“Si Crazy Leopard is a lousy shooter,” Alexa scoffs while taking care of my wounds.
I didn't answer, just looking at her upset face reflected in the mirror in front of me. Then put on a smile.
Right now, I'm in Alexa's apartment. I circled the padangan to all corners of the room. If you pay attention, there is not much furniture in the apartment.
Meaning true that said Rama, that all this time Alexa also lived to move around looking for me.
A bullet full of blood lay inside a small container on the table. Alexa got that bullet out of my shoulder.
“The eggs didn't penetrate too deep anyway, but your wounds are pretty bad.”
I grimaced in pain, and Alexa instantly stopped the movement of her hand.
“Sick?”
I'm nodding.
“It's over soon. Wait for... Yep. It's settled.”
I glanced at my shoulder that had been bandaged neatly by Alexa. Then I looked for clothes to wear. Because right now I'm cold because the top of my body doesn't wear a piece of cloth.
I picked up the shirt, but as I was about to wear it, my shoulders felt unbearable pain.
“You want me to help?” ask Alexa.
I don't say it, but I don't forbid Alexa's hand to help me put on an ivory-white shirt.
“All this is my fault,” said Alexa who was buttoning clothes.
“I'm sorry for ever believing in Harsa. I regret. Had I realized from the beginning, maybe none of this would have happened. Harsa won't be able to get Kirana, and you won't get hurt either.”
Alexa's hand stopped when she was about to close the top button of my shirt. Her black, teary eyes stared fixedly at me and a single feather ran across Alexa's cheek.
“I beg your pardon, Balin. I'm stupid, have seen you from the wrong point of view.”
“You are stupid,” I said bluntly and gave a smile.
Alexa's lips developed a wide smile, as well as growing streams of flowing tears.
“There's more I can do for you to forgive me?”
My thumb wiped the tears that soaked Alexa's cheeks, I shook my head and said, “It's enough. You made up for all your mistakes tonight.”
“But our efforts failed.”
“We are just out of luck. If only Karina's book was held by Juan, it probably wouldn't be like this.”
“Padahat a little more we managed to dismantle the ugliness of Harsa.”
“Yes, a little more,” my review.
Alexa's fingers were still holding the buttons, slowly squeezing, and pulling my shirt. Got me dragged closer to Alexa. It was so close that I could hear her heavy breathing.
“I love you, Balin,” whispered.
Alexa didn't give me time to answer, because she kissed me on the lips. Her eyes closed, and Alexa's fingers moved down the nape and stroked the back of my head.
I slightly opened my lips, allowing Alexa's tongue to enter my oral cavity and play wild there.
My arm grabbed Alexa's body, asking her to get closer to me and return the kiss with no less fire. Our bodies were separated only by the clothes we were wearing.
I inhaled the smell of strawberries that I had not been able to get for a long time. The tightness of holding back longing slowly faded away as we dissolved in the embrace.
Without letting go of the kiss, I laid Alexa's body on the bed.
However, the pain in my shoulder suddenly struck and I stopped the kiss. Alexa opened her eyes, and scrunched her forehead. His eyes wondered.
I smiled and shook my head, to calm her worries. Then looked at Alexa's sweet smiling face.
A smile I have longed for.
“I love you first, Alexa.”
Then, I lay down next to Alexa. The girl leaned her head against my uninjured shoulder and one arm grabbed her back.
“I miss you and Kirana very much,” said Alexa.
“I also.”
One kiss I landed on the top of Alexa's head. We both looked blankly at the ceiling. Be quiet for a long while.
“I'm not a good Papa to Kirana,” the word suddenly came out of my mouth. My eyes were hot, and a trickle of tears flowed.
“You are Kirana's first love. He must be proud to have Papa like you, Balin.”
“But I couldn't do anything when Harsa took Kirana.”
Alexa's head looked up to look at me. Her one soft hand touched my cheek and asked to return her gaze.
“Agreat father is nothing more than an ordinary man who has shortcomings, but with all its limitations that he will always give his best for his son.”
“Your heart rate sounds melodious,” Alexa said.
I could only laugh, and rub the hair of the woman in my arms.
“All heartbeats sound the same. Nothing is different.”
“No,” Alexa denied. “I didn't lie. Your heart rate makes me feel comfortable.”
“Alexa,”
The girl just muttered.
“Since when did you love me?”
“Since we first kiss.”
Shut up for a moment, and Alexa continues.
“The first time I knew you, I considered you a grumpy and arrogant man. Plus Harsa's accusation to you makes me grow even more hateful. Although outside I should look ordinary.”
I snorted, “You deserve more to be an actress than a teacher TK.”
“Until the moment you kissed me, and we went through the day together, I became unsure of what Harsa said. In you I see a loving and forgiving nature.”
I intended to kiss Alexa on the forehead, but suddenly the girl looked up, making a kiss fall on her lips.
Alexa's cheeks were red. His hand touched my cheek which was also hot.
“I'm sorry. I didn't know all this time that Harsa had harmed Kirana.”
“Don't say sorry again! I've forgiven you. Once again you say sorry, I'll kiss you.”
“I'm sorry.”
“You did deliberately ask to be kissed huh?”
I floated a brief kiss on Alexa's cheek, then hugged her. The girl with curly hair laughed. But quickly fell silent.
“And now Kirana is also in our midst,” muttered Alexa.
“I'll bring Kirana back again to both of us.”
“Balin, already past midnight.”
“Lantas?”
“Happy birthday, Balin.”
Now I'm the one laughing. Alexa remembers my birthday. I forgot my birth day. He was once a spy of course he knows all about me.
I clasped Alexa's fingers, which now made my chest as a sleeping pillow, and one hand stroked Alexa's hair gently until the sound of slow and regular breathing.
Before long, I also fell asleep in a state of my body that felt lighter because of the longing that I had been healed. Diving into a beautiful dream.
I woke up disturbed by the sound of a cell phone ringing on the table. I don't know how long I slept. But certainly outside the window, the sky was still pitch black.
I moved Alexa's head carefully, lest the girl wake up. Then reach for Alexa's phone that rang since then and see one name that is quite strange on the screen.
“Psychopath Crazy.”
I picked up the phone, and stuck the flat object to the ear.
“Halo.”
The sound of laughter rang out from across the phone which made me instantly clench my hands.
“Harsa,”
“It just so happened that picked up your phone, Balin.”
“Harsa, where is Kirana?” ask me with a snarling tone.
“Quiet, the child is still alive kok,” Harsa said with great pressure when he said the word is still.
“Where did you bring Kirana, Huh? Answer!”
“I'll send you an address. Come here, Balin! If you want to see the boy. But remember! Don't come bring anyone. Especially police. I just asked you to come alone.”
Tut's.
The phone call was switched off by Harsa. And a few minutes later, there was an incoming message containing an address.
I took a pen and a piece of paper at the table. Write a message to Alexa. In order for when the girl woke up, she didn't have to worry about seeing that I wasn't there beside her.
I'm going for a second. No need to worry about me.
Your lover, Balin.
