THE GUARDIAN OF THE HEART

Chapter 27, Love..Love's..Love's.(.End)

Shaka still smiled to himself given the incident that happened last night between him and Besty. He was delighted, finally he got an answer about who the lucky man as Besty's first kiss. For some people, the first kiss is not important. But for Shaka, it was a prestigeous thing for him. He feels proud his first kiss was done with a girl who also just did the first kiss as well. It's like a word like daffodil. It was not in vain that he took off his first kiss to the right person, he thought with a still smile.

Shaka was still staring at the pink sweater hanging in front of the closet. He then tried to recall what happened last night.

He recalled shortly after the kiss, Shaka asked Besty :

"Oh yeah, why did you say "gold" when I picked you up?"

"When...??" besty said pretending to forget.

"Nahhh, start again nihh." said Shaka who tried to tickle Besty.

"Yes, yes." said Besty while laughing and dodging.

"I call you mas, because I want to try, it's good if you're called mas" said Besty with a smile.

"Mmmm, I see." said Shaka as a beard.

"Why do you call me "yank" right in class?" ask again.

"Well.., if that one is.." said Besty while smiling at Shaka.

"Why?" shaka asked full of search.

"Too that one.."tease Besty again.

"Mmm, get started." said Shaka while getting ready to tickle Besty.

"Yes, yes, my goodness." said Besty as she tried to cover herself with a sofa cushion.

"Tell me about that one, because I want your friend to know that I'm your boyfriend." Besty replied, blushing in embarrassment.

Shaka laughed at Besty's words. He then rubbed Besty's hair while saying :

"Keep that call you like?" ask Shaka.

"Nobody likes it" said Besty.

"Could kog? Why?" ask Shaka.

"You yank it's a public call, if it sounds more like brothers, I think." said Besty.

Shaka smiled at Besty's reply. He then sipped his tea which had turned cold.

"You guys, why call me beautiful?" ask Besty to Shaka.

Shaka put his glass back on the table, he turned to Besty and said :

"Because you're beautiful" said Shaka.

"That's how I've known since birth" Besty said as he peded.

Shaka laughed at Besty's words.

"Shall I call Bebeb?" it was Goda Shaka who insinuated Besty because Hendra called her with that word.

"Ihhhhhh, kamuuuu.." said Besty shyly as he pinched Shaka's hand.

Shaka grimaced with a smile accepting Besty's pinch.

"How dare he call bebeb." said Shaka as he glanced at Besty.

"Ihhhhh, 'udahhh, seductive only." said Besty shyly.

"What matters is that you're in your heart." Besty replied that he didn't want to lose.

Shaka laughed at Besty's words. He stroked Besty's hair while saying :

"Yes, I believe" Shaka said with a smile.

"Btw, since when did he call Bebeb?" shaka asked with a smile.

"Ihhhhhhhh, nihhhh cowookkk, start again." said Besty while pinching Shaka.

Shaka laughed while trying to avoid Besty's pinch.

"Yes.., forgive.." said Shaka while avoiding Besty's pinch.

"We have a hug" Shaka said, hugging Besty from behind.

"Once you've been seduced" said Besty.

"Yes.., beautiful. I'm sorry." said Shaka as he continued to hug Besty.

They smiled broadly while enjoying the embrace.

"You know, birthdays are fun. But being with you over and over again is so much happier." whispered Shaka in Besty's ear.

Besty smiled broadly at Shaka's crush.

"What else?" ask Besty.

"You know what the difference is between a wall clock and you?" ask Shaka.

"Engga.." said Besty while tightly holding Shaka's hand which was holding her.

"If the clockwork walls are numbers, but if you keep my mind going" said Shaka.

Besty laughed again at Shaka's appeal. He blushed embarrassed to hear Shaka's appeal. His cheeks turned red with embarrassment.

"Udah, Shak. I'm ashamed of this. Don't make me melt any more." Besty said with a shy smile.

Shaka realized that. He smiled at Besty's white cheeks that turned red with embarrassment and said again :

"If I'm told to forget you, I'll run to the village."

"Could kog? Why go to the village?" ask Besty wonder.

"To ask for a certificate of inadequacy to Mr. Lurah" Shaka said with a smile.

Besty laughed again at Shaka's chattering.

"Udahhhh, don't keep fighting. I'll never be able to sleep" Besty said, laughing.

Finally Shaka let go of his embrace from Besty. He turned his body around Besty. Now they are facing each other and looking at each other's eyes.

"Meeting you is destiny, being your lover is my choice, but falling in love with you is beyond my means" Shaka said.

Besty smiled at Shaka's words. He nodded and then said :

"I used to be so sad about all the trouble that happened to me."

"All I know is, I just have to go through my days alone."

"But I was really lucky. God sent you to remove all the wounds in my heart."

"Thank you very much, Hak."

Shaka smiled and nodded his head. The wall clock in Besty's house chimed 10 times, indicating the time was 10:00 p.m.

"Yes, I went home first. It's 10:00" Shaka said.

Besty looked at Shaka while nodding her head.

"Yes, be careful. You wear this shirt." said Besty.

"Your face is still dicleaning the same Bibik. Tomorrow take it here huh." Besty said as she blinked her eyes.

Shaka smiled broadly at Besty's seduction. He scratched his head while looking at Besty who was also smiling.

Shaka then stood up from the sofa followed by Besty. Then Besty went to accompany Shaka who stepped towards the exit. While at the door, Shaka saw the rain still falling with a speckle. The sky was still rolling dark and dense overcasts. Not a single star and billow appeared in its depths that night.

Shaka then looked at Besty's face. He smiled and then said :

"Besty, I love you in my every word, embrace you through prayer, and take care of you through God's hands."

Besty was already at a loss for words to reply to all of Shaka's words which made her melt and blush in embarrassment. He could only smile and nod his head while looking at Shaka.

Shaka then approached Besty. He held Besty's hands together and then kissed her forehead. Besty had no power to withstand all the turmoil in her heart. He is unable to accommodate all the attention and outpouring of love Shaka to him. His heart was filled with happiness. Her feelings are enveloped by a full and growing sense of love.

Finally Shaka headed to his bike. Turning on her motorbike and then leaving Besty's house accompanied by a wave of Besty's hand, who looked at her with love in her heart.
