He, the Unacknowledged
52 Begging
"Then, Vana was chasing me. The people of—including the two of us— said that he was stupid and shameless, already rejected, but still begging for love. Now, we're alone, like that. I begged him, and you begged me. I want to laugh, but I want to cry."
Vana shed her tears. Either because of what she cried, because of Ken's rejection, or because of the words of the man who said they were like beggars of love.
Begging to someone they used to think was a beggar!
In the end, God turns a person's heart upside down.
"Please don't make me even more of a mean man, Vara. I'm not a good man, I'm far from perfect. Achieve your own happiness, but not with me."
Elsewhere
Rissa, Nio and Marco are together. Rissa accidentally met the two of them at the mall and is currently at the dining venue.
"I hope Vara and Ken can get back together" Rissa said.
"I don't think Ken would choose Khea" Marco said.
"Ck, the three of us are their best friends. We should support and pray for them so that they can get back together. Poor Vara, dong. It's been years of waiting and faithfulness, but it's been dumped. Where else, try, a woman like Vara."
"That's the definition of keeping people's soul mates" Marco said.
"That's the definition of not a soul mate. Want to be forced like anything, if not a soul mate, yes will not be together. After all, it's better to be hurt now, than to be married and divorced" Nio commented.
Rissa clucked in annoyance, as she felt that no one supported her.
"You guys, it's usually just hurting women and giving false hope."
"Well, why are we being blamed?"
"What if this happens to your sister?"
"Just relax, we don't have any sisters" Marco replied lightly.
"Ish, if this happens to your daughters, how about it?"
"I believe in the phrase, 'What you plant, that's what you'll reap.' So, make this a lesson for all of us" replied Nio.
"After all, why are you so supportive of Ken and Vara?"
"Why ask? Of course because Vara is my best friend. Vara's always been nice to me, I love her like a brother."
"Vana is also Vara's sister, meaning you have to love her like a sister."
"But, amit-amit."
"Why hate Vana so much?"
"Actually not hate, but it does not like, because of its nature. I'm the laziest of spoiled and selfish women."
"The vana is not spoiled. He's independent and ...."
"First, he was very spoiled. I love to disturb Ken and Vara's relationship. I imagined how it would be if I became Vara, would eat liver every day. Vana also talks rough."
Nio let out a heavy breath. Rissa was in the front position to defend Vara with Ken, after that Marco. But Marco, now, has changed. Marco will support Ken and Vana, probably also because there is Ara.
"Yes already, yuk."
They left the place to eat. Rissa who was in the middle of Nio and Marco, held the arms of the two men. Marco immediately released Ara's embrace, as well as Nio's.
"What's wrong, anyway?"
"It could be bad if Ara saw this, or someone reported it to her. I haven't turned him back, don't even add to the problem" Marco replied.
"If I don't have to explain anything, right? Do not let there be news later that I was taken along with a woman. I don't like being on the news for gossip, not for achievement."
"Here, you two are complicated. Want you to find another woman, Co, than the same woman judes! And you Nio, you used to be also often gossiped with women, so do not be more!"
Nio just shut up. He was rumored to have had a special relationship with Khea several times.
