The Age Different Pairs

Chapter 16's

"Oi, Ra," called Kim who was sitting next to Rara, "Kim to Rara, calling from the bottom of the earth. Hello!"

Rara who was engrossed in daydreaming immediately looked in shock as she looked at her spirit, "What the hell, anyway?"

"The gue that should have been to elo," grumbled Kim, "Lo was daydreaming. Think what, anyway? The Alvin?"

"No," answered Rara, "Not Alvin, really."

"Well, besides the boy, what else do you think?" Kim frowned, "Don't tell me you want to move to another heart, Ra. Well, don't dong .., I've really supported lo ama Alvin to the guarantee."

"Heh, you know, by the way, the filter is a bit of a napa?" Rara snapped Kim's head, "Gue can't be married to Alvin anytime soon. He's still a kid."

"Lah, you yourself also now never bully your engagement problems with him. Then you want to, 'Wouldn't you marry Alvin?" reply Kim.

"Aish, lo this!"

Kim chuckles and looks at the sketch of the dress in Rara's sketch book, "Lo what more dress to make? Not that the design that was approved yesterday and you just make the dress real?"

"Gue was just making this sketch," Rara put her shoulders together and closed the book.

Kim sees Rara's strange gurgle, but doesn't dare to ask at this time. He prefers to sip his avocado juice and go back to sipping his favorite Chicken Curry-flavored Pop Noodles.

At this time they were in the cafeteria, and since coming, Rara's face was bent like a dented cardboard. The girl immediately took Kim to the cafeteria and invited her sohib to order any food and pay for him. Getting a windfall in the morning is certainly not going to waste Kim, but seeing the look of Rara's face that is more than cloudy in the sky, he so not happy to be treated by the girl.

"Lo what's the problem?" ask Kim at last.

"No problem whatsoever."

"Huh. Like you can kidding me," said Kim, "Lo don't lie, Ra. I know you outside-dalem, including your underwear number which includes—"

"Nrank ...! Why bring underwear?!"

"Let's tell me why lo cake fish do not meet water, confused cake people bego." Said Kim.

Rara was about to curse Kim for indirectly insinuating her. He took a deep breath before exhaling slowly, "Yester night I dream,"

"Dream of meeting Hyungwon of Monsta X?" sela Kim's.

"No, bego!"

"Oh, okay if that's it, go on."

Rara sneered silently but continued her story, "Gue dreams met ... Alvin and one little boy, which I think is Keenan, Alvin's brother who died."

"Alvin has a sister?"

Rara nodded, "I suppose Keenan is still alive, he might be the one to be betrothed to me. Alvin became my fiancee because he replaced Keenan. But, yes ..that's not my dream.

"My dream yesterday was stranger than usual. I, Alvin, the same Keenan play in the park that, ampe want to malem we do not stop playing, I continue to feel excessive fear, almost make me unable to breathe. Tau-tau the view of the garden in front of me turned into a place with a rusty and musty iron smell. I can only see the trailer. I don't know where I am. My hands and feet were tied and I cried in fear.

"Then there's something, or someone whispering, 'You won't be able to escape. The troublesome princess like you should have been dead a long time ago.'. Keep wondering if my eyes are dark again and I wake up immediately."

"Kim, what do you think that's a dream about? Honestly, I'm still scared right now" Rara said.

Kim frowned, digesting Rara's story while tapping the table with her index finger, "Ra, I don't know what to comment, but you better try consulting a psychiatrist."

"Why go to a psychiatrist? You say I'm mentally ill?"

"Not that," Kim shook his head, "Ra, you know me from us still wearing a white-blue uniform, and I'm not messing with my words. You need to go to a psychiatrist, because who knows your dream is not just any dream."

"meaning?"

"I think you have some sort of ... trauma," said Kim, "Gue's not sure my guess is really ato, just a case you like my sister's patient, Jennie. You know he's a psychiatrist at one of the hospitals in Jakarta, right? Well, he sometimes told me about his patients and heard that story, I thought maybe you had some kind of trauma that made you dream strangely from childhood."

"Everyone who has trauma says the same thing as when they were diagnosed," Kim flicked Rara's forehead, "Kalo lo will, after this we go to Kak Jennie's place. I'm sure he's in his study before lunchtime."

Rara thought about Kim's offer. If he can get an answer as to why he dreamed that, that's good. But if he would only be labeled a madman after telling that ....

"OK," the girl nodded, "Before lunchtime we go to Brother Jennie's place."

Alvin yawns when finally the break comes. The school chosen by his father is indeed interesting in terms of buildings and also the infrastructure that spoils the eye. But unfortunately, for Alvin who graduated from Harvard before, the lessons at this school feel like repeating the lessons of elementary school children.

Too easily.

Fortunately, these are still the first days of school, so there are not too many lessons that burden students with homework or small projects to work on at home. At least he does not need to add a drawer about school lessons in his brain that is already full of work as a director of the branch of the company of the father.

"Hey,"

Alvin's head turned towards a sweet, long-haired girl with eyes like almonds. The girl sat down next to Alvin without excuse.

"Lo Alvin, right? Alviano Alexander?" ask the girl for a little chat.

"And you're Veranda Kaliantha, right?" reply Alvin.

The girl named Vera smiled, "It turns out you already know my name. So can't pedekate, dong?"

"For what? That would be a waste of your time." Alvin.

Vera laughs. As his friends say, Alvin is cold to all the opposite sex. Even with his fellow male friends, Alvin was like keeping his distance. The young man with an almost beautiful face looks like a bad boy who is loved in every teen novel.

"Will not waste my time" said Vera, "Gue want to be your friend, time can't?"

"No," replied Alvin, "You only want to benefit me to win the bet."

This time Vera went silent. How did Alvin know he approached her just for a small bet with his friends?

Alvin saw the look on Vera's face, "It's not hard to guess the thoughts of girls like elo. And let me tell you, I'm not interested in lo games and eloquence."

Alvin stood up and was about to walk away from Vera when the girl clasped his hand, "Wait, Vin. Are you serious? Do I refuse that?"

The young man looked at his hand that Vera was holding and released slowly, "And I said, I don't have any interest to you."

Alvin again stepped foot and left Vera who looked shocked because he had just been rejected by Alvin for the second time.

How mean! Vera said resentfully in the heart.

It was true what his friends said. It was difficult to conquer the heart of Alviano Alexander, especially because the young man was already engaged to a woman who was six years older than him. Vera who is modern-minded and indeed still a teenager does not understand why the matchmaking like Alvin is still valid in this era.

His intention was indeed to make Alvin a bet. He and his friends bet on who will conquer Alvin's heart first. But looking at the young man's cold response like polar ice just now ....

"Well, I don't give up that easily. Abstinence for a Kaliantha to surrender before war" said the girl, "And lo, Alviano Alexander, will be my next trophy of victory."

***

Alvin walked into the bathroom. He washed his face in the sink and took a deep breath. His eyes looked at the mirror, towards the shadow that looked back at him and smiled obliquely.

"It turns out it's not easy to survive this far," the young man murmured, to whom, "I should know if whatever I do, everything remains the same."

The young man's head lowered, once again taking a deep breath before exhaling it slowly.

"Gue ... What should I do?"
