Different Faiths But the Same Amen

72. Thank You Love

Varen was alone in the school backyard during break time. It was where he usually calmed his mind. The place was quite shady and quiet. There were usually only a few pairs of courting disciples in that place. But this time, none of them were seen. Maybe they're still in the cafeteria.

At that time Varen's position was under a large trunked tree in the back yard of his school. Without a seat, Varen leaned his body against the tree.

Varen pulled out the phone he had in his pants pocket. He looked through the photos in his cell phone gallery. Her smile expands when she sees a photo she really likes.

Yes, it was a photo of Ticia that he still kept. Photos he once made wallpaper on his phone.

Varen then considered contacting Ticia. He has already typed in a message and just sent. But Varen stopped. He hesitated to send the message.

While thinking. Suddenly he receives a message from Rosalinda. Rosalinda said she was looking for Varen everywhere, but could not find Varen. Finally he asked Varen for his position now.

"Gue's on the toilet" Varen wrote lying. After that, Varen moved from his seat. By patting his back pants clean the dust stuck in his pants.

But who would have thought if from behind the tree. Ticia did the same. As they stood together, they unintentionally looked at each other.

Just like Varen. Ticia was also often aloof in that shade.

"Sir Vava," muttered Ticia in shock.

"Cia," Varen muttered in shock as well. But Varen looks happy to meet Ticia at that place. Before when I was dating. They also go to that place often.

"Lo here too?" asked Varen with a happy smile.

"Yes, Mr Vava, uh, brother Varen isn't going to the cafeteria?" ask Ticia back.

"It's also going to the cafeteria" Varen replied a little nervously.

"If I go first, brother!" pamit Ticia also looked nervous. In order to avoid her nervousness, Ticia chose to precede Varen to leave the place.

"Cia" but Varen held her hand.

"Cia, I'm sorry for misjudging you, I'm sorry for not thinking about you" said Varen as he walked up to Ticia. Without releasing his hand.

"I'm sorry, Cia!" said again.

Ticia was a little stunned at Varen's apology. But then he smiled and said:"That then let it pass. Now Varen has a new life. And may Varen always be happy."

Suddenly without warning. Varen pulls Ticia in his arms. Close-fitting. And getting tighter. It was as if Varen was unwilling to let go of that hug.

Ticia felt that the embrace was getting more and more crowded. But strangely, he had no intention of encouraging Varen to let go of his embrace.

But not for long. When she regained her senses, Ticia began to struggle in Varen's arms. "So please don't believe me! Brother Varen already has Rosalinda now, I do not want to be considered as a destroyer of other people's relationships" said Ticia trying to encourage Varen.

"Let me take a moment. Just for a moment." said Varen without letting go of his embrace. Although Ticia continued to thrash around in his arms.

"Gue kangen very similar lo, just a little while anyway" said Varen again.

Back then, somehow Ticia no longer thrashed. He heard clearly Varen's request which sounded pitiful.

Ticia was silent. He let the man hold her tightly.

To be honest, Ticia also missed that guy a lot. Missed the warm embrace of the man. Missed the man's happiness. I miss all the silly things that this guy did.

"Gue is also your love." somehow got encouragement from nowhere. Ticia also expressed her feelings for Varen. At that time Ticia no longer thought about Varen and Rosalinda's relationship.

Even Ticia wanted time to stop then and there.

Ticia and Varen hugged each other tightly. They are two human children who love each other. But they had to separate because of the differences that lay before them. Differences of belief that cannot possibly unite.

"Why don't we just reverse it?" ask Varen.

"Sir Varen has Rosalinda. I don't want to ruin your relationship." replied Ticia letting go of her embrace.

"Thank you for loving me, between us it's over, appreciate the woman you're with now. Don't play with other people's feelings." Ticia said.

"Gue never loved Rose, you're the one I love." Varen doesn't want to just let go of Ticia.

"Sir Varen is the same Rosalinda. Brother Varen must take care of her feelings, I don't want others to think I'm a cruel woman because of Varen's snatch from Rosalinda." what Ticia said is quite clear. He wants Varen to solve his problem with Rosalinda first. Because if Varen suddenly leaves Rosalinda and turns her back on her. Everyone would definitely accuse Ticia of being a destroyer of people's relationships.

As a fellow woman. Ticia did not want to hurt the feelings of other women. He still loves Varen. But their relationship is still going on.

"We can still be friends, I'm the first person who will always support you" Ticia continued before leaving Varen.

"Gue will finish my troubles with Rose without having to hurt her. I hope you can wait until then!" exclaiming Varen who had made Ticia stop her steps.

However, Ticia did not answer Varen's words. He continued to leave the back yard of the school.

...

"Cia, have you seen Gio's brother?" rosalinda asked as Ticia walked from the side of the toilet connected to the school's backyard.

"Eh, I-I"

"Sister Gio?" ticia did not answer Rosalinda's question. It turns out that Varen is already walking off the same road as Ticia.

"Sister Gio with Ticia?" Rosalinda asked doubtfully at her conjecture. Because Ticia and Varen both walked from the same place. Makes Rosalinda a little suspicious if they're secretly still in touch.

"Yes had accidentally met Ticia in the back yard when I received a call from papa" replied Varen again lying to Rosalinda.

"Oh, if it's to the canteen yuk kak, you haven't eaten yet, right?" Rosalinda drew Varen's hand happily.

"Yuk." answered Varen and followed where Rosalinda pulled her hand.

Seeing Rosalinda smiling happily, made Ticia able to breathe a sigh of relief. At least Rosalinda believed what Varen said.

But, when he saw Rosalinda who pulled Varen's hand. Makes Ticia smile bitterly. There was something uncomfortable in his heart. Moreover, Varen also did not refuse the pull. And impressed to follow what Rosalinda wants.

"Maybe they are meant to be together." muttered Ticia alone as she watched Rosalinda and Varen walk further away.

With a wry smile, Ticia continued her steps. But not to the canteen. But not towards his own class.

At first, she wanted to go to the cafeteria because she was hungry. But for some reason he suddenly felt full for a moment.
