Chapter 31

"What did you say? We can both sleep here in your room?!" Furi's eyes almost widened in shock when Matt told him, that they would be sleeping next to each other tonight in the same room.

They both decided that they would stay at his parent's house for two weeks. However, the girl did not think that they would sleep together in her old room.

His bed is not that big. Just right for one person. That's why the girl is also worried, how can she sleep with him next to the bed.

"Why? What's wrong? We're both lovers. Besides, I won't do anything bad to you. It's okay if you think otherwise." The young man smiled knowingly as he sat on the bed and just looked at his bride's face.

Furi swallowed deeply and was very nervous. He also couldn't seem to look directly at the young man, so he retreated and stuck to the wall.

"What are you doing there? Let's go to sleep." He invited her and lay down on the bed. Furi looked at him slightly but he also turned away as soon as he noticed that he was already lying down.

If only I had known that this would happen, I wish I would have just come home to us. The girl whispered in her mind.

"What are you doing there? Come on, lie down."

"A-it's fine. You can go to sleep first, because I'm not sleepy yet." He just said and he was obviously nervous. The young man got up from the bed and watched her from head to toe. Furi noticed him, so he immediately covered his future with both arms.

He grinned at her and stood up.

"Just a moment.." he approached the girl and locked her against the wall, using his two arms. Furi's eyes widened in shock and he didn't blink. Matt bowed his head and brought his face closer to the girl.

"What do you really think I'm going to do to you? Is it like this?" after saying that he was about to kiss her on the lips, but he also stopped immediately when he noticed that the girl's eyes were closed, so she just smirked.

When he heard a giggle from the young man in front of him, he immediately opened his eyes and noticed that he was laughing at him.

"If only you could really see the look on your face earlier." He said and he was still laughing. Furi's face turned red in embarrassment. He just pushed her hard and she lay down on the bed. He covered himself with a blanket and bit his lower lip when he thought of the shameful thing he had done in front of her.

"Great, just now I laughed so hard I could hardly breathe from laughing." He said more. Furi kept quiet and forced himself to go to sleep.

The young man rubbed his eyes because he was laughing so much earlier. He approached the girl for a moment and lifted her head, placing it on his pillow.

"Don't worry. I have no bad intentions towards you. Go to sleep there, goodnight." After saying that, he left the room and went to the living room, to sleep there.

When Furi heard the door close, he suddenly got up and turned around. He seemed to be wondering why he slept there next to him.

So he thought of getting up and peeping from outside the room. He slowly opened the door and saw her lying on the sofa.

He closed the door again and leaned back. He just held his chest and let out a deep breath. His mood suddenly seemed to lighten when he left the room and left him alone.

He trusts Matt that he will not do anything bad to him. But what he was more concerned about was himself. He thought that he might have done something bad to the young man, especially since his body quickly warmed up every time he came near him.

He then remembered when he kissed her inside the hospital. That he was almost clinging to his shoulder and it was as if he didn't want to hold back any longer. If only Matt hadn't stopped him then, maybe the relationship between the two of them would have gone deeper.

He sat on the bed again and held his lips. There was a part of his heart that was eager to feel his sweet kiss again.

Matt kissed differently. He said this in his mind. It's almost as if his soul is being overtaken and he's intoxicated by a romance he can't describe. It's just, it's like she's tempting him to give up his body without him realizing it.

That's why he avoided the young man earlier, even though he was just joking. It gives him a strange sense of happiness that he can hardly contain, even himself.

Despite the sailing in his mind. He didn't realize that he had closed his eyes and fell asleep.

UNTIL the morning came. A fragrant smell woke him up. When he opened his eyes, he suddenly fell on the bed, when he saw Matt just staring at him.

"Good morning, my princess! You're already awake. It's eight o'clock in the morning." He said firmly with a smile on his lips.

"Ouch!" he groaned as he held his head as he fell head first.

"Furi, Matt! come on, breakfast is served." Said the lady opposite the door and left immediately.

"What time is it? And by the way, what are you doing there? Early in the morning, you're scaring me." Furi said, removing the mutta from the corner of his eye.

"Scared? With my handsome face, it's just a scary face to you?" he joked as Furi threw a pillow at his face. The girl looked at the wall clock for a moment and was surprised to notice that it was past eight o' clock.

"Omg! It's eight o'clock! I'm late for my class." He suddenly moved and closed the door. He suddenly took off his top and threw it somewhere.

The young man was shocked by what he saw, so he immediately turned his back and faced the wall.

