Ghost Love Story's
CHAPTER 73 ~ Second day OSEK ~
Axel immediately turned his car back to pick up Athena. Axel was determined to persuade the girl at any cost. He had to kneel before the girl. But Athena was nowhere to be seen on the sidewalk where she had been left. Axel panicked, calling Athena's name. But the girl did not show herself.
Recall how Athena's expression was when she asked him with teary eyes. Axel regretted not answering the girl's question.
I liked you from the first time I saw you, I didn't like that senior. Why didn't I answer the question? Why would I let him think differently of me? Athena, there is nothing more meaningful to me than you, inner.
Axel walked around the quiet sidewalk, the road to the campus so far from the highway is impossible for students to walk on foot. Each of them has their own vehicle at a minimum with a motorcycle.
Axel grabbed his phone and called Athena. There was a continuous tone but Athena did not pick up her phone.
Oh my God, what am I supposed to do? Just walk away? What would Mama say because I let her go home by herself? Is she okay? Has he reached home? Honey, I'm sorry, inner Axel
Axel returns to drive his car to the highway, his mind raging between wanting to immediately ask Athena's house or wait for tomorrow morning.
Finally Axel decided to meet Athena when picking up to leave together tomorrow morning. However, once at home his heart was not calm. Axel tries to call Athena again. But the girl still did not answer her phone.
Axel's having dinner with a moody face, ma'am. Olivia asked, but Axel just shook his head. His heart was still worried because Athena had not yet received a phone call from him.
God, what if she hasn't returned home yet? What if something happens to her? Nah! Nah! I will regret it all my life! I will regret what I did! inner Axel shouted.
The man panicked himself in his room, immediately leaving for Athena's house.
I have to know the circumstances, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight. Athena didn't pick up my phone, what if something happened to her. I won't be able to forgive myself, inner Axel.
The man drove down the highway at high speed. The first day of the week makes the streets quiet because people who rest because they are tired of daily activities. In a short time Axel had arrived in front of Athena's house.
It looks fine, like nothing happened. But how do I meet him? What's the reason I saw him tonight? inner Axel bowed before the door.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Anna opened the door, Axel was shocked and immediately shocked.
"Athena ... Ma, Athena .. she ... I ...," Axel doesn't know how to ask Athena without making Miss. Anna was shocked because she didn't drive her home this afternoon.
"What do you want this to do? Come on in first" said Anna.
"Maye ...,"
"Whatwhat? From Athens, Athens, but it's not clear what your question is" Anna said.
Axel actually wanted to ask if Athena had come home without making the woman he respected was surprised. Also wanted to ask if Athena was okay without making the soft-faced mother become startled. Axel was confused as to how to ask.
This is how if you do something wrong, everything you want to say feels will make people angry. God, how do I ask without making Mama surprised if I did not take her daughter home, inner Axel.
"Athena was asleep, after dinner, Athena immediately wanted to rest. Are you not tired all day undergoing OSEK. Why not rest? Why are you even here?" ask Anna.
He's asleep, oh God, thank God. Athena had returned home safely, inner Axel was instantly happy.
"I miss Athena Ma, you can't see her for a second" Axel asked.
Mrs. Anna laughs.
"You are there, just met last night already missed? Yeah, I saw him in his room. He said he wanted to go to bed soon" Anna said.
"I won't bother Ma, just look at him for a minute" Axel pleaded.
Mrs. Anna nodded. Axel immediately ran upstairs and entered Athena's room. It was seen that the face of the girl he loved was asleep with the top of the nose still flushed. Axel sat beside Athena observing the face of the girl he loved. She gently brushed off the strands of hair that covered part of her eyes.
"I'm sorry baby, don't cry anymore! I'll do anything to get your forgiveness. Athena I love you, I always love you" Axel whispered in Athena's ear.
Slowly the man's lips turned toward Athena's. Axel kissed the girl's lips so softly for fear of waking her up.
"See you tomorrow, baby" whispered Axel.
Then stepped out of Athena's room slowly.
"Athena was sleeping Ma, then tomorrow I will return," Axel said all the way home.
