25. Laura's Favorite Place

"I just found out that there is someone who can like a person who in the end only gives him death."

- Laura Chintya Bella

A few minutes later, Angkasa came out of the bathroom neatly. He raised his eyes to look at Laura's figure, who was already waiting for him in front of the bathroom door.

"Huh? Laura, are you done?" Angkasa observed Laura's appearance, wearing a mini dress that showed her long legs.

"I'm done."

Laura folded her arms in front of her chest, observing Angkasa's appearance. She felt something was missing after seeing Angkasa wearing the shirt and jeans she gave him. Angkasa's appearance was too neat that it interfered with Laura's vision.

"Tsk, why do you look so neat? We're going to a club instead of going to a tourist spot!" Laura took a step closer to Angkasa.

Angkasa's heart skipped a beat as Laura closed the distance between them. He even felt Laura's breath against his face. Laura's height was as far as Angkasa's ears, so their faces were almost parallel.

Laura stretched out her hand to change the appearance of Angkasa to what she wanted. She unbuttoned the top two buttons of the shirt and tucked one of the bottoms of the shirt into his jeans. Angkasa's appearance, which was originally neat, has now turned a little messy and gives a naughty impression.

"Hm… This is just right." Laura slid her hand into Angkasa's shirt, which was open to reveal the man's chest.

Angkasa's face instantly burned with an agonizing feeling of shame and nervousness. He couldn't control his heartbeat, which was beating faster and faster. Angkasa felt that Laura must have heard and felt his heart beating, which sounded embarrassing.

"Huh? What's this sound?" Laura put her ear to Angkasa's chest to hear the voice she heard coming from the man. She also realized that Angkasa was pounding when he was near her.

Angkasa averted his gaze while covering his bright red face with his palms. He really wanted to hide, so Laura wouldn't hear his heartbeat.

"Laura, ... stop hearing the sound of my heartbeat. I'm embarrassed…" Angkasa revealed his feelings to Laura's figure, who now raised her gaze.

Laura smiled crookedly, looking at Angkasa who seemed to be about to explode with shame. She took the initiative to distance herself from Angkasa and turned towards the bedroom door.

"Apparently you can feel fluttering near me too. It's really interesting." Laura stepped out of the room, followed by Angkasa trying to calm his heartbeat.

Angkasa remembered that Laura was wearing a mini dress that might make the girl cold. Therefore, Angkasa opened the closet and took a blazer that was about below the knee length with long sleeves for Laura to use later. He ran out of the room carrying the blazer in his arms.

Honk! Honk!

Laura pressed the car horn to warn Angkasa to come soon. She saw from the car the figure of Angkasa who came out of the house carrying an object. After getting into the car and sitting beside the driver's seat, Laura learned that it was one of her clothes.

"Why did you bring my blazer?"

Angkasa, who put the blazer in the back seat of the car, immediately turned his gaze to Laura. "I brought that because the dress you're wearing might make you cold, Laura."

Laura chuckled, annoyed and decided to immediately start the car. When the car came out of the yard, another car entered the yard. Judging from the car's rearview mirror, Laura knew that the car was her father's car, who had just come home from work.

( "I knew he would be home soon. Luckily, I already have other plans to escape from his non-essential chatter!" ) Laura smiled sarcastically thinking about her father who must not take overtime hours because of Angkasa's presence.

Angkasa didn't seem to notice any car that crossed Laura's car because his attention was focused out the window. He lowered his head when he felt a chill seep into his chest, which was clearly visible because the top two buttons of his shirt were opened by Laura.

"Uhm… Laura, may I button my shirt? It's cold, Laura." Angkasa asked the question in a careful tone so as not to offend Laura. After all, it was Laura who made the appearance of Angkasa like that. So, Angkasa felt bad asking permission to change his appearance.

Laura shook her head firmly. "No way! If you change your appearance without my permission, I'll leave you on the side of the road!"

"No! I can't go home if you drop me off at the side of the road, Laura… I don't know the area yet…" Angkasa grabbed Laura's hand, persuading the girl to get rid of her intention that sounded threatening to Angkasa.

In fact, Angkasa doesn't know the area around him, let alone the road to Laura's house or school. He was like a lost person if Laura really dropped him by the side of the road because Angkasa would surely stray wherever he went.

Laura smiled with satisfaction because Angkasa would obey her words. She also returned the grasp of Angkasa's hand and stroked the back of the man's hand for a few seconds. "Good! Since today is your first day back at school, and you are very obedient, I will throw a party for you. Vikram will also come to our appointment."

Angkasa was pounding again just because of Laura's touch, which lasted for a few seconds. He held the back of his hand, which Laura had stroked. Angkasa until this moment still feels the warmth that comes from Laura's hand, which makes him fall in love with the girl even more.

"Angsa, we've arrived. This is a place I used to go almost every day after school before you came into my life." Laura parked the car in front of a busy looking place.

Angkasa looked out the window at Laura's favorite place. The outside of the place was so bright it was dazzling to the eye. Moreover, the presence of two burly men standing next to the door that served as access in and out of the place added a tense impression as well as increased curiosity.

( "Laura likes places like this?" ) Angkasa felt a little uncomfortable being in a place filled with crowds. Moreover, the people entering and leaving the place were wearing almost the same clothes as Laura's. Some even wear dresses that are more revealing. Not to mention, the men who came out of the place always took more than one woman.

"Why are you silent? You don't want to come in?" Laura realized that Angkasa felt strange about the place they were in. She decided to get out of the car regardless of Angkasa's response.

"Laura, wait for me!" Angkasa immediately got out of the car and followed Laura, who had stepped closer to the line of people who would enter the place.
