Anna, Hug Me

🌷🌷🌷
The atmosphere of twilight with a gentle breeze seemed beautiful accompanying a girl who was seriously doing her job. He was sitting in a library that was crowded. But apparently the girl is too focused on her task so that she does not care about students who then borrow books or just surf in cyberspace. WiFi in the library is one of the fastest in the entire Maxwell University, where the girl studied.
The short-haired girl opened up the books scattered beside her looking for references. Sometimes he looked at the circular watch in his left hand, as if he did not want to forget time.
Shortly thereafter, the girl is seen to have completed her task. The girl tidied up the book in a hurry, stuffed the laptop into the backpack then exited the library. Apparently the girl hastily worked part-time at a convenience store near campus. The shift will start in a moment. He has calculated the time, just walk fast a few minutes and he will arrive on time.
"Tiinnnn..." The sound of the car horn made him startled until the girl was slightly fixated on stopping her steps. The girl turned her head towards the source of the sound coming from the silver color car that stopped beside the road.
A long curly haired girl smiling sweetly greeted him, Catherine. Friends of the class are just different majors. They knew him when the campus was first ospek.
"Come on Ann, I'll take you, '" Cathy shouted from the car.
Anna smilingly got into the car.
"Thank you Cathy, I'm kind of in a hurry to finish my college assignment today. I've calculated the time, but it's still mepet," Anna said at length. He likes to be friends with Chaterine Dunyan, because his friend made him able to tell long stories.
"It's not best to buy a bike" Cathy advises
"You know for yourself I can't ride a bike" replied Anna, the short-haired girl was a little frustrated, feeling very late for people her age to learn to ride a bike.
"Yes learn, I'll teach you tomorrow."
"Tomorrow I am busy, maybe next time" replied Anna resignedly.
"You can get sick knowing that work continues."
Anna looked at her best friend with a smile. Catherine was the only friend she had. Because Anna doesn't have enough time to get acquainted with girls on campus, she is also a conservative type who has difficulty befriending modern-oriented popular girls in her class. And his day was too busy with studying and working. There is no time for things that he thinks are less important.
"Why see me that?" ask Cathy.
"You are understanding Cathy."
Cathy just laughed as she stopped her vehicle.
"It's arrived."
"Trims yes." said Anna as she opened the car door.
"Okay, oia don't forget the holidays to come on my birthday. Look out if it does not come because of the night shift," Cathy reminded.
Anna nodded. He waved his hand and waited for a while until Cathy's car passed
Anna has to change shifts to go to Cathy's birthday on May 01. This is the third time she has appeared on Cathy's birthday. It is undeniable to feel inferior when first gathered with all the children of the rich. But Cathy is proud to introduce him to her parents, to her brother as well. Cathy's family welcomed Anna well, so there was no reason for her to miss this birthday moment.
🌷🌷🌷
Anna walks back to her dorm. It's late at night. He picked up the food he bought across the street.
Anna had not had time to eat dinner, usually he ate it in a place not to wrap it, but the day he was too tired so prefer to wrap it and take it home to the dorm.
It's just that tonight Anna has to confront Irene, her roommate. Anna only came home after 11 pm because before 11 rooms it was a place to make out for her roommate, Irene and her lover. But this time he didn't care. His body was very tired if he had to wait until 11.
"Tok..." Anna knocked on the door of her room. But there's no response. Anna knocked again, this time from a slow knock to a fast rhythm.
Irene's irritated face appeared to open the door, her hair was disheveled and her neck was full of sweat. But as soon as he saw that knocking on the door was Anna, he frowned slightly, perhaps not getting angry when he saw that the one who knocked on the door was his roommate.
"Em... for a moment" he said, closing the door.
Before long a tall boy opens the door and exits after sharing a hot kiss in front of Anna. Anna cleared her throat uncomfortably and entered the room.
Room's pretty messy with a scent that I don't know, gives him a headache. In the window to replace the fresher air. Anna opened her lunch box and ate the fried chicken flour she bought earlier. He pretended not to care about Irene.
"Tumben is home" Irene murmured with an annoyed face.
Anna glanced at him for a moment and saw that the roommate was tying up her long blonde hair.
"I'm not feeling well anymore. Oia, 11pm. Yes, I want at 11pm the room is clean from men" Anna said, chewing her food. He said it without looking at Irene. Fortunately his bed was near the window so he could see the sky and hills behind their dorm building.
The window also rescues Anna from the smells that came out of nowhere to make her sick. The smell of sweat mixed with something special. I want him to spit out his food. But the affection of buying it made it last. He was also hungry.
"I only need 11 to 6 a.m. I could be sick if I couldn't get an early break. Please .." continued Anna because Irene was just silent.
"Well! Try dating let you know it doesn't feel like a hick like this," Irene said as she rolled her eyeballs, changed her clothes and walked out slamming the door a little hard.
