The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 76: Pairing
“Senior Miranda?” Rafa asked politely, “What do you need, huh? Want to talk to’in about what was negotiated with the Chairperson of Parta earlier, or about the distribution of certificates for junior children tonight?”
The woman named Miranda had bitten her lower lip awkwardly. It wasn't the two things he wanted to talk about with the one-level junior. Miranda just wants to get close to Rafa.
Actually, Miranda had been chatting with Taruni's friends in class. But when he saw Rafa left alone, his friends suggested Miranda to try to get closer. Because, they already know that Miranda is interested in Rafa since the young man became a junior in his guidance group at the Student Orientation Event last year.
Miranda likes Rafa in addition to being handsome and physically attractive, Rafa is an outstanding cadet in the academy in academic and non-academic fields. He's a good thinker, mature, and assertive. Not only that, his family's well-established background also made Miranda more in love with him, a father who served as a high-ranking officer, and a mother who had the business and foundation to help many people.
Which woman is not interested in all the perfection that Rafa has? But, because the blonde-haired young man always act cold to people who seem to want, so many women are reluctant to pedekate with him.
“No. I just want to say hello. Looks like you're alone here.”
“Oh?” Rafa turned his head towards his comrades who started dancing on the dance floor. “Iya.... Confused about what to do too. You're not dancing? The prize is great if you are lucky to win.”
“Eee...” Miranda stroked her own nape. “I... don't have a partner. If there is, yes of course I will come.”
There was a quiet atmosphere between the two. Neither Miranda nor Rafa wanted to start talks first. The two just stood up while watching the people dance to the accompaniment of melow music.
For some reason, Rafa became bored himself. He wanted to go say hello to the other Mids, but most of them took part in the pairing race with the Tarunis. Wanted to leave, but it felt bad to leave Miranda alone.
Rafa also sighed. How else would you like? Than to almost die of bored contemplation here.
“Hm?”
Miranda wondered in her heart when she saw Rafa's helping hand pointing at her. When Miranda's eyes looked right at Rafa's beautiful face, the young man said,
“I'm tired of standing alone watching them dance. So, you wanna dance with me, Senior?”
There was no friendly expression or sincere smile from Rafa's face. However, being invited to dance together like this has made Miranda's heart flower.
Miranda sculpts, made to hardly believe if Rafa really invites her to dance.
“Su-really? You're taking me?” miranda asked making sure while pointing at herself.
“Ya,” said Rafa flat, “If not, I will not max—.”
“OK, okay.”
Miranda immediately returned Rafa's hand, gladly accepting Rafa's offer to dance with him.
“By pleasure.” Miranda smiled sincerely at Rafa.
Rafa replies with a thin smile that he shows for only a split second, then takes Miranda along to the dance floor.
....
Classical music is heard to lead people to dance with their respective partners on the dance floor.
Damar who was dancing while holding Nadia's waist had seen Rafa and Miranda dancing not far from them.
“Kukira Rafa 'will not dance.”
“Hah?”
Sontak Nadia turned her eyes to follow the direction of Damar's view. Her blue eyes narrowed in annoyance when she found her siblings dancing with a woman she didn't like.
“Bang Rafa dances with Senior Miranda.” Nadia still had her hands around Damar's neck. “Truly sucks...”.
“Somehow much do you not like Senior Miranda?” ask Damar in wonder. “If for example they are a match, how?”
Nadia grimaced at the thought of it. “.... I don't know, Mum. My hunch as Bang Rafa's blood brother tells me that Senior Miranda doesn't fit Bang Rafa at all. I have no problem Bang Rafa wants to be close to any girl, but who really love her as she is without being interested in all the advantages that she has. And it's almost impossible to find a girl that's that sincere.”
Damar understands. Based on the bad experience of Nadia who had been friends with hypocritical girls, of course the girls who want to be close to Rafa certainly only target the advantages of Rafa. Whether it is in terms of physical, intelligence, or an established family background.
Of course Nadia wants her brother to get a woman who is really sincere, willing to accept all the shortcomings of Rafa, and can be difficult together in all possibilities that are not legible. But baby, nowadays it's very difficult to get a woman that sincere. Damar who comes from ordinary people is lucky to get the heart of Nadia who comes from a rich family.
Chrysanthemum was almost made Nadia as a candidate, but was first treated Ardan. So, yeah, that's it. Toh Nadia also wishes the best for the love of her crazy cousin one.
“I know, your intentions are good, Nad.” Damar tried to advise, “But, about the soul mate is Rafa and God's business. Let him decide for himself who wants to be by his side. Or maybe now Rafa still has not thought to like girls. Our relationship is not really arranged Rafa, really. When did you manage her relationship? I know, Rafa's been a prankster all along, disturbing our closeness. He just wants to remind us not to overdo it.”
....
“Aw.”
“Aw.”
“Aw.”
Several times Ardan grimaced as his feet were trampled on by Chrysanthemums because he did not know how to dance. Ardan had tried to teach the girl, but still his footsteps were hard to direct. As a result, Ardan's legs have been hit several times.
“Sorry, Senior. I ‘kan earlier already said that I can not dance.”
“Iya.... How, yak? Than we stand bengong doang while watching the dance people,” alibi Ardan, whereas this moment he tried to take advantage of tuk closer to Chrysanthemum.
But what is power. Every time Ardan with Chrysanthemum, there must be some funny things happening, one of which is that the feet are not deliberately stepped on like this.
“Your feet are okay, Senior?” ask Chrysanthemum.
Ardan also replied, “Don't be stepped on, dilindes bulldozer even my feet will not be a prick. Quiet aja...”
Ardan's foot was stepped on this is certainly not a problem, it doesn't make him really sick. He was only uneasy, but was reluctant to tell Chrysanthemum, afraid that the girl would feel sorry for him.
“Oh, yes, Kris.” Ardan began to talk to get rid of the discomfort of his feet that hit the stampede. “You ever dated, not yet?”
The chrysanthemum immediately shook its head.
“Why?”
Chrysanthemum replied, “I'm not interested in dating. Waste of time, waste of energy, waste of money.”
“Aaa..”.
Come to think of it, it is also true that Chrysanthemum says.
As long as Ardan is dating his ex-girlfriend first, Ardan will definitely take the time to go out with them even to spend money.
Ardan became somewhat sorry because his time, energy, and money had been wasted on the wrong people. But, yeah, that's it. Just ikhlaskan. And also a life experience.
“So, you've never dated, so?”
The chrysanthemum nodded again.
“Then, for example, I want to date you. You want me to be your girlfriend?”
Chrysanthemum briefly looked right into Ardan's silver eyes, a stare that was plain, pure, and sincere with no ulterior intentions when interacting with him.
Ardan is very sure, Chrysanthemum is a good girl who will accept a guy no matter the circumstances. That's what makes Ardan interested in getting to know Chrysanthemum.
He is pure, and deserves to be guarded.
“Oil!”
Unexpectedly, Chrysanthemum even touched Ardan's eel.
“Learn first the real one. Don't think of dating,” said plain Chrysanthemum.
Ardan stroked his crested eel, while one hand was still holding the Chrysanthemum waist, trying to lead the girl to keep dancing.
Tuh, right. In moments like this, there must be something strange going on between them.
Indeed, Ardan is just a matter of asking, has not intended to express feelings for Chrysanthemum. But unexpectedly, the answer of Chrysanthemum will hit so.
It sounds like a mother's advice to her wayward child.
