"Ouch! Oscar! My stomach hurts!" Lisa complained, holding her lower stomach. She was still curled up on the ground. The blowing cold night wind made her whole body tremble, making it even more difficult to get up.
"Lisa, we better go back to the boarding house!" Oscar said.
He seemed very worried about Lisa's current state, the man didn't want her to get sicker so he pulled Lisa's hands but the woman refused. She kept her body on the ground and said, "No way! Anyway, if you're still angry, I won't stand up!"
This was the first time Lisa used a strategy that was usually used by most women to win her lover's heart; a typical cranky one. She was not the spoiled type but she was eager to try to use the weapons women usually used against their lovers so that Oscar wouldn't get angry with her anymore. It's annoying, but Lisa just wanted to test Oscar's sincerity and reaction.
As it turned out, the trick Lisa had just played with Oscar was working. The man was not angry and disappointed anymore, instead he looked confused and worried. "Lisa, please don't be spoiled like a child! The wind is so cold here, you'll catch a cold later!"
"Don't want to! Anyway, if you're still angry with me, I don't want to stand up!" She exclaimed. She wanted to laugh inside her heart at Oscar's confused expression and panicking behavior.
"Lisa, I'm not angry with you anymore. Now I need you to stand up before your pain gets worse!" Oscar exclaimed dryly. He rolled his eyes, annoyed by Lisa's childish attitude just now.
"You're lying! Where is the proof?" Lisa asked back. Her body was getting stuck on the ground.
Hearing her words which sounded like a spoiled child made Oscar's patience run out. Without saying much, the man immediately picked up Lisa's body and brought her back to the boarding house. Of course, Lisa was struggling as she didn't want to be brought back to the boarding house soon before she saw and heard herself. Oscar regretted what he had done when Lisa came clean about Rangga.
Lisa had to be sure that Oscar really believed her. She did not want him to believe her only half-way.
Even though Lisa was thrashing around, the man didn't seem affected at all. He still insisted on bringing her back to the boarding house with a flat face expression. It looked like she had to think of a new strategy to get the man to put her down.
"Get off me, Oscar! I don't want to go back to the boarding house before I hear from your mouth that you regret what you did!" Lisa whined.
"Shut up, I'll take you to the hospital. I don't want your illness to come back!" Oscar replied curtly and dryly.
"I don't need to be taken to the hospital! If you just massage and hug it, it will definitely heal!" Lisa answered.
Tired of all of Lisa's plays, Oscar finally put her down and looked at her with a flat face. His eyes flashed with resentment. He took a deep breath and said, "Lisa, I've had enough! Don't try to play with my feelings like this. Stop acting like an elementary school kid! You are not a spoiled woman to begin with. Stop playing with me! I will not fall into your tricks!"
In return, Lisa shrugged her shoulders. She was caught off guard. She smiled mischievously at the man and said, "Oops, looks like I got caught. Alright I can test your loyalty and sincerity. Besides, you used to play with my feelings a lot with your indifference too,"
"Lisa, are you taking revenge on purpose?" Oscar asked, his brows furrowed.
"Let's just say we're both broken from it, Oscar. I know my attitude just now was like a child, and it wasn't very mature of me. But to be honest, I'm hurt and disappointed that you don't want to believe my explanation about Rangga. I have said many times that I have no special relationship apart from being boss and subordinates," Lisa explained casually. She had her hands on her hips while staring at Oscar with a nosy face.
"Alright, does your stomach still hurt? If not, we will go back to the boarding house now," Oscar said as he put his arm around Lisa's shoulder. He leaned closer to her body, which was trembling cold in the night wind.
"It's not sick anymore, because you already hugged me," Lisa said in a spoiled tone while wrapping her arm around Oscar's arm.
"Damn, you teased me," Oscar said dryly. Strangely, the man was not as angry as before, and instead, he accepted the revenge from Lisa.
"I already said, we're both broken and we're even now. Isn't it good if you keep playing like that?" Lisa replied teasingly.
After a few minutes walking down a quiet alley that looked dim and scary, the two lovebirds returned to the boarding house and chatted with each other in the living room. Oscar made Lisa a cup of hot tea and covered her body with a blanket.
"Okay, I forgive you and I'm not angry anymore. I trust your explanation about Rangga. But remember, I want you to be honest with me in the future. Don't hide anything from me anymore. I don't want to have any misunderstandings between us," Oscar explained while massaging Lisa's legs which were stiff from walking through the night wind.
"Cool, Oscar. It's not cranky anymore," Lisa said ignorantly.
"How about your stomach? Does it still hurt?" Oscar asked spontaneously.
"It no longer hurts," Lisa replied casually. She took another sip of hot tea slowly.
"I didn't think you could be this spoiled!" Oscar said irritably. "Fine, since you've made me feel shaken, I want you to make me Indiemie with boiled eggs. Now!"
"Ah, are you serious? I'm so tired now," Lisa complained, she began to pretend to be spoiled again.
"It's your fault for daring to tease me," Oscar replied briefly, raising his eyebrows.
"Ugh fine I'll make it for you," Lisa went straight to the kitchen and prepared hot water and other cooking ingredients.
"Don't dare to tease me with your pretentious attitude again next time, Lisa. It really doesn't suit you to act so spoiled!" Oscar replied as he laid himself on the sofa.
"Don't worry, I promise I won't trick you anymore and I'll be honest with you in the future. But remember one thing," Lisa said, holding a knife as she came into the living room, then pointing it at Oscar.
"If I see you talk or contact Clara again, be sure that this knife will fly right to you!" Lisa said firmly. She sounded very serious.
"What, are you going to cut my genitals?" Oscar asked, teasing Lisa.
"That is, if you still contact Clara and if I catch you with that bitch, don't expect to still have your cock hanging around your crotch the next day," Lisa added a little threateningly. She pointed the knife in the air.
"Whoa, whoa, relax. I will not betray you. My relationship with Clara ended a long time ago. I only love you now, trust me. I will always believe in you too," Oscar got up from his couch and approached Lisa, removed the knife that she was holding and hugged her.
"By the way, please don't get the knife too close..." Oscar said a little nervously.
Hearing his sentence just now, Lisa immediately put her kitchen knife on the living room table. She hugged Oscar tightly again.
"Um, Lisa..."
"Yeah?"
"The instant noodles... Watch out or you'll burn them."
"Geez! I forgot about it!"
