Against Restu
MR Chapter 38: Love is complicated?

Unable to linger with Anne, Brian gave up and tried to contact her first.

Brian

[Anne, are you free today?]

Seeing no reply from Anne, Brian sent a message back.

[Anne, can we meet? There's something I want to talk about]

After sending the message, Brian turned his chair around and looked out the window. The weather today is very clear, the sky looks beautiful. However, Brian's heart was clouded without rain.

In the past, Brian thought that loving someone did not have to get a reply. Simply love her in silence, take care of her, and give her happiness without asking for anything in return. But, reality? Now he just wants his love reciprocated in order to always be together and have it. He didn't want to, there was someone else who had a woman who had made him fall in love.

It's selfish, isn't it?

Love cannot be forced. But can love side with him?

Brian also wants to have a life story full of love stories, at least for the rest of his life. So that there are good memories that are always remembered in his memory.

Elsewhere, Anne simply read Brian's message without opening it. Honestly, Anne was also confused as to how to behave towards Brian. Anne realized, if she also had a different taste towards the man. When he heard Brian say that he loved him, there was a sense of happiness in the depths of his heart. But there is fear too. Fear if this feeling will make it easy to forget yourself. Especially when with Brian, a lot of things happen unexpectedly.

Anne

[Sorry, Brother. Could it be another time?]

Brian

[Why? Are you busy?]

Anne

[Yes, I have a lot of work to do]

Brian

" Oh, then. Excitement, see you next time]

...***...

After a few days, Anne did not contact Brian. So, Brian tried another way, which was to ask Seva for help so they could meet. At first, Seva hesitates out of fear that Anne will get angry. But, she also pityes seeing Brian and their increasingly distant relationship. But before, they were very close. In fact, often go out to eat together, or take a vacation to enjoy free time. But now, like a stranger.

After college, Seva invites Anne to go for a walk. At first, Anne refused because she was lazy to go anywhere. But, since it continues to force and finally Anne agreed.

Arriving at a restaurant, Seva invites Anne into a private room.

" Sister, why don't you order a table like you used to?"

" Em, I want a new atmosphere." Seva tries to find an excuse, and hopes Anne will believe it.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?" guess Anne who immediately made Seva upset.

When the door opened, what Anne thought was true. Without saying a word, Anne wanted to leave immediately because she was not ready to meet with Brian. However, Seva immediately blocked his hand.

" So let go!" pinta Anne in a cold tone.

" Anne, can't you just keep avoiding? Do you like it, with your current relationship? I know, you're actually in love, aren't you, Mr Brian? But, trying to cover it up," said Seva, who made Anne bow.

" Sister Seva___"

" Talk first well, something that in the pendam itself is not good. If you don't love her, tell her the truth. Don't hang on to other people's feelings or avoid them, because they're selfish and more painful!" after that, Seva releases Anne and leaves. Anne was still in her place.

"Anne, can we eat and talk for a while?" brian asked who was standing at the door.

Anne finally agreed and entered the room. Soon a waiter came along who served them food.

" Eat Anne, we'll talk after the meal" Brian asked.

" em's. "

" When he saw Anne who had a little trouble cutting the saging steak, Brian immediately replaced it with his meat that had been cut.

"Eat, both halal," said Brian who tried to keep smiling.

" Thank you."

For some reason, Brian suddenly misses Anne who likes to grumble, talk a lot, and ceplos. Seeing Anne who was so quiet, made Brian as if he was not with Anne, but someone else.

"How was your lecture, Anne?" Brian tried to open the conversation.

" Well done well."

" Good."

" What do you want to talk about?" asked Anne who ventured to look at Brian.

" Are you not comfortable lingering with me, Anne?" Brian asked back.

" Not that, Anne just___"

" I'm sorry Anne," cut Brian who started getting into the core conversation.

"Sorry for what?"

" Everything, sorry if I made you uncomfortable. Sorry if I was being rude, and sorry because_____ I love you," continued Brian who tried to hold tightness in the chest. Honestly, it's hard to say all this.

Anne bowed and slightly raised the corner of her lips." No need to apologize for loving someone. Because in reality, we can't control this heart to love who."

" Just sometimes, love is___ is a little complicated" Anne continued.

" Complicated?" brian who doesn't understand Anne's intentions.
