When the Creature Falls in Love

Market Visit

"Kok lo can be late, anyway, Leon? Busy what is it? You should tell me if there's anything I need to help you with," said Jovita sweetly spoiled with a contrived look. Rather than sayu, maybe he is more suitable to say like a drunk person.

"There's nothing" said Leon, grinning, answering the girl's question reluctantly.

How could I possibly tell the real story? Can be laughed off the monkey if it gets caught, I wake up late because it is difficult to sleep thinking of the road with Rara. Is not to be trusted, there is a girl who can make me —Sang Penaksehat in love.

"Oh, well," Jovita replied as if she understood Leon very well. As someone who considers himself a close friend, of course he can not show his true feelings to Leon.

Leon's not opening up to me. Ever since I met Rara, she's been ignoring me. I promise myself that I will miss them both no matter what.

Meanwhile, despite seeming indifferent to their conversation, Rara secretly felt curious for what reason Leon arrived late. Could it be true that he was lazy to one group with her?

Why should I be disturbed? Feelings, likes or dislikes him are just like me, it's none of my business.

"Ra?" call Leon to make the girl's daydream crumble. "Lo's fine, right? Your face looks unhealthy. You're not drunk anymore, are you?" A series of Leon questions reveal a single breath.

"Not to get familiar. Take care of your own business," said Rara immediately throw his face in the other direction.

"Eh, what's the face, Ra?" leon asked looking panicked while trying to see the girl's annoyed face.

"What the hell?" Hearing Leon's words made him uncomfortable.

"I'm really asking your face why?" asked Leon again with a similar expression.

"Why the hell? If you talk, don't be half!" Finally the girl responded in a more serious tone. However, as cold as Rara, she is still a human female who will panic if something happens to her appearance.

"Face lo ...." Leon paused his sentence. "Why so pretty?" he continued while giving a sign of Korean-style 'love' in front of the girl.

And as Leon expected, Rara's countenance turned flat instantly. "Not funny!"

Leon so laughed satisfied because it had managed to trap Rara in his flirtation just now.

"Cie .. very friendly you guys?" said Rania who was sitting behind them as she tilted her head.

"Don't just talk, deh!" sahut Rara fast.

Leon laughed happily. "Emang should be. We're compact partners, right?"

Rara glared at Leon, making the guy shut his mouth for a moment. And suddenly Rara got up from her seat making Leon reflexively hold the girl's hand.

"Gue was just kidding. Lo don't get mad" asked Leon while looking up exactly like a little boy who did not want to be left by his mother to the market.

Whoa, shit! When he was flirting because I said beautiful? This is one of the moves I make nakbahin him, ala gombalan dimeh that. Geez! So much Rara same girls in general? I have to use what other styles for your heart naksebuin?

Rara grunted in annoyance. "Done," he said coldly.

"Gue's sorry. Please forgive me." Again Leon groans and does not intend to release the grip on Rara's arm.

"Gue's coming down. We have arrived," said Rara while staring flat at the man.

"Who? I-i-i?" guan Leon just realized that the bus had stopped.

Eh? So, he's not so angry with me?

Rara throws Leon's hand, and rushes down.

Leon soon followed before the girl went far away.

They are cool in their own world until unconscious, some cameras capture the closeness of the two.

"Our children have arrived at Bringharjo, one of the places that became the largest shopping center in Yogyakarta," said the lecturer gave a speech in front of his students. "So, we're not just going to do a market visit here, because you know you're going to be bored if you just hear your explanation. But we will have a challenge. Are you curious?"

"No!" some of the students and others said.

"So, this time we will practice shopping with the amount of money that I limit. And the challenge should be to get as many items as possible. Today we learn the bargaining system in the market," said the lecturer who ignored the students who were rude to him. Children today are too brave as parents.

"There's no reward, sir?" chirps Rania excited.

"The prize, later the group that buys the most goods will get one of the most expensive items from the losing group. We have 12 groups, so two winners will be selected who will receive one of the most expensive items from the other group. Hows it? Agreed?"

"Agreed!" this time they were very compact and excited.

"Rara, we'll ...."

"Your reaction always exceeds my expectations" Leon said, chuckling softly.

"It's none of my business" said Rara as she folded her arms in front of her chest.

