What really happened was....
Reymond ran towards the locker room where the models were gathered, but he did not find Clara. Already almost the entire corner of the building on the first floor he explored, but he still did not see Clara. Finally Reymond decided to get out of the building and return past people who still seemed busy to go to and fro with lighting on their respective phones. I don't know what happened, why this grand building can turn off the lights, but he knows whatever belongs to the American master must be filled with perfection. But even so, Reymond did not care much about her, at this time he just wanted to find where Clara was.
The corner of his little heart really can't lie to his own feelings, if he really likes the girl, the girl who has been his friend for a long time, and a feeling that he had grown up with but did not dare to express.
Reymond's eyes squinted at the sight of a girl sitting in the back garden seat of the building. From behind, Reymond knew it was Clara.
Reymond immediately walked over and approached Clara who looked like she was daydreaming so she was unaware of Reymond's presence there.
And yes, she was calming down in some way when Captain Stone said Joice was Reymond's future wife. He did not know what he felt, but his heart why it hurt and felt unwilling, even he could not hold back his emotions earlier so he preferred to go from there.
"Clara" called Reymond suddenly made the dreamy Clara immediately gasp in shock
"Reymond" said Clara who immediately stood up and looked at Reymond with a shocked look
"Why are you here?" ask Clara again
Reymond was still silent and bowed for a while as he sighed deeply. She was confused now, her sense of being held back and not being revealed her true heart was tight. But if it's revealed, won't it be a problem?
"I just want to meet you" Reymond replied late on. Clara immediately frowned and snorted cynically. She sat back in her seat and looked forward while Reymond was still staring at the pretty face
"Why meet me. You should accompany your future wife inside" Clara replied sounding flat and cold. He's been trying to hold back from looking ordinary, but it's really hard
Reymond was seen sighing again and immediately sat down beside Clara. His gaze also stared nanar ahead where there were only plants made like a fence decorated with garden lights, nothing interesting, but only in that way they could hold their respective feelings. Staring at each other would only make their hearts even more messy
"Joice is the son of daddy's best friend, her parents have been dead since three years ago" Reymond said quietly, but Clara was silent, she did not want to hear anything at this time, but why did Reymond say something he didn't want to hear
"Daddy and his parents have been dating me for a long time" Reymond added
Clara was seen closing her eyes for a moment and taking a deep breath. Isn't that nice? But why does his heart hurt
"Do you think a marriage that is not based on love can go well?" ask Reymond. This time he turned to Clara who was also looking at him confused, but Reymond knew, the face looked sad and sad
"Why do you ask that, don't you like it?" ask Clara anyway. His tone felt so heavy, and his heart felt rumbling now
Reymond sighed for a moment and shook his head slowly
"I don't know her, I don't know how she is. I just appreciate daddy's decision" Reymond replied with a lowered gaze
"Love will definitely grow as time goes on" Clara murmured
"Is that really so?" reymond and Clara immediately nodded slowly but hesitantly made Reymond immediately snort a sinister smile
"You're wrong" Reymond said. Clara turned to Reymond in confusion
"There's been someone in my heart for a long time, I've been putting my heart on him. But unfortunately I never dared to express my feelings. And when I had the courage, one fact immediately broke my spirit, I had to go back to harbouring my feelings of love. Every time I try to eliminate it and replace it with something new, but it's useless, the longer it's not the fading, the more" Reymond said
Reymond immediately looked at Clara fixedly, the girl looked stunned and bowed with an increasingly sad face. Reymond has fallen for another girl? And why doesn't he know, even they've been friends for a long time. And all that time Clara's been saving her feelings for Reymond. The man is cold yet remains warm and so attentive to his.
