Can I Love?

Part 40: Rejected again?

Rendy who felt that there was an opportunity for her, tried hard to get closer to Lina. The only girl whose name is always in his heart, from the beginning met until now.

Even though for many years did not meet each other, the feelings that were in rendy's heart remained the same.

Every day after work she would show up at Lina's house to spend time together, talk about work, activities she did, and more. Since lina had quit her job, because she did not want to meet again with the man who always kept her. He stopped and decided to look for a much better job than before.

Even though he was comfortable working there with a very good co-worker and watching her, he stopped.

And it's much better than someday andi bothering her back.

His proximity to rendy has got the green light from kak jhon, because kak jhon knows that rendy is a kind man and certainly can take care of lina well.

With its humorous rendy nature, it can always make lina laugh happily, and make the atmosphere not feel cold and awkward.

Exactly the third week of April, on rendy's birthday.

Lina invites rendy to meet somewhere that became their favorite while together in High School.

Lina took him to dinner. They enjoyed dinner with a happy atmosphere that enveloped their hearts

After she finished eating, Lina opened the conversation

"happy birthday, ren. May you always be happy, abundant fortune, always healthy and certainly remain in the protection of God"

"thank you so much lin. It's the first time you've made the cave dinner on the cave's birthday. The seneng cave lin"

(rendy's face looks happy)

"iya ren is the same. oh yes bentar"

(lina opened the bag she had been carrying since then, then picked up a small box wrapped in gift paper that read "happy birthday"

"this is for you, ren. It's not worth much, but I want you to use it as a sign of our friendship"

Lina gave the box to rendy, and he immediately opened it.

It turned out that the contents of the box were a dark blue jacket.

Rendy liked the gift very much and immediately put it on right then and there

"wahh very good, fit again the size. The cave likes it, thanks lin"

She smiled happily got the gift of lina, she was ceaselessly stroking the elus jacket lina gave

"yes the same. Udah ah, do not in elus elus mulu shy to know about people"

"hehehh"

"yukkkkkkk.. Yukkkk"

Lina went to the cashier and paid the bill. Because from the beginning he told rendy that he would pay his bills as a treat for rendy.

Upon arrival at home, Lina got off her rendy motorcycle, unlocked her helmet and handed it to rendy.

"ni ren her helmet. You heart heart on the road yes"

Rendy took the helmet and hung it on the back seat of the bike

"i'm in ya"

"wait lin"

Lina's steps came to a halt as rendy pulled his hand

"why ren?" ask lina

"i want to say something. Can you?"

"can. What are you talking about"

"hmm. huft.." (rendy sighed briefly, trying to convey his heart)

"gua wants her to be serious about lu lin. If the feeling of the cave to you is still the same as before, Lu would not accept the feeling of the cave"

Lina was silent for a moment

"why silence lin? The cave just wants you to answer honestly, Lin. The cave has no chance for you. Years lin, the feeling of the cave to you did not change a little" said rendy

Lina remained silent.

"lin, answer me honestly. The cave doesn't mind whatever your answer is, the cave accepts"

Hearing rendy's words, Lina answered him

"i'm grateful you have such a good feeling for me. I am also grateful that you have always treated me well. Thank you for loving me sincerely. But sorry, for now I can't open my heart. I'm afraid that someday I'll be disappointed, I'm afraid that our relationship won't end well"

His eyes began to look glassy, making rendy speechless and did not continue his words again.

"i want us to be in office. That's better"

Lina ended the conversation between them, then went inside the house leaving rendy who was still there
