Denathan Barbarians (Complete)
REPUDIATION

Desi knocked on Denathan's room door saying, "Son, there's Natan. He said he'd take you for a walk."

Denathan in the room did not speak to his mother. The girl is currently curled up on the bed while shedding tears while remembering her childhood with Natan.

Long waiting for an answer from his son, Desi said again, "Denathan. What are you doing inside? Natan is waiting for you in the living room."

Denathan finally replied, "Tell Nathan to go home, Ma. I'm going to sleep!"

Desi was shocked by her son's answer. Since when is Denathan like that? Usually the child will be immediately excited if Natan comes to his house.

"Why, Son? You are not usually like that. Nathan bring souvenirs for you! Pity Natan if you do not meet with you," said Desi.

"Wild, Ma! I want to be alone. Let it be for Mama" cried Denathan exasperatedly.

"Denathan, can't. That's special for you. Come on, meet Natan. Poor Natan has been waiting for you for a long time. You guys, right, already know her very well" Desi said, then forcibly opened her son's bedroom door. The door was wide open too.

Denathan was surprised to see his mother open the door just like that without his permission. "Well, please open the door!"

"Mama must make you meet Natan. Let's go see Natan, don't let your best friend down" Desi said, forcing her son to meet Natan.

"Natan is not my best friend, Ma. He's just a regular friend!" reply Denathan without a second thought. Now Denathan promised himself not to regard Nathan as his best friend. Maybe if he doesn't change his mind.

Instantly his son's speech made Desi surprised instead of playing. Denathan and Natan have known each other since childhood and have even been close friends. Then why suddenly his son was like trying to get away from Nathan. Desi is convinced, Denathan is having a problem with Natan. Every friendship does not escape problems.

Desi smiled faintly then asked in a soft tone, "You're having trouble with Natan huh? That's why you're like this. If there is a problem tell Mama, finish it well. Don't be like this. Poor thing, if you're not close anymore. You, right, have been close friends with Natan since childhood."

"I don't have a problem with Nathan. Indeed Natan is not my friend," Denathan replied casually and then returned to lay down his body.

Desi seemed to have to be patient in dealing with her son's attitude. "Denathan, horrifying Mama. Nathan is your closest friend. Mama's the witness that you've been friends with Natan since you were a baby. Mama once took you to the house of Om Sultan and Aunt Narulita. Aunt Narulita used to be a close friend of Mama's. But since Mama got married, Mama rarely met with Aunt Narulita. Sometimes Mama misses him. Until Mama cry-nangis to meet Mama's best friend. Splitting up with friends is hard, son."

Denathan closed his eyes as if he did not care about his mother's words, even though in his mind the girl was thinking about her mother's words that had a point.

Desi exhaled a long breath when she found out that her son was ignoring her. Maybe he should obey his son's will. He's gonna send Nathan home.

"Yes, if you don't want to see Natan, Mama has to tell him to go home" said Desi.

Hearing his mother's words, Denathan opened his eyes and immediately replied. "Wait a minute, Ma."

Desi looked at his son's face, "Why?"

"I changed my mind. I want to see Natan, but Natan has to come to my room."

Desi was confused, "Why is that? No boys should be alone girls in the room, let alone you guys are not married."

Denathan replied, "It's okay, Ma. I will not be the same as Nathan. Just want to talk to each other. If Natan wants to do me a favor, I'll beat Natan up!"

"Yes, wait a minute." Desi obeyed his son's will. Then he exited the room, heading to the living room to call Natan.

Not long after that Natan came to Denathan's room alone. Desi did not join Natan, because Denathan said he only wanted to speak with Natan.

"Denathan, I know you're still mad at me about what happened at school. I'm sorry about that" said Natan, who had just entered Denathan's room.

Denathan sat in the middle of the bed and called for Nathan to come closer, "Lo come here. I want to talk to you."

Nathan approached Denathan. The man was standing by the bed. "What are you talking about?"

"Lo sat there." Denathan pointed to the chair that was in front of the study table.

Nathan said he sat in that chair. His right hand brought something for Denathan. I don't know what it is. Later Nathan will give it to Denathan.

Denathan took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly, he should be ready to say it at length.

