Alex's cry subsided as the rain began to subside. Kayla helps Alex get up and invites him to sit in the long chair in front of the workshop.
Silent.
Both are silent in awkwardness. Kayla then took her phone which she had previously put in her bag hanging on her motorbike. Kayla checks her phone in case she calls her. Sure enough, there are two incoming chats from mami's number.
📱
"Darling, where are you? Raining on the street?"
📱
"Lily baby, let's go home!"
Kayla then replies to chat mami.
📱
"Lily was shady in the noodle shop, Lily's motorbike ran out of gas so Lily was late home. Mami don't have to worry, Lily just returned home, the rain has also subsided."
Afterwards Kayla hung up her phone, then glanced at Alex. The man who was a few minutes ago crying in his arms was now silent down, he was daydreaming. Kayla saw his face battered from the fight earlier, and his hands were injured and bleeding as a result of his fist-punched into the asphalt.
"AI?"
Alex raised his head, glancing at Kayla. Kayla grabs Alex's injured hand.
"What's Al, why are you hurting yourself?"
Alex grimaced and moved his hand away. He threw away the face from Kayla's gaze, leaving Kayla astonished. Why is he like this, is he angry?
Kayla then turned her eyes towards Alex's motor, "Al, is your bike broken?"
Alex doesn't respond, Kayla looks at her watch. Now at 22:25, he should go home as soon as possible, otherwise my mom would be worried.
"You wait here, yeah, I'll go ahead and wait, get a cab."
"What's a taxi for?" Ask Alex flat.
"Make you go home, do you want to stay here?" Cirps Kayla.
"Gue's not coming home."
"What's? Not going home how?"
Alex did not answer. "Okay, we're going to the clinic, get your wounds fixed!" said Kayla.
"No." Alex answered briefly.
"Trus what do you want? I have to go home quickly, my mama's worried."
"Go home!" sahut.
"Trus I left you alone here? No, your condition is like AI. Don't take your wounds yet, let me anter!" Kayla extended her hand to Alex.
Alex looked at Kayla's hand then looked up at Kayla's face. "Aren't you mad at me?"
Kayla snorted, "Lupain all that Al, come on! I have to take a step home."
"Did I drive home to your house?"
"Yes, it's not! I'll get you a cab or find a deket clinic here. Your bike can't be used, right, taro here. I'll get you to use my bike"
Alex chuckles, "Thank you!" He said, then turned his face away.
Kayla was still standing in her place, she crossed her arms while looking at Alex.
"What?" Ask Alex sewot.
"Wait for you" said Kayla.
"I told you, I don't want to go home!"
Kayla grunts. Kayla's phone then rang, my mom called her.
"lya mi?" kayla said after picking up her phone.
"Where are you, baby, you all right?"
"lya mi, Lily's good. Don't worry, Lily wants to go home, mi!"
Alex grabs Kayla's phone and talks to Kayla's mom.
"Hello auntie?"
"Eh, who is this?" Kaget mami Kayla's.
"AL.." Kayla's great-grandson tried to take her phone, but Alex got in the way.
"It's Alex, aunt."
"Alex?" Confused mami Kayla.
"Aunty, can I go home to aunty?"
"Huh?" Hysterical Kayla.
"What?" Mami was shocked to hear it, she glanced at her phone for a moment then put it back into her ear.
"Son Alex? Emm... What did you say?" ask mami to make sure.
"Can I come with Lily back to aunt's house?" repeat, making Kayla and mami confused.
"What are you talking about, Al?" ask Kayla slowly.
"Emm. love her hp to Lily yes, aunt wants to talk." said Mami finally.
Alex complies, he returns Kayla's phone and Kayla hastily talks to her again.
"Mi?"
"Darling, what's up, you're with Alex? Why did he say he wanted to go back to our house?" ask mami ngegas.
"Emm. How come I, Lily was also confused" Kayla walked slightly away from Alex.
"Well, meaning?"
"Later Lily's story at home huh, Mi. Anyway Alex is not okay anymore, and he does not want to go home" Kayla said slowly.
