I'm Not a High School Boy
Chapter 61: Welcome Back

Gisel's breathing returned irregular to hear the news from his papa. He can't take it. He wants to prove it himself. He could only believe it if he saw it for himself.

"Where is he? I want to see it for myself."

His mind was already very muddled imagining what would happen to Rey. He had already started thinking about the worst that might happen to Rey. Her tears were now coming down along with each time she thought of those possibilities.

Gisel kept trying to lift his weak leg to get off his bed, though his mom and dad repeatedly held him back. He didn't care anymore if he had to crawl. All she thought about now was that she wanted to see Rey. She had thought, if Rey was unconscious, she would keep yelling to call Rey until the man woke up.

"He has promised not to let himself get hurt" Gisel shouted in the end.

Mama and her father could now only be silent to see Gisel sitting silent without rebelling again. They only looked at him anxiously and prepared if Gisel returned to fight.

"I knew you would be like this. Fortunately I'm here."

Gisel knew whose voice it was. But his head was still down. He doesn't want to see it. Just hearing it was enough to give her an idea that Rey was fine. His head was getting bowed hiding his increasingly rushing tears.

Rey walked with a limped step closer to Gisel. Mama Gisel who was beside him now stood up and let Rey take turns sitting next to Gisel. But, the man instead took the bench that was in front of Gisel, then brought it closer to the girl.

"Let me see that this is really you, Gi," Rey said, raising Gisel's face with both hands. But Gisel refused.

She remained downcast with tears that were now soaking Rey's hands. Gisel was sure that Rey now knew that she was crying at this moment. Gisel doesn't care anymore.

"Come, Gi. I know you want to see me. I want to see you too. I want to make sure you're really back" Rey persuaded.

Gisel this time followed the direction of Rey's hand that raised her face. Slowly, he could see the man's face which left many wounds.

Rey's fingers began to tidy up Gisel's hair covering her face. He then wiped Gisel's tears gently. Lastly, she smiled as she said, "Welcome back, my Gisella."

Rey brought her forehead closer to Gisel's forehead. He again said in a soft voice, "Thank you you're back, Gi. Thank you." Thank you."

Gisel felt his tears could no longer be held back. The more he felt those tears coming down his face. Whether it was the happiness that he had returned or Rey who was fine, all of that made him feel a huge happiness to the fullness of his taste in his chest. So, it is not surprising anymore if the tears are getting louder.

"Which ... is injured?," asked Gisel suddenly.

Rey stretched her arms. He showed his arm wrapped in bandages. This time, Gisel could see it clearly.

"The bodyguard holding the gun fell down, the gun went down. Rafael caught the gun. He then pointed it at me. Dor's! Get hit right here" Rey said, pointing proudly at her right arm. It was like he was showing his pride. "Just a little, the bullet just grazed."

"Luckily, another team came, and immediately secured Rafael," Rey told reporters.

But, then ...

"Akh ... Gi ...," Rey groaned withstanding the pain on her left chest.

Gisel had apparently just slapped his hand on his left chest. Rey also complained of pain.

"You said he wouldn't be able to touch you. But you're still hurt." Gisel glared at Rey sharply. Rey who had gotten the attack immediately reacted in pain.

"Akh .. felt up to here, Gi," said Rey reasoned as she continued to hold his left arm.

Gisel beat him again. This time Rey caught his hand. Gisel glared at him even more.

"You promised him he wouldn't hurt you. But now you're hurt because of Rafael. Where is he now?"

"Quiet, Gi ..." Satrio who had followed Rey from his room, trying to keep Rey there, finally followed Rey to Gisel's room, until finally waiting outside to see the two let go of their longing.

"Rafael has been overcome. He is now secured at the police station. I've assigned a team of lawyers to take care of it" Satrio continued. He greeted Papa Gisel whom he had known for a long time.

Gisel looked at Rey as if he was asking her. Rey smiled at Gisel, then nodded her head.

"Hmm .. You focus on your health. The doctor said you have not fully recovered. Since you're recovering from a long coma, some of your limbs aren't functioning perfectly. So, you need time to be able to recover everything" Rey explained.

Gisel looked at him in wonder. "Where do you know that much?" he asked.

"I've been asking a lot of questions while you were in a coma, Gi. How's it? Awesome, right?" Rey prides herself in front of Gisel. She is styled with confidence because she feels she has managed to charm Gisel.

Gisel hits Rey's left arm. "Our business is not finished yet, Rey," said Gisel.

"Rafael is cheating, Gi. He's got a gun. We should have fought without weapons" Rey caught Gisel's punch.

"Not an excuse! I trust you to avenge me. But, you're hurt instead? Or maybe you really can't beat Rafael. Aye, right?"

"It's not so, Gi. He's got a gun. You know it's cheating. How can I fight a firearm?"

While Gisel and Rey were arguing like cats and rats, the three people who had noticed the quarrel were slowly moving out of the room. A smile on their faces could signal that Gisel or Rey will be fine.

The quarrels they were having were the usual fights. Therefore, they let the two of them reveal everything, just the two, in the room.

Just as Satrio was the last person to come out of the room, Rey's hand grabbed Gisel's face. Not caring about Gisel who just keeps babbling. She held him back so that Gisel's face remained facing her. And what happened next was something Gisel had never imagined before.

Not not brave, but not brave. Gisel never dared to imagine there would be a day when Rey's lips and hers would touch each other like this. It all happened so fast, it was too hard for him to believe. Even Gisel did not dare to close those two eyes.

It was like the long minutes Gisel felt Rey's breath touch his skin. Time seemed to stop long enough that he did not dare to move for fear that time would turn back.

One move he noticed was that he blinked both eyes, and right at that moment Rey removed her lips from Gisel's sweet lips.

Rey's hand was still leaning on one side of Gisel's face, rubbing gently with her thumb. In a soft tone, Rey said, "You don't know how long I've been holding this. Since you were Kanaya. I keep waiting for the moment you'll be back, Gi."

Rey's face was very close in front of her eyes. Less than an inch, even Gisel could still feel Rey's breath coming out of her lips every time the man spoke. There was no other sight he could see, other than noticing Rey's lip movements saying words that only just now sounded sweet in Gisel's ears.

Either because of the sound of Gisel's heart beating is not controlled or the atmosphere formed because of Rey's action. Gisel now moves his arm to grab Rey's face. This time, Gisel brought his lips closer to Rey's.

Quickly, and without any more offers, Rey immediately greeted the lips and melu matnya quite deep. Gisel drifts in each of his mounds. Like intoxicating liquor, Gisel seemed not to want to be separated from the pagutan.
