Beautiful Monster
So Caught

School deserted, Rajendra can freely hold his lover's hand to the parking lot. He did not even care about the stares or temptations of his friends. They begin to overdo seeing lovers who they say have never gone together hand in hand.

Ignacia turned to Rajendra for a moment, the strange thoughts in her were immediately dispelled. Rajendra looked different. He is confident in this relationship. There is no doubt or regret.

"Why do you dare to take me to school?" In the end Ignacia also asked. Rather than keep wondering.

"Schools are more deserted. I am proud to show that I already have you. I don't want any more misunderstandings. Why ask? You feel uncomfortable?"

Ignacia shook her head, she just felt strange.

Arriving on a quieter street, Rajendra raised his hand holding Ignacia then kissed her at a glance. His overly confident behavior made Ignacia round her eyes in disbelief. One could have seen both.What if a teacher saw it and got both of them in trouble?

"What are you doing?" panic Ignacia.

"I'm just glad I could walk with you."

"What if we get caught? What if someone complains? You don't scare me."

"Why afraid? A lot of people know that we are a couple. They don't have to do anything or complain like children. Just relax."

"You are here, Rajendra."

Parking is also empty. People are already at home. No one used the hall that was nearby either. And even in the room used by the pascibra organization around the parking lot there is no one. The North school was not occupied.

"It's creepy, "" muttered Ignacia while looking around. He became grateful because there was Rajendra who could accompany him until here.

"Rajendra, when you come home at night, it's getting creepy, huh? It looks dark because there's no lights around here." His gaze looked at the one walking beside him. Search for garden lights.

"Yes, it's kind of creepy. It's dark and there's no one. That's why I brought you here, Ignacia. I'm afraid something's happened to you. I'll make sure you get out of school safely."

Rajendra pulls Ignacia's hand so that her body becomes closer. "Also to be with you longer."

"Why are you being romantic like this?"

"Maybe because yesterday you didn't let me go home?"

Ah Ignacia's face began to blush. Why did yesterday have to be discussed? Ignacia was lonely yesterday. It was only natural that he wanted to be accompanied by someone he liked.

"Why are you talking about it? Your own fault for showing up and making me not want to be left alone. Then there's no need to deliver, I can do it myself." Ignacia wanted to take her hand off Rajendra, but the man did not want to let her go.

"Don't stay away from me. There's a figure suddenly holding you." Rajendra gets a punch on his arm for making Ignacia scared. The man laughed, looking at Ignacia's frightened pouting face.

Arrived already. That's an Ignacia motorcycle.

"At hand. You can go back to class. I'm going out alone." Rajendra shook his head, wanting to wait until Ignacia left school. "I'll send you a message when I get home. You can leave me now."

"No, I'll wait for you to come out. But-" Rajendra pulls Ignacia's hand again. It erodes the distance between the two. Creating a distance that can make people who see it misunderstand. Rajendra became very close.

"Now I don't want you to leave. When can we date?" Rajendra looked at her girl inside. His face was approaching.

Ignacia smiled amusedly, taking one step back but Rajendra pulled her back closer. "Why are you avoiding me? You haven't even answered," she whispered softly.

"Don't do strange things, Rajendra. We can date when you're not busy" whispered Ignacia as slowly as possible. The corner of his eye had just captured two human figures who were probably going to the parking lot as well.

"What's so weird?" Rajendra looks suspicious.

"Remember where we are, Rajendra. There are two people walking here. They saw us."

"Oh really? Then why? Let it go." Rajendra began to let go of his grasp, "go home. Call me as soon as you get home. Go straight home, don't go anywhere. Youunderstand?" Rajendra put his hand on Ignacia's head, not forgetting to give her the sweetest smile of hers.

...*****...

"That's not Rajendra?" Asked a tall man who was walking with his girlfriend to the parking lot. "Then the one in front of him was Ignacia from the Language class? I just saw the two of them so close this time, "the man added. His gaze was still fixed on the two lovers who were alone there.

"Rajendra?" Sarah sharpened her vision. Oh yeah, he saw his neighbor dating his girlfriend. The girl who made it had to go home with an online gojek that night. Rajendra could have taken her home.

"Look, they could have kissed here" whispered Sarah's lover with a small ruckus. Sarah patted her man's arm so as not to talk and create misunderstandings between people. Sarah was uncomfortable seeing both.

His second step had stopped since seeing Rajendra and Ignacia there. The goal is to make room for Rajendra and Ignacia. Sometimes they may need togetherness.

"We wait a little longer" Sarah suggested.

New Message from Bahri

Ignacia glanced at the message that appeared on her phone screen. Why did this man send a message after all this time? Does Ignacia have to open it? Ignacia's hand moved to grab the phone on the nightstand. But a call turned his attention towards the door.

"Sister," Arvin called out from behind the door, "called Brother Athira. Brother is being asked to Athira's room now."

Why didn't the kid just come here? Why did Ignacia come to his room? Even so, the eldest brother still came to Athira in his room. What made her even have to call her brother?

Door knocked. It opens slowly after obtaining permission from its owner. Athira was laying down on the carpet while observing the painting that seemed to have just finished. Evident from all the watercolors, brushes, and a glass of water that has been dirty. Our artists may be exhausted.

Ignacia sat next to Athira's various paints. Watch for a moment before asking. "So why did you call me? You seem to be busy."

"My friend whose house near the central park told me that Kak Bahri accidentally met Kak Rajendra when he visited this city. I know they talked." Athira's remarks caught Ignacia's attention, making her wait for the next story. Still with Athira who settles down casually.

"Kak Rajendra said that it's best for Kak Bahri to stay away from her brother and stop paying attention. Kak Rajendra also asked if maybe Kak Bahri had met with Kak after arriving, and what might you know if Kak Bahri came to this city as well."

