The Young Man One
Dirty Clothes

Kelvan was pensive in place with his hands hanging in the air. He too late grabbed Livia who was now fused with the land. The paddy field there had just finished being plowed, so it was only filled with watery soil. The woman got up with a face that could not be seen clearly because it was covered with soil.

Livia wanted to cry, but the layer of soil on her face contained sadness. He was very upset, his face heated up, especially when he looked at Kelvan. How could she end up being like that in front of her own lover.

"An—da—"

"Don't say anything" Kelvan said quickly. He reached out his hand, then said back, "If you speak, then the ground will enter into the mouth later. Now hold my hand so you can climb up here."

Livia had no reason to refuse, even though she was very embarrassed now. He grabbed the man's hand, then pulled himself slowly. Unfortunately, again he stepped on the same ground that made him slip back.

This time Kelvan was not late. He manages to balance himself and also captures Livia. His heart was pounding for two things, himself hugging Livia, then himself who was almost drowning in the ground. It was never thought what it would be like if she was in Livia's position with a face full of mud.

Livia at least threw away the layer on her face a little, moved to buy Kelvan clothes. He feels more guilty about what happened to them.

"S—s—"

"I told you not to talk."

"But—"

"Better we go back now."

Livia felt anger from that attitude. He didn't want to talk anymore, fearing that Kelvan would be angrier. Later after they are in good condition, he is determined to correct his mistake.

Arriving at grandma's house, the three people left were immediately stunned, especially at Livia whose face was filled with land. In fact, from the watery land there are already dry so that the color is different, even with his clothes.

"A—what happened?" Nea says.

"Are you Livia?" The grandmother scrunched her head. "I barely recognized my own grandson behind that muddy face!" He was clapping, even clapping.

Livia lowered her head deeply. The laughter of the three people ahead was still heard, mocking what had happened to him. Meanwhile, he had to correct his mistakes as well as his embarrassment in front of Kelvan.

"I'm sorry. You must be very angry, because of my carelessness that made your expensive clothes dirty."

"I don't regret it."

Livia raised her eyes. "How could that be? I've harmed you."

Kelvan smiles. "Abgrieved me? We were holding hands for the first time and hugging. Compared to harm, I think it's more to gain."

Livia blushed her face red. "Suddenly ... A—anda makes me feel ashamed."

Kelvan turned his gaze from Livia in the other direction. He became extremely embarrassed after saying that and his heart was racing right now, something he had not felt for a long time. And why does he look like a teenager with such shyness?

"You better go. S—I don't think I'd be able to keep quiet if I saw you continue with me here."

He must admit that he cannot deny the reality of shyness like a teenager.

"But your clothes ...."

Kelvan watched the clothes he was wearing. Very dirty.

"I seem to have something for you to wear for a while while while waiting for your clothes to dry."
