Krikk...
Only the occasional crickets could be heard breaking the silence tonight, in the middle of a dense forest, the two gender-different men were sitting quietly facing the bonfire. Since Kayla's cry died down half an hour ago, Alex took the initiative to make a bonfire to warm them both, as well as for lighting as well, as Alex's flashlight dimmed and his battery was running low.
Kayla feels awkward at the moment, so does Alex. The meeting between the two of them in the middle of the night was so dramatic and both became emotional. Kayla felt embarrassed because she clasped Alex's hand and cried loosely in front of the arrogant man. And Alex also felt so because he was so carried away by the feeling that without thinking he just pulled Kayla into his arms, as the girl tightened her cries and held Alex's hand with her trembling pale hands
The two sat opposite to the burning bonfire illuminating and warming between them. Sometimes Alex steals a look at Kayla whose face is bent.
Kayla extended her hands towards the campfire, letting the warm sensation spread throughout her body through her hands. At least his feelings were calmer now that he was no longer alone and was no longer cold. Amidst his fragility, Alex comes and gives him a sense of security, like an arid land drenched in rain. Alex had said nothing since he had come but his first call just now, I don't know what he was thinking. He doesn't look like the arrogant and hot-tempered Alex, but like the gentle and affectionate Mr. Strawberry.
Kayla did not expect Alex to come. He had expected someone to come to help him and pick him up, but it didn't occur to him that Alex was the one. Kayla thinks Alex doesn't care about things like this, considering she's an Alex, a ruthless, arrogant and bully-like school lord. But Kayla forgot, that this man sitting opposite her is also Mr. Strawberry.
Mr. Strawberry who only Kayla knows.
"Thank you." said Kayla awkwardly.
"Hm." That's just Alex's answer that Kayla heard.
Silent.
It seems that both of them still feel awkward to talk or just glance at each other.
"Udah okay?" ask Alex to doubt.
"Yes." Yeah." Kayla nodded with a faint smile.
Alex let out a long sigh, "Remain here? Don't know if everyone is panicking? Doyan is looking for trouble!" alex ketus said.
Kayla raised her eyebrows in wonder, is Mr Strawberry now back as Alex?Kayla pursed her chin while turning her eyes, showing as if she was sulking.
"Please cry, midnight again, like a ghost!" alex said again.
"But you can find me because of the horror of my crying, right? If it's a weeping ghost why are you samperin?" sahut Kayla, made Alex grimace.
"Ngerepotin. You know, it's a long way from our camp ground! The road is steep, the forest is dense, it is difficult to know for nyampe here, why also you can get here? Wonder." Alex's nagging again.
"Where do I know, the guy I strayed. But I'm more surprised, how did you get here? Why are you bothering to find me?"
Alex chuckles, "Everybody bothers nyariin you! I'm just helping." said Alex prestige, as well as trying to hide his concerns.
"Which other crus?"
"Where do I know, it's been home time. Who wants to walk in the woods in the middle of the night long, dark, lots of mosquitoes, whether the wind is strong again?!"
"You."
Alex gasped, he raised his head to look at Kayla. "they may all go home, but you didn't. You keep continuing your path, right even though it's dark, many mosquitoes are there strong winds?"
Alex immediately turned his eyes away from feeling wronged. It's also true Kayla said, when everyone gave up on the weather conditions, Alex stayed and struggled. Not thinking about anything else other than Kayla's state, even she wasn't thinking about herself. The choice was not in vain, the search was fruitful.
"When did you realize I didn't exist?" ask Kayla.
"Since the afternoon, when your friends come home with bad news" replied Alex flatly.
Kayla smiled wryly, she recalled back when they were about to be attacked by a snake. His friends must have been worried when they realized Kayla wasn't around.
"I'm a stray.." - Kayla.
"Trus crying? You think with a cry can point your way home? You are alone in the middle of the forest, danger..! Mr. Erwin said in this forest a lot of wild animals, anything can happen to you! Moreover, you had a chance to meet a snake, right?" murmur Alex.
Kayla stunned. Then she smiled faintly, her little heart feeling happy to see Alex's anxiety.
"I'm fine now." said Kayla calmly.
"yes now, this is also your condition is not very good!" ketus again.
"I'm not papa Al..."
"What is not papa? You're alone here, dark, crying in fear! That's what you said all right?" scared again.
"yes, but now I'm not alone anymore, right? It's you, it's not dark anymore, it's just not crying anymore. Thank you Al.."
Alex grimaced while holding back her tears. Alex is lucky to find Kayla tonight, what if she can't find Kayla? Alex would have felt pretty useless, or sorry. Kayla's condition was quite alarming, not arguably okay according to Alex, Alex felt hurt to see it. I don't know what would happen if Kayla was gripped by fear and darkness all night?
"Thank you for bothering me, for caring about me, and for me. I'm really fine now AI."
"But still, I'm worried.." Alex stopped because he was embarrassed to say so.
"I-I mean-.."
Kayla smiled faintly, "Come on Mr. Strawberry. I know this is you, you can't possibly let Miss Kissable get in trouble right?"
