HEARTBEATS
19. Please Understand
A girl wearing a white short-sleeved brocade dress, ran a little out of her house. Her hair that was let loose, further adding to her beauty.
Revelyn ran small towards the gate of her house, she smiled because tonight Vito will pick her up to come to the boy's birthday party.
"Leo!"
"Leo wait, baby."
"Derrant Papa, Leo!"
Revelyn's eyes immediately caught the figure of Leo walking out of his house, the man continued to walk regardless of his Papa and a middle-aged woman who was chasing him.
"Who is that woman?" muttered Revelyn astonished, while walking out of the fence.
The girl was silent in front of the fence of her house, she looked at Leo walking past her.
For a moment, the two beads looked at each other. As if time had suddenly slowed down, Revelyn felt a strange feeling as Leo walked past.
Leo just stared at Revelyn flat before the guy finally ran away, Revelyn sure, Leo ran towards the complex park.
"Leo!"
"Catch up, Leo."
Andhara, Papa Leo and a woman immediately ran after Leo.
While Revelyn was still speechless with a face to wonder, what happened exactly?
Revelyn was intending to join the chase, to find out everything. But as he wanted to run away, a voice stopped his footsteps.
"Vely."
Revelyn stopped, she turned to find Vito walking towards her.
The guy was wearing a black suit, with a white suit.
"Vito." muttered Revelyn, she turned her head briefly towards Leo leaving, then looked back at Vito who was already in front of her.
"Where were you going?" vito asked in surprise, she raised next to her eyebrows while one of her hands went into her pants pocket.
"Neverywhere" Revelyn answered lying, she threw a horse's grin at Vito.
The man nodded, "have we left now?" vito asked, the girl then nodded in agreement.
"okay."
The two of them finally walked away to Vito's parked car not far from Revelyn's house, both walking side by side while occasionally looking at each other and smiling.
...🍕...
Revelyn was flabbergasted when she saw the outdoor concept party decoration, the man chose to celebrate his birthday near the pool behind his house.
All the guests have gathered, they all wear clothes according to the dresscode specified.
"Why be quiet? come on." Vito chuckled as he saw Revelyn speechless in the doorway, the guy extended his hand with a smile.
Revelyn was silent for a while, her eyes glancing at Vito's outstretched hand towards her.
"Vito, happy birthday" Revelyn smiled, the girl finally received Vito's helping hand.
The guy's smile was engraved, he and Revelyn started walking while holding hands.
Seeing the arrival of Vito and Revelyn make all the invited guests stare at them, as a result Revelyn began to feel awkward.
"Don't be ashamed." whispered Vito.
"Ne-no shame."
Vito nodded, then let go of his handrails as they reached in front of the guests.
"Hi Vito."
A beautiful girl greets the guy, shamelessly kissing Vito's right cheek which leaves Revelyn shocked.
"Main nyosor aja." Vito's lips, while the girl just chuckles while hugging Vito's arm like bolsters.
"Who? lo's girlfriend?" the girl asked, she looked at Revelyn with a condescending look.
"Oh yes, Velyn, this is my friend" said Vito introduced.
Revelyn gave a clumsy smile, the girl nodded while extending her hand.
"Gw Revelyn Paulin."
The girl was initially silent as she looked at Revelyn's hand, the next second she smiled widely while shaking hands back.
"Gw Alana Veronica, Vito's friend. Actually, I'm gonna be a fiancee."
"O-oh yeah?" Revelyn gave a forced laugh, hoping that what Alana said was just a joke.
"Don't dream, I just don't like you." pouty Vito, he yells at Alana until the girl has a sullen expression.
"It's really bad lo, thankfully I like." muttered Alana pouting.
Vito chuckled softly, while Revelyn began to fall silent.
He felt alien to be in this place alone, the girl wanted to go home.
"Oh yes enjoy the party is Revelyn, I'm the same Vito want to go there first" said Alana while holding Vito's arm.
The girl threw a smile at Revelyn, then looked at Vito while raising her eyebrows.
"Well?"
"Udah come along, mommy same papa I've been waiting for you."
Vito nodded in understanding, the guy finally complied. But before leaving, Vito tells Revelyn to have the girl enjoy her birthday party.