"But baby, there's no way we're taking men into our house at night?! You're not really gonna take Alex to our house, are you, baby?" anxious mami.
"Lily what's going to happen, Mi? There's no way Lily left him on the street alone."
"What's really going on, honey? You're all right?"
"Lily is not papa. We'll talk about Lily and the house!"
"Emm.." Mom hesitates, "E.iya dear. Careful yeah!"
"yes, Assalamu'alaikum."
"Wa'alaikum greetings, dear."
After Kayla closes her phone, she comes back to Alex. "Come Al!"
Alex still lowered his head, Kayla then picked up the bike and turned on the engine. Alex finally moved, he stood in front of Kayla's bike.
"What else is it? Come aboard!" kayla.
"In the bonce? The dong guy who's a fucking chick!" alex protest.
Kayla turns off her engine so that their voice is not interrupted.
"Al, your hand hurts again, so you don't know I'm the badass."
"Gue can do it. Move over!"
"Don't stick around, go up!"
"Surge!" upset Alex, Kayla grunts and has to relinquish.
Kayla got off the bike and Alex tried to control the bike. Because of his injured handbooks, he had difficulty grasping the handlebar of the motor. He forced it on and made his injured hand re-emit fresh blood.
"Enough Al! Let me take it. Why would I be the one who screwed you? Look at your hands, still want to take the bike? What was the accident?"
Alex was silent, and he glanced at Kayla. Kayla, who was initially worried, smiled warmly at Alex.
"Al, do it this time! Let me screw you. We go back to my house, is that what you want?"
Without saying anything, Alex got off Kayla's bike and then let Kayla piggyback on her. They went home to Kayla's.
... ....
... ....
... ....
In front of the house, the mother paced back and forth agitatedly, while occasionally looking at her phone. It's almost eleven but the princess just wayangnya not yet home. Which mother does not worry if her daughter is still out at this late curfew, plus she will go home with a man.
Not long after, there was the sound of the motor. Mami rushes to open the fence for Kayla to enter, but she can be relieved to see her daughter safely home. And it turns out Kayla really brought Alex, not Alex who brought the bike but Kayla, Kayla who was piggybacking on Alex. This is certainly a question for mami, what is it exactly?
"Alhamdulillah dear.." muttered Mami.
Kayla parked her bike after Alex went down. Alex greets Kayla's mami hand, mami gasps at Alex's scarred face, and her hand as well.
"Oh my God, why is Alex?"
Alex just smiled wryly, he did not reply.
"Mi." Kayla shakes mommy's hand.
"Lily, what the fuck, baby, how come you're soaking wet? He said shady." sulking mami.
Kayla and Alex glanced at each other, "Mi, we go in first yeah, Lily will clear!"
After Alex came out of the bathroom and changed clothes, she asked him to sit on the sofa. Mami has prepared antibiotic fluid, sterile gauze, compresses and others to treat Alex's wounds.
"Sorry Auntie, I took care of it."
"Don't hesitate, Alex. Here Aunty help with medicine!" Alex hesitated to approach.
Suddenly the door creaks, Kayla comes out of her room rubbing her wet hair with a towel. Alex looked at him without blinking, his innocent face looked so dazzling in Alex's eyes, until Kayla sat in front of him and Alex realized.
"Mi, Alex has a change of clothes?" ask Kayla slowly.
"Have Om lwan, hehe.kan Om Iwan ever nginep here, his shirt truss missed. Thank God, I don't know if there will be a male guest."
Kayla chuckled, "Make it?"
"Don't suck!" alex sewot.
"Lily.." reprimand mommy.
"Sorry.." said Kayla, smiling.
"Come, who said he wanted to treat Alex's wound?" sindir mami, made Alex and Kayla glance at each other.
Kayla takes a bottle of antibiotics and gauze, she extends her hand at Alex, making Alex feel blushed but her heart warms up. After Alex gives her hand, Kayla starts applying antibiotic liquid to Alex's abrasive handbooks.
