Secretly Loving You's

Ch 52 - I Like

"Away awake?" ask for a very deep voice. The familiar voice that once adorned my dreams. I looked over quickly, to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

Justright. The empty seat next to me was already occupying. Who else if not the Stiff Leader.

My sleepiness was gone. My consciousness recovered a hundred percent. Unknowingly I stood up.

"S-I want to move."

"Sit down."

"But ...."

"You don't see the bus anymore? Sit." Sit." To force it cannot. My exit was blocked by her feet. Fussing will also embarrass yourself. I had no choice but to sit back.

The seat was only enough to be occupied by two people. Mr. Armand's body was tall and large, making his space become narrower. When sitting together, our bodies will automatically touch each other. I've tried to shift the body as far as possible, but our bodies still touch.

The atmosphere on the bus was quite crowded. Almost everyone talks to the person next to them. We were the only two who kept quiet. The atmosphere around us felt awkard and stiff. I forgot, he is a insensitive man and has no feelings, so being willing to be placed in any situation would not matter to him.

This silence is gripping (for me). I was so confused what to do. Should I pretend to sleep? Oh, I forgot one important thing. Where's Nadya? Why is this guy sitting with me? Not with his wife?

The question haunts the head, but I'm too proud to ask it. I don't want him to see me too fond of his life. The more I look indifferent and uncaring, the more it will save my pride.

Maybe I should go to bed again. Pretend next to me there's no one. Consider him a statue. Don't mind.

I pulled the mask, clutched the bag, looked for a comfortable position and closed my eyes. I'm getting ready to go to sleep again.

"Don't sleep. Soon as the port." At first I wanted to protest, but my mouth was immediately silenced as soon as I saw the bus starting to enter the Ketapang port area.

After waiting in line for a long time, the bus finally entered the ferry and all passengers scattered out. No exception to me.

The wind hit the body. The cold pierced the skin, making me have to close the thin jacket attached to the body.

"Cold?" Such a familiar voice came from behind, leaving me stunned and shocked. I tried to avoid him, but again he managed to find me. What the hell does he want?

I choose to ignore and keep staring at the sea in the dark. On a night like this, the sea is no longer beautiful, it looks scary. Only a sprinkling of stars in the sky was able to balance that beauty.

"Tea?" The hand shakes the tea placed in a plastic cup. The hand was very clear. One hand holds the tea while the other hand holds the coffee. It would be rude if I refused the gift. And he's still my boss, so I still have to take care of my prilak.

"Thank you." I took the tea and looked back at the sea. The man stood beside me. He stared at the sea. We were in silence for a long time. Then he turned around and looked at me. I dare not look at him directly. Only the corner of my eye can read a little of his movements.

He looked at me long and hard. Makes me very uncomfortable. Even the tea in the hands started to cool. I think I'd like to say, "What's the worst?"

"Arsha," he called.

"Hem." I really don't want to see it. Can't you tell if I ignore that call? But when I see it, I'm afraid it will come back weak.

"Arsha, I seem to like ...."

"Ouch!!" Someone nudged me until the tea in my hand spilled and splashed into Mr. Kaku's body. "Okay, sorry sir, sorry. Fortunately the tea was cold. Sorry, Mr." I turned off the fog, took a tissue in the bag and cleaned the remnants of tea water on the shirt. Suddenly, both hands clasped my hands. Stopping my movement that was wiping the shirt.

"Nature ...."
