Trouble Maker
Chapter 20

The two of them were now looking at the lake before them in silence, busy with their own thoughts.

"Are you not in school?" Finally one of them opened their voice.

Gerald shook his head briefly back at the sight of the lake again.

"You truant, huh?" Ask the girl next to Gerald again. Back Gerald shook his head with a focused gaze forward.

"You yourself, why come here? You're not working or school maybe?" Ask Gerald later.

This time the girl who shook her head was accompanied by a heavy breath.

"You got a problem?" Gerald looked next to the person he was talking to.

The girl looked at him with a sad look. Sadness was clearly visible on his face even though he did not say a word.

Gerald patted his own shoulder slowly. "Look back, you can at least forget about your problem for a moment on my shoulder." Gerald said sincerely.

The girl followed what Gerald said. Silent long enough to greet them until suddenly it sounded he would be restrained from the girl beside the current Gerald.

"Why are all men the same?" The girl muttered with a pretty soft voice. If this place is crowded, maybe Gerald will not hear the words of the woman beside him.

With doubt Gerald rubbed the top of the woman's head that looked fragile. "Why in the world are all women the same?" Now it was Gerald's turn to ask his interlocutor.

The girl pulled her head away from Gerald's shoulder with her eyebrows raised, "you mean?"

Gerald shook his head accompanied by his knotty smile. "Forget over. So... would you like to share a story with me, Je?" Ask Gerald.

"No. We just met once, where would I share a story with you. What if you're a bad person and take advantage of my current situation."

Jessica, that figure looked back at the lake in front of her with a face filled with sadness.

Gerald began to understand what Jessica was going through, the girl he met at the ice cream shop. Faintly the corners of his lips lifted into a smile.

"You know the tavern girl, I'm feeling what you're feeling right now." Said Gerald who is now both staring at the natural beauty presented in front of him.

"You know what I'm feeling right now, huh?" Lick Jessica with a mocking tone.

Gerald nodded steadily, "you're heartbroken aren't you?" Guessing Gerald made Jessica turn her head straight at him.

"That's you, another with me." Refute Jessica. Gerald stared at Jessica, making them face to face.

"Virginally? I'm your boyfriend, huh." Joked Jessica as she scooped up Gerald's sinless face, making the man chuckle in response to Jessica's words.

"Soon's... Beb.." Gerald replied to Jessica's joke.

"Try you don't exist" said Gerald staring at the lake so quietly.

Jessica, who did not understand Gerald's words, looked at him with a confused look.

"Try you don't exist, surely there will be no words that are often called by people call 'love'." Gerald is still focused on looking straight ahead.

"You're heartbroken?" Guess Jessica.

Instead of answering, Gerald continued his words.

"At first I thought there was no true love, until you came along and turned me into a man who always put you first. I always go by looking for your replacement, but why does this feel even deeper if I recall your smile. Perhaps this is what people often call blind love, and I have become a slave to the love of someone who never even wants to see the magnitude of my love for him." Gerald said in a soft tone. Jessica silently listened to the words of the man beside her.

Jessica rubbed Gerald's shoulder slowly. Trying to give spirit through that swipe. "Why don't you go after her and express your true feelings without hurting other girls' feelings? Maybe the reason for not accepting you is one of them because you continue to change partners. Believe me, no woman wants her love to be shared, neither do I. If I were in that girl's position, I wouldn't accept you either." Jessica said a little.

They ended up getting carried away in so many conversations without remembering that it was afternoon.

Elsewhere, Rasya is enjoying his time watching his favorite movie accompanied by a jar of cookies.

"Yes.." call the figure behind the door of his room after knocking on the door a few times.

"Can you come in?" Further.

After Rasya asserted, Alex entered by shaking his head to see his favorite daughter eating in bed while watching TV.

"Ey Princess.not good to eat in bed, hurry down and have dinner." Alex said. Without refuting his father's words, Rasya got out of bed and went to the dinner table with his father.

The next morning, a commotion broke out at the beginning of the day. Where the cause of the uproar is Gerald, the badboy who has returned to his former nature. Along the way he kept cursing and hitting anyone who was blocking his way to the classroom. His friends could only shut up and shake their heads at Gerald. They choose to be silent do not want to be an easy target of men who get the title of gang leader in their group.

"Hey..want until when you do such a riot," prevent Gladys who happened to catch Gerald's action when he was hitting the face of a man with glasses. Gerald turned his head for a moment before he finally took off the rough grip of his hand that was on the collar of the bespectacled man's shirt.

"Go," drive Gerald cold.

He stepped his foot again without caring about what Gladys had just said. With a sharp look and an expressionless cold face he stepped his feet up the stairs. Just as Gladys was about to make a sound, Jun quickly held onto Gladys shoulder making the woman turn her head with a puzzled look. Jun simply shook his head, gesturing for Gladys not to go any further. Irritatedly the girl immediately left Jun and the others who were currently walking with big strides chasing after Gerald.

"Surge!" Jerk Gerald when his step was blocked by three children who were sitting on the stairs. Fearfully the three children went as Gerald had commanded.

"I'm sorry for him" said Revan, whispering slightly to the three children who were staring fearfully at the man who looked terrible. They nodded slowly.

As usual, Rasya is currently busy with his world. He had not noticed the chaos that was happening around him.

"Surge!" Jerk Gerald again at Jeffrey who was standing by leaning next to his waist at the end of the stairs.

Jeffrey, who was standing on Gerald's back, turned his head in a clueless look. "Not the road is still loose, why are you bothering me?" Jeffrey asked a little annoyed. He pointed at the empty side beside him, hinting Gerald to pass through the wide side.

"I said step aside, yeah move!" Snapped Gerald again with a crimson face holding back emotions.

"Hey... relax... are you coming to the moon so sensitive like this?" Jeffrey asked with a mocking look.

Without Jeffrey expecting it, Gerald immediately raised his fist right at the corner of Jeffrey's lips, making the man fall down right in front of Rasya.

Rasya who did not know their quarrel was surprised to find Jeffrey who fell down in front of him.

"Wake up!" Pulling Gerald forcing Jeffrey up from his place.

Rasya quietly stiffened. He still did not understand what was currently happening before his eyes. He quickly took off the earphones in his ear and stepped over to Jeffrey who looked pain in Gerald's grip.

"Gerald, off!" Rasya yelled at him while pulling Gerald's hand.

"Soge away." Gerald sizzle coldly without looking at Rasya.

"Rald..." Rasya called out in a soft voice. He rubbed Gerald's arm slowly hoping that the man would take off his hand which was on Jeffrey's collar.

"Please Rald," asked Rasya with a trembling voice. Gerald violently took off his grip while hanging Jeffrey's body to the floor, causing the man to complain of pain. Instead of feeling guilty, Gerald left Rasya who was busy helping Jeffrey.
