The Price of Sainthood
Losing their self

"l. Its me. Calm yourself." Someone whispered in Alisha's ear as the girl tried to thrash. Alisha, who was almost desperate, now spontaneously froze with enlarged pupils. In silence he tried to digest the situation.

Dante's? Could this be Dante?

Without waiting for long, he who was still in the arms of that person tried to look back to see who was talking to him. Instantly he felt a breath of fresh air when the one who silenced his mouth was the one he expected.

"Dante?" call him in disbelief.

Dante who only responded to Alisha's reaction with a smile was taken aback as Alisha hugged her. Very tight, as if not wanting to take it off. Even the girl's cry broke in her chest while mentioning her name with the sedu sedan.

Although confused by the cause, Dante does not necessarily urge Alisha to say. He chooses to let Alisha make it a place to lean.

He could feel an aura of fear from his girl's face, from her heartbreaking cries. Moreover, he found the girl here only alone, even wearing only home clothes.

Without intending to seize the opportunity, Dante's right hand gently rubbed Alisha's hair, while his left hand patted the girl's shoulder affectionately to calm down. For whatever reason, he would have been hurt more if Alisha had been hurt. He was sicker when Alisha was in pain. However, he can't do much because Alisha wants to.

"I'm sorry, because I've been crying not clearly in your arms" Alisha said after breaking her arms. Now he feels a little calmer. He apologized for worrying that Dante was uncomfortable. He does not want to be a hypocrite. Dante's presence is like an oasis in the desert. Dante was like a hero who came at the right time.

"No pa-pa. No problem." Dante shook his head. Without hesitation he rubbed Alisha's face full of tenderness. The girl's cry had subsided, there was only a slight sobbing and gasping breath. "You got a problem?" ask her then very carefully.

Alisha looked at Dante fixedly, then then shook her head slowly. "Nothing is."

Dante was not disappointed even though Alisha tried to cover it up. Instead, he looked around and asked carefully. "Who are you here?"

Again Alisha did not want to open and just shook her head.

"Want me to drive you home?" bargain Dante again carefully. Out of her expectations, this time Alisha instantly nodded steadily.

"OKAY. Yuk, go. My car is there." Dante pointed to the right, while Alisha directly followed Dante's index.

Apparently Dante put his car some distance away from where they're standing right now. Both still need to walk a few minutes to get there.

Suddenly Alisha was unsure. What if they meet Lara? He was not afraid that Lara would attack him now. Alisha believes that as long as she is with Dante everything will be fine. But what if Lara misunderstands? Thinking if he was the one who deliberately called Dante. Then then Lara will demand a reply later in the day after she is off guard.

Gosh darn. Why is Lara now such a frightening specter for Alisha? Lara's angry face is far more terrifying than the ugly ghosts in the horror movies she's seen.

"Al, how quiet? So not going home?"

Dante asked in surprise because Alisha just stared far away. The girl looked at him with a face like a wail.

"Hey, that's it. Why?"

Instead of answering, Alisha seemed to be crying.

"You tired? Gonna carry?" guess Dante without any intention of teasing her, and for the umpteenth time Alisha just looked down while shaking her head.

Dante sighed softly looking at the girl in front of him. Although Alisha's face is plain without makeup, but the girl still looks charming. Her hair that was left to be broken was dancing freely in the night wind. Alisha rubbed her own arm without a cloth. The girl was only wearing a silk pajama suit with a short-sleeved top.

Dante hastily takes off his jacket and puts it on Alisha for believing the girl is cold.

"No, Dante. You'll be cold."

"Me or you who's cold, Al?" Dante asked as if he was dubious. She smiled, Alisha was embarrassed. "Tuh, you're shivering so. And me, ordinary. I'm immune to cold times, Alisha."

"Thank you, Dan." That was all Alisha could say.

"Yuk, I'll drive you home. If you're with me you'll be safe."

Alisha can only resign when Dante takes her hand. The young man really made her feel safe and comfortable. For some reason, Dante's words just now sounded like understanding if he was being frightened. But he hasn't said anything. Is it because of her crying?

"And how are you here?" Alisha asked after a moment of silence. They kept walking towards Dante's car while holding hands in the crowd.

"I'm hanging out with my friends at the cafe, Alisha. Keep fitting I want to buy in the store there accidentally I see you. I keep approaching. I thought you were playing hide-and-seek, you know."

