Confusions

Today at Chemistry, Lucy refused to talk to Chris, even though they were a little familiar and close. But who cares? Lucy still feels her neck hurt. He accidentally wears a scarf to cover his neck that was scuffed by the giggling of the psychopath Jack, who for no reason wanted Lucy to stay away from Chris.

"Ohuk. uhuk…"

Chris turned his head, anxious because Lucy was silent and only coughed. If asked just shake, or nod or shrug.

“You're sick huh?” ask Chris.

Lucy did not look back, although a little too filled with the attention of the guy. “Ngga, just a cough..” Lucy groans softly while holding her neck. Shit, lying like this, the pain instantly relapsed. This is useless if you don't have a roommate. Lucy still regrets the attitude of Yeni who suddenly moved dormitory. So when she needs someone to share her story and get treated, Lucy doesn't find it anymore. 'Thank!'

Chris was watching Lucy. He accidentally sees Lucy's neck, which happens to be a little loose because the girl is still coughing. And Chris saw some kind of red wound. “Lucy, your neck why? Why red?”

Lucy surprised. Quickly he tightened his scarf. “Ngga, this is nothing..”.

Chris cringing. He felt that the girl was very strange, as if she was covering something up, covering something related to him. Butwhat?

**

As a result of curiosity, Chris so keep an eye on Lucy even though they are not one class because Chris did not attend regular classes other than Chemistry. He notices Lucy in the classroom, the girl is still coughing and holding her neck.

'She why the hell? Why is everyone asked to avoid it?'

“I should have giggled him faster.”.

Chris looked up in shock and saw his cousin, Jack, who was talking, just passing by and left.

“Jack, what do you mean?” ask Chris astonished.

“Sorry.. I’m bussy right now.” said Jack without turning his head, just waving for a moment and continuing to walk. He is annoyed to see that Moreno looks worried about Lucy.

Chris looked at himself. 'Scoffs him tighter??' Chris glanced at Lucy who was in the classroom. The girl was still coughing while holding her neck. 'Jack?'

**

How dare this one Jhansen Wijaya, invite Lucy to chat in a crowded place.

Lucy who is heading to her dormitory is suddenly blocked by Chris. Of course he was surprised, because not usually Chris invites sudden conversations and even in crowded places.

“I want to talk..” Chris goes right away and Lucy inevitably follows the guy too. What do you want this JW guy?

“Now tell me everything..” murmured Chris as they were already in the backyard of the deserted Dandelion Dormitory.

“Tell me what?”

“Your neck.”

“Neck?” Lucy was a little surprised but pretended not to understand. “My neck is why? I'm just coughing. Hey, I think you're too attentive.” Lucy laughs softly but Chris doesn't.

“Need extra klu? Jack Putra Jhansen Wijaya maybe?”

Lucy swallowed her laugh. He looked at Chris timidly. This guy knows where to try? Lucy herself is confused to have to tell it or silence. But if you think about it, he was wronged when he had nothing wrong. 'Yes who knows by telling everything, the problem will become complicated…'

“Ng...” Lucy coughed for a moment, “Yesterday Jack became acquainted with me and he asked that the night I come to Building E....”

“Then?” chris was impatient.

“Then we chatted.. He talked about Jhansen Wijaya's family.. and then... suddenly he strangled me.”.

Chris glared in disbelief, “He strangled you?”

Lucy hesitated. “Iya. What's really going on..?”

“That's exactly what I want to ask!” exclaim Chris looks flounder first, “Did he not say anything?”

Lucy remembers that Jack threatened her to leave and forget Chris, but Lucy was too embarrassed to say so, so she just shrugged.

Chris said nothing more. He left, rather than running.

“Chris!!”

.

.

Chris walked up the stairs. Now he knows where Jack is. No other was drifting in his recreation room, watching a DVD.

“Jack!” chris slammed the door in annoyance.

Jack who was watching it, turned his head, “Eh, Moreno, my cousin. But sorry now I'm busy.”.

Chris doesn't care. He immediately punched the innocent-looking Jack in the face.

“What?” asked Jack slowly with a grin usually, even though his cheeks were swollen.

“Lo isn't that shady Lucy last night?”

