Chapter 5 Stalker

"Hello everyone," Jacob said, waving his hand at the camera. His smile broke. "I brought someone to cheer you up."

Jacob then pointed at the man to his left. "Introduce, he is Javier. From now on, he will manage this Youtube channel with me."

The young man sitting next to Jacob also waved his hand, and greeted internet citizens, "Greetings and educational greetings, everyone!"

Julia, who had finished showering, rushed to watch her lover's live broadcast, even though she was still wearing a bathrobe. the girl is just too happy when the notification comes to her cellphone that she forgets that she hasn't put any clothes on.

"Hmm, their faces are a bit similar," muttered Julia on the sidelines of watching the video, still unclothed and wearing only a towel. "But my lover - Jacob is definitely more handsome!" he commented again as he continued to stare at the beautiful face of his lover with adoring eyes.

Apparently, Julia had fallen deeply into the charm of a Leckner man. a handsome man with thick, neat eyebrows - looking like a caterpillar with a charm that Julia couldn't afford to escape.

The girl was so focused on her love. until he did not know that his life was now in danger, because of the jealousy felt by his brother - Louis for him.

Julia is preparing herself for her second date with Jacob. Even though she often met face to face on the cellphone via video calls, Julia still felt nervous when she had to think that she would come face to face with her boyfriend.

For her second date, Julia chose a yellow short-sleeved shirt with a dark red collar. right in the middle of the girl's shirt chest, there is a picture of a rose blooming. He combined his appearance with jeans shorts above the knee.

Humming cheerfully, Julia replied to her boyfriend's message with a beaming face.

Her brown hair was just let loose. julia deterred using hairpicks, from now on he will only let his hair not tied like this. All because Jacob praised her at that time, and that made her very happy.

the girl has really changed drastically since getting to know the cellphone that made her lose track of time and find Jacob with her YouTube broadcast.

There is no longer a Peterson girl who is crazy to learn and doesn't talk much, now all that appears in public is a cute girl in love. julia is now so cheerful and energetic

Love can change everything, including the walls of ice that a person has built up high. The walls of the cold heart, all melted and turned into a warm, pleasant feeling.

jacob and Julia set up an appointment at a movie theater near the football stadium in their hometown. They both agreed to watch one of the newest horror films there which will air at 11 noon.

Only then will they stop briefly at Testa's garden. the place where the two of them met for the first time.

Julia was really looking forward to Sunday with a pounding feeling, and a constant feeling of joy in her chest.

"Did you like the film earlier?" Jacob asked, handing Julia a drink, who quickly took it. the girl felt very thirsty after sitting for hours, and only looked at the big screen doing nothing but glanced at her lover a few times.

"Hmm, to be honest I liked the film earlierThe story is interesting, and tense, but I don't like Blaire, he is too mean to be an antagonist, "Julia replied. She then tilted her body a little so that she could face Jacob to tell the story. He killed Gerald without feeling guilty. "

Jacob mumbled softly, then then groaned, "Isn't that natural? Gerald raped her and made her suffer for years."

julia seemed to think about Jacob's words for a moment, but then he voiced again, "I know that, but still it's not fair for Gerald to die at the hands of a girl! I'm pissed off to see him."

Jacob laughed softly, Julia was excited when she told her story when the girl has told something, she will be a talkative girl, just like now.

"Hmm ... don't you feel sorry for Blaire?" Jacob asked Julia, they were talking about the main character in the film they had previously watched.

Julia pursed her lips. "No, he's so mean," he said with an annoyed face. "Why do you ask that, honey?"

Jacob smiled faintly, then said, "It's okay, it's just ... I want to say that what Blaire did was a natural act of revenge."

jacob looked at the tips of his shoes, and continued to say, "Because, Blaire's honor and life were ruined because of Gerald's past actions. Maybe you can understand the suffering where ... women like Blaire, who are victims of rape will always be considered badly and ostracized by society. "

jacob then looked up, staring at the evening sky from under a shady tree. Looking back at his childhood about ten years ago, that time was the toughest and most difficult time in his life as a family.

"Though ... they are all victimsI mean - women who are victims of violence and rape. The women are treated badly, they are the ones who are deprived of their happiness, "said the man again, staring at the soda can in his right hand.

"They have lost hope of survivalthey no longer have anything valuable to a woman, namely her virginity. Their property was seized by irresponsible men, but ... why do people even label them as corrupt and immoral women? "

"I really don't understand the stigma that these people have."

Julia, who didn't know what to react, could only shut her mouth tightly. Suddenly, he felt a tightness in his chest as he imagined the wounds that the women who had been forced to fuck had received.

obviously, it's all so heartbreaking. Very suffocating.

Even though at first, Julia only expressed her dislike for one of the main characters of the horror film she watched with her boyfriend, but it turns out that Jacob has thought of something else so that now he looks so gloomy.

jacob speaks at length, is open and understands women's rights. It was definitely taller than Julia who casually commented on Blaire's life.

"I'm sorry," said Julia sadly. "I don't know what those who were victims felt."

"I easily call Blaire evil, whereas we know that he ... is a victim whose honesty is considered taboo by the wider community."

"It's true, their honesty as rape victims is a disgrace." jacob then looked away, staring at the girl who had been with him for some time with a sad gaze.

