KHAI’s POV
I quickly stand up from sitting on the sofa when the door of my unit opened. Cali and Vivian entered. They are both smiling brightly.
What happened?
“Khai, are you okay?” Vivian asks me with a little laugh. “You seemed to be seeing a ghost.” She added.
Cali just chuckled.
“What... what happened? Why are you two get along?”
“Why? Do you want us to fight?” Vivian ask.
“No. I mean...”
“Ah, I’m hungry. Do you have food to eat here?” Vivian asks and she heads straight to the kitchen. Cali, on the other hand, approached me.
She hugged me, shoving her face on my chest.
“Cali...”
“Hmm?”
“What happened? What
THE NEXT MORNING~It's the weekend. I am presently having breakfast with Khai. He said the food that we are eating was cooked by his mother. No wonder they are all taste delicious."It's delicious, isn't it?" He asks me."Yeah. So good." I reply while giggling."Eat a lot," he says, gently pinching my cheek."Wait..." I stop eating and look at him."Hmm?""I can't eat them anymore. Your mother cooked this for you. She might..." I was not able to continue my sentence when she put his index finger on my lips. Then, he wiped the corner of my lips."There was a sauce." He smiles. "Don't worry, you can eat them. What's mine is yours too. Plus, mum doesn't hate you. I guess you already know that."I take a breath. "Um. I know that."He holds my ha
STEPH’s POVI woke up early to go to the salon. I suddenly thought of changing my hairstyle. And I'm going to have a pedicure too.I was leaning my back on the chair to relax when my phone suddenly beeps. I got a text message. For sure it’s Cassandra. I did not tell her I was leaving the house today. Well, I don't want to disturb her moment with Khai.Anyway, I took my phone inside my bag and I looked at the screen. I was certain to see her name on the screen, but it was not her name who popped up on my phone screen. Rather, it was from Sab./Where are you? We have something important to do today./My forehead creased after reading her message.Something important to do today? I did not know. Or maybe she was wrong sent?/What are you talking about?/ I replied to her. /Wrong sent?/ I added.Wit
I ran faster as I could, letting the rain pounded into my body, ignoring his calls. I almost could not feel my tears dripping on my cheeks because I'm all soaked from the rain."Cali!" His voice echoed in my ears and it hurts me."Leave me alone!" I shout back, still running but suddenly I fell to the ground. I tried to stand up but I couldn't because my body was weakening. Shit."Cali!" He wraps his arms around me and hugs me tightly. "Sorry. I'm sorry," he says in apology. His voice also sounds broken because of crying."Let me go," I pull him but he tightened his hugs to me, keeps on saying sorry. Bullshit. Hearing his apology makes me hurt even more. How dare he! Does he think his sorry will get the pain I feel? How dare he! How could he do this to me? We were so in love, we were so
The orientation is short and Steph and I went to our room section. As we got to our room section, we sat on the empty seats in the second row since the first and third row are already occupied by some our of classmates. I think they are the old students here because it seems like they already know each other. Those who are the quiet ones are the new students like me and Steph. I hope we all should get along well. After a while, a middle-aged man, holding a book entered the classroom."Good morning, students! My name is Frederick Atkison. I will be your professor in Economics." He introduces.And as a tradition, we write our names on the one-fourth sheet of paper, passed it to the Professor. He calls our names randomly and we introduce ourselves to us to know each other."Anyway, class. The uniforms are already available. You can get yours later in the admin office and starts wearing it tomorrow.""Ye
As we got to the cafeteria, we lined up to buy food. The cafeteria is very occupied and quite crowded. Well, yeah because it's the first day of school."What do you want to eat?" I ask Steph while looking at the menu board."As usual. Just a second. I'm going to pee. Be right back." She says and hurriedly walks out of the cafeteria. Speaking of her 'as usual' she is talking about her all-time favorite, jacket potato with filling and egg mayo sandwich."Are you serious? Is Khai studying here? What's his department?"I stop looking at the menu board when I heard that name. Looking at my right side, I saw two pretty tall girls are talking from the other line. He is still popular."Yes. I am dead serious. He's in a business administration department. I didn't speak to see him earlier. He is still very handsome."Yeah, he is. But he is a dead asshole too.&
I throw myself on the sofa as Steph and I got home. Very tiring. It makes me hungry. Steph throws her bag on the couch, removes his shoes, leaving her socks, then walks through the kitchen."What do you want to eat for dinner?" She asks from the kitchen."Do we still have pork? I want to eat bacon." I lazily say while my eyes are closed."There is no pork! Are you okay with chicken!?"My eyes suddenly open when I heard 'no pork,' no way. I am craving bacon. I want to eat bacon. I got up from lying."No! I will go to buy pork! Where is the key?!" I ask, yelling."I left it inside the car. Buy cheese and chicken tuna too!""Okay! Be right back." I say and leave the house.I park the car in front of the convenience store and went out. Good thing, the store hasn't closed yet."Pack this for me, please," I told the cashier as I give her the bag of meat, can of chicken tuna, and packs of che
"You!?" I slightly yell at Khai. He is walking with me while his arms are crossed over his chest. "What are you doing here?" I ask, manage to be polite."I'm going to the bathroom.""You are?" I look at him suspiciously.He nods his head, looking straight in the hallway."If so, why are you following me?""I know you need my help." He then looks at me. When did I say that anyway?I stop walking and face him. He also stops walking. "Hey, are you trying to mug on me again?" I question while raising my eyebrows. He suddenly laughs at my question which caused me stunned seeing how his heart-shaped lips parted and his white exposed. Did he just really laughs? Out of nowhere, I heard a strange sound coming from my chest. I haven't seen his laughs for three years and I missed... What? What am I saying? I look away and start walking away from him.
~*~"Do you want to eat dinner with me?" He questioned which made me look at him. He is also looking at me. Is that an invitation only? Of course, Cali. What do you expect?"Your treat?"A small smile slipped out on his lips. "Yeah. My treat." He says."Okay. Let's go!"~*~I stop walking and face him while smiling in sarcasm. "No thanks. Steph is waiting for me at home. Bye." I says and was about to take a step but he spoke."How about tomorrow?"What? Why would I eat dinner with him? Is he crazy?"I'm not free," I say, not looking at him."When is your free time then?"Why is he asking? "I don't have free time. Bye." I say then I walk away before he could speak. Why is he doing? What does he need from me?