"Enjoy aja Velyn, I'll go there for a while." said Vito, the girl just replied with a nod.
After the two men died, Revelyn started on her own, in the midst of everyone who was enjoying her party.
The girl felt that there was something stuck in her heart, especially when looking from a distance, Vito and Alana looked happy.
Revelyn lowered her head, she bit her lips in tears. The girl doesn't know why, but for sure, she misses being with her best friend, Leo.
What exactly is going on? who's that woman? Revelyn began to wonder, she was even more curious as to why Leo left the house when she left earlier.
That guy doesn't usually behave like that.
Brucks
Revelyn gasped in shock when someone accidentally bumped into her, spilling a drink onto her dress.
"Eh sorry" she said, she felt guilty for making Revelyn's dress dirty.
"It's okay" Revelyn replied, she smiled kindly while cleaning her wet dress.
"Thank you" said the man as he passed away, leaving Revelyn suddenly confused as to what to do.
Inevitably Revelyn will approach Vito who is still chatting with Alana, as well as other families.
He better just go home, Revelyn thought. He felt increasingly uncomfortable lingering at this party.
The girl walked by the side of the pool, while cleaning her dress. Revelyn yells when someone accidentally nudges her again, which in turn makes her----
Gubyaaaarrr
Fall into the pool.
Everyone was shocked not to play when the girl went into the water, making her drenched even to the point of shivering in the cold.
Seeing this makes Vito want to come, but Alana's hand reflexively intercepts the guy.
Alana looked at Vito sharply while shaking her head, the girl just did not want Vito away from her for a while.
"Gw want to help her!"
"Lo's here!"
"Why?!"
"Gw don't want to be away from me, Vito!
"Well!"
"What?!"
Revelyn bit her lips, she had already climbed out of the water. The girl hugged herself while looking down, she was ashamed of being so embarrassed that this misfortune befell her.
It felt like Revelyn wanted to cry alone, she wanted to cry because everyone was now staring at her.
No one helped him they all just noticed, even it seemed like the party had stopped because of him.
"Leo." muttered Revelyn.
Revelyn needs that guy, very much in need. He just wanted to cry, but what was the power? everyone was staring strangely at him.
Suddenly the girl looked up, looking at the face of Leo who was very close to her. The guy accidentally took off his suit while attaching it to Revelyn's body.
Revelyn couldn't believe it, no matter where the guy came from because when he really needed it, Leo actually came for him.
"Le-"
"Let's go." said Leo, the man immediately pulled Revelyn's hand to take the girl away from this place.
Revelyn's excitement with Leo instantly made everyone speechless staring at their loss, even Vito was silent and still confused why the guy was suddenly at his birthday party.
"Ck, shit!"
...🍕...
Leo and Revelyn are both silent in the car that is still parked in front of Vito's house.
Both of them were silent and drifting in each other's minds.
Revelyn lowered her head, she occasionally confirmed Leo's suit still enveloping her body.
"Lo angry with yak?" finally Revelyn opened her voice.
But instead of answering, Leo remained silent. The man's gaze was straight forward, even his expression looked cold and flat.
"Gw jawab! I don't like being silent!"
"Lo why Leo?!"
"If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. But please, don't be cheered up." Revelyn said, her eyes started to water because the guy still hasn't answered his question.
"LEO ANSWER GW!"
Revelyn raised her voice, she even held onto Leo's arm while shaking the guy's body to answer his question.
"YEAH, I'M ANGRY AT YOU!"
The girl was shocked when Leo snapped back at her, Leo turned his head until their eyes looked at each other.
"Gw disappointed you!"
"Gw is upset with you!"
"And I'm jealous because of you."
Leo's jaw hardened, he disliked making Revelyn cry the most. But how else? Leo will explain everything, including the problem.
"Why?" lirih Revelyn, the tears began to plunge free from his eyes.
"Why do you ask?" Leo laughed, the guy laughed.
"Where is Velyn? where have you been all this time? where did you go when I got worse? and where do you really need lo?"
"That time I really need lo, I'm even alone lately so you understand that I need lo. I need support from you, I need the spirit of lo, I need the spirit of lo, I need the spirit of lo, and I also need a hug from you."
