45. Not a Good Girl
"Felix, wait for mom! Mom is just choosing clothes for a moment!"
"Hah..."
Felix slapped his forehead in frustration, the word for a while was used, but in fact the word meant hours. Felix didn't expect that his mother had returned from America and now it was bothering him.
"Mr Felix?"
"Oh?"
"What a coincidence..."
Felix smiled half hearing Maya's voice teasing him, the two of them are now walking together around the book stands at the mall. This was because Felix had no other choice, after all they met outside like this only once in a while.
"So you accompanied your mother shopping?"
Felix nodded. "That's how it is."
"Must be annoying huh..."
"Too annoying."
"But I applaud you for wanting to do it, usually people would immediately refuse."
"Oh yeah? Do you also do what other people do?"
"Yeah.. it's been a long time haha..." Maya looked down. "Now I regret that before I didn't want to obey my mother to accompany her shopping."
Now Felix understands by seeing Maya's regretful face, this is the reason Felix has always wanted to accompany Maya. He melts easily with this look on Maya's face, of course Felix understands because he is a psychology graduate.
"Hey, look at this book."
"Life lesson huh..."
"I collect books like this, haha.. sometimes I even shed tears reading them."
"You talk try to read this book in front of me."
"Where?"
Maya asked while approaching Felix and at that moment Dara suddenly stood in front of Felix, blocking Maya from approaching the man. Maya, who was shocked, stared intently at Dara, she didn't like seeing other girls approaching her idol.
"Who are you?!"
"Heh..! I should be the one asking.. who are you? How dare you approach my boyfriend!"
"What? Lover?!" Maya screamed in disapproval.
"Yes, he is my lover."
"What are you pretending to do!"
Dara grinned. "What is this, Mister Felix?"
"Dara, I can explain."
"Explain? After I saw you walking with her in this mall? Wow..."
"You misunderstood, honey."
Maya flinched. "Honey?"
Felix touched Dara's shoulder but Dara brushed it off harshly, the girl looked at Felix with a sharp gaze. Meanwhile, Felix panicked and kept trying to explain everything, but Dara didn't want to listen to him at all.
"So... are you Mrs. Maya engaged to Mr. Felix?"
"Eh?"
"Engaged? What did you say?" asked Felix confused.
"You don't need to hide everything from me anymore, actually I've known this for a long time. I overheard this lady's words about your engagement relationship, I didn't want to believe it, but after seeing you guys like this.. hahaha.. it's amazing.. ."
"That's not true, honey.. listen to me first..."
"Stop calling me that," Dara hissed.
"Miss Maya, tell she if it's not true."
Dara snorted. "What the hell? Even though I heard this truth straight from her tongue."
"Miss Maya?"
Maya's body trembled, the woman did not know that Felix already had a lover, nor did she want to believe it. But she felt she never confessed to Felix because of random people, she only did it when she threatened Dhian.
Maya flinched, the woman remembered when she threatened Dhian to stay away from Felix. When the basket match is in progress, Dhian comes home after the girl finds out that Felix is engaged to Maya.
And after Dhian came home, Maya saw Dara sitting where Dhian had been before. Had the girl heard Dhian talking, she didn't know what was going on here, but this shouldn't have happened.
"Miss Maya?" asked Felix to awaken Maya.
Maya clenched her fists. "Sorry..."
"So, you..."
Dara suddenly laughed loudly and made many mall visitors make them the center of attention, Felix and Maya leaked that Dara didn't understand, he don't know what Dara was thinking right now.
"But it doesn't matter if you two are really engaged, after all..." Dara brought her close to Felix's ear. "You think I really like you?"
Felix's eyes widened, his body trembled unbelievably when he saw Dara grinning in satisfaction and the girl's way of speaking sounded different than usual. Felix seemed to see Dara's terrible figure, this must have just been Dara's game because she was too disappointed in him.
"What do you mean?" asked Felix doubtfully.
"Hahaha.. gosh, Mr. Felix.. you're so funny.. I can't possibly date a man who plays with women like you, of course I.. also plays with you..."
"What...?" Felix's voice caught.
"It's been funny all this time? But, sir, you want to know why I want to follow your game? Aa-! I actually really hate you, sir. You are.. so annoying, I have such a big grudge against you."
"What did I do wrong? What have I done to make you like this, Dara?"
"Umm.. you don't realize it? Aa.. right, you don't know my true identity," Dara laughed again. "The point is you already know my bad side, right? Huh.. you even made me pretend to hate my best friend, he must be very disappointed in me.. but.. I also wasn't sincere with him."
"Darling, you..."
"Why? You hate me like this, right? Or... you didn't expect to see me like this?"
"Dara..."
"Huh.. I'm tired of talking to you. So, since I've been found out like this..." Dara patted Felix's cheek lightly. "Our relationship ends here, thank you for the entertainment these past few days..."
Dara smiled and left just like that, while Felix, who wanted to chase after him, was held back by Maya. The man lowered his head with his hands tightly clenched, how could Dara come this far.
"Miss Maya, what have you been telling people?"
"It..."
"Tell me!"
"Sorry..." Maya lowered her head deeply with teary eyes. "I said that because I like you... I'm sorry, I did as I pleased. But- that girl was also just playing with you, right?!"
Felix gritted his teeth. "If you like someone what do you have to do? I don't even want to look at you, Miss Maya."
"Mr Felix?"
"Tsk..! Disgusting woman," Felix hissed.
Deg
Maya froze in place hearing Felix's last words before the man left, not long after, Maya immediately ran away with tears flowing. While Felix is now where his mother is shopping.
"Wow... that was a drama, wasn't it? How exciting..." a man grinned after witnessing Maya's departure. "Then, what are you doing here... Dhian?"
