“What are you doing here? Outsiders are forbidden to enter here!” ask me after I stand in front of Refald.
“There are two reasons why I can still be allowed to come here. First, because I'm your fiance, even though you still can't admit it. Second..” Refald pulled out a card in his wallet. He showed me the card. “I have this!”
“What is it?” manya curious.
“This is an international nature lovers club member card. I have a high flight time here. Last before I came here last month, I just finished my climb on the top of Mount Everest with ten other professional climbers!” he starts to narcissize his cards.
Unknowingly, my mouth was gaping hearing that Refald was a professional climber. Apparently, he often went hiking too! When compared to me who was an amateur, I lost very far with him.
I remember Eric saying that Refald went up the mountain with him. But I never thought he could make it this far. Being able to climb the highest mountain in the world is the dream of all nature lovers. Not everyone can do it. But Refald can, that means Refald is no ordinary man. He is a class climber.
If everyone here knew it, he would not only be an idol of women, but adam would also affect him. Especially hiking lovers. A real top artist can lose fame with him. I can't imagine if that really happened.
Refald smiled with satisfaction at my expression. He helped me clench my chin with his hand.
“It's too early to be fascinated with me. You'll fall more and more in love with me if you find out who I really am. Let's go over there! I brought a lot of food for all of you!” he said while passing before me.
I can't believe this. How can ... him ...
“Time for dinner! I brought a lot of food for all of you here!” his yell.
All eyes were on Refald, many curious about Refald's sudden kindness. But also not a few who like his arrival because he brought a lot of food without having to pay a free alias.
From a distance I saw some people coming carrying a lot of red packets containing rice boxes. Those people seemed to be food couriers ordered directly by Refald.
As soon as the food arrived, all the members of nature lovers cheered. They were very pleased with the kindness of Refald who was willing to order food for all of them. They did not know who Rebald was. Refald divided all the boxed rice into each of the members who were here with nothing to miss.
Actually, I still don't believe in all these new sights. Again, Refald surprised me. In an instant Refald came and enlivened the atmosphere. He was very easy to get along with and get along with them all. Unlike me, it took me a few months to get closer to my fellow organizational members, including my seniors.
In my heart, I admire him. Refald is cool.
Refald called me and told him to come gather with him. At first I refused but he immediately approached me and grabbed my arm to follow him mingling with the others. Inevitably, I had to obey his will.
We all sat in front of the campfire enjoying the food that Refald had brought us. Refald thrust one of the rice boxes at me and told me to eat it.
In front of everyone, he showed too much attention in my opinion. So that we both immediately became the center of attention beat the rating of the other couple hits.
“If you don't want to, I can bribe you!” those words sound romantic, but there's a threat in them.
“Thank you. I can eat by myself!” rather than Refald bribing me, it would be better to obey his threat.
One of the seniors watching us asked, What does Refald have to do with me. Because from then on, Refald just looked at me and stuck to me like a sticky stamp.
True, most of the students here are alumni, and there are only one or two seniors in our school. It's only natural that not many know what my relationship with Refald is.
Since no one would answer him, Rebald himself explained. I want to open my voice but Refald's holding me back.
“I am his fiancee!” everyone was shocked, including me. Some of them even choke.
“What?” Ask one of the seniors whom I forgot his name. “You're engaged? But... I've never seen Fey with anyone? Moreover, wearing an engagement ring since he joined this organization!”
"I've never heard of this quiet girl going out?" the other comment.
"How can he get engaged while his girlfriend's only he doesn't have?" add another one.
"And I put him on my girlfriend's list. But it turns out he was engaged. Where his fiancee is handsome again. I lost in a landslide" said someone I did not know his name in a sad tone as if heartbroken.
"I retreat alon-alon mergo aware I'm sopo ... (I retreated slowly because I realized who I was..)!" someone else sang the song to his heartbroken friend.
He sang his song expressionlessly and rubbed his friend's back so that his friend was patient and aware of his condition. But, what is worse is that the person's voice sounds painful to the ear aka not nice to hear.
"Stop singing, you idiot!" yoshi yelled as he snapped at the head of his friend who was still singing. "You're making our ears go bad!"
The person who was singing was silent. While others hold back laughing at the silly behavior of his colleagues who passed over.
Refald pulled out a necklace that turned out to be our engagement ring that I had given my brother so he could return the ring if he ever met Refald. I didn't think the ring was on him.
So all this time, he always took her? And I never know?
Refald hooked the two rings on his necklace and showed them to everyone here as proof that we had been engaged since we were kids.
“In the meantime, I brought him, because he was afraid of eliminating him!” Refald explained and looked at me while blinking one of his eyes.
I know Refald lied. The reality is I purposely returned the ring to her. Although not directly.
But I can't argue with him to tell the truth either. It could be bad until they all know who I am. Even they would turn around to accuse me, not if I opened my mouth and told him that Refald was lying.
It seems, the best way for now is to just be quiet. And follow Refald's game.
Surprisingly, all immediately believed Refald's statement without commenting anything. It seems like they quickly understood and understood our relationship.
I should have been upset to hear this natural-looking Refald lie. I don't know why I feel entertained.
I let Refald do whatever he wanted to do to address some questions from seniors who were still curious about our relationship. Surprisingly Refald did not boast of who he really was in front of my seniors that he was an international climber like he did to me.
