The Horizon Boundaries

Ch. 9 Jealousy Part 2

Ken is furious to see Maisa embracing Kio. His heart is hot, ego holds him. Both look very close. Maisa jumped up and down happily after successfully pranking Kio. The photo is directly mounted as wallpaper. He chuckled amusedly at seeing Kio with a half-forced face. Unknowingly, Ken was already beside her.

"Once you like Kio," he said in a cold tone.

Maisa gasped in surprise. The phone he was holding fell off. Thankfully, the phone was not damaged. Ken picked it up and gave it. Maisa accepted it nervously. Ken was furious from the look of his cold eyes. The smile that always adorns disappears.

"No! It's not so, brother."

Maisa's down biting her lower lip. Confused to explain where. Ken seems to have misunderstood. The intention to explain is gone. Kio came embracing Maisa's waist. The girl glared at him.

"Me and Maisa are closer than you think, Ken."

Kio smiled looking at Maisa. His hands tidied up the girl's messy short bangs and then stroked her cheeks. It felt like Maisa hit Kio in the face right then and there. Ken laughed, but his face was not.

"Oh.... Sorry then."

Ken left the two, silent. Maisa feels guilty for him. He glanced at Kio beside him, stomping on the man's feet so hard that he cried out in pain.

"That's a reply to that one, brother. Thank you for your dear sister's attention. I'm so moved." Maisa smiled towards him, her feet still stepping on Kio's feet.

"Bas on a crazy chick."

Kio grimaced in pain, walking limping away leaving him.

Maisa leaned her back against the wall. The wounds in his heart increased. It feels like a dagger. He hurt Ken. Maybe it's punishment for him. The eyes are hot and the vision begins to blur. Perched one by one clear bulb in the corner of the eye. Maisa rubbed it with her palm.

You can't lose. Don't cry, Sa. No crying!

...****...

Ilove you. Will you be my girlfriend. I want to always be by your side.

Maisa closed the romantic novel she read. Wrinkled forehead. The word full of romance stirred up his thought space. His lips chuckled amusedly. There could be a sentence that makes the feathers goosebumps written in the novel. The quiet and quiet library space is perfect for relaxing. His gaze shifted towards the group of students joking under the second-floor window.

Maisa spread her gaze. It looks like Mia is chatting with Kio and her two friends. Maisa took a long breath. His feelings turned wry considering the events some time ago. Looks like Kio has forgotten. His hands clenched, wanting to beat up the cool Kio haha hihi without any guilt. But he also realizes most of his faults are teasing Kio. Ken also did not look angry anymore with Kio.

Haah! Come Maisa. What the hell can you expect. Forget everything. Think of it like the wind!

Maisa nodded her head. His hands clenched with a spirit pose. The corner of his lips rose to form a smile. His eyes met with Ken's eyes looking at him.

Maisa turned her reddened face away, leaving the place. Maybe he was acting silly. His hand closed part of his face.

At the turn of the corridor by accident, he bumped into someone. Feeling like a dejavu, Maisa raised her face. The bespectacled man in front of him was just looking at him coldly creepy. Even his smile was not visible.

“Child today likes reckless, yes."

The heavy and flat tone of voice made him goosebumps. Maisa felt a sense of danger if lingering there.

"Sorry, Brother! Uh... Sir!"

Maisa immediately escaped without waiting any longer. The man raised his eyebrows in wonder.

"Sister? Do I look that young?" his mumbling while chuckling softly.

Maisa ran like a doormat into a lecture hall. Some people looked at him in wonder. He almost hit a few people along the hallway. Various swearing dropped into his ears. Maisa called for an apology while running. Breathing violently.

“What the hell was it,” grumbled Maisa when in class with gasping breath.

The other students have entered the lecture hall. The teacher will be in soon. Mia approached Maisa and sat down beside her. He was surprised to see the girl as if running a marathon.

“Tadi anywhere, anyway. I'm looking for you everywhere, even here.”

