TOXIC: Story of Masha

The Part 22

Mike hugged Masha tightly, even while slightly bending until his chin reached Masha's shoulder.

"If you don't feel okay, you want to tell me?" ask Mike.

"Yes" answered Masha.

"But, even if anything happens to me, like your acquaintance, never blame yourself!" masha.

"Do you think about it?" ask Mike.

"No. I wouldn't do such a stupid thing" Masha replied.

Masha lied to Mike.

Actually, when Masha saw the ravine earlier, it had crossed her mind, if only she jumped there, maybe she would not feel the pain, because surely she would have fainted in the middle of the fall, then he died immediately when he arrived at the bottom of the ravine.

But, Masha did not want to make Mike more *worried.

(*Although they had just met, but to Masha, compared to all the members of her family she knew did not love her as a human, the two young men were both Doni and Mike, respectively, he really loves Masha.

For others, it could have been bad-minded if perhaps the two young men wanted 'something' from Masha.

By looking at these few days, none of them took advantage of the opportunity to do anything bad to Masha, even though they could have done it.

But it's not.

Doni can even hold back, when Masha is already drowning in lust.

Meaning, it's only natural that Masha thinks that they really love Masha, and can be worried about her situation, right? )

"You promise you won't do anything like that?" ask Mike.

"Mike how could I attempt suicide, if the two of you take turns sticking like this?!" masha reasoned.

Masha could not promise that, and could only work on it, so that she would remain strong and not take her own life.

"Eh! Do you want me to let go of my embrace?" ask Mike.

"Hmmm... Its alright. You can hold me in a minute. Although your body is hard, but your embrace is quite comfortable," replied Masha.

Mike chuckles, tightens his arms for a bit, then kisses Masha on the cheek, and releases Masha.

"Hey! I only let you hug me, instead of stealing the chance to kiss my cheek!" said Masha.

Mike smiled widely, then laughed.

"You can hug me anytime, when you want to be hugged" Mike said.

"Hmmm... Maybe later, Doni sulked," said Masha.

Mike laughed again.

"He wouldn't be jealous if you just hugged me" Mike said.

Mike then fell silent for a moment, as if he were thinking about something.

"Can I stay in the barn often?" ask Mike.

"Eh! Why?" ask Masha wonder.

"That place is yours. But... Can you tell me why? Until you want to stay there," continued Masha.

"I'm ashamed to admit this." said Mike, then went back into silence for a while.

"I felt comfortable, when I knew you were looking after me, also calmed me down like this morning...

It was the first time I could fall asleep for a long time, without taking any medication" Mike continued.

Masha was speechless, and confused as to what to say.

"I'm sorry... I must sound like I'm using you right now" Mike said.

"Hmmm... I don't think there's a problem if you just sleep there" Masha said.

"But we have to talk about this with Doni. So that there is no misunderstanding," continued Masha.

"I'll talk to him. As long as you let me sleep in the barn" Mike said.

"Yes" answered Masha briefly.

"Sama-sama." said Masha.

Mike still hugs Masha for a bit, before he lets go of Masha, and prepares to get back in the car.

"Let's go! It's still quite a long journey that we have to travel" asked Mike, extending his hand to Masha.

Masha simply pushed Mike's hand, unwilling to hold it, then walked beside him.

"No need to hold me. Wh-wh-what for? You want to drag me? You think I'm not going back to the car?!" masha ketus.

"Well, when I turn around, then you jump over the fence," said Mike, embracing Masha's shoulder, and walking slowly with her towards the car.

Masha just shook her head, and kept walking in Mike's footsteps.

When they got back into the car, Doni finally woke up, probably because of the sound of the closed door that woke him up.

"We've arrived?" doni asked, rubbing his eyes.

"In your dreams!" mike answered, then laughed.

"Always far! Just sleep again!" continued Mike.

"We just stopped by for a little while there" said Masha, pointing to the building where she and Mike were.

"Oohs... Then, I sleep again, huh?!" said Doni with a limp face.

Masha almost laughed, but she held herself back as much as she could to keep from laughing at Doni, who seemed uncomfortable with the trip, which they were still going to continue.

Mike then runs his vehicle, goes back up the asphalt road, and goes at the same speed, as before they stopped by.

They still had time to stop a few more times to rest, and also had lunch at one of the stalls, which was available along the way.

They finally arrive at Mike's destination.

A big city, bigger than the city they came from.

The tall buildings of skyscrapers, seem almost to meet along the edge of the highway, which is also no less dense with motor vehicles.

It was late afternoon, almost dark night.

Street lamps, with their high poles, in the middle of the road, cut through the asphalt, most of which were already lit.

"We're staying at my father's house" said Mike.

"Oh... Doesn't it matter if it's me and Doni?" ask Masha.

"It was my father's house, but no one lived there, other than the housekeeper," Mike replied.

"Hmmm... That's so... Then, where does your father live?" ask Masha.

"My father is abroad. Next month he'll be back here" Mike replied.

Doni seems to have felt much better, and chose to sit closer to the front seat, by putting both of his elbows on the back of the seat where Masha and Mike were sitting.

"Aren't you dizzy anymore?" ask Masha.

"No. But, it's still lemesy" replied Doni.

"My legs also hurt, because they were bent for too long." continued Doni.

"We'll be here soon" said Mike.

"the hunt...! I want to lie straight as soon as possible, hugging Masha" said Doni.

"Doni...!" masha said slowly.

"It's okay to just hug, right?!" said Doni with his leisure.

Mike just smiled broadly, shaking his head.

"Yes. But still have to be patient... What, you want me to break through a long traffic jam like this?" ask Mike.

"Hmmm... Not really... It's a pity that your car got abrasive" replied Doni.

Masha with Mike then smiled at each other, while the two of them stared at each other for a while.

"That's my father's house!" mike said, pointing in one direction.
