In the stillness of the deep night, Alex was still at home leaning on the back porch of Kayla's house.
"Al, you want to get out of your pain right? You want to heal the wounds of the past that have disturbed you all this time, right? Then start learning to control your anger!"
Alex knew he was angry. A little disturbed, his anger was immediately ignited. So far he has always failed to control himself when the anger has been burning in his chest.he often exaggerates because of his anger, he snapped at mama, punished his domestic assistants, bully students at school, and, and the worst thing is, she harassed Kayla in public.
All of that he did because he could not control himself when he was angry. Not infrequently he regretted his actions after that, he also condemned his weakness.
Kayla is right, Alex must start learning to control herself by holding back her anger. There had been many bad things as well as mistakes he made in anger, which eventually made him regret himself. There were many people he had hurt because of his anger. Kayla, Mama, and the people closest to her. Not to mention the parishioners at her school, they fall victim to Alex's anger.
Alex's daydreams broke when his hearing caught a small voice nearby, in the middle of his silence tonight.he turned to his right side, Kayla came and put a cup of tea in front of him.
"Shock huh?" ask Kayla.
Alex smiled, "Give me."
Kayla sat down next to Alex again, she also brought her own cup of tea. A few minutes ago Alex continued to whine at him, asking for company to sit and chat here, even though Kayla was very sleepy. Kayla then went to the kitchen to make tea and took some snacks to get rid of her drowsiness. Tea, and two jars of cookies he put on the floor, in front of them. No coffee, which is usually served to people who stay up late or night patrol, because Kayla does not like coffee, and Alex said he also did not want to drink coffee.
"So Al, what's the important thing you want to talk about now and can't wait for tomorrow?"
Yes, the reason Kayla complied with Alex's wishes and put her drowsiness aside was this. The thing Alex said was important, and should be talked about tonight. Kayla also wants to convey something important to Alex. Something Alex should know and consider.
Alex looked at Kayla seriously. "Miss Kissable, why are you saying..You want what's best for me?"
"Because what's best for you is best for everyone Al! For your parents, and for all the students as well as the teachers in the school" Kayla said.
"What's best for me, and do it all?"
"You live out all your bad habits! Learn to value people and stop bullying! I know it's not easy, but with you being nice to everyone, it's gonna make them appreciate you Al, they're gonna get you!"
Alex fell silent. So Kayla meant.. Alex has to change into a better Alex, the Alex that Kayla knows as Mr Strawberry? So it's still about Kayla's desire before, she wants Alex to change for the good of everyone, so?
"You really want me to change?" ask Alex.
"Actually not changed Al, but returned. Back to the old Alex. Actually you've come back to be you when we first met, but you haven't completely returned."
"Miss Kissable, I told you I could be Mr. Strawberry for you. You want me to act this sweet like everyone?
Kayla nodded, "Why not! Being the ruler of school doesn't mean everyone is afraid of you, Al. You look at the teachers, look at your father, they are honoured and respected because they value others. They were polite to everyone, friendly and humble. You can like them, Al."
Alex was silent, he still showed his reluctant expression.
"Al, you're the school owner's son, you can design the school. You can be a good or bad image for school and for your parents too. You can be a good role model and can also be a bad example for everyone in school. You have great power and influence in school, you can control all the circumstances that occur in school. The good name of your parents as the owner of the school is in your hands" said Kayla seriously.
"Mr Strawberry might just be for me, but Alex... for everyone, right?" kayla said with a smile.
"Sorry if I sound like you're Al, I'm just saying what I think should be sampled to you. Now it's up to you, if you mind not papa. The important thing is not to be a burden on your mind!"
Alex frowned thinking. "How could I change, what do they think of me? I lower myself, I'm weak, weak, and no longer insulted?!"
"Not inferior but humble heart Al, arrogant is not good. If you think with an arrogant attitude can make people respect you, it's wrong. We are humble, courteous, friendly, many cowering, will not make us look contemptible. It makes people disdain us, because they will feel appreciated by our attitude."
