He's Not A Bad Boy
Chapter 11 - The Expression of Unrequited

You are like a light in the dark of the night, like a coolant in the heat of the day. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be friends with you, even though I know you always keep your limits and distance from me.

Ye know? Just being able to chat with you, I'm so happy. If given the chance, I would love to have you, but I don't know where to start because all of this is new to me. You are my first, and I hope you are my last.

(Boy Anderson)

The atmosphere in front of the school was instantly silent. Khaira could hear Boy's words just a few seconds ago so clearly, but somehow she wanted to hear them again, as if hearing them once wasn't enough.

"From the first time I met you, my heart was broken by a girl, and it was just you. From that moment on I don't want to be away from you, I want to always be around you, so I can take care of you, too" Boy said after a long time he had harbored it all along.

Do not ask his heart at this time, because it certainly feels like a mosque bedug sign of breaking the fast that the speed increases many times.

Khaira was speechless with a red blushing face hearing Boy's expression she never expected. This was the first time for him to hear such an expression, leaving him confused as to what he should say to reply to the words of the man before him.

"Ra, do you hear me?" asked Boy because Khaira did not give any reply to his expression

"Yes, I heard it," Khaira replied briefly and slightly awkwardly of course.

It feels like Khaira is leaving soon because the current atmosphere makes it even more uncomfortable. He does not want to give hope, nor does he want to hurt people.

The voice of Adhan that echoed that afternoon was like a helper for Khaira. Now he has a reason to immediately go and avoid the discussion earlier.

"Already Adzan, I'm going first." Without waiting for a reply from Boy, Khaira immediately walked quickly to his motorbike.

Boy let out a lethargic breath as he looked at Khaira who was getting further away. Honestly, he really hopes that his expression can be welcomed by Khaira, because after going through a few days of friends, he liked his good personality, the desire to have was present in his heart as time went on.

Not wanting to lose Khaira who was getting away, he immediately approached his motorbike and followed Khaira from behind as soon as the girl left the school yard.

Boy's forehead shriveled when he saw Khaira turning her motorbike to a mosque not far from his home.

"Why are you there?" boy shouted because Khaira had parked his motorbike in the courtyard of the mosque, while he was still on the side of the road.

"Don't you hear that call?" Khaira pointed upwards where there was a mosque toa that issued the sound of the adhan.

Boy is a child born into a Muslim family, but making world success their top priority. Therefore, although Boy clearly knew that it was the sound of an adhan or call to prayer, he never had the desire to fulfill that call.

"I heard," replied Boy casually.

"Why are you still there?" Khaira fused her eyebrows looking at Boy's attitude.

"Do I also have to pray?" Boy took off his leather jacket and revealed a black wing tattoo along the arm of his right hand.

"I've heard someone say that my prayers will not be accepted because I have a tattoo" Boy said.

Khaira saw the tattoo clearly, he stepped over to Boy until they were only 150 centimeters away. "God is Oft-Forgiving and Most Merciful, if you want to repent earnestly and no longer make a tattoo on your body God willing your prayers will be accepted. God does not dislike the beauty of art as it is on your arm, it is just that God loves His servant that He forbids us to do something that can hurt ourselves like make a tattoo."

"But the word my tattoo guy should be removed, Ra."

"If indeed you are sure when removing the tattoo does not pose a fatal danger to your body, it is better to remove it. However, if you are worried that removing the tattoo will cause harm to your body, then you are not obliged to remove it, God will not make it difficult for His servant who wants to repent, Boy."

"I'll go in first then." Khaira immediately left Boy who was still in his place. The man was reassuring himself before he finalized his decision.

"I'll think about it first, Ra. I'm sorry." Boy drove his bike away from the mosque, with no desire to go inside.

Khaira who saw Boy leave from inside the mosque could only waste a lethargic breath. "May God soften your heart, Boy," he said.

It is not easy to take an advice for granted, especially it is very contrary to his habits so far. However, while still being given longevity, Khaira hopes Boy can change despite having to relearn from 0.

Boy and the Black Wings gang are currently enjoying their night out at a nightclub. Disco songs were heard echoing in the room, all the visitors at the night club seemed to sway freely to the rhythm of the song, both men and women.

Unlike them, as usual Boy prefers to sit near the bar table while merok0k. Sometimes he saw the state of the members who were cool swaying together, some were with his lover, but some were alone.

"Hi, just be alone." The sound of a girl from the side instantly made Boy turn to the source of the voice.

"Aren't you at school?" ask the girl.

Boy frowned as he felt not so foreign to the girl beside him. "You?"

"I'm a friend of Khaira's that you held her hand with."

"Oh, you were the one who wanted to pull the veil?" Boy now clearly remembered who the girl was.

"You misunderstood, we were just doing drama rehearsals for our class next week. We were best friends in class" the girl told a lie and Boy did not respond to anything, the man just kept quiet and went back to smoking without looking at her.

Feeling ignored, the girl asked for a glass of alcoholic drink to a bartender and presented it to Boy. "Drink, as Khaira's friend, I'll buy you a drink, who knows we can be close" said the girl, but instead of thanking Boy just shut up and take a quick look without intending to drink it.

"Oh yeah, we haven't met, my name is Silvi, what's your name?" Not wanting to give up, the girl invited Boy to meet while extending her hand, but let alone welcoming Silvi's hand, Boy did not even turn his head in his direction.

"Boss, I have some important news" called Ifan who suddenly came over to Boy.

"What's wrong?" tanya Boy now sits back to Silvi, making the girl again pull his hand because it did not get a welcome from Boy. It felt so embarrassed because many saw him ignored by Boy.

"Our spies in Brandalz's gang were all busted for being caught. Now he's in the hospital" whispered Ifan.

"What's? Let's go over there." Boy and the Black Wings rushed out of the nightclub and headed straight to the hospital.

Now there lived Silvi who was sitting near the bar table. Sometimes he drinks his drink while thinking about something.

"Boss? Is that his name or his nickname?" monologue Silvi curious.

"Sister, do you know the name of the guy who was sitting next to me?" Silvi now asked the bartender who was busy concocting drinks.

"Oh, that guy was our loyal customer, if not the wrong name Boy," replied the bartender.

"So his name is Boy" Silvi said with a smile on his face. "It's not in vain that I get out of the room quietly and go here, so I meet and know the name of that handsome guy."
