Ghost Love Story's
CHAPTER 20 ~ Boy In Painting ~

As usual, all Axel did overnight was wait for Athena to wake up while continuing to look at him. This time Axel was more impatient waiting for the girl to wake up. Because as he said last night, at the turn of time he would recoup the meaning of the word Athena said.

Axel oppa, Axel oppa, what does it mean, inner Axel.

Axel touched Athena's eyelashes, a smooth movement was seen there.

I have appeared again, I can touch you again, the time comes for my vengeance, inner Axel.

Looking at the face of Athena who was still sleeping right in front of her. Axel gently blew on Athena's face to wake her up. The girl's eyelids moved, slowly opening her eyes.

Seeing Axel right in front of her, Athena quickly closed her eyes again.

"Don't pretend to be asleep, I know you're awake" Axel said.

Athena finally opened her eyes, immediately smiling wryly, like asking for forgiveness. Axel's face was so close, just a little over it.

"Tell me what you meant last night" Axel said.

"Which one ?" ask Athena still grinning.

"Don't pretend to forget" Axel said.

"I forgot" Athena replied clearly pretending.

"Tell me what it means or I'll kiss you" Axel whispered.

"Haaa. instead of yesterday I want to do it" said Athena.

"Replace the punishment. Now I want it, let's hurry, say what it means" Axel said again.

Athena was silent, she just smiled.

"What ? I'm curious" Axel said.

Athena remained silent, just smiling. Axel started to draw his face closer. Athena was silent.

"A little more my lips will touch your lips" whispered Axel.

Athena remained silent, her eyes just following Axel's lips closer. Axel's lips continued to approach, continuing to approach, Athena still chose silence. Axel could not stop her anymore slowly sticking his lips to Athena's soft lips. The girl smiled then began to feel a gentle pull from the man's lips.

Without realizing it, Athena wrapped her hands around the neck of the handsome ghost. Making Axel even more want to immerse his lips into the mouth cavity of the girl. Athena's breath hunted, the girl pulled Axel's body closer. Want to enjoy the man's warm kiss more deeply.

They begin to play her tongue, Axel and Athena both seek, both want to find and both want to catch her, feel her tenderness and sweetness.

Go on and on, the girl did not want to immediately release the kiss if only her breath was not wheezing. Axel retreated slowly, then looked at the face of Athena who was adjusting her breathing.

Athena cupped the handsome man's face. Suddenly Athena cried, Axel panicked.

"Why Athens ? are you sorry ? I'm sorry" Axel said of getting away.

But Athena actually strengthened the circle of her hand on Axel's neck, making Axel fall over Athena's body. Axel returned the hug and sipped between Athena's shoulders and neck.

Axel lifted Athena's body and made them both sit down. Still in a hugging position, Athena did not relax her embrace at all.

"Why are you always pushing me along with Evan ? don't you want me ?" said Athena while sobbing.

"She is your first love and will soon be realized. I don't want to bother you, I don't want you to regret one day not trying to be with him. Athena, I can wait for you, I'm willing to wait for you at any moment" Axel said.

"You promise ?" tanya Athena raised her face looking at Axel.

"Don't you like it when I promise ?" axel said as he brushed off the hair covering part of Athena's face.

Athena shook her head, her face still wet from tears.

"Not for this one, I want you to promise to wait for me" said Athena.

"All right, I promise" Axel said.

Athena was relieved, the girl leaned against Axel's chest, her hands coiled around the handsome ghost's waist.

"Where if I were really going out with him, how long would you wait for me ?" ask Athena

"For ever, I will wait for you forever, even if you marry him, have children with him, have grandchildren with him, until your hair turns white, I will still wait for you" Axel said.

"Where it might be like that, my hair is bleached you're still this handsome. How could you still want to wait for me" said Athena as she took off her embrace.

"I'm serious, in my eyes you'll stay like this" Axel said.

"Gombal, it's because you haven't seen me with white hair and a wrinkled face, just a little older, maybe you've left me" Athena said as she stood in front of the window.

Axel hugged Athena from behind and placed his chin on the girl's shoulders.

"Prove it" Axel said.

Athena smiled and turned to look at the man, Axel also turned to Athena. Their noses touched, Axel went back to chasing after the girl's lips. Athena stroked Axel's face, they kissed again, until Axel turned into a shadow. Axel looked down disappointed, Athena laughed.

