How Can I Not Love You?
3-Napra Cogan

"What.?! Lo seriously??"

Arka asked Alicia after she heard the explanation of what she had just experienced in the toilet.

"Yes.. You don't believe it anyway??"

"Wah..means now you're really an idol dong in this school..?"

"yes, but..." There was disappointment in that sentence.

"But what?"

"But I feel weird"

"Lho.. Wh why? As far as I know, everyone wants to be an idol at school, but why not?"

"Gue also do not know why I feel rich gini. I obviously don't like it"

"Hm.. How do you want??"

" Aw... Uh! I'm laper"

Seeing that, Arka could only smile while eating the food she had ordered.  Alicia is a unique woman, she knows that all women really want to be in her position now, but Alicia instead thinks otherwise, it would be better if he became an ordinary student like other children.

"Alicia, you are unique.. Pull over!"

Said the Ark in his heart.

***

IT..!!!!

The bell rang, and all students were welcome to return home.

The school building was again deserted like no one was inhabiting it. Today there are many stories that children make in their school, such as Alicia who meets an arrogant man.

That's what he said to Erlan, the man he met in the toilet.

The arrogant man continues to loom in the memory of an Alicia, whether what makes him always think of the man that clearly the man made Alicia curious about the personality of the arrogant man.

"Allen..! I'm anter home yuk"

Bring Arka.

"But I'm usually picked up by my driver.."

"Call me, say the same driver, if today you go home with me.."

"Ummm.. How is it.??"

"Come on.. I want to take you somewhere.."

"okay deh.. I called my driver first, yes" replied Alicia with a small smile on her face.

"okay! Sip,"

After informing the driver, Alicia went with Arka on a Blue sport bike.

"Arka, where are we going?" Ask Alicia.

"There's a"

"Hm.. I want to know"

"Later you know"

Arka kept on riding his motorcycle.

Because he was not used to riding a sport bike, a look of fear on Alicia's face, until occasionally Alicia told Arka to take the bike slowly.

"Arca.. Slowly dong! I don't usually ride a bike"

"Lo just calm down.. I've brought a motorbike"

But Alicia was still a little scared. Naturally, his name is also the first time riding a motorcycle, what else is a motor sport, his high sitting position makes Alicia more anxious.

He was eager to wrap his arms around Arka, but Alicia was still too afraid to act. He is not familiar with Arka.

" if you're afraid, just hug" Arka said as she pulled Alicia's hand into her arms.

At first Alicia hesitated to hug, but out of fear, Alicia finally ventured to embrace Arka.

***

"Where are we?" Alicia asked as soon as they reached their destination.

"We're on the mountain" replied Arka briefly.

"mountain?" Alicia slightly frowned.

"Yes at the waterfall.. You didn't see? Is this a lot of water? You didn't see?? Gee.. Don't-don't you be myopic, huh? You need to check your eyes" Cibir Arka.

"yes, my eyes are still good!" Hand Alicia over while nudging Arka's shoulder slowly.

Arka was silent for a moment while enjoying the cool breeze around the waterfall.

Seeing Arka speechless, raising a question in Alicia's mind, why did Arka suddenly shut up? Thought it.

"Lo why diem?"

"Shhhh...." Said Arka while landing her finger on Alicia's tiny lips.

" iii.. What the hell.?!" Alicia brushed off Arka's hand.

"Diem first! Try to cry out the wind.merdu right?"

"wind blowing? Tuny?" Alicia's brows fused to hear Arka's words. He was a little surprised.

Arka nodded softly as she replied, "Yes..."

"Ih.. It's also my voice this time!" Denied Alicia by letting out a cry and made Arka a little upset.

arka told Alicia to shut up, but Alicia didn't shut up. Arka then smothered Alicia's mouth so that the girl stopped talking. Arka wanted Alicia to listen to the cool, soothing afternoon breeze while saying.

"Ih.. It was told to diem really hard..?"

Feeling unable to accept the actions of Arka, Alicia also bit Arka's hand that smothered her mouth until Arka was in pain.

"Aaagghh...!!! Sick tau?!" Shouted Arka while pulling her hand.

"Mistake yourself! Why do you shut my mouth with your hands?! His hands stink again"

"Huh?? The timing?? I washes my hands" said Arka. Arka smelled his hand and felt nothing smelly.

"no! No smell! Idung lo aja sucks!!"

"Ih.. It's delicious!"

Such is the togetherness that appears from the friendship of Arka and Alicia.

There may be a little quarrel in their relationship, but that is what embellishes and embellishes their story.

Arka is able to make Alicia feel comfortable and safe near her, even Alicia is now very close to Arka so they always tell her whatever they feel, there is no secret between them, there is no secret between them, no matter how small they always share it together.

