That's so dirty of me

Part 17's

That's why I'm Part 17

It's been almost a week Fira's been avoiding Alif. With various ways to hide, he continued to run from Alif. His feelings of anger, jealousy, and disappointment make Fira stubborn to not want to budge. He did not want to meet Alif let alone talk to him. Fira also does not want to meet Annisa or Aisha, because for Fira to meet them is the same as testing her heart.

"Miss from yesterday about you, Fir. Sure you don't want to go home, Umi?" Fia could not help and found it hard to see such a stubborn Fira. He had never seen a Fira like this who was so comfortable doing a cold war with Alif. Usually they will not last long after a few days will return to their usual actions. But this time it seems different, Fira's feelings for Alif make her grow into a jealous girl.

"Not now, later tonight Lebaran or day Lebaran I go home kok silahturahmi with Umi and Abi." The plan is he will go home when the Eid arrives so if calculating the time then maybe it is 3 weeks again.

"Astagfirullah, are you crazy? Doing that is the same as challenging Mas Alif's patience limit." He had heard how angry Alif was that day to Fira so inevitably he also felt fear made him. Because after all the pioneer of the plan that day was his stupid self immediately followed by Fira without thinking about his safety.

"Well, Fira's done it in the first place so you don't have to be so surprised." Said Dira casually as soon as he entered and listened to the conversation of the two of them.

"Today Mas Alif is also looking for you, sure you don't want to see him?" Tanya Dira as gently as possible, paying careful attention to the change in Fira's expression that turned out to be unchanged at all. In fact, it seems that it's getting unhappy?

"Still not yet, wait for my future husband to come and I want to talk to him." He really didn't want to meet Alif! He was still angry and his heart ached still throbbing pain every time he remembered it!

From Fira's answer alone Dira already knew that Fira was still not at peace with the problem one week ago. So, because he is difficult to accept it, he likes not to be willing every night to sleep together with Fia. Because Fia's bed has been controlled by Fira so it is not possible for Fia to sleep in her bed.

"Want to go out for a walk?" Because they were on holiday so Dira wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to relax Fira's tense nerves.

"Where?" It was not Fira who asked, but Fia who looked very helpless to see her territory taken over by Fira.

"To the garden how? Who knows we could be lucky to find something interesting."

"Hem, you're right too. Better to do entertaining activities to relieve stress." Thinking about the condition of her depressed heart, Fira decided to follow Dira's advice. So do not wait long for the three of them to immediately go to the garden of their boarding school which is still in its infancy.

🍃🍃🍃

"When it's only 10 o'clock in the afternoon but how hot is it?" The plan was they would relax in the garden but once they were there the mind was a little shaky due to the sharp sun exposure. They think the garden is much more ademic than their dormitory but in fact it is quite the opposite.

"Yes, too, the heat is so hot." Dira glazed waist, looking at the entire area of the garden which although shaded by trees but still feels hot!

"So, are we going back to the dorm?" Fia asked as she looked at Dira to ask for her approval. Dira did not immediately answer because his gaze was still focused on staring around the garden area which felt very disappointing because it was hit by the heat of the afternoon.

"I thought sitting by the river would be so soothing." As they all fell silent, Fira finally voiced her opinion. From where he stood, Fira could hear the sound of the river flowing regularly and sounding soothing. Because the weather that is still circulating in the summer makes the river flow much calmer and tempting to go.

Fira wanted to go there to soak her feet for a moment. If he could, he also wanted to bathe there to release his uneasy feelings.

"Ah, it's a good idea to go to the river when the weather is hot like this." Hearing the word river in his ears suddenly made his skin pores scream to immediately feel how cool the river was.

"Well, we have no choice but to go to the river. Well already, rather than hot like this we better get to the river before we sweat a lot." Because their bodies have shown signs of being damp due to sweat, they then did not waste time and immediately went towards the river which is very close to the boarding school garden.

After a few minutes of walking, they finally found the river they were looking for. The river that drains clear water that looks soothing is also lucky this place is very shady compared to the garden area.

"I'll sit there." Said Fira as she walked towards a rock that was not too big yet comfortable enough to sit on.

He sat himself down comfortably, then lowered his feet into the river water after getting rid of his socks that had been soiled by dust.

Hah, it feels so comfortable and soothing. Makes Fira wonder why this place is so calming? In fact, the cool breeze that moved around lightly flew its long headscarf. His regular and light movements made Fira not disturbed at all, instead he quite enjoyed it as if there was a small child trying to control his back with great difficulty. That feels very comfortable.