Mrs. Anna nodded and intended to take Axel up to the porch of the house.
"No need to drive Ma, I have disturbed Mama's rest, I feel bad. I want to go home first Ma," Axel said goodbye while kissing the back of the mother's hand of the girl he loved.
Mrs. Anna nodded with a smile and Axel immediately left. On the way Axel was relieved to have seen with his own eyes that Athena had reached his house had even fallen asleep. Although a question mark appeared in his mind, how did the girl get to his house.
Tomorrow I'll ask when I pick him up later, inner Axel.
A question that bothered her mind indeed, but was not comparable to her heart that was relieved to see Athena had returned home safely.
The next morning Axel went straight to Athena's house, picked up the girl to set off together for college. Axel even just snatched a sandwich for him to eat in the car as breakfast. However, when he arrived at Athena's house, the man was disappointed.
"Lho are you here? Athena left early in the morning. He said there was a group task he had to complete this morning. Didn't he call you? He said he couldn't wait for you and he didn't want to make you leave early. Mama told me you must have come to pick her up but Athena said she would call you later so you wouldn't have to pick her up at home. How's this kid? Did he forget to call you?" ask Anna.
"No Ma, maybe I didn't hear that he called" Axel said, looking down.
The problem with Athena is not over. "Well, maybe he called when you were in the bathroom" Anna said.
Axel nodded while smiling wryly. Soon the man begged to go to college. His heart was worried again, Axel felt that Athena had deliberately avoided him.
Naturally he was angry at me, I had already ignored him. Makes her think that I like other girls. He made her cry and left her to walk on the sidewalk. I was so arrogant, I felt I was right that I wouldn't apologize to her. Athena forgive me, please don't shy away from me. I can't break up with you Athena, inner Axel in tears.
Once on campus, Axel wants to find Athena. The man stopped by the Athens building first to meet the girl before starting the second day of OSEK. But Axel did not find the girl until he finally returned to his majors with a troubled heart.
"Hey, daydream. Have you signed the seniors?" asked Axella when he saw Axel did nothing even though the activities of OSEK had begun since.
Axel shook his head.
"Why? You don't want to ask for their autograph?" ask Axella again.
"Not interested yet" Axel replied briefly.
"Wow..."
Axel chose to sit pensively compared to approaching the seniors to get their signatures. Axel seemed to not care if he got one or not at all.
"I'll do it but not now" Axel replied eventually.
"You're sick again? Dizziness?" ask Axella.
Axel shook his head. The girl scrunched her mouth. Axel's attitude was back as it was yesterday the beginning of their meeting. I like to daydream and not talk.
"You do this every morning, right? Always pensive and hard to talk to. Are there times when you are silent like a puppet? What time did you start normal like a normal human being?" ask Axella.
Axel looked over with a look of wonder.
"Why see me like that? I should have been the one who was astonished. Yesterday we were familiar, now awkward again. What's lunch later, we're eating bread together again?" ask Axella.
Axel simply turned his gaze the other way. Not to be disrespectful, but Axel really wasn't in the mood to talk. Axel hasn't met Athena yet, the man still hasn't spoken to the girl he loves. Axel doesn't know exactly what his relationship with Athena is. Athena was avoiding him, and Axel had trouble finding her.
Axella finally let Axel pensively himself. The girl resumed her activities, while Axel still could not restore his mood because he had not resolved his problem with Athena.
During the afternoon break, Axel drove his car to the campus area majoring in Athens. The man was looking to and fro. Until finally saw the girl was sitting in a lesehan under a shady tree in a garden.
Axel stopped his steps, with a sad look looking at the girl who was laughing with the man he saw yesterday. His heart was broken, what caused their quarrel was again seen by him. Athena laughed as if nothing had happened.
Is that how soon you forget about me? That fast you brushed off our problems until your laughter could be so loose? That fast you replaced my position with her? inner Axel wondered.
The man fell down and shed tears. A girl approaches Athena and asks, while Axel can only stare from her hiding place.
"Athena, did Okta forget your order orange or strawberry drink?" ask a friend of Athena.
