Beautiful Monster
Great Danger

"Are you sure you don't want to come? You'll probably come home tonight and eat out."

The father had persuaded many times, but Ignacia did not want to go out at all. She is eager to enjoy being home alone, reading novels and accompanied by overcast weather that is likely to rain.

Ignacia was lazy to go out. He wanted one day to enjoy a good time alone. Even if her entire family had to leave, Ignacia did not mind.

"I can cook myself later. I'll be fine alone at home. I will also be doing my homework this afternoon. You guys just go. I'm fine."

The plan today is for the father to bring his entire family to come to the event held by the brother of the father. But because Ignacia seemed exhausted and refused, her father would not be too pressurized.

"Then, but you should still have dinner. Remember if you have a stomach disease" his father said before deciding to leave the child's room first. Not forgetting his father told his wife that their first child could not come.

After the departure of her family car, Ignacia was finally able to get up from the sofa of her room. Walk to the kitchen to get a chocolate cake. Because of Rajendra, he often makes chocolate cakes for himself without the knowledge of his younger brothers.

"Yay finally," pleased Ignacia.

He also brought cold orange juice as a friend. A good novel, a supportive atmosphere, not hot weather, as well as snacks that he can enjoy without thinking about anything.

Heaven world.

Not even Ignacia tried her chocolate cake this time, suddenly a voice came from her phone. Ignacia deliberately turned on the ringtone so she could hear if her parents just called. But why did her mom call after leaving a few minutes ago?

Oh open the mother.

"What's Rajendra?" It sounds like this guy is in a crowded place. Maybe it's somewhere with friends. Ignacia could hear some small chatter that was behind Rajendra.

"You want Thai Tea?" Tawar Rajendra suddenly.

"Thai Tea?" Ignacia Beo.

"Yes, Thai Tea. This morning me and the organization's friends had a small meeting, and we decided to go to the city before heading home. If you want, I'll buy it and take it to your house. I have a lot of free time now."

Sounds interesting.

"Of course if you don't mind. Thank you, Rajendra."

"Original taste, right?" Haha this guy still remembers everything. Ignacia was bought two years ago. I don't know if he's starting to like vanilla ice cream.

"yes original. Quickly come. It's late afternoon."

"Haha okay. I'll see you later." Rajendra shut off calls unilaterally.

Ignacia stared at the screen of her phone for a second. If she doesn't hear wrong, it looks like Ignacia hears more female voices than men on the backsound of calls.

Are the children of OSIS and MPK now dominated by women? Ignacia knew that the boys in this organization were not quiet people.

"Huh, I was far-fetched" whispered Ignacia then back to the cake. Oh yeah, he'll read a few pages while waiting for Rajendra to come. Should he just move to the living room? To be able to open the door and fence for her lover.

Ignacia brought her book into the living room. There will probably be time to clear things up once it's done with Rajendra. Besides, he said he was with his organization friends, so he couldn't have come here right away.

"Can he stay longer?" ignacia murmured while reading a new chapter in his novel.

...*****...

"Thai Tea? Well, it's been a long time."

A girl in brightly colored dominant clothes looked very happy. He can go here without his friends. He took another girl friend to walk in rhythm.

He seems really happy.

Everyone who comes with her can quickly notice Sarah's change in face. The excited girl in the front row. He is famous for his friendly attitude, not childish.

"Sarah, it seems that something is wrong with you," teased a boy friend who was on his left, "you are acting like children. You were born yesterday?"

Rajendra saved his phone after calling Ignacia. Look around if there might be anything he could give Ignacia other than Thai Tea. His feeling is happy. The reason for that was certainly because he had successfully completed the organization meeting well and obtained a way out.

"Ignacia?" Ask the bespectacled friend next to Rajendra. Organization friends and colleagues in class. "It looks like your relationship is getting warm again. You don't usually call him first."

Rajendra smiled slightly, confirming the words of his friend.

"Have you guys never been on a date? You're the only couple who never looked out for a date. Is your relationship okay?"

Rajendra remained silent. Don't know if you have to tell the truth or tell lies that can keep her privacy with Ignacia. Ignacia asks Rajendra to never tell anyone about dating. The fact that the two often go on dates secretly.

Ignacia does not want to repeat the past. No one wants to notice the relationship anymore. Memories with his ex are absent, but being abandoned and being the center of attention of people is sickening.

"The Ignacia would rather be at home than taking a walk out. He enjoys reading books more than wasting energy going out" Rajendra explained.

He was happy to explain Ignacia's attitude in the past. Before her girl accepts Rajendra's invitation to date in the present.

"Then, when you're married or already at the proposal stage, it will be your first date? I'm sure your college days will be just as busy."

It sounds funny when someone says it with such a view.

A group of teenagers entered the area of a Thai Tea shop. Start ordering, wait at a table for a chat. Let one person take care of their order. That's not Rajendra. The man would rather sit and chat than say his order to someone behind the cashier.

Notifications that appear on the screen of Rajendra's phone take the attention of his friends. Only the phone screen turns on when a message comes in.

New Message from Ignacia🍓

Ignacia🍓 I made chocolate cake

"It seems like someone is going to be busy tonight," a friend teased after accidentally reading a message. Maybe it's Rajendra's fault for putting his phone on the table. Letting those around her be able to see the message with the Strawberry emoticon on her screen.

"You guys still dating?" Sarah, the person sitting next to Rajendra asked. His eyes looked at Rajendra, "i thought you guys broke up because you're rarely seen together. You also do not look to be in a backstreet relationship. Why?"

"Friends, your order will come in ten minutes. We ordered a lot, so it took a little longer to prepare" explained the friend who finished ordering.

