How Can I Not Love You?
5-arka why?

The next day, Erlan comes to pick up Alicia at her house to keep her promise.

"Erlan's? You really come here?"

Alicia asked as she saw Erlan in the living room of her house.

"And I want to pick you up, let's go, fight bad luck you know"

"Yes, let me grab the bag first"

Alicia really didn't expect that Erlan would keep her promise to pick her up for school. At first Alicia thought that Erlan would not keep , but it turned out....

"I.." Erlan said suddenly breaking her reverie.

"Yes?"

"Sorry yes." said Erlan in a weak tone.

"Sorry for what?" Alicia did not understand.

"Rahcel's color hit him yesterday.."

"Well, no problem, I'm fine"

***

Anxiety felt in Arka's chest, seeing Alicia down from Erlan's motorbike made Arka's chest tight until emotions peaked to the crown.

"Allicia! What's in the same anterin as Erlan?!"

"Lho, why?" Ask Alicia as innocently as possible.

"Lo forgot it? Rahcel hit you because of what? Because you're the same deket Erlan! And now you still want to deket same Erlan?! You want to get hit again with Rahuel?!" Arka said a bit emotionally.

He is not angry or upset. It's just that he's worried that Alicia's up to nothing. Because Rachel has already hit Alicia. What if it happens again?

"Arka, you calm down, I won't be in anything like Rahcel. Erlan has been giving the same explanation as Rahcel and he will not hit me again"

Seeing the quarrel between Arka and Alicia, Erlan bored and left them both with a flat face and cold like a refrigerator.

"Erlane! Where are you going?"

Alicia was about to chase after Erlan who suddenly left without saying goodbye to her, but she did not have time to do that because Arka immediately held her back and held tightly to Alicia's hand.

"Where are you going?" Ask Arka.

"Yes, go after Erlan, "

"Ngapain is being chased?! No need! Let Erlan go"

"Arka, Tapi—"

"That's okay! Now we go in yuk"

Without a fight Alicia obeyed Arka and immediately entered the school building.

***

Hours of lessons begin.

The entire student seemed to be busy with their respective subjects. No exception Alicia. He was asked by Mr. Anton to take the Anatomy Torso Tool in the IPA Lab on the 3rd floor. Quickly, Alicia immediately headed to the 3rd floor to pick up the intended tool.

Currently XI.MIPA.2 class is indeed learning about the limbs that are none other than Alicia and Arka class.

Alicia picked up some Anatomy Torso tools, but the tools she needed were lacking.

"You take 3 more torso yes, this is still lacking" said Mr. Anton.

"Yes sir" replied Alicia sprightly.

Lazy to Back and forth, Alicia thought of bringing along her Anatomical Torso Tool at once.

On the way down the stairs, one of the Anatomical Torso he was carrying fell and hit the foot of a person passing under the stairs.

"Erlan?"

Alicia said when she saw someone who was exposed to Torso anatomy.

Erlan took the anatomical Torso tool while looking into Alicia's eyes he said,

"After practice?"

"I–iya"

"Where's arka? How come he didn't help you take Torso anyway?" Ask Erlan kindly. Tumbens.

"There's another assignment in class"

"Oh.. I'm helping Torso with her anatomy" Erlan offered to help.

"Eh, no need! I can" Reject Alicia.

"Can what? Can fall this tool if you bring it"

Erlan said in a mocking tone.

"No, Erlan, I can do it"

"Here I help you, ntar there is more jatoh, trus broken, and you have to change this tool.. Huh! It's even complicated his business"

He said then while pulling one of the anatomy Torso in Alicia's hands.

With these circumstances, Alicia could not refuse any more offers from Erlan, because he was actually having trouble carrying the Torso tool.

They went down the stairs to the 2nd floor. They both fell silent. Not a single sound could be heard from their mouths. Throughout the journey they could only be silent while busy with their respective thoughts.

'Hm.real Erlan is good too ya'

Alicia murmured in her heart.

'Alicia if she looks pretty too'

Erlan muttered anyway.

'Erlan has a girlfriend yet? About what yes.. What's on his mind about me? Is she rich other kids too, say I'm pretty? Or, does he like me? Uh! What the hell am I thinking? Erlan must have had a girlfriend once, she was handsome, tall, white, had a chest field, a good basketball player anyway, no one wanted to'

Without realizing it turns out his daydream has been stretched far away so he did not realize that his class had passed.

Alicia walks with a daydream about Erlan in her head past her class. There was a slight smile on his lips. Erlan who saw that only frowned in astonishment. Alicia is a tambet or what?

