METAL CHILD BALLad
MORE BEAUTIFUL

"I thought you were really sick. Just worry about it." Hearing that from her girl, of course, made Alexi was like he could no longer stem his desire. "In that case, can we just video call? I'm also a real kangeeeen with you and want to see you right now." 

"Video Call?" Zike asked as he turned towards Suri who was still engrossed in doing something in her current place.

"Hows it? Don't you want to meet your girlfriend?" alexi asked with a bit of suspicion.

"A-i .. ssstt!" Zike whispered. There's someone here.

"Who?" alexi asked curiously.

"He ... he is ...."

Zike pointed his camera at Suri secretly. "Other pretty girls."

Alexi felt relieved now and asked, "No problem, right? Come, Iaaang! I miss kamuu!"

"All right!" Zike agreed. He missed Alexi a lot. Even though they met face to face all day, the two never felt bored at all. 

Now they are switching to using video calls to communicate remotely. Zike could clearly see Alexi's face which always made him miss the younger man who deserved to be called the Beetle as Beautiful as a Flower. Zike smiled sweetly welcoming the lover who also returned his smile.

"Darling, you're getting pretty." Alexi praised Zike who was starting to change a little. "I'm more confused with you."

Getting such praise from her lover, Zike's face became red. But he is a Zike who doesn't like to show a face carried away by feelings. The girl kept trying to calm down. Moreover, Alexi's face was no less beautiful than a woman's. Although Alexi's body is quite tall and athletic, but many people sometimes mistakenly think of the young man.

"Thank you, but it looks like you just want to make me happy." said Zike who actually wanted to scream happy. The girl screamed in her heart. "He praised me! Ale really praised me, right? Aatauu .. She was just making me happy and amused, but her words weren't true?" 

"Zike!" Alexi called out to Zike who looked dreamy. "Zikeeee!" 

"Zain Kamilaaaaa!" Alexi was forced to shout his girlfriend's real name. 

"Eh, yeah!" Zike was shocked when Alexi called out his real name. "Kok you know my name?" 

"Of course Alexi knows," Alexi replied proudly. " How? You're shocked, kaaan?" 

"Yes, I'm shocked." Zike tried to guess where Alexi knew his name from. "What is Meilia?" 

"No," Alexi replied briefly.

"From Ah Liong for sure!" This time his guess could not miss. "Really, right?" 

Alexi suddenly twisted his current position and took the background of the maple leaf painting that had just been repaired for himself posing in front of him. "From this!" 

Zike's eyes widened when he saw the painting. "My painting! Why is it with you?" 

"I bought it." Alexi answered proudly, then he whispered near the microphone of his phone. "I even plan to buy the maker as well." 

"What?" Zike was shocked and did not understand Alexi's words. "Bought me?" 

"Yes. To your parents of course. Don't you want to be my wife?" asked Alexi regardless of how fond Zike's face was. 

"You-you!" Zike threw his face the other way and pretended to look towards Suri who was still busy tidying up the clothes belonging to Zike who had just been lifted from the clothesline. The girl said without looking at Alexi. "It's not that easy if you want to make me your wife!" 

"Then, how should I go?" alexi asked who became challenged by the words of her lover. 

"You .. you must be able to defeat me first" Zike told his girlfriend without caring how it would turn out.

Alexi asked very curiously. "beat you? In what way?"

"Beating him?" Alexi recalled the encounter that left him battered due to his inability against Hardman.

"All right! I'll beat it for you!" Alex responded without thinking.

"So you agree?"

"Yes. To get you!" Alexi looks excited.

"Hhhh you!" Zike felt very flattered of course. "That's the first and of course there are others."

"There's more?" Alexi felt astonished and curious until he furrowed his brows. "Whatis that? Do I have to beat your father?"

"That's not all. Besides my father, you can also defeat me." Zike challenged his lover. "I want you to become stronger and be able to protect me someday."

"True to him. I must become stronger in order to protect her later. Alexi said in his heart. "Now he is a disciple of the Golden Eagle. So, one day we will face off as opponents in the ring. Isn't that according to my plan?"

"alright. I agree!" alexi excitedly. "Anything I'll do for you!"

"So you agree to all my terms?" Zike was surprised by Alexi's attitude which seemed to not mind at all on these conditions.

"Why not? I think it's very nice and interesting" Alexi said, looking at the wall clock. "Oh yeah, I have one thing I want to tell you."

Zike was curious and asked, "What is that?"

"Mmhhh .. Besides I miss you. I also want to ask you for a prayer." Alexi ventured to be forthright about his departure this time. "I have a problem with my business, so I'll be gone in a few days."

"Pray from me?" Zike became saddened by Alex's words. The girl asked in a lethargic tone. "So you're going far?"

"Yes quite far away, just across the island. Maybe I can't call you too often, because on the island it's very difficult to get a signal," replied Alexi who was also in a tone no less sad. "You're okay, right?" 

"But, Aleeee! What if I miss you?" Zike objected to Alexi's departure. "Place with signal. Doesn't that mean we'll have trouble connecting?"

"Difficult signal, but not nothing at all. Maybe I can contact you only once," Alexi replied to calm his lover's heart, even though he knew for sure the situation of the remote island.

"All right, then. But ... What if you forget me? What if you meet a beautiful girl?" asked Zike while imagining his lover being mobbed by many women.

Inevitably Alexi laughed. How happy he was to hear Zike's question which clearly implied a real sense of jealousy for him. He had even just finished dressing up a wound that was too difficult for him to work on.

"Finally done too!" alexi exclaimed in his heart and felt quite happy for his work. "But, it would still not be as neat if Abraham did it."

Zike actually became upset over the behavior of Alexi who actually laughed at him, while he was feeling sad. "Iamaha! Why are you laughing at me?"

"You're funnyuu," Alexi replied still with a crisp sounding patter of laughter full of pleasure. 

Suri who heard the conversation could only bite her lower lip. It's obvious that Zike and Alexi love each other very much. The fat girl said in her heart. "If I could find my own partner and talk to each other like them."

"What's so funny? I'm just reminding you!" Zike said with annoyance. "Am I wrong if I'm worried about you being there? I often see and hear news of infidelity. So naturally, if I was afraid that would happen to our relationship!

"Oohh, so my dear is feeling jealous?" Alexi asked in his laughter. "Goodoo. I like that."

Zike is getting whimpery. "Who said I was jealous?"

...Seriate...