He took a seat next to Sarah, "oh yeah, after this I hope you all go home soon. Tomorrow I don't want any reason to miss the second meeting."

He's the head of the OSIS.

Everyone nodded obediently. After all, they went out just as a self-reward because they were already good members of OSIS and MPK until almost retired. As a small award also before recruiting new children.

True Thai Tea they came after ten minutes of waiting. Rajendra brings three while his friends only buy one. The boy's friends already know the reason why Rajendra bought quite a lot of mexican men did not like this tea-mixed milk drink.

They started going to their homes. Drive a private vehicle alone, or ask for someone to drive home in the same direction.

"Rajendra," call Sarah, "can I go home with you? My dad had a show, so he couldn't pick me up. Can you take me home? Please."

Rajendra will refuse, but his response is immediately cut with a question from Sarah. "Do you have to see Ignacia after this? Can you take me home first?"

Rajendra's friends are gone one by one. There are still some couples who will soon be home together. If left behind, Rajendra may feel bad for leaving Sarah alone. On the other hand he also did not want to piggyback Sarah. Ignacia can be angry and disappointed later.

"Sorry, I can't take you," Rajendra refused.

"Come, my house is close to yours. Take me for a second. Just this time, please." Sarah even linked her hands together for Rajendra to agree. "I promise I won't trouble you again after this."

"I'll just order an online motorcycle. I have to go somewhere." Rajendra pulls out his phone, ordering an ojek online without seeing Sarah's visibly disappointed face. He doesn't like it when his friend is cold.

"It has. I'll go first."

Rajendra got on his motorcycle, put on a helmet and disappeared seconds later. Sarah sighed resignedly, indeed she would not be able to ask for help to someone who already had a lover.

But what did Sarah expect?

...*****...

"Oh you've come? Hi," greet Ignacia with enthusiasm.

"Look at what I'm carrying," Rajendra lifted the plastic bag he was carrying, "all for you."

"Are you planning on making me fat by bringing a lot of sugary drinks, huh? But it's okay. I like it."

Ignacia received three Thai Teas from Rajendra with pleasure, bringing her lover in for a while. How could Rajendra be kicked out just like that, right?

"I'm making chocolate cake, do you want to? I'm making it better now." Ignacia steps into the kitchen, letting Rajendra sit for a while in the living room. The male prankster grabbed the book of Ignacia's novel on the table. See what page the book was read.

Looks like Ignacia's buying another book. This was not the book he bought while celebrating his second anniversary this year. Hah, her girl really likes fiction.

"Look at the cake I made," Ignacia had wrapped the cake neatly as if it came from a pastry shop. "I deliberately bought a cake box so you could carry it well. My mom said that maybe I should make a little more if I wanted to give it to you. So I made it more."

Ignacia was already sitting beside him, smiling happily. Do not forget to bring orange juice with a glass.

"Thank you for the cake. My mom said you were good at making cakes. My birthday cake is early." Oh Ignacia never knew if Rajendra shared his cake with her mother. He thought this man was just eating a cake from Ignacia alone.

"really? I think I should learn more to impress your mother, Rajendra." Ignacia stared at the book, "the book is good. I bought it with Athira a while ago. The story is sweet and sweet."

"Is that so? But you read it until the middle of the book. You read fast. Oh yeah, I have something to ask you." The mood changed to be somewhat different. But Ignacia certainly couldn't feel it.

"Just ask. What's up?" Ignacia's hand moves to pour orange juice for Rajendra.

"You're seeing Bahri again?"

Ignacia almost spilled the orange juice she was trying to pour out while hearing the man's question. What he just did certainly made Rajendra a little uncomfortable. There was a girl hiding, he thought.

"Why are you asking like that? You don't know if Bahri moved house out of town? Where could he be here, Rajendra."

"I saw it on my way here. He was sitting in the park with some friends. You sure you're not hiding something from me?" Rajendra stared at the spilled orange juice slightly, helping Ignacia to wipe it with a tissue.

"Why ask that? Why would I hide something from you?"

Ignacia gets rid of the used tissue into the trash. Sit back next to Rajendra and hold back his nervousness. If he can influence Rajendra, maybe Ignacia should be an actor.

"Yes, you could still meet that man. You were also close. He even bought you a Thai Tea that you like. You forbid me to come for it."

Rajendra stared into Ignacia's eyes, looking for the truth, "You didn't see each other again, did you?"

Ignacia let out a long breath, returning Rajendra's gaze for a few seconds. "Why should I care about someone who already has a boyfriend?"

Think of Ignacia drifting into the past with Bahri that Rajendra is discussing. "When we had a fight that day he had a partner."

"But you look close."

"Come on, friend isn't that it?"

"If it's a friend, he won't buy you anything for free. He must have meant." Rajendra's tone sharpens. Unable to resist the anger of Ignacia's pretence.

"That friend isn't like that, Ignacia. He might like you, "his tone starts to swallow.

The girl before him lowered her head, unable to believe that she had just gotten an unpleasant tone from her own lover. Ignacia did not cry, her heart was not that soft until she suddenly cried. But why should Rajendra scare her?

"I'm sorry." Rajendra carried Ignacia's body into his arms, stroking the girl's long black mane gently.

"I don't like it when you're too innocent and positive about what other men do. I can't accept her good treatment for you. That guy has a pattern when he likes girls."

Ignacia doesn't want to say anything. Just quietly listen. He could not distinguish honesty and possessiveness. What is clear, talking about Bahri can provoke great danger from Rajendra. That hate was her lover to an old friend of Ignacia's.