"I'm late, I'm late!" he said confused and went inside the bathroom.

Matt was almost stunned and his eyes didn't blink. He swallowed deeply and felt suddenly warm. Especially when he heard the shower pouring from the bathroom and Furi singing in it.

He clenched his fists and was very nervous. A few moments later, the girl came out of the bathroom, while her whole body was covered with a white towel that was only stuck to her armpits.

He stopped immediately when he noticed that Matt was still in the room with his back turned to him. Suddenly he screamed loudly. That's why the young man was surprised and confused.

"Why, why? what happened?" he stood up and turned to the girl. He was shocked when he observed her from head to toe.

He was so scared that he screamed out loud and was confused about what to do, whether he should just turn his back or cover his eyes.

"Why are you still in here?! Are you teasing me, huh!? Why aren't you answering that!" said the girl as she threw anything she could touch around her.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about? It's you who suddenly took off your clothes in front of me!" he replied covering his face. The girl was even more annoyed by what he said. So he picked up the buddah figurine next to him and was about to throw a stone at the young man but he immediately stopped him.

"Don't do that! That's going to hurt. That's why it hurts more when you throw stones at me." He stopped and bit his lower lip, his two arms at the same time.

"You already know that I undressed earlier but you didn't even say a word or even leave the room? And you really waited for me to finish taking a shower?" he said smiling. The young man lowered his hand and looked at the girl.

"Didn't I tell you that I have no other intention to do with you?"

"What are you doing now? Are you just tripping to do this to me?" He raised his eyebrows curiously at the young man.

"Not like that, Furi."

"Stay there! don't come any closer!"

"But, I just want to.."

"Just said you were there!" he shouted, so he stopped and looked away from her. The girl just walked towards the door when the white towel covering her body was suddenly removed. He was stunned and surprised. The young man turned to her just in time and his mouth opened wide when he saw her naked body.

"AAAaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!" they both screamed at the same time. Matt just backed away but he hit the foot of the bed so he fell down and lay on the floor.

While Furi suddenly picked up the towel that fell on the floor and ran into the bathroom.

Due to the loud shouting of both of them, his parents were alarmed and the lady entered the room.

"Matt, Furi! what's going on with the two of you? and why are you still lying there on the floor, Matt? haven't you eaten yet? Your breakfast is already served on the table, you two are already out there. By the way, where is Furi? " the young man was just looking at the ceiling and gently raised one of his hands, at the same time pointing his finger to where the girl was.

"Ahh, taking a bath? but what time is it, won't he be late for his class?" he asked but she didn't answer him and just shook her head.

"Oh hey, you two get out of there. It's bad to wait for the food." Said the lady and closed the door again.

The young man was still almost dumbfounded by what he saw earlier. He couldn't believe it and felt like he was running a fever from the heat he felt in his body.

He simply glanced around him and crawled open the door, he went out at the same time.

Meanwhile, Furi was confused inside the bathroom and was constantly gnawing on his finger. He was pacing and restless.

Until he thought of peeking from outside the bathroom and noticed that the young man was no longer there. So he ran to the door and locked the door.

It was only there that he breathed a sigh of relief as he leaned across from her.

Hey! Furry! why did you even think of going out the door earlier! What do you think you will present to him now? when he has seen everything in you! he said annoyed to himself and hit his head.

After a while, he left the room. He was wearing a uniform and a hat. The lady seemed to shake her head when she saw him.

"Furi, are you okay?" he said to the girl when he noticed that her face was covered by the hat she was wearing.

"It's fine." He responded nervously.

"Come and eat. What time it is, you're late! You really are a child." The girl suddenly looked at the clock and realized that it was nine o'clock in the morning. He almost panicked and just picked up a piece of bread, shoving it whole into his mouth.

"Oh, take it easy or you'll choke." Said the lady as she handed him a glass of milk. The young woman drank it immediately without a brake.

"Wait a minute, where's Matt?" when he heard what he said, Furi suddenly spilled the milk he was drinking and spilled it on the floor. The lady was surprised at him and just got a wet wipe.

"I-I'm aunt." At the same time, he grabbed the rag from her hand and wiped it on the floor. The lady just picked up a tissue at the same time she wiped the girl's mouth and her neck that was stained with milk.

"I'll take care of this, go ahead! Go away, you'll be late for that." He said to the girl and she also stood up immediately.

"I'm really sorry, Tita. I'll come back later." After saying goodbye, he went out immediately and rode a tricycle, so that he could go to school faster.