"Life I ruined again Vel, I feel all destroyed again. Especially when I see you same Vito continue in school, I don't even have a chance to deketin lo!"
"Lo is too busy with Vito until you forget, that your best friend really needs your presence."
"Gw doesn't want to be with him anymore" said Leo, sighing and hoping that the girl beside him understood.
But Revelyn even frowned, "so you're not letting me?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Why? don't I have rights too? I have the right to be close to anyone, including Vito. And what right lo?!" snapped Revelyn, the girl began to ignite emotions.
"Gw my best friend!" leo replied, he clucked in annoyance because the girl still did not understand his words.
"Just because you're my best friend, doesn't mean you're just trying to disobey me!?"
"Gw is disobeying because he's kept you away from me, Velyn!"
Hearing Leo's reply made Revelyn speechless, the girl gulped her saliva while wiping away the tears that were still sliding free from her eye sockets.
Drrrrrttttttt
Revelyn's phone suddenly shook, making the girl reach into the contents of her bag.
Leo quietly peeked at the name on Revelyn's phone screen.
Vito's.
The name makes Leo immediately emotional, the guy then snatch the phone from Revelyn's hand.
"Leo!"
"Gw never likes lo close to him, and I won't even be willing if he gets to call you from gw!"
"Reverse mobile phone gw!?" pinta Revelyn, but Leo instead gave a slanted smile to her.
"Lo want this?" leo asked, the next second the man immediately threw the phone out of the car window. "take it!"
Leo's actions suddenly make Revelyn shocked, the girl immediately snapped at Leo because she was upset.
"LEO! I HATE YOU!"
"Gw hate!"
"Lo need gw? how do I know if you need anything, if you don't tell me about your problem!"
"Why do I want to know, huh?! answer me, how do I want to know?!" urged Revelyn, the girl was already upset and waiting for Leo to answer her question.
But Leo was silent, the guy just looked down.
Revelyn clucked in annoyance, the girl opened Leo's car door to prepare to get off.
"Just get here, now you can go!" revelyn said coldly.
When Revelyn's feet hit the ground to get out of the car, Leo finally opened his voice.
"Gw was angry and sad." said Leo, the man was still down and clenched his hands.
Revelyn was silent, she still turned her back on Leo and was reluctant to change her position until Leo was done telling the story.
"Gw is angry that papa I got married without saying the same as me."
"Grandmother knew everything, and only I knew when they were both officially married."
"Gw should what? accepting a woman I don't even know at all to be my mom?"
"Until every time I won't accept, because my mom only has one. Even though it's gone, but Mama said that she's in every heartbeat I have."
"Because of that problem I started confining myself in the room, I don't want to be disturbed. I just want to be alone, and I just want you on my side at that time."
"But I just realized that you start not caring, you start cool yourself, you are too cool with vito without realizing that I almost want to despair again."
"Gw doesn't want Papa to get married again, but it's too late. What should I do, Velyn? I have to what?"
Revelyn gulped her saliva, her body suddenly trembling.
"Gw needs time to understand, now you can go" Revelyn said slowly, as she got out of the car.
Revelyn closed the door of Leo's car, the girl walked over to pick up the phone that Leo had thrown away earlier.
The girl then closed her eyes as Leo's car started to pitch away, the guy actually left.
Revelyn cried again, the girl crouched down while hugging her body which was still covered in a suit that belonged to Leo.
Revelyn cried, trying to curse all her folly even Leo said to her.
...🍕...
Leo immediately slammed his steering wheel to the left, pulled over his car to stop.
The guy immediately hit the driver of his car while cursing as the rain fell increasingly heavy flushing his car.
Leo got out of the car, he grabbed his hair in frustration.
He regretted it because according to Revelyn's words, and left the girl alone there.
Leo wanted to come back to pick up the girl, but Leo felt unable to meet the girl again.
"DAMNIT!"
Leo kicked the front tire of his car. His whole body was now soaked. The guy occasionally grabbed her hair again because he felt guilty for leaving Revelyn there.
Leo sighed, he sat down leaning on the door of his car.
The guy looked up and hugged his knees, then buried his face while biting his deep lips.
"Sorry."
...🍕🍕🍕...
