Love Grow Slowly's

44. behind became cold

"so, how was Lo's first day of school?" Louis asked as he sipped his guava juice.

Kevin smiled broadly. I really want him to scream so happy. But in front of Gavin, he can't. His head shrieked if Gavin had looked at him sharply. Kevin's wide smile instantly faded as his body felt sudden goosebumps.

"Seru" Kevin replied briefly and flatly.

Louis raised one eyebrow and looked at Kevin in surprise. "You sure that's all? I mean, with just 1 word?"

"L-yes... What do I answer?" Kevin asked nervously.

Treek..

Gavin pushed his chair back and stood up. Sontak Valeria put on an angry face when she had just come up with their lunch today.

"where you? You can't leave lunch. Gua knew that Lo had eaten breakfast today. Sit now!" Valeria yelled a little.

Gavin sat back with a gloomy face. Then Valeria helped the waitress to put all their food down. This girl sat down with an annoyed snort.

Since their return from Florida 3 days ago, Gavin has been colder than usual. Gavin was also more silent and continued to emit an aura that gave everyone in their class goosebumps.

Gavin literally turned into an untouched polar ice cap. The running refrigerator level has now been destroyed. There was no happiness from him. Even if there is not one single drop at all.

Gavin's life is now completely dark.

After 10 minutes, Gavin had finished his meal earlier than his friends. Gavin pushed his chair back and stood up. Matany looked at Valeria who was still eating her food.

"Thanks for the meal" Gavin said before leaving the cafeteria.

"It seems like the cave can't be one more class than Gavin" whispered Kevin in Andro's ear.

Andro put down his spoon and turned his head. "Lo can move to Louis' class tomorrow" Andro said.

"Thanks"

4 months later....

Gavin's father walked up the stairs in his house in a relaxed manner. His hand again felt his pants pocket pocket to make sure the thing he had been hiding since had not been left behind.

His hand pushed the doorknob slowly. He could feel the wind that felt so strong. His eyes were staring at the blue sky so clean. His feet stepped forward and stopped at the chair that had a large umbrella next to him then he sat with his right foot on his left foot.

His hand reached into the box from the side of his pants and pulled out the contents. He also took out a lighter that was in his shirt pocket.

He would smoke secretly in his own home rooftop.

"So this is what always makes the waiters clean the rooftop floor every Monday?"

Gavin's father was shocked. He accidentally dropped the cigarette along with the lighter. He looked back and forth to find someone who had heard his voice.

It turned out that Gavin had been sitting in the corner there hugging his knees. Gavin's father took back the cigarette and the lighter and walked up to Gavin.

"What are you doing?" Ask his father who is trying to light his cigarette.

"Come"

"You enjoying spring?" Ask again.

"Not at all"

"Spring next year you'll start college. Is there a university you're after?"

"I want to go abroad" said Gavin, looking down.

"You're leaving Italy?"

Gavin. His head was raised looking at the clear sky. Then he leaned against the wall. His eyes then looked at his father's eyes wistfully but felt a bit piercingly sharp. As if understanding, Gavin's father smiled faintly.

"Too many warm memories you feel here. I understand, son"

Gavin nodded slowly.

"It looks like you're serious about dealing with that girl's smell. Did you love her so much that you had the intention to marry her?"

"If I can marry her, why not" Gavin said confidently.

Gavin's father turned his back when he heard Gavin's words. It sounds like you have no burden.

"You-you sure?" Ask Gavin's father a little choked.

"Yes"

"Hey, marrying her isn't easy as long as you know. You know that, right? Yuki is a big miss of a distinguished family. If it is likened, we are just ordinary nobles who have the intention to propose to the Royal Princess. Can we?"

Gavin sighed softly. Then he stood up and looked at his father sharply.

"The nobleman is still the noble. The nobility would rise in rank if he could expand his range. That's what I'm gonna do. When I succeed, I will propose to him before the king. And the king will smile while accepting me" Gavin replied seriously.

"Don't underestimate your own child. You compare me too much with Kevin. Kevin is the first child to inherit the company. I understand that Kevin should take precedence. But don't let you forget your other son. Especially Sena" continued Gavin coldly.

Gavin's father is stunned by Gavin's words. Has he really been that bad all along? When thinking back to the past, how many evil words had he said to Gavin when scolding him? A dozen? Tens of? Or maybe hundreds of times, thousands?

"Sorry Vin. Forgive me" said the man with a guilty feeling he had just realized.

And without them noticing, Kevin had been eavesdropping from behind the door. From the beginning they started talking about Gavin going abroad to continue his education.

Kevin was so stunned when Gavin said that he felt constantly being compared by his father. Because all this time he thought he was the only one who understood if their father did not like Gavin.

