Chapter 8

Tomorrow morning I came early to my school even I'm still sleepy, I didn't say goodbye to my parents because I am not ready to see my daddy, I already in the taxi when I text my mom.

Because I'm too early I text Demin that I'll wait for him at the gate, and because I want my mood changes in this they, hoping that this will be a good mood

"You're early..." I raised my head when I heard Demin's voice, he's walking towards me while wearing his big smile and I can't control myself by smiling at him.

"I want to wait for you here," I said but his smile fade. When he is in front of me he gets my bag and starts to walk.

"Is your sleep was good?" He asked and the things that happened last night are now getting to my sight.

"hm? Yeah," I just said without any words.

"That's good, maybe you are thinking of me that's why you sleep well."He jokes I laugh with it.

" Maybe, at maybe not"I teased, and he stops and looks at me while his lanky eyes, what is wrong with my joke? I was joking also.  I smiled awkwardly 'There' s a lot of projects and it's bothering me while thinking of you" I feel corny of what I said, but I think he's not, he's now wearing his big and cute smile.

"You" He amused tone" you always thinking of me?"He asked, I just nod and smile, while I'm staring at him I  realized that now he is my medicine with the wounds my parents did to me that now the pain I experience last night is fading out even not all pain but at least he made me happy with him.

I can't erase my smile even I'm already here in my classroom. But then, the smile that Demin makes me, is now gone when sir Dennise opens a topic about family.

"Who among you are in broken family" Some of my classmates raise their hand, and I can't take my eyes off with the chair in front of me while plating my hands.

"Complete? Sir Dennis asked, and all my classmate who did not raise their hand with the broken family is now raising their hands and I am still keeping my hands down. I can't even answer that question, I can't... Because I did not know what was the stage of my family now.

"Alona" I heard sir Dennis getting my attention but, it doesn't make sense, I can't answer what was the answer, and I'm getting hurt with that kind of question.

"Hey. Sir Dennis is calling you!" Bea whispered at me in her mad tone I looked at her before at sir Deniss, He is now serious.

"I called you many times, is there something wrong?" He asked even I know he's irritated at me.

"No sir, I'm sorry sir" I apologize

"It's fine, I'm asking who's complete or broken family here, and you even did not raise your hand with those two, aren't you listening to my class?" I can see that e is now mad, I bow my head and shook my head. "So, what is your problem? we're having a survey and you didn't cooperate" he added

"I'm sorry sir, I know the answer, I said and they all looked at me, why I said that!

"What do you mean?" And now sir Dennis changes his mood, and like it, he now has pity on me but I don't like to open this topic, for now, I don't if we're complete or not" I smiled, and sir Dennis took his heavy breath, and I know my classmate is now looking at me, and I can't see them how they pity me.

"it's fine," sir said, and I didn't look at him again.

Our class ends my mood at all subject ends are didn't change, I still staring at the chair and didn't look at everyone, and lunchtime Bea and Joshua sat beside me.

"hey, your prince charming was waiting for you" Bea teased, I raised my head and my eyes drop at the door where Demin stood, he is now smiling which make me too.

"tsked!, you aren't talking in the classes and even smiled or look at us but when Demin shows up you're smiled can't hide!" Bea said, I laugh, because of how she tones her sentence of being a concern at me.

"you go first Alona, we follow you to the canteen"

I stood up and walk to the door, Demin wearing his sweet time making me melt.

"Hi" He greets, and he still smiling"

"Hello" I greeted back

"Let's go?" I just nod and walk behind him

When we're in the canteen, Demin ordered for the two of us, and Bea and Josh are now sitting at our table.

I beside Demin and in front are Bea and Joshua.

"Yeah, Alona is happy again" Bea make a joke I felt that Demin look at me, so I look back and now he's wearing a questionable look, I smiled at him.

"What's the problem," He asked.

"Nothing" I shook my head and gave him a convincing smile, but he let a deep breath showing that he is not convinced. "Is all gone ok? I'm fine because you're here" I whispered because we have Bea at our table and now he's smiling.

"So, tell me what is your problem?" He asked again, I don(t know but that kind of question making me fluttered.

I held his hand under the table and smiled at him "I'll tell you in the afternoon

We finished our lunch with happiness, and afternoon comes were on the gate when Demin asked again his question during lunch, he did not forget that he wants me to tell what my problem and he always said that he will stay beside me, that he always there for me, so because of his smiled and words I told him not all but most of what happened last night I did not say that I met someone and go outside at night

"You'll be okay soon, and I'm here always for you,  I'll stay with you," he said like he is sure of what the word he came out from his mouth, and now there's a lot of butterflies in my stomach, playing around inside it, and he makes me feel special with his word.

I just nod and smiled at him, he insisted to bring me home, and he said that to lessen the pain I feel, that's why he wants to stay beside me, I feel glad for him, I do love him.
