Alone

Azzam has arrived at the boarding house, and he sees Likha still lying but has woken up from her sleep. His pale face smiled, and Azzam's heart trembled to see Likha's smile, making him feel sad. Azzam can feel how heavy the burden is now on him, and this girl is trying to be strong by forcing a smile. Azzam immediately hugged Likha's body, and it turned out that Azzam's guess was correct; Likha cried. He spilled everything that filled his heart. Likha's cry made Azzam hurt.

"Cry dear, let out everything that makes your heart tight. I will be your pedestal now, you can tell me anything." Azzam stroked Likha's hair gently. Likha's heartfelt calm now. Slowly the crying subsided.

"Thank you Azzam, sorry for bothering you, hhmmpptt...." Likha was about to continue her words, but Azzam first covered Likha's mouth with his lips. Azzam licked his lover's lips lovingly as if he would replace Likha in her pain.

Both of them spilled their sadness. Likha was sad because she lost her parents, while Azzam was sad to see her lover like this; even Likha got sick and fainted.

"Honey, let's eat first, I'll feed you." Azzam opened the plastic bag he was carrying. Azzam bought two packs of rice and side dishes. Likha really likes rice with fried chicken as a side dish. Meanwhile, Azzam likes beefsteak as a side dish. "Thank you Azzam, when are you coming back from Bandung?" Likha did not see Azzam for four days. When Azzam's hand-fed a spoonful of rice, Likha immediately opened her mouth. Right now, he only felt hungry when he saw Azzam.

"I just arrived when I called you, it was Keenand who picked up and told me that you passed out and were in the infirmary." Azzam returned to feed his lover's mouth. Azzam loves Likha very much, and the more he comes, the more he loves her. There is an intention to marry the girl to take care of her, but will her parents allow it. While Azzam is still in college and Likha is still in high school. Especially now that Likha has no relatives, but seeing Likha like this, Azzam becomes worried. He was afraid that Likha didn't care about herself.

"Azzam, is it okay if we stay here alone?" Likha is afraid to be alone with Azzam. Without realizing it, Likha's rice had run out. Azzam smiled.

"Likha, do you really love me?" asked Azzam suddenly. Likha was a bit surprised, but she then smiled.

"Of course Azzam, if I don't love you how can I accept you to be my girlfriend." Likha then asked Azzam for mineral water, as well as taking medicine. Then she lay down again, but now she was lying on Azzam's thigh. At the same time, Azzam was eating his rice.

"Honey, if I married you now would you like it?" Likha immediately got up and sat away from Azzam. His eyes widened at Azzam's words just now.

"What do you mean? We're still too young, besides I haven't thought of going there, mas. I still want to continue my schooling, also if possible I want to go to college too. I want to realize the dream of my parents who want their daughter to be successful in the future. It seems to marry me haven't thought about it." Likha refused Azzam's request, which immediately sighed heavily.

"But I want always to take care of your dear. I will also keep you in school. We will live our days, as usual; the only difference is our status. You will also remain in the dorm, and I will also be in a mess. We will only be together when we are together." just a vacation? do you still not want?" Azzam asked his girlfriend, who looked very confused.

"What about your parents and your family? It's easier for me because I don't have any relatives, but it will be very troublesome if you are. Not necessarily your parents will accept me alone." Likha lay down and turned her back on Azzam; she had not known Azzam for too long. What about his parents, then the rest of his family?" Likha never imagined getting married this young, and she still wants to go to college and work.

"But it will make it easier for me to take care of you Likha, if it continues like this what will happen if you get sick again?" Azzam understands Likha very well; she can't take care of himself. Especially when his heart was sad like now, she did not ignore his health until she fell ill.

"But can your words be trusted? are you going to let me stay in school and continue living in the dorm life?" after Likha thought about Azzam's words, her heart melted a little, but she had to confirm everything again. She will not make the wrong decision.

"Of course, you can keep my word. I'm a man of promise, so you don't have to worry." Azzam smiled; he was sure Likha would soon be his.

"Okay,Azzam, please discuss this with your parents. If they allow and approve of us, I want to marry you, but on one condition. My friends also Keenand should not know that we are married, let them think we are just dating, how about ?" Actually, Likha doesn't feel good; who is she to give such conditions? Isn't it very fortunate that Azzam wants to take care of her? But Likha's consideration is also not completely wrong if the school knows. She would definitely be expelled from school.

"Okay, later after the Asr prayer, I will go home and talk to them." Azzam feels he has won from Likha; he feels happy. Soon, Likha will be his. The two then lay down on the bed, but both were silent and turned their backs on each other. They are busy with their own thoughts. The Asr call to prayer sounded, Azzam and Likha prayed in the congregation, and then Azzam said goodbye to Likha to return to her parents' house.

"Honey, you take care of yourself, mas will be back tomorrow. So if you want to eat later you just order online, don't forget to take the medicine and you are ready. Soon, you will be mine." Azzam's gaze made Likha shudder in horror, Likha remembered when Azzam and herself climbed some time ago, and it scared her a little. His face immediately changed while Azzam hid his smile.

"Yes,Azzam, you be careful .." Likha kissed Azzam's hand, and they parted; after Azzam's departure, Likha immediately closed the door to her room. She didn't know anyone here, so she felt a little scared. She also didn't worry about food because Azzam brought a lot of things. Still enough to fill his stomach until Azzam returns tomorrow. After all, she didn't really have much of an appetite at the moment either. His mind was troubled. She was confused about what he would face after this. Was his decision right, or was he too hasty and too indulgent?

"Aakkhhhh....Father, mother? Did I do the right thing?" Likha is feeling frustrated now. She then lay down and slept. Likha really felt dizzy.