Seeing Rara's behavior, made Leon feel anxious. "It's like your brain has an embedded device that can auto reject all my words, huh?" said Leon while touching Rara's forehead covered with a little hair banginya.

"What the hell lo!" he snapped annoyed while wiping his forehead which was finished in Leon's disentile. It leaves a little pain.

Leon's hand grew bolder cupping the top of Rara's head and shuffled it briefly. "Udah, don't keep getting angry. The beauty will fade, you know."

Rara snorted holding back her anger.

Fuck up! Hearts ask for heart. If I knew this, I would not have helped him get on the bus. Not here, it would be much better for me.

"Don't look at me like that." Then Leon came a little closer. "I'll like it more."

Rara clenched her two tamgans. "Don't be rude!"

"Sttt!" hiss Leon while landing his index finger on Rara's lips. "The Lecturer's watching us, huh! Don't ask me to talk mouthing."

Rara is getting more and more scared.

The heat! Who is talking to who, who is talking to whom! My rules should say that! Fucking Chameleon!

But Leon didn't completely tell a lie. The new lecturer is talking about something important and will look disrespectful if they are looking for a topic themselves.

"So, here each group will be given a pocket money of 50 thousand rupiah. Please, the class president will distribute the money. But, before going inside, I will confiscate your belongings including the wallet, so as not to cheat. Remember that! Honesty is the main path to long-term success. I give you 1 hour to get as much stuff as possible with that kind of money. Order me, bargain politely, yes. If the seller insists on not giving, do not be too pushy. Guanakan subtle seducing technique. You guys understand all?"

"Understand me, sir!" tell all the students in unison.

The next second all valuables have been collected into one in the hands of the lecturer. Currently, each group only holds one sheet of blue money with a figure of 50 thousand rupiah.

"You guys ready? Ok, let's start now!" said the lecturer made them rush in and split up looking for goods according to the target.

"Now, you're the one who holds the money," Leon said when he was in the market.

"What do you mean?" tanya Rara has auto negative thoughts.

"No means anything. Geez, you're so sensitive, deh. I just want to say, no matter who you are, how you feel for that person, but as partners we have to help each other. Surely you also do not want to waste the sacrifice of your parents, who have slammed bones to send you to college, right? I know you don't like me very much. But, do not appreciate the hard work of your parents. They are willing to struggle not to see us fail. They have high hopes. I don't want to disappoint them. So, I hope you think so too."

Rara was pensive to hear Leon's words just now. Not knowing why his words seemed to strike his heart so precisely. After hearing the wise words of the man, Rara seemed to recall what she had done to her parents. All this time he closed his eyes on caring for others just because he had been dumped by his own biological mother. But, it should not be an excuse to ignore his father who has been a big contributor in his life.

"Hey! Are you ok?" leon asked as he waved his hand in front of Rara's dreamy face.

Rara did not answer and only snatched the money from Leon's hand. "We should hurry. Time has been wasted because you mostly say," he said sharply like the tip of a knife that is ready to cut anyone's heart.

Leon laughed a little. "All right!"

However, as they were walking, suddenly someone hit them from behind, almost making Rara fall. Fortunately there was Leon who swiftly held both shoulders of Rara.

"Lo's nothing?" leon asked and immediately followed with a nervous nod from Rara.

Once again, however, Rara is just a female human with a heart that can beat, when a guy treats her sweetly.

"Sorry, yeah. I didn't intentionally. I rushed to the toilet!" said the person who hit them just now. Apparently he is Jovita.

"Oh yeah nothing. Next time be careful" Leon said.

But, such ordinary words turned out to be misinterpreted by Jovita. He thought too far as to think Leon was worried about his safety. "Lo is very good, Leon," he said shyly crocodile. It was so obvious that he pretended to be embarrassed, even though he was basically embarrassed.

"Ng, did he say you rushed to the toilet?" leon asked to gently kick the girl away. Very smooth silk cake.

"Eh, yes! I forgot because it was cool to talk to you," he said while grimly not clear.

"If so we go first, yes," said Leon then away from Jovita.

But, after the death of Leon and Rara, Jovita did not go to the toilet at all. In fact, he walked in the opposite direction to the direction pointing to the toilet. The girl's demonic smile instantly came out.

Kena lo!
