HEARTBEATS

14. Explanation

The night was getting late, and time continued to go on endlessly. Leo stared at the wall clock in Revelyn's room which already showed at 00:30 a.m.

The state of the room is increasingly quiet, making Leo sigh, he stayed awake because of the girl who was next to him.

The man then turned his body to face Revelyn, the girl fell asleep after quite satisfied crying for almost a day.

Next to Leo's hand supported his own head, next to him moved gently rubbed Revelyn's hair. The guy stared fixedly at the face of the sleeping girl before him, Leo even slowly slipped Revelyn's hair that covered part of the girl's face behind the ears.

I've known you from childhood, we've been together since childhood.

We do almost everything together, almost everything.

I know what you like, I know what your habits are, and I even know what you don't like the most.

But now, I just realized. That you are the person who can most hide sadness with just a smile, you can always entertain me even though you also need to be entertained.

Slowly the corners of Leo's lips were drawn, staring at the calm face before him made him feel at ease.

Velyn, I promise you will always be next to you, on your side, and also in your life.

But I'm not sure, though,

Can you also promise that you will always be next to me? forever?

"Ngh."

The girl groaned, squirming a little. But Leo chuckled while pulling the edge of the blanket to cover the girl's body.

After that Leo began to put his head on the pillow, he changed his position to the supine before finally turning back to face Revelyn.

The two of them faced each other, Leo could clearly see the girl's face up close.

Really sweet.

Leo sighed, slowly bringing his face closer to Revelyn's. The guy deliberately put their nose to a glance, he then smiled as he muttered before finally starting to close his eyes to sleep.

"Good night."

...🍕...

"Cell, go to the cafeteria? you must be hungry, right?" Una asked worriedly, he looked at Mycelia who had been at home in class from the first lesson until now.

The girl looked up, looking at Una for a while who was sitting opposite her, a second later Mycelia lowered her head while shaking her head.

"Cell, you if there's a problem dong's story." the girl urged, but Mycelia only answered him with a headband.

Afterwards, Una-pun snorted annoyedly. The girl prefers to play her phone, but her enthusiasm immediately stopped when she saw the mischievous Mycelia rise from her seat.

"Cell--"

Una's mouth slightly opened, he then turned his head towards the eyes of Miselia to look. The girl was perplexed when the one Miselia saw was Revelyn, the girl standing in the doorway with a flat expression.

Mycelia gulped her salivary, the girl squeezing her skirt as Revelyn walked towards their seat.

"Velyn I want ng--"

"Gw, there's no time to talk to you." cut Revelyn fast, but Mycelia hasn't finished talking.

The girl looked at Mycelia flat, then immediately grabbed her jacket that was on the table. Revelyn immediately left the classroom, leaving behind a distraught Mycelia and an increasingly confused Una.

"What's going on?" Una looked at Mycelia in disbelief. "lo there's a problem with Velyn?" her question made Miselia nod her head limp.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Other problems."

"He doesn't want to understand."

"Make him understand."

"Tap-"

"Make him understand no matter how, I don't know what the problem is you two but for sure, silence won't solve the problem."

Mycelia looked up, she looked at the clingy Una. Una is like that, sometimes the girl will think of adulthood when advising someone for their own mistakes.

"Okay, I'm trying."

...🍕...

As a gentle breeze blew through Revelyn's face, the girl closed her eyes while enjoying the gust of wind.

The girl chose to be in the school rooftop to calm her mind, even though she just did not want to meet one of her best friends.

Every time Revelyn closed her eyes, Regan always imagined the words Regan as well as the memory of the past that Revelyn tried to bury deeply.

"Sorry, because of Regan's brother you've been alone all this time. Because of Regan's sister you can't feel the affection of your mom as papa, and because of Regan----"

"Velyn is waiting."

"Velyn, come with yak?"

"Can't! you just stay here with Agitha, Papa and Mama should take your sister for treatment because the most important thing now is her health!"

"So, sister's going to be back."

The girl clutched the rooftop guardrail, somehow her heart ached every time she remembered all those past memories.

Since childhood he did not love his parents, Mama and Papa are more concerned with Regan's health. And who always gives her affection and attention is only Agitha, her nanny who Revelyn now considers like her own mother.

As a daughter, Revelyn was eager to feel the love of her father and the affection of her mother.

Revelyn's eyes warmed up, slowly her two eyes began to glaze over. The girl wanted to spill everything, everything in her heart.

"Velyn, I want to clear everything up."

The sound managed to make Revelyn return to flat expression, the girl clutching firmly at the guardrail before finally sighing resignedly.

Revelyn wiped her tears, then turned her body, facing towards a girl whose serious expression was staring at her.

"Please." Revelyn smiled, she allowed Mycelia to explain everything.

Mycelia lowered her head, rubbing the back of her neck. The girl tried to encourage herself in order to explain everything, so that there would be no more misunderstandings between the two of them.

"I first met Regan when I went to Paris, to meet my dad. Not unexpectedly turned out to be my father's coworker, brother lo. At first I didn't know he was your brother. But that day he said the same that he had a promise to return to Indonesia, for the sake of his sister. I asked her her her sister's name, and she said her name was Revelyn Paulin."

"Gw and Regan get close when I say that you're my best friend, he says maybe it's fate so he can know how you are right now."

