Beautiful Monster
I'll make sure

"You can go now" Athira whispered to Rafka and Arvin.

After the two left, Athira stepped inside with a plate of food in her hand. He offered it to his sister with a pleading look. "For now you have to eat dinner. Whatever the reason is."

"I shouldn't have shown myself when Rajendra's friends came. Or Rajendra should not forget his promise to give the task to his group friends. I shouldn't even agree to a study with him!"

"I didn't even have a learning spirit that day. All I did was sleep because I didn't sleep well last night and was bored because Rajendra was only taking care of his duties while I didn't want to do anything!"

Now the older look looked scary. Eyes that explained that he was really upset.

Ignacia doesn't care about anything. All he wanted to do was explode until the time bomb inside him stopped. Even the fall was like scolding Athira for no apparent reason. But Arthira is confident that he will help if he continues to be here and make his brother relieved.

"People will continue to bother me after this. They will over-act. People will notice us," her tone slowly declined, "i hate this scene."

Ignacia turned to stare at the floor below, "i hate the scene where people start getting into my relationship and eventually they'll also know if my relationship isn't okay."

Athira squinted her eyes, her forehead wrinkled. "What does sister mean? Brother and sister Rajendra is not okay? Wh why? You guys got into a fight or something?"

His brother nodded weakly. "This situation reminds me of my ex, Athira. It's been a long time. But I still don't like it." Ignacia smiled slightly at the corner of her lips. To belittle himself who was so stupid and naive in the past.

"When people found out about my relationship with my ex, the atmosphere became uncomfortable. And after more people found out, .. I broke up with him. So if this relationship doesn't work either, it's like repeating the past."

"How can you compare Kak Rajendra who has been with his brother for years with his useless ex? They are both very different!" Why is Athira angry now?

"I don't consider Rajendra the same as b*j*ng*n it is. It's just that I'm being sensitive. I'm afraid I'm gonna ruin my relationship with Rajendra."

Still with her hand carrying a plate of food, Athira sat down next to her brother. It felt like she was already affected by her brother's bad emotions.

"Sister," called Athira softly, "the elder brother was only worried because people started to notice. Rajendra's brother won't leave just because he's been sensitive for a few days. Rajendra has loved her brother for the past four years. Where could have just gone."

"Some of those days weren't during the years you spent together. You're about to reach the age of a five-year relationship, right? Just relax."

"You've said it, Athira."

"Now you eat and calm yourself. I'm going back to the kitchen to wash the dishes. When you're done, just put the plate in front of the door. I'll get it later."

...*****...

Rajendra picks up his girlfriend in front of the house without Ignacia's knowledge. When he got the phone, Rajendra was there waiting for him. With a warm smile, the man greeted. It seems to indicate that today will be as bright as the morning sun.

On the way, Ignacia just wants to shut up and hug Rajendra from behind. Days to weekends are not fun times with the interference of some friends at school.

"Ignacia," her lover called. The one who was called just stared without answering. They're still in the parking lot. Ignacia just took off her helmet. "Why are you pouting? Are you still tired? We're dating now."

The little smiling girl. Rajendra seemed to be trying not to get upset. Hands to Rajendra. Code to be held. The code was captured well. Rajendra immediately received the helping hand and brought the girl into the mall.

"Today may not be so bad," inner Ignacia.

The film will still start later. Now just take a walk while eating a snack. After watching lunch, I will. Even though they have breakfast, both feel hungry if they see the snacks in the mall. Yeah how else? It smells good and strong.

Rajendra did not relinquish his hold on Ignacia from the first moment he entered. He said to channel the positive energy so Ignacia wouldn't be upset anymore. All in all to let go of the longing after the incident at his house as well. Ignacia gets a little upset with Rajendra's friends who come to disturb the two while eating the ice cream.

"Rajendra, I want ice cream."

"Well, we'll get ice cream."

"Rajendra, there's cotton candy."

"Okey we go there."

"Rajendra, potato tornado."

"Yes yeah, we bought that too."

...*****...

"No Ignacia feels bad. What did you do to him? Brother hurt Ignacia?" Athira folded her hands in front of her chest. Her sharp gaze was aimed at the man she thought had made her brother sad.

"Friends knew if we were dating at my house that day. People teased him when we met. At first the people in my class were just teasing me. But then Ignacia was also disturbed. He's not comfortable." Rajendra spoke casually. Adding to Athira's suspicions.

"How can Rajendra's friends come?"

Rajendra's facial water changed, "i forgot if they came."

"So it's Rajendra's fault, right? How could you forget that your friends are coming? Ignacia's sister doesn't like it very much if anyone teases her." Athira grabbed the mochi cake that was on the table. Eat it slowly while staring at the prospective sister-in-law.

"I was too happy with Ignacia's arrival to forget that my friends were coming. Do you know how happy I am every time I meet Ignacia? I was so nervous about making lunch for her too."

In front of him, Athira was still staring intently.

"Then how will my sister make my brother return to normal? Big brother knows how his ex behaved in the past right? Brother certainly knows why Ignacia really wants everyone to not know. Don't let me know if my brother's sick because he's bad again."

Her speech might be too harsh for the kind man her brother liked. But he was also too fed up with the affairs of love that made his beloved sister experience many unpleasant things.

"I'll make sure to make her feel better. I asked her out this weekend. I'll make sure your brother won't remember his ex again." Rajendra made up his mind. His hands clenched and his gaze looked serious.

"Sir Ignacia vented her frustration by reading a book," Athira responded quickly, "sister wouldn't have done this if he wasn't really upset and wanted to throw out all the negative thoughts that were there."