Anna looks sad. He actually did not want to argue because he did not want bad rumors circulating that if he never dated and never slept with men. It's also very conservative. But Irene was pretty outrageous, she always brought men to fuck every night.
Her night shift ended at 10:30, Anna usually had dinner and waited until Irene's guests came home. But he couldn't take it anymore, 30 minutes was enough for him to rest his tired back all day. At 6 he had to open a shop, during college and his night had to work again.
Although college with scholarships but the cost of living is also very high. Next year Anna has graduated and has to get out of the dorm. Hence he had to think of raising money to find a temporary place to stay before getting a full job.
Probably still upset Irene didn't come back all night, until Anna went to work the next day.
🌷🌷🌷
The next day rumors spread that Anna was a virgin. This must happen every year. The virgin is like a derision to name the hick. Anna doesn't really care and as much as possible avoids meeting popular girl gangs or she will end up being bullied. It was fortunate that Anna was not a popular girl, so no students knew her. Circulating rumors he is not a jaim child, who should care about rumors.
Thank goodness Cathy's rumor was never big. As a friend of a Cathy there are not many college students who want to deal with her because it must be dealing with Cathy. Cathy's charisma and her family's background keep Anna covered by her shadows and that's good for her. It is perfect camouflage.
🌷🌷🌷
Anna looked at the bustling student traffic in front of her campus dormitory. Sunday nights are always more crowded than the usual nights. Many students go out with their lovers. Anna also dressed up pretty but not waiting for a lover's invitation.
Anna waits for the driver who will pick her up to Cathy's birthday party. Anna looked at the clock on her phone screen. He smiled when he saw the screen of his phone. Photos of his late father adorn the background of his old cell phone. Not much memory is stored about his father. The only cell phone he uses is his father's cell phone. The last thing that reminded him of his father.
Still vividly remembered in his memory when his father never picked him up from school. It turns out that his father died in an accident. Because her biological mother had remarried and no contact made Anna have to be in the Orphanage and live a hard childhood. Now he is determined to study hard to change his fate and make his father proud.
"Tin tin..."
The sound of the horn disperse Anna's daydream. He also rushed into the car. There is anxiety when it comes to being at Catherine's family party because of course Anna will be faced with many people from the elite. He always felt inferior and unsuitable to be there, but his affection and close friendship with Chaty made him ignore his discomfort.
Anna remembered herself as a whole tonight. Her short black dress looks cute, a dress that is also a gift from Cathy. The beautiful shoes she wore tonight were also from Cathy, a gift when Cathy went on holiday abroad, when Cathy bought a couple, a pair with her.
While her face is the work of Irene, the girl kindly dressed her with a thin, flawless makeup. The hairpin is the only thing left of his mother used as a sweetener for his short hair. He feels that he looks quite good, he said many times and tried to calm himself.
And don't forget the gift for his friend. It took Anna hours of searching on online shopping sites looking for the item. Not expensive, but quite representative of their friendship.
🌷🌷🌷
The atmosphere was already crowded when Anna arrived. He looked panicked because the garden party area was very large. It is actually quite easy to find Cathy because she will definitely be in the center of the crowd. But Anna needs to see him first before the show starts.
Busy watching Anna unaware that there was someone behind her. And when Anna turned around...
Splashes
A glass of wine spilled onto her dress. Anna's panicking. He then bowed apologetically. It was fortunate that the wine only hit him not the tall man in front of him. It is very risky to have to deal with the rich here. Their clothes can be worth a year's rent.
The man offered his suit because Anna's dress was wet. But Anna rejected it subtly. He wants to leave immediately, he does not want to linger dealing with foreigners.
"Anna.." call someone.
Anna recognized his voice. Thomas Dunyan, Cathy's older brother.
Anna turned her head towards the sound and confirmed the source. Thomas waved at him.
"What's wrong?" ask Thomas to Anna.
Anna shakes.
Thomas looked back at the man beside Anna. Thomas recognized him as his papa business colleague. Mr. Theo Natanael Maxwell's. Maxwell Company CEO. Companies engaged in Real Estate.
Thomas looked at Theo for an explanation.
"I accidentally spilled wine on her dress. I'm sorry miss.." Theo explained. He put on a guilty face while looking at Anna who was not looking at him at all. His face looked earnest when apologizing.
Thomas also realized there was no way Theo's classmates would do such a childish thing. And Thomas also knows Anna is not the kind of person who gets into trouble easily. It must have been a misunderstanding.
The man offered her a suit to wear because it was certain that the night air in a wet dress could make her sick.
Anna looked at the man while shaking her head. Looked at a guy in his mid-30s who looks handsome and charismatic. Her dress suit also looks expensive by famous designers who are specially sewn for her. Anna did not want to deal with such a man.
Thomas then took Anna to see his sister. Surely her sister has a dress that Anna can wear tonight.
They left the man standing there. There was a strange feeling surrounding Theo's handsome face seeing the girl reject his offer. Is the charm diminished? thought. He wears his black coat again. He has not met the host to congratulate him.