That morning was a beautiful morning for Athena, everyone was rewarded by her, what was the reward ? a smile, free. Athena sat on her stool, Kimmy came first. Kimmy was astonished to see the cheerful look of Athena.

"Why loe ? just won the lottery ? very happy" said Kimmy.

"It's more than just winning the lottery" said Athena.

"What is that ? aahh... Evan shot you ?" ask Kimmy.

"No, not that" said Athena.

"What is dong ?" ask Kimmy.

"Secret" said Athena, who immediately made Kimmy upset.

Suddenly, Luna walks into the classroom and walks towards Athena. The girl sat on the empty bench beside Athena.

"Congratulations, you were chosen to be Evan's partner for our school farewell" Luna said as she extended her hand.

Athena welcomed Luna's handshake, Kimmy watchfully watching Luna's actions. The girl could not believe that Luna meant well to congratulate Athena.

"Thank you, hopefully you also get what you want" said Athena.

"You can't make small talk. You must know who I want" said Luna.

"I'm sorry, but aren't you the one who cut off your relationship with Evan ?" ask Athena.

"Yes, that's so he realizes that he can't separate from me. You could say it was a bluff for him, but it turned out to be a real breakup" said Luna.

"So, you still love her ?" athena asked, the girl's arm was directly touched by Kimmy.

"From start to finish" said Luna.

"You must be so desperate to finally break up with him ?" ask Athena.

"If he does not know you, maybe at this time still begging to turn me back" said Luna.

"I'm sorry" said Athena.

"Here you go, maybe this is my karma for having usurped the position of OSIS that should be yours" said Luna smiling slanted.

"I didn't think about it" said Athena.

"You know what ? IPA children will do anything so that the position of chairman does not fall into the hands of IPS children" said Luna with a slanted laugh.

"I really didn't know that" Athena said.

"Just like going out with an IPS child, an IPA child will not look for an IPS child's boyfriend because it will drop his degree. IPA children only date IPA children" explained Luna.

"What about Evan, being close to me means dropping his degrees ?" ask Athena.

"Hmm, but since your popularity is on the rise so it doesn't seem to matter to him. You're considered Cinderella, the ash-up that the prince suddenly likes. Cinderella, although looked down upon but many people supported her to get the prince, right ? so now Evan is enjoying his role as a prince" Luna tells the story.

Evan doesn't really like me, inner Athena.

"He was seen as a kind-hearted prince, who for the sake of love willingly lowered his degree. You know ? among the girls he is increasingly popular, IPS girls who previously did not dare to like him, now have the wish to be with him. One day you can be the next Cinderella after you" continued Luna.

Utilizing me to raise his popularity as a benevolent prince, heh... , why doesn't anyone sincerely like someone without any intention ? inner Athena.

"I'm giving you a leak, Evan is preparing a spectacular love statement for you" Luna said.

"Prepare yourself" Luna said with a smile, then stood waving at Athena out of the classroom.

"Loe believes the same nonsense ?" ask Kimmy.

"Who's mouth ? " ask Vivi who just arrived.

"That's Luna" said Kimmy.

"So he was talking to you ? what's that 'bout ?" ask Vivi.

"Evan wants to express love with Athena, after the farewell party later" said Kimmy.

"really ? wow great... will you be the same Evan ? Athena survived" Vivi said as she jumped.

Kimmy and Athena just stared intently at Vivi. Their faces are pouting.

"Why ? how on a pout the hell ?" ask Vivi.

"You don't hear our chat anyway, Evan is not sincere with Athena, he just wants to increase his popularity by playing a kind prince who wants to date with IPS children" said Kimmy.

"Geez so that's why, Athena don't think about it. Do you believe Luna's words ? he that, can not move on from Evan and hope, Evan also can not move on from him. He can't accept that Evan really likes you. Luna must be jealous if Evan can be happy with you" said Vivi.

"Truely, why do we believe what he said ?" ask Kimmy.

"Athena, if Evan is sincere or not, you should try. Do not give up before the game. People who are initially sincere can still disband, and vice versa people who are not sincere can actually fall in love because they can long feel the sincerity of their partners" explained Vivi.

"It's also Athena, if you back off now, you'll regret not trying. As Vivi said, we don't know what will happen. It could be that Evan really likes loe" said Kimmy.

Athena was confused and turned to Axel, the man just smiled blandly.