Julia was seen holding back tears, her shoulders shaking softly. "I'm sorry, JuliaI just got carried away, "Jacob said as he hugged his lover, feeling guilty for cutting the girl's fragile heart into slices.

julia nodded in the warm embrace of the person she loved, she slowly returned Jacob's hug and buried her face in the broad chest of the man whose body was covered by a black shirt.

"July," Jacob called softly. He then lifted his lover's chin carefully. "Look at me."

julia looked up, her cheeks warmed when her lover's palms rubbed her face softly. When the two of them met, Jacob whispered softly, "If only I ... were in a state where I had acted way beyond my familiarity you know."

"Whatever it is, I'm just asking you to be a little patient with my behavior, Julia."

"If I ask you to leave, then don't you ever go away from me."

"If I tell you to disappear, then don't you ever get away and hide from me."

"Just give me time, so I can reflect on each of my actions and apologize directly to you. Understand?"

Tears began to pool in Julia's eyelids. Jacob's words touched her heart. There was no way Julia could leave the man, he had fallen too deep. she loved Jacob so much.

"I understand," Julia replied as she took Jacob's hand, she looked at it for a moment then kissed it lightly. "Don't be sad anymore, I'll always be with you."

"Thank you." Jacob kissed Julia on the forehead, then looked back at her lover. This time it's longer. whoever started it, when both eyes began to close slowly, two lips had met each other.

It just sticks without resistance, but delivers all the feelings that are felt in the hearts of their respective owners.

"Ah, I have to go home soon." julia checked her watch with a huff, Jacob then handed her a spare helmet - meant to take the girl home, but Julia immediately shook her head quickly.

"I'll just walk, the last bus left five minutes ago," Julia said as if she already knew her lover's thoughts, but she didn't want to trouble Jacob. He will go home alone.

"But-"

"It's okay, darling. You better hurry home and take care of the house as your sister orderedShe's been out a lot like you said lately, right? "Julia blinked her right eye with a sweet smile, trying to convince Jacob that it was okay to go home alone.

jacob exhaled slowly from his mouth, Julia was stubborn, but he knew that she just didn't want to trouble someone - even if it was his own lover.

"Okay, I'll go home first. Be careful on the road."

julia smiled and waved her hand at her lover who had sped away with his big motorbike. The girl held her breath for a moment before smiling broadly.

His first kiss with his lover was so thrilling. there was a sweet taste that he did not understand once the lips of the two met. Julia then giggled softly before walking slowly down the street back to her house.

+++

Julia looked around, the atmosphere around her was like an abandoned land that no one had ever translated. so quiet and lonely. What's going on? Not usually a densely populated crowded area like New York City is quiet.

there was absolutely no sight of any pedestrians willing to accompany him on his way to the return road, making Julia decide to take a shortcut she had never taken before - in order to shorten the time. He doesn't want his parents to worry.

to get rid of the loneliness she felt, Julia hummed a song. The girl sang the national anthem of her country with joy. Expelling the anxiety that gripped him a little.

Honestly, it was Julia's first time going through a narrow alley in a strange area.

the alley is a small lane flanked by two disused tobacco factories. It can be said that it has been neglected because many people today have turned to digital cigarettes which are easier and safer to use.

"Jacob's lips were really ... cute." julia blushed again remembering it Her first kiss was taken by a man she loved with all her heart. Of course he was very happy. I wanted the girl to repeat the sweet kiss.

Julia took her steps lightly, looking slow. before entering the small alley, he did not even check whether there were other people around him or not. He just walked straight.

Julia only caught a glimpse and immediately took the road and hoped that a pass would reach a red light at the other end. as far as he knew it would be.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

You could hear the sound of footsteps stepping on a puddle using a boot-type shoe. Julia thought it was just an ordinary person who also wanted to go out on the road with her.

the girl was grateful because there was someone near her, she felt safe.

Julia glanced slightly, looking for the figure with the tail of her eye. His heart, which had originally been beating normally, suddenly started beating fast when his fun taking portraits secretly resulted in a fact.

a photo attached to the screen, and it was taken using the front camera. There was nothing in sight, but for some reason Julia was still afraid. Like something or someone was following her footsteps and it gave Julia goosebumps.

julia spontaneously turned around and looked at her timidly. He then asked aloud, half screaming, "Who's there ?!"

No reply. Julia turned her gaze again around the hallway, and nothing. there was only silence behind her, just as it was in the photo, but Julia felt oddly sure that someone was hiding not far behind her. The girl tightened her grip on the strap of the bag, taking a slow sip of saliva.

"Calm down, JuliaYou're just being paranoid, "she whispered to herself. This was the result of watching horror films that she was parnoing something unnecessary. From now on Julia will avoid watching films that will only make her look like a coward.

he then nodded slowly and continued his journey. Without knowing there is a pair of eyes lurking in the dark.

Julia glanced back again. Again he felt someone was being followed.

No, it's not just a feeling.

He was actually being followed by someone.

someone had been following him all along, and it wasn't just paranoia.

Julia shook her head, and tried to think positively. Maybe it was just someone passing by with the same goal as him. He hopes that this is not just a baseless fear in his heart .