Maybe he didn't want anyone to know who he was, and just wanted to show me off. Because all this time, Refald was just a narcissist in front of me. While in front of others, he tends to be cold and indifferent. There are a lot of girls chasing him.
The fact that the popular guy at my school turned out to be also my fiancee, was stressful to me. Pretending to be his girlfriend has made my life difficult. Especially her fiance.
I started thinking about what Dad said at the time. It's probably true that Refald only loved me, so he wasn't interested in any girl who liked him. He was trying to be loyal to me. But right now, I still can't decide how I feel about her.
“When will you leave here?” I asked when the atmosphere began to quiet and everyone went to their tents. Only a few people still live because they get a night watch turn.
“Tomorrow!”
“What? You mean, you want to spend the night here?”
Refald nodded. His expression was very calm while staring at the bonfire in front of us.
“Sorry! If it interrupts your conversation! Refald.... do you want to sleep together in our tent?” ask my senior named Alex. He is one of the alumni of gondrong kribo-haired vocalist Nidji who served as the leader of the night guard while here.
“Thank you for the offer!” refald replied with a smile. ”But I will stay here along with others to accompany and help you guys keep watch.”
“You sure?”
“Don't sneak into Fey's tent while we're off guard huh...” tease Yoshi.
“We will keep an eye on you!” add another senior.
“Quiet it!” Refald stood up smiling. “While we are engaged, we know the limits. Still too soon to do that. If I really wanted to do it, I would choose a place that is more romantic and quiet than here!”
“Ciyeeeee... I can't wait for your invitation!”.
“Means you two are still high, huh?”
“Don't forget to invite us all later!”
"Wahhh.After a while someone wants to split duren...WHOAUWWW! Who else is the head man, huh?"
"Me! You're noisy!"
The others followed the head of one of my seniors who was named Yuda.
My face flushed at the comments of my seniors who deliberately teased us as a result of Refald's rather intimate words.
“Have it, don't tease them, there's a face like a tomato!” yoshi.
“True too!” said Alex who was watching me, and I immediately turned away from the sight of all my seniors. “Alright, we'll deal with it first. I'll leave you here while you're here. When you're done, you come with me. We'll start walking around for a while,” he told Refald.
“We'd better split up first, just let them here enjoy a nice night together. Why did you ruin their show. When else could they enjoy this cold night together. After all, tomorrow there is no time for the two of them,” said Yoshi. While others, still trying to tease us.
They all stood up and laughed together as they passed to wander around the location leaving the two of us. I quietly lowered my shame. I don't know what happened to my face. Is it really that red?
“Don't listen to them! They're just teasing us!”
“This is whose fault?”
Refald laughs. “This is my fault. You better get in your tent. It's already night. There are a lot of activities you have to do tomorrow. You have to take a lot of breaks to save energy.”
I stared at Refald, there were so many questions I wanted to ask him. I want to tell him something too.
“For that time ...” Refald turned his head towards me as I started talking to him. “Maybe you're right, our meeting seems destined. But, I still haven't forgiven you for lying to me so much.”
“I know, I don't ask you to forgive me right now either. But, I just want you to allow me to always be around you. Because I don't want to leave you again. Think of it as my own redemption first.”
I was a little touched by Refald's words. He was not entirely guilty, but he intended to make amends. I noticed the wound on his hand that was still wrapped in bandages.
“How about your wound?”
Refald looked at his hand. “Besok bandannya new will open.”
“Is the wound really healing?”
“Why? Are you worried about having a disabled fiance?”
“Don't start again! I don't want to fight here.”
Refald pulled my hand until I stood up. “You better rest. I'll take you to the tent.”
I took my hand out of his hand. “I can go to my own tent. No need to deliver!”
I was in vain to rebel. Refald kept pulling my hand up in front of the tent.
“It's here! Login!”
I was a little angry because of his attitude that likes to force others according to his own will. But that was the nature of Refald, how else. No one could resist what Refald wanted.
I wondered if I would go in. I looked at Refald who was still looking at me.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” for a long time I was worried about her eyes too.
“Why? You want me to come in too?”
“You can be beaten all out by them if you dare to do that!”
“Quick login!” he doesn't care about my threats at all. “I'll stay by your side. I promised you. Don't worry about me. I'll stay close to you. Call me if you need anything.”
Refald left me. But I reflexively clasped his arm. I woke up and immediately released the arm.
“What's up?” tanya's a little worried about me. “Is there anything that gets in your head?”
I doubt again, “Actually .. There are so many things I want to ask you, but I don't know where to start.”
Refald looked at me gently and grabbed my hand and held it tightly. “From now on, we have plenty of time together. You can ask me anything later, but it doesn't have to be today, okay? Tonight you have to rest.”
“You sure?”
“Of course. From now on I'm only there for you. I will always protect and protect you, no matter what. Even if destiny tries to separate us. I can definitely find you again.”
“Don't be a romantic snob in front of me! You really make me want to puke!”
“It will be troublesome then!”
“What do you mean?”
“If you vomit here. They all thought you were pregnant!”
“What? You're crazy!” my yelling.
Refald laughed loudly. I almost wanted to stuff his mouth with a tree branch so upset.
He retreated waving his hand while saying, “Good sleep! May you dream of me, bye!” he left just like that to the crowd of alumni who were on guard.
I was so upset with the way he was joking with me. But I'm also very happy because Refald said he'll always be there for me. I get confused about my own feelings, do I hate them or do I like them? And it seems, this love of mine overcame my hatred for her.
