THE ALEXIS
CHALLENGE

Alex has seen a poster attached to the campus mading. He knew his twin brother followed him every year. This time he wanted to follow her. He had not competed in such a competition for a long time.

“Lex, will you enter the annual competition?” Nadya was in her arms.

These few days Nadya clings to Alex like a leech. Wherever there is Alex, there is Nadya. This happened after Nadya insisted on seeing Alex a few days ago.

This woman shows a video recording and photos of Khiara and Adit's affection she got. Nadya was really confident in showing the video footage. And it was Alex's reaction that made him feel satisfied and more courageous to acquire Alex into his possession. Victory he has won.

Alex was indeed burning with jealous flames when he saw the video. And that jealousy cannot be covered up. His face hardened, his hands clenched and his cold eyes shot out sharply. To the people who saw it, it looked like an overflow of hateful emotions.

And after that, Nadya was always around him. Be protective of her, not letting a woman approach her. But Alex did not mind it, instead impressed to enjoy the presence of Nadya at his side. And of course, he avoided Khiara at every turn.

“Emh,” the answer is short.

“Good! I'll encourage you when you fight. Oya, by the way are you going to perform at the closing show?” ask Nadya again.

A performance. I don't know why it made her think of Khiara. At his talks with Adit and Natasha.

“Ehem!” They both looked at the sound of darkness. Behind them was Khiara leaning against the wall and casually crossing her hands and feet.

“Sorry to interrupt your courtship time,” he said as he walked closer to them. He emphasized on the word courtship because it was with Alex who avoided him, but instead stuck to Nadya.

Khiara herself did not know what typhoon hit Alex until the man changed instantly. But Khiara herself is reluctant to find out. Khiara himself massih hold on to the motto of his life that will never chase men.

Let the man be, it will show Khiara how much he loves her. If the man did love her, there was no way the man would turn away from her. Especially because of a problem that Khiara herself did not know what.

Alex just fell silent and his expression was just flat, although clearly Nadya getting closer to his body. 

“You do not know shy about disturbing people who are dating.“ It was Nady who replied to Khiara. It was obvious from his face if the woman was really annoyed by Khiara.

“Oops .. sorry. My bad's. I don’t have manner for this one,” Khiara responded.

“You!” Khiara managed to make Nadya emotional, but Nadya immediately controlled her emotions. He realized that right now, he was the winner. And he will show Khiara that Khiara is just a little gravel.

“What are you doing here, Khiara, honey? You already have another man, why do you still want us, hemh?” Khiara's forehead was wrinkled to hear it. What is this woman talking about?

“What's up?” Alex's voice was cold. His tone deeply hurt Khiara, but he managed to hide it. Khiara is not his name if he cannot act perfectly.

“Well ...” Khiara slightly corrected the location of her anti-radiation glasses. “I just want to hand this over.” He handed over the white envelope from Ayu to Alex by flanking it on two fingers of his right hand. Like handing a poker card to a gambling player. Alex accepted it. 

“What is this?” alex asked, refusing to open it.

“What is your language ability so fluent that I should read it to you, Mr Jester Alexander?” There is emphasis on his first name, but Khiara's words actually make Alex grin.

“Jester Alexander? You're delirious?” Nadya interrupted them both.

Oh, this oath really sucks. Why should this j*al*ang woman exist? Khiara just glanced at him lazily. And the woman pressed her chest against Alex's arm. And what makes Khiara more inflamed is Alex's mediocre attitude. Reading the letter casually was as if he had gotten used to having his arm around this crazy woman.

And for Khiara this was the first time for her to feel this way. With full awareness he actually realized, that he was being consumed by jealous flames at this time. But on the other hand, he should still be relaxed for the sake of self-esteem. 

If only there was a wooden or iron door here, it would have been nice to have Alex throw his head there and wake him up. Hello .. A few days ago he proposed to her. Then why now just make out with other women and be cold to him? 

“Then what else are you waiting for?” Alex raised his head and looked at Khiara.

“The answer. Do you want to do it or not?”

“Nope.” Khiara breathed.

“I've guessed. You really don't have any skills in music.”

“Don't you know! You will be amazed if you see it,”, sergeant Nadya. “Lex, you better show her who you are.” Khiara clucked in annoyance with Nadya who continued to babble.

“Teruplah ... it is not pent ....” Suddenly the sentence came to a halt as the corner of Khiara's eyes caught Ayu standing a little further behind Alex and Nadya with a block note that read a few words on each sheet.

Khiara sharpened her eyes to read the writing. The first sheet is⎾ ⁇ ⏌*eonni sarathae which means ‘kak, I love you’, then the next sheet is ‘you promoted!’ and last is ‘I hope you’.

“Geez, this punk! You’ll pay this, kid!” hissing Khiara when he finished reading it. Nadya turned her head towards Ayu, and the girl immediately ran away just like that. “I pull back, you still have to accept. No matter what you want to destroy your appearance later.”

“If I don't want to?”

“I'll force you.” Suddenly Khiara got the idea. “Let’s do it.” Khiara pointed towards the basketball court with her thumb. “Triple O.” Alex smiled snobbishly.

“You challenge me?”

“Yes. If you lose, you must accept it plus one challenge from me, but if I lose .. I will be your slave for a week.”

“Deal!” Alex agreed quickly. ****! It's in his spirit that he wants to make me a slave, but don't expect you to succeed.

“OK, we do after my lecture ends.” Khiara looked at her watch. “Four more hours,” he said then passed from there. 

Alex looked at Khiara's back. He did not care who would win or lose later, all he thought about was making Khiara quickly leave from before him.
