to come, I said that even though you came at twelve o'clock last night, I must have waited."

Kayla thought it was just a joke. "Why don't I ever come?"

Alex looked at Kayla's eyes intensely and said "That's how I'm going to find you like I did before. I'll find you until I see you."

What kind of feeling was Kayla feeling, why was her heart beating so fast and her little heart so happy when Alex said that, looking at her like that, and with that beautiful smile of hers. Slowly without Kayla noticing, a faint smile rose from her kissable lips.

Alex loved this moment, looking at Miss Kissable like this, in this serene atmosphere. Alex felt very happy, his heart seemed to flowery.

"Miss Kissable...?"

"yeah?" Kayla gasped a little.

Alex grabs a small remote that was on the table, he pushes the only button on the remote. Kayla doesn't understand what Alex is doing.

"Last week you were horrified I said a lot, now I will hear you say."

"Huh?" Kayla wavers and is nervous, what will she say now?

"Excuse me Alex!" A waiter came and handed Alex a menu book. Turns out the remote that Alex had been tapping was to call the waiter.

"Miss Kissable, what do you want to drink?" alex asked as he opened the menu book and swiped it in front of Kayla.

"Emm.." Kayla just looked at the menu book, she couldn't choose correctly, let alone choose the menu, she couldn't even think of anything now, so nervous.

"It's up to you." It's finally coming out of Kayla's mouth.

Alex snorted a smile, "What does that mean? I don't understand." he said, raising his shoulders.

Kayla bit her lower lip nervously, of course her movements did not escape Alex's sight.

"It's hot chocolate" he said later.

"OKAY. Eaten it?"

"Huh?"

"Eat what? Choose what you like!"

Kayla took a deep breath after seeing Alex cry, Kayla felt ridiculous, Alex could definitely see her nervousness at this moment.

After sighing, his nervousness began to control him. "I'm happy, because I ate at home."

"Oh, okay. Choose a snack."

Kayla chooses milo-sour banana snacks. Then Alex chose his own menu, lemon tea and seafood fried noodles. In addition, Alex also asked to bring another menu as a casual menu and mouthwash, such as dessert and strawberry juice his favorite.

Kayla is still confused about what to talk about, she tries to find topics that are not related to the chatter last week, more precisely the chat about their feelings. But what Kayla can talk about with Alex is impossible about school. Alex doesn't know that Miss Kissable went to school with him.

Oh yeah, about Alex's mom! Yes, Kayla was curious about Alex's relationship with her mother. Ever since Kayla saw Alex yelling at her mama at the mall that time, Kayla became an adjustment.

"Yes, I was wondering about her mother.But where to start..?" he murmured in the heart.

"Mr Strawberries"

"Yes?" answer Alex spirit.

"Actually last Sunday, I came here, and then I met your mother here."

"Oh yeah, I'm curious about that too. So you're here, and you're not killing me?"

Kayla chuckled, "I'm here with my friend, he's the one who's upset. At first I didn't know he wanted me to eat here. Pasampe here, I had thought to nyamperin you really, but instead met your mother."

"Your friend... What kind of girl is a guy?"

"Hm?" Kayla raises her eyebrows in wonder, Kayla thinks Alex will respond to Kayla's meeting with her mother.

"Why is this even being asked?" kayla muttered inwardly, Kayla saw Alex's facial expression slightly tense.

"Girl" Kayla briefed, making Alex sigh in relief.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh, not papa." Alex then smiled mysteriously, leaving Kayla frowning confused. "Thanks to Miss Kissable."

"Thanks make..?"

"The letter."

"Oh.the letter." Good, now Kayla can start asking about Alex's mother. "So how?"

"I love your writing in that letter, I still keep it."

"I mean, don't you eat the cake?"

"Oh, yes dong. As you wish, Miss Kissable" said softly.

"Your mama must have been very fond of seeing you eat the cake."

Alex smiled wryly. "What does he say to you?"

Kayla frowned, "He?"

"Em... You mean to say, what is my mother?"

