Melancholic Introvert
Chapter 25: Sorry

I finally came home safe, I also intend to take a shower, wash my entire body of the sultry fight and lie down while sleeping soundly in my soft mattress.

But can I sleep well tonight?

After what the evil Alien Man did to me?!

I'm still wondering what sin I ever committed against him, so that this Alien guy could be this bad to me?

“Gladish, where are you Nak?” Ask Dad who is waiting for me on the living room sofa, accompanied by a cup of black coffee, “It's already 23.14 WIB!” He said, glancing at the wall clock hanging on the wall of the living room.

“I finished dinner outside Sir.” I answered, taking off my new sandals and putting them on a shoe rack.

“Lapse of date huh?” Investigate the Father, while narrowing his eyes, “Who is the unlucky guy?” Ask the Father again, laughing crisply and sipping his black coffee.

I also rolled my eyeballs.

Guys not lucky? You think your son is that bad? Or will this kid bring you shit?

“Neither sir, is Gladish JOMBLO.” I replied while placing emphasis at the end of the sentence (Jomblo), so that my beloved Father who had a distended stomach could be satisfied to bully me.

When I finished taking a shower, I checked my phone back, which was still on the table, next to my room light. Wish that Alien Boy contacted me for just, yah~ apologized to me…

Again, hope is never as good as reality.

My phone is only filled with spam messages from WhatsApp grub class 2 IPA 6, which is mostly spam by Niko.

Usually the annoying Arab guy is always Spam wise and religious words, which I think amit-amit does not fit his behavior. And unfortunately~ Spam Niko is always answered and responded positively by girls in class, who are so cute to him...

Well even though I don't want to admit it, often I hear whispers from a group of girls who are again Grieving, if Niko is…

“Niko it if you look closely, his son is sweet too huh?”

“Niko is her handsome son also well.. High anyway.”

“Niko's Face... Uwuuu~ Bak prince Arab.”

“Liat Niko, my uterus is an angel well?”

“Niko's son cool also yah!”

Instantly when I heard the words of praise for Niko, it felt.. Ukh~ I wanted to vomit.

Ah already~

I returned to my phone with disappointment. Disappointed because there has been no apology message from someone…

Half an hour later…

“Hareudang, hareudang, hareudang

Hot, hot, hot

Always, always, always

Hot and hareudang..”.

Gladish mobile phone also reads, somehow Tomboy girl is addicted to Hareudang song, the song sung by Happy Asmara is popular among young people on the TikTok App and recently it turned the theme into a ringtone on its Handphonenya.

He immediately ran to reach the phone back, hoping Arga who contacted him to apologize…

But he again had to bury deeply his expectations, because on the screen his Handphone reads “Pencil Call.” Which means his best friend Prisil called him.

“Halo, Dhis..” Greet someone across there.

“Iya Sil what is it?” Asked Gladish, narrowing his eyes.

“Ciiieeee out dating.” Prisil Goda. “Where, how was your date with Arga?”

“Gagal.” Answer Gladish, briefly.

“Well?” Ask Prisil wonder.

“Doi not come.” Obviously Gladish, with a disappointed tone.

“Severe luck... after what we do for hours in shopping mall..”.

“Hiks...” Gladish was suddenly no longer able to hide his disappointment.. Finally the tomboy girl, melted too.... He also cried sobbing.... “Huhuuu~ I did not expect Arga this late to the Cave, I was not surprised, Sil.” Adu Gladish to his closest friend, for now the tomboy girl is in need of a friend confide.

Gladish is indeed a tomboyish girl, a strong girl, and a girl who always looks tough, it basically has a smooth and sensitive feeling.

“Already Dhis~ Positive Thingking alone, maybe he is busy again, Dhis, you are patient yah.” Relax Prisil, to his best friend. I wanted Prisil to come and hug his best friend, to calm his best friend who was injured. But baby, now time has shown at midnight.

“Iya Dhis maybe she's busy.” Gladish replied in a hiccuping tone.