Alex is listening. "To be friendly does not mean to lose our assertiveness Al, nor to make people understand us, as long as we can place our attitude in every situation." continued Kayla.
"I know, you won't tell anyone , ngeremehin you, ngangep you weak, or not firm. You will still be rewarded and respected as long as you can behave in accordance with the situation you face, but that does not mean you always show your strength that makes people feel threatened." Alex took it very carefully.
"Do you think I can be like that?" ask Alex.
"Not think anymore Al, I'm sure! I'm sure you can do that, because you're a school figure. You are the son of a respected person in this city, and you will become a leader later! Even now you have inherited some of your papa business. You don't want to have to learn from now, do you?"
"Leader?" monologue Alex.
Alex chuckled amusedly, only to realize that he had been handed the responsibility of a leader by his own father. And he should start learning to be a good and responsible leader right, be it a company CE0 or restaurant owner, the position is not kidding. Moreover, the company and the assets he handled were not just one or two, but many. His father did want him to study adulthood in order to continue his various papa business spread throughout the country. Because he is the only heir to the papa.
Alex has to learn from now on! Being a leader requires not only intelligence, but also authority and wisdom. If his grumpy nature cannot be controlled, how can he control the situation and overcome problems in the future.
Alex stared in amazement at Kayla, how could Kayla think that far for Alex. Kayla thinks the best for him, for now and for his future. Kayla gives a solution to the problem, all of Alex's problems have now met a bright spot, only Alex decides whether or not to start.
All right, Alex will try. Learning to control himself and hold back his anger is not easy but Alex believes in Kayla, Kayla will help him and support him. Being her former self, a gentle and friendly Alex, who has compassion and care for those around her. The old Alex, before a painful traumatic event happened to her.
But. how did Kayla know that Alex used to be a good boy and not brandal like now? Didn't Alex never tell him about this, no one knew about his past other than his three friends, and not even the whole story Alex told them. Where does Kayla know?
"Miss Kissable, do you know that I used to be a no-no?"
Kayla nodded, "Hm. You're the Alex I know as Mr. Strawberry. Before you knew me, you were Mr. Strawberry who was kind to everyone"
Alex was filled with the kind words Kayla said, "But how do you know?"
"Father you tell me" Kayla replied honestly.
"Papa?" surprised Alex. "Why did I tell you about it, when, how come??"
Kayla chuckled, "So William really didn't tell Alex if he told me so much?" kayla murmured in her heart.
"Papa you couldn't get me home from the hospital that day, Al."
"Oh yeah?" Alex did not expect. "Why am I talking to you?"
"Many!"
"What aja?" alex asked a little tensely.
"Masa' I have to flashback the story, males ah!"
"Miss Kissable, what am I talking about? Unload all my disgrace huh?!" Alex is getting curious.
Alex was silent, he did not think his papa who always impressed firmly and did not talk much, was able to talk openly and seriously like that to Kayla. Her father even told her about their past as well. Didn't you. Papa ask Kayla for something too? His father was the person who did not like to waste time or talk unimportant.
"Miss Kissable, did papa I also ask you for something?"
Kayla raised her eyebrows, "Kok you think that's it?"
"My father is not a humble person if not the same as his business colleagues, so it's strange if you tell all that to you without any meaning, you're new to know!"
Kayla nodded, "You're a real man, your papa is a professional businessman. But he can also be a conversation partner, even though rada awkward."
Alex frowned frowning in response, making Kayla laugh because her facial expression looked adorable in Kayla's eyes.
"lya Al, papa you want me to get you" Kayla said seriously making Alex raise his eyebrows in surprise.
"Your father also knew there was a change in you, and he was happy to see that. He thinks I'm the one who's a positive influence on you, so he wants me to help you change."
