Marrying my Dark Beloved Friend

Chapter 28

Alea opened her phone, hoping for news from the man she still loved so much. But the reality is inversely proportional. No messages or phone calls from Rafi. 

"Rafi, you're so evil, anyway" the lyrics continued to shed tears. 

He would occasionally wipe away every single point of tears that were about to come out. But, it remained that both of Alea's rosy cheeks were drenched due to the rushing tears. The woman put her phone back on the table. 

He closed both eyes with his hands. The pain was very, very unstoppable by Raisa. She doesn't care about the people around her. His heart had completely collapsed these past few days. 

Not long after, came a sweet black-faced man, the man approached Alea who was incessantly crying. 

"Alea," greeted the man with a heavy voice. There was chocolate that had been given a ribbon, in his hand. 

Alea, who had closed her eyes earlier, now started to remove both hands from her face. "Rian" Alea said. He then cleaned the remains of tears using tissue that was already available. 

"When have you been here?" aela asked as she continued to try to wipe away the tears. 

"Just arrived." Rian started to sit before Alea. The chocolate he brought was also offered to the woman he still loved very much. "It's eating chocolate first. Let's just calm down."

"Thanks" Alea said briefly. Then he opened a large enough chocolate, enough to make his stomach full if indeed the woman was able to spend. 

The chocolate was then eaten by Alea piece by piece without speaking even though Rian was there. The man was also reluctant to invite Alea to speak first because he understood that Alea still needed time. 

Alea continued to eat the chocolate chip by piece with still a little bit of a stir. His heart has not recovered. It's just that, this chocolate can act as a wound antidote, although it is not much. 

Rian placed both elbows crosswise over the table. "Want ice cream?" He offers Alea ice cream because as far as Rian knows, Alea needs something sweet like chocolate and ice cream when she feels sad. 

Without Alea telling a story, Rian already knew that the woman was indeed sad because she looked after crying earlier. 

Alea nodded quickly, still directing the chocolate chips into her mouth. 

Rian also bought ice cream at the coffee shop. Because it already knows the taste of Alea, Rian immediately chose chocolate-flavored ice cream with almond nut topings on it. 

Chocolate is one-third of the total. Alea did not feel full at all when it was like this. He wants to eat more. 

Not long after, Rian returned with the ice cream he had bought. Alea set her eyes on the ice cream. 

"Now, eat first. Spend, yes," Rian said, giving the ice cream. 

"One only?" asked Alea with a very innocent face. Her tears have stopped. 

"Yes one first. Later if I buy less again," said Rian with a very calm nature. Her eyes were unceasingly looking at Alea's ayu face. 

After Alea finished the ice cream and chocolate, Rian only dared to open a chat with the woman. "So, what's wrong with you? Who was crying?" asked Rian in such a slow and adem tone. 

"I'm confused." Again his speech was cut off because he could not speak. Rian continued to look at the beautiful face of the woman, not at all did he cut Alea's words. 

"I'm confused where Rafi is." Alea's tears broke immediately. "He has no news for days. 

The woman again grabbed the tissue because her tears had started to cloud again. " Where the hell is he going, Rian?" 

Rian cleared his throat for a moment. "Eh." The man seemed to be preparing himself as well as the right words to explain everything. 

That Alea could no longer be together with Rafi. That Rafi had repented not to repeat her mistake again. Rafi loved Raisa and won't leave her again. 

"He's better than Raisa" said Rian in the end, making Alea cry. 

"Seriously, Rian?" alea asked still crying. His voice was also still very hoarse due to his crying. "It's awful." The woman closed her eyes with both hands. Unable to accept this reality. 

"Seriously, Alea. He does not love you. He loves Raisa and her son now. His son was born, Rafi who accompanied the process of childbirth Raisa. I think he also realized that loving you is a big mistake. So do you, too, have to realize that loving the husband of a man like Rafi is also a big mistake." Rian presented a very broad explanation. 

Occasionally the man stroked the back of Alea's hand, sometimes moving on the woman's shoulder. He was trying to calm Alea down in this very difficult situation. Meanwhile, Alea was still incessantly crying. 

The woman could never hold back tears. Right now, his heart seemed to be smashed apart. His world collapsed instantly. 

"That's just awful, everyone" Alea said with a still-delight. 

Rian could only explain as necessary. Just explain what should be explained, and not explain what does not need to be explained. He also did not judge Alea at all because he had taken the husband of his sister. 

"Calm down, there's still me. You're not alone, Alea. Never feel alone, yes," Rian said. The man was still trying to calm the woman he loved so much. 

Although Alea had repeatedly hurt Rian and his sister, but it did not make Rian's heart move to another heart. He still loved Alea very much, not even a little less now. 

"I love Rafi, Rian" Alea said with emphasis as if in rebellion. 

Alea's words actually sliced Rian's heart because again he had to hear that Alea was only Rafi's love, not her love. Not even loving himself at all. 

But, that man must be tough. He had to fight desperately in order to melt Alea's heart. Also struggling so that Rafi does not return to the arms of the woman. He hopes everything stays like this. Not like a while ago. 

"Yes, but you can't be selfish, Alea. Aye, right? Just like I love you. But, I shouldn't be selfish to have you, right? You are too. Pretty dear Rafi, but you don't demand to be able to have her again." Rian explained clearly, making Alea's heart taste sliced into layers. 

Until it was enough, Rian invited Alea to go home. The man will take Alea to Alea's boarding. 

He'll make sure Alea's okay. Now, Rafi is guarding Raisa. Now, it was her turn to take care of Alea. They were now exchanging tasks.
