The Pearl of the Heart of Alvino

30

Febian sat on the grass on the outskirts of the Lake, his eyes staring at the twilight sky of orange red color reflected on the calm waters of the Lake. He waited for almost half an hour, but there was no sign of anyone waiting for him.

"I know you won't come" he murmured. He stood up and set his feet to get out of the place. However, as he turned around, his body was fixated on the figure of the beautiful girl standing in front of him.

The girl who used to look a little tomboy now looks beautiful in a long dress that is very slick. The thick glasses that daily adorned his face were now out of place, even the sweet smile that was engraved on his lips seemed to be able to make Febian's heart pound. Febian's eyes locked onto the figure he had admired since childhood.

"Sorry Bi, I'm late." Febian awakens from his composure when he hears Rania's voice.

"It's okay, Ran. You're so beautiful" praised Febian unknowingly, making Rania's cheeks blush red. Rania walked up to Febian and the two of them sat side by side staring towards the Lake.

"What's the surprise for me, Bi?" rania asked impatiently, the smile on Rania's lips was still clearly imprinted. Febian did not reply, he simply reached into his pants pocket and took out a heart-shaped velvet box from there.

"Ran, I know maybe this is too soon, but I can't hold it much longer." Febian turned to squat in front of Rania, he showed the box and opened it, Rania's eyes staring at a ring inside the box.

"Ran, will you be my lover and the wife and mother of my children?" febian asked with a sweet smile adorning her lips, Rania stared fixedly at Febian. He saw Febian's smile that was so charming but that smile was unable to make his heart tremble.

"Sorry, Bi. I can't" said Rania. He slightly lowered his head to avoid the look in his eyes from Febian.

"Why?" The smile on Febian's lips faded with a very disappointed look.

"Bi, to me you are only my best friend and I have no sense of more than that." Rania looked at Febian, so she could be sure that she wasn't kidding.

"Ran, are you sure you don't love me even a little bit?" ask Febian to make sure. Rania shook her head slowly, her bead eyes staring at the calm waters of the Lake.

"Sorry Bi, I already have someone who has stolen my heart long ago and I can no longer give my heart to others anymore" said Rania bitterly. The shadow that night with Alvino again twisted from the memory of his brain. "If I can't have him, but I've really put my whole heart on him" he added.

"Ran, is that person Kak Al?" Not the answer Febian got but the long breath he heard.

"You don't need to know who he is, Bi." Febian clasped Rania's hand, while Rania could only fall silent.

"Wouldn't you feel a little for me, Ran."

"Sorry, Bi. To me you are just my best friend no more" said Rania firmly. Yes, it is true what Alvino said at that time that he must be able to be firm on his feelings before he hurt more hearts.

"Then I can't do anything anymore. I can only pray for your happiness, Ran. Thanks for everything." Febian stood up and was about to leave the place.

"Bi, can we stay as friendly as before? I don't want to lose a friend like you" said Rania slowly, she stood up and looked at Febian's body, which stood three steps ahead of her.

"I'll try it, Ran." Febian did not turn around in the slightest, he just left without saying goodbye. Rania looked at Febian's back which slowly drifted away.

"I'm sorry, Bi. I hurt your heart so much now. I just don't want your love for me to go deeper and I'm going to hurt you even more" Rania murmured.

He closed his eyes, now that he felt that he had already deeply hurt Febian. Rania could not do and say anything more, but if I could be honest her heart felt more relieved even though maybe her relationship with Febian would not be as familiar as before.
