Because I Have A Strange Feeling For You

Club Red Rose, City M

Grip!

Gretta looked at the man holding her arm with a casual expression, then tried to let go of the grip but couldn't.

"What do you want?" Gretta asked without naming the man, who now finally looked up and looked straight at her.

Please, don't look at me like that, Chiko, she continued to herself.

"Gre-

"Nanda, my name is Nanda, Chiko. Didn't I tell you not to interfere with my decision?" interrupted Gretta quickly, when Chiko was about to call her real name.

Chiko shook her head, rejecting what Gretta had said to "No, to me you are still Gretta. I don't want you to enter a world like this, your future is still long and can shine more, please...."

Stubborn, why do you have to be like this, you even just know me, Gretta thought to restrain herself from batting an eyelid

She hardened her heart, by rejecting the grip and holding her chest, looking at Chiko with a crooked smile.

"The future? What kind of future do you mean now Chiko?" Gretta asked playfully, as if belittling what Chiko said to her.

"You are still young."

"Ana was young too, but at that time no one was who saved her from a snare like this. Let's just say, if I'm balancing our positions to be equal," Gretta said casually, pretending not to care.

"If it's still about 500 million, I can give it to you guys to pay the hut-

"Shut up!"

Chiko stopped for a moment from his words, he looked at Gretta who looked back at him angrily. Not to mention with that flushed face, it seemed that he was already annoyed that he was too involved and tried to prevent the woman from canceling her intention to become a night entertainer.

"Shut up! And can you just pretend you don't know me at all?" Gretta snapped in annoyance, this time really annoyed that she didn't accept it, when Chiko underestimated that amount of money.

Where did this man in front of her get that much money, if he only worked as a bodyguard?

No, Gretta wasn't looking down on Chiko. She just wanted Chiko to stop being stubborn and follow what she had decided.

"I admit that I still need you for my unfinished identity. However, if you feel you have an important role in my life just for helping. I will say thank you and that way you can stop helping me from now on. Leave me alone with my choices, " added Gretta, increasingly cruel when Chiko was silent and stared at him blankly.

"No, I can't," Chiko refused firmly, he shook his head vigorously as if he really didn't agree with Gretta's request to him.

"Why?"

"Because I started to notice you."

Thump!

"Because I have a strange feeling every time I see you."

Thump! Thump!

"Because I-

"Stop! Don't continue!"

This time Gretta quickly interrupted Chiko's words. She couldn't bear to hear this statement, moreover she had already decided not to accept, even dreamed of having someone who came to express love like this to her.

Even though it was Chiko, a good man she considered like a brother since the first time they met.

"Why? Is it because I'm not rich like a guy who's-

Plaque!

A slap landed on Chiko's left cheek, the man's face turned with a slight throb of pain.

Yes, it didn't hurt compared to her throbbing heart.

Gretta herself stared blankly at her trembling hands, she covered her lips and brought Chiko to a more closed side when she heard the sound of someone approaching her.

Then Chiko, the man seems to have forgotten his duty as a bodyguard who secures the location where he works. Instead, he was busy awakening a new entertainer, when he was about to serve VIP guests according to the boss's orders.

Chiko just gave up when she was brought by Gretta to the corner of the corridor, a closed place and certainly escaped the attention of people passing through this corridor.

After that, Gretta unlinked her hands and looked at Chiko with regret painted on her face.

Really, she didn't mean to slap Chiko on the cheek on purpose.She was only already angry when the man finally gave her a cruel look.

She hadn't even started her job yet, but this man had already connected her refusal to that.

"I'm not going to apologize for the slap earlier," Gretta said flatly, breaking the silence between them.

"I don't need your apology, I-

"Chiko, please listen to me."

This time Gretta interrupted Chiko's words more gently, even holding her hand against the cheek that had been slapped, then she rubbed it as lightly as a cotton ball over and over.

And Chiko didn't answer, she just kept quiet. -silently fell asleep and closed his eyes with his heart beating faster. His cheeks even turned red even though for a different reason.

"I just want to live with Geana with the same status. Really, it was easy for me to get the money, if I wanted to. But, I just want to be with Geana without any 'I'm better than her' view, especially my job status."

Gretta started to explain slowly, there was no hint of rudeness or rudeness in every word. Even Chiko, who was against the woman's wishes from the start, was silent, thinking back over what Gretta had said to him.

"I just want so much in my life to live what I chose for myself. From the first, I always followed what my grandmother and mother had dictated."

"Do you also want to be like them, by going against my decision, Chiko?"

The question was the last thing Gretta said, she stopped the stroking on the cheek and pulled back her arms straightened on either side of his body.

"Answer me, Chiko," added Gretta urging, so that the man who was standing and silent in front of her immediately answered with clarity.

Chiko slowly brought his gaze to the blue eyes, swallowing saliva as the radiance he saw felt different.

"I don't want to be like them."

This short answer from Chiko was enough to make Gretta who heard it smile in her heart, satisfied.

"I know you must be like that, Chiko."

"I also can't stop you from doing something that you've already decided," added Chiko, looking back at Gretta straight, desperate. "But, I can't if I have to pretend I don't know you. I can't stay away from you," he continued and Gretta was made aware again, if the feelings that the man in front of her had would not be easily erased.

However, she couldn't accept it, because she had promised herself not to give her love. What's more, Chiko was just a brother to her.

"I can't-

Shhh....

Chiko quickly put her long index finger on Gretta's rose-colored lips, enough to make the master of lips pause and stare at her in shock.

"I see, accepting my presence while still letting me be by your side, that's enough for me."

Thump!
