BLIND DATE ( ENGLISH VERSION )

ALEXA’S POV

I woke up late, but it was a relief that it was Saturday. Meaning that I do not have a class. However, I have severe flu. Haist, maybe it is because of the tiredness that I went through it throughout the first week of class. Our teacher gave us a lot of things to be done. I understand that we are graduating students, but we are still human beings that can feel tired. By the way, I am alone today. Mom and Dad are too busy in the company. The same as my brother Xander, my brother is preoccupied with his training. Rhea is out of town. Our maids are on their day off. See? What bad timing to have severe flu. A sigh came out of my mouth. I tried to get up, but I failed. I am hungry too. I decided to sit on my bed and lay my head on the headboard. Argh, my head feels like it is splitting into two. I got shocked when my door suddenly opened. However, I got more shocked to see who opened it.

” What are you doing here? ” I asked shocked at the person who entered my room.

” Auntie called me. ” he answered with a cool effect.

” Mommy is not here. You can go back next time, she is here. ” I said and then looked away from the gaze of his eyes.

” I am not searching for her. She just called me to tell me that you are sick. Moreover, she said that you are alone, and no one will take care of you. So, I am here. ” he explained.

” It is not really necessary. You can leave and do your important kinds of stuff. ” I said in a cold tone.

” Today is my free day. So even if you want me to leave, I will not leave you. ” he argued.

I just rolled my eyes after his arguments. I really do not have the strength to argue with my so-called boyfriend. Yep, Ken was the one who opened the door. After he shouted at me last time, he was here. If you are asking if I want him to be here, of course, aish, I mean. I was stopped by my thoughts when he suddenly spoke.

” Are you hungry? ” he asked.

” No. ” I shortly answered.

However, my tummy betrayed me when it sounded because of hunger. Aish, it is embarrassing. I hear the idiot’s laughter, so I glared at him. Yet, he did not care.

” Playing hard to get but hungry. I will just cook something downstairs and then I will be right back, okay? For now, just rest there for a while. ” he said smiling at me. He went outside and carefully closed the door.

A smile is drawn to my face when I remembered his smile a while ago. Okay, I admit he is handsome when he is serious, but his handsomeness is on another level every time he smiles. I just shrugged off my thoughts, you are going crazy, Alexa.

After some time, I got bored in my bed. Besides, I cannot get up, so I get my phone and scrolled on my newsfeed when Rhea suddenly called me. Our conversation went like this.

” Hello. ” I answered spiritlessly.

( Oh, you are not yet healed. I heard your so-called boyfriend is there right now. ) she said with a piece of teasing.

” How did you know? ” I asked her.

( Caleb told me, I mean err. ) she said stammering.

My time has come to tease her back. It is payback time.

” Oh really? So, you are with him right now. ” I asked her with my most teasing voice.

( Of course not. ) she denied.

I smirked after what she said. This girl is not capable of lying. Besides, I saw the story of Caleb in my feed. He is with Rhea, and I think it was captured today.

” Do not me, beshy. Do not me. ” I said chuckling.

( Fine, it is just because. ) she said.

” What? What I do not know, Rhea? ” I asked while biting my lips to stop my laughter to come out.

( Fine, I thought I supposedly told this to you on Monday, but I will give you a preview now. Caleb’s parents and my parents are business partners. Then, Mommy set up an out of town and invited his family to join us. ) she explained.

” Oww, so what is your score? ” I asked her teasingly.

( Nothing. I just have a crush on Caleb, but it is still your brother I am in love with. ) she confessed.

Haist, this girl! She is still hoping that my brother will like her back.

” Beshy. ” I called her in a worried tone.

( Do not worry about me, beshy. I know. These feelings will be gone soon. ) she said.

I noticed the sigh that came out of her after she said those words. This girl knew already that she and my brother was just like asymptotes in Mathematics. They can be close but cannot be intertwined forever. The silence arises in our midst. After a while,

( By the way, where is your boyfriend? ) she asked

” At the kitchen. He said that he will cook. ” I answered.

( So, what is your score? ) she asked repeating my question to her a while ago.

” You are a copycat. Nothing! You know that things between us are just fake. I still cannot process why he is here. ” I replied.

I immediately hold my chest because I felt something is scratching it. Do I have heart disease? I stopped my thoughts when Rhea suddenly spoke.

( Anyway, beshy. I have to go. I really just called to check you out. You seem fine. Maybe it is just a love fever. ) she said

” Love fever? ” I asked.

( A fever because of love. ) she explained while laughing.

” Aish, you are saying random and impossible things. I will put this call down; you are stressing me out. ” I said irritably to change the topic.

( Yeah, right, Ms. In denial. Bye. ) she bid goodbye.

Rhea did not allow me to answer back because she ended the call right after she said those words. Aish, love fever; love fever. Me? In love? With Ken? No way! I suddenly smile when I remembered his smile of Ken.

” You look crazy there. ” I heard someone’s voice.

I am not on myself when I look in the direction of the voice. I saw the reason for my smile; I mean my annoyance.

” What? ” I asked in confusion.

” You are smiling like an idiot. Should I call the mental hospital? ” he asked.

” What? No. I just thought something. ” I irritably answered him.

” Is that me? ” he asked with a smirk on his face.

” Stop dreaming. ” I answered irritably, even if it is him I am thinking about.

Ken just burst out laughing and went near to my bed. He carefully put my breakfast table on my bed and put there the soup he made. It looks yummy.

” You can eat now. I just cooked whatever I saw on the refrigerator. ” Ken said.

I just nodded and started eating the soup. When I ate the soup Ken made, I was amazed. It is so yummy. Taste like heaven. Call me exaggerated, but it tastes very well. I stopped eating because I want to chew slowly to feel the taste of the soup.

” It tastes bad.” he asked.

” Taste good. ” I answered him smiling.

He looked away in my direction, and I noticed that his ears turned red. Is he sick too?

” Are you okay? ” I asked.

He just coughed before answering me. ” Yes, I just thought that you would not like it. You are the first one I cooked for. ” he admitted.

” Really? Even Caleb? ” I asked in amazement after what he said.

” Yes, so you need to eat all of that. Then, you will drink your medicine. ” Ken said while commanding me.

” I am not drinking medicine. ” I told Ken, sounding like a child.

” Then, you will drink now because, for today, I am your nurse. Simply call me nurse Ken at your service. ” he said while saluting.

He also winked at me. I should probably take my medication, or my nurse will get upset.
