At the food stall,
Noah is still waiting for someone. After the time showed the clock as promised, a man came to see Noah.
"Have you been waiting for me?" asked Aksa while unbuttoning her suit.
"Lumayan. Did you order anything?"ask Noah.
"It." Soon a waiter delivers Aksa's order.
"You just got out, is work keeping you busy? Or ... someone who keeps you busy?" search Noah.
"I'm with Marissa. He stopped by for a second, so I accompanied him." Aksa. Then he drank a cappucino.
"I want to know who Grandpa's marrying you to. Because of that woman's pity. You're still playing around with other women" Noah said with a smile. Noah seemed to have no idea. He's a person who rarely hears new news, unless it's related to his job. And he doesn't really care about that.
"Why are you asking now?" ask Aksa wonder.
"Just want to know. You haven't told me yet" replied Noah. Aksa sighed.
"Yora. You know that girl." Aksa said casually and less happily.
Noah heard that from his mom last night. But Noah wanted to hear from Aksa's own mouth. There was a heart that hurt there. It belongs to Noah. Her heart aches to hear that her cousin_Aksa is getting engaged to the girl, Nayora.
"She's a good girl isn't she?" ask Noah.
"Maybe, but it doesn't really suit me. The meek and quiet girl. It's like he has no stand of his own. I don't know why she's so amenable to this ridiculous matchmaking. He is still in High School. It's not interesting to me." Aksa really doesn't like this talk.
For Aksa, a snot girl like Yora is indeed unattractive. He was used to passionate women like Tiara and Marissa. If only it wasn't the grandfather who proposed it, Aksa wouldn't have agreed.
Noah's eyes glared at Yora's face. The gentle girl who looked so beautiful in Noah's eyes.
Nayora was like a goddess to Noah. Beautiful, graceful and gentle. Noah felt comfortable being near the girl. All the talk with him was fun. Even if it's just a trivial matter. Her smile always adorned her beautiful lips. Noah is always lulled by Nayora's crisp laughter as she tries to be funny, but not funny. The girl was so attentive and gentle.
And it turns out dreams are more beautiful than reality. Noah does not expect Yora to choose to love her cousin Aksa. A playboy man who might equate love with lust.
The beautiful shadow of Nayora danced in Noah's mind. Makes Noah feel more defeated. Noah never told anyone about this feeling. He kept that feeling alone.
Noah looked at Aksa who was enjoying the cappuccino with an envious look. Noah was not angry with his cousin, because it was not Aksa's fault. This match is not Aksa's wish. He's just a grandpa pawn to make his wish come true.
"So you're gonna keep playing with those women and hurt Yora?" Noah didn't seem to accept it.
"He knows about my feelings of not loving, Noah. But he still wanted this match. I'm not wrong, am I?" Aksa defended himself.
"Didn't you feel sorry for her?"
"I am the one who deserves pity. I don't love him, but I'm forced to mate with him. And I can't resist because grandpa insisted on setting us up. Aren't I pathetic?" Aksa moved her chin. Noah shook his head.
"Grandfather can be furious if he finds out you stick with those women, Aksa." Noah sipped his drink.
"I can what? If Yora can interest me in him, maybe I can stop with them." Aksa is a playboy.
"Are you able to love Yora, if she really interests you?" search Noah.
"Why? You're very curious about the girl." Aksa looked at his cousin straight. Noah smiled.
"No. I just can't believe you can love a woman. Because from the beginning you've been used to playing with a lot of women." Noah can be tight.
"Yes." Yeah." Aksa chuckled softly. "It's not just you. I'd still doubt if I could love just one woman."
Either Noah can be happy or not. He still feels pain if it turns out that he is not the one who is in a match with Yora.