“Cih...” Jack scratched his hair, as if bored, “Finally you know too..”

“What do you mean huh?” Chris raised Jack's body with his hand clutching Jack's collar.

“Moreno-Moreno…. Lo bego or pretend bego? Lupain the chick. Among the noble a lot kok face kayak him.”.

Chris growling. “Jack, if only because of that you tried to kill him..”.

“Who wants to kill him? Am I lacking in work?” snapped Jack. “Still lucky I ngingetin lo... Lo ga know what.what kind of reaction people like Farel or Diraz saw the girl?”

Chris remained angry.

“Bro, you already have Sani.. She is beautiful, smart and kind... What is lacking? Why do you even bother with garbage?”

Chris threw his cousin's body onto the couch. “Gue never said that I like Lucy!!”

Jack laughing.

“Just don't mind my business! Don't bother Lucy again!” Chris turned around leaving Jack still laughing.

“Kalo lupain that chick! You never got the right to vote! Another Jhansen Wijaya might be able to, but lo hingga, Coward!”

Chris slammed the door of the room behind him. He went down quickly, jumping three steps at a time. Jack's words were piercing but more painful because he was right.

*****

I don't know why Chris is so possessive. He often asks Lucy's neck, which is actually better than yesterday.

This afternoon they were sitting in the front garden of Building F. Chris asked to meet. For Lucy this is very strange.

“Why do we meet so often?” ask Lucy blatantly.

“Why, don't you like?” Chris asked with a pout.

Lucy just glared. 'This guy why the hell?'

“Ya is not... but strange.. Odd.” Lucy remembers, Moreno has a girlfriend!!

Chris turned his lips.

Because the guy was even moody and pouting, Lucy finally invited a chat too, “Hey, Chris..

Chris nodded and remained silent.

“That time Patrick and Kevin who pranking me... now appears Jack who wants to kill me...” Lucy was blown away, “Funny once right?”

“What's funny?”

“Yeah...” Lucy glares at the sky, “I seem to have a curse to always meet with the Jhansen Wijaya. Huh.”

Chris looked. “What meeting me is also a curse?”

Lucy turned her head, clearly seeing Chris' blushing face. “You may be different. We'll be friends.”.

Chris looked down.

“Oh yes... I also remember that I met Farel.... Hih, he was scary and scary.”.

“What? Have you ever met him?” Chris looked shocked and shocked or something.

Lucy nodded, frightened by Chris' expression as well. Was he wrong about that? 'Mending is done.'

“Ng yes. but only as late as.. Ga essential.”

“There are some of my cousins who are even more creepy than Jack.. One of them is Farel. He doesn't like to see disorder. He wants everything to be perfect, especially for his extended family.”.

Lucy nodded. Screaming too.

“If Jack only strangles then Farel can make you suffer better mentally or physically.”.

“Hah?” Lucy even wants to laugh.

“I'm serious. She once almost did it to Billy's girlfriend.”.

“Yes but it has nothing to do with me, right? I was just friends with you. No more.”

“Iya-iya..” Chris grew sullen to hear it. Why does he feel rejected like this??

**

How shocked Lucy was when she came out of the bathroom, Jack was already sitting on his bed.

“You?!” Lucy is retreating alert.

Jack looked. “Ah finally... Very long time anyway, there is something I want to talk about..”.

“Hhh Lucy Dear... How many times should I say, leave Moreno...”.

“App-pa?”

“You know Indonesian not really!!” jack was like that monster. His expression returned to normal, “How much do you need?”

Lucy was silent not understanding.

“Two hundred or five hundred dollars?” ask Jack arrogantly, “I'll give it to you right now!”

“I'm friends with Chris not for his money!” said Lucy was half fed up.

“Yes yes... A thousand dollars huh? Okay, no problem..” Jack pulled out his checkbook and started writing. He is the richest of his cousins.

“Heh! I don't want your money a dime!” Lucy immediately ran towards the door that turned out to be locked.

“Search for what?” ask Jack with a key in his hand, “This?” Lazily, Jack threw the key out the window.

Lucy held her breath. Okay, this guy's probably going crazy…

Jack got up and walked to the bookshelf, “If not money then what??”

Jack picked up Lucy's thick book, there might be a thousand pages, “Wow... You like to read this rotten philosophy?”

