Chapter 3 Bela

When I left Gubat, I passed by the basketball court and there I saw Lucas with alcohol. And he is alone. So I came closer.

Lucas: Bela? What are you doing here ? It's night

Bela: lucas.... I ran to him at the same time and hugged him tightly... That's when I burst into tears again,, at the same time as he gently caressed my back, my shoulders trembled because I was holding back sobs.

Lucas: bela. Why? What happened to you?

Bela: Lucas is leaving. I'm leaving and grandma will live there..

Lucas: Huh? But why?

Bela: Huhuhuhuhu I don't like you grandma, I don't like it because I don't have any friends.

Lucas: come sit down first,,

When we sat, Bela took the wine I was drinking and drank it. Then spit it out..

Bela: wahhhh that's bitter..

Lucas: what?! Who told you to drink that?

Bela: pls just now I want to forget Lucas.

Lucas felt sorry for Bela, even though he also had a problem with his family, he couldn't accompany Bela.

Because he can tolerate and hide the problem more than Bela.

Lucas and I shared the wine, and my face was already red from what I drank.

Lucas: That's right! that's fine, it's ugly when you drink too much.

Lucas grabbed the wine from my hand. And that was taken away from me.

Bela: why is that, why were we born when all we are going through is problems.

Can't we be happy and others have problems?

Lucas: That's the way it is in the world.

You will not be happy in life until you experience sadness.

You know that your problem is simple compared to others. You just don't want to be far away from your parents and you don't want to study. It's the other people who are having problems with how to study.

can't study because there's really no one to support them.

Bela: are you okay with me being far away? won't you miss me?

Lucas looked at me. And it went beyond sadness.

Lucas: of course it hurts me that you are far away. Because I'm used to you always being by my side. But there are things that the time will come when we will also part ways. Because we have to sacrifice the bereaved so that we can achieve something in life.

Bela: but I can't be far from our place.

Lucas: Bela,, (Lucas grabbed my hand and I looked into his eyes that were also staring at me)

You can do it.!

A word from lucas that I never saw that he really wanted me to be far away. I see sadness in his eyes that I can't explain.

Bela: what happened to your father?

When I talk about something else.

He let go of my hand and took the wine then sipped it again.

Lucas: Dad is in the hospital, he is not well yet.

My mother sent me home because they say that many guards are not allowed in the Hospital. I'll be back tomorrow morning.

Bela: Why are you drinking?

Lucas: I just passed by them drinking outside, that's why they're already drunk. They gave me another problem to forget.

Bela: did you forget?

I held my breath.

Lucas: no, that's my dad, I can't help but worry about my dad. Then I'm not hit by alcohol. You look a little red in the face. How can you go home?

Bela: Huh? Ahh, I'll wait for them to sleep before I cry.

Lucas: I'm dead to aunt. I let you drink

Bela: haha ​​he won't know that you are with me.

They stopped talking when he saw his sister walking,

"Brother!" I exclaimed as Lucas and I immediately stood up.

Lucas: How is that? It said nervously.

Nothing registered in my mind but I just said yes

Bela: run"! I held Lucas by the hand and we ran on the Road I went to earlier.

Lucas followed me because I had more control over him and he was also afraid of being scolded..

My sister is still far away, that's why I'm sure she hasn't seen us yet.

Until we were in a dark place because the sky was covered by trees.

Behind the tree we stopped, and lucas' back leaned against the tree. While I was taking a peek to see if my sister had followed me..

We both panted from running,

Bela: Did sister follow us?

Lucas: We also ran far so I guess not.

Bela: I'm nervous. Looking for me, not sure.

I'm still taking a peek at the road we came from,, rarely do people go there because there are no houses going there..

But even though I know no one will pass by, I'm still nervous because I know my sister is looking for me.

Lucas: why can't you be seen more then, you're right here, Lucas held out my hand

And because I was still a bit dizzy from the alcohol, I followed his pull and I fell into his chest.. His pull on me got stronger because he didn't feel it because of the alcohol he drank.

I clung to Lucas's chest. And he also felt surprised when my face was buried in his.

I looked at Lucas's face who was also staring at my face seriously..

Why is that? My heart was beating fast, and I felt like I wanted that scene where our chests were touching. Maybe it's because our time is running out and Lucas and I will be separated forever.

I saw Lucas swallow saliva, and I felt his hand slowly wrap around my small waist, so we were even closer and I felt the warmth of our bodies even more.

I can't explain why I like this scene. Especially when Lucas called my name in a hoarse voice.

"bela"

At the same time, his face automatically lowered and came closer to my face, as if I was excited. No one said a word when they objected, but I waited for Lucas and I to touch our lips,,

He thought I would object.

But he saw no objection to me, so he continued to claim my lips, when I felt his lips close, I opened my lips as well. And then he gently kissed me on the lips,, even though I didn't know how to kiss, I learned everything when I felt that I was responding to every kiss from Lucas' lips.