"So, I'd like to talk. If you want to stay in the same position as me, you should never love me. Because I don't want our friendship to be damaged because one of us keeps the love. I love you as a friend, nothing more. I pay attention as a friend. And if you still love me, I'm forced to stay away from you."

Nathan nodded, "Yes I remember that."

Denathan continued, "Well, Thalita liked you a long time ago. I want you to express the same feelings Thalita. I feel sorry for Thalita. I've been like you for years, but he doesn't dare to say the same to you."

"Gue knew about it," replied Natan slightly lowered his head.

"Continue?" Denathan asked.

"But I don't seem to fit him well. I fit in the same way, Den." Nathan answered as he thought.

Denathan replied casually, "Not so, Nat. You haven't tried, you don't say anything less than suitable. Try to express the feelings to Thalita so that Thalita is also cool."

"But-." Nathan's words were cut off.

"There's no buts. Try it first, do not immediately say it does not fit. You may not like Thalita at first, but for a long time I was sure you would like her."

****

Juna took a long breath. He should be ready to express his feelings to Thalita. The girl that Juna had always liked, but only this time she got a chance to express her feelings.

"What are you talking about, Jun?" thalita asked because Juna did not speak.

They are both in the cafe. Juna had reserved a special room just for the two of them. So that Juna can be calmer and not nervous when expressing feelings.

"Okay, I'd like to talk. Actually all this time, I liked you the same. I love you, Thalita. I've loved it since we were in tenth grade. At that time I did not dare to express my feelings the same. And now I just talked to you about this," said Juna honestly. The man's heart was pounding along with his happy heart. She also fears that Thalita will reject her love.

Thalita fell silent at the expression of Juna's heart feeling. He was less trusting and not expecting. It turned out that Juna had liked her for a long time but she was completely unaware of it. Thalita's heart became worried. He doesn't know how to answer. On the other hand Thalita liked Nathan. It had been five years that Thalita had liked Nathan but until now she had not dared to express her feelings to Natan. It was precisely now Juna who expressed feelings to him. Then how should Thalita? He was so worried and confused.

"How's Thalita? You received my love? I promise you, I'll take care of you. I will always be by your side. I will not hurt you. Because I really like you. Really," said Juna seriously and sincerely from his heart.

Thalita remained silent. Somehow he must be now. In his heart he could not make Juna disappointed. But his innermost heart held a love for Nathan. Maybe Thalita will not be confused to make a choice if she can see the sincerity in Juna's heart. If Juna does not sincerely love him or just like him, then Thalita will reject him, but if Juna really loves him, he will receive love from Juna even though he has to give up Natan. The world of love is complicated.

"Gue's confused, Jun." Thalita finally answered.

Juna frowned then asked, "Why are you confused? Don't confuse. I really love you, Thal."

"It's not so, but I'm worried." Thalita looks to be glancing in the other direction, which indicates she is confused.

"Why?" Juna asked softly.

"Gue thought about it first. If I was ready, I'd say the same, you" he replied. Thalita actually wanted to refuse immediately, but she did not have the heart to make Juna disappointed.

"You're being honest with me now, don't delay. Waiting for certainty hurts, Thal," Juna said. He did not want Thalita to delay his definitive answer.

"But I-."

"Thalita mending you now honest with me. I'm ready to hear your decision." Juna urged Thalita to immediately answer his statement.

Finally inevitably Thalita spoke honestly according to his heart. "I'm sorry, Juni. I really don't like it the same. I have no intention of going out, either."

Jeder. Juna's heart felt pounding faster. His heart was in pain, very disappointed. His conjecture at the beginning was very true, Thalita would definitely reject his love. If you know this, Juna will not express his feelings to Thalita. But at least there is a little— very little relief because it has expressed feelings to the girl even though it was finally rejected.

Juna smiled. The disappointed smile he displayed at this moment. He answered calmly even though his heart was hurting. "That's okay, you rejected me. What matters is that you answer honestly."

"I'm sorry Jun. I-i."

Juna interrupted Thalita, "No need to apologize. You're not wrong."

Thalita lowered her head, feeling guilty and unkind to Juna. The guy did love it, but unfortunately his heart refused because it held a love for Natan.

"I'd rather be disappointed at the beginning than wait for certainty that at the ends, you finally stay rejected."
