Breaking the Boundaries of Love

The Star's Love Statement

June 24 is Rara's birthday. Joe had prepared a special gift for the woman he loved. She accidentally bought it when she went to Paris during a class break a few days ago. She wrapped it in pink heart-drawn wrapping paper.

At exactly eight in the night, Joe met Rara at her house, at her doorstep she carried a beautiful medium-sized tart with a heart-shaped red and brown rose ornament. A candle that says 14. She lights her candle just before Rara opens the door for her.

"Suprice...."

Rara was silent to look at Joe who was behind the door. Joe sang a happy birthday song to her.

"Happy birthday, Rara ...!"

Uncommanded Rara blew her lily right after Joe finished singing. In her make a wish Rara hopes to meet again with Mom and can be the best for her.

"Thank you, Joe. I'm very impressed. Do you know I have a birthday today?!"

"Of course I know. I came home early on my vacation to Paris, for your special day, Ra"

"You're so nice, Joe"

Not her happy heart Joe heard the compliments of Rara. Joe put his cake and card on the table. Rara came from inside to bring two cups of warm chocolate.

"It's a special gift from me to you, Ra"

"What'sthis? I'm so troubling you, Joe. Thank you, Joe. You have helped me so much all along. I owe you one. You are my best friend"

"Friend?"

"Yes, my best friend"

Joe remained silent. He was a little shaken to hear it. Is he just considered a friend?

"Rba..."

"Hmmm.."

"What ... Can't we be more than friends, Ra?"

"You mean?"

Joe was silent again. He gathered his courage to talk while arranging his heart well to receive any answer from the beautiful woman before him.

"Rba..."

"I want to be honest with you, Ra. Whatever your response will be. The important thing is that I've revealed what I really feel"

"Ra. when we first met at the audition first. I'm starting to like you. Liked your voice. Your style. Your looks. I even like everything inside you"

"Rb ... I love you the same. I wish we could be more than friends. I want you to open your heart to me"

"If I may, I'd like to hear how you feel about me, Ra. Can you accept me as ... Your boyfriend?"

Rara quiet. Silence can say nothing. He won't lie. He doesn't want to make anyone feel hurt. He arranged with baim the words he was about to say. He wants to be true to himself, to his own heart.

"Joe ..."

"I'm so thankful you love me. I'm so happy to know and be close to such a nice guy like you, Joe. You are always there when I am sad or happy. Even you're the one who always makes me smile, Joe"

"But I'm sorry, I can only think of you as my best friend. My best friend, Joe. Even if we could be brothers, Joe. I hope you're not hurt by what I'm saying. I'm sorry, Joe"

Within seconds it was like a bomb had exploded in Joe's heart. His heart was instantly shattered into pieces. I want it to feel like he is screaming. Crying out. But his self-esteem is too high to show his weakness in front of the woman he loves. Joe could only smile.

She clasped Rara's hand, staring at her face tightly. Trying once again to pierce the little heart of the woman. For Rara, Joe's cries flowed a warmth in her heart. But once again Rara did not want to lie to herself.

"I can take it, Ra. You don't have to apologize. This is an error. It's about the heart. The honesty of your heart that speaks. But I hope our relationship won't get any worse after this. I wish we could be friends like we always are"

"Joe, you don't have to worry. I'm still Rara as you used to know. Thank you, Joe. You want to understand me"

All the way home Joe was just in the car. He didn't say a word, his driver just glanced at him from the rearview mirror of the front of the car. There was sadness on his master's face.

When he got home, Joe went straight into the room. Towards the bathroom. Without taking off all her clothes again she turned on the shower.

The water from the shower soaked every strand of Joe's clothes, he didn't care about anything else at the time. Can only be silent in his sadness. He must be able to accept this reality.

"Rara Pratiwi never opened her heart to her"
