Love Me Please Channing
The arrival of Malvin

The expression of love that leads to quarrels, which is then followed by a cold attitude, this time no longer seen in Binar. The girl seemed ordinary even though last night showed considerable injuries and petty towards Channing.

In the morning, Binar casually came down and dined together at the same table as Channing. In fact, Binar did not shuffle away even though Channing took her place before him.

However, there is one thing that is slightly different from the self of Binar that morning, namely clothing. He was only wearing shorts and casual jerseys, not college clothes. As far as Channing knows, that day she had a morning class.

"Son Binar didn't go to college?"

Axel's question represents Channing's heart, which he cannot reveal because it is still awkward after last night's incident. Unlike Axel who only asked at a glance, Channing actually waited for Binar's answer seriously.

"Lecture, but it'll be noon."

Binar's answer has not satisfied Channing. He still wanted to know why he was in the afternoon. Unfortunately, Axel did not want to ask further. He answered 'o' only.

After that, as usual, their breakfast was interspersed with small talk and occasional jokes. Binar also often come to say and spread her sweet smile, so Kendrick and Athena are not suspicious of the problems that exist among her children.

After finishing each portion, all rose up and took turns saying goodbye to Athena. Channing is no exception. Although in his heart still heavy because he wanted to know why Binar entered the afternoon, but he was forced to get up and say goodbye as well. Now is not a good time to improve his relationship with Binar.

"Mama!" call Binar when all is gone, including Kendrick.

"Why, Bin?" sahut Athena without looking. He was busy helping the waitress stack dirty equipment on the table.

"I want to talk to Mama. Important."

Athena rushed to her head and found a serious gesture on Binar's face, a rare thing for her to do.

"Speak what?" Athena asked while sitting next to Binar.

The girl also gave a faint smile before starting her sentence.

The noisy atmosphere of the canteen contrasted with Channing's sour face. For fifteen minutes he sat down with his friends, but not a single word was said. Although at first glance seemed to focus on the drink, but the original mind Channing not in that place. Where else if not for his sister.

"You still think Laurent?" Digo raised the question without further ado. He was so excited to see Channing silence.

"No. He's gone, so let's go, why are you still thinking." Channing wasn't lying, it was not Laurent he thought he was.

"Continue?" sela Felix's.

"Nothing is."

Beside him, Evan laughed. According to him, Channing's answer was ridiculous, even with the look on his face.

"You're like a broken hearted person knows no. Wh why? Falling in love again and not coming? Ah, weak. An example of me. Even though last night was rejected outright, but now you can still laugh," said Evan, who suddenly made Channing turn her head.

"You're rejected? Same Binar?"

Evan turned the eyeball, also taking a deep breath. "Who else do I love besides your sister?"

Channing doesn't say it anymore. He went back to silence, and it caught Evan's attention.

"Your story was ... You didn't experience it yourself, did you?" ask Evan. He recalled Channing's revelation about the sister who loved him. For some reason, Channing's expression this time seemed to say that the incident was her experience.

"You're crazy. Yes, not." Channing dodged while grunting roughly. While Felix and Digo look at each other, the two compactly doubt Channing's honesty.

Evan felt the same way. In fact, he begins to suspect that there is something between Binar and Channing.

However, it did not dampen the love he felt. In her heart, Binar remains a special girl who deserves to be pursued and fought for.

Until tonight, Channing suddenly surprised by the presence of Malvin— alone. Without giving any news, he immediately appeared at Channing's residence, making the owner of the house frown when he came face to face with her.

"Malvin, you've come, son." Athena's welcome was overjoyed and did not show any surprise, as if she already knew that Malvin was coming.

After Malvin is escorted to the guest room to clean himself up, Channing approaches Athena and asks about Malvin's arrival.

"He's going to pick up your sister." Athena's answer made Channing even more jolted.

"I mean Mama?"

"Indeed, Binar hasn't told you?" Athena asked back, and Channing could only respond with a soft slit.

"Binar will stay at Malvin's place. It is cool, beautiful, and peaceful, away from the noise like here. He said the place was perfect for inspiration. He wants to pursue his hobbies and ideals there" explained Athena.

To his surprise, Channing was speechless.

"Actually, the choice of this Binar is also not something that can be said to be good. But, your mom and dad can only be supportive. Maybe by staying far away later, Binar can reduce his effective attitude. And maybe, someday he will want to learn business after knowing that his hobby does not guarantee the future." Athena continued her explanation, not knowing that Channing's feelings had been muddled by then.

"How long has he been there, Ma?" channing asked after calming her heart down.

Athena turned her shoulders. "Mama doesn't know for sure either. Although now he says he will be there long because he wants to be a great comic, but you also know for yourself how the nature of Binar, often inconsistent. His spirit is sometimes windy, often changing decisions in the middle of the road."

Even though what Athena said was true. Channing did not think there. He focused instead on what happened a few days ago, where he saw a huge disappointment on Binar's face. Channing believes that the decision of Binar this time must be related to that night.

After talking to Athena, Channing returned to the second floor. Not the private room that became the destination, but the room of Binar.

Twice knocking on the door, there was no answer from inside. Channing waited for a moment before knocking again.

Luckily, on the third knock Binar answered and opened the door for him.

"Aren't you going to say anything to me, Bin?" channing asked as the two stood face to face. There was a sense of mystery in Channing's heart when she saw the gaze of Binar that seemed to spread the distance between the two.

"Nothing is." Binar answered briefly.

Channing took a deep breath. "Malvin's downstairs. He said he'd pick you up."

"Oh, yes."

"Why, Bin?"

"I want to pursue my goals. That's where it fits."

Not one hundred percent lies. The Malvin residence is beautiful and peaceful. Since the day before, Binar had thought about staying there and looking for inspiration. However, it was her love for Channing that broke the plan. Now that he was disappointed, he dared to make that choice.

"I'm sorry" Channing said slowly. Although there is no official recognition of Binar's lips, but he understands that he is one of the reasons for Binar's departure.

"No need to apologize, what was wrong I did, had not known myself all this time. But you calm down, brother, from now on I won't bother you. And if we need to, we don't have to see each other again. We were originally just strangers, it would be better if we applied that relationship to the future."

A very interesting answer. Do you act like a stranger, he said?

Duh, Binar, how big is your disappointment?

Seriate...
