It was a dark day, even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky. The mood was so saturated, but the face still tried to put up fun to please this girl in front of me.
Riliana Celeste, the girl who defeated anyone's beauty and made my eyes always sparkle every time she saw it. Long wavy hair, super sweet smile and wiggly eyelashes that can make the heart heat up when it flashes at me. Which freak is crazy about him? Yes, of course I am, Tristan Alexander.
"Lia! I'll take you home!" I hugged her from behind when we were at the school gate. "Come to Lia's house, let's go to Lia's house, let's go to Lia's house."
"Former, don't act like this." His face turned sour in the face of my attitude. "I can get myself on the bus, really."
Very cute reaction, to the point that I pinched his cheek slowly because not strong in staring.
"Don't be crazy, Lia. Which guy lets a girl as pretty as you go on a bus?" my lips in a shudder style.
Instantly the man who had been with Lia in the UKS, Kaivan and Sasha passed us both with a jutek look, as if declaring hostility. My eyes are no less cynical if invited to fight a gaze like this.
We both came out of this slum school building area. I asked Lia to go to the bus stop, then pulled out a cell phone to call my personal driver to pick us up. Even though she rebelled from feeling bad about my attitude, I didn't care because this is what gantle men are supposed to do. Next, came the jazz car with the driver I had called earlier. Put the passenger seat on Lia and let her in like a princess. Yeah, she's my daughter's master at all times.
"After graduating from Elementary School, you go to Aust is it fun?" Lia asked with both raised eyebrows.
We sat next to each other and I took the opportunity to embrace it. Before answering, I pressed a button on the door to provide a barrier between the driver and passengers with the aim that my conversation with Lia was not heard.
"Of course not, Lia," I replied with a gloomy tone of compassionate face. "You know for yourself if I go to Aust by parental coercion. I feel like I'm crazy being apart from you."
One hand Lia held my cheek and shook my face in anxiety. "Your parents know what's best for you. Don't be so."
My parents didn't give me the best thing, which was him. They just quietly said that this beautiful girl is too dirty and low for me. In fact, they are inferior because of this racist attitude. Forcibly, they took me to another country where my birth came from. Schooling, training myself to be thrown into the Olympics and ending up being an accomplished student just to prove that I was able to meet the parents' expectations which they also had to be able to meet my expectations.
Yeah, this is the end. I was next to Lia, nearby, with her, and I hope forever.
"Lia is a good-natured child. It's not wrong if I like you" I said as I hugged her like a bolster. "Do you like me too?"
"Former, it's not good if you behave like this." Lia pushed my face with both hands and I laughed with joy at it. "Yes-yes, I like you. Now, let's get it off!"
My seat became strapping like a guard dog and put up sparkling eyes greeting in reaction to the speech.
"You like me too?" much fun.
"Yes, Tantan ...."
I know that it is not seriously said. However, I still like to hear it and react as much as possible so that Lia laughs happily.
My nose began to pinched and my head was wiggled for a number of times. Perhaps, I will break the record of being the world's greatest human being if Lia continues to do this to me.
Whatever he does to me, it's a pleasure. Although just looking at it from afar, it was enough to make my life feel calm. His existence is like a thread of my psyche, which somehow continues to be bound to my heart.
Set us up in a small house with a large, empty courtyard that is usually used as a vegetable garden.
"Wait a minute, I don't live here anymore." Lia turned her gaze towards me after seeing the house from the window. "Sorry, I forgot to tell you my new address."
Instantly my face showed innocence due to confusion. "Oh so. I've been out of information since I left you."
My heart was broken when I saw her sad face. He doesn't have a cell phone because of the economic factor, and I should have met his needs quickly.
"Then, how about before we go back to your house, we do our first daggers?" I asked, but Lia immediately shook her head for refusing.
"I'd love to ..." His words paused for a moment. "But next time, Tantan."
"Why is that?" My face reflexively approached her in surprise if she was subtly rejected.
"I'm busy, and I need to finish. If not, it will cause trouble" Lia said as she pushed slowly away from her face.
My eyebrows went up next door because they were able to deduce her words so quickly and said, "Are you working part-time?"
His lips smiled faintly and denied my words with a sash. "No, Tantan."
"Want to?"
"Secret!" Again Lia pinched my nose which had become a habit if I felt anxious on my face. "Let's go now. Time is gold!"
Wrong, it should be 'Lia is gold'. However, I prefer to answer, "Time is not gold. If you want gold, just tell me."
We laughed together. To me, this speech is a serious thing. However, Lia must have thought that my words were just a joke.
Hutakan the driver barrier and let Lia tell the address where she lives. Then, the car runs again with a good distance. Until finally, we parked in front of an apartment building that made my forehead wrinkle. It's not much different than my family's private apartment building. How could Lia suddenly live in a place like this?
"I'm going in first. Goodbye, Tantan." Lia said goodbye to me who was still in a state of shock.
As she was about to grab the doorknob, I grabbed her hand to prevent her from coming out. "Wait, I'll come too."
His other hand began to shake my hand. "No need, Tantan."
"But, you're still not very vit. I must accompany you!"
"No need."
We're clutching each other. However, I don't want to make Lia uncomfortable with my dissemination and coercion. I finally tried to give in with a long sigh, then let him leave in a hurry.
Even though I don't know how her life has changed drastically, I still chant gratitude for not feeling the economic problems when I left her.
Had we been lovers in that childhood, I would have fulfilled all his needs of any form. But the facts are the opposite. So, if I try to meet her needs with the status of just a friend, it would be as much as lowering her self-esteem and making her ashamed in the prospect of receiving my help. I don't want to be considered that my gift is almsgiving. Everything I give is a gift, nothing else.
"Mr Alexander, are we going straight home?"
My eyes glanced sharply at the rearview mirror inside after the driver asked. My hand reflex was placed on the car door to support my face which was staring at Lia's apartment building.
"Mall Plaga near Central Park."
