Friends But Love
33. BITTER REALITY
It seems, Cinta is no longer able to walk, her legs are very tired, because it has run for a kilometer, from Maya's contract.
it just so happened that he found a bus stop, and decided to wait for the bus to come, or a passing taxi.
Love held back her tears that had asked to come out. she did not want to cry in a public place like this.
"Love?! what are you, here?" tomy, who suddenly stood in front of him.
"uh! anu-so I jog, keep playing to the house temen." explained Love, stammering.
"yourself, what's here? shouldn't you, work?" ask for love back.
"i was working, I was going to take Clara to the office, and I just happened to see you sitting here by yourself" Tomy explained.
"oh yeah! don't you and Clara know each other?" continued Tomy.
"hi Cin!" hello Clara got out of the car.
"hi!" sahut Love.
Clara and Love did know each other, but while they were both in high school, they never got along.
love never liked Clara's pretentious behavior, and was powerful in school. Clara is a pretty popular student in school, a lot of students are after her.
including Tomy, but Love and Rika are always annoying when they want to spend time together.
now they meet again, and Love still does not like Clara.
"what's right here?" ask Clara.
"so done jogging, I stopped by a friend's house." explained Love.
"oh..we stay first yes, Cin." said Clara.
"please" said Love.
"yuk, Tom! later we're late." take Clara, to Tomy. and Tomy can't answer anything, other than following Clara's invitation, to leave Love alone.
though the intention of Tomy, wanted to deliver Cinta home first, but because Clara invited her to go to the office immediately for fear of being late, Tomy also understood Clara's intentions.
"Cin, we go first, huh? hurry home! you're not quite right." said Tomy.
"yes, don't worry about me, go!" sahut Love.
Tomy and Clara leave Cinta alone to continue their journey to the office.
after Tomy and Clara left, shortly after, there was a taxi passing by. Cinta quickly stopped him, and rushed home.
meanwhile, during the trip to the office, Clara more silent.seen from the expression of his face, he shows jealousy for the attention of Tomy to Love.
"why are you, quiet?" ask Tomy, to Clara.
"what should I do?" ask Clara, turn around.
"no usually, you shut up. What's wrong?" Tomy.
"there's no!" sahut Clara, short.
Tomy was silent, he felt confused by Clara's attitude that suddenly changed. Before meeting Love, Clara looked cheerful, and friendly towards him.
always in his arms, but after meeting Love, Clara became cold, and indifferent.

The taxi that brought Cinta home stopped right in front of the gate of the house Cinta. after spending some money to pay for a taxi, Cinta immediately entered his house.
Up in the room, he threw his body on the bed. again imagined by him, when Nicholas slept without a shirt, in Maya's room.
the young man he loved so much, he had to betray him. All this time, Love always took care of his heart, only for a Nicholas.
although many men approached him, Love never cared.in his heart, there was only one Nicholas.
but in reality, her loyalty was met with tears.her chest felt tight. Love can not hold back the tears that have been asking to come out of her beautiful eyes.
tears of Love are unceasingly flowing, his heart aches, even hurts so much. When Love is busy with his tears that are unceasingly dripping, the phone of Love rings.
he grabbed the phone from his pants pocket, and saw who called him. Rika contacted him.
"(hello! what's up, Ka?" tanya Cinta, called. as much as possible she tried not to sound her voice was crying.
"have you eaten yet?" ask Rika.
"it!" answer Love, lie.
"remember Cin. if you lie, and don't eat, I won't forgive you." Rika threatened.
"yes, I promise, I'll eat, okay?!" sahut Love.
"i'm going to eat? you haven't eaten, have you?" ask Rika, again.
"yes, I'm sorry.I just got home jogging." explained Love.
"Love! it's almost eleven o'clock, but you haven't, eaten?!" ask Rika in a high tone.
"yes, I'm sorry..So I haven't been hungry, and because I'm saturated, I go jogging. yeah, I eat first, huh?" love said, then hung up.
"alright! for your sake, I will eat, for the sake of survival, because crying also requires energy." muttered Love.
Love got up from his bed, then rushed towards the bathroom.His body already felt very sultry and sticky, due to sweat.
after the bath, Love headed to the dining table. Although not tasteful to eat, but he forced the rice into his mouth.
after feeling enough to fill her stomach, Love cleaned her used dirty tables and dishes and then returned to her room.
suddenly Love remembered, that he still kept half a bottle of alcoholic beverages. because Rika was still an hour away from home.
Love also decided to drink a drink that he deliberately kept for him, although he knew, if drinking liquor could not solve the problems he was facing.
but at least, he can forget it, even if only for a moment. the drink in the bottle was exhausted, now Love berkaraoke to vent his sadness.
Cinta screamed loudly, sang sad Malaysian songs, to vent her sadness.of course under the influence of alcohol.
satisfied and relieved, Love stopped her singing, and laid down her body, on the floor.
\*\*\*\*\*
At half-hour one in the afternoon, Rika gets ready to go home, as her working hours will be over soon.
that day, Nicholas did not go to work, and Rika asked her friend why Nicholas did not come in.
according to the theme, Nicholas did not enter work without telling their superiors.No one knows, why that day Nicholas did not enter work
at exactly one o'clock in the afternoon, Rika and her co-workers rushed out of the office, alternating with their other colleagues.
actually Reno invites Rika to visit her family's restaurant, but because of the memory of Love who is alone at home, Rika rejects Reno's invitation subtly.
before returning home, Rika took the time to buy some fruit, and some fresh bread for her to take home, downstairs.
After getting what she was looking for, Rika leaves the supermarket where she works.
