Lea's Jealous

Walking towards the balcony in the hotel room, there was a sound of Indian music echoing. Being noticed, the voice seemed to come from downstairs. The sound of the door closed, then the sound of the music began to disappear. Charlotte saw a man, suddenly appeared, the man while on the bus and who greeted him with a sweet smile. Looks like it's going to swim. Charlotte looked at the clock on her hand that showed three o'clock in the afternoon. He was surprised to see his action, whether he wanted to laugh or there was no water in his place. Swimming during the day is very taboo in Indonesia with very hot weather.

"Oh my God ...."

"Why Charlotte?" Lea came to hear Charlotte, who was shocked and said the name of God.

"That's it, right?"

"What…," Lea's shocked voice made the man know where Lea's voice came from.

The sharp gaze and sweet smile, Is it typical for people who come from India to have a face like that? Ok, Charlotte doesn't know about Indians, at least, it's a lucky day. It was unexpected to see him again. 

Then Charlotte glanced at Lea, her face looked tense and her eyes didn't want to look away from the man.

"Hello! Come here ... join me!" the boy greeted and called to invite me to join him.

"Yes I want" replied Lea directly. Not knowing whether consciously or not, all of that was spontaneous from the mouth of Lea.

Surprised by the expression on Lea's face that radiated, like what she had hoped to come true. Not prohibiting it, but just asking to be careful. However, strangers who are not known should be more careful. What's more, Lea who doesn't speak English, stupid, will really need patience to speak in body language. Foreign men who don't know what Lea really looks like, don't lose their taste first.

"Be careful Lea! You don't know who he is, do you!"

"Take it easy, I have prepared to be able to speak English well."

"It is not a problem of language, what if you are hurt or you are lied to?"

"Don't always think negatively, Charlotte!"

"Hmmm, alright. Oh yeah, you didn't go to the beach today?"

"Looks like I'm better off in the hotel, because there is my prince, hehe."

"Oh, all right. I'll go alone, later."

Charlotte saw Lea who had started to step down to the ground floor. Those who looked even more familiar, various jokes and laughter were seen and Leah's actions seemed to show that she could swim with her floating style. In Charlotte's heart, a little jealous actually. Lea who is that easy is close to a man, who she is relatively new to know.

Not infrequently the boy looked at Charlotte while standing on the balcony. Sometimes occasionally stealing glances when Lea was not paying attention. Increasingly, I don't want to see them. Don't know, suddenly it's disgusting and unsightly. Charlotte decided to go to the beach instead. Seeing the waves will be more calming than having to see them having fun.

Charlotte changes clothes to go to the beach. Don't want to look sexy, by wearing an outer dress that can cover the exotic black bralette. He started walking, past Lea and the boy who was swimming, trying not to look at them and just focus on walking.

"Charlotte come here… join us!" Lea called and invited to swim together, but there was no face when she spoke. Like just making small talk. Besides, Charlotte also doesn't want to swim when the sun is hot.

"Hello ... you'll go?" greetings and questions that guy, for some reason, this heart suddenly felt happy and his heart was beating faster.

Do not reply to his invitations and greetings. Throwing a smile is enough to be less cocky. He hastened his pace, trying to divert the heart that was already rumbling wildly, feelings mingled with disappointment for the very selfish Lea. 

Why Charlotte should be disappointed ... why didn't Charlotte just join in to seek sympathy for that guy too? that appear just when Charlotte walked towards Kuta beach, the beach is not far from the hotel. A question that Charlotte had simply not planned and did not wish to hope for.

Charlotte, who was enjoying swimming with the new boy, didn't think about it again after arriving at the beach. There are many visitors there, the view of the sea with the pounding and rolling waves that spoil the eyes. Instantly forgetting everything, becoming a natural connoisseur, that Charlotte didn't want to look tacky. Now and then looking right and left to pay attention to other visitors, free, that's what they do, so Charlotte will not hesitate to behave the same.

"Argh ...," shouted as loud as possible, Charlotte closed her eyes and ran to the beach, raising her hands and taking off.

The current rumbled heard in the ear getting louder, the eyes were not ready to open, and it grew tighter. Enjoy God's creation, while there is still a chance for time. The mind calmed down and Charlotte felt deeper.

Not long after, Charlotte began to open her eyes. Stepping into the seawater, grains of sand stick to the skin. Letting the sand stick to the white feet stained with sea water dirt, no matter if in the end, you will come home with a dirty body. Feelings of pleasure can already add to the risks.