The older one rises and dies Athira herself at the crowded cafe table. Let him finish the mochi he ordered. After all Rajendra's goal came just to give an explanation. Not waiting for him to finish eating.

...*****...

Rajendra had to let go of her lover's hand for a while while going into the cinema. His hands were full of drinks and popcorn. Ignacia held her lover's arm in exchange for a hand. The important thing is not to separate when in the crowd.

"Because I like you. There are a lot of people here. What if someone took you from me?"

"You're just bragging," Ignacia replied, leaning back on the cinema chair, "just enjoy the movie. You brought me here."

"My main goal is to be able to enjoy some time with you. Even though I'm not really focused on the movie, the important thing is that I'm still with you. I'll make sure you don't get upset again after the movie's over."

Hah, it's just getting weird this guy next to Ignacia. If anyone else had heard his words earlier, there might have been someone staring at Rajendra strangely. That was also what Ignacia would do, but now she felt a little lazy.

...*****...

"Well, I really liked the movie. Thank you for taking me." Ignacia smiled broadly.

Watching a movie with her favorite genre is something she needs, perhaps. His body felt more relaxed and there was no more irritation. Enjoying time with someone you like may also make your mood better.

"Thank you back. Now let's have lunch. What do you want for food?"

"We'll take a look around first."

There is plenty of food on the bottom floor of the cinema. Ignacia and Rajendra were a bit surprised once they arrived. It was full of food there. They avoided lunch because they knew the floor would be full. Waiting for a chair on this floor will take a long time.

"We're just going around downstairs" Rajendra suggested. Inevitably, Ignacia came along. Food is not just on this floor. Hopefully other places aren't as crowded here.

Ignacia again joined hands with Rajendra. To make sure not to part because their focus is on places to eat that look good. A new restaurant opened. Ignacia was confused as to which one to choose because everything looked good.

"Rajendra, I want soupy food."

"Then we go there."

They both went to a restaurant. The smell of the sauce was very fragrant and delicious as soon as it opened the door. The place that is not so crowded makes both of them can breathe a sigh of relief. They finally had lunch.

Rajendra asks Ignacia to find a table while he orders food. After receiving her lover's order, Rajendra immediately stepped towards the cashier. But still have to queue for a while before the order is delivered.

There was a place on the side of the room that caught Ignacia's attention. The seats are couches facing each other. In front and behind him there were no people, so choosing the one in the middle was not something bad. At least Ignacia could be a little secluded there.

"Do I have to buy a book too, but it's here."

Ignacia looked around. The view of people passing by in front of the restaurant from the big glass there and some couples who enjoy food at the tables in the restaurant. Next his eyes caught Rajendra's figure standing while ordering.

"If seen from this side, how could I be mad at me like that day? It's not your fault you're forgetting your friends who are coming. It was unintentional" whispered Ignacia memonolog.

"Sorry to be rude to you."

From a distance, Rajendra noticed the gaze for him. He raised an eyebrow like he was asking 'is there anything you need? You want another message?'. Ignacia shook her head then turned her eyes.

"What's up?" Rajendra asked when he arrived. Sitting in front of Ignacia, his hands were folded in front of his chest and pressed against the table. "Is there anything you need? You want another message?" The same question as the meaning of his gaze earlier.

"No, I'm just bored."

"You want to go somewhere after this?"

"What are you really doing, Rajendra?" Ignacia did the same, leaning her closer to Rajendra. "You've been following what I said, giving me what I wanted. Did something happen? Apart from my annoyance at those people?"

"Because I'm your lover? Isn't it natural for men to do this for their women?"

"But it feels different. You don't always have to do what I want. Like I'm the only one taking over here. What the hell are you doing? There must be something. Is there any other reason you're being so nice to me?"

Rajendra leaned on Ignacia, staring at her favorite eyes. "Yes, there's something. I like you so much that I can't refuse what you want. Never mind, don't be so serious. We're here to have fun. We can do anything."

"Don't joke, Rajendra."

"Why are you being so serious, hm?"

"Because you look different."

"Do I look more handsome?"

"Yes that's for sure. But I feel like there's something different about you. You're not like Rajendra I know." Ignacia's words seemed serious. That's not what Rajendra wants.

"Ignacia, isn't this what you want? Do you need at least one day to forget all your bad emotions and thoughts over the past week? I want to help you. I heard from Athira if you read a lot of books as if venting resentment."

Rajendra accidentally showed his card. Ignacia smiled slightly, apparently there was a reason behind it.

"Oh Rajendra."

Hearing that, the pair of lovers who were still waiting for his order just turned their heads. Got Rajendra's friends who came to the house at this restaurant. Well it looks like they got caught red-handed again.

"This is your first time dating, right?" Either question Rajendra and Ignacia or convince himself of what Rajendra's male friend saw.

"Why are you here?" Rajendra asked with a forced smile.

"It's a public place. It just so happened that we met while walking around and we found you two here." The woman who answered.

Ignacia's sick of it. They would definitely ruin his day once again with news that would then spread. "I'm going to go to the toilet for a while" Ignacia told Rajendra coldly before getting up.

"Ignacia, forgive us," one of the women restrained Ignacia's arm from leaving, "we will not bother you today. Sorry for making you uncomfortable."

Immediately Ignacia removed the hand from her arm, directly stepping away towards the toilet. And the woman who apologized to him is now looking at Rajendra for help. He unintentionally pissed Ignacia off.

"I'll take care of it" Rajendra said.
