Miss Kissable & Mr. Strawberry

Under Rain

Kayla, Adit, Ferdy, and Anggita go to Nia's house to do their group chores. At 16:30 they left, and they finished at 20:00 p.m. Actually doing the task is not that long, but the name of gathering with friends, of course interspersed with joking and relaxing as well.

"Before we go home, we eat first! Mama I cooked a lot, for all of us" said Nia.

"Geez Ni, ngerepotin very." said Adit not tasty.

"Look off again, Dit"

"Thank you Ni, my stomach is very laper. I haven't eaten your mama's cooking for a long time, hehe." Anggita said.

After dinner together, they went home. Kayla came home on her matic motorcycle.

"Kay, would you like me to go home?" tawar Adit's.

"Not Dit, we're not in the same direction. Anyway if you nganter me first, you're late home." said Kayla.

"Last is not a problem Kay, but you dare to go home alone at night?"

Kayla chuckles, "Dare to be Dit. If I'm afraid I'll just speed. Hehe.."

"Jude, I'm first!" adit said while turning on the engine motor.

"yes, bye..!"

In the middle of the road, Kayla motorbike broke down. la confused, he was not long able to ride the bike, now the bike has problems he does not understand. Kayla thought she had to find the nearest workshop, she also grazed her motorbike while walking.

"By the deck?" greet a mother kiosk keeper.

"yes ma'am, there's a workshop not near here?"

"This is not there, but if you turn there not far there is a workshop. Try it!" the mother said, pointing to the left of the road.

Kayla had never been on that road, as the road to her house was straight before entering the compound. But now inevitably Kayla has to go there to bring her bike.

"Thank you, Mom!" kayla.

"yes deck, be careful!" Kayla nodded and left.

After walking for about ten minutes from the stall, Kayla finally found the workshop. la relieved after parking her motorbike in front of the workshop.

"Why deck?" ask the workshop brother who was busy repairing the motor seems.

"Go ahead, don't know why." answered Kayla.

"Well, when you want to close this" said the workshop brother.

"Well, can you help me first. It's not even nine yet."

"But it's Friday night on deck, so I need you to close fast."

"Why bang on Friday night?" ask Kayla plain.

The brother chuckled softly. "Yaudah, wait a minute. Why did he break down his bike?" ask the brother who is busy.

"I don't know, I don't know the bike. Ntar just check!" sahut Kayla's.

While waiting, Kayla sat on the long chair that was available in front of the workshop.he rolled her gaze around, then she glanced at her watch.

"It's quiet, but it's not too late" he murmured slowly.

It seemed like it was because this road was not a big road, so it was not as crowded as the highway Kayla used to cross. This road is arguably narrow, for car vehicles can only be passed one piece, can not be passed by two cars that are at odds. There are two kiosks near this workshop, and there is an ATM. Not far from this workshop there is also a place that many parked cars and motorcycles in front of it, seen from outside Kayla guess it is a discotheque or something. Kayla shuddered in horror at seeing the place even if only from a distance.

"Now long time no bang?" ask Kayla.

"Lumayan. That's why Brother said he wanted to close, this brother can be finished fifteen minutes more deck." said the workshop brother.

Kayla pouted to hear it, hopefully she did not come home too late, later mami worried. Before coming home from Nia's house, Kayla had told my mother via chat that she would be home no later than nine at night. Now it is almost half ten.

Not long after, Kayla saw two people who seemed to be arguing in front of the discotheque. A woman and a man, whom Kayla thought she knew. Kayla heard from her voice. oh is Alex? And who was arguing with him.. Kayla frowned inside while fixing the location of her glasses, looking from afar and carefully who the woman was.

Isn't that Alex's mother? What's up with Alex, did he have a fight with his mom too?

... ....

... ....

... ....

Vanessa catches up with Alex, who is out of the club, and the man she came with follows.

"Alex..!" exclaiming Vanessa.

"What else? Why do you mean, mama doesn't want me to interfere with mama's business?" ketus Alex while walking towards his bike.

"Dengerin mama first, mama beg you not to come to this place again huh! You're still in school, son, studying seriously, don't mess around in this place, danger!"

"Oh yeah? Dangerous what? If it's dangerous, why do you like this place? Mama wants proof of it to me if mama's not a real girl?"

"Stop!" assault Vanessa's men violently, then attack Alex.

Buggh

The man punched Alex in the face, making Alex furious. Vanessa tried to stop him.

"Brazed kid! Nes, let's go in!" take the man.

Vanessa refused and wanted to see Alex's face, but Alex jerked her hand.

"You saw! Nes, the son of the ungodly is so needless to defend!"

"Mas?!" sergeant Vanessa doesn't accept Alex being attacked by a disgraced son.

he went back to trying to get to Alex. Alex who had heated up did not receive a lotus like that, he came forward and immediately retaliated the man's actions by punching his face as well.