"Mommy's ready to eat!" mami said seraya.
"Mi, Lily ate at Nia's house."
"But Alex hasn't, has he?" ask mami.
Alex was clumsy, Kayla and her mom were waiting for her answer. She was embarrassed to answer yet while Kayla had eaten, her mom must have eaten too. Alex was hungry, because he hadn't eaten anything all day, but couldn't he be honest?
"Not bother, Auntie!" that's what came out of Alex's mouth.
"Eh. Don't hesitate! Lily, if you're done with it, take Alex to eat!" mami said.
Kayla glanced at Alex before replying, "lya Mi!"
After the mother disappears from Kayla and Alex's vision, Kayla goes on to treat Alex's wounds. He wraps sterile gauze on the wound that he has given antibiotic liquid. And Alex kept watching him.
"Thank you Miss Kissable." she said softly.
"Hm." short Kayla without raising her head.
Kayla's long hair that decomposes after bathing seems to interfere with Kayla's activities, she occasionally wipes the strands of her outstretched hair blocking her vision behind the ears. Alex felt so happy to be able to stare at her Miss Kissable like this, get this close and get her attention as well.
"This is why Al?" kayla asked, touching the plaster already on Alex's left thumb.
Alex smiled faintly.
(Flashback On)
Alex grimaced, the base of his thumb was injured by the scratch of his carving knife.he then looked for plaster to bandage his wound. While looking for plaster, he vented his annoyance at the items he touched. Starting from the drawer where he should have kept the plaster, then the table, chairs, even some of his paintings and wood carvings.he slammed all the stuff with annoyance.
After hitting Bryan a few minutes ago and being reprimanded by Kayla, Alex went straight to his private room behind the art room. he tried to calm himself and his mind by carving something on one of the poles in the room.But he could not focus and instead injured his hand.
After slamming his things, Alex threw himself onto the sofa. The memory of Kayla's gaze had reappeared in her mind. Alex knows Kayla doesn't like what she's done, but why doesn't she want to talk? Even though he could scold her right then and there, he had the opportunity to let out his annoyance directly at Alex, but he only reprimanded her once, and still did not talk to her.
Bima, Sandi and Vicky were not there when Alex hit Bryan brutally. Usually they are the ones who stop it when the action has exceeded the limit. They always worry about him when he loses control. But now, they were not even with him.
"Sampe when..?" murmured Alex lirih.
"Gue should what..? Can't I do something I like?"
"Can't I choose what I want?"
"Why is it all like this...?"
Alex closed his eyes, sighed heavily and tried to calm his mind. The head is also dizzy, because indeed this morning he did not eat breakfast, nor did he eat or drink anything until now. His thoughts were garbled, and **** his meal was gone.
Outside of something related to his mother, Alex has never been this upset. Just this time he thought about the feelings of others, before he was an indifferent and indifferent person. But now, for some time since his heart softened. he could not stop thinking about the feelings of his three friends whom he had let down. Also her Miss Kissable is still mad at her. Alex felt they meant so much to her, and now they're leaving her alone.
(Flashback Off)
Alex fell silent. It was afternoon at school, and it was frustrating and chaotic, but now she was grateful, Miss Kissable was by her side.
"AI?" ask Kayla again.
"Kok daydream again? I've dong, Iupain all that makes you stress." said Kayla.
Alex snorted a smile, "What looks like I'm stressed?"
"Banget!"
"Masa'? Try looking here?!" Alex looked at Kayla's face, asking her to see it.
"Now it's light, so don't daydream again!" sahut Kayla after looking at Alex for a while, then he looked down again.
Kayla was getting upset that she realized Alex was watching her, so she thought about having Alex. la smear cotton with antibiotic liquid and then pressed it firmly into Alex's wound until Alex squeaked.
"Aw! Intentionally huh?" alex protest.
"lya" said Kayla slab, making Alex chuckle.
"It doesn't hurt anymore? From now on you just, not grimacing anymore like the first time I held it."
