Together but not the same
Episode 8: Changed


...🍁🍁🍁🍁...


The sunlight had already pierced through the curtains in the room of a girl who was still sound asleep. Ara who was disturbed woke up from that beautiful sleep. He opened his eyes lazily. He saw the clock on the nightstand. It turned out to be 8 in the morning. Ara rounded her eyes. He forgot that he had a morning class today. Ara rushed up and ran to the bathroom. He must immediately prepare if he does not want his killer lecturer to scold him.


Ara is ready with a Sage green knit sweater. With a black tank top. Combined with a flower-patterned skirt with a length above the knee. The hair on the pigtail up makes it look casual and feminine.


Ara ran down the stairs. His mother saw him and called for breakfast first.


"Where are you going? You have to have breakfast first."


"I'm late mom. Later on campus. Bye mom." Ara waved her hand. Run to his favorite car. He must quickly arrive.


*****


Ara to the car park. He parked his car, picked up his bag and ran out to his class. He prayed that his teacher would not come. But when he entered the class he was surprised by the quiet atmosphere of the class.


"Where is everyone? Have they gone home?" Ara looked at her watch but it was still 9am. No way the class is done.


"What classes are closed? but there was no notice. I need to call Paola."


Ara took her phone and called her best friend.


"Where is your pattern? Is the class over?" Ask Ara.


"Didn't you see my message huh. All classes today are closed. There is a seminar held by the campus. So we are now gathering in the campus hall. I'm waiting for you."


Gosh darn. If Ara knew it would be like this. He will definitely have breakfast first. His stomach is sick. But Paola was waiting for him. Ara walked towards the hall. He didn't want Paola to lecture ya because he was long.


*****


Ara looked around the room, but did not find Paola. But when he looked at the chair in front of the stage. He saw Paola waving her hand at him.


Ara approached Paola and sat down on the chair beside Paola.


"Why are you late? Is the road jammed? Or you're the one who's hard to get out of bed." Paola. He knows his best friend's habit is very awake.


"Every night my family had dinner. So my sleep time is disrupted. Even now I haven't had breakfast." Adu Ara's. She did not want to tell Paola about her engagement.


"No problem. After this event is over we will go fill the stomach of the rumble. By the way do you know who's going to be the motivator?" ask Paola.


"Do you think I'm a psychic. You were even here before than I was."


When Paola wants to make a sound. The show started. The host gave a speech to the campus officials. Then followed by calling a motivator that will provide motivation to the participants of the seminar.


"Our current motivators come from very well-known companies. He is a young CEO. Butbut wait. He already has a lover. So ask the ladies not to expect more.


The people who came immediately laughed. But not with those students. They regret that the young CEO already had a lover.


"Well without any more linger. We welcome Xavier Julian Baxy. young CEO of Baxy Company."


Ara's eyes suddenly twisted to hear who was called. He then looked at Xavier who was walking to the center of the stage.


"I don't know if Xavier will be the motivator." Whisper Paola.


"I don't know either. He didn't even tell me if he was coming." Ara really doesn't know. Why was Xavier standing on that podium.


Xavier who felt noticed changed the direction of his gaze. He looked at each other with Ara. Uh. It feels so crowded. Last time I saw her at dinner.


Ara who felt that Xavier returned her gaze was wrong. It's busted. Piss blushed.


"Paola I went to the toilet for a while." Pamit Ara's.


Even Paola doesn't budge at all. Paola's only concern is Xavier.


*****


Ara entered the toilet. He washed his face. Why he met Xavier here. He has avoided that man. But God played him.


His stomach hurts too. Even his head started to hurt. Ara picked up her bag and immediately passed from there. He must fill his stomach immediately.


But in the middle of the road. His headache suddenly increased. He holds his head. His feet are also starting to go down. He could not stand up anymore. Body down. But before his body hit the cold floor, someone had already caught him. On the verge of his consciousness Ara looked at Xavier with a worried look on her face.


*****


After Xavier gave sentence after sentence to the participants. He ended the session and finished. He had to find Ara. How dare the woman ran away when she was busy giving material.


Xavier searched Ara for all corners of campus. But don't see Ara. But it's a place he hasn't been looking for. The toilet. Xavier stepped quickly toward the toilet. But after he turned he saw Ara walking with staggering.


Xavier saw Ara's body that was about to collapse. He ran with all his might so that he could catch the body. He then patted his lover's cheek gently. But the master did not wake up. Looks like Ara fainted.


Xavier holds Ara in bridal style. He hastened his steps. He doesn't want anything to happen to his girlfriend.


*****


Ara woke up with pain in her head. He looked at his hand and had an infusion attached there. He looked around the room. Looks like he's in the hospital. Who brought him here.


Suddenly the door of the room opened showing the figure of Xavier carrying a plastic bag.


"You're sober, honey? I found you passed out near the toilet. So I brought you here. The doctor said you're limp because you haven't eaten. He also said that you have a lot of thoughts." Xavier. He did not want his girlfriend to be sick. But look. Ara did not even think about her health.


"thank you. I'm afraid I'm late. So I didn't have breakfast this morning." Speak weakly. He's still very weak now.


"Now eat. I will feed you." said Xavier with a gentle look.


Ara felt something was wrong. Why was Xavier suddenly kind to him. Is it just because he is sick? Or because the old Xavier is back.


Ara ate that food crazily. She was hungry dance. Ara looked towards Xavier. I hope it is true that the old Xavier has returned. Unknowingly her tears were dripping.


Xavier looked at it in shock. Why did Ara suddenly cry. Has he done anything wrong?


"Hey. Why are you crying, baby? Does it feel so painful? I'll be here with you. You don't worry. Now finish your food. After that you can rest again." Xavier feeds Ara painstakingly. Let it be like this first. He misses his interactions like he used to with Ara. He also missed his girlfriend very much


Ara just nodded. It is impossible to refuse. Hopefully what he expects will happen.


May Xavier have no other intentions with my attention.