“Tomorrow at school, you have to meet Arga well, you guys have to talk about this well.” Prisil said, providing a solution.

According to Prisil's advice, Gladish came to school early in the morning, to ask Arga for an explanation, so that their misunderstanding problem can be resolved immediately.

That morning after He reached the School, He went straight into the classroom, looking for Arga's whereabouts. But nil.

He immediately put his bag and left the class, intending to wait for Arga in front of the school fence.

Not yet step up to the front fence of the school, he has found Arga.

The man with the maroon-red backpack (seems like Arga loves maroon) came to school with a grim looking face.

Bleary?

Tumben Alien Man is grim face, usually Arga always put on a flat expression, every time come to school.” Gladish muttered inwardly, furrowing his brows.

Gladish immediately ran to the trail of Arga. “Argaaaaa!” Call him, to the guy he often nicknamed ‘Alien’.

Arga who heard the call of Gladish, immediately turned his face away.

Pretending not to see the existence of the girl who is not far from his reach.

Pretending not to hear the voice of the girl who just called her name.

“ARGAAAA, ARGAAAAA…!!! Shouted Gladish as loud as he could, realizing the Introvert guy did not see his whereabouts and did not hear his voice. He immediately chased after Arga (who was walking towards the class from the other direction) and approached him.

₩₩₩₩₩

They both stand facing each other now.

*hening.*

“What's up?” Arga asked, breaking the silence, with a cold glare of eyes.

“Why didn't you come last night?” Gladish asked for an explanation, from the handsome guy who was currently standing right in front of her.

“Sorry, I forgot..” replied Arga with an apology, but there was not a single look of regret from his facial expression.

“Hah…! Forgot?!” Screeched Gladish with a stifled voice, his two eyes were now reddened and glazed.

Arga began to melt when he saw the eyes of the woman, his eyes look red and teary, as if he wanted to cry.

But suddenly, the words of Reva and Nadia were ringing again in his head.

……

...

“You don't Ge’er..!” Seru Reva's.

“Ge’er?” Ask Arga.

“Iya Ge’er, actually Gladish used to shoot you not because He likes you... NOT..” Connect Reva again.. to save self-esteem, his old friend, Gladish.

“Not?” Ask Arga again, not understanding.

“Iya very right, actually Gladish, Me and Reva used to bet..” Continued Nadia, also wanted to save the self-esteem of her old friend. “So fill our bet, if Gladish can shoot Elo, and Elo receive, we will thank Gladish money.”

…

……

Arga realized Gladish's eyes turned red and teary as if he wanted to cry, but the cold man still did not change his cold facial expression to care, he really has no heart.

*Recommend*

Right now Gladish's right hand is firmly clenched, wanting to punch a handsome face, from the man currently standing before him. But he tried his hardest not to do it.

Wh why?

I don't know~ when with another man, he easily floated his fist towards the cheek of the man.

But…

Why did it feel so hard for him to stick that fist towards Arga's face?

The face of the man who currently looks very very annoying and arrogant in front of him.

“Already?” Asked Arga, with a carefree expression.

Gladish was still silent, while looking at Arga's face with eyes full of hatred. The girl was still busy holding her fist that she wanted to land on Arga's face.

Not getting an answer, Arga was about to pass away leaving the girl who was currently standing before him.

Gladish immediately restrained Arga's steps, holding the Alien Man's right arm, with his left hand. “Wait!” Resistant Gladish.

Gladish looked back at Arga's face deeply. “If you forgot... why... why don't you read my message?” Asked Gladish with a hoarse and vibrating voice, ah sial~ the tomboy girl was apparently very anxious to cry in front of the cold guy. “Why didn't you pick up my phone? WHY, HUH?!” Gladish finally.

“Sorry..” Arga said briefly, Arga immediately shook Gladish's hand with a single blow. “I'm not used to, I'm not used to communicating intensely with people who I don't think are important.” His reply was cold, and passed from before Gladish.