"Allicia! Where are you going? Your class is here, right?"

Erlan said breaking her daydream.

Alicia regained her senses and immediately turned her body to face Erlan who was looking at her in surprise. His face had also been flushed like a boiled crab out of embarrassment.

"Oh yes, sorry.. I'm daydreaming"

Alicia said with a shy face.

"Lo daydreaming what the hell?"

"Ehm..."

"Allicia! Let's bring in Torso anatomy, the lesson will be started soon" said Mr. Anton disperse the talk Alicia and Erlan.

"Yes sir"

Erlan also goes to Alicia's class to put Torso anatomy he brought.

After that, he returned to his class.

Arka who saw the incident could only snort angrily while staring at Erlan's back while exiting her class with a sharp eye.

***

The school cafeteria looked so crowded when the break arrived. Almost all the students gathered there to rest their brains after hours of learning. At one of the tables, Arka was sitting with her face bent. Seeing this, Alicia immediately approached Arka with a bowl of chicken noodles in her hand.

"Hey! Why are you here alone?"

Tegur Alicia's.

"What's going on here?" Arka asked back.

"Gue's? I want to eat. I have chicken noodles, don't you want one?"

"Sir" Arka narrowly turned her face away from Alicia.

"Come on! Cobain first, you must have liked it.. It's a really good noodle"

"Gue was full" Again, Arka answered him with a ketus. Not as usual.

"Then anyway? You have not eaten since"

"I am full"

Hm.. It seems that Arka is lashing out at him, so Alicia tries to persuade Arka so that she does not sulk anymore.

Alicia took a spoonful of noodles and gave the chili sauce full on it. Then he fed Arka with the noodles.

"More.. Cobain, I'm bribing you!"

"Don't want Alicia" Arka said without looking at Alicia.

"Ih.. Cobain first, good to know"

"Sir"

"Come on.. Open her mouth. aaaa..."

At first Arka refused it, but she didn't want to lose the chance, hey! Who the hell refuses to bribe a beautiful girl like Alicia?

Ummm..! Arka ate a spoonful of noodles in Alicia's hand.

And suddenly the look on the face of the arc flushed with spiciness, he looked around for drinking water at the table, but there was nothing.

"AH...!!! What a pedal!!"

Seeing such an Arka of spiciness invited laughter for Alicia. He laughed so hard that his tears fell.

After getting a glass of drinking water then the spicy taste in his mouth reduced.

"Allicia! Do you want to poison me?" Pissed Ark.

"Huh? Who wants poison elo? That's sambel not poison!"

"Well! What a crazy pedal!" Arka shook her hand to fan her mouth as if it was burning.

Although Arka likes spicy, but that does not mean he likes to eat Sambal as much. It's not eating chicken noodles with Sambal, but eating sambal with chicken noodles.

"Heheh... Sorry, but you don't papa, do you?" Alicia asked along with her silly grin.

"What about papa? My mouth is burning this"

"Can't be charred..!"

"Hm..."

Arka could only be silent as she looked at Alicia beside her who was still holding back laughter from seeing her spiciness earlier.

Somehow the spicy taste he felt did not mean much to him after he saw a wide smile adorning Alicia's pretty face. In an instant the spicy flavor turned into a sense of happiness and was forgotten just like that.

"Arca.. Why do you see I'm rich?"

Alicia asked as she realized that she was being noticed by Arka.

"Huh?? No, I'm going to the toilet first..."

"okay"

Alicia stared at the back of Arka who went to the toilet until it disappeared in the distance. Somehow Alicia felt something strange in her heart, she felt her laughter so loose and happy. He felt a subtle sigh crisscrossing in his heart, what was this feeling? Why does he feel this? Alicia had laughed like this, but why was there anything different this time? What is this really?

Alicia never found the answer, all she knew was Arka a good man, he was the first person Alicia knew in this school, of course Alicia did not want to lose Arka, no! Alicia doesn't want Arka to leave.

"Hey pretty. Alone, would you like me to?"

Said a male student who suddenly sat by his side while embracing his shoulders.

Immediately Alicia brushed off the male student's hand. "what the hell! Don't be so rude!"

"Eittess.. Don't worry, relax... I just want to nemenin eloquently"

"Gue don't want to be in the same! You go out there!"

The male student grew more and more daring to approach Alicia, while stroking Alicia's fine hair, he said

"How do I not want to?"

Bbbukkk!!!

A raw bogem about the cheek of the man that was none other than the tonjokan of Erlan who was emotional to see the man's behavior, he was so furious that he punched the cheek of the man to turn blue.

the man fell to the floor. He looked in pain until he grimaced.