"Oh, the doctor is this beautiful who ngobatin me, will not feel the pain."
"Hussh, how dare you wrestle me in my own house?! Ntar scolded mami loh." said Kayla slowly.
Seeing the strands of Kayla's hair back outstretched covering part of her face, Alex took the initiative to help wipe it and tidied it to the back of Kayla's ear.
"Ck, it's a real nuisance" she said as she touched Kayla's hair, prompting Kayla to look up.
Their eyes met, of course Alex did not want to waste this moment.he continued to look at Kayla carefully, her thick eyebrows, her shady eyes, her chubby cheeks, her chin and her lips.. Alex was amazed in his heart, what a beautiful sculpture dazzling. Alex's heartbeat is getting out of control.
As Kayla saw, Alex's gaze, which originally implied sorrow and burden, was now gone. His gaze changed, meaning he was calmer now, his thin lips which the girls said were very sensual. Although some scars adorn the good looks of his face. Relieved Kayla's heart, considering some time back Alex's condition is quite alarming.
"Ekheemm.." Both of them gasp as mommy clears. My mom was in front of them.
Alex looked down embarrassed, his face must have turned red at this time, Kayla's mom caught him staring at Kayla like that, would Kayla's mom be angry? thought.
"The food is ready, when you're done eating!"
Kayla was about to protest but mom interrupted her first. "Lily also has to eat, definitely laper again right? You are raining abis loh, so it must be angetin first stomach. Mommy made hot chocolate too."
"Thank you aunt, I'm sorry I took care of you" Alex said.
"Don't mind Alex, think of your own home!"
"What do you mean?" kayla protests as mom says 'consider home yourself'.
"yes, Alex will want to nginep here, so consider your own home just dong, eat drinking sleep need not hesitate."
"Thank you aunt." mom nodded once before it passed.
"Aante!" alex stops Kayla's mommy's steps.
"Don't tell my papa yes!"
Mami frowned then glanced at Kayla, Kayla blinked once gesturing for mami to approve.
"Oh, yes, Alex. Take it easy, you rest here. Aunty won't talk to you either."
Alex was relieved and thanked once again. Afterwards Kayla again continued to treat Alex's wounds, after the hands then to his battered face. Then they went to the kitchen for dinner.
Alex raised his eyebrows in wonder when he saw the clock showing at 23:38. He did not expect the night to be this late, even though when he came out of the house only seven nights. Alex and Kayla sat face to face at the dinner table. Alex saw Kayla was kind of awkward. Ah, so Alex feels bad to have to trouble Kayla and her mom at nights like this. But how else, if he came home tonight, his father would be anxious to see his condition, maybe papa would scold him too. Papa told me he was coming home from Australia tonight, so I'm sure you're home now. Just let me think that Alex was sleeping in his room, as usual when papa came home late at night.
"What do you want to drink, Al?"
"Hm?" confused Alex.
"You don't like chocolate, do you? So what do you want to drink? No coffee, you can't sleep."
Alex chuckled, "Where do you know I don't like chocolate?"
"Today I saw Miss Feli nawarin you chocolates and you refused, you said you don't like chocolate, right?"
"You see Miss Feli nawarin me a chocolate?" Kayla nodded.
"So you're watching me?" tease Alex, "Are you jealous?"
Kayla gave a small laugh as she shook her head, "What the hell is Al, what a piquancy."
"I made tea!" kayla said as she turned around.
After they finished eating, my mother approached them. "Eh mami hasn't slept?" ask Kayla.
"Hm." replied the mother as she walked closer to the two who had just moved from the dining table.
Mami patted Alex on the shoulder and smiled, "Son Alex, just rest in Lily's room, nant-.."
"Huh??" Alex and Kayla were shocked.
Mami gasped at the reaction of the two, then nodded. Kayla and Alex glanced at each other, and they were both embarrassed.
Silent,
..and tense.
Alex swallows the salivary, then looks back at Kayla's mom. Once again the mother nodded, so Alex felt astonished.
