Episode 173: Turning Awkward
A cold day where people are filling their vacation time with fun. We were at the restaurant to rest for a while while filling our stomachs. Meanwhile, Cassie and I who met each other without thinking it was silent for a moment before Cassie finally walked away leaving me feeling awkward.
“M—Sorry... I first..” said nervously who then walked while looking down and covered his face from me.
“I—Iya..” reply to me while looking at him who is away from me. My head is full of thoughts about him. Guiltfully I wanted to go to him, but somehow my body did not say the same.
“K—You should be..kata...” my murmur is trying to move my legs. My chest felt so tight and my heart was beating so fast. I who had forced myself became exhausted and very upset with myself. I hit the wall with an irregular breath.
“Adelard fool!” my regrets. I walked into the toilet without noticing my steps. My gaze felt empty with a mind that kept being imagined by him.
“Aw!” yelled at the women who turned out I was in the wrong toilet. I jumped in shock and rushed straight out.
“M—Sorry! I got in wrong!” lontark. I ran towards the male toilet and closed the bulkhead door tightly.
“Huft... What do you think?” penetrahku.
After returning from the toilet, I saw my friends waiting outside the restaurant. I saw the dining table where we had a clean and tidy lunch back. Cassie who was just silent listening to their chatter all. His face looked worried and sad. When I opened the door to the restaurant, they all looked at me.
“Again, yes..” chirped Rhean.
“Sorry.. It was quite crowded,” reply me whinyesan.
“Oh? Is that so? My feelings inside the restaurant are not that crowded,” continued Gavin confusion.
“Very crowded to forget to close the stall,” cetus Gandra towards me. I lowered my head and checked my pants, which without me noticing, turned out to be wide open. I was so ashamed of them half-dead.
“M—I'm sorry!” lontarku was nervous as he closed it quickly.
“You're all there, yes!” sahut Bella laughs.
We continued the activity by going back to having fun and skating together. Throughout that togetherness, Cassie and I seemed to have a separation wall that blocked us. Until the evening came, we had not spoken to each other and continued to look away from each other. In the end the sky began to darken with the sun that had just been hiding from behind the horizon. All visitors one by one began to leave this tourist spot.
“Wuah! Long day!” lontar Bella happy.
“We only ski, you know,” said Rhean confusion.
“But so exciting until you forget the time,” continued Bella.
“Added there were many unexpected events happening today,” he added smiling as he looked at my face. I who was ashamed turned my face away from her.
“Do not see me!”
“You are very different today, Adelard,” Gavin said.
“B—Different? A—I'm mediocre, kok,” reply I'm nervous.
“Tuh, from the way you speak has been found out,” Rein continued.
“Cause of the incident earlier this afternoon, yes?” chirping Gandra.
“T—Of course not!” I was angry with him. Gandra chuckled at me who was ashamed like a dog with a tail. Cassie, who heard it, had a red face and felt very embarrassed.
“Already, already... Is there any other place you want to visit? Or directly back?” ask Rein to us.
“It seems like just go home, we rest and then continue tomorrow,” replied Gavin and the others agreed with him.
Arriving at the villa, we prepared dinner in the living room together. When all the dishes were ready, we occupied the chairs that were located around a square table with two chairs on each side. I sat next to Rein and Cassie was with Gavin. We ate the food while chatting together. However, I was facing Cassie directly makes me very nervous and not much.
“You're quiet, Adelard?” chirp Rhean is confused.
“Oi, didn't you hear?” Icha towards me. I who just realized instantly made me choke and cough. I patted my chest so as not to choke again. Everyone turned to me, including Cassie, while Rein gave me a glass of water in front of me.
“This...” I immediately sipped the drinking water until it ran out. After that I was silent while taking a deep breath.
“You're why, anyway?” bella asked curiously and it irritated her.
“A—A—I'm fine,” reply me a wave while swinging the palms to the right and left. Just as Cassie and I stared at each other spontaneously, we both looked down. Cassie quickly finished the food. Very few parts make it can be completed in a short time.
“Why do you look relieved after she leaves?”
“Ah! T—No! I'm just spiciness,” I replied grinningly. Gandra looked at me suspiciously for a moment and then resumed his meal.
After eating, we did our own thing. I, who did not know what to do, went to the room. I sat on the bed looking at the sky from behind the window. Not long after, Gandra came in and saw me speechless. He became confused about me who did not look like usual.
“Are you thinking of something?” ask Gandra while changing into a nightgown.
“Yah... That's how..” blow me with a gaze towards the window. He went to the bed and lay there with his eyes up and his hands up.
“Do not want a story?” abugn.
“You want to hear it?” I continued with a sad face.
“Why not? Relax, you know who I am, right?” smile next.
“Ya, I know.. But..” said I was worried.
“You must be confused, right?”
“How do you know?”
“Everyone can see your face it.” I was silent for a moment with my head down.
“You know what happened this afternoon, right?” my toilet.
“Sure, everyone also saw.”
“I feel very guilty to him about it..”.
“You're quite sorry to him, right?”
“But... It's hard to do it.”.
“What hindered you for that?” ask Gandra curiously.
“Entahlah... My chest feels tight and my heart feels like it wants to be dislodged,” I replied. He smiled at my question.
“Then?”
“I also did not dare to meet him, even to see him alone has made me embarrassed.”
“You felt all of that instantly at the same time?”
“Iya.. After the incident instantly it all haunts me..”.
“Alright, I understand your situation,” he said as he sat down.
“E—Eh? You mean?” I was confused while looking at him.
“Do I need to say it?” his reply.
“Ti—No need! At least I have to act a little mature..” continued my gaze which then silently pensive. Meanwhile, Gavin was passing through my room with the door open.
“Tomorrow, I must speak to Cassie.. Whatever the result..” my murmur unbeknownst to us was clearly heard by Gavin.
“You haven't apologized to him?” lontar Gavin was surprised. We immediately flinched in shock and turned towards him. I asked Gandra with a panicked face and mixed feelings.
“You didn't close the door from earlier?”
