Rayna was silent at Kevano's words of love. His heart was racing again.
Rayna sighed and looked at Kevano boldly.
"I don't know what to say" said Rayna.
"You just listen to your heart" Kevano said.
"Sometimes, there are feelings that I myself find hard to explain. I'm scared" said Rayna.
"What are you afraid of?" ask Kevano.
"I'm afraid of Papa and Mommy, I'm afraid of letting them down. There are so many things that I'm afraid of, and there are other things that I don't want to know love for now" Rayna said.
"What?" kevano asked curiously.
"I don't want to get married young, I don't want my college to fall apart. So great are the expectations of Papa and Mommy with Me, I don't want to disappoint them, anyway, the point is," said Rayna.
Kevano took a long breath. He understood Rayna's intentions and again he failed to take Rayna's heart.
"I see, my past mistakes have disappointed your parents, and I'm really sorry for that. But, Rayn. Know that even a sinner has the right to be happy. But maybe it's not time for me to be able to get love back from you. I understand, I'm sure I'll never see you again. I'm scared, my feelings are getting out of control when we meet, "Kevano said with a smile. No one knew his heart, he was devastated to get a rejection from Rayna.
Again Kevano sighed and got up from his seat.
"Take care of yourself, I'm happy to have known you" Kevano said, leaving Rayna's house.
Rayna was silent while bowing her head. Unknowingly her tears flowed down her cheeks.
Sorry, Rayna muttered.
If Kevano feels his heart breaking, so does Rayna. I don't know why his heart really hurts to hear Kevano talk like that.
Did I say the wrong thing? Will he really never come again? Rayna Mumbles.
Rayna sobbed like a child who lost her toy. He's really sad. Why does the universe not seem to be on his side? He thought of his parents who had been so kind and loving to look after him, he would not be able to disappoint his parents. On the other hand, he did not understand his feelings for Kevano.
Do I love her? inner Rayna.
Rayna could no longer hold back her tightness, her cries getting broken.
"Geez, Grandpa!" Stefie and the aunt who had just walked into the house were shocked to see Rayna crying. Stefie rushed over to Rayna and hugged Rayna.
"What's wrong?" ask Stefie.
Rayna still sobbed, her lips hard to say anything due to her crying that still did not stop. The aunt rushed to get some water and Rayna drank it.
"Is it better?" ask Stefie. Rayna shook her head. Really, she was like a child, her face still looked adorable despite crying.
"All right, let's go to the room!" take Stefie and Rayna, too.
They're going to Rayna's room. Stefie closes Rayna's room door and locks it.
"What's the matter exactly? Wasn't Ade sleeping? Why is Ade crying like this? What makes Ade so sad like this?" stefie's confused.
Rayna wiped her tears. He looked at Stefie with a sad look.
"Have you ever been in love?" ask Rayna. Stefie frowned. He was confused to hear Rayna's question.
"What's it like to be in love?" ask Rayna.
Stefie sighed and smiled.
"Missing when we are away from our loved ones, there is pain when we see them close to others, the days are beautiful when we are with them, there is a feeling of unwillingness to part with them," said Stefie.
"Then? Is love really that beautiful?" ask Rayna.
"Not always, loving is not always beautiful. Sometimes, there's love that hurts" Stefie says.
"What kind of love hurts?" ask Rayna.
"Unrequited love, love that does not match our expectations, causing disappointment" said Stefie.
"Is Ade in love?" ask Stefie.
Rayna shook her head.
"They don't know. Sometimes, Ade hates to see it, but also sometimes misses wanting to see it. Ade is confused by Ade's own feelings. Ade never fell in love. But, to Ade's confusion, there is a painful feeling that Ade difficult to explain when he heard he said he would not find Ade again," said Rayna. I didn't feel Rayna coming back with tears.
"There is such a thing, it is better to torture himself. Do you know what caused it?" said Stefie.
Rayna shook her head.
"Because of prestige" said Stefie.
Rayna lowered her head.
"Women are not like men. Women tend to be shy about confessing their own feelings, but women deserve to be happy. There's nothing wrong with expressing your feelings in front of a loved one" Stefie said.
"So scared" said Rayna.
"Fear what?" ask Stefie.
"Fear Papa and Mommy are angry, because they don't like him" said Rayna.
"What's with holding on, Ade's feelings get better?" ask Stefie.
Rayna shook her head.
"Then, just say it. If you love each other, you will both struggle to live it" Stefie said.
"But-" Rayna stopped her speech.
"But what?" ask Stefie.
"He's gone. He said he won't bother Ade again when Ade rejects him" Rayna said.
Stefie sighed.
"Then, live the decision that Ade has taken. Love also sometimes does not have to be forced. If you are meant to be together, whatever the path, whatever the distance between you now, God will unite you" Stefie said.
"In addition, no parent will plunge his child. Parents always want the best for their children. For now, Ade is still too young, which is why maybe they don't want Ade to know love first" Stefie said.
"There's still a lot of time, Ade's future is still long. Do your best, then Ade will get the best. Believe me, love will not choose its master wrongly. If the soul mate is not going anywhere, really," said Stefie smiled and gently rubbed Rayna's head. She loves Rayna and thinks of Rayna as her sister, so she wants the best for Rayna. Stefie actually knows, who the man Rayna meant, and what was the reason Rayna's parents didn't like the man, just that Stefie didn't want to make Rayna even sadder when she heard the man's name.