Feeling her slowly stable emotions, Fira then tried to pamper her eyes to look around her. The calm flow of the river, the soothing breeze and the shady green trees made her feel as if she was being rearranged. His uneasiness also slowly began to recede from his heart. He could feel the heartbeat in his chest moving much more leisurely than a few days ago.

"God.." The sound of shouting surprised someone distracted Fira from the surrounding scenery.

He wondered who had this voice, making him lose focus from the sight that spoiled his eyes. Out of curiosity, he then turned his gaze to look for the origin of the voice that was not too far from him. There, there are 3 figures of someone with 1 male and 2 female. Their figures seemed not too familiar to him so to ascertain his suspicions he then focused his attention much sharper to see who they were.

"Please be careful because the road here is very slippery." The man advised the girl who was about to fall with a very clear tone of worry. Making Fira's heart as if sliced when looking at this romantic scene. Ah, it feels like now Fira is seeing a husband-wife event live, making her heart complain of pain and tightness.

"Fira, I think we should go home." Fia who saw the discoloration on Fira's face immediately came to Fira, he touched her shoulder to distract Fira from the painful sight.

He was hurt to see his loved ones grieving like this.

Fira turned her eyes away from them and looked at Fia's worried face with her thin smile, "I'm fine so you don't have to worry." He comforted his cousin.

Waking up from his sitting position, he intended to leave this place but before that happened a gentle call from Annisa stopped his heavy steps.

"Fira, are you here too, deck?" Annisa's question sounded very happy as usual when she first met Fira, as if the awkward relationship that had happened between them one week ago had never happened.

I don't know, Fira this time was not quite happy with Annisa's mediocre attitude. Fira does not like to face Annisa who this time behaves that nothing has ever happened between them. Because what's wrong here is that Fira and Fira continue to be tormented by this feeling. He was tormented by how bad he was at the time and how disappointed he was to see Alif put Annisa ahead of him.

This annoyed feeling, why once again possessed his heart?

Reversing her body, Fira then put on her innocent smile in front of Annisa and Aisha, well don't forget Alif who was standing blankly staring at her here.

Whahuh?

Is Fira interrupting her date time!

"Fira-"

"Mas Alif, Fira didn't mean to interrupt your time so we'll be going back to the dorm first." Fira cut him off with a sweet smile, not bothered at all with the complicated look that Alif had aimed at him.

Alif doesn't like Fira to treat him like this so he won't let Fira just walk away from here. At least Alif had to punish Fira for avoiding him for a week. Added problems with Annisa still he has not counted so the punishment that Fira should get quite heavy.

"Who let you go back to the dorm." Alif said firmly with his rather frightening domineering aura.

Smiling silently looked at Fira who looked rather surprised, "Help Annisa and Aisha wash these vegetables in the river, if you don't want then Mas will never allow you to go home. So, inevitably you have to finish this task immediately." Alif's orders seem to be uninterrupted. For a moment, Dira and Fia were stunned to see the attitude of Alif who seemed to want to look for trouble with Fira.

"Alright, Fira doesn't mind helping my future sister-in-law." With a breastplate, Fira then lowered her legs back into the river. He deliberately averted his eyes to fully stare at the stream ahead rather than looking at Alif's cold face.

Performing like this, for some reason made Fira become fed up.

Sighing his breath tired, Alif's sharp eyes silently watched Fira's beautiful face that was slightly pale. His usual sweet smile welcoming the morning has now been a week more did not get Alif. Alif does not know how to deal with Fira because he is also a man who must act fairly. Fira makes a mistake and Alif just wants to listen to her apology to Annisa. But instead of apologizing, he ran away.

Not only that, the height of their tension actually occurred when Alif saw Fira talking to a man who was not his muhrim. Though Alif had warned Fira not to be close to other men, but that day Fira clearly did not follow his orders. Alif was angry and unconsciously being rude to Fira, he made Fira's wrist hurt and as it is now, it has been one week that Fira has stayed away from him. Even though Alif blatantly came looking for her there was always a reason for Fira to run away from her.

This made Alif even more annoyed, Fira was testing his patience so much!

"Fira, about that day Brother apologized." As soon as they all entered the Annisa River, they immediately approached her sister-in-law. He was very happy and embarrassed when he heard Fira directly admit her as the future wife of Alif.

Of course, Fira did not respond to him and chose to be indifferent towards him. Did Annisa not realize that her words only smelled of sarcasm for Annisa?

