I'm Just a Figurant
Ch 19 - Come Home

I hate Alex! I hate the change! He's not the Alex I know.

The shadow of Alex kissing with Briana flashed through my mind. Remembering that made me even more upset with that guy.

How could Alex kiss Briana?! Didn't Alex not like him? Did breaking up with Diana make her accept Briana? But why Briana? Are there no other good women?

And also, why would they kiss like that? His kiss was disgusting. Their bodies clung very tightly, while Alex's hands crept along Briana's body. Remembering that makes me sick.

Alex wasn't like that when she kissed Diana. They both look like a pair of teenagers in general. Kissing worthily. But what he saw this time was completely different. He doesn't look like the Alex he knows. Alex has changed!

Alex smokes, looks disheveled, likes to change girlfriends and kiss like an adult. Does this change have anything to do with Diana?

That day I really did not concentrate on studying. Fortunately the teacher told us to study on our own so that my mind was free to wander at will.

The lesson hour ends when the time is one o'clock at noon. I picked up my bike in the parking lot and started to lead him to the highway. My mind wanders everywhere.

"Hey chick, I'm a dong." Suddenly Alex came and walked beside me.

I was so upset to see his face. Especially considering what he did last afternoon. I want to feel like I'm pinching his face with this hand.

I gripped my bike firmly. Imagine being crept in Alex's face. So upset!!

"Khanzaa... Sweet... Look here dong." Since when did Alex become this powerful?! I threw away my face. Very upset to see it.

"When do you want to snack like that? Aye, yes... I'm sorry. Sorry for making your holy eyes see that scene..."

I wouldn't be this sorry if that perverted kisser wasn't you!! I'm upset because you did it! Do you understand how I feel?! Rather than seeing you kissing such an obscure woman, I would rather send you back with Diana!! Because only Diana is worth it to you! You stupid Alex!!

Wanted me to scream like that in his ear. To wake up a fool who is losing direction. What exactly happened to them? Why did they break up?

I stopped my steps and looked at Alex fiercely.

"Explain to me." I'm suing you.

"Explain what?" ask Alex with a naughty smile. He did not take my words seriously.

"Explain why you did it!"

"did it? Meaning kiss? Yeah 'cause I want to, hehe." Alex replied with a stupid smile on his face. I want to slap her head so she wakes up and becomes the usual Alex.

"If you still want to be friends with me, I'll give you time."

"Hey little girl, why be so serious like this? Not funny." aah." Alex pulled my hairpin. I brushed his hand away fiercely.

"I'm not a little girl. We are only one year old. Don't be so grown-up. Explain to me everything." I'm persisting.

"What to explain? I already said, I did it because I wanted to. Never mind, let's go home. I'll drive you..."

"No need!!" I got on the bike and got ready to pedal, but it turned out that Alex pulled the back of my bike, leaving me nowhere.

"Please!! I'm going home!"

"Hey why are you angry? Come with me first." Alex pulled my hand, made me get off the bike and took me to the little alley that was there.

"Why angry? Upset I kissed? Want me to kiss you too?" Alex drew his face closer. I hate to see Alex like this. I pat Alex on the face with both hands.

"I hate!!"

"Yes!! I hate Alex now!! I hate!! Lepassin! I'm going home!"Alex clipped my body so that my body was squeezed between his hands.

"Why hate? I'm still the old Alex. I'm Alex your friend..."

"No!! You're not my friend! My friend is not like this! No smoking! No changing girlfriends! No such perverted kiss! You're not my friend!" I pushed Alex's body so hard that the man's body was pushed back. I used that opportunity to run towards my bike.

Then I pedaled fast. Tears flooded my cheeks. You stupid Alex!!

L like it. Really liked it. I don't expect my feelings to be reciprocated. I was quite satisfied just by looking at Alex. Even if Alex was with Diana, it was natural. They are a matching couple. They were together before I knew him. But now what?! Alex has really changed. I don't like the change!

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Nold, Nduk? Already sleeping? Your friend is coming." I heard Dad knocking on my door.

"Not Yeah." I opened the door to the room. "Who's Dad?"

"Dad doesn't know either. Let's see for yourself."

I wonder, who's coming night-night? As I recall my close friends are only Junior High and I have not communicated with them for a long time.

Without changing my clothes to the front of the house. At first I couldn't guess who came, because he was standing behind me. But as soon as I saw the motor parked in the yard, I knew who was coming.

"Alex?" And the man turned around. His face looks messed up. He smiled at me. There was no joy as I had seen before.

"Khanza... Any second?" Alex's eyes looked desperate. I saw a clock on the wall. Time still shows at half-eight in the evening.

Looks like Alex really needs someone. He looked fragile and desperate.

Without answering Alex's question, I went inside the house. Ask my father for permission and change his clothes.

Then I went back to the front of the house and was followed by my father behind me.

"Don't go home at night. Don't take me everywhere, Daddy's girl." Dad paused for a moment and watched Alex from top to bottom. "What's your name? Where's yourhome? Is there a home number you can call?" Dad asked in succession. Just make me ashamed.

Alex came closer and took my father's hand. He kissed my father's hand.

"My name is Alex Sir. I'm a schoolmate of Khansa's. My house in Mojopahit housing No. 12, house number (03xx)456789. HP number 0812345678x."

"Don't night-night. At nine o'clock you have to take him home. More than that, I called your parents."

"Good Sir." Alex seemed very polite. I am so ashamed of my father's attitude. My father was usually very democratic about things. It rarely dictates to me to do this. But at the moment it seems like instinct as a parent who has a working girl.

"Well, Khansa came out first. Before nine o'clock is back home."

"Yes Nduk, be careful. Bring this." Bring it." Dad put something in my bag. Suddenly my bag became heavy. I peeked at what it contained and it turned out to be a rock!!

Did you tell me to hit people's children with a rock? Ckckck...

At last that night we both went. Whether Alex would take me anywhere, I just resigned. Actually I'm still upset with Alex. But seeing the look on my sad and desperate face made my frustration disappear.