Alex snorted, "So.papa I asked you to do me a favor? You want me to change that because papa asked for it?"
Kayla shook her head, "Not Al. You know, long before I met your papa, before your papa asked, I really wanted you to change, I wanted to help you from myself. When your papa asked me to, I felt great support. That's it."
Alex looked at Kayla inside, "You serious?"
"Hm. But inget Al, I don't want you to change, I just want to see you back to being yourself, who you were! The point is I want the best for you, and that's also what papa you want."
Alex's heart warmed to Kayla's words. The remarks added to Alex's inner spirit, and added to his confidence in his decision. Not in vain they had a long chat tonight, Alex felt better and relaxed.he had already found a solution to his thorny problem, and he was about to begin the process.
This is the beginning of change.
The solution Kayla gives, Alex will take to start a beginning in her. To start the change, it has actually already begun. Changes to him, to the point of view of people about him, and also to the name of the school. For the good of everyone, especially himself.
"Thank you, Miss Kissable" he said wholeheartedly.
"Hmm.." muttered Kayla without moving.
Alex grunts a smile at Kayla. Kayla sat cross-legged with her chin pressed with her hands resting on her knees, her eyes closed tightly and she seemed so sleepy.
"Well you asleep?" ask Alex slowly.
Kayla did not respond. Alex shook his head himself, feeling evil for asking Kayla to stay up late to accompany him to talk. Poor girl this beloved, he fell asleep in a sitting position like this because obeying the wishes of Alex. Slowly Alex grabs Kayla and releases Kayla's hand from her chin. Alex then rests Kayla on his shoulders, slowly and carefully without disturbing Kayla's sleep.
"Sorry I'm Miss Kissable, sleep that shit yeah..!" mumbling slowly.
Alex began to close his eyes, he smiled while inhaling the sweet aroma of strawberries from Kayla's hair.He swallowed his saliva many times, occasionally he opened his eyes and glanced at Kayla. Fuck Mr Strawberry!
Alex is so happy to be this close to her Miss Kissable. His feelings were so relieved and calm, considering the many things that had happened between them. There were many problems that she faced, and Miss Kissable was her current focus. Miss Kissable was present in her life, exerted a great influence on her, accompanied her, supported her, and became the back of her heart. Alex is very grateful, he hopes to always be like this with Miss Kissable.
Alex glanced at Kayla again, shook his head and looked at the innocent face of Kayla, who was asleep on her shoulders.
"Miss Kissable, how could you sleep in front of me? You know me, but you're not afraid and have no doubts at all like this in front of me? That's how trusting you are with me, not afraid of me?"
"You're beautiful, I'm also a normal guy. You think I'm easy what's going on in your deck? Which lion does not refuse if treated prey arouses the taste of kayak gini, I can tell you when aja loh." whispered.

Kayla frowned with her eyes still closed, she felt something warm on her cheeks.La then opened her eyes slowly while touching her cheek which was blocked by something warm. When Kayla opened her eyes, she looked up at Alex's face, which was so close to her, looked at her intensely and something warm was Alex's palm stroking her face. Kayla was surprised, she raised her head while retreating from her sitting position, and slapped Alex on the cheek.
Plakk!
"Brengsw*k!" Kayla stood up in anger.
Alex, surprised by Kayla's reaction, stands up and holds her hot cheek from Kayla's slap.
"I believe you, Al! Even though you were insolent with me, but I believe you can change, you're a good guy. But what are you doing, you are ruining my trust! I hate you! Go you!" he said while turning his face away.
"Miss Kissable.." rue Alex.
"Don't show your face in front of me again!" warn Kayla again.
"Pliss kicked me first..!"
"No! I have been horrified by you a lot, I have given up on you, I have given you the opportunity many times Al, but you fucked me again!"
"Miss Kissable. I'm sorry about me.." Alex said as he grabbed Kayla's arm.
Kayla jerked him and left without saying anything more.
"Miss Kissable..!"