"Until the moment I want to go back to Indonesia, he feels the same way. And I realized that I also like her, and we finally started dating."

"Every day he's always telling you, he's asking what things every day make you happy, and what things every day make you sad."

"And I always say that every day there is someone who has made you happy, and that is enough for him to be relieved."

Mycelia sighed, she smiled faintly while looking at Revelyn fixedly.

"She came for her sister, she just needed time to meet her sister. He's just not ready to meet face to face with you, maybe because he still feels guilty because he's already snatched your mom's love as papa lo."

"Sorry, I don't mean to interfere in your affairs. But you need to know. Regan's just not ready yet, because every day she's always haunted by feelings of guilt because you've grown up without affection."

The girl explained everything, and hoped Revelyn understood everything.

Everyone, why Regan didn't see him, and why Regan didn't explain everything.

"Maybe you'd think that Regan doesn't care about you anymore, you're wrong. He cares, the proof is that he's always telling you the same."

Revelyn was speechless, the girl even clenched her hands together. Hearing all the explanations made his chest tight, it hurt so much that breathing was difficult.

"Velyn I beg you not to be angry with me, I'm sorry I've hidden all these facts. I'm sorry, if my presence for you and Regan can't be together, I'll leave if you ask. But please, don't be angry with me, don't stay with me."

Mycelia pleaded, her eyes teary. To her Revelyn is her best friend, and Micylia simply doesn't want to lose one of her life's diamonds.

The girl was crying, she was no longer able to hold back her emotions. Mycelia even cupped her hands together, begging Revelyn for the girl to forgive herself.

"Velyn, say something." said Miselia, she looked at Revelyn who was still silent on the spot.

Revelyn took a deep breath, she looked up at Mycelia.

"Gw wants to be alone first." said Revelyn, he began to leave the rooftop. Leaving behind Mycelia who was still crying so hard.

Revelyn clasped the collar of her uniform, the feeling of tightness in her chest began to be felt again. Even breathing left Revelyn decapitated, the girl descending the rooftop steps while reaching into her pocket to pick up her phone.

The flat object he repeatedly brought close to his ear, Revelyn repeatedly waited for an answer from across it. However, Leo's number cannot be reached.

Revelyn only wanted Leo to be in front of her now, so that Revelyn could vaporize all and vent her grief.

Revelyn's eyes were getting hotter, to the point that her gaze was blurry due to her teary eyes.

"Revelyn."

The girl immediately turned her head, looking at the guy before her. The next second Revelyn ran straight towards the guy and grabbed the collar of the guy's shirt, urging him on.

"Gw wants to go home, please take me home!" Revelyn pushers, while tugging at Vito's uniform collar.

...🍕...

"Well crazy, these girls aren't kapok-kapok anymore." Axele grumbled in annoyance as she looked at her phone screen, making Geral who was walking beside her raise next to her eyebrows in wonder.

"Who?" geral asked, even Leo who was walking beside Geral also started to get curious.

"Una, you girls, I told you not to bother anymore. My boyfriend is angry, but until now still a nuisance gw." annoyed Axele while saving his phone back into his pants pocket.

"It's like he really has a girlfriend." quipped Leo, the guy chuckled while shaking his head.

"Entar also really has." Axele's lips grew irritated.

Geral laughed, "yes the Una." joked Geral, but Axele instead snapped at him.

"Najis, you're going to be his girlfriend!"

"Sorry, I'm not the same as him. But if you're with him, it's a good fit."

"Because both are CRAZY!" ledek Leo, followed by a laugh from Geral.

Leo shook his head while grabbing his phone in his pants pocket, the guy stopped walking while his two friends leaned against the eleven-grade corridor guardrail.

The guy frowned when he got five incoming misscalls from Revelyn, Leo regretted that he had forgotten to turn off airplane mode.

"Leo!"

Leo looked up, frowning in wonder as Geral and Axele gave the code to approach them immediately.

"What?" leo asked as he walked over to his two friends.

"Noh look, you got stabbed!" axele said as she pointed towards the school parking lot, the three of them compactly saw Vito who opened the car door for Revelyn.

Spontaneous it makes Leo clenched his hands, without further ado Leo immediately went from the presence of his friends.

"Well crazy, I think he's jealous" said Axele who immediately got a snare from Geral.

"Pursue bego!"

Axele grinned while nodding, the next second they immediately ran after Leo who had gone down the stairs.

The guy ran along the tenth grade corridor, and hoped that the guy had not yet taken Revelyn away.

Recalling the moment Vito, the head sausage opened the car door for Revelyn to make Leo's jaw harden. Leo was never this angry when Revelyn was approached by a lot of guys, but to be honest this time, Leo had a thought that the head of the sausage would take Revelyn from him.

"Damn it!"

Leo cursed when the car was gone, the man was beheaded while staring at the departure of Vito's car from the gate.

However, Leo's focus was instantaneous when a car stopped right in front of him, the man stared flat at the door of the car that opened.

The owner of the car got out of his car, he looked at Leo while confirming his suit.

"Lo Leo Andhara, right?"

Leo frowned in wonder as the man in the suit knew his name and was now walking towards him.

"Do you know what my name is?"

The man chuckled, extending his hand to introduce himself.

"Gw Regan Paulan."

Eh?