"If you forget, what is it. Even tired of coming here, what is available. If there are oranges, strawberries can, melons can be, whatever" said Athena.
The girl also went to the cafeteria. I don't know what instigated Axel, the man confronted the girl. A confused face does not know what it has done.
"What's wrong? Why block me?" ask the girl.
"I ... I ...,"
Why this guy? How about shorting ? Does he like me? What possible? the girl wondered.
"Sorry, you're Athena's friend, right?" ask Axel at last.
The girl nodded quickly.
"Did Athena, have a special relationship with that man?" axel asked while pointing towards Athena.
The girl followed Axel's index instructions.
"Adith? Any timing? Just knew him immediately? We were group friends. Athena has a boyfriend ...,"
"What?" ask Axel directly.
"You have a crush on him, right? She already has a boyfriend! The first day yesterday, a lot of people immediately shot him but he always said, if he already had a girlfriend. So if you also want to pedekate with him, do not expect. Once there was a handsome guy who shot him, Athena immediately rejected him. He said he had a guy. You are handsome, handsome even, but I doubt because Athena is like a faithful man. Yesterday afternoon if we didn't force lunch together, she would have gone to her guy in the management department" she explained.
"You mean yesterday? Lunch in the cafeteria? You guys having lunch together?" ask Axel.
"Yes, I'm the same Okta who ordered food. Athena and Adit were looking for the dinner table" the girl said.
Hearing that Axel immediately ran towards Athena. The girl was shocked when she saw Axel had suddenly stood before her.
"I'm sorry Athena, I'm sorry for what I did yesterday" Axel said with a flushed nose and teary eyes.
Athena turned to Adit, feeling bad about the man. But Adit just smiled. Suddenly Axel pulls Athena's hand and makes the girl hit Axel's body. The handsome man immediately hugged Athena and gave her a kiss on the lips. Athena automatically pushed Axel's body.
"Sir, this is on campus!" yelled Athena while looking around her.
There are indeed many students who rest while enjoying lunch together. They chose to enjoy their lunch in the garden under the shady trees rather than in the crowded cafeteria.
Axel shed tears staring at Athena. The man was aware of his mistake in doing so but he wanted to rush to end the trouble that had arisen between them. Axel wants Athena to forgive him immediately.
Athena could not bear to look at Axel who shed tears. Soon the girl takes Axel to a deserted campus hallway. There Axel immediately hugged Athena back.
"I'm sorry Athena, I'm sorry" Axel said, hugging Athena.
"I think Big Brother has cut ties with me for choosing that beautiful senior," Athena replied as well with teary eyes.
"No, Athena, I'm not like that. There's not a single girl in the world that means more than you" Axel said.
"really? But yesterday my brother ignored me. Brother left me, I thought it was all over" said Athena with tears streaming down her eyes.
"No Athena, I have misunderstood. I was upset when I saw you eating lunch with another man while I was trying to find you. I'm a fool, I should have believed you. Believe me, my attitude yesterday was not serious. I was just upset, I had nothing to do with that senior. Trust me Athena, forgive me dear" Axel cupped the face of the girl he loved.
Axel immediately buried his lips into the girl's lips. Athena could not ignore the kiss she missed. After crying all day yesterday until the night before bed, Athena desperately missed the kiss from the man and hoped that the kiss could resolve their quarrel.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" snapped a person with an OSEK committee identification tag hanging from his neck.
"You want to pervert here?" snarled the senior of the man again.
"So you? Apparently he already has a girlfriend. Is this college a courtship for you?" ask the senior again.
"Sorry, sister" said Athena and immediately pulled Axel's hand and invited him to leave the place.
"Are you gonna tell your girlfriend that we kissed earlier?" asked the senior with a slight shout.
"What?" yelled Athena no less loudly.
Athena stopped her steps and looked at the senior. His eyes sharply pointed at the man. Athena's chest went downhill as it held back emotions. The senior just laughed out loud. Axel became emotional and wanted to approach the senior but Athena got in the way.
Axel looked at Athena's face, in the heart of the man was a question mark. Did Athena and senior really kiss?
