RICH MAN
PRETEND

"Why are you asking like that?"

"I was just curious,"

The man nodded and released the Star's hand. The girl nodded slowly and understood what had just happened.

"Star, there are many things that are still a consideration between me and you. If I'm being honest right now, will you stay by my side?"

the girl shook her head not understanding what Rey said. He was silent at Reynand's words just now.

"How have you felt all along with me, Star?" reynand's question was enough to shock him and was about to escape from it all. The star stood up from his seat. Rey was still staring towards the front and the Star felt tremendous pain with such a question. Should he be honest or wait for Rey to reveal it all?

"Rey you want me to make you a drink? You like hot chocolate, right? You wait here yeah, I'll make it now!"

Just now the Star stepped a few meters away from the man. "If we just keep dodging, things will get messy, right?"

The star stopped just like that and turned to look at Reynand who was still not looking at him at all. He pretended to clean his used drinking cup and did all sorts of activities to avoid it all. That's right what Jenny said at the time. That the two of them too often shy away from the reality.

"If you avoid again, then the answer is the same you, Star. You ask what are we? Then every time I want to ask you seriously how you feel too, you just avoid me, what is the attitude that you have to show and make me confused with myself? Sometimes I want to be 'us' enough I'm just as you know. Let others think we are nothing. I just want to make sure that feeling, whether it's just me who's crazy or not. But if you act like this, isn't that the way losers always pretend to be strong? You said you didn't like to see me with the other stars. Just like I feel and do not like if you are the same as others, but if you yourself can not ascertain your own feelings, how will it be the same me? Isn't clapping one hand tiring, because it's impenetrable and it hurts me a lot,"

"Rey? I-"

"I'll go to the room first. Go to sleep, don't think about what I said. Now I understand, so I do not need to hope and act like a fool who has been given hope all this time. I've been trying to convince you, and then you're trying to avoid. What does it mean if I'm the only one fighting, while you still want to go and avoid this reality,"

The man got out of his seat and left the Star alone. Still with a standing position holding the used cup of his drink earlier. The star smiled bitterly in his heart he wanted to cry because Rey left him just like that with a speech that made his heart so sore. It was as if goodbye could no longer be repeated.

The star slowly entered the room. Previously he washed the former drink and then sat on the edge of the bed. There are four different beds. The stars sat by the window, leaving the window open and the night breeze into their rooms.

"You know everything, Jenny. So there's nothing else I can avoid from you,"

"All this is you wrong Star. Rey's been trying to express her feelings, but you're the one who dodged,"

'If I say I love you, is it not so outrageous? If in the end I will leave you alone and ask you we will remain. I believe in myself that we cannot be together. Don't tell me that the sick are just you. I just don't want you to get hurt by what happens next. I'm gone, I might not be back. If I say about that feeling, then go. Didn't I hurt you? Sometimes a person is silent and avoids not because he does not love. But his heart was already too sick to survive just to hurt others. And I don't want that to happen to you'

The star said so inwardly while exhaling a rough breath many times. Jenny just didn't understand about her leaving later after this. He let everyone assume that they were doing well without having to say goodbye as a separator to their short story.

"Gue knew Rey liked you a long time ago, Star. And it's not easy for him to like people. Lo knows she has a promise with her own parents that she doesn't want to date and abuse her parents in a way that hurts women. Means all this time he chose to fall in love with you because he was sure that you were the only woman he loved,"

The girl turned around and remained silent. His heart hurt so much from what Jenny said. What if he left Rey when they had just grown their own feelings in the chest. Moreover, less than a month he will go far and leave Rey along with other friends.

"I'm..."

"Can't lie to me, Star. All of that is clearly visible from your eyes, if you also love the same, Rey. Lo said no after this, I will not believe because you can not lie with me. It doesn't mean I can't be lied to. But because this looks so clear from the look on your face about you love him, from your actions so far. Of all the evasive ways, I've watched you for a long time. Now I ask you one thing, you know Rista plain and never talk about guys, right?"

The star nodded slowly. Because all this time Rista never talked about the man in front of the two of them.

"Therefore, not all must be told to know it all. Lo secretly this doesn't mean you're tougher than you look, I love Fendi. That's because he fought for me. And now you see, Rey! He fought also for you, do you not think also if all this time he was doing it all because of lo!"

The star closed the bedroom window and the bed tilted her body and remained facing Jenny. "Then, what else do I do, Jenny?"

"Never lie to yourself, Star! You can lie to me the way you say no love the same, Rey! But never lie to yourself in a way that looks okay. What does it mean to be okay if it's a pretend thing?"
