Renan drives his car even though he knows Miranda is chasing him. Yeah, Renan did that on purpose. Not to keep the feelings of Ell that had been filling his heart. However, he did not want Miranda to get into his trouble.
Renan knows Ell's nature. He also knows what their friendship is. Not wanting Miranda to get hurt, trying to get away from Ell without having to offend her ex-boyfriend.
The car continued to drive until it reached Ell's apartment. Renan stopped the car. However, the passenger refused to get off.
“It has arrived,” said Renan.
“You've found my replacement, haven't you?” cecar Ell's.
“No,” replied Renan briefly.
Ell smiled cynically. “I've read your news,”.
There was no surprise on Renan's face. Sooner or later his relationship with Miranda will surely reach Ell's ears. Yes, although Miranda is not an international artist and news of her relationship with Miranda only exists domestically. However, it is not difficult to get news.
“He's not my girlfriend. I was just helping her to be her pretended lover. That girl is fighting with my cousin. However, everything has been resolved,” explained Renan. Ell knows about Carnations because Renan often talks about it so that Ell does not get jealous.
Ell just nodded. “You will be here often?”
“I can't promise. Carnations need me. He still needs guidance. I think we will rarely meet,” explained Renan.
Maybe ... We won't see each other again.
“Do you really want to end our relationship?” ask Ell.
“Ya,” Renan replied briefly.
Ell just let out a slow breath. Renan's decision is unanimous. He knew Renan wasn't the one to change his mind. “Can I have a farewell kiss?”
...---------------...
Miranda continued walking until she did not know the direction of the destination. He can only come to Renan's apartment. I hope that man comes home soon. Stand right at the door of the apartment in despair. However, he still wished for Renan's arrival even though the possibility was small.
Tears dripped from the artist's netra. Not acting, the tears that escaped her beautiful eyes rolled just like that. He did see Renan in the car. However, he also saw the man sitting beside the wheel.
Miranda started to hit her chest from tightness. Never hurt this much because of love. He began to fall and could only sit on the floor with tears in his eyes.
Miranda's cry couldn't stop time. The short hour hand was already pointing towards the two. However, the man who was waiting for him did not come.
Taps! Taps! Taps! The typical step pace of leather pantofel shoes is getting closer to Miranda.
"Wake up!"
Miranda started to raise her head. Rubbing the eyes to ensure vision. "You're home yet?"
"It's already night. Go home," said Renan.
Miranda shakes. "I want to be here. There are no flights" he said in a stifled voice.
Renan just breathed in slowly. "I'll book a hotel for you. There'll be a driver to drive you, too."
Miranda kept shaking. He was asked to leave and was escorted by a driver while Renan had ushered another man. "Let me here until tomorrow" he said.
Renan just exhaled. "Come in."
Miranda started to rise. However, crouching for too long made him unable to stand steady, he almost fell down and tried to hold the door.
Renan swiftly grabbed Miranda's arm. He asked the artist to enter the apartment. "Sit down first. I'll get you a drink."
Miranda just nodded small. He just lowered his head. Chasing a man to drop his pride. Waiting like a fool in front of the apartment of the man he likes.
Renan was busy in the kitchen making tea. He glanced at Miranda from afar. Before long, he brought two cups of tea and served in front of Miranda.
Miranda grabbed the cup and started sipping the warm tea. "Thank you."
They just stay in the living room. No one starts talking. Miranda just opened her mouth and clenched again. Wanted to ask about the man with Renan. However, he was afraid of the words that Renan would say.
Renan looked at Miranda who hesitated to speak. "Please stop all this. Live well."
"Do you live well?" ask Miranda. His eyes still had the remains of tears.
"I'm trying to live well" Renan said.
"Wouldn't it be better for us to be better together?"
"Miranda, you and I are different. You deserve to be happy with another man."
"Aren't you able to bring me happiness?"
Renan just smiled. "You know who I am. I won't be able to make you happy."
Miranda shook her head. "I'm sure we can be happy together."
"There are things that seem simple. But it turns out it's very complex. You can't understand people like us" said Renan, bowing his head. "No one can accept me. Don't waste your time on someone like me. I won't be able to be who you want to be." Yeah, a dashing guy who's gonna protect his woman. Renan hesitated to do it. Within him, there were still dark remnants of his past.
Tears come out in ignorance. How powerful Miranda was trying to hold him back from escaping the eyes. However, it still flows like a broken faucet.
"There's nothing difficult as long as you have faith!" isak Miranda's.
"Nobody can possibly accept a people like me. I'm no ordinary man who can love a woman like you. I don't deserve you,” Renan said not daring to look at Miranda.
Miranda's brain was tired of thinking about everything. He's fed up with Renan always saying about race.
"What are you really like? What kind of people are you? You are no ordinary man because you can steal my heart. Maybe you believe you can't change everything. However, I will attract you to enter my world!" Miranda.
"Miranda," said Renan in despair. "Sorry" he lowered his head.
I'm afraid I'll hurt your heart for not being able to make you happy.
What happened to him, even though it was closed. However, all possibilities can happen. He did not want Miranda to be booed because of the irregularities he had done.
“I love you!” Miranda. “Is there not the slightest feeling for me?” continued. Declaring love first, Miranda humbles herself in front of the man she likes. However, his sense of love was greater than his dignity.
Renan's lips trembled doubtfully, not even sure of his heart. Said to be comfortable, she was very comfortable with the girl. However, who can guarantee his future will not be deviated again? If that happens, Miranda will be hurt.
He wanted to get out of the black valley. Could have used Miranda to help him. However, Renan did not want to hurt anyone, did not want to use the girl in front of him who was crying.
“Sincere and pure love does not look at anything will be more beautiful if we keep the whole love. Then your love for me is nothing more than a friend who says love to others.”
“Do you think we can still be friends? Can we still walk side by side? Can we still kiss without feeling love?” challenge Miranda.
Renan knitted his brows. He can't even answer Miranda's questions. Too close together made his heart beat fast. His embrace conveys warmth. His kiss aroused his hasr*t. But can he be accepted? Had he forced into a relationship with Miranda, would nothing have disrupted their relationship?
“Even just to be a friend will be difficult. So, wouldn't it be better not to see each other again?” lirih Renan's.
Miranda closed her eyes, tears kept flowing. “Alright, as you say. We're not supposed to meet again. However, you must remember, there is a girl who really sincerely loves you. A girl who loves you no matter who you are. In fact, if you're a monster though!”
Miranda tried to stand up, she exerted all her strength. Long enough to run, enough tears that he let out. Even he had not eaten from the last time he met Renan. He is weak, but he strives to be strong.
“I booked a taxi to the hotel,” said Renan. Wanted to say stay. However, he was afraid that his heart would change.
Miranda raised her hand after hearing Renan's words. He would only rely on himself without the help of the man. Miranda continued to walk without looking. Until he got to the door and finally collapsed from exhaustion.
“Miranda!” shouted Renan.