--000--

Sunset has started to be embarrassed, the time is getting late and sinking that can no longer be seen by both eyes. Charlotte, tired of playing with the water, pulls over to the surface and takes a sitting posture. The night gets crowded with the beach conditions. Not long after, the phone rang, which was none other than Lea calling. Sad, but Charlotte must lift to appreciate friendship.

"What time are you coming home? It's late. Hurry hotel!"

"Yes, I'm going now. It's been a while, huh!"

Ah, Lea is quite annoying. Though Charlotte still wants to enjoy the night atmosphere on the beach. For ten years of living in Jakarta, Charlotte has never felt the beauty of the beach. Really not as expected, forced to return to the hotel. Even though I didn't want to see him because of the bad feeling seeing the two of them.

Very lazily. Walking towards the back like when leaving this afternoon. Bali is very enchanting at night, sparkling lights greet the steps. The distance is only a hundred meters, making Charlotte's steps have to end the night atmosphere on the side of the road.

The hotel clerk greeted kindly, behaving like a special guest. Reply with a smile and a word. The walk will enter the hotel. Pause for a moment when passing a swimming pool, immediately thought of Lea, who this afternoon swam with the man.

"Hi!" the voice of someone greeted, it was clear that the direction came from a gazebo opposite the swimming pool.

Not wanting to know who he was, Charlotte put feet into the pool to clean up the remaining sand that had washed up from the beach. And take off the jacket cover bralette. 

After sending a chat message to Lea, Charlotte immediately entered the body into the pool. No matter if anyone saw, Charlotte just wanted to freshen up and clean up the dirt she was carrying.

The boy who greeted from the gazebo, not realizing it, was already sitting on the edge of the pool. Charlotte watched as she was going out of the pool. The boy was none other than the guy who had been with Lea. He looks on and smiles. Charlotte immediately smiled back.

"Are you from Jakarta?"

"Yes, do you speak Indonesian?"

"Of course I can, a little bit, I have lived in Indonesia for a long time."

"Oh okay."

"You look prettier than her."

"But you like her, right? Hahaha ...."

"No."

"Is it true?"

"Of course."

"Don't over-praise to me!"

"Those are the facts."

Ashamed and flattered by her, Charlotte feels more special than Lea. But Charlotte is still not sure, but her words are quite neutralizing the thought that she is only friendly to everyone and there is no love for Lea.

"Charlotte ... what are you doing?" Lea shouted from the balcony, she saw Charlotte sitting with Hansh. Hansh was the boy's name, the guy Lea had liked from the start.

"Yes, I'll go upstairs, Le."

Feeling bad about Lea, Charlotte immediately left Hansh just like that. Not trying to get along because I didn't want to make Lea jealous. Knowing that Lea liked this man, she didn't want any disagreements that were just inconsequential chat.

Kreek! Just entered, a strange sight was presented.

There was no smiling face from Lea, Charlotte looked and tried to be normal. What Hansh really was was just a casual introduction and it didn't need to be a problem.

Charlotte took a towel and stepped into the bathroom to clean herself. Lea, who sat on the bed, didn't give any words or questions about the beach.

After finishing the shower, Charlotte saw Lea, already sleeping with her head covered with a blanket as if going to sleep soon. Charlotte was confused by Lea's sudden gloomy and silent attitude. Oh, is she really mad? Is she jealous? the question suddenly appeared. Without feeling guilty, Charlotte took the courage to rebuke her.

"Are you sick, Le?"

"No, just sleepy."

"Oh, great. Oh, yes, where are we tomorrow?"

"Think about tomorrow! By the way, you guys look familiar, earlier."

"What was?"

"Yes."

"No, just plain introduction. Besides, I also didn't know at first, when I was going to clean up the remaining sand that I brought from the sea. Are you jealous Lea?"

"No, I don't like Indian guys. Haha ... he's not my type."

"Oh, yes, it's up to you."

There is a lie from Lea's words. Charlotte knew from the start that she met, Lea already liked that guy. There was no denying that Lea was already jealous. 

And the night becomes uncomfortable, Lea who is getting close makes Charlotte unable to think what to do. If you have to get away from Hansh, and for what? After all, there's really no special relationship. Don't know what Lea wants. 

Charlotte also doesn't want to hurt a friend's heart. I do not know if tomorrow morning he will invite him back to Jakarta or still on vacation in a chaotic mood.[]