Lucy did not answer. She's terrified.

Jack looked up and walked over to Lucy. “Moreno doesn't deserve anything. He's just a puppet of his papa. And as a cousin, I have to keep my own uncle's mandate dong.”.

Lucy feels cornered at the door while Jack gets closer.

“So..” Jack looked at Lucy with a killing gaze, “Sway him..”.

Lucy ran straight past Jack. This time he was cornered at the end of the closet because Jack who was like a tiger was ready to pounce on him.

“Why fear?” tanya Jack smiled, “Don't be afraid dong..” Jack as if he was weighing a book, “I'm sorry you know..

Lucy returned Jack's gaze, no less challenging.

“You know... it's dangerous..” says Jack, “Danger if anyone sees..” The point of Jack's words is someone like Diraz, Farel, who often meddles in other people's affairs.

“Indeed why? We are just friends..”.

In a fit of annoyance, Jack smacks the hard cover book into Lucy's cheek. Lucy staggered and fell to the floor. He felt his cheeks instantly bruised, and his cheekbones.

“I told you to leave him!!” jack was angry.

Lucy felt her head turn dizzy. His hand touched the cheek. Be ill. Lucy doesn't want to know, she wants out of this place. Even though Dandelion's dormitory only has her and two others, Yona, the sleepyhead and Rahma, the scholarship pursuer, but Lucy believes she's asking for help, those two people will definitely help him.

“Please!! Help!!”

Jack was stunned for a moment but then laughed while Lucy still cried out for help. “No one will hear, dear... Two of your friends I made a deep sleep until morning.” Jack was wide awake again.

Lost is the only hope. 'Chris.. help me.. Chris!!! '

“You psychopath... You are crazy!”

Jack glaring. Again he pushed the book to the same cheek. Lucy slammed onto the floor. This time Lucy was completely limp to the point of helplessness. He touched his bleeding temple. Did his head leak too?

'Chris…'

I think Lucy wants to faint. But it can't be. He could have been killed successfully by Jack the psychopath.

While Jack is chattering that philosophy is completely useless, Lucy is trying to wake up. Slowly, he took a spare key that was under the closet. He'll run, whatever it takes! But not by jumping from the 3rd floor.

“Oh look...” muttered Jack after his talk on philosophy was finished, “See your cheeks...blue reddish..” Jack touched his hand to Lucy's cheek which Lucy instantly hempas. Offended, Jack throws the book and strangles Lucy's neck. And with his other hand, he took out a folding knife from his pants. “Have you started to be brave, little cat? Maybe it's your personality like this that Moreno likes..”.

Lucy bit Jack's arm hard. And with the rest of his strength, he kicked Jack's stomach until the guy was dragged two meters.

Lucy ran straight to the door. Open the door with a spare key as quickly as he can. Fortunately when he came out, Jack could only get up.

Lucy ran through the recreation room. Where is he going now? Lucy felt she was going to faint. His head hurts so much.

While at the exit of the recreation room, Lucy almost hit someone who he had been mentioning.

“Chris?” weak whispers. Glad that someone finally saved him from Jack.

Chris looked at Lucy in disbelief, “Lucy? What's your face? Why your cheeks-”

Chris did not continue his words when he heard the cry of people from inside, “Lucy, where are you going? Let's play around-”

Jack's words were immediately cut off when he saw Chris was standing in front of Lucy. Chris was increasingly angry to see the behavior of Jack who played a folding knife and he was angrier to see Lucy who was injured.

Chris' eyes were red staring at his cousin. “Lo...” Chris passed Lucy who had almost fainted it. He approached Jack, kicking Jack's hand with a knife. Chris punched Jack in the face. “Lo... what do you do..?”

Jack did not answer. He groaned because he was repeatedly beaten by Chris.

Lucy sitting by the door couldn't hold on anymore. He grew limp and his eyes heavily closed.“Chris...” And he immediately fainted.

Luckily Lulu, Gamma and Nice came along. Lulu takes care of Lucy and her two cousins hurt Chris, who could have killed Jack.

“Udah enough, Moreno!” exciting Good finally anxious because Chris who did not want to stop beating the face of Jack who was already battered.