"Kok I wasn't invited?"

"Std... The lecturer is in, tuh.” Maisa switched the conversation.

“I am a new lecturer in this course replacing Mr. Ridwan. My name is Miki Irwanto. From now on please cooperate,” said the lecturer who just entered it.

Maisa was surprised to look at the lecturer who entered just now. His eyes widened, both hands smothering his mouth.

Oh, naw. Why is the world so narrow, anyway!

The lecturer was also surprised to see Maisa. The girl hurriedly covered half her face with the book. Pray in your heart not to be discovered.

“The lecturer is handsome, yes,” comments Mia when the lesson is over while tidying up her college books.

"Handsome what. The types of killer lecturers are like that."

Maisa glared at the sign of disapproval with her words just now. Seen from wherever he was a killer lecturer. Seeing the look on Maisa's face change, Mia was surprised.

“From now why, anyway? There's a problem, huh? Just tell me I'm still here. Tomorrow we can't go to college with.”

“I'm fine, kok!”

Maisa displayed a wry smile. Mia just looked at him questioningly. A second later he dragged Maisa hang out with his friend. From the corner of the corridor, someone was staring at them with a suspicious smile. His hand playing his phone sent something.

...****...

Ken was silent during the shoot. His face showed a firm impression. His hand held a black leather jacket draped over his shoulder. Sitting in a bar stool with the right leg straightened while the left leg rests on a chairstool. Erik and Kio who were also undergoing the same photo shoot were elbowing each other trying to melt the atmosphere. Ken was never that angry.

All because of the incident a few days ago, during a festival on campus. Ken and Kio, the two of them did not greet each other during the volunteer guarding the stand. Erik was confused not knowing what to do. Trying to throw a crisp joke was responded to with a flat look. His head became pulsating with childish behavior. Erik dragged the two into the waiting room.

"Huh! You guys are why again, anyway. Dizziness me. Don't tell me this because of a girl named Maisa. Childish knows no!" Erik nagged like a mother scolding her son.

Kio scratched his cheek that was not itchy. His eyes glanced at Ken who was still silent. He's gone too far on this chum. He just doesn't want Ken to get close to Maisa.

Kio cleared slowly. "I was just Ken's manas-manasin yesterday. But I don't like it when he's close to the kid. He's not a good boy."

"So you're dating her?" Erik chides Kio for more explanation.

Kio put on a shocked face. "Yes, it's not. I've only known him for a long time."

"Oh. friend but friendly."

"I told you not!"

"Hm... Then you like him. If you don't want to say it. I'm not going anywhere near him. I also don't like to snatch my sohib's property." Ken's tone of speech was coldly piercing.

Erik looked at Kio questioningly. Kio ruffled his hair in frustration. He makes Ken and Erik misunderstand. His silly game brought disaster. Wait, this is not purely his fault. Maisa also gets involved in his silly game.

"okay... Okey... I'm sorry I overstepped you, Ken. But honestly I don't have feelings for that kid. He's just my acquaintance. That kid was also the one who bothered me first."

I can't say she's my sister because our relationship isn't good either.

"You can get close to him, Ken. But I've told you over and over again she's not a good girl."

Kio said it with a heavy heart. Just hope Ken changes his mind to like other women besides his sister. Still not willing if Ken is related to Maisa. Whether he doesn't want Ken to like his sister or if he does hate his sister or something else. All of this disturbs his mind.

Ken smiled faintly, extending his hand as an apology. He felt his attitude was too outrageous. At that time he was filled with anger to see Kio's closeness with Maisa. He also seems to have hurt the girl. Kio received Ken's hand.

Erik smiled brightly seeing the two make up. He embraced both his sohibs. Ken saw a familiar figure. He asked both of his friends to return to the stand first. Ken immediately chased after the girl, holding her shoulder. The girl turned around to see who touched her. Ken's disappointed, not the girl he's looking for.
