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
"Were you guys like this before? Always by each other's side?" Adipati snapped when we passed each other in the campus corridor.I took a deep breath, trying to avoid this meeting, but Kenan held me down so we could talk."Sorry to have to involve you in our relationship. Thank you for taking care of Kei; now let me take care of her," Kenan said as casually as possible.I looked at Adipati and Kenan alternately; they both looked at each other with a look that I didn't understand."Do you know? Your words are very unpleasant to hear as if you're commending Kei or something!" Adipati snapped."Guys, can we not attract people's attention? Some people started staring at us with strange looks," I said in a half-whisper.Adipati chuckled at my words. He then looked at me with warm eyes, as usual."Don't you know the consequences of your actions that stupidly returned to Kenan? What everyone knows is that you are my girlfriend, while Kenan is Veronica's boyfriend, and when you two are togeth
"I've always wanted to do this," Violet said as she continued to chew the tart in her mouth.Today is Dad's wedding day. Really, I'm so happy. To be honest, I don't really remember my biological mom; she died a long time ago, and our memories are starting to fade. Seeing my dad remarry really moved me."Eating the tart that the bride and groom haven't even cut yet?" I quipped.Violet glanced angrily at me, then swallowed the bit of tart left in her mouth."I only took a small part of this huge tart! We just need to cover the hole with flowers, and everything will be perfect or even better!" Violet exclaimed with her hands on her hips.I ignored Violet's useless words and focused back on my dad, who was waiting for Selena to arrive at the altar."Your dad looks really tense. Are you sure he's a widower and not a virgin?" Violet asked, folding her arms across her chest and following my gaze."If he is a virgin, then how can I exist?" I said lazy.Come on, isn't there a more sensible say
