"Felix, you already have a girlfriend huh?" Alice asked.
"N-not yet?" Felix looked panicked.
"Then who is this ring for?"
"That's for...." Felix scratched his head, he was confused to answer Alice's question.
"Come on, confess? Don't lie to me!" forced Alice in a mocking tone to Felix.
Felix immediately grabbed the ring box from Alice's hand.
"Here it's mine!" Felix snorted, and the man walked away leaving Alice.
"Felix! Felix! Where are you going?!" cried Alice.
But Felix paid no heed to Alice's screams.
"Well... he's mad huh?" Alice looked regretful. The woman sat on the sofa with pouting lips. On the table were still two cups of coffee neatly lined up. Even Felix hasn't touched his coffee at all.
Alice immediately grabbed the cellphone to call Felix, she felt uneasy if she had to be quiet with Felix.
She was sure that Felix was in trouble, therefore Felix became easily offended.
Even though Felix, whom she knows, is a humorous man and is never offended even though she has been teased in any way.
Alice immediately grabbed her cell phone and texted Felix.
***
Drt...
The phone vibrated, Felix stopped in his tracks.
He unlocked the screen and read Alice's incoming message.
[Felix, I'm sorry if my joke was too much. Please don't be mad at me, I don't have any close friends besides you. If you're mad at me, who am I with?] Alice wrote in the message.
Felix smiled after reading the message. He was also confused why he had to be this angry with Alice?
Even though Alice didn't do anything wrong to him?
After all, he wanted to give the ring to Alice.
Felix turned around, and he stopped at a nearby mini market, where he bought some snacks. After that Felix returned to Alice's house.
***
Alice was still pensive on the sofa, her face sad.
She repeatedly glanced at the cellphone screen and hoped that there would be a message from Felix.
But unfortunately, the message she sent was only read by Felix, and the man didn't reply at all.
"Felix, read my message but didn't reply. Felix is really angry..." Alice muttered.
It wasn't long before someone knocked on the door.
Tok! Tok!
"Ah, that's for sure, Sea!" Alice immediately stood up.
Celek!
"Felix?!" Alice looks happy that Felix is back again.
And the man barged into Alice's house without waiting to be invited.
And he put a big bag of snacks on the table.
"Felix, what's that?"
"Snacks!"
"That's a lot? Do you want to eat it now?"
"No, I will wear it next year!"
"Serious?"
"Hmm... Alice..." Felix sighed in annoyance.
"Yes, I will eat it now, with you, Alice!" Felix said.
"Ow," Alice smiled.
She was so happy, because she thought Felix would be red to her, but wasn't. And instead, the man came to her with lots of light snacks.
"Come on, what are you waiting for, let's eat!" said Felix.
And immediately Alice grabbed one of the treats and opened the package.
"Felix, you're not mad at me, are you?" Alice asked as she chewed on her potato chips.
"No! Why am I angry?"
"Yeah, who knows! You ignore my calls," Alice complained.
"I was in a hurry!" denied Felix.
"Really? Is it really necessary to buy snacks in such a hurry?" Alice asked.
"Because I'm afraid of running out?" Felix answer.
"Is there a discount?"
"Yes!"
"But I don't see any discount promotions at the store ahead?" Alice protested.
Felix looked dizzy when he heard Alice's question.
"Ah! Alice, you're asking a lot of questions, I'm dizzy?"
"Haha, sorry...."
They both looked engrossed in drinking coffee while enjoying the snacks that Felix bought.
Seeing Alice who was very happy, and seemed to be eating the snack, made Felix happy too.
"Alice, do you like it?"
"Yes!"
"Your happiness is that simple huh?"
Alice immediately turned to Felix.
"Why talk like that?"
"I mean, is it true that you just want to be alone in this town?" Felix asked.
"Felix ... I still don't understand your question!" snorted Alice.
"Alice... don't you want to have another partner?"
"Hmm?" Alice turned back to Felix with wide eyes.
"W-w-why do you ask me that?"
"You just have to answer it, Alice! No need to ask back!"
"Ah...." Alice immediately withdrew her potato chips while snorting in annoyance.
"Well, it seems so, Felix. I'm not ready for a more serious relationship. I'm afraid that the man I love will cheat like Carlos," Alice concluded with sad eyes.
"Alice, I need to emphasize to you. That not all men are like Carlos. I'm sure there are still men who truly sincerely love you," Felix said, looking at Alice seriously.
"Really? But I can't believe it. I thought all men were the same!" Alice explained.
"You can't be like that, Alice. If that's the way feel sorry for men who have a sincere heart, you've beaten their loyalty equally. Even though it's clear that each individual has a different nature," Felix said with a look that seemed objected.
"Felix, why are you talking like that? You're defending the male race, aren't you?"
"Eh, it's not like that but—"
"Felix! Come on tell me! You look weird lately!" Alice insisted.
Felix really couldn't stand it anymore to keep this feeling any longer. But Felix still hesitated to tell the truth that he liked Alice.
He was afraid of being rejected and it was precise because of this that Alice would stay away from him.
"Felix! Come on tell me!" snapped Alice. "Don't just shut up! I know you're hiding something from me!" Alice insisted.
"Come on, Alice, let's not talk about it anymore," said Felix, lowering his head.
"Eh, you can't! Anyway, you have to be honest with me!" Alice keeps forcing Felix to be honest with her, even though Felix keeps refusing.
"Come on, Felix! What are you hiding from me, otherwise I'll be furious!" Alice threatened with a serious face.
Felix finally admitted it. After all, in the end, he had to tell Alice the truth.
Felix slowly took Alice's hand and looked deeper into the woman's eyes.
"Alice, I've had this feeling for you for a long time. It's just that I hesitate to say it,"
"What do you want to talk about, Felix?" Alice asked.
"Alice, I love you!" Felix said.
Instantly Alice's eyes widened.
She didn't expect Felix to say this to her.
"Are you kidding me?" Alice asked still in disbelief.
"No, Alice, I'm speaking the truth,"