"Clara" calls Reymond and Clara looks back at Reymond's different looking face tonight
"Someone is you" said Reymond, making Clara faintly gasp and blink her eyes several times. Clara was seen shaking slowly and rewinding her body slightly
Reymond immediately smiled faintly and turned his face away from Clara, he knew this was not a worthy thing, but for the first and last time, his, he would reveal all of his heart to the girl he had admired since a few years ago
"Since we first met at David's company's birthday party, three years ago, I've admired you. The girl is chatty and so agile yet so pretty in her light blue dress" Reymond said with sparkling eyes and thin smiling lips as she recalled their first meeting
Clara was still silent and could not believe hearing this, Reymond still remembered very well at that time, even he had forgotten her
"A very annoying girl but I like her a lot. The longer the liking the more ignorant the self, the earlier the sense of just admiring the longer it turns into a sense of love and wanting to have" indeed for whatever the phrase said Reymond made Clara silenced and could not say anything
"The feeling of love behind the friendship status that we live, I never dared to reveal it to you, because at the beginning I was not sure, let alone you are the young lady in the Barrent family, she said, it makes me not have more courage. Being around you and being friends with you is enough to make me happy"
"Even like her I wasn't meant for you. Not only is your status too high, now I also can't force my feelings even though status is no longer a barrier. You must know what" now Reymond's staring fixedly at Clara. Clara was immediately bowed with eyes that began to glaze over. He knows what the reason is
"There can't be two marriages in one family, I don't want to hurt her. He has just returned, and his happiness is only your brother." replied Reymond with a breath that felt stuck in his esophagus
"Then did you accept the match?" clara asked, after all this time she just fell silent
"Yes, this is the best option" Reymond replied with a bitter smile
Clara fell back down and bit her lips, she really wants to cry now
"I'm sorry Cla, I shouldn't express my feelings at this time. But really in this way I can be a little calm even though I know this is just a waste. I beg you not to hate me after this" Reymond told the downcast Clara, not wanting to look Reymond in the face
Clara just kept quiet and did not want to respond to Reymond's remarks, making the man feel guilty and erratic, it is not necessarily her to reveal her at this time, but all has already been done, and at least, her, he no longer held back feelings. Maybe Clara's gonna hate him after this, but what can I do? Reymond has resigned.
"I'm sorry Cla" said Reymond who began to move from his seat. She stood up and wanted to step away leaving Clara, but Clara holding her arm made Reymond instantly stop his steps and look at Clara in confusion, let alone seeing Clara crying now
"I love you too Rey, really love you" Clara said with her sobs. Reymond immediately froze in his place looking at Clara with a face of disbelief
"Clara, you" said Reymond restrained when suddenly Clara immediately hugged her tightly and cried in her arms
What did he hear was not wrong? His love is reciprocated? Did ya?
Reymond immediately smiled so bitterly and returned Clara's increasingly sobbing embrace with poignancy
"I've been waiting for this moment a long time, Rey has always been! But why are you just now saying it... huuuuuuuuuuu" Clara's so bitter sobs make Reymond also share her glasses, even her taste she also wants to cry like Clara now.
"Clara" muttered Reymond who hugged Clara tightly, even now she had also dropped her tears
"I've been holding him back, but you destroyed my defense, you're really evil!!!!" isak Clara again
"I'm sorry, sorry" Reymond replied
Reymond let go of Clara's embrace and cupped the girl's face. The face that was already full of tears, she gently wiped the tears on that sad face
"Why do you even return my feelings, let me love you Clara" Reymond told Clara, who snorted and smacked Reymond in the chest, hesitatingly wiping Reymond's wet face. The treatment he never did to anyone
"A stiff man like you doesn't deserve to cry" Clara sneered at Reymond, but her tears came out. He was really sad and could not be denied
"I'm not crying, it's just sweat, you're like a child crying like this" Reymond replied, rubbing Clara's face again
"I don't know if I should be happy or sad right now" murmured Clara who immediately lowered her head painfully. Reymond was her first love and why it had to be like this, no one knew if she liked this man long ago. People only know if he admires Cristian alone, yes because a little bit of his Cristian is similar to Reymond, stiff but still warm to his closest people, therefore he admires Cristian, so he admires Cristian, her ex-sister's husband.
