Love Is Rain
Chapter 21. I hope this is all a dream.

After an illicit relationship, Bie and Keenan fall asleep.

As morning approached, the sunlight woke up Bie. He rubbed his eyes. His head feels dizzy.

Beverly looked to the side, looking Keenan who was sleeping with his innocent body. Beverly opened the blanket that covered her body and was increasingly shocked to see her innocent body.

"Wake Keenan up, what are you doing to me" Beverly said, shaking Keenan's body.

Keenan slowly opened his eyes and like Beverly he was also shocked to realize that they were in one room together.

"What have we done, Keenan. I'm afraid, " said Beverly in her tears.

"I'm sorry, Bie."

"Why this should happen. I've got to do it, Keen."

Keenan takes Beverly into his arms and tries to calm the woman he loves so much.

"I will take responsibility" Keenan said.

"What should I tell Catherine if she finds out about this."

"Maybe it's time to be honest."

Beverly let go of Keenan's embrace and stood up by wrapping the blanket around her body. He felt a pain in the core of his body.

"Forget it all. It's not all your fault, I don't know why I wanted to do this with you last night. I hope this doesn't hurt me or you. I can't betray my best friend."

Beverly took her clothes to the bathroom. After getting dressed, he left Keenan in the room alone without saying a word.

Keenan who realized immediately took his clothes and chased after Bie. As Bie is about to get on the bus, he pulls Bie's hand. Keenan asked the driver to keep going.

"We need to talk, Bie."

"I told you. There's nothing to talk about. Let's just say it never happened. I wish all this was just a dream."

"But it's not a small matter, Bie."

"If you know it's no small matter why did you set me up? You deliberately avenged everything I ever did by ruining my life."

"I never set you up, Bie."

"Don't pretend Keen. There must be something in the water you gave me. After drinking the water you gave me, I felt something different in my body." Bie spoke as his tears fell down his cheeks.

"I swear to Bie. I don't know shit. I also feel strange about the changes in my body."

"Now you are satisfied. You've ruined my life, Keen." Bie hits Keen's chest repeatedly. Keenan grabbed Bie's hand and carried it into his arms.

"Bie, I love you. There's no way I'm ruining the life of someone I love.This is just a mistake."

"You said this was a mistake. But the cruelest truth is, it seems like this mistake is mine, for trusting you. Supposedly, never make me love you until you finally let me down."

"Bie don't ever say that. Those words were so cruel it sounded."

"Before I knew you, I had never felt this much pain. Just this time I realized that the same one person could hurt me twice, with a mistake I couldn't forgive."

"Bie, I'll take responsibility. I'll tell my parents everything."

"What if your parents can't accept."

"I can coerce and threaten them into accepting all my decisions."

"Bie, tell me what I have to do for you to forgive me."

"Nothing, just I ask you never to come near me again. Assume we never knew."

"If I'm not holding you back right now doesn't mean I don't love you anymore. It's just that, sometimes it's better to let go than to force it together.Deciding to leave can be one reason for our common good. If I decide to keep you in this heart, I'm afraid it causes pain, tightness that makes each other uncomfortable. So that the desire for you to go away from me I will never hold back again. Hope you are happy with this decision. I pray that wherever you are, God will always protect you."

Keenan let go of his embrace after pecking at Bie's head.

Bie walked towards the bus stop and came home with tears that kept wetting his cheeks.

When he arrived at the Mother's home, he immediately railed against Bie with questions. Bie reasoned if all the organizers asked to stay overnight.

Until graduation, Keenan and Bie never met again. Without Bie knowing his family had enrolled Keenan to study abroad.

................

One month passed

It's been a week since Bie felt something else on his body. He often dizzy and felt nauseous.

Like this morning, when Bie made breakfast fried rice for the sisters in the home, his stomach felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.

Bie ran to the bathroom and vomited all of his stomach contents. Mother who heard the sound of people vomiting towards the bathroom.

"Bie, are you inside?" said Mother.

"Yes, Mother," said Bie quietly.

"What's wrong with you, son?"

Bie washed his mouth and face before opening the bathroom door.

"What's wrong with you, son?" Back mother asked.

"Maybe catch a cold, Mother."

"Let's Mother crackle later."

"No need for Mother. It will also be lost."

"If so, you rest. Let Mommy continue cooking?"

"What a Mother. Let me finish first, after that I rest."

"Rest, you'll have to go to college, right? Make a re-list, if you don't come, your scholarship can be revoked."

"Alright, Mother. Sorry to be such a hassle, Mother."

"Udah, don't be shy."

Bie went into the room and took the eucalyptus oil, he drifted all over his body and laid down trying to fall asleep.

Seriate.