"And you jerk! Don't dream of being my stepfather!!" rough snaps.

Vanessa is hysterical when her man returns to avenge Alex's punch and Alex fights back. They really fought, beat each other, not only the face of the target but also the other limbs.

"Enough! Thats enough.. Al!" Vanessa tried to break up.

"It's over, stop..!" vanessa's screams are non-stop.

Vanessa pushes her man's body and blocks Alex, "Udah son, mama please.." she says as she holds Alex's battered face.

Alex looked at his mother who was crying, he hated and hurt to see those tears. Alex turned his face away and let go of his hand.

The man wakes up wiping the bloody tip of his lip from Alex's blow, and pulls Vanessa closer. "Nes, are we going home or coming in?!" decisively.

"Wait for me!" vanessa then approached Alex again, upsetting the man.

Alex glances at the man and his anger flares up again, he tries to hit him again but Vanessa stops.

"Udah son, enough!"

"Udahlah Nes, lupain you have a son like him! Follow me!"

The man pulls Vanessa into his car but Alex holds her hand. Vanessa stopped and was filled to see her hand held by Alex.

"Who's the jerk?!" angered the man then hit Alex again until Alex was pushed back and his hand held on to the mother was released.

"Udah mas, enough!" jerrit Vanessa again.

Alex did not stay silent, he also replied. And again there was a fight between the two of them. Vanessa resigned she could not stop the two people who were equally controlled by this anger.

"OK!!" the strangulation of Vanessa made Alex and the man stop their actions.

"I'm coming with you, let's go home!" vanessa said resigned, making Alex feel disappointed.

"No! Don't come with him!" sergeant Alex is holding his mother's hand.

Vanessa hesitated, she looked at Alex's hand that was holding her hand tightly. But was hurriedly released by the man.

"Come on!" pull it up to get Vanessa into her car.

Alex got up and followed, he stepped roughly behind the man and his mother. "Buck fuckin' wow! Let alone my nyokap or I abisin you!" snapped Alex beaver.

Vanessa choked, she looked back and saw her son's expression. The man opens the car door for Vanessa and asks her to enter immediately, but is intercepted by Alex. Alex shuts the car door tight, angering Vanessa's men. The man will hit Alex again but is stopped by Vanessa.

"Nes, if you still belain him, I go. We're not gonna-.."

"Don't you, I'm coming with you! I just don't want you hurting Alex, let's go." Vanessa quick.

Alex laughed, very tight. There was sorrow and pain in his laughter, which Vanessa understood or not.

"Good..! Good..!" Alex clapped his hands. "Go there! Let's just say we've never known!" snapped Alex.

"You go home, son, calm yourself down." - Vanessa turned around and got into the car.

Vanessa knows Alex hates her, but today Vanessa saw Alex care for her. What he had been waiting for all this time, Alex finally held his hand. But on the other side is Tommy, the man who's been with him for the past month. He makes Vanessa feel comfortable and safe by his side, he also loves Vanessa's twins and intends to marry Vanessa. He is possessive but he is a good man. So far, after being abandoned by Vino, only this time Vanessa feels there is a man who is really sincere to her, the man is Tommy. And today, there was a fight between her son and his man, which made Vanessa a dilemma.

For the umpteenth time, Vanessa sacrificed Alex's feelings. Right now he is doing it, Alex is currently controlled by his anger. It's no use if he tries to talk nicely to the kid right now, Alex is sure to vent his anger on anyone or on anything around him. If he stays here and tries to talk to Alex, then Tommy who is also very angry can lose control, and the situation and condition of the two men he loves will get worse. Vanessa also did not want Alex to lose control worse than she had, so she chose to let her own son first so that her son could quell her anger.

Alex kicked Tommy's car madly, "Get out you jerk! Don't be a coward, you want to avoid my punch, heh?!"

Tommy glanced at Vanessa who was wiping away her tears. "I'm sorry, Nes." said Tommy before driving.

Vanessa saw Alex again before he left, actually he could not leave Alex in this situation and in a place like this, but if he remained here then the quarrel would be more fierce. he could only pray for Alex to be fine and be able to calm himself down after this.

"Tenwin yourself son." he murmured softly

The car leaves Alex alone in a rage. Alex growled furiously and kicked his own bike to the ground.

... ....

... ....

... ....

Kayla, who saw Alex from a distance, was flabbergasted she wanted to approach Alex but then she remembered that she would not talk to Alex. Kayla tried not to care about Alex, she turned her eyes away.Acgrily moaning Alex screams made her shudder in horror, but the screams also sounded like people in pain.

"Your young man is labile, screaming obscurely!" grumbled the workshop brother who of course also heard Alex's scream.

