I thought Love was a Lie
CHAPTER 67. PHRASES
"Naura, I want to tell you something" Bayu said. I was so nervous to express that feeling. However, he also could not stem her any longer.
"What, Brother?" Naura asked as she squinted her eyes. Naura felt something a little different with Bayu tonight. Usually the man always did nosy to her. However, tonight Bayu looks very serious, there is no look of ignorance that always makes Naura pout.
Bayu's hand held Naura's hand. And Naura was surprised by Bayu's action and immediately withdrew her hand.
Not wanting to procrastinate again, Bayu stood up from her seat and rested before Naura, then again grabbed her little girl's two hands.
While Naura could only be dumbfounded by what was happening at the moment. His mouth was slightly open, yet speechless.
"Naura, I don't know when these feelings exist. But, I can't lie to myself that I've fallen in love with my sister's friend, "His eyes looked at Naura's unblinking eyes staring at her.
It was Naura who seemed to be thinking and pervading what she had just heard. Is this an expression of love for her? Ah no, Naura thinks she's misheard at the moment, or maybe she's hallucinating. It is impossible for a handsome and well-established man like Bayu to say love to her who is only a widow.
Slowly Naura danced both her hands from Bayu's grasp, then pulled the two corners of her lips into a smile.
Seeing Naura smiling Bayu also smiled. He thought Naura would accept his expression of feelings.
"Is Brother Bayu now practicing expressing love to a woman? Ok well I'll help Brother. Let's just say that I'm the woman that Kak Bayu will shoot later." kekeh Naura.
Hearing Naura's words, that fluffy smile slowly faded away. It turns out Naura thinks she's just training.
"Naura, I'm not practicing or joking. I'm serious, I'm expressing love and it's for you" Bayu said. His feelings are getting more and more uncertain. Although he had previously strengthened his heart about the possibility that would happen, but now his heart began to worry about Naura who could have rejected it.
"Sister, what did Sis Bayu say? My brother is joking, right?'' Naura pulled her hand again from Bayu's grasp, then moved from her seat and looked at Bayu with a question.
Naura looked back at Bayu's eyes, a few moments later Naura turned her face. Well, Naura didn't find any lies there. However, this shouldn't have happened. He is totally inappropriate for a man like Bayu. Bayu should have gotten a much better woman than him.
"Naura, I know this is ridiculous. But, this is the reality, I myself do not understand why this feeling could be directed at you. Naura, am I wrong to fall in love with you?" bayu's gaze turned soft. However, his net was still staring right in both of his little girl's eyes.
"Love is never wrong, sister. However, you are wrong to love a woman like me. There are still many women out there who are much better and more deserving of Kak bayu." after a moment of silence, Naura revealed what became her unrest.
"Again, I've only been divorced for a month, there's no way I'm easily in a relationship again after the failure I've been through. And one thing that Sis Bayu must remember! I'm a widow, totally inappropriate for a man like Bayu's sister."
"Naura, I don't care at all about your status. Okay, maybe you're still traumatized by your domestic failure, but I can help you to eliminate that trauma. And I also promise to love you sincerely, unlike her who foolishly dumped you." Bayu confidently revealed everything in her heart.
"Thank you for the goodwill, Brother Bayu. But, I'm sorry, sister, I'm not ready to get back into a relationship." after saying that Naura turned her back on her body about to leave the room. However, his steps came to a halt due to Bayu holding his wrist.
"Don't go, you haven't eaten. Okay all right, I'm not going to talk about that anymore. But as long as you know Naura, I'll wait until whenever you'll be ready." Bayu smiled and brought Naura to sit in her place, as well as herself.
If tonight he fails to get his love, at least the food he has cooked lovingly does not end up in vain in the trash.
"Eat, I'm cooking this all for you. Think of it as a celebration of the smooth construction of the cafe, so far everything is going well and it's all for your hard work." The lady smiled again. A smile that is very sweet, but not as sweet as the love he has longed for.
Naura also began to spoon food into her plate, as well as Bayu. The two began to eat in silence. However, occasionally glancing at each other.
I don't know what's on Naura and Bayu's mind right now. Both of them seem to be enjoying their food.