***

The sun goes back to sunset changed by moonlight whose light is not so bright but so meaningful to accompany a cool night enveloping the journey home Arka and Alicia from the waterfall.

"Arka, thank you for today. I really can walk the same way you" said Alicia when she arrived in front of her house.

"Yes Equally, I also like to be able to walk the same lo, you are not angry with me?"

"angry? Yes, it is not. Why am I angry with you?"

"Yes.. Maybe I'm bummering"

Alicia chuckles amusedly hearing her.

"god.. Where maybe I can be angry with you, I'm happy how the same way you, so there's no way I'm angry with you"

"Thank God that's it"

"Yes, I'm going in first"

"Yes"

"Lo be careful on the road," Alicia's message read.

"Each boss..!" Replied Arka while sticking her hand to her forehead like she was respecting a flag.

Alicia only responded with a sweet smile.

Arka continued to look at Alicia until she actually entered the house and disappeared behind the door.

~Your eyes...

Your laughter binds...

Lied to!! If I'm not hooked~

Such were the words Arka said before she stuck gas and left Alicia's house.

Yep! Arka has been in love with Alicia since the beginning of Alicia entered her school. They are blind if they do not see the beauty of Alicia is very extraordinary, beautiful not only outside, but also inside, Alicia is beautiful.

Alicia has large eyeballs, with plump eyelashes, slightly chubby cheeks, cute little lips, and beautiful eyes. It's only natural that he became an idol of one school, Arka thought.

***

Since the beginning of Alicia entered the school gate, she has been noticed by many pairs of eyes.

His steps were followed by men who idolized him until he entered the school building.

A feeling of alert approached the long-haired girl. Every now and then he looks back to make sure things don't happen.

"Hey.. Pretty..?"

"Beautiful morning"

"Alicia.. I Love You!!"

Such was the voice heard from those who followed him. Alicia hastened her steps to get to class. But suddenly one of his fans walked by His side and said.

"Alicia, do you want me to?"

"no, thank you" replied Alicia nervously.

"Father Al, I'm going to class, yes,"

"No need!"

Alicia further accelerated her pace so that she could avoid those people.

As soon as she reached the classroom, Alicia immediately sat in her chair and kept quiet.

Meanwhile, the men who had followed him were still defending him outside the door. This certainly makes Alicia more uncomfortable and anxious. Fortunately Arka was coming soon.

Arka who saw many people in front of the door of her class was astonished. He walked closer to them. After peeking out of the window, Arka finally found out why they were all gathered in front of her class.

With emotion, Arka kicked the door while saying.

"what the fuck?! Why are you all gathering in front of my class?!"

Arka snapped at those people and made everyone who heard her startled, including Alicia.

"Dissolve! Disperse!!" Arka's orders and directly followed by them.

"yes-yes, just a few times"

Said one of the men who had been following Alicia. With Arka slowly stepping into the classroom, this he did so that Alicia did not feel afraid to see him, because this was the first time Arka was rude to others in front of Alicia.

Alicia slowly stood up from her seat, her eyes looking red as if she wanted to cry with Alicia's trembling body staring at the man before her.

Alicia immediately hugged Arka as soon as the arc reached the side where Alicia was standing. Alicia looked so frightened and agitated.

"Hey, relax, everything is safe" Arka said to calm Alicia down.

"Gue's.. I'm afraid of Ar" Alicia said in a quivering voice.

"why are you afraid?" Ask Arka quietly while stroking Alicia's head.

"They followed me earlier. I don't know what they want. I'm really agitated Arka"

"Relax, I'll always take care of you"

Alicia let go of her embrace and looked at Arka who was also looking at her in the shade. Alicia's feelings have improved a little now.

"thank you. I don't know if there's no luck I will be rich how, I'm really not comfortable with the situation earlier.."

"Hu'um, Yes, don't be afraid anymore" Reply Arka.

Not long after, began to arrive the students who were in class with Arka and Alicia, namely class XI. MIPA 2'S.

"Ehem.ahem! Remember, this is a school, not a hotel"

Said a female student who had just stone her way into that class.

"yes yes!" Timpal Arka and immediately went towards his right seat which was behind Alicia's seat.

***

KKKRRIIINNGGG!!!

"Good kids, we have a lesson today, do not forget the PR is done"

"Yes sir!"

Not yet had the teacher to say good afternoon, the students even scattered out of the classroom to different places of rest.

And Alicia too. Today he was eager to eat meatballs, what else the weather on that day was quite cold.

"What do you want to eat?" Ask Alicia.

"What would you eat yourself?" Arka asked back.