Alex's heart warms when Kayla calls Mr. Strawberry, but he is also misbehaved. "You said you wanted to eat Mr. Strawberry, why mention it again?"
"The good guy's hard to forget, like I'd like to eat Alex deh instead of menggelupain Mr. Strawberry"
Alex laughed, and Kayla laughed. "Why do you want to fuck Alex, hate it?" ask Alex.
"Emm. How about it, Alex is..." Kayla was silent, leaving Alex confused.
"What, how about diem?"
"I almost forgot, now I'm again in the middle of the forest, the nights, and then the two are just the same as you. If I'm talking bad about Alex, you're angry. If you get angry, no one can save me from your anger" said Kayla, making Alex smile mysteriously.
"Oh really, we're just the two of us here. So I can do anything with you, hmm..." Alex moved and approached Kayla.
Kayla swallows her saliva misgivingly, "I almost forgot, too, that I must be safe as long as Mr. Strawberry is here" Kayla said trying to shake off her misgivings.
Alex chuckled, "What do you think? I'm telling you to eat first." Alex sat down next to Kayla and handed her a packet of bread, which she took out of her jacket pocket.
"Hm?" confused Kayla.
Alex also gave Kayla a bottle of mineral water, but she deliberately brought a small supply before going through the forest to look for Kayla. Kayla was actually hesitant to accept it, but she was hungry and limp.
"Take it, I know you must be a laper, eating this way may not make you full, but it can not be hard stomach right" said Alex softly.
Kayla accepted it doubtfully. "You?" kayla asked as she unfolded her bread.
"I ate it"
"When? that noon? That's why I ate too."
Kayla divides her bread into two parts and she gives one of them to Alex.
"Ck, no! You eat only, surely laper kan abis nangis energy lu kekuras. That too, your face is too big." Alex picked it up again.
"Al, masa' I am so hungry? You have been fighting in the forest at night for my nyari, from afternoon until now you have not eaten, right? Let's eat together!"
"Do not ge'er yes, I just help others doang kok follow your nyari! Your loss is a school responsibility, which means my responsibility as well" Alex said.
Kayla snorted a smile, "Everything talks about responsibility.." she muttered softly.
"What did you say?"
"I said. If laper doesn't have prestige! The bread is yours too, take it!"
And Kayla realized that from Alex's facial expression, "Want me a bribe?"
Alex rounded his eyes, making Kayla laugh out loud.
"Damn it, he fucked me?!" alex grumbled in his heart.
Alex snatches his bread from Kayla's hand and eats it sadistically. Kayla also ate her part of the bread while she rancid.
"Btw, when do we get home?" ask Kayla.
"When did I tell you to come home?" alex ketus sahut.
"Al..?" reprimand Kayla.
"It's not safe to walk at night, wait for the morning! My flashlight is also the battery is already abis, just rest first!"
"Truly nginep here, sleep here..?" kayla muttered softly as she spread her gaze around without moving her head. When he was scared and alone he really thought he was going to spend the night here. In the darkness, fear and threat of wild animals. But after Alex was with him Kayla thought she could come home and get out of this creepy forest.
Alex crossed his legs and stretched his body loosening his muscles as well, which felt sore. Seeing her Kayla understood, Alex must be tired after hours of walking through the forest to look for her. He needs rest, Kayla too, right? Kayla is just scared and uncomfortable to be here, but Alex doesn't seem to have a problem sleeping on the ground and without a blanket even though the night is getting colder piercing into the bones.
"Al, thank you.."
"Hm, the feeling has already been said" Alex chuckled. "Btw, you didn't get bitten by a snake, did you? ask Alex.
"Alhamdulillah. I'm in shock anyway, so I run away not using thinking, not aware if I stray."
"There are no other beasts, right?" ask Alex again.
"No, but I'm watching the sound of a lion like that."
"What's? Trus?" surprised Alex.
"No papa Al, maybe I'm wrong, there's no singa."
Alex snorted in annoyance, and hardened his jaw. "****!"
"What do you think? You mad?" ask Kayla.
"Why aren't they your nyusulin, shouldn't they know you don't exist, they find you dong? So you don't have to do anything like this!" murmur Alex.
"You don't know how panicked we were at the time, Al. They must have been like me, shocked and thought of nothing but to run as far away from the snake as possible"
"But as if they were looking for you right, surely at that time you were not far. You don't have to hang out here alone at night, this place is dangerous!"
"Kok you're angry anyway? Don't blame my friends! Al, I'm fine now." Alex snorted in annoyance.
"Okay, no papa. If you are sprained. you are angry. go out. Get angry at me! But you won't be angry with my friends!"
"They were wrong, and the pantes were punished! Don't fuck them!"
"There's nothing wrong, Al. It wasn't just me in danger, they were. It's a disaster, forget it all!" kayla said calmly.
Alex shook his head in annoyance, "You remember Al, you used to bully people on the grounds of Miss Kissable. You know, I don't like that. And if you repeat the same thing, I'm disappointed." Kayla said a little softly.
