Oh My Love's

Back to Riliana Caleste's POV

The whole school started to focus on their cell phones. I who do not have a personal mobile phone can only wander, even Hana who forgot to bring that thing is also the same as me.

Remembered by me yesterday's tense day, which was a visit to the house of in-laws or Sasha's parents. They welcomed me warmly, but the guilt lingered on despite apologizing earlier. It feels so lucky to be treated as a child by my good in-laws. My not-so-good body has also been helped by Sasha by prohibiting her parents from asking me to do small activities such as washing or wiping dishes like a filial daughter-in-law.

Not only that, he also offered me a little help such as replacing my picket schedule today or carrying my bag just to get to the front of the school gate. She must have pityed me, but I didn't feel it was a problem.

Before that, I was in a panic when Tristan who drove me home started trying to see me at my apartment. But I managed to ban it. Had it not been, Sasha's whereabouts would have been discovered and it could be that the secret of our marriage would have been exposed. Everything's gonna be a mess.

Actually, I was forced to have him drive me to the front of the apartment. My old house is closed and the key is in my apartment unit. If I try to get down when we get to the car, Tristan will know my lies about me not living there.

"Lia!!!"

I was just thinking about Tristan, and now he shows up hugging me from behind. When my cheek was about to be frowned upon again, I closed her mouth swiftly and pushed her slowly to let go of me. This kind of attitude has been a habit since childhood. I became concerned because there was no change from him regarding this childish behavior.

"I don't like you like this, Tantan. We are grown" I said softly.

"You don't like me like this? Take it easy, I'll still like Lia anytime."

Tristan's words sounded strange, but there was no need for me to think long. I consider his love to be affection between friends with an everlasting bond of friendship.

Suddenly, three girls with slightly familiar faces were blocking my path in the corridor to the classroom.

"I'm sorry, Lia!" they said in unison, then glanced at Tristan with a shudder, then ran away from me.

Hana was flabbergasted and I had great confusion in responding to their behavior.

"That's .. isn't Sasha's fan club member?" Hana asked while holding my shoulder.

"Okay, maybe. But, it's good that they apologize" I said as I continued down the road.

"How are you doing, Lia? Already improving?" Tristan asked as we entered the classroom. "Do I need to give you drugs just in case?"

I put this brown backpack on the chair, and then I said, "No need, Tantan." By the time I sat down and turned back towards Tristan, my eyes had become misfocused towards his ears. "I just realized you're using a black piercing."

His hand was holding the earlobe.

"That's naughty, Tantan," I said. "Awas, later teacher BK will punish you."

"Ah, they deserve to be sensitive if I punished them yesterday. Must be because of seeing this piercing," he muttered with his hand still holding the piercing.

I don't understand what he's mumbling and what he's thinking. Who did he mean by the word 'them'?

"What's up, Tantan? Who are you thinking about?" my question is what makes his mind go out.

"Nothing, really!" Tristan smiled in anguish. "You don't like it when I wear accessories like this?"

I took out the books and the pencil case, then looked back at her to reply, "That's what you like, just use it."

"Wrong," Hana, who suddenly turned her body towards me, then looked wrong when she looked at Sasha and turned in the opposite direction. "It should be Lia, 'That's what you like, do it'."

"What difference? We'll talk about earrings" I replied in confusion.

"I agree with you Dora's haired girl!" Tristan approves of Hana by flicking a finger.

And they ended up arguing with each other. My head tried to look straight ahead, then a little glance at Sasha who apparently also took a glance at me until we caused an awkward feeling. It seems he's been watching me since.

The hours of the lesson began and Mr. Teacher entered the class without commencing the assignment.

"We must say a prayer to one of your friends in another class, who is currently in hospital due to an accident," said Mr. Guru with a grieving face. "You don't forget to distinguish it, yeah."

Our heads all nodded even though there was no intention to visit the person. About who was in an accident? I hope he gets well soon.

For three days in a row, our homeroom teacher filled in the early learning. I got a little tired of the math he taught me.

As per the learning, a break hour was present that I had been waiting for. As usual, we went to the cafeteria to fill our stomachs. In fact, I also forced Tristan to eat delicious foods like pempek that he refused raw.

"Lia, do you want to visit my house?" Tristan asked while still adapting to chewing his forehead. "Come on."

"Can ... maybe," I answered immediately thinking about Sasha's permission. "I'll call you later using a landline."

Tristan gave me a thumbs up and started enjoying the food.

At the same time, I accidentally saw Sasha who was on the back bench and cornered in the canteen. He ate a small bun while reading a textbook that might be to prepare for an academic competition. He was so diligent, even the first semester yesterday was the time to attend the national science olympoade. At that time, it was rumored that the Olympic building was blown up by someone and took a lot of casualties. However, thank goodness Sasha managed to survive the victims and actually that's why we married because death can anytime pick up so there is no chance for us to fulfill my grandmother's late house request.

I tried to get myself closer to him. Because I had bought the same chocolate cake as Hana yesterday, and I gave it to Sasha until she looked at me in confusion.

"Eat, just a loaf of bread may not be enough to accompany your studies" I said as I placed the small cake next to her mineral water. "This is my thanks because you helped me yesterday at your parents' house."

Without waiting for a response from her, I turned around and went to my stool again where Hana and Tristan were watching my actions earlier.

"What are you doing?" ask Hana curiously.

Gawat, I forgot that he likes Sasha. Perhaps, jealousy will be present if I try to tell him.

"What's it about getting close to that arrogant guy, Lia? Later, it will be contaminated with you." Tristan chimed in with a full mouth. If I were ignorant like him, I would probably pat both of his cheeks until the contents of his mouth gushed out.

"Emm .. earlier I gave you a chocolate cake in your name, Hana," I replied hurriedly which made Hana moved. "I'm sorry if I didn't say."

"You're so nice, Lia!" praise Hana with a clear face.

Tristan swallowed his food. "Lia was too good at helping her friend's own romance. However, the friend next to him was not helped by him even a little."

"What do you want Lia to help with? Who do you like?" Hana immediately asked Tristan.

"Of course it's Lia who I like, Dora."

Hana and I frowned.

"Based on men who like to brag," Hana mocked while drinking mineral water that the brand is similar to Sasha's.

I guess, they're a soul mate because they have a lot in common. While I was their secret barrier.
