Wingless Butterfly

CHAPTER 136 TWO MONTHS LATER

Finally the Cassandra Case found a bright spot, because Cassandra was proven guilty and successfully found. He is now in prison and feels the consequences of his own actions.

All that is also inseparable from the hard work of Bryant who told his men to continue to find the existence of Cassandra. It's a good thing that Cassandra hasn't managed to disrupt my family, because Cassandra's planning to burn down my house in the village.

I don't know why Cassandra could be so cruel and vindictive. His parents did not stay silent, they tried their hardest to get Cassandra out of prison. Even what hurt me was when Cassandra's parents came to see me and gave me enough money to get Cassandra out of jail. Of course I rejected it because I still had my pride.

But for sure I am very grateful because at least my problem can be solved. Cassandra received the punishment she deserved. And I hope that in prison he can come to his senses and change.

Two Months later after I almost attempted suicide by drifting away on the beach, in the future there are still many new events that I experienced.

One of them this afternoon after I got home from my college. Between happy and sad I got the news that Erika will soon be engaged to Arsel. Erika and Brother Arsel met me and reported it live.

" Riss, there's something I want to say to you. "

" What's up Rik. "

" May you also be happy with the news that I am about to tell you. "

" Yes Rik, whatever it is you are happy I must be happy too. "

" Me and Arsel are getting engaged. "

For a moment I was shocked by what I had just heard from Erika's own mouth. I felt my heart ache when I heard it, my eyes also felt hot when I saw the two of them. My defense began to collapse as my tears almost fell down my cheeks. But I strengthen my heart in front of both of them, lest they know that the truth is that I am deeply wounded.

As hard as I can, I am strong and happy to hear that they will be engaged even though my heart is saying something else. I smiled at Erika and was really happy to see her happy with Sister Arsel, her first love. "

" Congratulations Erika and Brother Arsel, I am so happy to hear you are getting engaged. May you be happy and always given smooth until the marriage stage. "

" You're being sincere, right ??? "

To be honest I was offended to hear Erika say this, but I tried to strengthen my heart to continue to be patient.

" Have I been your best friend for so long I ever denied you Rik ??? Did I ever break your heart and ruin our friendship ???? "

Erika immediately nodded as I said that. He even became his own misdeed.

" It's not like that I mean Riss, you also had time to know and befriend Brother Arsel during this time. I'm afraid you're holding a taste in him, too. And you don't like our relationship. "

" We used to be friends with Rik, even more than a friend. You know what my nature is like. I'm not as bad as what you have in mind it's Rik. As long as you are happy with Brother Arsel, I must also be happy, "I look towards Brother Arsel while still holding back my tears that want to drip.

Arsel looked at me and seemed like he wanted to say something, but he just kept quiet and said nothing.

" Yes thanks to Riss, but I thank you because thanks to you I met Arsel again. Even now our love is reunited. "

" Yes Rik. "

" Yes already Riss, then come yes at our fiancee's show. After all, there was once a good relationship between us. Even though that moment will not be able to return. "

" Yes, I know Rik. I'll make sure I come to you two's show. "

" Yes already then, we say yes. Be careful on the road. "

When Brother Arsel passed by me, my heart felt uneasy. I stared at him. A handsome, rich man seems to be very compatible with Erika who is beautiful and also rich. There was not the slightest flaw that the two of them had.

And at the same time I could no longer hold back these tears. My tears fell down profusely soaking my cheeks. I have to let Brother Arsel happy with Erika. Erika has lost her honor because of my stupidity. Now it is fitting that I give up Brother Arsel completely for him.

Suddenly from behind someone was holding my shoulder. Just look at me directly behind. It was Bryant.

" It's me bringing you a handkerchief. "

" What do you do ???? "

" Make all your tears and sadness go away. "

" No need. "

" Why the hell are you always so cold to me ? ''

" Ordinary. "

" Yes, let go of your tears, why are you crying. "

" It's okay, "I replied as I left Bryant.

But Bryant took my hand and prevented me from leaving.

" I know you're not okay right now, are you ??? "

" I want to go home. "

" My same story, do you think this has anything to do with Erika and Arsel ?? "

" Okay, if you want to know. Erika and Brother Arsel are getting engaged. Is it satisfied, right ??? "

" Cry if you want to cry, don't cry alone when I'm not around. From now on assume I'm your friend. "

" I'm sorry I can't, I have to go home. "

And suddenly Bryant pulled me so I fell in his arms. I tried to let go of her embrace, but Bryant hugged me even tighter.

" Crying, I know you are very sad to hear the news that Erika and Arsel will soon be engaged. But you should know, at least I'm still left who will always be there for you. Even though I know you never liked me. But for this time, let me remove your grief. "

I also fell, this time I cried as much as shed all my sorrow. I can't lie to my feelings, I've lost a best friend to Erika and a man I started to love. But anyway before I met Brother Arsel, Erika and Brother Arsel already loved each other.

" Can I get through all this, see them get engaged and let my heart ache because of this jealousy ??? "

" You're patient, you should be able to let go of all this Riss. All of this is his destiny, and no one knows. Let them both be happy, and I'm sure one day you'll get your own happiness. "

I still continued to cry, enjoying the wounds and grief that kept eating away at my soul. And still in Bryant's arms.
