Love Melati Love
The Love of Steven

Meli enjoyed her lunch at a cafe not far from the campus. From morning until lunch he was still struggling with his textbook.

Beside him sat a handsome bule man, accompanying him to lunch. While occasionally telling stories in between his mouth.

"There's still class this afternoon Li?" ask the man. Meli nodded then looked towards the man.

"You?"

"Nothing."

"But I'll wait in Perpus. Just meet me there. If your class is over. We go home together" said the man who turned out to be Steven. Meli nodded. Then smile sweetly at Steven. A wonderful gift for Steven. Because since knowing Meli 3 years ago, she has fallen in love with the beautiful almond-eyed girl. Indonesian Girl.

Meli stared at the clock on her wrist. Then looked at Steven gently.

"I have to go to class. The lecturer will be in shortly. I stay yes." said Meli. Steven nodded.

"Have you prayed?"

"Already, just after the class disbanded directly to the mushala,"

Steven smiled hearing that. Then they both got up and went out of the cafe.

They split at the intersection between Meli's class and the road to the Library. Move to the right and Steven to the left. The bule man waved his hand as he got further and further away from Meli.

Meli entered her class this afternoon. After sitting in her chair Meli opened her notebook. Someone greeted him while he was reading.

"It's a shock" said a girl, then took a seat next to Meli. Meli turned and looked at him fixedly .

"Tumben...quick in?" geli Goda. The girl chuckled.

"Again not busy on stage. If you are busy, wake up. And certainly will be late in class," he said smiling sweetly.

My friend is from Malaysia. His name is Nur Fatimah. The girl lives near Meli's flat. They're pretty familiar. When you start going to college first. Till now. Now they are the same - taking the same courses.

"I didn't see you Nur when I entered class this morning. Aren't we taking the same course?" Nur Fatimah shook her head.

"We are the same as taking SKS first. Cooking is not the same. Just ask me who's late. First and second class I didn't go in. Still beautiful," said Nur lightly.

Yes Salam.Malaysian girl looks very relaxed. Meli is not in the end. He felt he was the most ignorant. But if for education then he will number his unit.

A few minutes later. The lecturer who taught in the class came in. Both stopped their conversation. Then dissolve in learning activities.

Two hours later they took class that afternoon. Meli resisted her sleepiness that felt heavy. After the lecturer left the class. Meli directly typed a message on Steven.

It's like he won't be able to find Steven in the Library. Because of the drowsiness that attacks. After sending a message Meli decided to exit the campus building. And stopped a taxi. Then get into the belly of the sedan car. After telling the taxi driver his home address. The girl closed her eyes for a moment. It was not until twenty minutes that the taxi driver woke Meli.

"Miss.we've arrived." Meli opened her eyes. Then pay some money, then get out of the taxi.

With still restraining sleepiness Meli ran a little towards her house. Open the door of the house, lock it back, then go straight into his room. Open the shoes and lay her body on the bed.

Long Meli slept, until a phone woke her from a dream. With a step gontai, in the grab of a mobile phone located on his dressing table. Then put that flat object in his ear.

" Hello.yeah." long ago Meli listened to the voice from behind the phone connection. He could only answer yes and then nodded. It was as if the person calling him across knew his movements. Meli pinched the base of her nose. Before long the teardrops fell on his smooth cheeks.

Undone the voice sounded in her eardrum, the girl squeezed a red mark on her phone screen. Then cry a mouthful. Sit with your head bowed to the floor. Her tears did not stop flowing down her cheeks.

"Tok.tok..tok.." the sound of the front door of the house on tap. Meli ignored the sound of the knock. Her tears had not stopped properly, but because the knocking sound never stopped, Meli woke her body while wiping the tears that drenched her cheeks with tissue.

"Steve.." call Meli in a quivering voice.

The man turned his head then turned his tall strapping body towards Meli. Eyebrows raised. As a gesture, ask what is wrong with him.

Bend down, then go into the house. Steven followed the girl's steps. Now Meli's tears are getting broken when Steven pulls her hand and immediately hugs her tightly.

"What's wrong?" tanya Steven broke her embrace, while holding both cheeks Meli with both hands. Meli. Unable to answer.

For some reason, she was now a very fragile girl. Love that does not arrive. And the grapevine news about the arrival of the Resnu family to his parents' house, to apply for his twin, Melati.

And the sense of the wound was getting worse, with the forced love of his parents with a man who was a close relative .

Meli felt why ever since Melati came. All that luck sided with his twin. And not on her.

How lucky Melati is to be loved by the man who loves her. In stark contrast to her, who could only love Resnu in silence. Can only smile sadly staring at every sweet treatment Resnu made for Melati.

"What about coercion of love again?" this time Steve's voice sounded. He wants to be angry. Why Meli's parents are too dictatorial. It was as if they were the ones who had the right to draw up the girl's path of life. The girl he secretly loved.

"Li.if they still want to match you with that doctor. Just reject. Tell me you already have a lover here!" steven said straightforwardly. Meli was surprised to hear Steven's words. The girl looked at the handsome man in front of her with a questionable look.

"I don't have Steve's girlfriend, how can I tell my parents...Nobody wants to love me Steve.no one...!" shouted Meli shriek. Steven shakes.

"Don't tell me so, Li..." Meli threw her gaze away from Steven.

"Look at me Li..Lookakuuu!" steven orders while cupping Meli's cheek with both hands. Steven's face was tense. Meli looked at the man's face, with tears constantly flowing.

" I'm Li. I'll love you. Don't say no one loves you anymore. I'm Steven who's going to propose to you to be my wife" Steven said, gently wiping away the tears that ran down Meli's smooth cheeks.

Meli.

"No Steve.don't be a victim to my family's business. I don't want you to be forced. I don't want Steve" Meli refused sadly. Steven shakes.

"Who said I had to? Didn't you know Li. I've been in love with you for a long time" Meli's eyes rounded to Steven's confession.

"Ka . Are you serious Steve?" tanya Meli hesitated. Steven smiled and nodded.

"Yes...Li. I'm serious.two rius even.." said Steven while chuckling. Meli smiled on the sidelines of her cries hearing the honesty of the lips of the bule man. But how did he feel that he loved Resnu so much?

"If you agree, then just refuse the doctor's application. Because I am with you. Loving you Li "continue Steven steady.

The man tightened his embrace. And Meli let herself in the arms of Steve's field that began to feel warm to Meli this time.

Although feeling calm in Steven's arms. But Meli was worried. About what he should say to his Mom and Dad later.

Because next week, Randy will come to the Aussie to meet him.
