NOT JUST FRIENDS
11

Alexia stared at the door of her apartment blankly, it had been almost two months since Felix said goodbye and until now the man had not returned. Even to send word he rarely did.

Alexia is lonely, she needs friends, and Felix is the one. But now the man has disappeared, maybe now the man is busy with his animals but what is difficult to give him news, at least exchange messages once a day.

With a giant step Alexia re-entered her room, there she laid her body comfortably. Today the woman came home early, but did not know what else to do to fill her free time.

Maybe the afternoon walk sounded good, Alexia got back up and noticed her performance in front of the glass. Not too bad, even with just his regular shirt and long cloth pants.

Winter had already passed, so Alexia did not need to add a thick jacket or coat again when she was about to travel out of the house.

The atmosphere of the streets is quite dense, many people who come out to enjoy the warm weather this afternoon. Children run around, adults jog and some take their pets for walks.

Alexia doesn't really like crowds but she also gets tired of being alone all the time. And now he's trying to blend in with the other pedestrians. Not as bad as he thought, Those people seemed to be busy with their own world and made Alexia relax a little.

In the middle of the trip Alexia saw a food truck parked in front of her. Seeing that reminds Alexia of the memories when she was a first-year student, Felix taught Alexia to try food sold on the outskirts.

Of course, Alexia initially refused, for fear that the taste would be strange or unpleasant because she was used to eating food cooked by chefs specifically at expensive restaurants.

But eventually Felix managed to convince Alexia to try a simple dish from a food truck seller and it did not taste as bad as Alexia thought, although processed with ingredients and makeshift equipment in fact the food they make tastes quite good.

In the end Alexia is hooked and always drags Felix to eat on the side of the road. Until one day Abraham, his father found Alexia who was eating fried sausage on the side of the road he was passing. As a successful businessman of course it makes his father embarrassed, with a little coercion Alexia was herded into his father's luxury car and brought home. Leaving Felix with him.

Alexia smiled bitterly takala recalled with those memories. Now he can eat on the outskirts as he pleases and no one will forbid. But unfortunately now Alexia is not lustful at all, maybe because she is used to doing it with Felix.

I don't know what that guy is doing right now!? Maybe he was milking cows or feeding his pigs or he could be busy riding, considering it his favorite since adolescence.

Alexia misses him even more, but does Felix miss Alexia? Alexia hopes Felix misses her just as much. It's not fair that he's the only one who feels that way.

"I didn't know you liked to walk. "

Allexia was shocked to hear the sound of baritones beside her. The woman turned her head and found Sebastian staring at her, the man looking very neat in his Tuxedo suit.

"Ouh, you surprised me. " said Alexia softly.

Sebastian smiled making his dimples clear.

"Do you have time, I'd like to take you for coffee while chatting. It's been a long time since we've met. "take Sebastian.

Alexia actually wanted to refuse, but she did not have a good reason to reject Sebastian's invitation just now.

"All right."

One word that came out of Alexia's mouth managed to make the smile on the man's face widen even more.

Sebastian also invites Alexia to enter his Sport car. At first Alexia was confused, but after Sebastian explained that he wanted to invite Alexia kekafe favorite of the man.

Alexia asked for time to change her clothes but was immediately rejected by Sebastian, the man said that they would stop by the usual cafe and Alexia's appearance was quite neat according to him.

Alexia's feeling was already bad when the car driven by Sebastian began to lead to the Upper East Side area. Alexia is not used to come here, it used to be almost every weekend she visited this place just for shopping.

But this time her usual appearance made Alexia feel like a beggar among the well-dressed people here.

Sebastian's car began to slow down and stopped right in front of a building that looked crowded.

"Where are you taking me? " ask Alexia when she realizes that the building is not a cafe like Sebastian said earlier.

Sebastian smiles and drags Alexia out of her car and takes her into the building.

"Sebastian what are you doing! " Elexia cried in panic, now she can hear the loud sound of music dj from inside the building and the boisterous clapping of people. Looks like there's someone in there holding a party.

Alexia's eyes narrowed, feeling bad to see the flickering disco lights in the room, while the loud sound of music played by a dj on stage made her ears hurt.

Sebastian codes the person on the stage, then the music stops and the flickering lights start to turn off and change with regular lights.

Alexia's eyes widened as she looked at whoever was in the room right now. There were dozens of college friends gathered. And they were all just as surprised to find Alexia there, especially with her current appearance.

"Aaaa, whataaa this! " an Alexia exclaimed with a quivering voice, she looked at Sebastian asking for an answer. But the man instead mengengengos go let Alexia confusion herself.

"Tests... Tests... Tests... "

Alexia's surprise increased when she saw who was on stage now, with her sly smile Margaret standing there wearing a luxurious dress and beautiful makeup on her face, inversely proportional to Alexia who looks like a street.

"Friends please pay attention! " exclaimed Margaret who managed to make everyone focus on her.

"I want to thank all of you for attending this birthday event. "

"What does this mean? Why would Sebastian take me to that son of a bitch's birthday? " inner Alexia is anxious.

"I am very happy to be able to celebrate this happy day with you, but I am even more pleased to find my half-brother who is also willing to attend, even with his shabby clothes. "

Suddenly the whole room laughed at Margaret's last words, Alexia's face flushed in embarrassment just now from her former half-sister.

"I also want to tell you that now she is no longer the daughter of the Rayan family. He's just an ordinary employee who works from morning to evening, and you know where he lives now? " Margaareth paused his sentence then giggled softly while staring at Alexia's angry expression.

"He only lived in a narrow apartment, not even wider than my bedroom. How sad. "

People laughed again with Margaret, while Alexia the woman could not resist even returning Margaret's words she could not.

"You remember how arrogant he was, under his father's name he demeaned us all. And especially tonight I dedicate to you who want revenge on that cheap woman, you can make her a doll tonight! "

At the same time, two sturdy men approached Alexia, both of whom then dragged Alexia into the middle of the room. Alexia was rebellious but helpless in the grip of the two muscular men.

With tears in Alexia tied to a pole, Margaret and Sebastian came to hand out buckets filled with colorful water.

"Let's vent your frustration on that arrogant woman tonight! " excited Margaret.

And the balloon balloon slid towards Alexia and then broke and made colorful stains on her body and clothes.

Alexia cries but refuses to beg to be released, now she just realized that the ones who attended this party were mostly women who did not like it during college first. Either because he's more popular, smarter or because of his closeness to Felix. And the man who was there if not the lover of the woman, then they were the man Alexia had rejected her love first.

How great Margaret was, she could memorize very well anyone who did not like Alexia. And Alexia is stupidly trapped in the woman's game.

The mindless humans continued to invade Alexia's body with a hot water balloon, making Alexia tired to take a breath. They laughed out loud to see how much Alexia was suffering now.

"Ooh... Look how miserable you are now. You're like an ugly duckling surrounded by a charming swan! " said Margaret while pointing her phone camera at the chaotic-looking Alexia.

Margaret told the dj to return to playing her music, the room was immediately crowded by the scorching and loud laughter from those who enjoyed the event. Everyone started dancing while throwing some water balloons at Alexia's face, some of them even floating slaps at her face.

Alexia was helpless. In his heart swearing to avenge all that Margaret had done to him, she had to be rewarded for what she did.
