HEARTBEATS
22. A boyfriend?
The basketball court is now filled by students and students of class XII IPA-1 and also class XII IPS-5 who are conducting the task subjects.
Revelyn class and Leo class, they did indeed carry out the task subjects on the same day and also in the same lesson hours.
And fortunately Mr. Bayu, as the sports teacher was in a meeting with other teachers. Lucky Mr. Bayu allowed both classes for his own sport, of course, the opportunity was not wasted to relax on the field.
Some students play basketball, such as Revelyn, Una, and some of their friends.
While Mycelia, Alana, and the others just relaxed while sitting on the edge of the field.
Alana is busy painting her fingernails, while Miselia, the girl is busy video calling with Regan, her lover.
"Look at Velyn, why don't you go samperin?" geral asked, he and Leo as well as Axele were sitting under the basketball hoop.
Leo shook his head, his eyes still not separated from Revelyn who played basketball across from them.
"Leo, I want it" said Axele, Leo turned his head and looked at him in surprise.
"What?"
"Lo likes it the same, Velyn, right?" axele asked, she and Geral looked at Leo who was sitting in the middle of them.
Leo smiled as he bellowed, "no-no-" replied Leo, the next second he bowed down gloomily.
"-not to be mistaken, I think I like him. Because of my love for him, more than just a friend." muttered Leo, his two best friends nodded in understanding.
"Reveal your feelings, I'm sure Velyn will accept." Axele suggested, Geral nodded in agreement.
"After what?" leo asked, the boy looked up, looking back at Revelyn who was having fun with his friends.
"Yes, you two are dating" replied Geral, but Leo smiled cynically instead.
"Gw wants to have Velyn more than just going out, because I don't want to if someday there's a parting word." explained Leo, the two friends looked at each other.
"I'M MARRIED TO HIM, BEGO!" gas Axele and Geral are anxious.
Leo chuckled looking at his two best friends cengo.
"May as well." replied Leo.
Shortly after that the three of them were astonished when from across there was the sound of the cries of the students and students, making Leo, Geral, and Axele immediately stand up.
The three of them looked at Vito who was walking towards Revelyn while carrying a rose she had hidden behind her back, thus making everyone in the field cry out hysterically.
Leo, Geral, and Axele immediately ran towards the crowd.
As for Alana and also Mycelia, the two of them were still sitting on the edge of the field.
"Oh my god." muttered Miselia gaping, she got up from her seat while watching Revelyn and also Vito who were surrounded by students and students who wanted to watch them.
Alana, the girl is still not aware of the crowd in the field. The girl was still busy changing the color of her fingernail paint with a new color.
"CIEEE! someone brought nih~ flowers"
"Prikitiew, there's something going on."
"Gw thought the head of the osis did not like girls, Alhamdulillah turned out to be still normal."
"Vely? she brought flowers for velyn?"
"Where's Leo?"
"Well, aren't you angry?"
Revelyn was silent, she was still standing in the middle of the court and in front of Vito, holding the basketball in her hand.
The girl looked at Vito cengo, while Vito smiled while hiding a flower stalk behind his back.
"Why, Vito?"
"Velyn, I, I want to say something." replied Vito, he was suddenly nervous.
Revelyn nodded, "by the way."
Vito smiled, while the students and students who were watching began to fall silent to create a quiet atmosphere in the field.
"Cock-of-silence, like a grave?" alana asked, she turned her head towards Miselia who was standing next to her, Mycelia was still staring towards the field.
"Lo don't see, huh?" miselia asked back without looking at Alana.
Alana raised her eyebrows, the girl began to straighten her gaze towards the field.
"The vito?!" muttered Alana, she wondered why Vito and Revelyn were standing there.
A flower? Vito, don't tell me that lo ....
"Gw likes you, Velyn."
Alana spontaneously stood up, she immediately threw her kutex onto the ground until the small object broke. Alana clenched her hands, she gritted her teeth as Vito said that line. Though Alana really wanted if Vito said that sentence only for her.
"Gw likes you, Velyn."
Leo clenched his hand, his jaw hardened. Leo wanted to go to Vito to punch the guy in the face.
"Suck!"
But with a quick movement, Geral and Axele intercepted the guy.
"Calm down, Leo!" geral said, he intercepted the man's arm.
