ALASKA~ BAY
episode 9

"Go home, I'm anter."

When other girls always pretend not to want to and say 'no need', 'can go home alone', 'don't bother'.

Ana immediately nodded her head without hesitation and said.

"Okay, but I'm the one with the bike."

It felt like Alister wanted to say something rude and throw the girl away when he heard her words.

Does Ana want to drop her pride?

Or is it his brain that is a little slid?

Alister only widened his eyes in shock, the man did not take out a single word, like a statue, the difference was that Alister blinked several times indicating that he was still alive.

"Ehem, o-okay not so," said Ana nervously and slightly showed her teeth.

It seems like Ana's words just got it wrong, she should be ready to get another rant from Alister.

"Why not be?" alister replied who suddenly came to a realization from his daydream.

"No, just not so."

Ana ducked in fear, her hands trembling again. Until now though Ana is still afraid of Alister.

Although he was always smiling, Alister's wounds were still imprinted, although he always answered Alister's words without hesitation but there was still fear when he was with Alister.

And this time, Alister can see it. Yes, seeing the fear that Ana had been hiding from her all along.

For some reason, it feels so different.

"Gue was just shocked, you want to damage my self-esteem or what? Or you want to..."

Ana instantly cut off Alister's speech.

"I-I'm sorry if I was wrong... I went home by myself, not far."

As fast as lightning Ana immediately ran away leaving Alister and of course she followed Ana from behind.

"Dad!" call Alister.

"Lo scared of me?"

Alister was still riding his bike slowly right beside Ana. Unfortunately, this time Ana did not answer.

"Hey, I know you're horrifying me."

Ana arrived in front of her house and ran straight into her house without even answering Alister's words.

Alister got off the bike and chased Ana. He knocked on the door several times loudly, like an impatient person.

Not an angel who came out but a sinister demon figure. Yes, Diana opened the door with a creepy face making Alister stop.

"That's. Anu-"

"My father said, right. Don't bother my son anymore!" diana's snapping made Alister take a deep breath so that he was given strength by the almighty to hold back his emotions.

"GO!"

Alister breathed a sigh. It seemed like there was nothing the guy could do anymore to face this monster.

Ana from above her room sees Alister's departure. He knew, his mother would throw him out. It's not just that the sun is half down and the clouds are getting dark.

But... Because Alister's already famous for dangerous delinquents.

Ana locks her bedroom door and takes a deep breath and hides behind her blanket.

What does he expect from a guy like Alister? He's just a guy who keeps hurting him.

Don't get your hopes up, Ana. Say it in the heart.

There was no way he would want to be friends let alone joke around and share a laugh with her. So then... One thing he has to do.

Ana can't be too open and talk to that guy a lot. If it continues like that, all he has is going to get the curses and spicy words from Alister.

One more thing, Alister's only gonna hurt her.

"Ana, with Mama. Can you stay away from Alister? Mama never asked for anything with you, Mama loved you, Mama was afraid you were okay."

The clouds were dark, the sun was drowning and the moon was shining perfectly to light the cold night.

But her night is now filled with Diana's chirp that continues to fear because Alister is disturbing Ana, his favorite child.

"Yes, Ma. Ana tau ko."

Ana smiled sweetly while holding Diana's hand.

"So you don't have to worry."

Diana was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief as Ana said so.

"Yaudah, Ana to the room first yes, Ma. I'm writing."

"His milk?" ask Diana. Because she always gives warm milk every night to Ana.

"Here you take the milk."

Ana immediately brought the chocolate milk to her room, she took a deep breath and locked her room.

Just as Ana wants to open her bedroom window and stare at the moon in the dark sky as usual, she suddenly gets a hand shadow behind her window.

Tok.dok...

A ghost?

Before long there was a shadow of a face, the shadow was getting clearer until it showed the contrast of his face.

"Alister?"

Tok.tok...

The tapering was getting louder as if he wanted Ana to open the window.

Shaking his hand opened the window, and... Sure enough, Ana got Alister there.

"Alister, what are you doing here?"

Love you readers...