When the lady stood up, she suddenly shook her head with a look of surprise on her face and turned around.

"Wait, why didn't he bring Furi? where is that boy?" he wondered to himself and went into the kitchen, while he put the plates on the table.

"Are you okay? You've been dazed there for a while, huh?" Tanya asked him when she noticed that he didn't feel like eating and was just staring at the hamburger he was holding.

"Don't you want that? It's up to me if you don't." Kiko jokingly said to him and took the food in his hand but Nasher immediately stopped him, hitting him in the hand.

He just looked at his friend and took another bite of hamburger.

"Do you want anything else to eat besides this?" Nasher asked Furi gently.

"Why? You're free?" Tanya raised her eyebrows at him.

"Are you the one I'm talking to?" when he said he just stared at him and ignored him.

"Me, Nash. Aren't you going to ask?" Kiko squealed at him again at the same time he just pushed him on the forehead with one of his fingers.

"It's fine, guys. I'm just not in the mood right now." Suddenly, Furi spoke so the three of them turned to him.

"Wait a minute, did you and your boyfriend fight again?" Tanya was curious.

"Boyfriend? Who has a boyfriend? Him? (He points to Furi) Oh! You thought he had a boyfriend too?" mocked the mischievous young man Kiko, but his friend Nash just pinched him in the ear.

"Good for you." Tanya promised in a whisper as she flicked her tongue at the young man. He was about to stand up to retaliate, but Nash turned to him with defiance in his eyes. He sat down again and silently glanced at Tanya.

"Furi, just tell me what's bothering you. You know we can help you." Nash just said with a smile on his lips.

"Help? What help can you give him? You only know how to do nonsense." Tanya listened to the two young men but didn't pay attention to him anymore and looked at Furi again.

"Honestly, I want to tell the three of you but I don't even know how to start." The girl answered weakly and bowed again.

"Don't worry, Furi. No matter how long it takes, we're ready to listen to you. Even if it takes us until dawn here, right?" at the same time he turned to the two young men and widened his eyes. Furi looked at Nasher with apprehension. Because this is a man, that's why he is ashamed to tell the story of what happened to him and Matt inside the room.

"Okay, okay. But promise not to tell anyone else about this and also promise not to laugh, huh?" he said and the four started laughing at the same time. He almost let out a deep breath and started telling the story.

"That's because..."

**************************

"What?!"

"What?!"

"Oh my goodness!"

The three had almost the same reaction when they heard Furi's whole story. Nasher almost stopped sucking on the straw, while Kiko's jaw dropped when he heard it and Tanya's eyes widened in shock.

The four were silent for a moment, while the girl looked around at the three in front of her now. A few moments later, the silence surrounding them was suddenly broken when Kiko laughed loudly, while Tanya and Nasher burst out laughing and just covered their mouths while suppressing their laughter.

Furi bit her lower lip and bowed her head again. He just touched his own forehead with his two hands.

The two continued to laugh, but Nasher still refrained from laughing. Furi glanced at him for a moment and noticed that his whole face was red.

"Don't hold back. Laugh." After he said that, he laughed out loud as he pushed Kiko next to him on the shoulder. Because of their loud laughter, all the students who were with them inside the canteen turned to them and were curious.

The girl covers her face because of shame and regrets that she said the embarrassing thing that happened to her and Matt in the room.

Ays! Did I say they'll just laugh at me! I shouldn't have told them about it. It's really embarrassing! sailing the girl in his mind.

A few moments later, his three friends stopped laughing. They wiped and scratched the corners of their eyes because they were laughing so much earlier.

Furi just looked at them. Sip on a straw dipped in a glass of orange juice.

"Or what? are you guys done? can we get serious?" he was curious and looked around at the three. Kiko grinned again when he looked at her. Tanya did the same and just turned her back, while Nasher bowed and avoided looking at her.

"Okay, are you really going to do this to me? I'm not happy with you three anymore!" he stood up very annoyed but he also sat down immediately when some students turned to him.

"Furi, I'm sorry but I really can't face you right now." Tanya replied to him.

"Me too Furi, sorry." Kiko said next, at the same time he looked at Nasher who was just bowing in front of him.

"I'm sorry." That was the only thing the young man said on his lips.

He just let out a deep breath and drank his orange juice.

"Okay, okay. What do you want me to do? cover my face?" after he said that, Kiko bent down and took something from inside his bag. They turned to the young man and wondered what he was doing. He suddenly stood up and attached his black eye sunglasses to the girl's eyes, then put a face mask on her mouth.

