The Horizon Boundaries

Ch.38 Cats

'Derrrt'. The sound of Maisa's phone vibrated beside her plate. He put down his spoon. Kio glanced at him for a moment, not commenting anything.

Sa, I'll pick you up.

Uhuk!

Maisa chokes on the food she chews. Hurriedly downing the white water in front of him. Read that message again. His eyes glare. He swallowed the food in his mouth.

"So, your manners!" Said Mr. Chandra with a face that did not care.

"Yes, Pa."

The girl panicked. Ken can't pick her up. He may have had a sudden heart attack. His finger quickly typed in a reply message.

I've been in the air, Ka.

Maisa hurried to finish her meal, chugging her drink to the toilet. His hand grabbed the bag that was draped in the chair.

"I'm leaving first, sir, Brother."

Not waiting for his second answer, he chose to flee first. The ceramic floor is a bit slippery to run out in the mop. Legs slipped. Fortunately, he could still hold his steps. He almost hit the door, just a few inches away.

"Be careful, No! Just now Aunty mop," cried Bi Tari from the kitchen door.

"Yes, Bi." He shouted in passing.

The girl intercepted the bajaj passing in front of her house. He took a deep breath when he got inside. Adjusting his breathing.

"Bang, to University A."

"Ready, Neng!"

Bajaj's brother drove his vehicle, shrewd across the narrow alleys. Maisa's body swayed as bajaj went through the turn. His phone vibrated again.

Then I'll come early tomorrow. Let's go together.

Maisa re-typed a reply message.

No need, Ka. I'm leaving tomorrow with Ka Kio.

How about a lunch break.

I have activities at the painting club, Ka.

"It's over, Neng."

"Oh yes. Thank you, Bang."

The boarded Bajaj stops at the campus parking lot. He immediately paid and got off. The girl skidded around, occasionally looking to the side and looking back. The situation is safely under control until the classroom.

After college, he decided to stop by the library. From a distance Ken walked towards him. The backpack was slung over his shoulder. Maisa took a thousand steps, turning to the passage to his right side.

Ken saw the girl immediately following. Maisa ran along the hallway. The man sped up, trailing.

He turned again and entered an unlocked room. Squeezing his eyes, peeking out of the door hole. Ken paused for a moment at the door. Maisa held her breath. The man continued his steps. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Who are you taking a peek at from there?" The heavy voice of someone shocked him.

Maisa turned towards the owner of the voice. Both of his hands were holding on to the door. A lecturer she knew leaned against the desk. His hands crossed his chest. He looked hard at himself. Glasses were stuck on his nose. His face looks perfect with the sunlight from behind the window behind him. His figure reminded him of someone he knew. But who?

"Kok sir is here?" He said in a nervous tone.

"This is my office. What are you doing suddenly coming in here?"

Maisa looked again at the acrylic board writing on the table. Head Majors. His eyes glare.

"Oh my god!'" His mouth was muttering without a sound.

Maisa laughed awkwardly. His hand scratched the hair behind his ear. There was a slight red hue on his face. It felt like he wanted to throw himself into the well right then and there.

"Sorry, Sir! I just came in."

"Hmm...!"

Miki walked over to him. His right hand held the doorknob, preparing to flee. His eyes looked at this girl before him.

"Sir?"

"So who's after you to hide here? Do I need to report to the police."

Maisa was flabbergasted, instantly shaking her head. Moving both of his palms signaled rejecting the idea just now. He grimaces. This lecturer's intuition is not kidding. Or it could be having the ability to read someone's mind. It gets rid of his silly thoughts.

"No need, sir. It was just umm.... Someone asking for an autograph" Maisa replied with a forced smile.

"No need, sir. It was just umm.... Someone who asked for an autograph. I'm sorry, Sir. Excuse me," Maisa replied with a forced smile.

"Good work, sir. The spirit! Don't punish me, yeah! Excuse me!" Maisa closed the door slowly.

Mr. Miki laughed at the girl's silliness. He shook his head, not thinking.

