I Travel, I Love
PROPOSALS

Lynn ends up paying for the food Giovan ordered. He was forced to eat it because he could not leave the food alone and untouched while he had to pay for it.

Lynn stuffed the food into her mouth little by little until it ran out. His stomach was full, making it a little difficult to walk. He was forced to find a taxi because if he kept forcing his way, the food would come straight out of his mouth.

Arriving at the hotel lobby, Lynn sat her body on one of the lobby sofas. He had to slightly lower the food that all felt still in the throat.

After 5 minutes, he saw Giovan. He squinted his eyes slightly and knitted his eyebrows together to make sure that what he saw was not wrong. When he was sure,

"Abass!!" Lynn immediately ran up to Giovan and then climbed onto his back.

"You're infuriating! You can usually leave me there, even I have to eat up your order, even pay for it too" Lynn said annoyed.

"Down!!" giovan's shout arrived, making Lynn shocked because she had never heard Giovan scream. He could also see the unusual look on Giovan's face.

Giovan took out his wallet and gave some Australian dollars to Lynn, "this is your money. Don't bother me!"

Giovan immediately left Lynn in the lobby and became the center of attention. They stared cynically at Lynn who had just received a few pieces of money in her hand.

He put the money in his pocket and walked to the elevator, to his room.

*****

Giovan came in and slammed the door of his hotel room. At this time his mood is not good.Negatan togetherness between Darren and Alexa makes him angry and envious.

He opened all the clothes that were attached to his body and then went into the bathroom. He positioned himself under the shower and began to open the shower faucet.

Letting his body get wet, he pulled his hair back and rubbed his face with water. He laughed at himself, then hit the wall of the shower area as if to vent his frustration.

"Alexaahoo!!!" his yell.

While Lynn actually laid her body on the bed. He closed his eyes, but he still imagined the look on Giovan's face that was so cold to him, even screaming in front of his face.

Why Lynn's tears just flowed, there was pain in her chest. He was never yelled at like that, even when his parents were angry because he did something far from their expectations.

Without changing her clothes, Lynn went into the blanket and covered her entire body to the head. It takes time to be Lynn as she was.

*****

tokk tokkk ...

Giovan knocked on Lynn's bedroom door. But there is absolutely no truth from within.

"Mir, Mir!"

Lynn was standing right behind the door. He wanted to open it but there was still a bit of heartache from Giovan snapping at him.

"Tock it up calluses, bitch! I'd better get some sleep!" Lynn goes back to the bed and leaves Giovan.

"Mir, don't you want to eat?" ask Giovan. Lynn who has been full since noon of course does not want to eat anything anymore. He breathed slowly.

Giovan finally leaves Lynn's room door. He went on his own to the place where he was going to have dinner with Alexa and his friends.

*****

"Al!" call Sisca, Alexa's best friend.

"You've been squirming out all the time. Who else is waiting for?" ask Sisca curiously.

"Ooo, I'm waiting for Giovan's sister" replied Alexa.

"Sister Giovan is here?" sisca asked again, clenching her hands together in front of her chest.

"Hmm," Alexa looked back out. He smiled when he saw Giovan had come. He immediately approached Giovan and slipped his hand on Giovan's elbow.

"Sister came too. I almost thought my brother didn't keep his word" Alexa said.

"Hello brother! I'm Sisca, Fransisca Leora," Sisca thrust out her hand. He often saw Giovan in photos on Alexa's phone. Alexa photos together with big family and friends.

"Hmm," Giovan only smiled faintly without welcoming Sisca's hand. Of course it pisses him off. However, it made him even more eager to conquer Giovan.

"Darling, can we get started?" Darren comes and immediately embraces Alexa possessively. It made Giovan clench his hands, but he did not show his frustration.

"Yes, come on, brother!" they sat at several tables, due to their holiday event to Perth along with Alexa's other friend and friend Darren's friend.

Sisca immediately took a seat right next to Giovan, while Alexa and Darren sat in front of them.

"When are you on vacation?" ask Giovan.

"Tomorrow I'll be back, will you want to come home with us?" ask Alexa.

"No. There's still a lot of work to be done here."

"Hmm, well then," they continued the dinner while talking and joking, but Giovan's face was flat. He smiled at Alexa.

The music that was originally loud has now changed. The cafe lights were turned off and a searchlight was now directed at Darren who was kneeling.

"Alexa, You are the best part of my life. I want to be with you forever. Will you marry me?" Darren pulled out a small box from his pocket and looked up at Alexa who was smiling while covering her mouth with both hands.

"Marry me, Alexa .. my sweetheart," Alexa nodded her head and Darren inserted the ring into Alexa's finger as a sign of acceptance of the proposal.

A loud applause filled the cafe. Darren immediately hugged and kissed Alexa's forehead, "I love you, baby."

"I love you too" Alexa replied.

Everything that happened before him made his heart even more painful. Harboring her feelings of love and now having to witness for yourself how her first love was proposed by another man, is very very painful.

"I went back to the hotel first, Al," said Giovan.

"Why is my brother back now? We're gonna have another party. Look, Brother. Darren proposed to me, "Axa with a smile on her face, showing a ring that has now been beautifully coiled on her finger.

"Tomorrow I have a morning meeting" replied Giovan reasoned. He didn't want to be there any longer because his heart was hurting. Wounded but not bleeding.

"All right, I'll see you later, brother. Don't forget I want you to come to my wedding."

"Hmm," Giovan nodded then left the cafe feeling muddled and shattered.
