My Beastly Husband's

Meaning of Friendship

"Wrong what? Is it because you gave me that car until you felt guilty about me? Or because of Lucas?"

Naura is shocked to hear Lunara mention Lucas by name. "What do you mean Lun? Why are you talking about Lucas all of a sudden?"

"Because I'm here to talk about Lucas, Naura. At first she was going to marry you but because you suddenly left and canceled your marriage, until you didn't get married. Kak Lucas's family was ashamed of the guests they had invited to ask me to marry Kak Lucas. Is it because of that, you feel guilty to me?"

"I feel guilty for you both. You and Lucas. All this time I've heard you tell me about Lucas but I ignored him and thought your story was just a form of admiration for Lucas. The fact is you love Lucas. I'm guilty of that Lunara." Instantly Naura dropped her tears, "i was guilty of ignoring your feelings and even caring about myself. I-i'm sorry! I'm really sorry for that! And I feel guilty for Lucas canceling the marriage without talking to him but I have no regrets because what I did was the right thing!"

Everything Naura said was not to make Lunara not hate her but the regret she felt for Lunara for almost marrying Lucas - the man her best friend loved. The story begins when Lunara meets Lucas at the library. The man helped her when she had trouble picking up books. A simple thing that was considered normal for Lucas, even considered extraordinary by Lunara who fell in love at first sight. But by then, Naura was already dating Lucas. Lunara often told Naura about the man she fell in love with but Lunara never mentioned Lucas in front of Naura.

"Actually it's my fault Naura. I didn't tell you that the name of the man I love is Lucas. Had I told you his name, we wouldn't have misunderstood this. I'm sorry Naura! I was wrong with you!"

Naura clasped Lunara's hands tightly while smiling at her best friend. "It's okay Lunara. I understand!"

"But Naura, do you really have no feelings for Lucas?" ask Lunara who still does not know about Naura's feelings for Lucas.

"There is absolutely nothing. My feelings for him are just friends." It was hard for Naura to lie to Lunara about her feelings for Lucas. Especially to himself who still loves Lucas very much but for the sake of Lunara's life, Naura follows Aagha's lies.

"When did you know Lucas?" ask Lunara who wants to hear the story of the closeness of Naura and Lucas.

"Two years ago."

"It's just right Lucas fell in love with you. It turns out you knew him earlier than I did. I only knew Lucas a year ago. Even the one who always follows him is me. She never cared about me but even though she didn't care, I still wished she liked me because she never said she loved anyone else." Lunara looks sad to remember the words Lucas loved Naura so much on their wedding night. Even her teary eyes wanted to cry but she tried to hold back the tears from coming out because she did not want Naura to pity her.

Even so, Naura understands Lunara's feelings that must be hurt when she finds out that the man she loves loves loves her instead. 'Forgive me Lunara! I should have cared more about you but I ignored your feelings instead. I don't deserve to be your friend.'

Naura, who was sitting next to Lunara, cried sadly but she smothered her mouth so that Lunara would not hear the sound of her hard-earned cry she could endure.

The silent Lunara again replied, "Naura! You really don't love Lucas, do you?"

"Why do you keep asking questions like that Lunara?" Instead of answering, Naura asked back, and she was upset with Lunara because of Lunara's question that seemed to not believe her.

Sontak made Naura smitten by hearing Lunara's words, even more upset with her best friend. Irritated, he stood in front of Lunara who certainly could not look at him. "Lunara, you're married to Lucas. The time you want to get divorced is just because of me. Lun, that marriage is not something you can play with. Marriage is a sacred thing."

"You said marriage was something sacred. Then how about you cancel your wedding?" Lunara was also upset with Naura who spoke rudely to her until she raised her voice.

"So I cancelled my marriage to Lucas before we actually got married." Naura was silent after hearing Lunara's words, but she immediately replied when she was finally able to reply to her friend's words.

"I'm sorry! I got carried away because of my problems with Lucas."

"You shouldn't question how I feel about Lucas, Lunara. Because he is your husband. You just made me harder. And besides you, you love Lucas and even tried to kill yourself because of the news that I was married to Lucas. Now that you're married, you're going to divorce her. What do you want Lunara." Naura is really upset at Lunara who cannot be firm with herself, even Lunara asks her feelings for Lucas. Naura hated it because every time she heard it, she didn't know what to answer.

"Where did you hear I tried to kill myself?" ask Lunara who never told her about it to anyone closest to her except Aagha and Candy.

"I know everything from Aagha's sister."

"Was it because of that problem, you're not getting married to Lucas?" ask Lunara curiously.

"Yes." Yeah."

Lunara was a little shocked to hear Naura's reply. "Good Naura! So the main problem is because I tried to kill myself. Honestly, I was heartbroken after hearing Lucas propose to you but my biggest heartbreak is not that but you."

"Me?"

"Yes. Since the accident, you've never seen me in person. You stay away from Naura, not like you used to come every time I needed someone. You always give me spirit. I'm slumped. I'm desperate to think you don't want to get close to me anymore. But I had hope in Lucas and that hope also disappeared when I heard he wanted to marry you. I hurt Lucas, but I hurt you more than I ever told Lucas to. You hid. I felt betrayed by my own best friend, Naura. Compared to friends and love, I'm more afraid of losing a friend that's hard to find in this world."

Naura dropped her tears again. This time, he did not hide his cries. His crying voice was heard in front of Lunara. With a feeling of sadness, Naura crouched down in front of Lunara then clasped Lunara's hands together. "I'm sorry! For a moment I was mad at you until I cornered you Lunara. But my problem is leaving Lucas, because I'm alone. I'd be lying if I said it was because of you."

Naura did not want to burden Lunara with her words a moment ago until she said that so that Lunara did not feel guilty about herself.

"I understand. Don't keep apologizing to Naura, because the meaning of that friendship is to understand each other and forgive each other!"
