Different Faiths But the Same Amen

31. Thank You For Your Love

In his anger Varen drove his car without direction and purpose. For more than an hour, Varen was just twirling around aimlessly. As long as he didn't say a word.

Until finally Varen stopped his car on a bridge that was a little dark because of the lack of lighting. Varen got out of the car and ran to the edge of the bridge.

"Ah.." she shouted furiously. Angry at the truth he just knew. Varen went up to the bridge.

Of course Ticia who saw him immediately ran out. Ticia then hugged Varen from behind. "Lo want to leave me?" he asked with tears that he could no longer bear. He actually wanted to cry at the restaurant. But he tried to hold it.

"Don't you love me?" he continued with sobbing.

Warm hugs are very effective in relieving explosive anger. Varen turned around and hugged Ticia tightly. Perhaps his thoughts, that woman was all he had now. Varen kissed the top of Ticia's head very gently.

"I'm sorry I scared you already." he said slowly. At that very moment, Varen's tears flowed out of control.

"Why is my life like this? My parents have no one to love me, they are all selfish, don't want to understand me.." Varen said fiercely, but she did not let go of her embrace at all.

Ticia raised her head. With his little hand he wiped the tears of the man who was able to make him fall in love. "There is still me, I will always love you." he said softly. His eyes looked at each other with Varen's eyes. Both eyes shed tears.

"Promise never to stay?" said Varen sticking his forehead against Ticia's forehead. Ticia nodded her head slowly.

Varen held Ticia's head, and they looked at each other. Under the dim light of the moon due to the black clouds covering it. The two lovers cut their lips together. Tighter and tighter as if unwilling to let go of each other.

"Uhm.". "the roar of the breath was heard clearly in the midst of the rampant silence.

Varen and Ticia get back in the car. Varen takes Ticia to a place that looks like a meadow. From that place, the city lights were flashing so beautifully in the far distance. The stars are also visible from the area.

Varen knew the place when he was a kid. Near the place where Varen's best friend lived. When Varen was a child, Varen often played to the place. Not at night but in the afternoon.

At the place, Varen and his little friend play chasing butterflies. Varen was only seven or about eight years old. When his father visited his friend's house. Varen will always come and play with the children of his papa friends. Who later became his childhood friend.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, brother.." Ticia did not expect that there was such a place in the area of the city that it seemed crowded.

"Sit here!" Varen pulled Ticia's hand to sit next to him.

Varen and Ticia sit in front of Varen's car. A moment of silence occurred. Varen still looks very sad. Ticia doesn't want to interfere with Varen's family. Because that's not his capacity. All he could do was entertain and always be beside Varen to provide moral support.

"Cia, is your mom cheating?" about ten minutes of silence. Varen opened his mouth.

"Is that just a reason for papa, so that papa can marry the same aunt that.." but Varen believes his father also loves his mother very much.

Ticia again only tightened her grip without answering her lover's complaint. Because he doesn't want to make things worse. Because he doesn't know what's really going on.

"Lo must have thought about the time papa slapped me earlier, right?" to be honest, Ticia's mind is still disturbed by the incident earlier.

"That's how papa has been these past two years. Every time I disagree with his wishes, he'll slap me." Varen held the corner of her lips which was still slightly swollen due to her papa slap.

Ticia turned and touched him as well. Ticia gently stroked the corner of Varen's lips with her thumb. "Still sick?" the question is gentle and attentive.

"No, but my heart hurts.." Varen led Ticia's other hand to her chest.

Ticia smiled slightly and looked at her lover fixedly. "Sister, regardless of what mom did to papa lo, they're still your parents. Respect them! Don't hate them!" ticia reminded Varen not to hate her parents.

Varen smiled then pulled Ticia into his arms. Varen gently kissed the top of Ticia's head. He's very grateful. Even though my mom and dad don't care about her anymore. There is still a woman who is now embraced as an encouragement for her life.

"Luckily God is good, so He brought me together lo. I can't imagine if I hadn't met you before, would I have been strong in this whole thing."

"Must be strong!" sahut Ticia quickly as she took off her embrace and looked at Varen inside.

"Lo has to be strong for yourself! Happiness is only created because you own, others only trigger your happiness not determine your happiness. And please don't do anything stupid like that! Look at the same people you love!" Ticia was still terrified when the incident before that. Ticia had no idea what would have happened had she not gotten out of the car immediately.

Varen looked at Ticia with a happy smile. Seriously, his heart felt cold to hear the words of his lover. Varen then wiped the lover's tears, and kissed her cheek. "I'm sorry if I scared you. I actually just wanted to go up and scream as loud as possible, not as you think. But I'm happy, because with that I know if there is someone who loves me very much, and is afraid of losing me." said Varen with a big smile.

"A lot of love with me?" varen Goda.

Ticia rounded her eyes at Varen's words. Ticia took off her embrace and pushed Varen's body slowly. But Varen did not want to let go of his embrace at all. "Who loves you too." refuted Ticia with a slight frown.

Varen smiled again and looked at Ticia who was trying to let go of her embrace. Seeing Ticia who was increasingly trying to let go of his embrace. Makes Varen even more unwilling to let go of hugs.

"Let's go back and forth!" only after Varen said that, Ticia no longer tried to take off her embrace. He nodded and remained in the arms of the lover.

Ticia knew how Varen was feeling right now. Ticia also extended her hand and hugged Varen. Ticia slightly stroked Varen's back gently. Like he wanted to say, "don't be sad, I'm here with you."

"Thank you for loving me so imperfectly!" lirih Varen's. And Ticia didn't answer just tightening her embrace.
