PROOF OF A PROMISE

Upon their return from mini tour, Erika without saying anything entered the classroom. She left Edo who's walking behind. After that, He followed her go inside.

After getting permission from the physics teacher to join the lessons, Erika went straight to her seat, followed by Edo. During the lesson, without Erika realized, Edo watched her continuously. All of Erika's movements did not escape the attention of Edo who's sitting in the back row.

The last lesson is over. The school bell rang. Almost all the seats in the class were empty. Even the girls which surrounded Edo had dispersed. However, only Erika remained in the class. She looks busy struggling with unfinished assignment, without noticing Edo's presence behind her.

"What are you writing?" asked Edo peering behind Erika's back. Edo was curious about what Erika had written since the school bell rang. Edo looked at Erika's desk which was littered with books and bags placed on it.

"You're not go home yet?" Erika was shocked. She glanced briefly at the voice behind her seat.

"I asked first."

"Oh, this-----, Erika took the book and showed Edo what she's been writing. "I am copying the whole data our friend and recapping class cash data."

"What it is for?"

"Which one do you mean?"

"All of it."

Erika gave him full of attention this time. Sitting by turning sideways facing Edo who sat on the bench behind Erika's seat. Holding two notebooks in hand, Erika explained the contents of the two books. "This red book contains the personal data of classmates while this green book contains our class cash data."

Edo held his own chin as he said, "You are so very busy until the class cash data also you have to do it."

"I did for temporary. Coincidentally the one who takes care of the class treasury is absent for today."

"Then, what is the cash used for?"

"It used for a lot of thing. For example is for class purposes, class events, and for social purposes if one of our friends and family is sick."

In the middle of her explanation, Erika remembered with something came up in her head, "Oh, yeah…I also need your personal data to hand over to our homeroom teacher." She urged Edo to immediately provide the information she needed.

It turn to fill in the phone data, Edo wrote down the phone number on a different piece of paper and gave it to Erika. "This is my number, keep it." Edo asked while handing the paper into Erika's hand.

"These two numbers are different." Erika says while showing it to Edo. "The number in this book is the same as the number you gave during the introduction. But-----"

"You remember my number?" Edo suddenly cut in with a big smile on his lips.

"No. I just saw the three digits on the last of your number. And it's different from the one you gave me just now." She's denial it with her shoulders lifted up while still waiting for Edo's answer.

"Because of it is my private number."

"Then this one?" Erika showed the number written on her red book.

"Call it a number for everyone."

"Then why did you give me your private number?"

"It is because I like you."

Erika snorted in annoyance, "Then you give your personal number to everyone you like?" She left the paper of number that Edo had written on her desk. "You such a really are everything I can think of." Erika pouted as she cleaned up her books lying on the table then put them in her bag.

"Wait a moment." Edo held Erika's hand who was loading her book, "What did you mean just now?"

Looking straight into Edo's eyes, Erika said "You really are an expert, do you know?"

"No. Try to explain."

"Are you the kind of person who likes to collect the numbers of the girls you like on your other phone? And, keeping them in numerical order?"

"I don't give my personal number to just anyone."

Erika closed her bag and stood up from her seat, "Ah, never mind..." She continued to leave, but then Edo grabbed hold of her by pulling her bag from behind.

"Do not go yet."

"Let go me. I have to go to the teacher's room to submit this data." Erika tried to let go of her bag which seemed in vain. Edo's tall posture and his position which is back of Erika are caused her to be unable to let go of her school bag.

"It seems that you are misunderstanding?"

"Oh, really I do?"

"I've never once given my private number to any girl, except is you."

"I don't care. Move away." Erika tried to shift Edo's body towering in front of her and blocking her way.

"Give me your number first, otherwise…Then I won't let you go."

Have no choice, Erika wrote down some numbers which were then handed over to Edo. "This. Now, can I-----"

"Not yet."

"What it is else!" She grumbled, glancing angrily at Edo who took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket, "What do you want?" asked Erika with a displeased face.

"I'll give it a try now." Edo replied, starting to press the numbers on his cellphone screen with the numbers on the paper that Erika gave him.

"You don't believe me?"

"I just want to make sure."

Edo put the phone to his ear as soon as he finished pressing the phone button on his phone. "I didn't hear your phone ringing?" asked Edo with raised eyebrows.

Erika gave a signal to release her bag from Edo's grip. She opened her bag and took her phone out of her bag. She pointed her phone screen in front of Edo. "Satisfied?"

Edo smirked in satisfaction. He pressed the red button on his phone to stop making calls. He put the phone back in his school pants pocket and said, "Yeah, for now." He closed with a big smile.

Erika put her phone back in her bag. And, she rushed out of the classroom. "Thanks for accompany me, but you can go home." She was just taking one foot out when Edo's voice stopped her.

"I mean it." Edo said firmly by walking definitely towards Erika who was standing in front of the classroom door.

"About?"

"That I like you."

Erika turned to Edo with a smile on her lips she said, "My answer is still NO."

Edo brought his face closer to Erika's face. His body closed the distance between them. "I'll prove it to you." He whispered gently with stroking Erika's head. "Then, be prepared."

"For what?"

"For accept me as your boyfriend." Edo closed words with soft voice yet firm. He kissed the top of Erika's head before leaving Erika alone with a flushed face and an immeasurable shocking