"Forward Goddess of War do not care about Luna" said Vivi clenched her hands to encourage.

"Yep, don't give up we support you Upik the ashes that turned into Cinderella" Kimmy said.

"Don't let it go" said Athena.

Athena glanced back at Axel who was standing behind Vivi. The girl took a long breath. The closer to his heart, the feeling becomes restless.

All this because of you Axel, I would not be worried about accepting Evan if I did not know you, inner Athena while biting her lips.

The bell rings, they learn. Ever since getting ranked ten general, Athena had truly studied seriously, she did not want what she had achieved to be wasted after achieving what she wanted.

Everyone would have thought he was learning just to be able to be Evan's partner. Athena didn't want people to think that way. The most important thing for him is that what he has achieved is not in vain and Axel's efforts to help him are also not free.

Jokingly Kimmy, Athena and Vivi, walked towards the school gate. They were relieved after passing the lesson today which was enough to make their hands ache.

Athena, who used to protest against her teacher, now does not dispute her teacher's orders. Ever since entering the rankings, the girl had seriously understood her lesson.

Today at the last lesson, Athena is trying to make a painting with a look that can be seen with ordinary eyes rather than with the eyes of a bath.

In the past, during the task of painting he would squint indiscriminately oil paint onto the canvas in front of him. When asked by the teacher.

"What a painting is Athena"

"Abstract Painting ?" athen replied, he himself hesitated at the answer.

"You know, your painting flow is abstract. But what painting is this ? tell me about what ?" ask the art teacher.

All the children in the painting class giggled at Athena's reply to the art teacher. They knew that Athena just carelessly splashed paint into her canvas without any meaning.

"Every painting has meaning, it has a story behind it. Although it looks disheveled, it only looks like splashes but the painter can explain what he had in mind when making a painting" explained the teacher to all students.

The students nodded as they giggled, holding their mouths with their hands to keep from making a sound.

"What can you explain from this painting ?" ask the teacher back to Athena.

"Mmmm... This is about a handsome man who lives in darkness ?" answer recklessly.

"Great Athena" said one student, laughing.

"Athena is a mystery painter, only he can understand" said one student, another immediately laughed.

Athena grimaced at the screams of her classmates. Only because the dark colors are still available in the box while the bright colors have been used up.

Athena forgot to buy a new one, so she used the existing colors for her paintings.

"Yes.. A great Athena could see there was a handsome man in her painting" shouted the others.

Everyone laughed again.

"Where did he come from when he was handsome ?" yell at the others.

Everyone laughed back.

"About a handsome man who lives in darkness" the teacher repeated Athena's remarks.

The teacher immediately approached the painting, which was dominated by dark colors. Closer to very close, Athena also came closer like the teacher.

Then looking at the teacher, he himself did not know what his teacher was looking for in the painting.

"Are you sure there's a handsome guy in there ?" ask the teacher.

Students giggled, Athena nodded loudly.

"How do you see it ?" ask the teacher.

"Pake a bath-eye" replied Athena.

The class laughed out loud. The teacher shook his head.

"You're making a special painting for indigo people ?" the teacher immediately walked in the other direction.

"Buddies if you want to see the painting of Athena, do not use ordinary eyes but wear bathy eyes" shouted one student, all laughing out loud.

Recalling the events that had long since passed, Athena laughed to herself. Suddenly the teacher interrupted him.

"Athena don't make paintings that are seen using the eyes bathin again" said the art teacher.

"Good ma'am" said Athena obediently.

The students laughed.

"Well, when we want to see a handsome man in the dark again" said one student and another laughing.

"Failure, we've sharpened our bath-eyes to look at your painting Athena" shouted another student, the class boisterously returned.

Athena submissive blushed.

"Kok they didn't forget the same thing happened ?" ask Athena to Vivi.

"Salah loe himself anyway, tell people to look at the painting with bathin eyes" said Vivi with a laugh.

And now Athena was serious about making her paintings, though they didn't look so good, but she could explain them.

"What painting is Athena ?" asked teacher.

"The painting is of a lonely man in a crowd" Athena said.

The teacher looked back at the painting.

"Is that the guy ?" the teacher asked him to show the shape of a shadow of a tall male body.

Athena nodded, all curious to see.

"There really is" shouted another student.

They took turns looking at Athena's paintings.

"What is the name of this painting"

"A X E L"