"Erlane...!" Said Alicia.

"Get out of here before I get mad at you!!"

Pinta Erlan on the man.

But instead of receding and leaving, the man even threw a punch to Erlan's face to make his mouth bleed.

Not to be outdone by her, Erlan returned to retaliate by kicking the man's stomach until he fell and was unconscious.

But before that happened, Alicia immediately pulled Erlan's body and stopped her from doing so.

"Erlane.. Nay! Erlan, that's enough!" Alicia said she was trying to stop Erlan's violent and emotional actions.

"He was insolent with Al.. He must be taught a lesson" Sergey Erlan.

"No, Erlan, that's enough! Do you see that he fainted helplessly? Yes already.. Don't hit it again"

"But–"

"Udah Erlan's.. Pliss.."

Seeing the face of Alicia who was so frightened and hysterical because of this incident, Erlan finally collapsed and did not hit the man.

Alicia relieved.

He asked some of the people who had gathered there to help the man to be taken to the UKS.

"What the hell is that?"

Ask Arka who just got the stone back from the toilet.

"Gee... Bro! I didn't see the incident, wow.. It's grim! What a crazy man!" Said one of Arka's friends who saw the incident.

"What the hell is it? I don't understand" Arka scratched his nape that is not itchy while putting on a look of astonishment.

he had just returned from the toilet and had already seen many people in the crowd near his dining table with Alicia. What's the matter, actually?

"Lo ask yourself the same Alicia, because she knows exactly what happened rich"

"Allen?" Arka was shocked when the name of his new friend was mentioned.

does this storm have anything to do with Alicia?

His friend nodded, saying his words.

Arka immediately approached Alicia who was standing not far from her initial position. There's Erlan there too. Although reluctant, but Arka still approached Alicia to ask this.

Without glancing at Erlan who was next to him, Arka asked Alicia.

"l.. What's up here? How can the canteen mess gini?"

Ask Arka while looking at some chairs that are no longer in place.

"Mh.. Later I explained, now I want to do Erlan first"

Alicia immediately took Erlan away from the canteen leaving Arka alone.

Arka just clenched her hands while looking at Alicia's back and Erlan's back walking out of the canteen. Arka tried to dampen her emotions by closing her eyes so as not to vaporize her in the canteen.

Arka doesn't like Alicia and Erlan's familiar.

"We went to the UKS.. Let me take care of your wounds"

Erlan nodded weakly. Indeed the wound that was near his mouth was so painful, that he was lazy to talk.

Alicia opened the P3K box, and took out the gauze and alcohol inside to clean Erlan's wounds.

Slowly Alicia cleaned Erlan's wound that was still bleeding.

Erlan looked at Alicia fixedly while enjoying Alicia's pretty face.

As with Erlan, Alicia also did the same by paying attention to Erlan's smooth cheeks.

'Duh! Very smooth cheeks, I'm sure if there are flies that way there must be slipped deh'

Alicia said in her heart.

"Don't you think I'm rich?"

Erlan's question instantly made Alicia stop daydreaming.

"Huh? No, I don't think I'm liatin elo, not Ge Er!" Elak Alicia nervously.The look on her face showed that nervousness.

"Ge Er's? Obviously you just satin me, I'm the Ge Er.."

Alicia was speechless, she was unable to resist Erlan's words because she was paying attention to Erlan, just that Alicia was too prestigious to be honest.

"You don't have to do that" Alicia said, switching the conversation.

"Certainly? I have to get elo at the same goddamn guy?! Lest you be harassed?!" Dengus Erlan was even more annoyed.

Erlan does all that just because she doesn't like to see the guy teasing the girl at school. According to Erlan, that's bad behavior. Don't think Erlan did that because he likes Alicia. You're wrong big time.

"It's not like that either, but I mean–"

"What's? Huh uh?" Cut Erlan.

"Yey... Relax and talk about it.. Don't do gas!"

"Huh! Instead of saying thank you even talking about unimportant things rich gini.. You know, if there is no me, how will the fate be rich? Could-can you already in–" Gerutu Erlan with annoyance.

But not finished Erlan grumbled Alicia had already cut off her speech.

"Yes.. Ja.. Thanks"

"What dong said"

Alicia took a deep breath.

'Prophe Alicia' Inner Alicia was trying to strengthen herself.

"hm... Yes, thank you Erlan.." said Alicia later with a sweet smile.

"Well.. That's dong!"