Athira shifted her painting to the side, looking at her brother with a strange look.

"I don't know what might happen if Bahri doesn't lie. He said he had just come and just met his friends. He said he hasn't even told his brother that he's coming. He also said he wouldn't say anything to his sister."

Ignacia knows the story now. Rajendra accidentally meets Bahri, they talk for a while and then Rajendra comes to Ignacia to the house. What did Rajendra think of him all this time? Does Ignacia seem to be having an affair with Bahri?

"You think Rajendra's overreacting?" Ignacia was unable to look at her sister. The feeling is a bit uncomfortable.

"Yes, exaggeration. What did you do to make Rajendra so jealous? You are just friends."

"Is that all you want to say?"

"Son lost a friend because of Rajendra."

"Well, how else? I thought all men who had lovers would be possessive. Rajendra and my friends do the same thing if they are jealous. Forget it, Athira," Ignacia got up, wanting to return to her room, "after all I'm fine. I didn't do anything with Bahri."

"Sister should be more assertive. Bahri looks upset because as accused by Kak Rajendra. Brother knows for himself if Bahri does not like to be accused like that. The two would definitely fight if they were to be found again."

"Forget it. Clean things up before you go to bed, Athira."

New Message from Bahri

...Peachy...

| I haven't told you

| I met Rajendra

Ignacia exhaled a long breath reading a message from Bahri. His lover is too much. In the end Bahri remains caught by Rajendra if he is in this city. "I should have asked Bahri not to show himself if he was in town. Everything was my fault from the beginning."

...Peachy...

...*****...

Rajendra drives his bike with a feeling of pleasure towards his lover's house. I can't wait to see the girl he missed. The guarding housing security had started to remember Rajendra, greeted him kindly and opened the guard bar.

"Thank you, sir" Rajendra said before returning.

Rajendra had to pass through a residential main road before arriving at Ignacia's house. He couldn't get through the road he used to walk through because there was a car parked. It may be faster if you walk around the park. Better not make Ignacia wait any longer.

"Yes you think I'm here because I miss you guys? I came because there's important business!"

Rajendra was like hearing a familiar voice. The sound that came a few years ago. The man stopped his motorcycle on the other side of the park. The dark-skinned male figure near some of the young men there seemed familiar.

"Bahri?" Ask Rajendra to himself. The young man looked like a man who had made him very angry at what he had done to Ignacia in the past. Just remembering it sucks.

"Why does he have to come back here?" Decih Rajendra.

"Aw!" The moaning out of nowhere made Rajendra look. Not far from the parking lot was a girl who fell off her bike. Immediately Rajendra got down and helped the little boy to get up. Some people who were sitting around also helped.

Bahri's friends apparently.

Rajendra sat this little boy beside the park, away from the road. Someone helped pick up the things that this girl was carrying, pulled off her bike, and gave a drink to the younger ones. It seemed that he was really shocked to the point of not being able to move.

"You're Rajendra?" Bahri's Voice. The man reached out, the intention of making friends, "have not met for a long time. I moved out of this place in the ninth grade of Junior High," the dark-skinned man explained without being asked.

Rajendra had no intention of being friends with him. Prefer to ignore the hand that is outstretched to him. People were busy calming the fallen child earlier. No one saw these two peers hate each other for trivial things.

"Did you see Ignacia?" Rajendra asked coldly.

"No, he doesn't even know if I'm coming."

"Preferably so. Stop disrupting my relationship with Ignacia. I know you didn't mean to be friends with him. Ignacia said you already have a boyfriend, so stop bothering my girlfriend."

Bahri smiled disdainfully. Is he being accused of being a relationship wrecker?

"Do you still think I'm bad for my old friend? I've known him since childhood. I'll never ruin my friendship with her."

"Friends? You called yourself a friend after stealing my position? You keep Ignacia defending you. A man's friend is not the one who will steal his friend's lover's position."

"You're exaggerating. You better go see Ignacia and give her Thai Tea before it changes." Bahri walks away from Rajendra. Back with his friends who had taken care of the little boy's business earlier. His pride was hurt because he had just been slandered.

"Who is he?" Bahri's friend asked. His eyes glanced at Rajendra several times until he was caught off guard.

"That's Ignacia's boyfriend," honestly Bahri in an indifferent tone.

...*****...

It feels exhausting. Ignacia couldn't sleep well last night thinking about Bahri being accused by Rajendra. The feeling is not good because it interferes with the lives of others. Ignacia was lucky enough that no one knew about Bahri bringing her home. But Rajendra-

Over and over again Ignacia touched her sore nape, lightly kneaded in hopes of a speedy recovery. But yes still.

Ignacia's steps stopped when she saw two people in front of Rajendra's class. Two men who were equally known to Ignacia. A pair of male and female friends.

"Oh, yes, I went to class" said the woman, waving and walking away. Leaving her boyfriend still in front of the class. Without any response, the man stepped into the classroom. Put down the bag and sit down.

His hand reached into the pocket, took his cell phone. I saw a photo of someone.

New Message from Ignacia🍓

Send photo's

There was a feeling of surprise from the man's face. But after that he seemed ordinary. Ignacia had always seen him chatting with women. It's just that now he sees Rajendra along with Sarah.

"Have Ignacia come?" Rajendra Gumam. He got up and tried to find an existence in the girl through the window. But what he saw in the place of his favorite girl was only a bag left alone.

There was an impulse in Rajendra's heart to find where Ignacia had gone. In class, the girl was not there. Moving to a new park, maybe Ignacia was there to see the little cats. And it's true. He was there. Squatting while stroking the sweet cats.
