A week passed, Alya was used to living alone in London. He would occasionally exchange news with his family in Paris via video link. Alya also began to run his learning activities on campus.
Fortunately there is a new friend Hellen Alya, he so feel at home despite sometimes getting insinuations from his classmates.
The two always go together when there is no class or just lunch in the cafeteria. And since Christian's sudden departure that night, Alya hasn't seen him again.
"I don't even know who to ask... " Inner Alya. He doesn't have Christian's phone number or at least Daniel's.
"Al you daydream, "The voice and clap of Hellen in Alya's hand resuscitated the girl. The faithful girl wears thick box-shaped glasses.
"really? I was thinking about the lesson. Oh yeah Hellen, do you know which Luke is? " Hellen scrunched her forehead, she was surprised Alya asked a man to her. They were only on campus for one week.
"Why did Al ask Luke? He's the head of our college basketball team. " Slightly flat Hellen answered Alya's simple question. Alya takes it for granted.
"The lecturer asked me to be his assistant in preparing for the painting competition. Even though I tried to resist, he threatened to reduce the value of my duties Ell. " Alya's call was deliberately made to make it easier to call the name of his friend.
"Oh so, "Hellen nodded in understanding, a smile was created on her face that had been sad.
"Let me take you to see him, he's usually on the basketball court. " Hellen pulled Alya's arm excitedly, making the girl could only chuckle softly.
They had to walk down the corridor in order to reach the indoor basketball court. It was more precisely next to the meeting hall. The main team and the upholstery appear to be focusing on training. Alya just saw the crowd there, many students watching them. Jawara kebang campus.
"That's it! " Hellen pointed to one of the tall, slightly skinny men, his sleeveless basketball jersey. The headband on his head adds a handsome and charismatic impression.
"You have to be careful with him Al, Luke is a player. " Whispers Hellen in Alya's ear, warning his friend not to fall in love with Luke.
"I understand Ell. " Alya's footsteps away from Hellen, he intends to approach Luke who is having a drinking break with other basketball members.
A few pairs of eyes looked at Alya dislike, why the geeky girl seemed to dare to approach the basketball team.
"Are you Luke Adison? " Tanya Alya made sure, Luke looks busy wiping his sweat on the neck and face.
"Yes, who are you? " It was not Luke who answered but one of his friends.
"Luke, Sir Alex asked me to be your assistant in preparation for the painting race. My name is Alya Shamare, you can find me if you need help." Hearing Alya Luke's explanation paused his activities, a quick glance at Alya who stood stiff.
"All right, is there more? " Alya felt subtly driven away by Luke.
"No, pardon. " Alya left a crowd of college basketball athletes who were always in the puja.
"Well, it looks like Sir Alex deliberately tortured you Luke. He chose the worst assistant for our master painter." The words of contempt towards Alya were so obvious. Luke just silently stared at Alya's back which seemed not disturbed.
"When do we finish training? " Luke shifted the subject.
"Half hour. " Answer to Luke's friend who has been active since.
"Tell the coach, I have a sudden assignment. " Luke snatched his bag and bottle. He ran small to chase Alya and also Hellen of course.
Alya and Hellen who initially wanted to go to class were stopped by Luke's call. Luke stopped with a breath of breath. Hellen squinted his eyes not liking Luke to chase them.
"Miss Shamare, "Come on Luke, her hands are still resting on her knees.
"Just Alya, just call Alya. " Said Alya justifies her nickname so Luke doesn't need to be formal with her.
"Ah Alya, when do you have time? I'd like to find some paint colors that have run out. " Task Luke, making Alya think of finding some free time. While he has started active as a freelance volunteer.
"I'll let you know when the time comes. Give me your cell phone number. " Alya reached out her palm asking for Luke's phone.
Luke pulled out the latest phone from his tote bag. Then Alya quickly typed in the numbers, and the ringing of her phone rang out loud.
"Oh, we'll excuse you. " It was not Alya who was Pamit but Hellen forcibly pulled Alya's arm. Luke quickly receives a cell phone call from Alya's hand.
At his desk, Christian was leaning his head against the oversized chair. A notification came in via email. He opened the contents of a message from his sister Theo, Christian's hand clicked the play button on the video.
"I'm sending this to just a memory, you're coming so late Chris. " Type Theo invited a faint smile on Christian's lips.
A seventeen-year anniversary of his sister. Theo is seen giving the first piece of cake to a beautiful girl with glowing red hair. As soon as Christian freezes, he sees clearly a pretty face with blushing cheeks as a result of holding back any possible embarrassment.
"Alya, "Lirih Christian, now she remembers what happened on the porch of her family home. Where Christian unknowingly kissed Alya's sweet lips. Yes, although half-drunk Christian saw an angel walking quickly towards him.
