The First Curse of Love
14. Two Stupid People

From that night on, Danny had completely kept his distance from Qiara. Unlike when they fought normally, this time Danny completely stretched the bulkhead between them. He even avoided getting together with the others just to stay away from Qiara and keep Prissy feeling.

Initially, Qiara tried not to care. But over time he felt careless also treated like someone who was suffering from a deadly infectious disease by Danny. For your umpteenth, again Danny incensed in his heart.

Yes, Qiara should have remembered, that Danny was indeed good at disappointing him.

Unable to stand the attitude of the two fools, Celine and Arga who had been silent and were just observers, were, eventually devise a plan to bring Danny and Qiara together with the goal so that they can talk to each other to solve their problems. They choose to execute the plan without the knowledge let alone the approval of Danny and Qiara. Arga and Celine are even ready, if Danny or Qiara will be angry at them.

Arga's house was used as a place of execution.

"We want to do si─" Qiara who had just come to Arga's house, immediately did not continue his sentence once he saw the figure of Danny was among them.

Qiara was aghast, as well as Danny who could not hide his shock at seeing Qiara's presence. They stared at each other in silence, until Danny finally took the initiative to leave.

"Gue has to go now." Danny said without taking his cold eyes off Qiara.

Danny then got up, he completely ignored the words of Arga and Celine who asked him not to go first.

However, Danny's footsteps suddenly stopped when he felt Qiara touch his shoulder to intercept him. Slowly, Danny raised his face then looked at Qiara in front of him. "What did you forget? You still have debt explanation for me."

Danny sighed softly, as Qiara's eyes seemed to hypnotize him and made him no longer able to dodge this girl.

"Follow me!" Tell Qiara firmly, then walk ahead of Danny.

Danny is seen weighing, before he finally steps, following Qiara who has come out of Arga's house first.

...****...

"Is it nice to see you've been acting like a fool for a few days?" Sizzle Qiara sharply.

Danny flinching.

At that time, the two of them were already standing face to face in the field of their home complex.

"Lo is always angry whenever we have a problem and I avoid it. But now see what you're doing? Will you always act the same way as me?"

Danny's still flinching. In a situation that made him cornered, Danny knew to take out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his jacket pocket. Danny intentionally did just that, knowing that Qiara disliked him very much.

Qiara hissed cynically. Apparently this annoying young man had indeed intentionally wanted to anger him. He knew that Qiara hated seeing him smoke, which was why he was doing it right now in front of his eyes.

Just as Danny was about to smoke the cigarette and was about to light it, Qiara quickly grabbed it and broke it with her hand.

"Now, tell me what you're supposed to do!" Pinta Qiara with teary eyes. Looks like Danny's already made it mad.

"If it's about what I said to Patton on the futsal court at that time, I don't mean anything. I'm telling you that we're still dating because I don't want to be complicated about us breaking up, or why we broke up." Danny replied in a cold tone. He did not even look at his interlocutor at all.

Qiara snorted, then laughed cynically afterwards. From how Danny answered his question, it's been very clear that Danny has been too good at him all this time.

"Now, try again. Why do you keep running away from me?"

Qiara's tears had already been held perfectly in her eye sashes. Just wait for time until the circle of tears seeped out and broke the defense.

"Because if I don't go all the way, I'll keep hurting Prissy's heart."

"Keep, is it okay if you hurt my heart? That's what you mean?"

"Qi─"

"THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'VE ALWAYS HOPED FOR ME, QI! IF YOU HADN'T EXPECTED MORE, OUR FRIENDSHIP MIGHT HAVE COME BACK THE WAY IT USED TO." Said Danny in a high tone.

What he had just said to Qiara, came off without his will.

"SIMPLE, RIGHT? I WAS WRONG IN THE END." Reply to Qiara with a tone of voice that was the same height.

"Keep, if you still love me to this day, do I have to be responsible for that?"

Eggplant! Danny hit his heart with the last sentence he said. Qiara was really feeling claustrophobic now. Yet the only thing that relieved him was; he could still hold back his tears and not spill them in the face of this loser.

Danny was even a hundred times more evil than what he could think of all this time.

And look! What did he just say? She knew Qiara still harbored feelings for her, but she kept on purposefully giving Qiara hope under the guise of friendship? Where did Danny train to hurt someone to such a degree?

I swear by anything, Qiara needs someone to save her from this situation. He doesn't want to cry in front of Danny right now.

He wants to get out of front of Danny. But his power is over. He is not able to move. He doesn't even have the energy to breathe right now. His firm eyes now began to tremble. While Danny, still glanced at him with a cold look.

Qiara's hope then became real, when Dean suddenly appeared and threw a punch that was quite hard on the face of Danny, his own brother.

The hard blow that Dean rewarded, successfully made Danny fall down right in front of them. Dean grabbed one of Qiara's hands, then let the girl hide her face on her sturdy shoulder.

"If you can't be nice with your boyfriend and best friend at once, then don't hurt one of them. If necessary. release one of them." Sizzle Dean sharply.

At that very instant, the tears that Qiara was holding half to death, finally spilled. And yes, Danny managed to make her feel as if what happened all along was his fault.

Qiara felt very pitiful now.

...****...

After calming Qiara down and driving her home, Dean immediately returned home. As he passes through Danny's room, his attention is accidentally drawn to Danny's open door. Inside, Dean could see Danny sitting pensively under his bed.

Dean sighed. At first he wanted to ignore Danny. But again, something he did not understand, moved his body from within.

Dean picked up the P3K box on the table. He then went into Danny's room and sat down by his sister's side without saying anything.

While Danny, as soon as he noticed the presence of someone beside him, he immediately turned his head and was slightly stunned to see Dean, who for the first time walked into his room and sat down next to him.

"Sister Dean?"

Dean, who was still in no mood to make his voice, painstakingly dripped a few drops of red medicine over a piece of cotton and pressed it gently on the area around the wound on the edge of Danny's lip. The injury was the result of a deflection that Dean had given to Danny a while ago.

Moments later, Dean walked out of Danny's room for a few minutes. After that he returned again with an ice bag to compress the bruise on Danny's face. As soon as Dean was about to compress him, Danny held Dean's hand and said, "let me just."

Dean still did not say anything, until Faradina suddenly appeared.

"Good Danny! You why?" Faradina said frantically as she turned away Danny's face to see his bruises clearly.

Just as Dean was about to admit to his actions, Danny hurriedly said, "so fell right into futsal, Ma. Danny's face was thrown a ball, too."

Faradina looked sanctioned hearing her son's answer. He looked at Dean, trying to find certainty. However, Dean only showed his flat face. Afterwards, he returned to see Danny, "what hard to throw until you make your face bonyok like this?"
