Chapter 35 - Am I Cheating? (2) (1/2)

After my date with Senior Rizal ended, he sent me home personally. As usual, he would stop in front of my dorm, but that night, he parked his bike and got off. He stood tall in front of me. Looking at his unusual stature, I frowned.

Then, without saying anything, he pulled me into his embrace –this time, he hugged me tightly.

”Se-senior?” I called out to him.

”Thank you for today. I'm so happy with you. And I'm sorry. No matter what happened, I still love you.” He mumbled behind his helmet, but still clear on my ears. ”But, let's break up.” He said firmly.

*Thump...

I stiffened in his embrace. My heart started to beat irregularly. What did he say?

Break up?

”Ah, I can't do it. I am not willing to break up with you. How could I let you go? I take it back! I don't want to break up from you!” He said again, sounded unwilling to really break up with me.

Before I could react, he had pushed himself away from me, releasing his hug from me and turned to get on his bike. ”I need to go before I start to get any ideas again. Bye.” He smiled at me as he started the engine.

I nodded and waved at him as I watched him disappeared in the night. I had not had a chance to say any words to him at all and he just left me like that.

I took a deep breath and turned my heels to walk into the house of my dorm. The dorm was surprisingly quiet. It was like all of them were out at this particular time or had already fallen asleep. As my steps approached the stairs to the second floor, I could feel the chill air coming from the next floor.
