Love In The Midst of Hostility
Chapter 19 - Almost Only

...༻⊚༺...

Lika stood up straight. The same thing Zafran did. But the guy quickly gripped Lika's arm.

"What did that slap mean, huh?!" zafran hatch. Put on a sharp look.

"Lo is insolent to know! How dare you kiss me like your dirty lips!" sulk Lika. Actually, his feelings were mixed with nervousness. Zafran's chewy and warm lips can still be felt through memory.

"Kiss? Do you consider it a kiss?! Aren't you an exact expert, huh? You don't know how to get first aid?!" Zafran is determined not to release Lika. He did not accept the slap he had just received.

"But stay! At least tell someone else to do me a nolongin!"

"Other people? If I'm late for you, you might be dead by now!" the Lika and Zafran debate begins.

"I don't think that's a kiss at all! You want to know what a true kiss is?!" connect Zafran.

"Lo's crazy!" Lika tries to take off Zafran's grip. But it can't. The guy just strengthened his grip. Then pull Lika closer. The distance between the two faces is only a few inches.

Now Lika's irritated feeling was swallowed by the nervousness. His heart was beating hard. Very difficult to control. Surprisingly, he liked the sensation of the beating.

Lika seems hypnotized. He was angry and no longer rebelled.

The same thing is felt by Zafran. He was angry. But after bringing Lika closer to the front, the feeling instantly disappeared. He and Lika exchanged a glance for a moment. Time seems to stop.

Without thinking for long, Zafran tilted his face. Intended to kiss Lika's lips.

While Lika herself, she reflexively closed her eyes. Somehow she wished Zafran had really kissed her.

The deg!

The deg!

The deg!

Lika and Zafran's heart was beating very fast. It's the same beat, but it's in a different place.

"They! Zafran!" Suddenly a voice came from Fatih.

Zafran and Lika keep their distance. Zafran even hurriedly took off Lika's hand. The two almost kissed each other.

Zafran rushed off first. In contrast to Lika, who looked sculpted and was still in shock. His heart was completely overwhelmed when facing that unexpected moment earlier.

"You guys take a shower together?" ask Fatih who realized Lika and Zafran's clothes were wet. It just so happened that he asked Zafran who wanted to walk past him.

"No! Lika almost drowned. Take care of him!" said Zafran with a flat face. He stepped forward without looking back.

"Crazy! Why are you staying with him?" timpal Fatih hurried over to Lika. Make sure the girl is okay.

Fatih led Lika to walk. The girl put on a blank look while hugging her own body. He immediately brought Fatih to join the others.

"Lika said it almost drowned, sir." Fatih gave what happened to the teachers.

"What's? That right? How could that be? You can't swim, Lik?" ask Mr. Surya who is worried.

Lika just keep quiet. He did not answer the teacher's questions.

"Sir, how is it? Are we going home? Lika seems to have been unable to continue the activities today," said Mrs Ratih. She thought Lika was going through a deep trauma.

In reality, Lika was drowning thinking about her feelings for Zafran. There was something stirring from the bottom of his heart. She was afraid that what she felt was falling in love. Moreover, Lika always enjoys her closeness when with Zafran.

Lika felt very shocked if what she felt was love. If that happens, he will automatically betray the Baskara family. Especially Selia, an aunt who was always loyal and treated him like a biological child.

Lika's thoughts about her feelings faded, when the voice of the chatter of the people around her interfered. He just realized that Mr. Surya intends to go back to the hotel because of him.

"I'm fine, sir. Don't cancel our streets because of me. I was just confused," explained Lika as she stood up. He developed a smile in order to convince everyone.

"You sure?" ask Fatih.

"Sorry to worry you. I'm doing fine. Really!" Lika is widening her smile. Forms the letter v with his finger. As a result, Mr. Surya decided to continue the journey.

On the other hand, Zafran was inside one of the toilet cubicles. He stood leaning in front of the door. Just like Lika, she felt that there was something strange about her heart.

'Why do I really want to kiss him?' zafran wondered. His hand touched his own lips. Imagine how her mouth touched Lika's lips.

Zafran's heartbeats are back. He was never like that even when he was with Ramanda.

'Why did the incident keep thinking? Obviously Lika slapped my face?' Zafran tried to think with logic. He is not worthy of being carried away by feelings just because he gives artificial breath.

"ah! It's nothing. Most importantly I managed to make Lika squeak," murmured Zafran confidently. He threw away all the suspicious feelings he felt.

...***...

The journey to Bali is over. Now Lika and friends are on their way home. They're on the plane.

Since the sinking incident yesterday, Lika continues to try to avoid Zafran. Even looking at that guy he didn't want to.

The same thing Zafran did. He and Lika had never been that calm before. Both acted as if nothing had happened. But in reality, it all kept clad in their minds.

Upon arriving at home, Lika went straight into the room. Then throw his body into the bed.

Lika again imagined the handsome face of Zafran who was so gentle as she approached him. I was frustrated myself. He immediately opened the internet, and tried to find facts about the strange feelings he felt.

After reading a lot of articles, Lika is getting more anxious. Because what he feels always leads to falling in love. All the symptoms and characteristics were exactly as Lika felt.

"No way! I can't possibly fall in love with her. Even if this happens, I have to do something!" Lika shook her head repeatedly. Strictly denied everything he felt.

Lika tried to think. He stared at the ceiling roof with a serious face. His phone suddenly shook. A message from Ari received by Lika. The guy never misses sending him messages. Even when Lika never returned it.

It comes to Lika's mind to accept Ari's love. He thought it could make him dispel his strange feelings towards Zafran.

Without further ado, Lika replied to Ari's message. That continued as Ari happily responded to his message. As a result of being too happy, the guy immediately called Lika.

"Lik, it's you, right?" Ari seemed to not believe that the person who replied to her message was Lika.

"Yes, Brother! It's me" Lika replied.

"Why so suddenly? What's you-"

"I'll accept you to be my girlfriend!" exclaim Lika. Deliberately cutting Ari's speech.