Beautiful, one absolute judgment for Alya. That night Alya did not hide her face from anyone. Christian gets up from his chair, he hastily snatches the suit and car keys. Daniel passed by the door confused by Christian who left while working hours were still going on.
"Chris where are you going? " Task Niel following Christian's quick move.
"Who? " The two stood in front of the elevator to wait. The elevator rises from the bottom floor of the lobby.
"Alya, she's the girl I stole from her. " For Christian there is no secret that he can hide from Daniel, or even Daniel will immediately find out.
"You crazy Chris? He was still young, and again didn't Theo like him? " Daniel's question has moved Christian's heart. He looked at the face of his best friend and secretary deeply.
"Yes, I think I'm crazy, Niel. How many days not seeing him makes me restless and tormented. " Daniel gaping made Christian, since when his best friend fell in love with a stranger, the girl they just met.
Daniel is silent, he has no intention of pursuing or accompanying Christian. Though he wished Christian himself first without thinking about his heart. Daniel is just afraid Christian is making Alya a runaway. He is well acquainted with the figure of lord Rodrigo, a middle-aged man who is resolute and fearsome when facing his enemies.
On the way Christian thought about how to get Alya. Not without reason Christian had been away from Alya, he was afraid he could not control his curiosity towards Alya. And ended up hurting the girl's heart.
After learning that Alya whom he kissed at Theo's birthday party, a smile never goes away on his handsome face. It was as if Christian was dreaming of something more than Alya.
The car stops right in the parking lot of the campus, he can see Alya is walking out at the follow of a young man.
"Who is he? " Christian's hand clutched the steering wheel until it brought out his knuckle.
"Alya, "Luke is after Alya who is forced to stop in order to reward his interlocutor.
"What's up Luke? " Alya's face if up close is very beautiful even though wrapped in thick glasses. Luckily Luke could see clearly.
"Where are you going home? I can take you Al. " Alya glanced at the clock on her left wrist. He's almost late.
"Me,,, "
"He came home with me. " The heavy voice interrupted the conversation of the two. Alya looked at Christian question markingly. What's that guy doing at his college?
"Certainly Al? Too bad, but I want to buy the paint right now. " Luke scratched his temple feeling disappointed not to be with Alya.
"Tomorrow Luke, now I have another job. " Alya smiled thinly then said goodbye first.
Alya got into Christian's car without denying it. Because Alya thinks Christian can get himself to his destination.
"Where are you going Al ? " Christian opened his voice when the car had split the road.
"Nurse, please take her there. " Pinta Alya hopes Christian is willing, he himself said he will bring Alya home earlier.
"What are you there for? " Cristian asked curiously.
"Being a volunteer, one of the mandatory off-campus activities. " Alya explained his goal.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. You can't be a part-time worker, your family's very well established. " Alya stared intently at the man beside her, she didn't like someone mentioning how her family background was.
"stop! " pinta Alya suddenly, made Christian astonished.
"isn't it far away? " christian plainly responded to Alya's request.
"i'm going to take a cab, I don't like you calling my family.We're not as familiar as Mr. Christian. "Alya's words managed to trigger anger in Christian's chest, he turned to the shoulder of the road to stop his car.
Christian's hand gripped Alya's arm quite hard, successfully making Alya grimace.
"Did my kiss mean nothing to you Al? " that question, Alya thinks Christian doesn't remember what happened. Alya threw her gaze towards the front, she avoided looking at Christian.
"answer Al ! do I have to touch your body to get us tied up, and you're open to me. " Christian is anxious to see the attitude of Alya, a girl who is very closed and does not want to be approached by anyone including Theo's sister.
Theo had told me that the girl he liked rejected his feelings, because he did not want Alya to stay away Theo was forced to bury her in his love.
"You hurt my sister Al. What kind of man do you expect? until you lock the door of your heart. " Alya is silent. Until this moment he himself does not know the real reason to close the feelings for anyone even his own family.
christian's question hangs without getting an answer from Alya. Christian throws Alya's hand over the girl's lap.
"get down! I'm free to talk to you. You're like a statue. " Alya complied with Christian's wishes, he got out of the man's car as quickly as Christian drove his car away from Alya.
"i don't know why my heart has hardened, maybe I'm just disappointed in the fate that has played with my life. What thirteen years without daddy incised such a deep wound in my heart? then how am I supposed to get out of this bottomless hole? "
Alya sees the pedestrian sign lights are on, she decides to go across the street.His intention to go to the nursing home must be delayed, now Alya needs an outlet.
Alya rarely brought his cigarettes, what else if he went to campus.he was forced to buy a new one at the minimarket.and began to smoke a stick in the chair provided by the retail company.