Alex changed his face, of course he remembered the events of that day. Because of his anger, he hurt Miss Kissable accidentally and the scar did not disappear just like that, if Alex saw Alex again regret and feel guilty.
"Pliss.lupain the day's events! I. a-. I'm sorry!" sorry Alex.
"Alex is sorry..?" kayla murmured in her heart.
Alex felt stupid after saying that, "Damn it! Why am I talking about it anyway, he must be laughing at me. Alex is never wrong, let alone wrong. How can I forget, she is a brash girl who is arrogant and dare to challenge me. He's sneaky!" alex in the Heart.
"Learn to control your anger, AI!"
Alex interjected, "Can he tell me?!" inner Alex.
Kayla felt an unkind aura from Alex's expression, it seemed like Kayla's words had troubled her. So Kayla was trying to shift the conversation, so Alex wouldn't really be upset.
"You rest Al, you must be tired, right? Tomorrow we have to go home, I want to rest."
Alex snorted, this annoyance of his was useless. Kayla is right, Alex has to rest because tomorrow will be a long way back, to go home to camp ground. After all, Alex is feeling very tired, his whole body aches. Strange, when he walked looking for Kayla earlier he did not feel this cool, even though the journey he took was very far and even steep, which made him fall several times and his legs had been injured. Maybe it was her passion to find Miss Kissable that made her strong and could ignore her fatigue, Alex thought.
Alex glanced at Kayla once more and it again made her feel upset. she clucked in annoyance as she stood up, sat back across the bonfire and let Kayla rest. Kayla sits leaning against a tree, and Alex does the same. But even though they have been silent for a long time, their eyes are not necessarily closed.
"Where can I sleep like this, Alex is right in front of me. She thinks I keep going, she's not gonna do anything weird, is she?" kayla Inner.
Alex is silent considering his moments at school with Kayla. In the past he only knew her as Kayla, a cupu schoolgirl who was always a laughing stock with his three friends. When he first bullies Kayla, when they first meet, when Kayla begins to rebel and oppose him, until Kayla inflames her anger until she loses her mind.
That brutal shameful incident that Alex could not forget the most. While Alex is emotional and unable to control himself, he only thinks of punishing Kayla without her realizing that he is actually punishing himself as well. Alex regretted his actions, even though he was an arrogant and evil man, he was never a jerk that day. At that time he did not know that Kayla was Miss Kissable, and after he found out the guilt was increasingly becoming and haunting him.
How foolish he was, he abused his own maiden and he still did not recognize her. Even though Alex was aware that her Miss Kissable and Kayla had some resemblance, her anger still overcame her logic and heart.
la said he loved Miss Kissable, missed her and never forgot her? But he failed to recognize her even as he and Miss Kissable themselves often faced and met face to face? she felt nothing but anger, but she herself thought her heart belonged to Miss Kissable.
she deserves to be laughed at, Kayla deserves to hate her, and Miss Kissable might as well forget her.
Hasn't Alex been able to do everything, whatever he wants he can always do? No matter if it's good or not, if he likes it then that's what will happen. But in this case, can he still make sure that what happens must be what he wants? However, in the eyes of Miss Kissable a bad image of herself is clearly visible.
Although after Alex learns the true identity of Miss Kissable, her feelings do not change. If he sees her as Kayla, maybe Alex can still get angry but still he can't forget that Kayla is Miss Kissable. Alex can't lie to his own heart if he still has the same feelings for the girl. When Kayla shows that she is Miss Kissable, the thing Alex fears the most is that she loses her Miss Kissable. she does not want to lose her first love, no matter the girl Kayla or anyone else, Alex won't let go of his first love.
After Alex pondered this for days, he decided he would fight for his first love. Even though Kayla doesn't like him or may hate him, Alex will still love him. Alex will remain Mr. Strawberry for Miss Kissable. Like his intentions, his determination, and his promise, Mr. Strawberry wants to always see Miss Kissable happy and feel comfortable being around him. Want to always take care of her and not let her get into trouble. she wants to be the protector of Miss Kissable and her strength.
Even after everything that happened, the biggest possibility was that Miss Kissable would not be willing to accept it.
Whatever it is, Alex will always try not to lose Miss Kissable. About Miss Kissable accepting it or not, let time and destiny decide.

Kayla's drowsiness overcame her anxiety.he fell asleep despite previously feeling uncomfortable and anxious because Alex kept seeing her. Every now and then Kayla moves in her sleep, irritated that mosquitoes disturb her sleep. Suddenly Kayla felt something touch her body, she was curious then opened her eyes.
"Akh....!!" Kayla reflex closed her mouth and squeaked in shock.
How shocked Kayla was to see Alex was right in front of her. Very close, and Alex just now?
The sharp bead looked straight into Kayla's eyes. Positioned this close, what did Alex do? Wasn't he sitting across there, by a tree a few meters from Kayla. And since when is he here?
"K-.you..why what?" ask Kayla was-was.
"You eat you!"