"We'll see first, what a girl doesn't accept." Axele suggested.
Leo was silent, the guy was down. She desperately wished for Velyn to reject Vito's feelings. Because if Velyn is close to Vito, she doesn't like it anymore, especially if the two of them are dating? Leo had no idea how much longer he could hold back from punching Vito in the face with his own fist.
Everyone on the field was waiting for Revelyn's reply, including Vito, the guy was already nervous to the point that he was sweating coldly.
"okay."
Eh?
Vito looked up, he looked at Revelyn in disbelief.
"L-lo seriously?" ask Vito to make sure.
"Yes." Yeah."
The girl nodded with a smile, making Vito also smile wide until his eyes narrowed like a line.
Everyone in the field shouted, they were happy when Vito started to thrust the flower at Revelyn.
Revelyn slowly receives the flower, admitting she did love Vito when he first taught her how to play basketball. And Revelyn becomes convinced that the feeling is indeed there when she and Vito, starting to get close.
But why? why did Revelyn feel that something was stirring in her heart? on the other hand he was happy, but why on the other hand was he sad?
The girl thought, what she did this time is it true? if so, why did he feel that what he did this time was wrong?
"Gw seneng, lo nerima gw and ngijinin gw to occupy your heart" said Vito approached Revelyn, the girl looked up and smiled.
Eventually the crowd began to disperse leaving the field, not all, as there were still survivors.
Revelyn's eyes caught Leo's figure, the guy was not far behind Vito.
Revelyn looked at Leo with a smile, but the smile disappeared instantly as Leo only had a flat expression while looking at him in annoyance.
Leo brushed his two friends' hands off his shoulders, looking at Revelyn with hardened jaws as he left the field. Geral and Axele.
Revelyn was speechless, she stared at Leo's departure blankly.
I was wrong again, right?
...🍕...
"Tell me something, this isn't a dream, is it?!" screeching Una furiously, he cornered Revelyn on the huge pillar that was in the tenth grade corridor.
"Lo's really dating the same, Vito?!" miselia added again, the two of them stared at Revelyn who was leaning on the pillar.
The girl was speechless while still holding a rose in her hand, she stared at her two companions flat.
"You see for yourself, don't you?" revelyn replied, the girl's gaze looked hollow.
Mycelia snorted, while Una grabbed her hair in frustration.
"LO CRAZY, VELYN!" una said, the girl was upset. "lo selfish, Velyn!" una added, she was upset that Revelyn was feeling Vito.
Not because Una was jealous, but because Una and Mycelia knew, what her best friend did this time was wrong.
Hearing Micylia's explanation made Revelyn sigh, the girl started to remember as Leo looked at her on the field back then. Leo's gaze seemed to describe that he was disappointed and also angry with himself.
"Okay I'm selfish, for that I'm going to talk to Leo" said Revelyn sure, he wanted to leave.
But at the first step, a voice stopped Revelyn's steps.
"Lo tell you what he's talking about?"
Revelyn, Mycelia, and Una spontaneously turned their heads. They were astonished to find Alana walking towards Revelyn, the girl walking while folding her hands in front of her chest.
Alana smiled sinisterly, her sarcastic expression beginning to look.
"You're saying that you're wrong, keep apologizing?"
Alana's words made Revelyn stare at the girl with both eyebrows intertwined.
"Gw's right, isn't he?" alana asked, staring at her gold-colored fingernails.
"Don't know."
"Oh yeah?" Alana chuckled, "now I want to ask you ..." said Alana, she looked at Revelyn cyn.
"Gw asked, why do you want Vito? though you must know, I also like Vito."
"But Vito doesn't like you!" revelyn replied annoyed.
Alana smiled obliquely, "this is it, your selfish side finally looks. You're a girl who really can't appreciate or understand the feelings of Leo or I."
Mycelia and Una fell silent, Alana's words had a point as well.
But it seems Revelyn brushed it off, she was upset when Alana said she was selfish for not being able to understand Leo's feelings.
Slowly Alana brought her face closer to Revelyn's ear, the girl smiled slantedly as she said.
"If you can take Vito from me, I can also do the same thing as you do."
...🍕...
"Gw likes you, Velyn."
"okay."
"Seriously?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Suck!"
Leo squashed while hitting and even kicked the guardrail rooftop in front of him.