Hah, Fira really doesn't know what to say to her love rival! He's jealous okay, not blessing you two!

"Sister didn't mean to ruin your relationship because-"

"Mr Annisa's talking too much, Fira can't concentrate on doing all this!" Cut Fira annoyed at the ravings of Annisa who felt pretentious. If it was true that he did not intend to make his relationship with Alif problematic then why would he have to say it out loud that day?

"Astagfirullah deck, Brother didn't mean it at all." Annisa is quite surprised to see Fira's rare aggressive actions. Normally Fira would be as polite as him but why did he suddenly dislike her today?

Seeing how shocked Annisa was, Fira no longer intended to respond to her. Who will stand to talk to his love rival?

Fira even so even though she had idolized Annisa to be with her brother. But this time it was different because Fira also liked Alif, a forbidden feeling that people used to say was a mental illness.

Because still not getting a response Fira, Annisa then raised her hand to reach Fira's arm. But before he could actually touch her, Fira glanced at the gesture and impulsively brushed aside Annisa's hand in surprise. But after he did an impulsive action, Fira immediately regretted when he saw the end result. Annisa who he shook her hand in surprise had brought her legs backward, back, however, because they were in the river, Annisa's footrest became unstable and unsteady which made her body fall directly into the river.

Jburrs

"Annisa!" Aisha's scream of fear suddenly made everyone's attention on her. Alif who was busy arranging vegetable ties on the ground also turned his attention to staring at Annisa who was soaked in river water.

"Why did Annisa fall into the river?" Alif panicked and took his quick steps down the river. He immediately took off his jacket and gave it to Aisha to wear to Annisa.

"Gus Alif, it was Fira who pushed Annisa into the river." Aisha hesitated because she was unsure of what she was seeing. Indeed, he had seen Fira and Annisa make physical contact but it was only a glance so he did not know whether what he said was true or not.

Hearing Aisha's report, Alif then turned her eyes to look at Fira's frightened face. Judging from his expression, Alif could see that Fira was confessing to his actions. But Alif found it a little strange here, wondering why he felt if they were divided into two groups. One with Annisa and Aisha, then the second group with Fira, Dira and Fia. This feeling grew stronger when no one helped Annisa when she fell. Dira and Fia just stand still looking at Annisa and Aisha who help each other.

Hah. whatever it is he needs to ask it later to Dira because now his only concern is not to let Fira escape again! If Fira escapes and shuts herself completely inside the dormitory, then Alif will certainly be frustrated because he cannot see Fira!

"You're forbidden to run away again." Alif said quickly as he grabbed Fira's hand with his right hand. He held it with a strong force but even so Alif still tried to control his strength to not hurt Fira's wrist again.

Fira did not say anything to refuse because at this moment he was already very desperate. His two slightly sore eyes began to redden withstanding the terrified cry that was about to break.

"Mas Alif, Fira is completely innocent here." Seeing Alif's far more serious attitude from that day Annisa felt a bad feeling that there would be something unpleasant going on. He was afraid of Alif until he dropped his hand

Before his delusion could be completed, Alif immediately lifted Fira up on his shoulders. He does this because he has no choice, considering the day he dragged Fira eventually became chaotic. So to not give Fira a reason to escape he decided to lift Fira up on his right shoulder while keeping his balance so as not to fall.

"Ah... Mas Alif!" Fira cried out in fear when he felt he was not in the water anymore. He was right on Alif's sturdy back, feeling how strong his back was and being able to smell how fragrant Alif was.

Ah, it's been a long time since he's smelled this fragrance.

"Don't worry about him because I'll take care of this matter at home soon. For Annisa, you can go home first and rest there and don't think about this vegetable matter because Dira and Fia will take care of it." His message was short afterwards he immediately left everyone who was still in shocked mode. They were still speechless especially for Dira and Fia who knew how Fira felt towards Alif.

Standing blankly looking at Alif with Fira on his shoulders, Fia silently glanced at Dira who was still as surprised as she was. Approaching Fira who was still unconscious, Fia then whispered something into Dira's ear which made her instantly aware of her shock.

"Why do I feel like Mas Alif likes Fira too?" Bisik Fia was doubtful of what he saw. Alif's unusual gentle gaze at Fira makes Fia think that Alif actually likes Fira too.

Turning his eyeballs lazy, Dira then continued his work that had been delayed earlier. "It's no secret anymore." Dira replied in a mocking tone.

Surprised, "What? You mean they've been sick all this time?"

Dira, (*_*) you are sick!

Seriate...
