Adipati and I took a deep breath after finishing our task. Okay, blame me for forgetting all my college assignments because I was busy thinking about Kenan. I don't think about that task until after we've had dinner. Luckily, Adipati wants to help me do it. He helped me summarize while I typed it on my laptop. We worked on it until midnight. Crazy indeed. Luckily, Dad was out of town."Ah, my back hurts so bad," muttered Adipati as he lay down on the carpet while closing his eyes."Sorry, I shouldn't have forgotten a task as important as this," I said quietly.He didn't answer and just chuckled softly."Don't apologize; I really enjoyed today," he said while straightening his body.We glanced at the digital clock that lay on my nightstand. It's very late."Want to stay?" I asked spontaneously.Wow, that sounds crazy. What did I just say?"I mean, we have several bedrooms for guests; you can use one of them. It's already very late anyway," I corrected.Adipati immediately chuckled soft
"Who wants to get married?" Violet screamed when I asked her to find a good WO in Jakarta."Lower your voices!" I squeeze Violet's arm tightly."You two are just close; why do you want to get married so soon? Are you sure you won't regret marrying him? In this day and age, who wants to marry young?" Violet stared at me intently, and her mouth chattered without pause."Listen," I said in a half-whisper."No, Kei, you have to listen to me! It's not easy taking care of the household! You're still so young; why rush?" Violet exclaimed, annoyed.This idiot is so annoying."Who's in a hurry?" Adipati chirps, who just approached us."What a coincidence that you came, I want to ask. Can you guys think about it again? I mean, getting married isn't as fun as you think! You have to be really sure and established to get married! Didn't you enjoy your youth before?"I could only cover my face with my hands as Violet scolded Adipati."So... we're getting married? Why did I just find out?" Adipati s
Adipati blinked his eyes in disbelief. He looked at me again."What did you ask me to come here for?" he asked, confused.I smiled broadly, then approached him and showed him the kedondong tree."What's wrong with that tree?" he innocently asked."Look, Selena is craving kedondong. Can you please get that kedondong?"Adipati gaped in disbelief."Don't be crazy, OK? If you ask me to cook, wash, mop, or do other housework, I'll answer it right away! So, you're asking me to climb a tree? Where's your conscience, please?" retorted that Adipati did not accept."That one is big! Just take one piece of plastic, not a lot," I said while patting Adipati's back lightly.He immediately pouted. He wanted to refuse, but after all, this was his job. There is no other choice.With heavy steps, he approached the tree."Be careful, the dew is quite thick; it must be slippery!" I exclaimed slowly."You already know it's slippery; you really have the heart to ask me to climb!" grumbled Adipati."It does
"So, how was last night?" Violet sat looking at me with an annoying smile."I'm not going to drink anymore; my head hurts, and my stomach feels so sick!" I lay down again on the bed.Violet, who was still sitting on the couch, chuckled softly at me."But, if I may be honest, Adipati is a good man; if I were him, I would take advantage of last night's circumstances to take advantage of you! But all he did was sit there with you drinking, then walk you home!" Violet looked at me with a meaningful gaze.I took a deep breath and shook my head weakly. I don't know what's on Violet's mind. I don't want to bother thinking about it."Still feeling dizzy?" asked Selena as she entered my room and brought me a warm drink."Only honey and ginger water will get rid of the hangover!" Selena told me.I nodded slowly and drank it immediately. Yes, very annoying."If you know you can't stand alcohol, why drink instead?" asked Selena, confused."At least, even though I passed out afterwards, I've taste
"Damn it!" Violet cursed harshly when I told her about yesterday.I just took a deep breath and listened to Violet's steps getting slower. We are walking towards the camping area. Wisnu and Adipati had already left because they were on the committee. So, I and the other members went after"Really, I barely slept all night thinking about this!" I am frustrated.Violet lightly patted my back and let out a heavy sigh."Really, I don't understand what to do at this point. Kenan's words contained a riddle that I honestly didn't want to solve. What should I do? I'm curious, but I don't want to know," I blurted out in frustration. I don't care if people look at me weird."Never mind, forget it; if it's that important, Kenan will tell you! Now, better focus on what's in front of you! Adipati has tried hard enough to win your heart, and it almost succeeded!" Violet reminded me.Yeah, I've been trying to like him, and I admit I'm starting to feel comfortable with him. It's just that everything f
I can't find Kenan anywhere. I've circled the entire campus, I even came to his house. However, I couldn't find him anywhere.Now, the only place I can think of is a tree house.I ordered a taxi to take me to that place. I feel really messed up because the number cannot be reached. I've been looking for it all day. I have to clear up the misunderstanding between us.I breathed a sigh of relief seeing Kenan's motorcycle parked there. Finally, I found him too. I rushed to the tree house, but Kenan wasn't there. I then went back downstairs and looked for it in the lake area."What are you doing here?"I immediately turned around, hearing Kenan's voice behind me. I ran to hug the man tightly. I don't know; I don't know what I'm doing; I just miss him so much."Kei, what's wrong?" asked Kenan, panicked.I didn't respond and just hugged him tighter."Kenan," I called softly."Ya?""You smell fishy," I said while breaking away from Kenan.Kenan chuckled softly, then put his hands on his hips
Is it wrong if I want to spend the night with Kenan? Why did he insist on taking me home? This is sucky. Especially Dad, who kept glaring at him when he took me home."We have a curfew, Dude!" Dad shouted at Kenan."Sorry, I'll drop her off on time next time," Kenan said casually."Well, it's midnight!" Dad still doesn't want to let him go."Dad should thank Kenan for walking me home after I failed to persuade him to spend the night together!" I snapped.Dad gaped in disbelief, while Selena just chuckled behind him."Come on, come on in," Selena whispered when Dad was about to open his mouth again.Selena forced Dad into the house."Don't say that in front of your dad; we all know how hard it is to raise you alone." Kenan held my hand and stared into my beady eyes.I immediately frowned at his words."We've said before, no sex before marriage! Do you remember? I'm trying to live up to it, so don't make things difficult for me, okay?" Kenan looked deep into my eyes.I chuckled softly at
My smile widened when I heard Kenan's laughter fill my living room. I ran back to my room to make sure I was pretty enough to meet him. I know it's not my type to stand in front of the mirror many times; it's just that, considering Veronica is always beside Kenan, I feel insecure. There are so many beautiful women in Kenan. I don't want to look bad when compared to him. I took lip tint from the drawer and dabbed it lightly on my lips. Well, yeah! This was a gift from Violet when she went to Korea a few weeks ago. I thought I would never use it, but it turns out I really need it now. "Wow," I jumped in surprise and almost dropped the lipstick I was holding when Kenan's voice came from the door. "Are you wearing lipstick now? Want to tease me, huh?" Kenan joked while moving toward me. "No, it's not lipstick; it's lip tint!" I said it quickly as I threw it into the drawer. Kenan chuckled softly; he then stood in front of me, hugged my waist, and brought his face closer. "What's th
