It was like being a celebrity in the blink of an eye. However, this feeling was no pride at all. Instead I was so embarrassed, because I was walking home from school with two of the most popular men in school! It really made me want to disappear from the world.
Everyone looked at us, I was with Tristan and Sasha next to Hana. I wanted to walk backwards to avoid them from being the center of attention. However, Tristan embraced me intimately and I felt bad about letting go in public as well as being crowded.
I know that Hana appears confident with Sasha, because she is showing that she has really been able to get her heart even though it has been compromised once.
"I don't know where your new home is, Sasha. Therefore, let's go home together, who knows the path of our return journey is the same," Hana asked cheerfully in holding Sasha's hand.
The jutek man glanced at me at a glance, then replied, "It seems like he can't. Next time."
A disappointed look was shown to Hana. Of course, the reason Sasha rejected him was me. We are a department, and automatically my return road with him is certainly the same.
"Lia, you want to come home with me, don't you?" Tristan flashed a big smile, hoping that his request would be granted.
My eyes glanced to the left and replied, "Sorry, Tantan. Next time, will you?"
Now take turns the pouting-faced Tristan. At a time like this, I actually racked my brain so as not to walk in one direction with Sasha at the same time. I shouldn't have turned down Tristan's request and asked him to go take me for a walk first before coming home.
"Why next time if you can now?" Tristan moved his lips like a baby who lost candy. "Come, Lia. This morning, I saw you walking with this flat face before entering school. I'm sure you guys have the same return line. And I won't let you guys be together."
So pimply. I thought only Hana would scrape our truth out a little like that. Apparently, Tristan did not lose knowing. Just a little bit of my carelessness with Sasha, has made us nervous about the disclosure of secrets that are being closed tightly.
"Based on a child" Sasha said, leaving with both hands in her pants pocket.
Hana was just left behind by him. But, Sasha had to go home first so as not to be with me again like this morning.
"How about going home, we buy some ice cream first?" I said by changing the topic and managed to make the reaction of these two people change completely.
"I'll just go home. Thank you for your invitation, Lia," said Hana as she walked away with a forced smile.
Unfortunately for him. Let's just hope their relationship is okay until Sasha and I are separated.
"Alright, Lia. Let me do it" said Tristan eagerly.
"Your money is still on me. Look at this." Out of his pocket, I took out a roll of change.
Suddenly, Tristan took the money from my hand. Then, give it to a passer-by just like that with a little annoyance.
"Well, now I can practice."
This super jolly man's attitude is hard for me to guess. On the sidelines of his humorous nature, there are times when looks jutek or angry that suddenly appear without being shown to me. For example, like when giving money to just any child.
In short, I went with Tristan to a nearby grocery store that sold factory-made ice cream generally. In this way, I can buy some time to wait for Sasha to come home.
"Former, do you remember that when you were a kid, you always followed me like a chick to the mother?" I asked by holding back laughter so that the atmosphere between us did not feel crisp.
Tristan pinched his invisible beard. "That was when we were kids. In fact, even now I'm still tailing you."
Instantly the brown ice cream I carried dripped slightly in my hand before saying, "It seems, now you're more suitable to be called a partner who always sticks to me."
My eyes bulged in shock as Tristan licked the drop of ice cream on my wrist with the tip of her tongue.
"Bas with the little boy!" my scorn while pinching her cheeks again and again, while this man only laughed in response to my tantrums.
A long time has passed. I felt that it was enough to spend time with Tristan and decided to go home even though the edges had to be forced to go home with him. By the time I got to the apartment, I hurriedly took out the contents of the bag inside my private room and opened a novel from the library.
Deja Vu: Lilian Ashley. It's cliche, but it seems interesting. Just as I was about to read the prologue, the door of my room was knocked several times.
"Lunch, I've cooked it" Sasha said after I opened the door.
Without thinking any more negatively, I went straight out of the room and sat on the dining table chair in the kitchen while carrying a novel. There are spicy and pickled chicken. Sasha is very good at determining the food menu. Not like me when the picket schedule yesterday the day after tomorrow had cooked tofu soup with seaweed.
While eating voraciously, I continued to read the novel which was the first time for me. So enthusiastic and tense when the main character has been told to die many times, but continues to rise.
"Focus on eating. Put the book down."
My focus began to break when Sasha gave the order that made my mood break. I followed him and ate in a dull silence.
"I'm not dating Hana" she said before bribing a spoonful of rice.
Apparently, he asked me to put this novel down so that we could talk seriously. No wonder his behavior towards Hana feels the same as usual and certainly does not deserve to be called a lover.
"Lantas, what did you tell her that she stuck to you like that?" I was in a state of chewing.
Head shakes. "Just thank you."
Sillier. She is so good at academics, but not good at picking words to reject a girl who adores her. In this way, Hana felt like she had a glimmer of hope in grabbing Sasha's heart. Just look at this man in front of me, pictured that he didn't like it until he gave me that info.
"Well, the point is, don't break her heart with that subtle rejection of yours" I replied with concern. "Don't think about me. If you want to date, do it."
"Then you thought that I would allow the same thing as you?" reply by squinting the eyes.
"What do you mean?" I did not lose my eyes on him so sharply. "I wasn't expecting to date. Don't guess anything negative about me!"
TING!
Suddenly a bell rang indicating a guest was present. Spontaneously, I went to the door and opened it until one of the lobby staff brought me a bag.
"For Miss Lia of Mr. Tristan," said the middle-aged man and I immediately accepted his luggage after saying thank you.
I went back to the kitchen table and took out a small bag containing three stacks of magenta novels. Each of them has a title, The Cate, My Cate and lastly Your Cate. From the look of the cover alone is interesting and surely Tristan chose the best novel for me. With a feeling of pleasure, I entered everything back and intended to thank through a text message to this sender.
Sasha started to get up after finishing her meal quickly and re-entered her room. I couldn't explain his attitude and continued to eat impatiently to read all these novels. When else do you learn by entertaining, right?
BRUK!
Suddenly, a thick novel slammed not too hard right next to me.
Sasha stood next to me and said, "That's all teenage novels that are not suitable for you to practice learning. His style of diction is informal language. Read this novel of my gift that is suitable as your learning activity."
My eyes glanced at her gifted novel, "Lily of the Valley."
Alright. I think I should follow Sasha's advice.
"You said that you didn't expect to date. Look at the men around you. They treat you like a lover and give you full hope" Sasha said before opening her mouth to thank her for giving her novel. "If you really don't want to be in a relationship with them, don't be hopeful."
I'm a little clack. "Who do you mean 'them'?"
"Pretend not to know." He stepped away and continued, "Who else if not Kaivan and Tristan."
My body turned to look at him who was about to return to the room. I was eager to give him a scratch for such a strange warning. It is impossible for me to date my old best friend or even with a man who already has a lover and I consider as my own brother.
"Hey, you're jealous to prevent me like that?" godaku with a slanted smile and managed to make him sculpt in front of the room door.
Finally, we looked at each other with different reactions. Satisfied for me to work on that question. I hope he realizes that his warning is so disturbing to me.
