CHAPTER 17

“Hey bro! seems like you’re so busy today… even though it's already vacation!” Damon said while sitting on his bed. 

Aku looked at his naughty friend “Ehem! Well someone was so lazy that he wouldn’t help me do this research that our professor Jane tells us to do” Aku said, he went back to his work. 

“Bro I know that it was already done and you just keep yourself busy, so that I wouldn’t ask you about what happened to your date with Zara” Damon said.

“Cough* I need to revise it a little” Aku explained, he was so embarrassed that his face was so red. “Bro, with us working on that research… will there be a mistake, and for your information I did help you a lot on that research” Damon protested. 

Aku closed his laptop, he looked at Damon, the truth is the research Professor Jane told them to do was done a long time ago and already submitted. Damon and Aku made the research one week only and submitted it immediately. 

“Bro! why are you looking at me like that?” Damon said, “Bro! you know that I always help you with our activities… we always equally shared it, even though you are doing it first you always leave the half work for me to do!” Damon added. 

Aku don’t know what to say… Damon was right they both equally shared their work, that is why Aku can’t retaliate with him. But this was the first time Damon protested to him so he wasn’t prepared and was shocked that he could only look at Damon.

“Now bro! you know that you couldn’t run away to this question of mine… what did happen to your date?” Damon said smiling mischievously. 

Aku can’t run away to Damon’s question “it’s not a date… her mom and some maid are there”. 

“HAHAHAHAHA! Bro you are so cute… I know that something happened!” Damon said, he stood up and grabbed a seat and put it beside Aku and he sat. 

“Nothing happened...” Aku said as he looked away a bit. “Then did you realize something?” Damon said, he can read Aku… he was his best friend so that is not that shocking. 

Aku looked at Damon and was shocked for a bit, he knew that Damon would ask that but even though he knew he wasn’t prepared at all. 

“Yes… I do realize something… I realize that I like her” Aku answered Damon. He was a little embarrassed but he felt relieved that he did say what he felt to someone. 

Damon looked at Aku seriously “Bro! don’t trick yourself… you like her from the start… I know that if you say you like someone it only means as a friend, but what I saw on your face and heard it’s not only like but it developed as love…don’t fool yourself like and love isn’t the same”. 

Aku was shocked, his silly and naughty friend was so different today. “Damon you are so different today…” Aku can only say that, he can’t disagree with his friend because he knew what Damon said was right. 

“Bro for you I could be serious… but well I am always serious to my beloved Audrey” Damon said. 

Aku was touched at first but when he heard the last part of what Damon said he regretted it. 

“Bro! I don’t want you to regret” Damon said, he looked at his phone and looked at Aku. “What?” Aku said when he was confused why his friend was looking at him while smiling, he felt that something might happen. 

“Nothing… I just want to invite you to go to the mall because my beloved refused to go with me because she was so busy… I don’t know why she was so busy ‘IT’S VACATION BRO… VACATION WHAT IS SHE SO BUSY WITH!!!!” Damon was so sad these  few days, because he couldn’t meet with Audrey as she always refused his invitations.

Aku felt sorry for his friend and couldn't refuse… he knew that today his eardrums will hurt because of Damon… 

...

Thirty minutes have passed, Aku and Damon are at the mall looking for a shoe shop. “Bro! let’s look there” Damon said while pointing at the shoe shop. 

Damon wants to buy new rubber shoes while Aku was only accompanying him so that Damon could ask his opinion. 

They went inside the store “Bro! you should tell her your feelings… invite her and tell her how you felt… it doesn’t mean that you will change your relationship status but it means that you’re asking her permission to court her okay” Damon said while looking at the shoes. 

Aku was shocked, they are not yet finished with that topic yet… Aku thought that Damon would talk about Audrey. “While I am busy here looking for new rubber shoes, asked her out!” Damon commands. 

He looked at Aku with a serious looked. Aku grabbed his phone and text Zara, he knew that Damon would bother him if he didn’t ask Zara out. 

…

Few hours had passed, Damon was so picky looking for a new rubber shoe that hours had passed. While looking around the mall to find a suitable place to eat. Damon saw Zara with a guy beside her. 

“Bro! isn’t that Zara… who is she with?” Damon asks, pointing at Zara. “Hmm… I don’t know” Aku was looking at Zara, he felt for a moment that his heart stings a bit. 

“Bro! Zara has a boyfriend!!! you didn’t know?” Damon said and looked at Aku who had an awful face. 

“HEY! Don’t your conclusion was a bit… she didn’t say that she has a boyfriend so don’t assume” Aku said with a mixed emotion. 

“Well asked her when you met her…. HAHAHAHA!!! But your face bro! it was so funny!” Damon said he was a bit naughty, looking at his friend who fell in love for the first time. 

“She agreed… we will meet at DEZ café next week…” Aku said and walked toward the seafood restaurant…
