Chereads / Asih Without Love / Chapter 25 - Invitation to The Library

Chapter 25 - Invitation to The Library

Alfred glanced at Bella who was hiding in his armpit (embraced), Bella nodded which meant telling Alfred to forgive Bella's two friends who were just stupid, of course for Bella's sake Alfred would obey.

"Yeah, because you're Bella's friends. So I forgive you."

"It's cool," said Keyla and Tata together while giving a high five.

Ica gawked because she had been ignored by them.

"Come on, our, Keyla … first before it's full." Tata invites while pulling Tata's hand.

"Well, why did I leave. Wait!" Ica followed them in a hurry.

Before Alfred and Bella actually left. Alfred looked at Asih.

He thought it was a strange face, at the same time Asih saw it too and then lowered his head out of fear and shame.

Alfred's gaze was frightening for Asih. Caucasian face is so firm and his enmity with Bara can also be felt by him.

When Alfred glanced at Asih, at the same time Bella glanced at Bara who didn't pay attention to her steps.

Bara pretended to be calm chatting with Hilman and Tobi.

After a moment of silence, Alfred and Bella came out, followed by Bara and his two friends—Hilman and Tobi.

After they too disappeared, Fira ordered Asih to get out of the way and Hasan was also seen waiting for Fira by the door.

He now took off his jacket and didn't hang the earphones over his ears, his clothes were also neatly tucked in. So pleasing to the eye. 

"Asih," he called suddenly, Fira was also surprised.

Asih looked up, after half a step walking, she also wanted to go to the canteen to have a snack.

"Yeah, what's wrong Hasan?"

"Do you want to come with us to the library?" Hasan asked, sounding sincere.

Asih hesitates, because Fira looks like she doesn't like it and even expresses her dislike.

"Why did you invite him? It's just the two of us," he protested, holding Hasan's hand trying to force the man to leave in a hurry.

"Poor Fir. You just don't know what it's like if you don't have a friend." Hassan defended.

But Asih didn't want to bother them either. Asih thinks that the two are dating and Asih doesn't want to be a mosquito.

"Hehe, it's okay Hasan. I want to go to the canteen to have a snack. Thanks for the offer, excuse me." Asih passed them.

"B-but," Hasan stammered, "if you have a snack and you want to chat with us. We're in the library, you can come," shouted Hasan from behind. 

Asih just gave a thumbs up to Hasan and Fira, who still had a disapproving expression while pinching Hasan's hand.

"You, why did you invite him?"

"Poor, Fira."

"Our lives are calm now, don't add to it ah." Fira then walked first to the library annoyed.

Hasan, who was used to Fira's attitude, just smiled and followed the woman from behind.

"Ye … angry." Hassan chuckled.

Meanwhile Asih, who had gone to the cafeteria alone, was confused.

Asih, look around, the canteen is so crowded.

Crowded with people treated by Alfred. But, looking here and there, Bara and her friends, Hilman and also Tobi weren't there.

"Where are they?" Asih muttered while still glancing at the benches that were already lined up densely by school children.

Like ants taking turns carrying food, densely crawling with sights in their hands, almost all of them holding something.

Whether it's drinks, bowls, and even those who still hold their money because they haven't received service from the merchant.

Asih reminds him of his high school first. The conditions are very much different, not just the facilities and styles of each student and student.

It's just that Asih's status is behind a high school uniform. She is no longer a virgin, no longer a mama papa's child who after school screams for the whereabouts of his parents.

Now the situation and conditions are very different. Usually, at school, it was during recess—Dandi, his girlfriend always visited Asih in class just to say hello.

The man who had been a good girlfriend for Asih in the last year, could no longer be seen now.

In fact, Dandi had promised to free Asih from the landlord's trap.

But until now Asih still has not heard from him, nor from Neneng, his close friend.

"Who are you looking for? Bara?" a question that made Asih's head reflexively turn back to the position where the man was standing now.

Not only alone, he was with his girlfriend and two bodyguards, Vino and Alex.

Meanwhile, Bella's gang has been busy with other students jostling to order their orders.

Add micin, sauce, and pepper to taste.

Bella smiled at Asih. On his right shoulder is Alfred's arm that reaches down.

It really shows two naughty lovebirds, that's what crossed Asih's mind.

Even though Asih is also dating, Dandi has never embraced her like that.

Dandi is too kind to do all kinds of things to Asih, including never even holding her hand.

Asih hesitated to answer. But he tried.

"Mmm, no, I just wanted to have a snack."

Alfred's lips dropped, revealing a disdainful face.

"Don't worry, what message do you want? You know I already said, I treat everyone. Including you, even though you're Bara's cousin."

Bella was just silent, she was like a dancer who bowed obediently beside her king.

Asih doesn't know what happened between Bella, Bara and Alfred. But Bella's expression was a hundred and eighty degrees different from yesterday.

Was he not happy to get back with Alfred? Asih guessed so. But why did Bella act like a buffalo with her nose poked? That's weird.

But Asih doesn't want to care about other people's business. He just wants to buy snacks for the first time here, at least even though he doesn't have close friends here, there are snacks that will accompany Asih's loneliness.

"No, thanks for the offer. Excuse me," replied Asih with a polite bow and after that went to the canteen which provides ordinary snacks like most stalls, because snacks such as Tofu Baso, Fish Baso, Bakso Noodles and various other snacks that are soupy and spicy, there are already loyal customers who are willing to stand in long lines. .

Asih does not want to linger here.

"She was probably told by Bara not to accept Mister's treats, I think," said Vino as he put his hand on Alfred's shoulder.

"That's right," said Alex.

Alfred thought that too, or maybe Asih had enough money so she didn't want the free ones.

Prestige, his cousin a Bara would refuse. But now Alfred was starting to dislike Vino being rude to him by putting his hand on Alfred's shoulder. The burden of life alone, Alfred thought.

Alfred's sharp eyes looked to his left side, Vino was still looking at Asih with his hands still resting on the shoulders of his own boss and chatting with Alex who was standing beside Vino.

"Can you get it down or not, your dirty hands?" Alfred was angry.

The two friends then looked at the face of their boss who was like a bull who was about to poke the red flag with a frightened expression.

Immediately Vino lowered his hand after the impolite hand was hit by his friend, Alex.

"That's your hand."

Vino chuckled. "Hehe, sorry Boss. Oh yes Lex, what do you want to order? Let's go straight, let's go!" Vino changed the subject, rather than waiting for Alfred's mouth to burst out in anger.

Alfred just wanted to scold Vino. Vino and Alex had run away from him.

"You, friends don't know how to profit." Alfred is emotional.

"Come on, let's sit down!" asked Bella with a sullen face.

"Hehe, I'm sorry honey. Come on, let's sit down."