If you knew I'd be bumping from your future fiancee, Dan, Alisha's mind is weak.

"Tuh, temen me again on hanging out inside. This car's parking, too." Dante pointed at the direction in the cafe, then pointed at a row of luxury sports cars, one of which Alisha had a real poultice it was his car. Apparently Dante was really hanging out there with his sports car community friends. The rich man's son.

Alisha lets Dante open the door for her before boarding after Dante's hand.

"Thank you" he said kindly.

"Together," replied Dante anyway. The young man then walked around the car to sit behind the wheel. He smiled as he watched Alisha wearing a seat belt.

"You want pizza?"

"You." Alisha nodded steadily. Not willing to lie to himself and also Dante, this time he was really hungry.

Without hesitation, Dante took a piece and then gave it to Alisha. She does not want romantic support by feeding a girl who is not her lover even though she really wants to.

"Thank you." Again those were the only words that Alisha said. What else is it?

"Drink?" Dante hurriedly thrust the opened bottle of mineral water to Alisha. The girl also quickly accepted it because her throat had difficulty swallowing.

"Thank you." Without a second thought, Alisha immediately swallowed it.

Dante smiled in relief seeing Alisha much better than before. He waited patiently for Alisha who ate voraciously like starvation. Alisha doesn't even feel sorry for him. He was happy, Alisha like back to her old self.

"Dante."

Suddenly Alisha called her name softly like calling, so Dante hurriedly answered her in a friendly tone.

"Yes?"

"Are you sure you want to get engaged to Lara?" alisha asked in between her meals.

"Why do you suddenly ask that?" Dante knitted his brows in wonder. However, even so he still answered Alisha's question. "of course. Didn't you reject me? So what else can I do besides accept matchmaking, right?"

Alisha looks at Dante. The young man's tone was calmer than before. Dante even smiled sincerely as if he had sincerely accepted everything.

Ah, but why is it that he now feels heavy to release Dante for Lara. Dante is a good young man. She shouldn't have Lara.

Not himself feeling better, but Dante can get a better girl than Lara even if not him. Oh my God, thinking of this Alisha wants to cry.

"Why? Have you changed your mind?" tanya Dante then who instantly made Alisha a lot.

In order to get rid of the nervousness, Alisha hurriedly pooped and continued her food show. Just be right. Where could he be a lover of people?

"Yes son?" tanya Dante who keeps looking at Alisha. The girl turned her head, then nodded her head.

Suddenly Alisha was surprised. He realized something.

"Dante, who am I eating this pizza?" the question is plain but full of curiosity.

"Oh that. I bought it for my mom. She said she wanted to eat pizza. But since you're hungry, I'll just love you."

Instantly Alisha gawks at Dante's confession. What the fuck? He ate a pizza from Auntie Niken's order? Suddenly the pizza in his throat turned to stone. Hard, hard to swallow.

"Dante! I'm not saying this is for your mom!" Alisha growled in annoyance. Dante was laughing.

"Why would you say you're not doing it."

"Aaa .. How is dong? Later mama you're angry pizzanya I abisin."

"No, Al. Mama must be cool if she knows you're eating her pizza."

Alisha snorted annoyed. He was shaking his lips. He stared at the pizza in his lap that still left two pieces.

"Repourished, Al. Responsibility, only two pieces of doang."

Alisha's lips are getting more and more sweet because Dante's words like teasing him.

"I'm greedy, huh?" the question is not good.

"No. You're hungry again. I like to see you eat like that."

Alisha just shut up and bowed. Dante's treatment was so gentle towards her that he had hurt Dante's feelings, rejecting her several times. Dante should have been vengeful. Dante should have hated it. But what exactly happened? This really makes Alisha not willing to Dante for Lara.

"Al, you don't feel like you're changing. You who now look weak and easily oppressed. You're not like the Alisha I used to know. Alisha is strong and strong. Alisha who dared to face her problem. You are more fragile now. It's like losing yourself."

Sontak Alisha looked at Dante with an expression that was difficult to interpret. Because honestly he felt like he was slapped.

Wh why? Why are Dante's words always right? It is like losing oneself. Is this because of Lara? I don't know. What is clear is that Alisha can't do anything if it's about Dante and Lara.
