“I won, Janine. Give me the half million!” Shia says.“Me too!” Josh and Aeron says, I raised my eyebrow.“Bavina! Why did you betray me?! If you didn’t comeback to him, I should’ve won!” Janine complains to me. My eyebrows arched.“We had a bet if you two will go back to each other. Since you came back to each other, me, Shia, and Josh are the winner,” Aeron explains, I glared at them.“You’re not a kid anymore!” I scolded them but they ignored me.After I thought wisely if I could accept him again, the four made a bet already. Wow, they are a good friends!We told them about our relationship already, everyone is happy, except for Janine who lost the bet.“There’s no back-out on this group, Janine!” Aeron teased Janine. She frowns.“Give me your bank accounts, half million is just coins for me. Do you want own land? Resort?” she asks to the three that made us laugh.“I want airplane!” Josh answers that made us laugh again.“I want boyfriend!” Shia yelled.“You won’t get a boyfriend!”
I smiled when I saw Aeron and Josh, they are going to stay here to welcome the new year.“Uncle Aeroooon!” Pauline shouted before she run towards Aeron.It’s been days but it feels like they knew each other for so long because Pauline is really close with Josh and Aeron already.We’re currently here in our rooftop while waiting for the new year. It’s 11pm already but Pauline is still jolly.“We’re here, b*tches!” Janine shouted while walking towards us.She went to me and hug me.“You’re overreacting again, Janine!” Shia complains.“Why do you care?! Mind your own business!” Janine fired back, I laugh a little.They walk towards Josh‘s and Aeron’s direction since the beers are there already to celebrate the new year. I stopped when I saw who arrived next.He smiled at me.“Hi,” he says, I smile.“Aren’t you mad?” I ask, he laugh as he shakes his head.“I’m happy for you, Bavina. You know that I have nothing more to ask but to see you happy,” he says, I smiled and hugged him.“Ethan, I
In the middle of the rain, Love is what we might find. Like when you’re sitting on the long chair while waiting for the bus but in the middle of your waiting and the rain, you would find someone who could change your life. I clicked the publish before I kept my phone in my pocket. I’m currently here in our university’s garden since we don’t have a class for our last subject. It’s too early also, the guards won’t probably let me leave during class hour, so I stayed here. My eyes automatically shut when I felt the wind hugging my body. I heard my phone rings, I smiled when I saw that a lot of my readers have read the recent poem I just published earlier. I’m a writer, I write poems and novels ever since I found out that my passion is writing. I won’t deny the fact that a lot of people are reading my pieces on the platform where I’m wr
Paul’s POV “You’re so unfair! I’m still a student for Pete’s sake. Are you f*cking out of your right mind?!” I shouted. I can feel that my hands are trembling while I’m giving my Dad a glare. “Watch your words, Paul!” he said with his serious voice, “You know our business will get massive once you and Tacia will get married!” “Our business is big already, Dad! I will never get married with that girl! You know she’s the reason whymy life became miserable before, and now you want me to get married with her? You’re a worthless Father!” I held my lips when I felt his strong punch on me. I moved my jaw. “I told you to watch your words when you’re talking to me. You looked like your Mother!” I wenttowards him and grabbed his collar as I glared at him more, “Don’t you ever try to mention her here. If I know that I’d end up li
“W-what?” “Just tell me if you want,” he saysbefore he ate his foods again. I can’t take my eyes off of him because of shock. Out of the blue,he’s going to ask me something like that?! “I-I mean excuse me, don’t get me wrong, okay?” he sayswhile laughingwhen he noticed that I’m still looking at him with my mouth open. “I’m simply asking you if you want to help me get rid of the problem I’m facing,” he added that made me somehow breathe freely. I was about to assume that he likes me! “What’s the problem?” I askedout of curiousity. “I actually went to our mansion last night to meet my Dad, unfortunately he just told me to get married. Well, I’m hundred percent against of it because I’m still not ready, and I wanna graduate first,” he explained, “That’s why I’m asking you if you want me to be your
Bavina’s POV “Where are you going? It’s dark outside already,” I heard Shia’s voice while I’m fixing myself, I looked at her. “I’m just going to the mall, I heard there’s a sale in the bookstore, so,” I excused that made her nod at me. I can’t say that I’m going to meet someone. Besides, this will only happen today, so it’s not a big deal. I grabbed my bag and went outside of my room while she went straight in her room. There’s two rooms in our house, so we have our own privacy. *** I looked at the surroundings in the whole coffee shop to find Paul, I smiled when I noticed him waving at me, I walked towards him. “What’s your order?” he asked. I chuckled, “Aren’t you gonna ask me where’s your phone?” He laughed, I gave him his phone.
We’re both silent here in his car. I don’t know how long we’re staying like this. Shia keeps on calling me also but I turned off my phone.“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t expect that they will say those words to you,” he broke the silence with his apology. I didn’t speak for I don’t know what to say.All I know is that his Dad’s and that Tacia’s words hurt my pride. I didn’t also plan to yell at his Dad, I just couldn’t take those words he was saying to me.I don’t do revenge but…“Why me?” I asked out of the blue.“I… don’t know.” I heard his deep breath.“Let’s continue pretending,” I says with a serious tone.I felt his gaze on me but I didn’t waste a second to look at him.“H-Hey, you don---”I didn’t let him finish his line.“You asked me if I want you to be my fake boyfriend, right? Well, my answer is yes. Let’s continue pretending and make sure you won’t get married to Tacia,” I said before I looked at him with a serious eyes.“Give me the contract,” I added. He gave me the contract, I
“What do you mean?” I looked at Bavina, “Even in the university, we’re still going to pretend. If this is the only solution not to get married with Tacia, I’m desperate to do it. I don’t care about what other people would think. Besides, we have a contract, I’m going to pay you everytime.” “Hey, wait, do you really have to do this?” Shia asked. “Do we still have a choice?” Bavina answered her with a question. I stayed silent while the two girls are arguing in front of me. She seems not scared. She seems determined because of the tone of her voice. Well, it’s okay if she’s doing this on purpose or what, all I wanted is not to get married with my ex, Tacia. *** Bavina’s POV When we arrived in front of our house, Shia got off of the car immediately since she’s sleepy already. It’s also so late. “Are you sure you’re okay with it?” he asked that made me look at him. I suddenly thought of it, there’s a part of me that it’s okay since I’m earning and I’m helping him. I’ve seen Tacia’
