The Secret With Bad Boy

Facing feelings together

Talking to Lukman, just open Kinanti's mind. After taking a shower, he sat on his bed checking his phone. It turned out that there were many calls from Kala as well as messages that he had not read.

“Jeez this is a child, a lot of spam chat to me. Was he in the cafe just playing hape? Not angry what's the boss?” Kinanti muttered to herself while reading one by one Kala's message.

There was no chat Kala that he chimed in. Kinanti just send a message, “You've come home?” for him this is important, do not let them send messages while Kala is still in the cafe.

Kala who was lying in his bed immediately replied to Kinanti's message. “Kinaaaannnn... Finally you chat me. Where are you going?” he breathed out, hearing his relief. The spirit that was lost finally returned.

“After eating the same batagor Dad,” reply Kinanti which includes a photo of Lukman who is fun to enjoy the batagor he bought.

Kala immediately crisped to see a reply message Kinanti. “Enjoy much same time Father, Kinan. Because someday you will miss those times.” Kala muttered to herself while looking at the photo Kinanti had sent. He could not imagine, if one day Lukman left, what exclamation story will be shared with him. Because twenty percent of Kinanti's story is about her father. It was the only treasure that the girl had.

“By videocall gak?” She wanted to see the face she missed.

Kinanti's heart immediately pounded read Kala's message.

“Videocall how, my hair people still use towels.” Kinanti nagged herself. He immediately looked for a comb and combed his wet hair while looking at his cell phone screen.

“Abservable means can.” Kala sent the next message.

“Gosh, Kala nih not very impatient. I haven't used powder.” Kinanti was really panicking. Usually it is not like this either. Receive video calls when you just wake up with messy hair and while yawning is often. Why is it now a hassle on its own.

Sure enough, Kala made a video call. “How is this? The videocall. Did I tell you to talk to Daddy?” Kinanti immediately ran to the door.

Then the steps stopped. “But if later Dad asks why do not I answer myself, what should I say? Aduuhh, how dizzy gini anyway?” Panicking in his own. He did not answer and the call was over.

“Nan, you still want to avoid me?” Send another message.

“Dih, why do I open it right away, chatnya?” Kinanti patted his own eel. Shouldn't he rush to open, chat from Kala.

“Kinaannn...” Send another message. Kinanti was able to imagine how Kala's tone of voice would be when she called out her name that way.

“Iya, I'm ready,” reply Kinanti in the end. “Eh wait, what's ready?” Kinanti only realized that the message was very ambiguous.

Kala could not help her smile. He was eager to tease Kinanti by retaliating, ready for what? But he doesn't have the heart. He did not want to avoid it anymore.

“Pretend to be so alone,” muttered Kala while making a video call. He also tidied up his hair that was originally messy because he rubbed rough.

Not long ago, Kinanti's face appeared on the screen of Kala's phone. It looks so fresh and beautiful. Kala to gape at the sight of a very beautiful Kinanti tonight.

“Where are you going?” I wonder if I don't ask.

“Where's what? Yes not anywhere, lah!” sahutan Kinanti sounded a little cynical.

“Kirain you want to travel. This is malem. If you want to travel let me anter.” Kala laid back his body, as well as Kinanti. The faces of the people they care about are all over their faces. It's nice to look at each other this close.

“Udah this malem Kal, where there I out malem-malem.” Kinanti.

"Hehehe, yeah." Kala chuckles. If it may be geer, it means Kinanti dandan for Kala. They were silent for a moment, staring at each other's faces.

“Where have you been for half a day?” Kala asked worriedly.

“Half what day? We were both in class. Just split right back home each time. That means only four hours. Don't be lebay!” The kinanti is a calculation.

“Yes, but for five hours you haven't talked to me. You also keep avoiding. So it feels like nothing even though we're in the same class. I'm not horrified that is bring.” When the release stained Kinanti, making the girl's face red.

“I'm sorry yes, for the incident earlier this afternoon, if it makes you uncomfortable,” added Kala regretfully.

“I wouldn't say it was unintentional, because that's my real feeling. Only way is not right.” He still continues his sentence.

“Kal, can we not have to discuss it again?” Kinanti was getting upset. Every sentence that Kala said, made his feelings more uncertain.

“Yes to be discussed, Nan. I don't want you to feel harassed or get disrespectful treatment from me. I also don't want to say it's a mistake because I don't feel wrong about you.” Kala spoke straightforwardly making Kianti speechless. This clearly Kala admitted his feelings.

“Kal, we are still small...” Kinanti was anxious herself hearing Kala's words. If Kala had been in front of him, he might have smothered Kala's mouth and would not have allowed her to speak again.

“Yes I know, we are still students and our job is to learn. I respect that including your choice not to think about dating as long as we are both studying. I mean, I can't lie and pretend I don't know anything about you. I love you, Nan. I also hope that you allow me to admit that without avoiding me like these few hours. I still want to be friends with you. Become a place to share you and enjoy our youth together.”

“I don't want you to feel bound, I'll tie you up when you feel ready for a more serious relationship. I wish that the person who would become my partner would be the one to be friends with me. I need a figure like you, Nan,”, Kala said with great firmness.

Kinanti does not chim. He still has difficulty regulating his breathing and the rhythm of his heart that is fluttering is not because of. Instead of answering, Kinanti flipped her phone's camera to the ceiling of the room. While he looked at Kala's face which made him anxious himself.

To be honest, Kala felt what Kinanti felt. Nervousness that he cannot express. It's just that his guts as a man are bigger than Kinanti.

“Nan, you're still there, right? How do you not talk?” With his sulking voice. He did not know that Kinanti was biting the end of his pillow because of his own nervousness.

“Kinan... Can we still talk? Can we both deal with this situation?” Kala did not give up calling Kinanti.

Within seconds, Kinanti reappeared on Kala's phone screen, leaving the teenager with a happy smile.

“Hey, you okay?” Kala asked deeply.

Kinanti nodded in embarrassment while hugging her beloved teddy bears. Only half of his face was visible.

“I want to hear something from you. Whatever it is,” Kala looked at Kinanti expectantly. He was not used to dealing with a much silent Kinanti like this.

“Yes, I won't avoid you anymore. We face this condition together.” Kinanti said with great earnestness.

“Serious?” Kala's eyes were round in disbelief.

“Yes, I want to face this time because, I also love you and our relationship so far.” Kinanti closed her face after saying that long sentence.

Kala's smile immediately rose. He rolled around in his cassur while biting his own pillow. Lost the figure of Kala who is badboy and turned into a softboy Kala and can not hide his passionate feelings.

“I love you Kinan, I love you!” firmly Kala while pointing at Kinanti.

The girl simply smiled and hid her face behind the teddy bear. They were both silent for a moment, staring at faces that were not unfamiliar to each other as they were already in each other's hearts.

“Kinan, thank you for being honest with me. Thank you very much,” said Kala.

Kinanti nodded her assent, her lips still too faint to speak. I don't know what madness possessed him until he dared to confess his feelings to Kala.

“I want to sleep first yes, this is malem.” Kinanti. He needs time with himself. Time to enjoy a small explosion in his rumbling chest cavity.

“Yes, sleep. Tomorrow I'll pick you up.” Kala chimed in with a smile.

“Iya, malem Kal.”

“Malem Kinan, sound sleep.”

No other conversation took place as Kinanti chose to end her call. But after that, the two teenagers did not sleep together. They still enjoy the new sensation they feel from a feeling called falling in love. Both of them smiled at the ceiling of the room that displayed their faces. Whether they sleep or not tonight.
