Violen POV
"Call me if you need anything else," said Daren
"Okay, see you tomorrow, bye," I said, walking into the house. When I opened the door and stepped into the house, Lesley was already standing with her hands on her hips in front of me. I thought she must have been waiting for me all this time. I glanced at the wall clock; it was 11:30 pm.
"Where have you been with Daren?" asked Lesley
"Not from nowhere," I said, going to my room. I changed my clothes for warmer clothes.
"You were escorted home by Daren," said Lesley followed me into my room.
"Yeah. I just visited Daren's house."
"Okay, but why are you just leaving? I called your name, but you kept running away," protested Lesley. This must be a problem this afternoon when I just walked out of Lesley's cafe.
"I'm just not comfortable there," I said; I took the fruit salad from the refrigerator, I sat on the bed, and covered my feet with a blanket. Ahh, this way, I feel w
Violen POVAwkward, shock, and flutter mingled together. Even though I still feel that feeling even now, I'm home and not with Bryn anymore. Yeah, the feeling when Bryn confessed to me. An incident that I didn't expect at all. I think of Bryn as just a friend; there are no unique feelings I keep for him."You have to be honest with him," said Lesley. I leaned against Lesley's shoulder. I feel depressed for fear of feeling guilty. I was afraid to make Bryn sad because I had no intention of making Bryn my lover."What if Bryn is sad because I rejected his love," I said in a passive voice."It was a risk for him," Lesley replied."What if he hates me?""It's also a risk because you refused.""What if he stays away from me.""It's also a risk for you.""Why, Bryn? Why not, Daren.""Because the universe wanted this to happen.""Is this what it feels like to have a love statement from someone? I
Violen POVSince I rejected Bryn's love, it was harder for me to meet Bryn. Sometimes even though I run into Bryn, he keeps quiet and chooses to leave. He narrowly avoided me. The ridiculous things I've done with Bryn before are gone in seconds. Daren and Lesley have tried to calm my heart; they do various ways to comfort me.But that's not enough to calm my heart. I also decided to return to my apartment. And now I'm sitting in the garden while enjoying music with the handset in my ear. I remembered the novel that Daren gave me. When a woman is afraid to express her love for her own best friend, it is only because she is worried that her best friend will reject her and stay away from her.Now it's happening in my life. Bryn liked me, then I rejected his feelings, and now, Bryn doesn't want to be friends with me anymore. I admit I lost Bryn."So he can't act mature and respect your decision?" someone touched the top of my head. I was surp
Violen POVHave you ever felt the night was long? Either because you are waiting for something or can't stand because you have to be stuck with something."Okay, take care of yourself. Daliah already told me that you were with Noah," said Lesley when I called her to let me know where I was. I thought that just in case something happened to me, someone should know where I am."What? Daliah told you? ""Yeah, she came to my cafe this afternoon.""Oh, okay. Did you meet Daren today?""Yeah, this afternoon, Daren went to the café. So what?""I tried to contact him, but it looks like his telephone number is not active," I said sadly."Daren is fine. And you will be fine too. okay? ""Okay, bye," I hung up the phone.I took a breath and let it out slowly. Lesley didn't even sound worried at all about me. What if Noah kills me here, or he rapes me. What will the end of my life be like?"Vio
Violen POVSometimes in life, one has to experience rock bottom to understand that life is not always beautiful. I've finished reading the novel Daren gave me about a woman who likes her best friend. I was relieved that the book ended happily, but I was disappointed that in the end, this woman did not unite with her best friend because she was with another man. And that man is not her best friend."The ending is interesting. I can't guess the storyline," I said to Daren. As usual, Daren and I sat in Lesley's café. This semester's lectures have been completed. There are only a few students who are still completing their affairs at the campus. Autumn is almost over to welcome winter."You have told me all the contents of this novel. I'm not curious anymore now, "said Daren"Huff, lately, I feel bored," I complained."Is it because Bryn isn't there?" asked Daren"Hmmmmm, I don't know. I'm still awkward. Hey, I guess my l
Violen POV"he?" I said, dumbfounded when Lesley pointed at one of the men sitting in the café with his friends."Yeah. He and I are already dating. It was a wonderful night. He confessed his love for me in a very romantic way." Lesley's face brightened up when telling about the man"I think I've seen that man.""Of course you've seen it. His name is Joan. He is a dashing man who won my heart. Do you see this?" said Lesley showing me a necklace with pearls."It's wonderful," I said in amazement."Of course. He gave this to me while confessing his love for me. Joan is adorable, you know.""Okay, okay. I'm happy for you," I said happily."Sit down now on your desk. I'll serve you a red velvet cake. I'm so happy now," Lesley pushed me away. I also chose to sit at the table near the window.My eyes are still stealing glances at Joan. Well, the man was Lesley's new boyfriend. I know Lesley has be
Violen POVYou have felt lucky, even for a day. Nandin texted me to come with her hangout outside. At first, I refused, but Nandin begged me and made me melt.Nandin and I walked into the mall. I was shopping, like women in general. If I usually would shop for clothes, but Nandin made me try something new. She took me to a cosmetics shop."Do you see this? This lipstick is the newest type. Oh god I have to buy this, "said Nandin enthusiastically."Yeah. The colour looks good," I said praising Nandin when she put the lipstick on her hand."You also have to choose one." Nandin handed me the lipstick."Hmmm, I'm not sure this suits me"."Hey, look at this eyeshadow. the colour is so natural "Nandin moved to the eyeshadow shelf"Hahaha, you're very enthusiastic," I said, seeing Nandin's face, which looked happy."I can't help myself Violen. Even though I already have a large collection of makeup in my
Violen POVAfter half an hour I calmed down in a taxi. Luckily the taxi driver understood my situation. He even drove me home and treated me kindly."Thank you", I said to the taxi driver. The taxi driver smiled at me and walked away. I let out a heavy sigh. Walked languidly into my apartment"Hey", I said, placing Lesley's fried chicken in front of her, shes's playing with her cellphone."Hey, ahh thanks Sweety", Lesley told me. While I threw my body roughly onto the mattress"What is wrong with you?" Lesley asked me."Nothing", I said, closing my eyes with my arm."Don't lie to me. I saw your eyes swollen" Lesley pulled my arm to see my face."I tell you, I'm fine", I said"not. Show me that you're okay," said Lesley, pulling my arm away from my face even harder. I also relented and let Lesley see me."Oh my God, did you cry earlier?" asked Lesley, surprised to see my eyes. I got up and changed my position to si
Violen POVI wanted to run away from Noah, without thinking I just got out of Noah's office and walked in no direction. Where should I go? While I don't know the way and the environment around here. In a hurry, I just walked into a room in Noah's house.The room was a room with a king-sized bed—classic decoration with all the furniture colours black mixed with red. Photos of Noah of various sizes hung on each wall. I locked the room without thinking. That's all I did to avoid feeling awkward from Noah."Violen, I know you're inside", said Daliah knocking on the door. I, who was leaning in front of the door, was shocked."I'm sorry", I said"It is okay. I know how you feel. But if you are like this, it seems Mr Noah mistreats you. ""Daliah, I don't know what else to do. I'm awkward. I want to get out of here. Can you take me back home? "I begged"Are you sure you don't want to finish the conversation with Mr Noa
