Love In The Midst of Hostility
Chapter 20 - The First Boyfriend

...༻⊚༺...

A beautiful morning welcomed. The first Monday after the holidays finally arrived. A man with a resplendent smile stood tall. He is waiting for the girl who is now ready to be his lover.

That guy is none other than Ari. She is tall, pure white, and has the same stylish hair as actor Jefri Nichol. He was a popular guy at school. Even so, its existence still could not defeat the charm of Zafran.

A long-awaited car has arrived. The white car stopped slowly. Lika's figure immediately came out. The girl threw a smile at Ari.

"Have you had breakfast?" ask Ari. Welcoming the arrival of Lika.

"Udah," Lika replied briefly. Honestly, he doesn't know what to do. Considering she's never been in a relationship.

"Thank you." Ari smiled and continued, "do you know? Last night I couldn't sleep because you kept thinking." Slowly she linked her hands to Lika's fingers.

The closeness of Lika and Ari certainly attracts everyone's attention. Their eyes were fixed towards the hand of Lika who looked resignedly held by Ari. This makes most people speculate that Lika and Ari are dating.

"Till the whole thing, brother?" Lika raised her two eyebrows together.

"Sister? Oh my goodness, Lik. I told you, from now on you can call me affection," said Ari who suddenly stopped his steps.

"Sorry before, brother. I'm still not used to this. I've never dated before." said Lika while breathing heavily. He and Ari walked together.

"Not wrong? A girl as beautiful as you never dated? So automatically, I'm the luckiest guy in the world?" reply Ari enthusiastic.

"Lucky?" lika's forehead frowned.

"Yes! I'm your first girlfriend, right?" ari said.

Lika chuckled at Ari's statement. He stopped when he got to the front of the class. Then take off her hand from Ari.

"Yes, Ari is my first boyfriend. We meet in the cafeteria when we rest later, yes" said Lika. He immediately entered the class.

Ari remained silent in place. He's happy he's not a bitch. It was seen from his smile that did not fade. Ari held onto her chest. He smelled the palms that had been touched by Lika.

"Gue won't wash his hands first" murmured Ari. He immediately went to class.

At the same time, Zafran had just entered the classroom. His attenuation was directly aimed towards Galih and the comrades. The three friends seemed to be discussing seriously.

"Zaf, here! Just came you," cried Ervan. He was the first to notice Zafran's presence.

"Eh, there's a rumor pangling today!" Galih approaching Zafran. Invite the guy to join in for a chat.

"What the hell?" ask Zafran.

"So morning Lika Sama Ari held hands in public. I think they're dating" Hendra told me.

Hearing that, Zafran's pupils dilated. He felt something in his heart. Something that must have made him feel bad. Even so, Zafran tried hard to cover what he felt now.

"Gue doesn't care" responded Zafran ketus. He immediately sat down to his chair.

"But it's a miracle know? We all know how serious Lika is about education? So many guys have been rejected by him." Galih seems still interested in talking about Lika.

"Maybe Lika feels sorry for Ari. I'm sure that's it." Ervan responded.

Brak!

Zafran hit the table with two hands. He stood up straight. "Can you stop talking about that girl?!" his screeches.

"Selow dong, Zaf. You seem jealous knowing?" cetus Galih. Causing Zafran's eyes to bulge immediately.

"As much as you. I'm mending away, instead of having to hear you guys talkin' that girl on." Zafran left the class. He decided to join another class of students in the field. There Zafran took part in playing basketball in the morning. Just before the class bell rings.

Meanwhile, Lika was busy chatting with Chika and Nadia. Talked a lot about love and dating.

"Finally, your heart is open also to receive love Ari. I'm glad to hear you know." Chika responds positively to Lika's decision.

"But why all of a sudden? Do you really like Ari too?" unlike Chika, Nadia actually doubted Lika's actions.

"Te-of course. Where might I accept him if I don't like it," denied Lika stammered. He must be lying. Given the reception he gave Ari just as an escape.

"Certainly? What reason?" Nadia demanded an answer.

"Gue doesn't know why, my heart always beats when the guy is around. Moreover, the fitting of his face approached with a deadly gaze." Unknowingly Lika imagined Zafran. Remembering some moments that managed to get her carried away. But it did not last long, when Chika suddenly clasped the table with one hand.

"Udah confirmed! You're in love with Ari!" cetus Chika's.

"Yes, Ari's struggle is not in vain" commented Nadia. He was happy to hear Lika's words.

"But the problem is, I don't know what to do? I've never dated," said Lika while grunting rudely.

"But! Don't worry about that. I'm sure Nadia will help." Chika looked enthusiastic. He and Nadia immediately told him the tips Lika should know.

After three hours of study, the break sign bell rang. All students immediately rushed out of the class. Most of them went to the cafeteria. Including Lika and her two friends.

Lika and friends occupy one of the empty dining tables. They both circulate views only to find Ari's figure. Nihil, the existence of the man is not visible everywhere.

"Cowok you don't exist, Lik?" asked Nadia who was still wailing.

"Maybe he's still in class time" said Lika. He actually doesn't care if Ari wants to come or not.

Unexpectedly, a hand appeared while holding a book. Lika's eyes immediately rounded, when she found out the owner of the hand was Ari.

"This for you. I know you like to read John Green's novels," Ari said, offering Lika a book.

"Yes, I like it! It's his latest work." Lika was pleased. He accepted Ari's gift.

"Thank you!" lika.

"Reply use thanks doang?" ari Response. He did not stop looking at Lika.

"What do you want?"

"You have to accompany me to watch tonight," said Ari who was immediately approved by Lika. Again, their closeness attracted the attention of many pairs of eyes.

Among the many men who are heartbroken, there is one that most shows facial expressions do not like. Zafran. Her feelings grew even more agitated when she saw the familiarity of Lika and Ari.
