The Relationship Goals

Section 35_You're My Mine

Because I don't want the girl I love to get hurt.

Yes, I always denied my feelings, Alice. But, seeing you with Dave I don't feel willing. I love you Alice Surya Pranata. And I don't know when it happened. All I know is, now I'm starting to fear losing you.

Alice smiled to herself as she recalled Bara's words. Repeatedly he patted her on the cheek, trying to realize that everything was not a dream. His cheeks had even met red every time he remembered it. To this day, his heart did not stop beating.

God, this isn't a dream, is it?, Alice's inner fear. If it was all just a dream, he wished not to wake up from his happiness. He finds his parents and gets the love of the man he expected.

“Eh, I didn't hear wrong, did I?” muttered Alice with a thinking face.

Alice sighed slowly when she realized her feelings were starting to stir. He was silent with a thinking face. I hope Bara repeats his sentence a second time. At the very least, it would make him aware of the true reality.

“Truly not yes if Bara likes me,” said Alice with an unsure feeling.

“What if he really likes you?”

An apron made Alice wake up from her daydream and stare at the origin of the sound. There's Dave with a tangled outfit and a slightly bruised face. His eyes widened noticing the man was in front of him, especially hearing what he had just said. Alice got up and looked at Dave with a surprised face.

“You injured?” alice asked with a panicked face. Since then he was just sick of his feelings and forgot about Dave who was also on the scene.

“Only minor injuries,” replied Dave who stepped closer to Alice. Her feet stopped just as she was in front of Alice, looking at the girl with a gentle gaze.

“So, why say Bara really loves you? Is there something you're afraid of?” ask Dave with a thin smile.

Alice who got the question looked at Dave with a bad taste. After all, Dave was his future fiancee. In fact, both parties have agreed and just determine the day.

“Sorry, Dave. I just...”

“Be honest with how you feel, Alice,” cut Dave with a relaxed face. His smile expands so sincerely. “I know, from the beginning you loved Bara. I just keep quiet and hope you'll be honest with your heart. But instead, you shut up and accept this match. I don't care if our arranged marriage is canceled later,” Dave added with utter utter utter utter utter utter utter utter disdain.

Dave patted Alice on the shoulder softly as he felt the girl was just silent and not responding to him at all. “Stop sacrificing your feelings. You deserve to be happy,” Dave said with a happy face.

Alice looked at Dave moved and nodded. His face looked so sad, realizing that the man before him was too good to be hurt. “Then our parents?” alice asked doubtfully.

“I will explain everything.You just need to pursue your love. Get Bara and don't let him go again,” Dave said in full support of Alice.

“Sorry because I hurt you, Dave,” Alice said as she held Dave's hand tightly.

Dave sighed slowly and nodded. “At the same time I don't want to marry the girl who doesn't love me, Alice,” Dave replied with a small laugh and looked at Alice fixedly. “Come in and tell Bara that you love her too.”

“And we remain friends?” alice began to doubt. Do you want Dave to be in touch with her?

Dave nodded slowly and smiled. “Sure. We remain friends.”

“Thank you,” said Alice with a glowing face. He feels lucky to have Dave in his life, even if only as a friend. Alice immediately got up and ran towards the room where Bara was. His eyes showed a face full of happiness that he had never seen so far.

Dave who was looking just kept silent with his eyes fixed. “I feel happy for you, Alice. And now it looks like I have to find the companion I want,”, said Dave who immediately turned around and left the hospital. He had to return to the inn and clean up the mess that had just happened.

Bara sighed slowly and along with that, the door of his room opened. Bara stared at the origin of the sound and saw Alice in the doorway. It felt like he was getting more wrong when the girl had already entered the room and closed the door.

“Hai,” greet Alice in an awkward tone.

"Hi,” Bara replied no less awkwardly. His heart did not stop beating at all.

Alice smiled faintly and stepped closer towards the bed where Bara was sitting. Slowly, he began to pull the small chair near the bed and sat down while staring at Bara.

“You still hurt?” ask Alice with a faint smile.

“No. This is just a small wound,” Bara replied with a face that already looked flushed.

Alice sighed slowly and looked at Bara. Bara said his heart, is it not his turn? With complete confidence, Alice began to pay attention to Bara lekat.

“Bara, about what you said earlier..”.

“Alice,” cut Bara quickly and stare at Alice was-was. “Regarding my words earlier, better forget it.”

“Why?” ask Alice with a frown. He was confused, why did Bara withdraw his words?

“Because I know, you already have Dave. So, forget about what I said. Assume I never said it,” obviously Bara with a serious face. He really did not want his relationship with Alice to be far away.

“But I want you,” replied Alice with a face that had met red.

“Hah?” Bara looked at Alice with a surprised look.

Alice sighed slowly and looked at Bara with a completely flushed face holding in shame. “I love you too,” Alice said and kept quiet. His eyes looked at Bara with fear as the young man did not express anything.

Bara looked at Alice. Now, his heart is getting out of control. There was a sense of pleasure in realizing Alice had the same taste. “You sure?” ask Bara while squinting.

Should I say it? Alice sighed slowly and frowned. He was about to get up, but Bara's hand stopped him, making his clear eyes stare at Bara questioningly.

“I love you, Alice. I love you,” said Bara with a smile.

Alice who heard a smile and without warning immediately hugged Bara tightly. I think he's really happy. Bara returned Alice's embrace and sighed slowly. Slowly, he began to let go of the girl's embrace and stared softly.

“Then what about Dave?" ask Bara doubtfully.

“She already knows and will explain everything. He told me to tell you that I love you. Love you so much,” Alice replied with great emphasis.

Bara smiled in relief and immediately grabbed Alice's nape, pressed her lips together and took a sip of the taste. Bara kissed Alice lovingly, no other feeling she channeled.

Bara let go of her lips and looked at Alice. “I love you. Very,” said Bara back to unite his lips. In fact, the two forgot the pair of eyes that were staring at him with a flat gaze.

“Do not go again,” said Bara interrupted his kiss and got a nod from Alice who had resigned in his arms.