“Mending you worryin him..” muttered Gamma origin trying to distract Chris.

Chris realized. He jumps up and sees Lucy in Lulu's lap.

Lulu smiles thin, “She fainted.”

*****

Lucy is taken to Chris' room. There's Chris, Lulu, Gamma, Nice and a nurse. Lucy still fainted while the men chatted.

“Ga never thought that Jack would be reckless ngelakuin beginning..” said Good sitting on the sofa.

“What is the problem?” Gamma asked Moreno, “Love triangle time?”

Chris lowered. He knew very well the reason for Jack's excessive attitude. Chris has been treated like a doll in his family. Only him. And Jack Slalu tried to keep it that way. Jack's only intention is that the big family doesn't have any problems. That'sthat's all. But Chris was fed up with all that banging. “He just wants me not happy.”.

Nice laugh slowly, “C’mon.. Lo ga need to do extreme things to be happy right?”

Chris smiled thinly. It's easy to talk. Chris looked at Lucy who was still sleeping. He knew his feelings were unrequited. She knew Lucy couldn't possibly like it.

“Peach...secretain the incident tonight from anyone..” said Lulu spoke up. Lulu looks at Chris, “Moreno..

“Ya-ya-ya.. got it!” Chris is so upset. He came straight out of the room so irritated. Yeah, he's just a doll, he doesn't have the slightest rights. Even to love…

***

The next morning Lucy woke up. Unexpectedly, he felt he was already in heaven. Why is the room where the bed is so luxurious? But there was Chris, Lulu, a nurse and someone else sleeping on the couch.

“You ain't nothing, are you?’ ask Chris whose face is pale because of lack of rest.

“Ngga...” Lucy sit up. Not yet she said anything, the nurse immediately presented the most tantalizing strawberry cake Lucy had ever seen.

“To be yes..” murmured the nurse while winking.

Lucy just smiled. He held his plastered cheek and his forehead which turned out to be bandaged.

“Already, mendingan you breakfast first yes..” said Chris gently make Lucy feel tuing-tuing ga because.

Lucy finally had breakfast. The cake that is delicious and soft makes Lucy immediately healthy and excited.

Chris smiled too, “If excited so, later added yes.”.

Lucy nodded. Chris laughed and sat down next to Lucy. Every now and then Lucy glances at the guy next to her. To him, Chris was his hero last night. How not? When Lucy was almost ‘delakan’ by Jack, Chris came at the right time. It's not a coincidence, is it? As Lucy keeps calling Chris' name in her heart, uh the guy actually shows up.

“Why smile on your own?” ask Chris astonished.

Lucy shook her head once. “The cake is delicious... Oh yes, yesterday why did you come to my dorm?”

Chris was silent for a moment and glanced at Lulu at a glance. “Today I and 2 other cousins are in Lulu's dorm… And we also directly check into your dorm because Jack will never stop before it is stopped..”.

Lucy looked down slowly. “Oh.. Ng, thanks yes..”.

Chris sighed feeling that he was the one who should be apologizing for involving Lucy in his family. “Your cheeks still hurt?”

“Slightly... Can you add the cake?”

Chris laughed softly. “Sure..”.

At such a time, Sani came in while saying, “Moreno, want breakfast at au-la... no?” Sani held back her words, seeing Lucy on top of her boyfriend's bed. Sani did not expect what he saw. He had never even slept in Moreno's bed.

Sni immediately threw his face away and left the place.

The thing that makes Lucy stunned the most, Chris immediately woke up and chased after Sani. Lucy's appetite was lost perfectly.

'Oh yahh... Boyfriends are the ones especially right?'

It's been a minute but Chris hasn't come back too, it feels like Lucy is upset. He got out of bed and went out of the room. He sees Chris and Sani arguing on the stairs. Lucy is silent watching them, hearing Chris himself refer and say that Lucy is sick and other blah-blah-blah. Lucy wants to spit her breakfast in Chris's face.

“Don’t believe what you see.” said Lulu who was already standing next to her, “Sometimes what looks does not correspond to reality.”.

Lucy just smiled thinly. 'Just calm down. We have nothing to do. There is no relationship.'

“I only wish that I was blind and deaf.”.

'Chris….

Akh!!!'