The two almost laughed at what he did while Furi just looked up at him who just bowed to his two fists.

Kiko returned to his seat and sat down. The girl's gaze just followed him and no words came out of her mouth.

"Well, it's not bad anymore. I feel better." Tanya said as she gave the mischievous young man a thumbs up. The girl just grinned and did not remove her shades from her eyes.

"Oh you! are you all right?" he asked Nasher who suddenly looked at him and just nodded his head.

"You two? Have you come to your senses yet?" he pointed to Tanya and Kiko, they nodded their heads at the same time.

"By the way, I just wanted to ask. What did Matt do after that? I mean, the... you already know." Nasher was curious and he didn't mean to look at her chest but the girl covered it with her two arms.

"W-what are you looking at?" he pointed out. The young man immediately looked away from him and turned to Kiko next to him.

"You know, Furi. I'm also curious about what Nash asked you. What was your boyfriend's reaction, after he saw... you know, everything about you." Tanya asked the girl bluntly, but Furi just slapped her forehead with one hand and raised her head again.

"Guys, what kind of question is that? Well, of course he was surprised! Are you, when you see me undressed, won't you be surprised?" He suddenly turned and pointed at Nasher, which surprised him. He looked around them, at the same time he bowed and simply covered his face.

Furi also realized that what he said was a bit too loud, so he just covered his mouth.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" was all Tanya said as she looked back and forth between the two.

"But, if I'm your boyfriend, I'm not sure if I'll be happy or sad?" Kiko suddenly whined as he also looked at the girl's chest. Furi bowed and followed where his eyes were pointing. He stood up for a moment and approached the mischievous young man.

"W-why, why?" he said nervously but Nasher just grabbed him by both arms and the girl poked his eyes with her two fingers. Kiko almost screamed at what the two did and fell from his seat. The three just laughed at him as he watched them.

"You three also have a day with me." He whispered to himself. He was about to stand up when Nash suddenly offered him a hand. He looked up at the young man and a wide smile appeared on his lips, including his gums.

"Did I say, you are a true friend Nasher." Then she held on to his hand but immediately let go.

"Tang*! reach for my straw, it fell. I didn't tell you to hold my hand." The young man said to him at the same time he frowned and handed the straw that was just beside him.

"That's it, señorita!" she exclaimed but he just grinned at her and said,

"Your welcome, Kiko."

Furi and Tanya were leaving school when he caught the attention of a familiar man who was waiting for him outside.

"Why, Furi?" Tanya asked curiously when she noticed that she stopped walking and fell silent.

"Tanya, I'll go ahead of you bye!" she said goodbye and gently approached her boyfriend, Matt.

"Have you been there for a while?" he said smiling when he got close to the young man. He just looked at her and started walking. Furi frowned and followed him from behind.

The two of them were walking without saying a word until he suddenly stopped walking and the girl behind him bumped into him because his attention was focused on his cellphone.

"Ouch!" he said holding his forehead.

Matt turned to him with his two eyebrows together and his hands clenched.

"What the hell! you didn't look where you were going!" he stated angrily which shocked Furi. He frowned and wondered at the strange behavior he was showing her.

"What's wrong with him and he's being trampled on again?" she whispered to herself and walked again while she was still behind her boyfriend. He once again focused his attention on the cellphone in his hand. By chance, Matt turned to her and stopped walking again. The girl also stopped and raised her head.

"W-why?" she was nervous with his eyes and serious face. When a motorcycle suddenly sped by Furi's side, he was about to be hit by it if the young man hadn't grabbed his arm. He almost buried his face in his chest and was shocked by what happened.

"That's Bwiset huh? hey! take it easy!" Matt said angrily and shouted at the man on the motorcycle earlier.

Furi was stunned as he heard her heartbeat. He was on his side and one of his ears was on his chest, so he was amazed at the speed and strength of his heartbeat.

So, this is the sound of Matt's heartbeat. Amazing to hear! he said in his mind.

"Are you okay? Aren't you hurt?" she asked worriedly but he was paying attention to her and seemed to have his own preoccupation. He held it by the arm and moved it away from his chest, but he was shocked and surprised when it sank into his chest again.

"Just a moment, just a moment." Said the girl as she listened to his heartbeat.

"What are you doing? Get out of there and people are looking at us." He said and for a few moments it moved away from him.

