THE HIDDEN MENTARY

CLOSER

"Not to be ashamed! When you're done crying, lift your head! I've seen it all, too." Aldrich's slightly high voice made me aware that we had been in this position for a long time. The position where my head still rests on his shoulder.

Holy hooch! What have you done, Kay? Earlier this morning, you had made the whole department in an uproar with your bar-bar behavior. Even now you also destroy your first impression in front of a handsome senior in the department. The cold handsome, Aldrich!

Huh, what should I do? I keep on cursing myself. I regret not being able to control my emotions. All because of Danen who suddenly advanced like a hero of bad luck for me. What losers!

I still kept my head down on Aldrich's shoulder. Shame covers every part of my body. I can't stand it if Aldrich has to see me like this. Aarrggh!! What would Aldrich think? He would probably laugh at me and humiliate me.

"Wake up! You still have to finish your punishment, Mikhayla!" Aldrich.

Aldrich's words instantly awakened my memory of another yes. The punishment! God, why did I forget that one?

Of course Aldrich will charge it. Who am I to make an Aldrich postpone or even stop his sentence. Whoever you are, don't expect to escape Aldrich's supervision if you make a mistake.

I don't know, this guy's really happy to punish. Maybe he has a little mental disorder? Where he will feel happy to see others in distress. Maybe, who knows! I just keep assuming like this, let me stay alert.

I immediately looked at his face, putting on my mainstay eyes, a wistful and innocent look, hoping that Aldrich would let go of me this time.

"Sister, should I serve the sentence now? Can't it be delayed?" I'm welding.

"Haha.. It's good you asked to be postponed. Just so pretentious to call using you-me, now the turn to be in the law directly deh find safe. Don't expect you to escape me!" Aldrich insinuated very clearly.

"But what is the punishment, brother?" I'm still trying my luck.

Damn it, my brain just keeps sending out information on various terrible punishments. And worse yet, the shameful punishment that was always plastered was real in my shadow.

"Wake up, follow me." Aldrich said, shaking his shoulders. Ah she wishes I had gotten away from her side quickly. I care about your shoulder!

I immediately got up and wiped away the few tears that were still left. My lyrics Aldrich also got up and stared at me.

"Would you go to the bathroom first?" Aldrich offered me.

My body stiffened instantly. It seems like what punishment I will receive. Most likely I will be confronted by my friends and told to apologize. At the moment my face still looks flat. Oh come on, does he want to embarrass me? Where should I keep my face? There's no way I'm dealing with people with puffy eyes and my red nose!

I stared at my senior. Ah time bod*h with all courtesy.

"Why look at me like that? What are you thinking? Get rid of your filthy thoughts to me immediately! Including all your bad thoughts to me." Aldrich's voice, accompanied by his slow hardness, made my forehead grow deeper and deeper.

How could he be like.like..like! I can't say his name. And I could only sigh, as my brain sent me a picture of who the people who used to do that to me.

"Bang, are you a psychic drip?" Jesus, Kay! What did you just say? Didn't you just say you didn't want to say his name? Just now you even called Aldrich 'Bang'! Mikhayla's mouth! Why is it always out of sync with your brain!

I hope Aldrich doesn't hear that. But is that possible? I bit my lower lip and tried to glance at it. Too late! He heard. Look, that confused face.

"Eh that.." I'm tempted to explain it.

"Should you call me, Bang? I didn't hear wrong? Since when do you call me 'Bang'?" Aldrich scolded me with a myriad of questions.

"You called your ex 'Bang'?" The irony of Aldrich's question. His eyes stare at me. I don't know because of what. Maybe he did not accept being equated with the crocodile.

"Let's not. I call him Danen." I deny.

"Then?" Whoa like Aldrich doesn't want to let me go this time.

"Hmm I call my brother 'Abang' and you behave like my brother, nosy, ignorant and a little mean." I made a very unreasonable excuse! Since when did I call Farrel's brother Abang.

I called Brother just for him. I don't know what the reason is. But it all felt beautiful when I called him 'Abang',

"OK if that's it. You can call me brother. Especially for you, I allow. I take it as your darling call." With ease Aldrich said. And all of that made me aghast.

Oh not again! What kind of madness am I meeting. An Aldrich who was fiercely begging for forgiveness from the beginning of ospek, suddenly behaved very sweetly. I'm worried, lest I'm in a trap that will make me more embarrassed or maybe more.fall!

"Heheh no, brother, thank you. I called Al Al Aja, right? Can you?" I try to avoid his eyes.

Aldrich's eyes kept staring at me.

"Why? Still traumatized by the name of love? Did the crocodile drop you too hard? Or hurt you so deeply?" Aldrich asked, clearly he was investigating me.

"I call him trash!" I answered his call, without trying to answer his question.

Aldrich smiled wryly at me. I don't know what he was thinking he immediately formed the top of my head and rubbed it. Ah not rubbing, but ruffling my hair. Is he angry with me?

"From the beginning of seeing you, I knew you were different. You will be one of the many new students who shine." Aldrich made his words clear.

I cringed, trying to digest his words.

"Way bring that disco light to shine?" I tease.

"God.." I cried out in pain when suddenly my cheek was pinched tight by Aldrich.

"It hurts, brother! What the hell?" I protest.