"Gue wants to eat meatballs"

"Hm.. Yes, I'm just as rich"

"okay!"

According to his wishes and Arka, he also ordered a meatball two servings for himself and Arka.

"More.. Don't eat first! I want to take a hue first" said Alicia when delivering Arka's order.

Apparently Arka's order meatballs came first, so Alicia had to go back to the cashier to pick up the meatballs.

When she got her order meatballs, Alicia immediately went to her table to eat with Arka, but because she did not want to stay to eat by Arka, Alicia walked quickly to her dining table, but because of that he accidentally nudged someone until the meatballs in his hands spilled and wet the clothes of the person he was nudging.

Alicia immediately panicked for a moment.

"Ouch... Geez, sorry sorry, I didn't accidentally" Alicia said as she wiped the clothes of the man she just grabbed with her handkerchief.

"Now?!"

The voice sounded familiar to Alicia's ears. To make sure that his instincts are not wrong Alicia also saw the face of the person who had just been spilled meatballs in front of him.

"Eh, you right?–"

Alicia's speech was interrupted because it was directly in the hose by the man.

"Decoration... Lu again! Lu again! Why don't you stop looking for my same problem?!" Said the guy who accidentally in Alicia's arms tightly.

Alicia tried to remember the tall guy's face.

'He's a cocky guy from yesterday' Alicia said in her heart.

"Dam!! Even diem again! Hot tau" Omel guy while wagging his hands in front of Alicia's face.

The man's words again invited the crowd and surrounded Alicia and the man who was in trouble with her.

"Eh, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it" said Alicia.

"Sorry sorry! Is it just an apology you can say?"

Alicia seemed to ignore the man's words. He glanced at the guy's uniform that was wet due to the spilling of meatballs. Alicia knew it must be hot.

"uh.. That must be hot, right? Here I clean up" Alicia pulled the man's hand and intended to take him to sit down to clean his clothes.

"That's okay!"

"Don't be rich. I know I'm wrong, so I clean his clothes, besides that I have hot meatballs, later if your skin blisters how? I was also wronged"

The tall guy breathed a rough sigh. "OK Okay!"

Finally the man complied to be treated by Alicia.

Alicia picked up the handkerchief in her pocket and cleaned the clothes of the man who was spilled with the handkerchief.

Alicia slowly cleaned the shirt. Sometimes he saw the face of the man in front of him and then rubbed his clothes back

"What's wiry??!" Sewot.

"Not really, really ge er"

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, until Alicia finally asked the man to take off his clothes so that Alicia could see the condition of his skin affected by hot sauce.

"We're going to UKS yuk"

"Well?" Asked the man with a look of astonishment.

"Gue wants to see, your skin is scalded by hot water is not it" said Alicia hesitated, afraid that the man refused his invitation violently. But his guess was wrong.

Without a fight the man obeyed Alicia's will.

After arriving at the UKS, the man took off half his shirt and looked at his chest that was hit by hot water.

Alicia was silent for a moment when she saw the chest of the field that the man had. His chest was so fielded and muscular, it seemed that the man often exercised and his body fit, to make Alicia swallow and was so amazed to see those muscles.

"hey..! The chunky!" Reprove the man while flicking a finger in front of Alicia and make him instantly aware.

"Ah.. Yes yes"

While looking at the burly muscle Alicia compressed the man's chest. Alicia liked the man's chest so much that she didn't realize her lips were starting to smile on their own.

"Alicia"

The man's words suddenly resuscitated him and immediately looked at the man.

"Huh? Do you know my name?!"

"hey.. Who doesn't know your name, ALICIA!! the most popular girl in BATAVIA HIGH SCHOOL" said the man while putting on a cynical smile.

"actually I don't want to be an idol at this school" Alicia was embarrassed.

Hearing Alicia's reply, the man was astonished and asked again.

"Why?"

Alicia breathed a heavy sigh. Alicia felt disliked by some boys who always teased and flirted with her. It really made Alicia feel uncomfortable.

"huh.. Be done! Don't talk about it"

"Why?"

"Gue don't want to!"

"Why?"

"Ih.. If I said I didn't want to! Yeah don't want to!"

"I mean, why do you always make trouble with me?"

Alicia was shocked to hear that.

"gue doesn't mean to make trouble anyway, I'm just–"

"Ah, that's it..! I'm tired of talking to you, there will be no end"

Alicia's speechless. He himself does not know why he always has a problem with the man, besides who is deliberately looking for problems with the man, he himself already has problems, he also has problems, why you should look for trouble with others.

"i want to go back to class, my chest is okay too" said the guy while back buttoning his shirt.

"uh.. Wait!" Prevent Alicia while holding the guy's hand.