But Kevin was wrong. Gavin managed to hide everything. All emotions, feelings and desires. He was alone without anyone's help.

It turns out that Gavin had also realized that his father did not like him. So is this what keeps Gavin cool and rarely smiles when he gets together with his family? Never mind gathering, Gavin won't be able to get together with his complete family for more than 10 minutes.

"Sorry Gav. Excuse me. The cave should have talked about this problem from the same time as Lo" Kevin said in silence.

🌸🌸🌸

In the days that followed, Gavin was very passionate about learning. He even resigned as the head of a basketball team that he liked very much. Gavin was never seen playing basketball again. Not even touching the basketball.

Gavin is getting away from people. He only hangs out with his friends at school lunch. After that, he will be back alone. Gathered in their tongkrongan place never went again Gavin.

All the new activities he did alone. Starting from going to school alone, breakfast in the school cafeteria alone, walking around alone. Except for lazy lunch, he can not eliminate eating with his friends.

The most common places he visited were the park and the city library. The season always favors him to get out of the house. The sun continues to radiate its rays brightly. And during the weekend, Gavin will usually go to the gym or just jog around his house.

All by themselves.

Although Kevin always makes all the ways and reasons to make this twin happy, but Gavin still rejects it raw. Even Sena had repeatedly whined whenever Gavin refused, Gavin's decision was already irreversible. Sena had to give up and let her brother be alone quietly.

The book that is now his friend.

That'sallthatis.

Sleeping on the green grass in the backyard of his house became the most comfortable spot today. Gavin really enjoyed the sun.

And elsewhere, his twin was walking down the sidewalk whistling softly. Kevin stopped at one of the cafes that they had long made a place for tongkrongan. His hand pushed the glass door and entered.

The bell clinks as Kevin pushes the door. Andro, Valeria, Louis and Olivia. Ow, are they double dates? Huhuhoo.... Kevin becomes sad if he remembers himself who is still single.

"Should I go home now?" Ask Kevin who is standing in front of them.

Valeria scrunched her forehead confused. "This is why?" Ask Valeria.

"Finally, squirming you in pairs is so jealous" said Kevin while pulling his chair and then sitting.

"Where's Gavin? He hasn't been here in a long time" Olivia said, switching the conversation.

"He's been avoiding me more since that day" Kevin replied sadly.

"That day?"

"Yes. The day he was honest with me that he felt constantly being compared to me and told himself that he was going abroad when he went to college. He had been uncomfortable in that house all this time. So he wants to go" Kevin said.

"Gavin feels that way? Kok cave just realized" said Olivia while downing up and staring at the ceiling of the cafe.

"Let's learn. You've only seen Gavin for a year" Louis patted Olivia on the shoulder.

"Seriously Gavin feels that way? But how did you know?" Andro started to wonder.

"Cave nguping secretly hehehe"

"Cih" Olivia screeched after hearing the word eavesdropping.

"But, you're nguping. Who knows Lo misheard" said Valeria.

"Ga! Cave nguping from the beginning they began to talk" said kevin defended himself.

They fell silent and went back to thinking. "Hm, the cave forgot since when did Gavin become so cold" Louis said.

"You remember the time when the cave jumped class 3rd class SD? Maybe since then. And at SMP, the cave takes one year, so we are class again" said Kevin who managed to make Andro realize something.

"Ah yes cave remember! At that time the cave wants to invite Gavin to play, at that time the position of the cave just entered your home. There Auntie again ngomelin Gavin because he did not jump class with Lo" said Andro while pointing at Kevin.

"So from that time yes ... Not too long either. 9 years Gavin refrained from being open to anyone" said Louis

"It's only fitting that he's so dependent on Yuki. It turned out that Yuki was the most convenient place for him to tell stories. Gua doesn't know that Gavin trusts Yuki so much. Why the cave so his best friend all this time" Valeria said while stirring his ice coffee with a straw.

"Don't do that. Mending now we find out which country Gavin will be looking for" Louis said.

"What if we take Gavin to Germany? Incidentally the original cave mama there and there is a branch company papa cave. We also have a house there. Gua sure Gavin would want to" Andro's proposal increasingly makes Louis excited.

"Cave's coming!" peekit Louis's.

"Germans? I think we're going to LDR" Valeria told Olivia.

"Yes. We want to take you to France. Precisely in Paris" said Olivia lethargic.

"Well, I don't like LDR" Louis said in a spoiled tone.

"Lo how's Kev? Wanna stay here or come with us?"

"Actually the Dutch are the cave's destination now. Sorry guys" he replied with a wry smile

"It's okay. What matters is that we fight and succeed together!" Andro's spirit is now burning.

"The club likes Lo's style"
