I Am Not Cruel Girl
The Kind of Eliot

“Not me the bad one, Eliot ..he the bad one ...” Unknowingly, Yara hugs Eliot, her tears spilling out as she remembers Ezio snapping at her, defending Sekar in front of everyone, making herself seem like the worst girl in the world. He recalled Sekar with his deliberate slanted smile, provoking stupid emotions he could not control and making himself torture the girl.

He remembered when his father, who lost two hundred billion and claimed to be a foolish son, a dissident, and a thief only because of the work of Sekar. Yara hates Sekar. He hated everyone who excommunicated and treated himself like a monster just because of his antagonistic attitude.

After forbidding Eliot to leave, the girl immediately cried and muttered incoherently which made Eliot stroke her shoulder.

Now Yara hugged Eliot even more tightly even though Eliot was only a stranger who still did not know the bad himself. Yara felt Eliot had known her for a long time. Eliot hugged the girl warm, trying to calm her down. His heart ached to see the girl he loved crying.

“Eliot ...,” call Yara on the sidelines of her crying. “Lo will make me evil too?” Eliot immediately looked at the girl's face that looked gloomy. He shook his head.

“Sstt .. Whatever lo in my eyes will never be evil. Lo is a good girl, Yara. If everyone thought you were evil, from now on there will be me. I am the one who will protect lo.” After that word, Yara was stunned. She stopped her crying, stretched her arms from Eliot, trying to calm herself down when she realized something. Honestly, she was ashamed to cry in front of Eliot.

He stared right at Eliot's bead.

“Why should you protect me?” Eliot did not answer.

Because I loved it from the old days!

“We ‘kan only strangers who just met?” ask Yara again. Eliot took Yara's hand for her to hold tightly. He also looked at the girl right in his eyes. It hurts when the person he likes does not know him at all, even though he has known him for a long time. Perhaps this is partly Eliot's stupidity because he just dared to approach the girl now.

“Gue has known you for a long time, Seiyara Zephyre.” Yara rubbed her eyes. Didn't expect the guy in front of him to mention his full name. “Lo don't want me first?”

Yara immediately pulled her hand from Eliot's grasp and Eliot saw that. Yara shook her head. He had known for a long time that Eliot was a barista or waitress of a Mars cafe that he only knew his name, and he did not understand Eliot's intentions. Honestly, the girl shook her head.

Eliot smiled. “Kalo not missed means not important.”

Yara frowned. “Means?”

“Lupain aja.” Eliot smiled at Yara. “Whatever important you need, I'm ready for you. I wouldn't consider you evil like people, Ra.”

The smile was then returned a smile by Yara. Calmness flowed all over his body. “Still, Eliot.” Eliot's heart pounded again upon seeing that rare smile. The words of gratitude that he knew were unusual for Yara to say to others, feeling that now she took some important people in Yara's life.

“Oh yes, a few days ago I found you in the cafe, said Ocong lonya no.”

“What?” Eliot just found out about it. Even so, his heart was already blossoming as he knew Yara was looking for him.

“Kata Mas-mas there lo again no family business?”

“Ah, yes! Lo ... why find me?” Eliot was curious.

Yara sighed with a disappointed expression. “Well, I don't bring anything now. At that time I brought you a cake for thanks because I was willing to climb the wall me malem-malem to make me excited. Thanks ya!”

Now, Eliot is confused by Yara's words. “Semangatin lo? Malem-malem?”

“Yes, you love me that box and tell me to find Rihanna's song, ‘kan?” Yara laughing. “Lo funny know!”

“Lo no need to snack, anyway thanks!” cut Yara with a cheerful smile that she rarely takes out. Eliot nodded knowing that smile even though he did not understand what was really going on. Because Yara doesn't cry like that.

Actually it is not easy for Yara to adapt to new people, it's just that Eliot's attitude that feels comfortable and understanding makes her not reluctant to let out all complaints and what she wants. Eliot treated her like a princess, whatever she needed was always Eliot, a treatment that Yara never felt from a man.

This is her second day in hospital. The doctor has not allowed her to go home. Eliot still faithfully accompanied the girl to walk around the house.

“By my temenin to the hospital rooftop?”

“As long as I carry lo!” eliot's words made Yara look at him dislike.

“Gue can walk by yourself times!” He wanted to climb the stairs, but his hand was immediately blocked by Eliot.

“Can't! You haven't been strong up the stairs, Ra!” disallow.

“But I want to go to rooftop! I want to get some air! It feels tight!” Yara muscled wanting to immediately go up even with a slightly weak body. Eliot just carried the skinny body of the girl up the rooftop stairs. Yara widened her eyes, speechless. This is the first time he's been held by a guy.

To the extreme, he could feel Eliot's heartbeat as his head stuck to the man's chest. When he reached the roftoop, Eliot carefully lowered it. The two are silent. Eliot tried to relieve his heartbeat, while Yara looked at him expressionlessly.

Eliot is completely prepared if the girl will be angry, scold him, or hate him for carrying him without permission. In fact Yara's flat expression was now a small laugh. “Lo funny deh.”

Eliot's heart warmed to hear that. He was glued to the spot and smiled faintly. Now he saw Yara running towards the rooftop barrier, breathing her husky air. Eliot followed him, looking at the beautiful face that was swept by the wind.

“Gue likes rooftop,” chirps Yara suddenly. “Ezio also likes rooftop.”

Hearing that name, Eliot's ears were hot.

“When Ezio is down, he will take me to the rooftop. Rooftop has a lot of memories with Ezio.” However, instantly the look of his face turned into a wistful. “Kalo I can, I want to hate rooftop because of Ezio. I want to forget Ezio and throw it away from my life. But from the first in fact only this place can make me calm.”

Eliot was silent hearing that. He wants to get angry when Yara calls Ezio again, but he realizes he is not yet Yara.

Yara again breathed in some fresh air, staring at the clouds that were looking around indeed moving. He smiles.

A notification rang from Eliot's pants pocket. Eliot opened the message on his phone. A smile was etched on his lips. Yara can catch that. “Why?”

Eliot just shook his head and put his phone back in his pocket. “Gak papa,” his answer is still punctuated by a smile that bore a question mark on Yara's head.
