21. Kiss
"You only eat ramen?" Haji asked the girl who was still obviously shocked by what he did. He turned his face away and cleared his throat. The girl shook her head and adjusted her posture and then took a plastic bag to put the young man's purchases.
"Y-yes. That's just because it's cheap and then it's tasty, so it's okay." she replied but she did not look at the young man. She kept arranging the young man's purchases then handed them over.
"$ 54 dollars, sir." short response of the maiden. The young man immediately handed over the payment.
"I received $ 55 dollars. Your change is $1 dollar. Thank you, Sir." the maiden replied and handed over the change.
The young man silently took what he had bought. Meanwhile, the girl glanced at the young man as he walked towards the door before turning around and heading to the location of her ramen. She tied her hair before taking the chopsticks and eat them up again.
Unbeknownst to the girl, Haji was watching her from the location of her motorbike. He watched it eat until it stood up and took a drink.
A few hours passed but the young man was still there and watched the girl until he saw that the store was closing. Later on, he saw that Lia was walking away so he easily got on his motorbike and started it slowly until he passed the girl.
"Hey!" the young man calls the girl cause her to panic. Lia immediately turned around and saw a man in a helmet on a motorbike. Because she did not know who he was and she was scared, she immediately walked fast.
"Hey! Lia !!" she stopped at the side and saw the young man Haji wearing a helmet.
"Haji??" she asked to make sure if it was Haji or not that's why she looked back and when she found out it was Haji, she immediately walked away.
"Take a ride." Haji said to her and handed a helmet.
"Thank you but I refuse. I'll just walk because it's so close." she replied to the young man.
"Don't make me repeat myself." the young man replied seriously so the girl.
"No -----"
"There are men hanging out there. Those are perverts known as bad people here. Well, I know you can handle yourself." the young man threatened and was about to get back on his motorbike when the girl stopped him.
"Wait!" Lia stopped him so he turned to her. "Is it true?" she asked and looked worried.
"Do I look like I'm joking?" he answered seriously and turned away again.
"In that case, c-can I ride ??" Lia asked to him.
"Tss." The young man replied and turned his back on the girl and smiled as he put on his helmet. He handed Lia a helmet before he rode a motorbike.
When the girl put on her helmet, she immediately got on the motorbike but did not cling to the young man. The young man immediately started the motor causing her to hug Haji.
"Take it easy, Haji!" surprised, Lia shouted as she parted her embrace behind the young man.
"Hold on!" Haji replied seriously but immediately smiled. He felt the girl cling to his clothes so he quickly turned it on.
_______________________
It takes 15 mins when they reach their apartment. Lia immediately went off to his motorbike and took off her helmet. She put it on the motor and faced Haji who was fixing his thing.
"Thank you, Haji. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'm leaving, thank you again." Lia said and walked away and turned her back.
"Won't you just wait for me?" Haji asked causing her to look into the young man's eyes.
"You can go up alone, can't you?"
"Nevermind. Just go to my unit and teach me now. You understand?" the young man replied.
"What ??" the maiden said unbelievably.
"What now?"
"It's late! Earlier, you said that we don't have a session today." Lia replied irritably.
"Are you complaining? Didn't you need my help before to teach me because that was my Grandfather's order?" Haji asked while raising an eyebrow.
What the young man said was true. That is what Lia wanted to happen because she wanted to finish school without any other problems. She is not lazy or complaining because it's that what she want but because she is very tired because she went to two jobs. From one o'clock in the afternoon, she was washing dishes until 6 pm. Then she immediately went to the convenient store to become a saleswoman. She wants to rest first because there is still class tomorrow.
"Don't you want to? Just tell me, I will find someone. Those who are really willing to teach." said the young man. So she immediately looked at the young man and sighed deeply.
"Fine. I'll just change my clothes." the girl replied and immediately walked towards Xing's unit.
When she entered their unit, the lights were off so she knew that her friend was asleep. She immediately walked to the bedroom to get dressed and get some belongings. After that she went out again and went to the opposite unit where the young man lived.
* Ding Dong *
She rang the doorbell several times before it rang which meant that someone would open it and she was right because when the door opened, it spat out the young man while wearing an apron.
She entered and walked towards the living room followed by the young man. Even before she was seated, she sat down voluntarily because her legs were really sore.
"Wait for me here, I'm just cooking something." said the young man before finally leaving to continue cooking. The girl was slapped on the forehead and lay down on the couch because her back also hurt. She looked at her watch and saw that it was 10:40 p.m.
"It's crazy! He said that I need to teach him and now, he just cook!" low whisper of the maiden to herself. She leaned over and looked at the white ceiling.
* kringgggggggg *
While cooking, the young man listened to his cellphone ringing. So he answered immediately even though he did not know who was calling.
"What do you want?" he said emotionless.
"You naughty! What are you doing, Young Master?" Bulk replied on the other line while laughing.
"None of your business, Bulk." he replied and drop the line.
He put the cellphone back in his pocket and finish what he was cooking. When he finished It, he immediately put it on the plate and took some lemon juice from the refrigerator. He took two glasses because he he planned to prepare food also for the girl because he knew that she only ate ramen. What he was cooked was pasta that he bought at Lia's store earlier.
He took a tray to put there before walking towards the living room. He saw the girl lying but It turned her back on him so he laid the tray on the center table.
"Here. Eat this first ------" he said but he was immediately stopped when he saw the girl sleeping soundly there. He straightened up and stood staring at the girl.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was eleven o'clock at night.
"It's really late. You look very tired. How many jobs do you have?" Haji asked while looking at the sleeping girl.
He sighed and approached the girl to carry her to his room so that she could sleep comfortably because he knew it was painful to sleep on the couch. He picked up the girl and noticed It was quite light.
As he lifted the maiden, he could not help but look at her gentle face. He tried to avoid It but he was really distracted there.
When he reached the room, he slowly lowered Lia to the big bed and took the blanket to wrap around the girl's body. The weather is cold so it will definitely be cold. After putting on a blanket, he was about to walk backwards when he broke his own slippers and fell on the bed near the girl. The young man's eyes widened when he saw how close their faces were to each other. He was very grateful and the girl did not awake because of his fall.
Because of the order of their positions, he could not help but stare at the beautiful face of the girl. The eyelashes of her eyes will be flushed. Her eyebrows are perfectly suited to women. Her nose is fine but sharp. Her skin was fine and white and as smooth as radish and most of all, her little lips that looked like red apples. The young man was swallowed many timrs when he looked closely at the girl's lips. So he immediately stood up and shook his head.
"Don't be so stupid, Haji!" he shouted to himself as he closed his eyes and restrained himself. He sighed a few times but it was too late when he found out that .....
he kiss her ....
