MY LOVE IS SHACKLED WITH LIES

What's This Taste?

What's This Taste?

“Jeny, you take care of Friska yes.” said Krisna.

“Ngak. I don't want to. Not my business yes.” said Jeny ketus.

“You are the same girl Jen.” said Erik.

“I don't want to!!!” jeny said a little shouting.

“Ya. Gini aja's. Let's take the night in turn. I'll take care of Friska. Erik, Aldi and Irwan take turns to keep me company. While Jeny sleeps.” said Krisna gave the order.

All agreed with Krishna's orders except for Jeny. Krisna no longer had any sympathy for Jeny like that. Jeny's attitude always made her heart upset, regretful, and angry.

“Why should you take care of Friska?” ask Jeny to protest.

“I feel guilty because you are all members of my team and my responsibilities. Not only Friska, all is my responsibility.” said Krisna.

“You are the leader so you can dong give orders to others.” said Jeny did not want to lose.

“It's hard to explain to you. Try not to use emotions.” said Krisna began to get angry.

“You can tell Erik or who.” said Jeny was angry.

“Jeny! You can't be ordinary. We are all family in Cintalindo.” said Krisna angrily.

“Udah Jen, you should understand. You certainly do not want to wait for Friska to wake up. You don't want to, do you?” asked Erik, speaking up.

“Ngak. Not my business.” said Jeny cynically.

“You are like that but why did you tell Krishna to rule over the other members. Be careful when you talk to Jen. We should respect Krisna because he's our upperclassman and he's our squad leader.” Erik said.

“Why are you now defending Friska?” ask Jeny.

“This is not a matter of defense. It's a matter of our squad to achieve better results. We're not here for Jen's walks. We are here to fight to become a member of Cintalindo this year.” said Erik.

Now everyone is silent. They realized Erik's words were true. Jeny went into his tent.

“You're right.” said Irwan.

Aldi observed the map with the lighting of the bonfire.

“Our journey is still far.” Aldi said.

“I hope you keep your solidarity. Do not let you guys worsen the atmosphere.” said Krisna.

The three of them nodded. Long they waited for Friska to wake up. But Friska didn't wake up. Krisna orders Irwan to cook hot water to compress Friska. Krisna compresses Friska with her handkerchief.

He looked at his watch. It's 22:00. He saw that his team members were getting sleepy. Krishna stood up and saw Jeny in the tent. Jeny was asleep.

“Erik and Aldi you sleep first. Irwan stood guard with me. Later you guys take turns with Irwan.” said Krisna.

The two of them went straight into the tent and a while later Aldi was heard snoring. Krishna just shook his head. He saw Friska. Why didn't he wake up.

“Kak, Friska earlier why?” ask Irwan.

Krishna told me everything with Irwan. Irwan was also curious about what really happened.

At 00:00 Irwan alternated with Erik. Irwan wakes Erik and Erik sits next to Krishna in front of a bonfire.

“Friska hasn't woke up yet?” ask Erik.

Krishna stood up and approached Friska. His heart was still afraid of the loss that had enveloped him when Friska entered the abyss.

“Fris, wake. I felt different things after I almost lost you.” said Krisna.

Erik heard Krishna's words to be quiet. He looked out at the campfire. Krishna held Friska's hand.

“I've never felt such a painful loss before. Looking at you like this, I feel sad.” said Krisna.

Krishna looked at Friska who was still closed. His heart is so sick. But he did not want Erik to realize his feelings for Friska. Krisna's ego was still too high to admit it in front of his squad members.

Krishna was swept away in his daydream. His mind and heart were filled with Friska. The memory of his meeting to date is depicted like a movie in his delusion. Friska always caught his attention even though sometimes he himself called the girl strange.

“Fris, even if I try to describe love and explain at length, but will not be delivered because my love is so big. You are the only one and this is the first. In expounding this love, my mind lay helpless as to why it was you that I chose. Only this love alone can explain my love for you.” said Krishna in his heart.

Krisna did not know, why those words suddenly appeared in her mind. Though previously he never expressed love with such sweet words to any girl. Although those words were only spoken in her heart, Krishna was still confused by herself.

“This is love? This feel? Is this what first love feels like?” ask Krishna in my heart.

Krishna had never felt this kind of feeling towards Jeny. What he felt was that he had to constantly lie. Lying about his true feelings. Krishna kept thinking.

Eric looked at Krishna. He approached Krishna. Krishna was embarrassed.

“Sister likes it same Friska?” ask Erik. Krishna fell silent and lowered his head.

“Kakak is not wrong. Love does not know when and where it comes.” said Erik.

Chris looked at Erik. He was surprised that Erik supported him with Friska. Krishna himself did not believe that what he felt was love.

“Why did you say that?” ask Krishna.

Erik stuttered. He doesn't know how to. I want him to unlock Jeny's secret. But is it time. What if Krishna gets angry and the situation gets messed up. Though earlier Krishna had said that they could not make the atmosphere more chaotic.

“Can I ask kak?” Erik asked back.

“Lho was asked. What do you want to ask?” Krishna answered.

“How great is sister's love to Jeny.” asked Erik.

Erik's question seemed to hit Krishna's heart. How much do you love Jeny? Krisna actually knew the answer to that question. However, he was caught in a dilemma when it came to answering him.

If Krishna answers that he loves Jeny very much, he must add to his lies all along. If Krishna answers not to love Jeny, what will they say and how will their relationship continue. How about Rudi, surely he will make fun of him.

“I love Jeny so much kok.” said Krisna later.

Erik was still staring at Krishna's face. Erik felt his leader's answer was dishonest. Krishna was agitated by Erik's suspicions.

“Ya indeed Jeny is spoiled and childish. He was also often angry on this trip. But it's all possible because he's not used to it.” said Krisna covering up his lies.

Erik quiet. He undoes his intention to tell Jeny's behavior. Let Krishna know for himself, Erik thought.

“What's Rik?” ask Krishna.

“Nnothing brother. I was just wondering. May the relationship of brother and Jeny always last.” Erik said with a smile.

“Oh yes. Thanks ya Rik.” said Krisna astonished.

Krisna was actually suspicious of Erik's question. However, he did not want to discuss the matter any longer.