"Basic! There's just one."

Outside Maisa stroked her chest. His heart beat hard to his ears. Almost made a mess in the kajur room. He grumbled in his heart.

Basic Maisa bego. Could have entered not look around first.

He turned his body towards the corridor towards the library. Right Ken stood before him, crossing his arms across his chest. His heart was like jumping out.

"Yes....!" Maisa screamed, immediately running away so surprised.

"Sa, wait!"

Ken extended his hand towards the girl. His figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. He was confused by his attitude. Trying to remember the mistakes he made. Unfortunately, none of them appeared in his head.

"So who's yelling?" Ask Miki Sir standing leaning his shoulders on the side of the door.

Ken looked at him. Nodding your head, paying your respects.

"Sorry, Sir. I accidentally startled someone." Reply Ken politely.

"Oh...!"

Miki sir chuckled softly. He just got an interesting show. He went back into his room. Ken rushed to find his girlfriend who ran away somewhere.

Maisa starts avoiding Ken again. The girl ran away every time she approached him. For a few days Ken thought hard about finding his fault.

Maisa starts avoiding Ken again. The girl ran away every time she approached him. For a few days Ken thought hard about finding his fault. He walked back to the basketball court. The kids are done playing.

“Where to go?” Kio asked him while wiping the sweat on his face and neck.

“I was looking for Maisa but she ran away. Since yesterday Maisa has been avoiding me. It was like a wild cat. He always runs when I come."

"She seems to be bored of you." Kio origin replied. He leaned his lips up, smiling sideways.

"Ka Kio!" Seru Mia stared intently at him.

Kio shrugged, "Yes! Aye!"

“Maybe he's angry. What have you done?" Erik asked while dribbling the orange ball.

Mia clenched her hands together, "Perhaps because Ka Ken kissed Maisa a few days ago here. Romantic, though!"

Kio lowered the head of the girl. Mia hit her arm. He looks upset.

"Why the hell, Ka? There's nothing wrong with liking something romantic."

"Disease!" Excited Kio to stay away before he got the girl's rampage.

Ken who heard the conversation frowned. Then he immediately packed. “I unplug first. No business!”.

Ken ran away leaving the others. Looking for Maisa in the library. And bingo. The girl was sleepy in the corner of the library. In front of him was a thick book that was open.

Ken walked slowly closer to the girl, sitting next to her. He is unaware of Ken's presence nearby. His head was stumbling, almost hitting the table. Lucky Ken swiftly held it in. Slowly he put the girl's head on his arm.

Ken laid his head to look at the girl. Her left hand tidied up the hair that covered her pretty face. Long look at his face, until he fell asleep.

Maisa opened her eyes. He was surprised that Ken was asleep next to him. Pinched his cheek, making sure it wasn't a dream. He moved his hand in front of Ken's face. The man did not flinch.

Maisa's a little guilty of avoiding him. Slowly his hand approached Ken's cheek. Only a few inches away, Ken opened his eyes and caught his wrist.He tried to pull it, but Ken's grip was stronger.

"Don't run, Sa. I want to have a serious talk with you."

The girl in front of him nodded slowly. Ken took off his hand.

"I'm sorry, Sa. I didn't mean to make you angry. I was too happy back then, so I kissed you in front of my teammates."

Maisa looked at him a little confused. "Wait, Ka. I'm not angry, though. I ran away for another reason."

Ken's eyes again sparkled. exhaling a sigh of relief. "really? Thank goodness!"

Maisa felt more guilty for being childish.

"Actually lately I can't see Ka Ken's face. My heart is going to explode. Not as bad as this before. So I avoided Ka Ken because of that. Sorry, Ka."

Maisa revealed all her complaints. Covering his red face with both hands. Ken smiled at it. He also feels the same. His fingers held the girl's hands.

"Sa, I love you! I love you!"

The girl's face before him was red. He looked down, trying to hide his face. His heart was like the sound of a drum ready for battle. Ken kept whispering those words to her.
