Marrying Young Miss Kaya Raya
109

Alvin's head hurt when he woke up this morning. That made him have to close his eyes again, trying to reduce dizziness.

"Argh. My head hurts so much.." Alvin raised his hand, twitching his head slowly which felt heavy.

Alvin remembered last night he felt his body very limp. And likewise with this morning, it makes no difference that Alvin feels the pain is getting worse.

Alvin rubbed his eyes which still felt so heavy because he was still sleepy. But suddenly Alvin realized something. Last night, wasn't Karina in her house. Was it just a dream?

That means he had a strange dream because suddenly sqja dreamed Karina was present beside him, even accompanying him.

"But is it really a dream or-"

The young man opened his eyes. He looked around and was surprised to find Karina sitting on the chair right next to his bed, staring at him with her arms folded.

Alvin gasped and woke up in his bed. "You-you"

Karina who saw the surprised look on Alvin's face immediately straightened her seat. He had been waiting for Alvin to wake up from his sleep. And when he saw that Alvin had really opened his eyes he looked smiling, silent for a moment, looking at the young man's face.

"You awake?" said Karina trying to advance her body, closer to Alvin's bed.

"You here?"

"of course. Where else should I be."

"What are you doing in my room?"

Karina just snorted at the question. "You're not being so polite, Alvin."

"Don't talk about Karina."

"Yes, I admit that you're a little different from the Alvin I used to know. Ck, is your polite attitude gone"

"What?"

"You don't want to thank me first?! Shouldn't you be doing that now?"

"Thank you?" Alvin raised his eyebrows in wonder. "Why would I do that?."

"Alvin, I've been taking care of you all night. Don't you remember?" karina asked, "Ck, at least thank me."

Alvin blinked his eyes in disbelief. It's definitely not a dream but why it feels like a dream. Karina helped take care of herself. Is it not wrong?

"Come, drink this." Karina offered him a glass of water.

"What's this?"

"Hot tea. Actually I'm not sure it's still hot 'cause I made it a while ago." Karina touched the glass again. "It looks like it's still warm."

Alvin stared at the glass Karina gave in silence then grabbed it and downed the contents and gave it to Karina again.

"There's still no thank you." Karina smiled.

Karina moved closer and sat herself on the bed. He raised his hand and stuck it on Alvin's forehead.

"Your heat has gone down." said Karina.

Alvin, who was surprised, hurriedly brushed Karina's hand away from her. "Don't touch me!"

Karina smiled again after receiving the treatment. He just shook his head then grabbed the remaining basin compressing Alvin last night.

"I went back." said Karina got up from the bed, carrying the basin compress earlier.

Alvin frowned then looked at Karina.

"Wait a minute!" hold Alvin.

Karina flicked her steps and looked at Alvin confusedly. "What's wrong?"

"Where are you going?"

"Your kitchen."

"You what?

"Make breakfast."

"No need."

"Huh? But why?"

"You better get out of here. You said you've been at my house all night. It's not good if you keep on being here. I also don't want anyone to know we've both been here all night, we could be considered fornication."

Karina frowned. "What are you saying, Alvin. You-"

"I want you out of Karina's house, now."

"Alvin, I've been looking after you from four in the morning. I haven't eaten yet. At least let me have breakfast first." said Karina again continue the step out of the room to the kitchen.

Alvin sighed tiredly when he realized Karina had not listened to his request in the slightest.

Shortly after, Karina returned to the room with a plate of food.

"This I made for you" Karina said thrusting the plate at Alvin.

"You must eat so that your health will recover quickly."

Alvin answered with a head.

"No."

"Why not?"

"I don't want to eat."

"Yes, why not?"

Alvin no longer answered.

Karina shook her head while giggling amusedly. For the first time Karina realized Alvin was so cute when she was sick. He became anxious himself to see the behavior of this young man.

Alvin saw Karina laughing by herself, he became offended. "What's wrong?"

Alvin's voice made Karina stunned. He opened his eyes and looked at Alvin.

"Why?"

"You're laughing." Alvin stared in disbelief as he looked at Karina's gaze at him. "Are you laughing at me? Is there something funny about me?"

"No." Karina shakes.

Alvin furrowed both of his eyebrows. What exactly was Karina laughing about him. But not all this time Karina was often laughing at him.

While Karina saw the look on Alvin's face immediately chuckled.

"Why are you so sensitive. I don't even think about anything negative about you." said Karina.

Alvin turned his face away as if he did not want to hear the girl's explanation.

"Let's eat." said Karina thrust a spoonful of rice but Alvin hurriedly turned his face away, refusing the bribe.

"I told you, I don't want to eat!"

"You won't eat because I made it, will you?"

"Hm."

Karina sighed and placed the plate she held onto the nightstand. He looked at Alvin calmly.

"If you don't eat, how can you take medicine? You won't get well soon." said Karina.

"I don't need to take any medication."

"Alvin!"

"Karina, please stop.." Alvin whispered in his voice.

"Yes?" asked Karina who did not understand the young man's words.

"Please stop doing this kind of thing. And also, please get the hell out of here. I've asked you many times but you don't want to obey me either." Alvin said with a pleading face.

"Alvin"

"Why, Karina?!" asked Alvin. "Why after leaving me for another man you should come back and be present again. Right now, I'm trying to move on from you."

"Can?"

Alvin's words stopped. He looked up to look at Karina.

"I'm asking you. You said you were trying to move on. Then can you move on from me? Can you keep the memory of me away?"

Alvin gulped his saliva roughly then nodded. "Yes! I-i can. I can even love another girl. Like-"

"Who?" cut Karina. "Evelyn?"

Alvin was silent again for the umpteenth time. "He mean?"

"Yes, I can love her. Even more than when I loved you."

It was Karina's turn to be silent. For some reason in the depths of Karina's heart she felt disappointed by the words of her former lover. As far as Karina is concerned, Alvin loves her so much that it is impossible to love another girl any time soon after they have separated.

"What time is this?" said Karina to shift the subject while looking at the wall clock in Alvin's house.

"It's noon. Looks like I'm going home now and getting ready to go to college." said Karina again.

Alvin just silently watched Karina who looked awkward.

"You must not forget to eat your breakfast and your medicine. I put it on the nightstand near the closet. I'm leaving first." said Karina.

After saying that, Karina picked up her bag and coat and walked away leaving Alvin alone in her room.

"What's wrong with her?" muttered Alvin confused.
