Catherine has no problem with her complicated love relationship with Alexander, both of them even openly show their other lovers and often they secretly hide their relationship status from everyone, even the public except for large families, as if the relationship has been done. they are both just like an outlet and a love game just like today, Catherine looks excited to show off the pearl necklace that Dennis gave to Alex on the balcony of the girl's room.

"Oh, Dennis" Alex replied so calmly as if there was no jealousy in him, he was instead busy typing messages on the cellphone he had been holding.

"Who are you chatting with? Bianca?"

"No, but zoy" he looked at Catherine who nodded quickly while embracing Alex's shoulder affectionately.

"A new crush again? I thought I was the only one with a crush," he kissed the man's cheek, then looked slyly.

"Who is it?" Alex asked while stroking his lover's long hair.

"The famous basketball player on our campus, he is even more handsome than you" said spoiled Catherine while pinching the young man's sharp nose, both of them immediately laughed at each other and smiled happily.

I don't know what these two couples are thinking, it seems that it's so easy for them to play with other people's feelings, especially Alex, who from his high school days has been in a lot of relationships with girls and is never satisfied with flirting with other girls.

"Okay, I'm going to pick up Bianca first at the salon." He let go of Catherine's arms and smoothed her hair in front of the mirror.

"Alex, are you sure you haven't forgotten something?" He blinked his eyes by giving a kiss signal to the man, Alex who saw his adorable and voluptuous behavior immediately walked over to Catherine and kissed the girl's forehead for a long time, until finally he walked away from the girl's room.

After feeling that Alex had gone far enough, Catherine immediately grabbed her cellphone and called a man who was none other than Dennis.

He looks so engrossed in chatting via call with his boyfriend, his attitude is completely different when he is with Dennis and Alex as if he is indeed an expert in playing many roles between the two men. -really made him be himself that is Alexander.

Alexander who is his first love and the person who has always been there for him since childhood, he loves Alex very much, especially since the death of his older brother who is also a close friend of Alex, he makes Alex a place of refuge from all the sadness and loneliness that always haunts his life.

***

Tonight as usual Alex's extended family held a dinner together which also invited Catherine with the intention of discussing business and also their long relationship.

Of course, Catherine is the only woman Alex's parents know as the woman who fills the young man's heart, after all, Aunt Anggi seems to agree and approve of their relationship.

"So when are you guys getting engaged?" Asked Aunt Anggi, Alex suddenly choked and looked surprised to hear his mother's words just now.

"Hmmm.. I guess we'll just have to wait for college, tan." Catherine answered spontaneously, Aunt Anggi and uncle Tian just nodded in the affirmative, because it's their son who is in a relationship, so let the decision be in their hands.

"Yes ma, I also think the same as Catherine"

"Yes, I think you two are already very compatible, so it's impossible to break up in the middle of the road" the two of them just smiled in approval while looking at each other.

They are really good at hiding their illicit relationship from everyone, including those closest to them and their families.

"In the middle of the dessert, Alex's cell phone rang, so he couldn't help but get up from his chair and walk a little further away after seeing Bianca's contact name appear on the screen.

"Night, dear Bianca.." He said, "why? do you miss me?"

continued the man again excitedly.

"Yeah, right, you haven't told me since this morning. Oh yeah, what are you doing to make yourself so happy?" Asked the girl named Bianca from across there.

"Just having dinner with the family, luckily you saved me from the tension of the atmosphere earlier that's why I'm happy"

He is really good at words, in the middle of the conversation, a soft hand rested on Alex's shoulder, from behind also the girl in the blue dress gently hugged Alex's dashing body and grabbed the young man's cellphone, after seeing the name of the contact who was communicating with Alex then he gave the phone back to Alex.

"You're welcome Alex, but when are you going to introduce me to your parents?" At least that's what Catherine heard clearly when she reached for the young man's cell phone.

"As soon as possible," Alex answered briefly, he was always stupid when it came to serious relationships, that's why only Catherine usually helped him in answering all of Alex's girlfriends' questions related to serious things like earlier, but not when he was with Bianca.

So Catherine prefers to remain silent and is not at all reluctant to help Alex, she wants her lover to take a firm stand against her relationship with Bianca because it is not only her who has had a long relationship with Alex but Bianca as well.

"Alex, do you love me?" Bianca asked, gosh the question that girl asked so often and it felt like his lips were almost stiff to answer his question.

"Of course, I love you"

"Am I still in your heart, Alex?" The same question struck the young man as well, but it came from the lips of a girl like Catherine and made him stare into Catherine's eyes for a long time. The two stared at each other, a warm gaze that couldn't be predicted at all until Alex's gaze finally stopped when Bianca screamed out. his name.

"yes why bi?"

"It's okay, I'm happy that you still love me"

"Yes, yes, I'm closing, because I can't miss dinner too long tonight"

"Yes, good night Alex" Alex immediately ended the call without having time to answer Bianca's evening greeting, then he put his cellphone in his pants pocket and turned to Catherine.

"Why are you asking that? It's not like we've committed not to talk about our feelings anymore"

"Sorry, I just got carried away" He pleaded guilty because he almost broke the promise between them.

"Okay, I hope you don't feel jealous cath" Catherine looked weak and just nodded shyly agreeing everything Alex said.

But Alex is not a man who doesn't care, in fact he is the most sensitive man and really cares about all women, especially Catherine so that he is often nicknamed a romantic man for most of his former lovers, just like now. The young man immediately knew that at this time The atmosphere between him and Catherine was awkward and he could feel jealousy from within Catherine.

With great tenderness, he kissed her lips and this romantic apparition lasted for about a few seconds after which Alex finished and stroked Catherine's long hair.

"However I'm still yours, please don't talk about my feelings for you because I'm not a man who likes to make commitments"

"You have to learn to commit, Alex."

"With you? it won't be possible after you played with me first" said Alex firmly, now he was really annoyed with Catherine who suddenly became another girl who almost resembled Bianca even though before Catherine was a different girl who he really adored.

"Stop being weak, I hate you like that"

"Okay I was wrong, but what if Dennis or Erick want to commit to me? I have to leave you"

Alex just sighed, he regretted picking up Bianca's call just now if the impact would be like this, he knew that the only girl that Catherine was most jealous of was Bianca, he should have stayed away from both of them so he wouldn't be attacked like this.

"You will never leave me and I will only choose you, you woman!!" He immediately removed his hand from the girl's hair and straightened her clothes again, then grabbed Catherine's hand.

"Let's go back to dinner shirts, they must be waiting for us" But Catherine held Alex's hand to stay here with her, now she was filled with guilt for past events and suspected that Alex didn't love her anymore.

"I really feel guilty for toying with you first"

"cath, forget about it"

"There's no way I can forget that you never forgive him, you are not angry with me but you hate the past about us and now I doubt that you still love me" Said Catherine who spoke in a relaxed and elegant tone, but her eyes were starting to tear up. glass can't lie.

"I was the first to cheat on you" he continued, but Alex still didn't care about Catherine's outpouring. He just wiped the girl's tears with his fingers.

"The only thing I hate in this world is making you cry" he said without looking Catherine in the eye, then he pulled the girl's hand back to the dining table with the silence between the two of them.
