Love Is Rain
Chapter 8. Must end ....

As usual, Keenan invites Beverly to leave together for school.

"Have you had breakfast?" beverly asked when Keenan picked her up.

"Not ..." muttered Keenan.

"Tomorrow to get used to breakfast before leaving school. You'll be sick."

"There are you who always prepare breakfast for me."

"What if we can't be together anymore."

"Why do you say that, Bie. I'm sure you're my soul mate." Keenan whispered it in Beverly's ear.

"We don't know what's going to happen tomorrow."

"Bie, why are you saying something like we're going our separate ways."

"I got breakfast first, I made Aceh fried noodles earlier." Beverly went into the parlor. Her tears can no longer be blocked. With tears he picked up a plate of fried noodles for Keenan.

Mother who took the water to drink saw Beverly who tried to wipe her tears.

"Why, son." Mother said by patting Bie's shoulder slowly.

"Mother ...."

"Why cry."

"No idea, Mother. Today I am sad."

"Keenan is waiting for you."

"Yes, Mother. I brought you some breakfast for Keenan first."

"Yes, please."

Beverly brought a plate of fried noodles and a glass of warm tea for Keenan.

"Breakfast first. There's still plenty of time. We're not going to be late" Beverly said.

Keenan ate Beverly's fried noodles voraciously. Bie is looking without a blink.

This may be the last time you had breakfast here. I'm not sure you'll still be here after I cut off our relationship. I'm sorry Keenan. I had to make this decision. The friendship between me and Cath was more my priority.

After breakfast Keenan and Beverly left for school. On the way to school Beverly held tightness in her chest as it held back her cries.

"Keen, after school we go to the cafe. There's something I want to say."

"Well, you'll have to say with Catherine. The child is always disturbing our relationship. I feel like saying that you and I are dating. Give both blind time."

"Keen, actually Catherine's a very nice girl. Just a little spoiled. Understandably he was just a child in the family puppet and too pampered both parents."

"I don't like spoiled girls. I like independent girls like you."

"If you're close, you'll love Catherine. She's a very considerate girl."

"I just like you." Keenan clasped Bie's hand and kissed him.

The lessons are almost done by the time they get to school. Beverly, Keenan, Dimas and Catherine followed the lessons as usual.

Back at school, Catherine wants to take Beverly, but she refuses and says she will go with Keenan.

"What you want to say about my feelings to Keenan" whispered Cath.

"Yes, I went home with Keenan. You're the same Dimas."

"Well, I hope Keenan has the same feeling." Catherine said with a fluffy smile.

Keenan who was waiting near his car looked agitated. She was afraid that Catherine would force Beverly to come with her.

Seeing Beverly walking towards him, Keenan just smiled.

He drove his car to one of the cafes closest to the school.

Beverly and Keenan chose to sit by the window. The sky was getting dark and the rain was coming down.

After their order came, Beverly began to open her voice.

"Keen" she called out the name Keenan.

Keenan glanced at Bie and raised his eyebrows as a sign of the answer to Bie's call, as Keenan was drinking water at the time.

"We should just end our relationship" said Bie slowly.

Hearing the words of Bie makes Keenan who is drinking so spit water from his mouth.

"What are you talking about, Bie. Not funny joke." protest Keenan keeps his drinking water on his desk and clasps Bie's shoulders hard.

"I'm not kidding, Keen. I want us to end this relationship. We should be just as friendly as we used to be." replied Bie staring at the nanar Keenan eyeball, then release Keenan's hand from his shoulder. "Sorry,"

"Why?" asked Keenan softly by looking at Bie inside.

Bie was speechless, he couldn't say what the opposite meant, to Keena.

"Give me one reason! We're together and you decided it unilaterally! For no apparent reason? This is tantamount to you being selfish, Bie." Keenan continued.

"We can't be together, because Catherine also has feelings of love for you" replied Bie.

Seeing that Keenan grabbed Bie's chin and raised that sad face to look at him seriously.

"So what does this have to do with me. Catherine loves me, but why do you want us to break up?" keenan asked in a soft but piercing voice, making Bie's heart vibrate because of it.

Bie fell silent making Keenan impatient to hear an answer from him.

"Bie Wag!" snapped Keenan which made Bie jerk.

"Because Cath's my best friend, I can't possibly get her hurt, when she accepts the fact that we're lovers? Do I have to lose my best friend just because of my own wishes? You think I'm selfish? Am I being selfish? So what was the worst of it when I was in a relationship with a person my own best friend liked? Tell Keen why I should choose you over my best friend when I know that I'm caught in the dilemma myself." cried Bie.

"Keep what you consider me. Did I mean nothing to you. So that you can easily break our relationship," Keenan continued, making Bie turn his face away.

"You won't understand Keen" said Bie.

"What do I not understand now other than, your one-sided decision?" tanya Keenan grabbed Bie's hand.

"Catherine loves you so much, Keen. He asked me to say this. He really hopes you can return his love, but what do I do? I betrayed his trust with this relationship of ours? Sometimes love does not have to have each other because there are times when there must be sacrifices."

"And you need to know Bie! Is letting go of someone you love for someone else the same as committing suicide? This decision of yours does not change my attitude to my feelings, so what do you expect from our separation?" Keenan paused his words.

"I just love you, Bie." Keenan continued.

"Try to understand my current position, Keen. I want you to try to accept Cath. It won't be hard for you to love Cath. She's a good girl."

" So you want me to sacrifice for you, and you sacrifice for her. Is this fair?"

"The world isn't fair, so get used to it." Final Bie stands up from his seat and will leave Keenan there.

Before Bie actually left, Keenan said, "Imagine if you get hit by a stone. Sick, right? That's how my heart hurts right now, because of my love you throw around to other people. There can be no deep disappointment without deep love, Bie."

Keenan stood beside Bie who had first stood up.

"It hurts so much when the person who made you feel special yesterday, it turns out to make you feel so unwanted today."

After saying that Keenan left the cafe without looking at Beverly again.
