" sit here" I said, patting the floor with taro leaves next to me.
" mm.., "
marissa looked doubtful and then slowly sat down next to me
" why..? are you still angry because of what I said about the pirates who threatened you back then ? "
marissa who previously seemed a little reluctant to look at my face, when she heard me ask like that then immediately turned her head without hesitation to set her sights on me.
" so you're really angry ?? are you so upset with me now ?? "
" reason...., "marissa moved her body closer to me before she looked at me with a more serious face "give me an excuse for that. Why do you say cruel things so easily.. ??"
he thought about this ?? ..
yes it is natural, but I like the way that blatantly asks for an explanation.
" i.."
when I wanted to answer a question from Marissa, she put on a sullen face and kept looking at me up close..
" hey, can you ask a little more calmly?? "
" no.., I won't be able to calm down before you answer this big question in my mind "
" hoo.., is that a big deal ?? "
" it's so big that I can't stop thinking about it.. "
" hoo.. does that mean you keep thinking about me ?? "
" yes it is clear. "marissa said it without thinking, but after that she realized with her words then became embarrassed and began to turn her face away from me
" hen..stop putting on such a weird face. just answer my question..! "
he is putting on a strange face now..
" humm.., yeah well I'll say it now.. "
" hum. say it immediately.. "
" you are impatient..
" hey.. hurry....! "
with a stifling expression of laughter, I began to answer the question from Marissa earlier.
" actually I knew the pirate wouldn't be able to kill you "
" ooh really ?? "
" yes, maybe "
" you.maybe ?? ye..
" quiet down, I haven't finished explaining.. "
" uh ooke. humm. haaa" said.
marissa seemed to hold her breath in her chest and throw out a long breath "let's explain "
" there's a reason why they keep hunting us in this dangerous forest when if left unchecked, maybe we'll die by itself "
" umm.. "
" they even risked their lives to pursue us in this mysterious forest"
" hold on ? "
" do you not understand yet ?! "
" hummm ?? understand what..?? "
" i.e., that means they're trying to catch you alive, maybe to be sandra or something. "
" yes continue ? "
" huh ?. What do you keep ?? it's obvious they won't dare to kill you, because you're an important person to be taken prisoner alive "
" that's not what I want to hear.I've understood about the robber who won't kill me "
" humm??. if you already understand then what else do you want to hear.. "
" you're not a fool, you know what I mean" asked Marissa with a chin up expression of boredom.
" i don't understand..what's wrong with saying ?? "
" yeah..., "
" don't just say cih.., "
" what I asked from the beginning.why do you have the heart to say "you think I care about him "with a cold look when I was threatened with a sword around my neck ?? "
" humms?? "
I was stunned with a tight mouth.I couldn't say anything to answer the question from Marissa.
do I have a reason??
no. No reason will not be enough to correct my words..
" why are you that bad ? didn't you even think about how I felt when you said that sentence ?? " said Marissa with a heavy tone.His eyes began to look teary.
haa. what should I say..
I was upset with her when she lied to me that she and Doni were engaged.
but actually I have no reason to be angry because after all there is nothing to do with me about other people's relationships.
" is it because you're angry ?? "
I was surprised to look at Marissa when she asked that question..
" i'm angry?? "
" yes. are you angry that I've been engaged to doni ?? "
what does it mean that I am angry with their engagement??.
but..
why did my chest hurt when I heard from her directly, that she was engaged ??
what the hell's going on??
since when did I become this emotional ??
no. No. This is probably just my fear that has piled up to make this bitter feeling.
yeah, it's for sure..
" humms ? "
I was shocked and looked up as Marissa approached and hugged my body tightly..
" vinn.., I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you about my relationship with Doni.. "
" a.. What did you say? I do not understand. I.. is not angry at all. why should I be angry ? "
" you lied to vinn.., I still clearly remember how you left me at that moment.and also your cold gaze when you said no matter to me when I was threatened by the pirates.."
" you misunderstand me how I might be angry at someone else's relationship, I have no reason to "
" umm ?? is true.. "
" yes. "
" can you explain the two things I mentioned earlier ? "
" the first is that I don't like being lied to and the second is that maybe I got too carried away with the anger that culminated in killing the pirates.You see for yourself how cruel they are ?? "
" humms ? is that so ? " ask Marissa who started taking off her arms from me and wiped the tears on her face..
"umm. certainly "I replied with a small smile to Marissa.
I don't know what I'm feeling.I might actually have other feelings for Marissa..
but.., my principle balked at having to ruin other people's relationships. I wouldn't do it..
it may..
" well now.let's just say we break even okay ? "
" breakeven ?? "
" yeah.you who lied to me and I who said bad things to you.we are the same okay ?? "
" umm..?? "
marissa was silent for a moment as if reading the expression on my face.
" yes. okay we break even "he replied with a small smile as if forced to make a smile on that beautiful face.
I could feel he was dissatisfied with the answer I made earlier.
" can we talk about something else now? " let me try to divert that awkward atmosphere, even so this is a very important question..
" umm.of course. "
" we're still going to talk about the robbers.. "
" yes. what happened to the robbers ?? "
" i was just thinking. Why do they keep hunting us ? and from what I've seen, the pirates sort of have a list of people they want to capture "
" right. they are even willing to die just for this matter. "answered marissa while holding her chin to think.
" as one of the people on that list do you have some kind of corporate enemy or rival? anything that goes against you..? "
" grh.., "
