My Missing Girl

6. finally

            After more than three hours, Mr. Jo's lecture was finally over. Literary art lectures are like this, it seems trivial. But it's very complicated, like today. The lecture material is only about the line, but discussed is about, the meaning of the line, the shape of the line, why the shape is the line straight? What does the meaning of the deflected line look like? And so on.

 Hannah, who intends to listen to the material, becomes sleepy and lazy to listen. Luckily she was able to hold it, otherwise, today's class could be a drooling island by Hannah.

Hannah left the class with her light steps, she was happy because she is going to be home and she can to continue her sleep show.

 But the cry of someone who called her name made Hannah spontaneously look up, and answer "Yes, Hannah is here" she replied spontaneously, as she used to when she was called by her friend.

 But how surprised she was when Hannah found out who called her. The man approached her and said "Let's eat together, aren't you free today?" the man asked.

Sassy, the man grabs Hannah's hand and shakes Hannah away with her. And Hannah was such a fool of people, getting such treatment she just kept quiet without being rejected. Like most drama scenes, she is only astonished without denial when invited by the main male co-star. Just like Hannah's situation is now.

 Even to her destination, Hannah remained silent. Until the man outing his a noise that makes Hannah realize, "What are you  want to eat, Hannah?"

 "Heh -" replied Hannah like a fool, a scene of absurd drama that Hannah repeats. Doing something that doesn't make sense will automatically happen when it's empty.

 "What's wrong with you?"

 Hannah just shook her head and smiled stiffly, she's awkward now. Oh, really.

 "Are you okay when I ask you to eat together?"

Although her face is calm to the maximum, it's obvious her face feels a little awkward. But in her heart, she swears cruelly. Hannah's inner self says "You're crazy, didn't he take me by force. But why you ask now?"

Hannah only smiled stiffly for the umpteenth time while responding to Alex's rant. Yaps the man was Mr. Alex who accidentally met Hannah while in the hospital at the time. the encounter began with the scene because of an accidental collision that left one of the opponents injured. Thus attracting the sympathy of other opponents to take responsibility for his mistakes.

 "Do you have a business to do with me?" asked Hannah in her nervous voice. After so many seconds he was silent, he finally dared to open his voice.

 "No, I just wanted to take you out to eat. Is that wrong?" replied Alex from Hannah.      

 Hannah didn't expect Alex to have this kind of personality. Because this tall man looks from the outside looks very damnable.

            ***

            Somewhere strange and far from home. There's someone busy with his computer, opening an e-mail from someone who's not contacted him for a long time. He opened the message and read it seriously,

 When he finished confirming the contents of the letter, the man took his cell phone and contacted someone,

 "He called me again, do we have to accept it?" said the mystery man with his grin.

 As the night wind began to blow, Hannah's body was rustling over her. Tonight Vancouver is cold- it's cold, it's evident with Hannah's shivering body not being strong because of the cold tonight. Even though she was already wearing her sweater and a thick jacket, but still it could not protect Hannah from this cold tonight.

 State-sensitive Alex towards the situation he immediately puts his coat on Hannah's tiny body.

 And of course, Alex's spontaneous behavior toward Hanna made her freeze again for the first time. This guy is so random, at first glance he's a cold guy. But if it's close like this, Alex is very considerate.

 Hannah and Alex's relationship became close after their random chat a few hours ago. Hannah is the type of person who is easily fascinated by his handsome and charming looks and smooth speech. And it's all owned by Alex, so she's bewitched by all the charm Alex has.

"What are you doing?" asked Hannah after being struck by her daydreams.

 "Give you warmth?" replied Alex in his ambiguous voice.

 Hannah's almost getting carried away, luckily she's sane right now. As a result, she managed to control herself. "I don't need to, you just wear it yourself. I've got my jacket." Hannah rejects Alex's good intentions, she hands over Alex's coat. But Alex quickly forbade Hannah from removing the coat he had worn for Her.

 "I think you need it more than I do."

 "You put yourself on, your jacket," Hannah said again,

 "No, Hannah. You need more than me" replied Alex firmly.

 "I don't need Alex"

"Or do you want me to hug you?"

 Alex's words were able to keep Hannah quiet. She can't say anymore. Alex's remarks just were a sentence Hannah couldn't deny. That's why Hannah prefers to shut up, and just accept it.

 Ahh yes, it looks like Hannah will pull the words. When she says that Alex having a subtle speech, proves it's only just an illusion from Hannah. Therefore Hannah will draw those words again and she will not pin them as an impression for Alex from her.

 "Where have you been, Al?" asked James, blocking the friend who had just returned home.

 "You don't need to know" replied Alex.

 James grunts, why Alex is being cold to him. Even though a few weeks ago he still remembers very well if Alex begged for mercy from him. But why is this iceman coming back?

 James is afraid if Alex has a double personality or maybe Alex is a psycho?.

"You're a lunatic," James said, he hates Alex's behavior, after he saying that. James immediately left his friend alone in the living room of his home.

 "James?" called Alex when James want going.

 However James ignores Alex's call, he is better gone off than being upset with Alex later. Upon arrival in the room James grumbled, he was emotional because of Alex's bad attitude. He's up in my home!! Why would he behave like that? Makes James want to just kick him out.

 Fortunately, James was patient and kind so he didn't kick Alex out of his residence.

 A knock on the door was heard from outside James' room, but James ignored it because he knew who the man was. He doesn't want to deal with Alex because of Alex's annoying attitude. whereas he wants to give attention to Alex but he was responded like that.

 "James is asleep, please don't be disturbed," said James like he was stupid.

 The stupidest response of the century. If you don't want to, James shouldn't have to answer. Why say something as not important as that.

 Alex just exhales out there, he's not doing anything. But he doesn't like it too much when his business is taken care of by other people. Even though James is his best friend, James is still someone else for Alex. Because according to Alex, his personal affairs are only self-consumption not for others. That's why he doesn't like James' attention which Alex thinks is too much.

 "When you calm down, please call me. I want to tell you something."

 Like the genie in Aladin, suddenly James emerged from behind the door with his smudging face. He forgot about Alex's behavior a few minutes ago. He needs gossip ammunition, so he gets rid of his angry ego, and chooses to go through Alex's wishes because James is curious about what Alex wants to say. 

 "Come on in, and tell me everything," said James as he prepared Alex to go into his room.