"By the way you are." Kayla said, making Alex's face change instantly.

Alex was getting upset, bad guesses crossed his mind. What if you tell Miss Kissable about her bad behavior to Miss Kissable? What if you talk about their bad relationship? What if Miss Kissable finds out about Alex's true character?

"Mr Strawberry, I have something to ask you."

"yeah?"

"Well, I'm talking about your mama, do you mind?"

Kayla saw Alex's facial expression change, didn't she like Kayla talking about her mother? Has he deliberately avoided this topic? thought Kayla.

Alex shook his head with a smile but it seemed that his smile was forced. His eyes seem to show dislike. "Hm, please" he replied rather flatly.

"At that time, I saw you talking to your mother. After you go your mama cry, he said you said. if you don't like strawberries. Why?"

Alex clucked resentfully in his heart, apparently his mother told him about it. Now how can Alex answer Miss Kissable's question?!

"You didn't mean to turn down the cake, did you? I'm sure you won't do that."

"What else did my mom say to you?" ask Alex.

Kayla shook her head, "I told you, I was in a hurry, so I just sent you a letter, right, not nyamperin. So I'm the same mom you don't talk much"

Alex looked up at Miss Kissable, because earlier, since Miss Kissable had talked about her mother earlier, Alex had lowered her head to hide her face and gaze so that Miss Kissable would not notice the irritation she felt.

"What's the matter Mr Strawberry?"

Alex nodded with a smile.

"You haven't answered my question."

"Emm..?" Alex knew what Miss Kissable meant, but she couldn't answer that question.

Alex chuckles, "Well, what's the matter, is it important?"

"yes, it's important to express my curiosity. You're Mr. Strawberry, but you said to your mama that you don't like strawberries. I'm confused"

Alex averted his gaze, avoiding the eyes of Miss Kissable who felt intimidating to him.

"Mr Strawberry, don't papa if you don't want to answer. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable with that question."

"Miss Kissable, let's eat the food first!" alex said diverting, taking his drink and sipping it slowly.

Because of being late in the conversation, they so ignore the food and drinks that have been delivered by the waiter since. After Alex offers her food, Kayla starts eating her snacks.

"Did I ruin your mood?" kayla asked, because Alex had been quiet ever since.

Alex is just gaping and will bribe his noodles, then undo it. He grunted a smile as he looked at Kayla.

"Miss Kissable, please don't feel like it. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable."

"I know, that's not what you want to hear from me. I even talked about something else. Are you upset?"

"Not that, Miss Kissable."

"Can I know something before I talk about the main topic you've been waiting for?"

Alex was happy to hear that, finally Miss Kissable wanted to talk about something Alex was waiting for. About his heart, and the answer Alex wanted to hear. But why did Miss Kissable say she wanted to know something first? What's he mean? I hope it has nothing to do with my mom, Alex thought.

"Sure" he answered steadily.

"Do you remember the letter I gave you back then?"

"Remember dong" Alex replied instantly with confidence.

"What's it all about?"

"Birthday cake, right?!" I don't know why Alex felt that wasn't the answer Miss Kissable wanted.

"yes, that was his original purpose. But there's another part, right?" ask again.

Alex was confused, what did Miss Kissable mean to ask like this. And what answer he wanted to hear from Alex, wasn't the contents of the letter really about birthday cake?

"Mr Strawberry, I didn't write the letter. Even though I was in a bit of a hurry, I wrote it seriously. Everything I write is from my heart. Do you know something in your heart when you read the letter?"

Alex was flabbergasted, "He wrote from the heart?" inner Alex amazed.

"Mr Strawberry, if you know something in your heart just read the letter, any feeling, please tell me?"

"Feelings?! Whatdoes thatmean? What exactly does Miss Kissable want to know, why does it have to do with the letter??" alex muttered in his heart.

Alex recalls the entire contents of the letter, and he recalls how he felt while reading the letter. Although she still did not understand, what Miss Kissable really wanted to know.