The workshop brother then glanced at Kayla who grasped his own two hands and looked scared, "Don't be surprised deck, here is an ordinary kayak. Well. his name is also a workshop near the discotheque. Sometimes you are also bullied by the girls there, hehee. Understand that you are still young."

Kayla smiled faintly. Finally the workshop brother finished with the motor that busied him earlier, now he dragged Kayla's motor nearby.

"New deck?" ask the brother after looking around at Kayla's bike.

"lya bang, just a few months ago bought it."

The brother laughed a little. "It's all about gasoline on deck, the bike is all right."

"That's bang, hehe.. Thank God" said Kayla clumsy.

Kayla laughs at herself, she doesn't even know the bike is running out of gas, she really doesn't understand the bike at all.

Suddenly thunder and lightning struck the sky, making Kayla squeak in shock. In the next second, the rain immediately flushed the earth with a rush. After the workshop brother filled the gas for Kayla's motorbike, the brother closed his workshop.

"Abang first on deck. Be careful to go home, if you don't dare to try, just stay here."

"But bang, his brother wants to go home now? It's raining so hard.."

"Babang's house is near, just back there" pointed him towards the front, while putting on his raincoat.

"Be careful deck, sorry!" Kayla nodded.

After the workshop brother left, Kayla did not go home immediately, she called my mother, told her whereabouts and asked her not to worry.

Kayla looked back at Alex, still clamoring, cursing and raging. She seemed not to care about the rain that soaked her body, she sat on the asphalt, probably from the fatigue of screaming. Kayla saw it.

Alex punched his fist into the asphalt many times, he lowered his head and his body trembled. Kayla notices Alex sitting at home in the rain, he continues to beat his fist mercilessly. Kayla was worried, if it continued like that her hand would be injured, but she didn't seem to care about it. It was raining this hard, and Alex did not move from there, as if he was torturing himself out of anger. Now Kayla is increasingly worried about her condition, and Kayla can't just stand by and watch her.

Finally Kayla left, Kayla had no umbrella or raincoat, she also let the rain that was rushing to wet her body.La walked gontai approached Alex with doubt, afraid Alex suddenly rampaged again.

Kayla clasped her own hand before she stretched out to touch Alex's shoulder, she hesitated but she couldn't bear to see Alex either. Kayla finally touched Alex's shoulder, but Alex did not react. Kayla looked down to see Alex.

"Al.." she exclaimed.

Alex looked up, and immediately pulled Kayla's hand that touched her shoulder. So Kayla who was shocked by Alex's sudden action was immediately sat in front of Alex.

Grepp

Kayla swerved, Alex hugged her right away. Alex buried his face in the recess of Kayla's neck and wrapped one of her hands around Kayla's shoulders, and the other at Kayla's waist. Alex was crying all over, no matter what, he moaned his cry loudly, bringing out all his heartbreak.

The sound of crying is like the cry of a child whose toys are broken or a child who is afraid of something. Her crying sounded painful and bitter, making even Kayla who heard it could feel the pain. Kayla could not bear to let go of Alex's embrace even though she was uncomfortable being held like this.

Kayla's heart was beating so fast that she was shocked at Alex's treatment. Kayla thought Alex was going berserk, but no. Now Kayla understands, Alex is injured and has a heavy burden that she has been holding for a long time, so she needs a backrest and also help for herself.

Her tears seemed to explain everything she was feeling, the tears that soaked her face also wetted Kayla's neck and shoulders. The cold rain blends with the warm tears Alex continues to flow. Kayla swallowed her saliva heavily, she choked, never imagined she would face a situation like this.

Alex, who is known to be arrogant, strong, stone-hearted and feared by people, is now crying bitterly on the shoulders of a girl. Only one who could not bear his burden would cry like this, even Kayla herself never cried like this in her arms other than when she was a child.

In the rain, Alex's tears and grief teach Kayla something. That we, weak beings, can never bear the burden alone. Burden incurred by our own actions, actions involving the feelings of others. We need backup, we need help and direction.

If we have no one to back up, or we ask for help, remember we still have a God who is always there and always ready for His servant. Come back to Him, and we will never accept rejection.

For Alex, however, Kayla is involved in the suffering and burden she is experiencing, so Kayla is responsible for helping her and strengthening her. Kayla is aware, although Kayla's initial goal is to want Alex to change for the better, but the way Kayla takes it is wrong. How could he make it happen just by waiting and being quiet? he has to help Alex and be with him, to change for the better.

Kayla will not let Alex feel alone anymore, she must help Alex out of this wound and suffering. As papa Alex expected, and as Kayla herself wanted too.

Slowly, Kayla's hand was raised to rub Alex's back which was still shaking from her cries. Let it go first, let Alex cry as much as possible until the chaos is gone and the burden on him becomes light.
