Next day. Aira had already finished all the homework early. The girl just had to enjoy breakfast while reading a novel. Only then did they go clean up. Of course before Lia came he already had no other job. Moreover, the friend said it would come at ten in the morning which means less than an hour from the time now.
The sound of the roar of the motor was heard stopping in front of the house, making Aira who happened to be at home himself stop his reading. The girl was waiting in the living room. He had already sent a message to Lia to open the door herself without having to knock on the door. At first everything seemed relaxed until Rei saw the sweet face of the owner of the house.
Lia even patted Rei on the shoulder to regain consciousness in the real world. The expression of a face of disbelief with eyes blinked and lips gawking is really funny to be immortalized. Especially when a soft voice greeted the eardrum let him sit in the guest room.
"Rei, didn't you say Alex would be engaged in a few days. If yes, what is the evidence?" ask Aira to the point. However, he could not act rashly because Alex was still acting as usual.
Rei who realized what Aira meant by meeting her smiled faintly, then took out a mobile phone showing a history of messages that happened last night. "I'll hang out with another friend. The evidence will be in plain sight without being inviolable. Are you willing to see the truth?"
Aira just nodded her head slowly but Lia tried to digest the intent from Rei. Alex engaged? The news must have been a misunderstanding. Moreover, the last discussion was enough to convince the heart that his best friend's relationship is fine.
"Today it just so happened that we were going to get together with the agenda to celebrate Alex's engagement. He is also required to come with his candidate. If you want, join us." Rei stressed every word to Aira to think things through without hurting her heart.
Aira was pensive for a moment trying to think of something that could be good to be together. If you come together, it becomes a new problem. Whatever Alex decides, she knows the consequences. So He must think clearly, "You gather and celebrate without my presence. I'll look elsewhere and make evidence that could be the end of our endless story."
"What do you want to do?" rei asked curiously as the cold girl in front of him looked very calm but the look of the eyes radiated sadness.
Aira smiled faintly with slightly raised eyebrows, "A special gift for loved ones on a happy day."
The meeting that took place in the afternoon at a cafe, made Aira, Lia and Rei arrive early. The two girls even wore covered clothes with faces wearing masks and ordered a place that could be the best spot to be an observer. The meeting that lasted quite a long time seemed to be going perfectly.
Where Alex comes brings a girl who is introduced as a future wife. The meeting became an official invitation for classmates to come to the event to be held in two days. All the conversations were recorded including taking some photos that were worthy of being immortalized. Aira's firmness makes Lia rub the back of the friend to stay strong.
The girl does not know if Alex made the engagement for the mother's coercion. But because the heart only loves Aira. The young man was desperate to establish love in the back without the knowledge of the family even a new relationship was used as an excuse as a place of busyness. Though not every meeting He really met his future wife.
"Lex, know the candidate, the time will be taken anyway." Leo teases Alex on purpose because he thinks the engagement is so hasty.
"Sorry Ka Alex, yes. My name is Rose." Roses reached out to get a warm welcome from Alex's friends except Rei who refused to shake hands by choosing to enjoy a fresh drink.
The atmosphere was getting warmer until the curious Rei tried to find information that Aira could hear directly. Just so he asked something that made all the friends staring at him horror. "Lex have you broken up with Aira?"
"Eitherway. Discuss the others." replied Alex as he exhaled a rough breath but Rose felt strange with a sudden change of mood sad for no reason.
He stared at Rei without blinking, "Ka Rei, can you tell who Aira is? Is he one of Alex's friends? Which one is it?"
Rei was actually pitying the Rose as well for being fooled by Alex but the most injured of all was Aira. Girls who currently can only listen without trying to show their identity. It's not a problem that he likes Aira but the heart realizes that Alex is acting out of bounds.
"Just ask your candidate. Lex, I hope your story doesn't hurt people who love you because I can't let it hurt" Rei said.
The rose looked at Alex asking for an explanation but the one being stared at simply fell silent. "Do you have a lover, Ka?"
"No" he replied firmly withstanding the rebellious taste in the chest.
It hurts so much to lie to yourself. If he does not remember his promise to his mother. It would definitely acknowledge Aira as the queen in her heart. Rice has become porridge, now can not be changed anymore than to accept the reality that exists. But the problem is when can I be honest with Aira? He felt unable to lose the life spirit who always accompanied when likes and sorrows.
"I believe you, Ka. May our relationship last. Aamiin's." Rose smiled even she could not shake the hand of the man sitting next to her.
Everything at the table was silent with Alex's answer. They knew Alex loved Aira and even waited months to get close to a north polar girl. Then suddenly it was easy to say something that was beyond expectations. As friends can only support even though they are also disappointed by Alex's actions are not gentlemanly.
On the other hand there is silence. Aira tried to remain calm with emotions exploding in her heart. Pain hears firsthand what is being fought for. Maybe this is called non-match until the pain decorates the story without a name.
I survived with all my heart. But you destroyed it mercilessly. I'm resigned in the name of love, but you're scratching a wound in the chest. Hearts set aside hoping you're back. Without me knowing, this self is no longer meaningful.