Hm.. Sometimes seeing Erlan's behavior like this makes Alicia a bit upset, but he must admit that Erlan is indeed a good man, he is always there when Alicia needs help.

'Well, but sometimes fussing'

Alicia muttered in her heart.

***

After school.

"l.. Come home with me yuk!"

Take Arka while embracing Alicia's shoulder.

Arka and Alicia had just finished their final subjects today. Alicia who walked in front of Arka immediately turned her head if she got a embrace on her shoulder.

"No! Alicia's coming home with me"

Erlan said while pulling Alicia's hand and making Alicia detach from the embrace of Arka.

"What the hell! I'm the first one who invited Alicia to come home together, why are you following along?!" The Arka protest was upset.

The look in his eyes shone sharply at Erlan. It seemed like Arka really did not like Erlan. There was something between them that made them like cold clams.

"Gue has promised Alicia from yesterday, so I first invite her home together" Denied Erlan relaxed.

"Eh.. I can't do it dong!"

"Can, if I want to"

Seeing her two friends fighting, Alicia spoke up.

"Udah, no! Why are you guys in a fight anyway?! I didn't go home with Erlan, and I didn't go home with Arka, I went home alone to ride an angkot"

Alicia leaves and leaves Erlan and Arka in the corridor.

Erlan and Arka immediately chased after Alicia while continuing to take her home together.

"Alicia.. Come home with me, don't ride the angkot.." Said Arka.

"No Al, you go home with me" Erlan said.

"What the hell? Alicia came home with me"

"Would Alicia be willing?" Ask Erlan.

"Yes, I want to!"

Such was the quarrel that continued all the way to the school gate.

And without them realizing Alicia had gone up the angkot that was waiting for her.

"God! Alicia came home with me! Point!!!!" Arka said.

Without them realizing Alicia had already ridden the question first before their quarrel ended.

before actually stepping foot into the angkot, Alicia had turned around and saw Erlan and Arka were still busy fighting like a child fighting over candy. Alicia just took a breath in response to that.

Arka looks around and realizes Alicia is gone.

"Lho.. Where's alicia?"

Ask the confused Ark.

Erlan lifted next to her lips while answering Arka's question.

"Huh..! Eat that Alicia!"

Erlan left after saying so. While Arka was still standing near the gate while enjoying the roaring misfortune in her chest.

"Oahh!! It's all because of Erlan! "

Shouted Arka annoyed while kicking the new one that was near her feet.

***

"Why the hell non, self-smile?"

Bi Minah asked as she watched Alicia's constantly expanding smile on her pretty face.

"No reason to be bi"

"ah! A timing? If there is nothing non-smiling like that? Hm.. Bibik know this, definitely do not have a girlfriend already?"

"ah! Auntie.. Don't worry, Alicia doesn't have a boyfriend yet"

Tok..! Tok..! Tok..!

Suddenly a sound rattled the door. Alicia immediately stood up from her seat and went towards the front door to knock on the door.

"the arka? How do you know my home? You know where?"

Alicia asks Arka when she finds out her guest is a classmate.

"Lu forgot? I'd never let you come home out of the waterfall"

"Oh.. Yes, forgot. Come on in"

Arka was immediately amazed by the grandeur of Alicia's house which is very luxurious like a royal palace. In the main room there is a chandelier that is so large and luxurious, besides that there are also paintings by world-renowned artists displayed in the living room.

When Arka's eyes throw a glance to the right, there is a TOGA garden that looks green and beautiful. Whoa! This is a very grand house.

"l.. Your house is big too. Luxury again" said Arka as she continued to observe the house.

"Huhahahs.. This is not my house, but a bokap's house" Alicia replied humbly.

"Ah you, it will be your home too"

They walked to the living room. Alicia invites Arka to sit on the sofa after they arrive.

"Please sit down, oh yeah.. What do you want to drink?" ask Alicia.

"What's important is cold"

"Jus wants?"

"That's so"

While waiting for the juice comes Arka also chatted with Alicia.

"l.. Tonight you have a show?" Ask Arka pleasantries.

"Huh?? No, no, why?"

"Gue wants to take a walk"

"Where??"

"Secret dong..."

"Hm.. You can, but don't go home at night.."

"okay"

After making sure that Alicia can be invited to walk tonight, Arka went home to prepare herself.

Not to forget also Arka asked for Alicia's phone number to be easily notified.

"Okay, I'm back, don't forget it's a beautiful dance night" said Arka.

"Yes, see you later"

Arka hurried home riding his motor sport that, he really was impatient waiting for the night to arrive for his first date.

Yep! According to Arka it's a first date.