"What's wrong with you? Are you starving?" he asked the girl while adjusting his t-shirt.

"Great! Matt, I just heard a real heartbeat!" he replied with a smile but the young man just grinned at him.

"You know, there are many ways to hear the sound of a heartbeat. You have a cell phone, don't you? Use it and search about it. It's not me you're experimenting with." He turned around and was about to take a step when Furi stopped him and held him by the hand. He stopped and turned to the girl.

"But, it's really different when you hear him in person. Listen." After saying this, the girl suddenly put one of Matt's hands on her chest.

"Do you feel it?" it asked him more. The young man's eyes widened in shock and turned around.

"Furi, what are you doing?!" he disobeyed and pulled his hand.

"Why? didn't you feel the pounding in my heart?" he said with a pitiful face.

Matt turned around them again and approached the girl.

"Yes, I didn't feel anything. Because you held me wrong earlier, the heart wasn't there." He said firmly but in a whisper to the girl, while she pointed to her other breast that Furi had touched earlier.

The girl seemed shocked by what he said and she quickly looked away from the boyfriend. He just passed by her and walked without looking back at her.

What are you, Furi! what are you really doing with your life? at first, you showed him what he shouldn't have seen! then now you put his hand on the wrong side! you are really going crazy. The girl was sailing in her mind, while bowing her head and holding one hand to her own forehead.

Matt seems to have noticed that this is a problem and his mind is wandering again, which is why he is not looking at what he is walking on. He just shook his head and approached the girl. He put his arm around her shoulder and just looked at what they were going through.

Furi was surprised and looked up at him. He didn't expect her to embrace him, after the embarrassment he did earlier.

"Don't look at me, focus on the road." It says that he is not looked at or looked at. He immediately faced the road but his cheeks suddenly turned red.

The two of them were about to cross the pedestrian lane when Matt turned to him. The young woman barely took two glances when she noticed that her cheeks were red.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? are you sick?" just as Furi turned around, Matt touched the girl's forehead. He was checking to see if there was something wrong with him, but he had no idea that it was because of him.

The girl's heart beat faster and stronger again. He observed her bright eyes, as well as her long eyelashes. He looked down at his piercing nose, until his attention landed on the young man's red lips. He kept biting his lip and seemed to be hungry.

"Furi, Furi can you hear me?" the young man had been talking to him for almost a while but he didn't seem to hear him either. When he suddenly placed his two palms on his shoulders and lifted his feet a little.

Matt was shocked and was just looking at the girl in wonder.

"Furi, what's wrong with you?" he was curious. He didn't answer her and just smiled at her, at the same time he kissed her on the lips which surprised her even more.

The people around them turned and looked at them. The green light signaled at the traffic lights. Some car drivers passed by and cheered them up. The two of them almost feel like every flow of time revolves around them alone. Matt immediately responded to the girl's lips and closed his eyes.

It seems that in those moments they don't care about what is happening around them. They don't care if other people laugh at them, make fun of them or judge them. They only think about what their hearts are screaming at those moments.

But despite the sweet smiles there is a hidden sadness and sorrow in the heart of someone who is secretly in love.

Where the young man Nasher was just standing, not far from where the two were. He just looked and clenched his fist. It was as if he had been stabbed directly in his heart. He just looked away and there were tears in his eyes.

He knew to himself that he shouldn't hurt her like that, even though he only felt admiration for the girl. But according to what he says and the pain from his heart, he sees more for it.

He turned back to the behavior of the two. He crossed the other road holding their hands. He just followed his gaze and tears suddenly fell from the corner of his eyes without realizing it.

Even he was surprised at himself and wiped away the stain of tears.

"W-what is happening to me now? Why am I doing this?" he asked himself and his tears continued to fall.

Suddenly, his best friend Kiko came and hugged him on the shoulder.

"What's up, bro? Will you free me?" he asked openly when he got close to the young man. He was still looking at the girl as she walked away from him. Kiko seemed curious and was shocked when he saw that she was crying.

"Bro, why are you crying?" when he heard what he said, that's when he came to his senses and looked at him.

"H-huh? are you saying something?" he turned to the mischievous young man.

"Bro, you don't have to cry there and look miserable just so I won't release you. Or him! Come on, I'll release you now. Are you happy?" He just frowned at what he said and there was a trace of surprise on his face.

"What are you talking about? I can't understand you." He is curious. Kiko took a handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped the tears from his eyes.

It was only then that Nasher realized that he had been crying without realizing it.
