The Life of the Haram

26. Give a Chance

Since the incident at the cafe at that time, Arseno tried to solidify his feelings for Jojo. He is determined to get close to Jojo so that he becomes more confident in his feelings.

In the morning, Arseno was already in front of Jojo's boarding house, she intended to drive Jojo to school this morning.

"Sorry what is it gonna take?"ask one of the guards there who approached Arseno's car near the gate.

"I want to pick up one of my friends" Arseno said as she glanced at the boarding building.

"Call me, or wait in the waiting room" the guard bargained.

"I happen to not have his phone number" Arseno said.

"If you want me to call you, in whose name is it?"ask the guard kindly.

"His name is Jojo" said Arseno.

Hearing the man mention his nona name, made the guard nod in understanding and directly contacted his partner who was on the same floor as Jojo's room.

"Just wait, because Miss Jojonya is getting ready" said the guard when he finished contacting his partner.

Waiting for about five minutes, Jojo finally got out and headed for the car waiting for his arrival.

"For the lady" greeted the guard politely.

"Morning!"

"Said someone was waiting for me, who?" ask Jojo curiously.

As he remembered himself, if it was people who knew him it was impossible for any of his members not to recognize.

"Miss, that's the man" the guard pointed to as he watched Arseno get off the car.

"Why look for me?"jojo asked who was facing Arseno.

"Introduce you to school" Arseno said casually and immediately opened the car door for Jojo.

"Come on!, he said he'd take me to school?"jojo asked puzzledly, after getting in the car Arseno looked at Jojo and it made him feel uneasy but there was a feeling of pleasure as well.

..................

Arseno drove her car at moderate speed, occasionally glancing at Jojo who was staring out the window.

Arriving at school Jojo casually wants to open the car door but is held back by Arseno.

"Why?"jojo asked gently looking at both of Arseno's eyeballs.

"No" said Arseno who was nervous.

"If there's nothing I want to go out" said Jojo, who tried to remove Arseno's hand on his arm.

"Why are you?" jojo asked in surprise because Arseno did not want to let go of his hand.

"Don't make me curious?" jojo said that his gaze towards Arseno's eyes because Arseno is higher than Jojo.

"Don't make me laugh, I like you. But please don't give me hope if you don't like me" Jojo said with a sad look.

"really?"asked Arseno with a happy feeling.

"Yes" said Jojo coldly.

"But if my feelings bother you, then I'll eliminate them. Can we be friends?" jojo asked with mixed feelings.

"No, we won't be friends!"arseno said firmly.

Hearing Arseno's words, made Jojo feel pain in his heart.

Seeing Jojo lowered his head and wanted to release both hands Arseno who was on the waist slender makes Arseno more anxious about Jojo's behavior.

"Detach" said Jojo hoarsely

Really he does not understand why he is so easy to feel happy or sad if it concerns Arseno, what is his love for Arseno so great? jojo asked in his heart.

"Listen to me" said Arseno who hugged Jojo tightly. Because Jojo kept rebelling in his arms.

"Let me go" Jojo said softly.

"No-no, you won't be able to get away from me!"arseno said with great emphasis.

"meaning?"jojo asked in astonishment and did not mutter in Arseno's arms.

"I like you!"said Arseno while holding both sides of Jojo's face staring at him.

"I'll make sure, this is a feeling of love is just a feeling of liking"

"Give me a chance that I can confirm it" Arseno said expectantly to Jojo.

Hearing Arseno's words made Jojo speech silent, it was not as easy as he imagined for Arseno to fall in his arms. With a heavy heart Jojo nodded his head in response yes.

"Thank you, thank you for the relief you gave me" Arseno said happily.

Let's walk like this first, if Arseno is destined to belong to him then he will feel like the luckiest woman can have someone who he had been looking for since. Without a trace of anyone including Rima and Zidan.

"I went to school then" said Jojo, letting go of his embrace.

"Later tonight I'll pick you up, because I want to introduce you to someone" Arseno said as she kissed Jojo on the forehead affectionately.

Jojo gets out of the car, when Arseno's car is away from Jojo, unable to hide his happy smile. He felt his struggle was beginning to show results, although not in accordance with what he expected.

"One more step" murmured Jojo with a sweet smile and began to enter the grounds of his school building.