Leo's blood seemed to boil if he remembered that again, it felt like Leo wanted to hit anyone in front of him right now.
Leo is angry, very angry because the girl accepts Vito's feelings.
Leo is jealous, he is jealous because he likes and loves Revelyn more than friends.
Leo also has his selfish side, he just wants the girl to be his. Butwhat? now that the girl was no longer his, even to go back to the times when they were both happy, it was hard.
"Leo!"
The boy turned his head, shocked by Revelyn's arrival. The girl's breath was cut off, Revelyn started walking towards Leo.
But Leo grew even more upset when he saw Revelyn still holding a gift rose from Vito in his hand.
"Gw wants to talk" Revelyn said seriously.
Leo nodded, he had a flat expression while shifting his gaze.
"Look at me." said Revelyn, the man complied with his sigh.
When Revelyn wanted to make her point, Leo interrupted.
"Congratulations."
Revelyn looked at Leo astonishedly, "a-what?"
"On being the same, Vito." replied Leo, the man smiled until his dimple was seen.
"Lo's happy, isn't he?" leo added again, to make Revelyn squeeze her skirt.
Leo smiled obliquely, "lo be quiet, I say yes."
Revelyn closed her eyes for a while, Leo increasingly blurted out sentence after sentence that struck Revelyn.
"Revelyn, who I know, is selfish and naive, isn't she? "
"Leo!"
Leo was silent as the girl yelled at him, the guy stared at Revelyn flatly.
"Sorry." said Leo, his expression still flat.
"I know I'm selfish and naive. And I'm just here to say that ...."
"Gw wants us to be like we used to be, I want us to be together again, instead of having a promise, you're going to make me happy again, right?" Revelyn stared fixedly at Leo, her two eyes starting to glaze over.
But Leo just looked at him flatly, "not that you also promise, that you will make me happy until I forget how to grieve again, right?"
Leo told Revelyn, the girl began to remember her promise as a child.
"You're my friend? how can you make me forget all my problems?"
"It could be if you were always beside me."
"Okay, I promise I'll always be by your side. I'm gonna make you happy, and you're gonna make me happy, too."
"All right, promise."
"Gw's trying to keep him next to you, Velyn. I also try to make you happy, but this time you forget your promise. He said to make me happy, where? you're creating wounds!" Leo raised his voice by a few octaves, making a clear liquid start to come out of Revelyn's eye patch.
"Gw is also trying ..." eloquently Revelyn, Leo immediately smiled cynically.
"Usaha you said? where is?! with you near the same Vito make me happy? that even hurt me! we should start fixing ties, not just getting them worse!"
"Lo want to be next to you to be happy? I've been doing that since then even until now, but for now ...."
"Gw is enough, Velyn. I can't be happy with you anymore because lo--" Leo paused his sentence, he looked at Revelyn who had sobbed.
"Lo doesn't belong to me anymore, you already belong to someone else." continued Leo, he wanted to leave but Revelyn instead pulled the uniform behind him.
"The leo?!" call Revelyn, the girl's voice turned hoarse making Leo curse inwardly for making the girl cry.
"Velyn, I want it to be the same." Leo flipped his body towards Revelyn, he touched both of the girl's shoulders.
Slowly Revelyn looked up, she looked at Leo as busily.
"According to your heart, not your ego" Leo said before asking something.
"Lo choose me or Vito?"
Leo's question was like lightning during the day, Revelyn felt his tongue suddenly twisted and even his body began to sculpt.
Between Leo and Vito, which one should he choose?
"Gw ..." - Revelyn was bowed down, "unable to choose" he replied.
Leo nodded in understanding, he then rubbed the top of the girl's head.
"It's okay, and also, I'm still your best friend. If you need someone to make it your place to vent everything, I'm ready and I'll always be there for you."
"I'm sorry, if you want us to be like we used to be, sorry. I can't."
After saying that Leo left the rooftop, leaving Revelyn who started crying hysterically.
The girl recalled the words of Leo earlier, that means he and Leo, can not be like before?
Revelyn's cry became more and more, she had already failed to keep her promise. Even to be a friend, it was no longer considered.
The girl threw a rose in her hand, she sat on the floor and closed her eyes with the back of her right hand.
The girl cried, venting out all her heart.
