MY LOVELY AUTHOR'S

MY BELOVED AUTHOR PART 2

            “Why do Author's lips frown?” Arata asked me with a smile and a teasing look that I saw while he was filming.

            I threw my face away, turned my face away from Arata's gaze and looked towards the car window. Because of this incident, Rama asked me to take a car with Arata and drive me back to my apartment with Arata. While my car was delivered to the apartment by Kak Rama's man later.

            “Au-thor, why frowning??” Arata asked again and the question only became more upset. At a time like this, I felt that Arata was not an understanding man because he knew I was upset but was teasing me.

            “Arata!!” Brother Rama rebuked Arata in my place. “Do not disturb Miss Asha like that!”

            “This brother is my manager or Author manager?” reply Arata who realized that Kak Rama was defending me.

            “I'm your manager, Arata. But. . Can you understand the position of Miss Asha who is surprised and maybe currently confused what to do.” Rama read exactly what was on my mind.

            Arata suddenly pulled my arm and grasped it tightly. “Author, look at me!”

            I tried to pull my arm without looking at Arata, but Arata's free-moving other hand touched my face and made me look at him.

            “Author, don't say you're sorry to say if you accepted me as your lover!”

            I took a deep breath and exhaled loudly before I replied to Arata's words that had upset me, confused and unable to think properly. “You didn't see the situation earlier, Arata?”

            “How situation?” Arata turned around asking me with his innocent face.

            “You asked me to be your lover during a live broadcast at a press conference that is being viewed perhaps by everyone in the country. I have the choice of refusing in that situation and putting your face to shame almost in front of everyone in this country.”

            Arata put a smile on his face hearing my annoyed remark that I had been holding back since.

            “Why are you smiling? You really did such a cheating act earlier, you really suck!!!” sanku.

            “I did it on purpose, Author.”

            I pulled out my hand that was in his grasp and was about to hit Arata back at the embarrassment I had received earlier. “You!!!!

            Buk. Arata took my punch just like that and still looked at me with a smile on his face. The happy smile of a little boy who managed to get what he wanted in a long time.

            “It was. . . I wouldn't have done that if Author hadn't come. “Arta opened his mouth and began to give an explanation for his crazy actions that asked me to be his lover in public and maybe in front of all people in this country. “I was just going to say if I've liked Author for a long time and make people understand that I've been getting close to Author for a long time. But. .”

            “But what?”

            Arata changed the grip of his hand on my arm by tightly grasping my palm. While looking at the palm of my hand that was in his grasp with eyes full of love like the images in a novel that I used to imagine.

            “I was just going to announce if I'd liked Author for a long time. Was so. But who would have expected Author to actually come up to me at such a press conference to even fall again among my fans.” Arata held back his little laugh I think he was remembering how I fell. “Haha. It's funny to remember this incident. It reminds me of when I came to be a guest star on Author.”'s signature show

            I pulled my hand to find Arata's gap that wasn't so tightly grasping my hand. “Don't you ask me to come to you if I feel overwhelmed by your little secret??”            

            “Hahahah.” Arata's laughter that had been held by him was now heard more clearly after hearing my words to him. I threw away my face not wanting to be further humiliated by Arata any further.

            I glanced sharply at Arata. “What?”

            “I did ask you to run up to me, Author. But I didn't think you'd come straight to me at the press conference as dramatically as the scenes in the drama I'd played. Seeing you come and fall like that earlier. . inevitably I feel really happy. You finally got out of your apartment and you wanted to see me. You finally got out of your own cage and ran to see me. Clearly. . . I felt moved until I hugged you tightly.”

            I turned my face wanting to see Arata's expression as he said that. His eyes, his smile, everything Arata showed me right now was a form of sincerity that came from within his deeply touching heart.

            “A-I didn't run to you.  I'm there in my car, Arata.”

            Arata laughed at my words and then pulled my hand again. This time Arata pulled my hand tightly, making my body move towards him and hugged me tightly.

            “Hey, Arata!!! Why are you hugging me again??? There are Kak Rama and Nara in the front seat!!” I tried to release Arata's embrace on my body, but. . . Arata just tightened his hands on my body and made his embrace tighter.

            “Hey, Arata!!” yell again.

            “Kak Rama, Nara, have you guys seen anything?” Arata ignored my angry cries mixed with shame and asked Kak Rama and Nara.

            “We didn't see anything, Arata.” Sisters Rama and Nara answered in the same sentence simultaneously as if understanding the meaning of Arata's question to them.

            “You!!!” I'm still trying to escape Arata's embrace. “You really are a bitch!!!”

            “Yes, my beloved Author. I'm a bitch but you like shitty shit.” Arata said in a sweet tone to me.

            “Sial you, Arata!!! Off!! Want to see when you hug me like this and make Nara and Kak Rama feel bad in the front seat.”

            “Until I'm satisfied, Author. Ever since you locked yourself in your cage, I've missed you so much, Author. So let me hug you to change my longing for you.”

             Unable to escape from Arata's embrace, I finally shut up and accepted the situation. But. . .in my mind right now, I really feel myself. Damn it my life. Now. . .Arata set me up and made me his lover in front of everyone in this country. Now inevitably.. . I really became the lover of the famous actor Arata and may become the enemy of many women in this country.

            Narrator’s POV

            Bora throws her phone fiercely against the wall until the screen is completely destroyed. Bora felt completely unacceptable with what he had just shown in Arata's press conference. Bora really didn't think Arata was making a confession to Author Wallflower when everyone in the country might be looking at his press conference.

            “Why him?? Why not me??”

            The sentence continues to be muttered by Bora who really cannot accept the reality if the Wallflower Author has now officially announced his relationship with Arata.

            “I'm prettier, I'm more perfect, I'm more famous, why not me you choose, Arata??? Why not me? Why not me?? Didn't you see all my efforts during this time to chase after you???”

            Bora continued to feel annoyed and angry. Bora feels all her efforts have been ruined due to the presence of Author Wallflower in Arata's life.

            “If only, you were not in this world, Asha!!!”