"It's exactly what I thought. You'll be different and impress me." Aldrich added in a soft voice.

"Udah don't think much. You don't seem to be fit for serious thinking. Now follow me." Aldrich pulled my hand to follow him.

I'm resigned. Walking following Aldrich. I don't know where to take it and what punishment.

"Lake in." Aldrich's orders were firm and brief.

I hesitantly looked at him, alternating with looking at the car in front of me.

"Don't think weird, Mikhayla!" Exactly, Aldrich read my mind, completely similar, he!

"Kay, call me Kay Kak Al." I use my call to reduce my nervousness.

"Indeed different! When a normal girl will answer what, uh you answer what!" Aldrich chuckles.

"Something's wrong with my brain, huh, brother?" I was worried about a shift in my brain function.

Aldrich laughed crisply. Comforted with my question. You freak!

"There's nothing wrong with your brain. That's because you're special, Kay." He has justified his call. His voice was softer and the look in his eyes made me blush.

"Come in. It's your punishment." Imbuh Aldrich softly and looked at me in the shade. His hand opened the car door.

"What punishment? Big brother can just as easily give punishment without discussion huh?" I remembered the way he had asked us all to discuss to determine my punishment earlier.

"The company I ate, I haven't eaten before." Aldrich leaned toward me, whispering a sentence that made me gap.

"What punishment is that?" I try to argue with him.

"Please vote, we go back to the field and you apologize to all your friends at the risk of them all seeing this swollen face of yours. Or, accompany me to eat, only you and I know your condition now. Choose and I hope you make a wise choice." Aldrich smiled mischievously as he finished saying it.

As I suspected, the punishment would be like that. Apologizing. He wanted to humiliate me from the beginning.

Eh but, he took me out to eat, did he expect that I would choose this option? Butwhy? Does he want to protect me? Doesn't he want me to feel hurt and embarrassed about facing my friends? Ah I don't know, maybe he does want to be kind to me, don't want me to look weak in front of others, especially that trash.

"Alright, Brother. Let's just eat some. I happen to be hungry." The end of my choice I made.

Aldrich smiled broadly. Warmness ran through my body, considering that there was a bit of kindness from him after a whole month he tortured me with various punishments.

"The right choice and according to my wishes. So, come in." Aldrich gave me a code to get in his car.

"Sister baguage?" I asked after realizing my bag was still in the field.

"Wait in the car, I'll take it." Aldrich's voice was firm, not to be disputed.

I nodded and looked at his back which was walking away.

I saw Aldrich stop his steps, while crossing the faculty building. His head bowed saluting a man whose half of his body was already inside the building and left only the back of the head poking out.

"Who is he? Oh maybe one of the lecturers is here." I'm monologuing.

Aldrich stopped his steps and he seemed to be talking to the man. Sometimes they laugh. Looks like he's a lecturer here. Seen from his gestures, Aldrich respected him a lot. Ah that fierce senior, now looks different in my eyes. His fierce impression instantly changed instantly today.

Twice a pat on Aldrich's shoulder and covered with a smile both of them, became the end of their conversation. Aldrich continued his move.

I raised my gaze to the other side of this University building. Hah hope I can get through my college years in peace and fun. Meet new people who can give me passion and happiness. I really hope that!

"What dream?" I flinched, shocked by Aldrich's sudden greeting next to me.

"When's brother coming?" I innocently asked.

"Eat it, don't like daydreaming! What the hell was he thinking?" Aldrich asked.

I took a deep breath before answering. Wishing my burden to be removed in line with my breath.

"Sister Al, can I go through my college days peacefully and pleasantly? I really hope it's all. Meet new people who make me excited and forget the past. A new person who will make me happy and keep good memories." I don't know what I'm thinking, suddenly my mouth is speaking plainly in front of Aldrich.

"You can! Because you're special, Kay! Rest assured, your 4 years here will be fun. And right now I can make sure I'll take part in your happy memories." Aldrich said suddenly, which I immediately greeted with eye-sucking.

I really can't believe what he's saying! Is there a problem with my ears? Or is Aldrich making a wonderful promise to me? I shook my head, trying to shake off the various possibilities that ran through my head.

"Why are you shaking your head? And that, what's with your eyes? You trance? So don't dream here. There are many waiters here. Especially in that big tree." Aldrich pointed to the banyan tree in the garden where I was crying.

I closed my mouth with both hands and turned left to right. Fear ran straight through my body. Really it? Don't be right! The proof is that I immediately talked to Aldrich. It seems like my brain is already affected by the astral beings of the banyan tree.

"Huh, you're funny! Very funny, Kay! What expression is that? Makasi yes Kay, has entered this department. At the end of my college, it looks like it's gonna be fun!" Aldrich broke up while running his car.

"Follow me from now on. Start by eating first as an introduction."

I looked at Aldrich questioningly. But bod*hlah time with all the talk that messed it up. Think of this as nonsense to calm me down today. It seems that he also seemed surprised by my behavior today. Suddenly angry and crying.

All right, let's just do what Aldrich wants for today. I also could not go back to the remaining activities. After all, the chairman of the committee is with me, so it looks like today will be safe and well. Then I nodded and agreed to follow him today. At least, there is a diversion to my heart.
