From afar I could see he was smiling at me so elegently on his bicycle. The soft breeze making me easily shiver under his stare.
I don't know why I got so lucky to having him by my side since two years ago. We didn't do anything other than staring each other while studying in the library alone sitting on the opposite table but facing each other together.
He gave me his smile first but not me. I just knew it after I got some strange pull came from the table in front of me. Well, more to say that I was on my games didn't care about the real world at all.
Too much focusing until I leaves a small snickering voices and grimaced displaying clearly on my face. I was defeated by that crazy monster!
Such a waste!
Upon adjusting my blurry sight, he just looking at my direction with a smile.
First I ignored it because I just thought he was smiling to someone else on my back so...I simply didn't care about it.
Puckered my lips, I just get back my senses towards my lab reports on the table.
Damn much reports I had to settle today before submitting them tomorrow. Just so you know, I was a very last minutes person! Everything I took for granted at first but then I was havoc-ing my life just to settle everything!
Once my classmates knew who I was, they simply let me 'alone' in completing the lab reports or if not they leaves me with a simple task to resolve some calculations or some 'short' discussion after. That means, I had to finish it first before I got us busted late and the marks being deducted.
Thus, I was the one to be blamed like usual.
That was happened last two years of my freshmen life as a student here but now...not anymore.
I've got someone who willingly helping me 'correcting' my life style.
"You know babe, once it became usual it will always be usual. Change for good cause it will leaves you under good impression so now...be a good person not as good giving a smile to everyone but making them remember you as how was your smile to them...got it?"
I just nodded on what he was saying. At first I don't really care but when I was deeply swim under the advices, I was realised that...life is beautiful but to be beautiful in that we should be the beautiful one through our actions. Not even beautiful from the outside doesn't mean your inside ugly or vice versa.
"How was your class?"
That was his first sentence for me.
I was so confused at first not really getting what he was try to implying to me.
"Okay..." I just replied it nonchalantly.
He smiled.
You know that he was always smile any under circumstances. It was weird and why he always like that?
"I could see you struggling to complete the report by yourself..."
Me: "..." sorry mister I don't get it!
"I'll help you..." he said again.
Me: "..." blinking holding my foolscap paper in the air.
He did help me but he just sitting in front of me doing his work and I was doing my work. At first I feel a little awkward and uncomfortable at the same time but once I was immerse under the tasks, I could finished them all while he was there with me.
He did his work but I don't know what kind of work he did before me.
Hmm...maybe he got bored do the job alone so he just decided to join me...
Well, I'm okay with that as long as he stay silently there.
Of course I chose library compared to my shared room uphill as my residence. Too much noises and couldn't do any work at all.
The more eerie the situation the more I was under the job until I realised I was too much in my working system didn't took serious about my well being.
I forgot to do the essential like eating, drinking, bathing and else under this kind of spell.
Now...
He was here with me, cycling his own bike around the campus every late afternoon.
I admire his attitude. So 'soft'!
Yeah...the way he treated everyone making me always remembered of what I did in my previous days of life.
The way he expressed his expression, his speeches leaving people in a good vibes.
Oh my...is he some kind of angel disguised as a man?
"You're late...is something happened, babe?"
"Just a little cramped..." I answered him bashful displayed on my cheeks clearly.
He just smiled at that didn't say anything about it because he knew what I was talking about.
"Come join me at the back..."
What a beautiful offer that I couldn't resist!
Of course I am!
I was beamed excitedly and causing him to chuckles looking at my childish act.
He cycle the bike slowly just to make sure that I was okay at the back. At first I just grab his side shirt to hold on but for quite sometime I didn't realised I was hugging his waist tightly.
Crap! The cramped coming like an ocean wave...now I'm having a monsoon no longer in summer state condition.
It's hurt!
"Are you okay back there?" he asked me.
I just nodding my head on his back clamming my lips didn't uttered a single words.
"Babe?"
He called me and I nodded once indicated that I heard him.
"Can I request something from you?"
I nodded once again.
"Be my girl?"
Just like that?
He asked me to be his girl just like that?
He stopped didn't turning at me.
I was speechless there still hugging him.
He was waiting for my response...
What should I say to him back?
I couldn't reject him but afraid to accept it...
He chuckled nervously at me, scratching his head didn't know what to do. I could heard his rumbling on his back.
"Answer me if you ready~"
"Yes...I agree..." I cut off his sentences with my answer.
Really?
When?
He was stunned there. I could feel his body tensed up but a minutes later he was back to his normal self.
I knew he was smiling because I was smiling shyly now. Suppressing my small laugh, he place his left hand on the back of my hands that was currently all around his waist.
The heat rose up to my cheeks from the bottom of my stomach, I guessed.
The buzzing I could heard it clearly.
He went back cycling the bike. I was couldn't stopped my smile on my face forgetting about our surrounding and of course my monsoon cramped down there.
"Thanks babe!"
"Why me K?" I asked him back after he thanks me, wondering of his reasoning behind all this wonderful asking-confession. ☺️☺️...
"Cause you are L. After K it will always be L as his companion."
Me: "..." err...
"I will always looking after you, L..." he emphasised the word after and my name.
I tighten my hugging pressing my face even more at his back. I knew instantly the meaning behind his reasoning.
"Before me...you will always for me..."
I don't know where the words came from was until I realised that it was my confession for him like he did confessed at me before.
Owh...I was beyond shyness right now! Sheepyness hiding my whole face on his back.
He chuckled wholeheartedly and I was laughing shyly fanning my hotness faces.
"I'm going home tomorrow..." suddenly he tell me about his day tomorrow.
"Mommy want me to bring you together after you agree with my request..."
"What?" I was in disbelief gawking at his another request.
"Yeah...she knows you since our very first moments."
He told his mother about me? Err...
"She wanted to meet you in person..."
"But~" what should I do?
"Don't worry... she's a nice person. I promised nothing harm done happen to both of you. Mommy already hang her flag up high just to have you with us..."
"Urmm...okay..." I nodded answering his second request for today.
