Steal Your Heart's

Episode 14

Joshua

Sorry, Tara.

Dad told me to fuck around,

Especially this is a big family event.

If you are not busy, then,

I called you, right?

Hantara yawned slowly. The wall clock of his room shows the number eight at night. After going out to buy clothes with Ravendra, Hantara spent most of her time in the room.

He's been taking pain relievers for the month as usual. It no longer feels. She was grateful that there was no class this morning. If any? Whoa! It will be a hassle for him.

Glancing at the desk calendar, the contents of his head turned the incident in the mall earlier. Ravendras. Of all the situations with that shitty guy, why come on the moon?

He buried himself under the blanket. So shy! I want to blame someone, but I can't. The schedule came yesterday at the beginning of the month, now so it is at the end of the month.

Poking his head, his eyes were fixed on the old ash jacket hanging on his room stand hanger. Ravendra Jacket. Automatically, he remembered again the treatment of the man when wrapping the jacket on his stomach. Cheeks warmed. Lothawat!

All those years, Hantara was never treated like that. But he can't let his guard down. Although very grateful for helping to cover his guests earlier.

Maybe Ravendra is good. The guy is cute and grouchy if in his time alone. Ja. Hantara nodded, reassuring herself. "As a guy who has not bought clothes, he must help me dong! Want me to stumble, slash, sprain, whatever, yes he has to help dong! He is the one who jumped! Pinjemin jacket? Yes it should dong! Guys have to help girls!"

"The tar! There's Raven downstairs!"

"Well?!"

Hantara threw her blanket so confused. Ravendra visits his house at night? What else does he want?

Mama interrupted again. "The tar! Exit dong!"

Nah! Hantara doesn't want to see Ravendra for a while. After being in an embarrassing situation, the girl felt that she was not obliged to welcome her guest. He better make an excuse.

"My stomach still hurts, Ma!" He returned the blanket. He had to act like this morning when it was really painful.

"Lho's? Still pain?" Mom's voice moved away. "Any .. usually every drink of the herbal medicine, the stomach is no longer painful ...."

Hantara breathed a sigh of relief. He instantly opened his phone and scrolled the Instagram homepage. "Surely the guy went straight back, hihihi---"

"Tokay! Geck! Geck!"

Hantara glanced at the door of her room at a glance. Shrugs off the shoulder, maybe it's Mama-will deliver more pain relievers. "Yes, Ma, come in!"

The door opened slowly. It's not Mama who greets the view, it's Ravendra who sucks. Hantara rounded her eyes of disbelief. He had to go back to pretending to be sick.

In the doorway, Ravendra tilted his head. His gaze sucks. So annoying, to make Hantara throw one of his pillows accidentally.

Ravendra dodged it well. Instead, he took the pillow and returned it to the owner. The man approached with two hands put in his pants pocket. If Hantara can be honest, this guy who walked up to her is pretty cool. Yes, it is still good.

"What are you doing here at night?" ask Hantara ketus.

Ravendra. "Mother told me to love herbs for people who come to the moon." The guy glanced at the Hantara study chair. "May I sit there?"

Hantara grunted softly. If he had entered this room, he would not have been able to escape. Just follow the groove. "Can. But don't be long!"

Nodding resignedly, Ravendra sat himself in the study chair. Next, no one opened their voice. Lousy. Hantara doesn't like this kind of atmosphere. This is the first time a man has entered his room.

"Why can you play in my room?" tanya Hantara was curious.

Hantara closed her eyes for a moment. In the retaliating silence, Ravendra turned his gaze to the bookshelf that filled one side of the room wall. Full of fantasy novels, detective, and romance of course. Unknowingly, Ravendra scolded.

Indeed, basically being bad mood, hearing the cry of Ravendra managed to ignite emotions again. "Why huh? My room is funny, isn't it?!"

"No need to gas, Tara. Just I just found out, it turns out you like to read yes," said Ravendra still staring at the bookshelf Hantara.

"Hm," Hantara softened.

"You know what, Tara?" Ravendra. "After I drove you home, I asked you about our date."

Hantara. His body warms slowly. Dating. It was definitely not something Hantara wanted to hear in this ferocious mode.

"We're not dating, Rav. Lo who invited me to buy a shirt with a note told to be the same Om Hendra." Hantara's Sweat.

"Yes, I know it too. I don't think that was a date either. In fact, I think of a little kid who suddenly gets emotional, suddenly shut up, suddenly drama." Ravendra. The girl in front of him glared. But it doesn't scare him.

"Unfortunately ..." continued Ravendra. "Dad, Mom, Mama .. They consider us dating again. Every day, they think we're getting closer and there's starting to feel good about each other."

"We don't think it's like that" said Hantara.

"Well then, now what is the proper plan to derail this matchmaking? I have Gianna, and you have Jojo. Oh yeah, did Jojo tell you about the engagement the day after tomorrow?" ask Ravendra.

Hantara shook her head in a doldrums. "Yet, and I won't! I'd rather not tell Kak Jojo than have to explain at length. Anyway, we're only getting to the engagement stage right? We're not going to get to the wedding."

Ravendra agreed. Their purpose is the same. Maximum until the engagement, but will not reach above the guarantee.

"So it doesn't matter if I don't tell Kak Jojo. Because if we separate later, we will return to each other's lives. You can tuh, think carefully again for marriage with Gianna Mbak. And me? Yeah pray I catch up with Brother Jojo." Smile at the end of the sentence. Angannya play. Ravendra smiled at Hantara's behavior.

"Yes, you're right anyway" Ravendra glanced at the wall clock in Hantara's room. "But what makes me a little sad, yes, your attention is to you."

"Aunte Lusi's attention to me Why, Rav?"

Ravendra. It's time to go back. Importantly, she had already carried out the task that Mother had given her.

"After I told you that you have a stomachache because of an obstruction, he immediately worried and called his friend who sells drinks for obstruction girls. He was so confused, he was willing to ride a hot motorbike to buy the drink."

Ravendra stared at the screen of his phone at a glance. The name of Gianna just sent a message. The man smiled faintly, then continued his story.

"Mom was never that careful with Gianna. When Gianna had a stomachache because of the same thing, I only advised Gianna to go home. Same with you ... I want to do anything so you can be totally healthy."

Hantara. Whether to thank Ms. Lusi or comfort Ravendra a little, she was confused.

"The only thing I'm worried about is this matchmaking, Dad and Mom already consider you as your own child. And whatever our reason is, they won't believe it." The guy said slowly.

"Sa-sama is like Mama." Hantara also said. "Mama also thinks of you as her own child. The proof, he entrusts my salvation to you every time you want to go anywhere."

Ravendra stepped slowly until he held the doorknob. They're still silent. Drowning in a storm of thoughts.

"I love Gianna, Tara."

Without saying it, Hantara knows it. Although Ravendra is the most annoying guy she knows, this time she looks very sad. Coupled with tired over the obstacles to be faced.

"Please help me to at least think of one small plan. Because instead of me marrying you .. you will be tormented right? .. I don't love you."

In that instant, lightning struck Hantara's heart mercilessly.