"What else??"

"Lo really don't papa?"

"Really! Most of your chest is why-why"

Alicia stared at the tall boy. What does her chest mean? What's wrong with his chest.

"uh uh? His macasud?" Alicia asked with a face full of question marks.

"Yes, look at your chest!" Ketus the guy who is still standing on the doorstep of UKS.

Hearing those words also made Alicia upset and wanted to grab the man's hair.

Oh, my God, this isn't a bump. But the nature of women knows.

"Ih! you're not being polite anyway.!" Upset Alicia while trying to pull that perverted guy's hair. But because of his tall body, making Alicia so difficult to reach the head of the man. The guy was also always able to avoid the reach of Alicia's hand that was about to grab her hair.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

After saying sorry to Alicia, the man immediately left while tidying up his somewhat disheveled hair.

"Erna wait!" Alicia.

The guy turned his head and found Alicia who was still standing by the door, while the guy had walked a few steps away from her.

"hey! My name is Erlan, not erna!" Denying Arrogant Guys.

Oh. Yes, Alicia just remembered that the man's name was Erlan, but because his name is a bit difficult to call making Alicia's tongue sprain when saying his name.

"I'm sorry, I mispronounced your name. Your name is hard to call anyway..!"

"Huh? Difficult to call? Heh! One school also knows my name is Erlan, there's nothing wrong.."

"Gue would have apologized, anyways I just heard the name of lo kemaren, it's natural that I mispronounced"

Erlan understood Alicia's actions and forgave her.

"Yes, I'm sorry."

It was just a short remark Erlan said to Alicia, then he left Alicia alone in the UKS room.

Instead of coming out of the UKS, Alicia was busy imagining Erlan's chest that he had been compressing. His chest was so fielded that it was hard to forget that chest image from his memory

"Yes my. Her chest is that!! Very field!"

Alicia unconsciously said that sentence and heard by the teacher of UKS officers who were suddenly behind her.

"Who's in the field?"

Ask the teacher to disperse his dream about the chest of Erlan's field.

"Huh? Not anyone's chest kok buk, if so I'm sorry to go out first ya buk"

Alicia hastily exited the UKS to avoid deeper questions from the UKS teacher.

Alicia walked in the Corridor to her class while smiling in remembrance of the events she had just experienced.

Erlans. The man who was only 3 days he knew, was able to make him keep thinking of him. Alicia herself wondered why he could be like this, even though Erlan was not a good man for him, let alone his indifferent and arrogant way of speaking made Alicia immediately ilfil on the figure of Erlan.

Just as Alicia was about to enter the classroom, she was suddenly startled by Arka hiding behind the door.

"Was..?"

"Where are you from?! I eat alone in the cafeteria again..."

"Sorry, I was–"

"So what?? Are you the same as Erlan?!"

Alicia's eyes rounded hearing that. How Arka knew about the incident.

"uh uh? You know what happened?" Ask Alicia.

"Yes know it. One school knows it too"

Alicia was astonished. Is that how word spread in school? Or does the school have spies?

"Can't it be that fast the news spread?"

"Yes, it's clear! Elo the most popular chick in this school, while Erlan the guy is popular too. How could you not get the news?!"

Alicia fell silent, thinking that all this was good too, if people knew that she was close to Erlan, the most popular guy in the school, and that she was close to Erlan, surely the men who idolized him would retreat and no longer chase after him. Moreover, Erlan seemed to be a rude male figure, surely those people would stay away from him by themselves.

"Lho.. Good dong if people already know!" Said Alicia.

"good? Good from where, anyway?"

Ask Arka who still does not understand what Alicia means.

"Yes good.. If people knew I was close to Erlan, they would not dare to chase me anymore, right? Aren't you??"

"Allicia! You don't understand, Erlan's same deck is a lot of risks.."

"Recommissioned? What risk?" Alicia did not understand.

"l.. Erlan's not good for you"

"Why do you say rich?"

"Al, as long as you know, Erlan's got a girl, her name is Racgel, well.. He was very possessive with Erlan, because they had grown from small, so Rachel always ngawasin Erlan, if lo deket same Erlan, surely you will get the stone deh.."

Alicia gawked at what she had just heard from Arka, Alicia really did not understand what Arka meant. Girl friend? Rachel's? Possessive? What does all that mean? Alicia really doesn't understand at all.

"You mean?" Ask Alicia further.

"I mean–"

!!!KKKRRIIINNGG!!!!!

Arka had not yet continued his words, the doorbell had rang again and stopped their conversation that day.

At first Arka promised to explain it all to Alicia when she came home later, but she forgot and Alicia also forgot. Until no one talks about that anymore