"Clara, can I fight for you now?" reymond asked so seriously, making Clara immediately gasp and release her embrace from Reymond
"You're crazy Rey" Clara exclaimed instantly, she does love Reymond, but to force along is impossible. Although she doesn't know if her sister is coming back or not, she doesn't want to disappoint Kenzo and Alena. Moreover, Reymond who has received matchmaking with others
"Clara, at the beginning I was able to hold back my feelings and let my heart hurt itself, but how about you, you reciprocate my feelings, she said, and that means you feel the same pain as I do" Reymond replied
Clara again shed her tears and shook her head slowly, this indeed hurts. But what should they be?
"Did you make Alena sad? Do you have the heart to disappoint your daddy?" clara asked, looking at Reymond with a bitter look.
Reymond was immediately confused. Of course he could not bear it, he might be able to accept this pain himself, but what about Clara. Wouldn't it be better for Clara not to put her taste. If so, he doesn't know what to do. The initial feeling he wanted her to let go, but seeing Clara avenging him, Reymond became a dilemma.
"I do love you Rey, you were my first love. But what can I do??" lirih Clara was bowed bitterly making Reymond more poignant her heart
"Clara" said Reymond who grabbed Clara's hand and clasped her tightly
"I don't know if my sister can come back or not, but I really can't let her and Alena down. The wounds they get are much bigger than what we feel. I'm happy enough you're reciprocating my feelings. But to be happy over the suffering of others, I can't Rey" Clara said so bitterly
Reymond immediately pulled Clara in his arms and hugged her so tightly
"I'm sorry Clara, I'm sorry" said Reymond who returned to tears, really they had to give up for the sake of their loved ones. Painful indeed
"Don't do it, you're not wrong, our destiny is just to meet instead of having" said Clara who let go of her embrace and wiped Reymond's tears.
Reymond shook his head slowly and smiled faintly, his hands still on Clara's waist as Clara rubbed her wet face
"Then you don't cry either" Reymond replied, wiping away Clara's tears, nodding and smiling
"I never thought a Clara Barrent could fall in love with me" Reymond told Calra
"I'm a fool, once the love has to be broken" Clara replied
"You're going to get someone better than me" Reymond said
"I know, I hope you're happy with Joice too" Clara replied
They laughed and cried back to each other in memory of their very sad story
Reymond hugged Clara again tightly to coincide with the fireworks that exploded over the night sky
They both looked up at the sky with Reymond's hands still on Clara's waist and Clara's hands on Reymond's chest
"Are they celebrating our grief?" murmur Clara
"Expiritual" Reymond replied anyway.
They do not know just above the top of the building a pair of lovers are combining love without knowing what happened.
Reymod and Clara looked at each other with love, after all this time they only looked at each other as friends but tonight it all felt different. A passionate love, and a desire to have each other made them helpless
"For tonight alone, for the first and last time, may I spend time with you?" reymond and Clara asked immediately
"It's only a few minutes" replied Clara
"A few minutes as a lover?" tease Reymond makes Clara smile knotty
"Don't make me even more unable to forget you" Clara said
"At least before parting ways, I want to make sweet memories with you" Reymond replied
"What?" ask Clara
Without answering Reymond immediately put his face closer to Clara who looks frozen in her place. Especially when Reymond's face approached and tilted slightly to make Clara immediately close her eyes.
Her heart rumbled violently as Reymond's warm and tender touch of her lips touched her.******softly it was so cradling and loving, that Clara was lulled along. For the first and last time. Their love is only this limited, and these are their memories that they will never forget.
Feeling a few minutes as a couple under the light of fireworks is so beautiful, although not as beautiful as they feel today.
And without them knowing, since then two people behind the wall looked at them with a pushy and bitter look....
