Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 190

Rainbow lesson break hours running towards the library. As usual, whenever his heart felt unsettled and chaotic. He was always alone in the library room, by reading many books until his mind was no longer controlled by his heart that was in turmoil.

"Hey, where are the jutek going, you're not coming?" Joe asked the three Rainbow Companions.

"As usual, it looks like Princess Cold's mood today is being broken. And it's been made sure where he's going" Lisa said.

"Douh, we've been friends for a long time. But my Princess Cold had never shared with us when she was like this." Lucas answered with a sullen face.

"There are times when our rainbow privates its own problems. We shouldn't bother him, it'll be a little relief for him won't we?" Jeni concluded.

"But what's up? What happened to the rainbow? And where is he going? It's not a bad hour, what if he's sick because it's late for lunch."

"You better not try to get to him in the dime room this time, Joe. Or not, you'll be finished with it." Lisa.

"Hmmm... So he's in the porous room, um.. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria." Joe looked as if he was going to plan something, but then he took three Rainbow friends to the cafeteria.

After chatting while enjoying their lunch in the cafeteria, Joe hurriedly finished his meal. Making it choke, and Jeni swiftly gave him a bottle of mineral water. Meanwhile, Lisa and Lucas are stunned by Jeni's attitude that is so caring and caring for Joe.

"Thank you, Jen. I go first, yes, you guys go ahead. I have things to do first, ok. Have a good lunch" said Joe, who then left.

"But, Joe.. I'm.." Jeni's speech comes to a halt as Joe just waves while Lucas and Lisa stare at Jeni sharply.

"Jen, be honest with us. You like Joe?" Ask Lisa in a serious tone.

"D, Eh.. Me, me.. Didn't I explain before, if I just..."

"Ah, that's it. I just don't want you to get hurt at the beginning of your heart falling in love" Lisa replied again.

"A, what do you mean, Sa?"

"It looks like Joe really likes our cold Princess, and somehow my feeling is so strong. I feel like this time Joe's gonna win his heart, but.. I don't know."

"But Joe said he just wanted to be friends with the Rainbow, nothing more." Jeni denied Lisa's words by suppressing her tone.

"OMG Jeens, you just got mad? Are you really mad at us, Jeens?" Lucas called out then asked in a mendette tone. Making Jeni paled instantly, Lisa became even more confident in her heart at this moment.

"Jen, that's it. I reiterate once again, falling in love with someone who does not have the same feelings for us is very painful, even if Joe is your type of guy. Just say your intentions, I don't want to see my friends hurt because of heartbreak. Especially YOU, Jen. You're still too innocent about love relationships, you've never known the word courtship before, haven't you?"

Jeni silently lowered her face when Lisa whom she had always considered childish with her spoiled attitude was. Now it turned serious with such an attached gaze.

"Oh, what the hell are you guys. After all, the Joe will not fall for anyone. Because of him, only mine... Hahaha," Lucas said, trying to melt the stillness that was quite tense.

"Lucaaass !!!"

Then Lisa and Jeni shout loudly at Lucas' words that sound ridiculous and disgusting to them.

In the library room, Rainbow sat alone among several other disciples. He deliberately chose a chair in the corner, so that when he wanted to vent everything with tears no one would see him.

Back Rainbow imagined his childhood, when he was busy himself always Lucky who accompanied and invited him to talk a lot to make him tired.

Rainbow tears dripped down the sheets of the book in his hand, his gaze blank..

Yet secretly, without the Rainbow noticing. Her tears fell soaking down Joe's palm that she purposely raised just below the Rainbow chin from the side.

"So these tears that are always behind your attitude are always cold to everyone? Secretly you cry for no reason, I don't know what your problem is."

With surprise and alacrity Rainbow turned towards the voice that invited him to speak. He realized that Joe had held his tears in his palm. And quickly the rainbow wiped it. Joe smilingly shifted his original gaze from the Rainbow.

"Udah, what to delete. Besides your tears I have caught with my hands, do I need to keep them in a special museum of rare objects? Hihih."

"You're so crazy, Joe. What are you here for, huh?" Rainbow half-whispered, gritting his teeth. He was really upset and did not expect that Joe was the first to see him silently shed tears. Even Joe was the only one he knew at this school.

"Now, you must be hungry and thirsty." Said Joe while giving him a bottle of drink and a piece of bread that he deliberately bought secretly while in the cafeteria.

The rainbow turned its face away from the gift, Joe seemed to take a deep breath.

"Huhft... This food and drink is not wrong, they are not your enemy. Eat it, if you insist on refusing it. You can throw it away, but you know it too. Throwing food away just isn't good, is it?" Joe said back by putting it in front of the rainbow.

"May I sit here with you?" Ask Joe back. But the rainbow still fell silent without an answer.

"Ehm, alright, Langi. I'm not gonna bother you" Joe was leaving.

Joe looked happy, he smiled with satisfaction and then turned his body back to face the rainbow. Their eyes meet again.

"Did you let me sit here with you?" Joe said enthusiastically.

"Thank you for the bread and the drinks. It would be impolite if I didn't say thank you for someone's gift."

"Gosh, I think I'm too GR. I thought you'd make me sit with you here, huh."

"Maybe, but with one deal. And this happens only once for all,"

"Wow, this seems to be very serious." Joe answered trying to guess with a smile on his face that rested on his arm in front of the Rainbow.

"Don't taunt me, don't tease me, and don't expose all three of my best friends for what you saw earlier." Say the rainbow firmly.

"Pffit... Haha,"

"Csssttt.. Hi you, lower your voice. Just interrupt, this is the porous room." Another student rebuked Joe angrily because Joe laughed so loosely. Without realizing where he is now.

"Oh my goodness, you son of a bitch. Once again you laugh at me, I'll punch you."

"Owh, upz. Okay, I won't laugh anymore. Well I'm sorry, Langi."

"Isa... Stop calling me that nickname, Joe."

"Why Rainbow, why do you hate that nickname so much. I love it," Joe said with a serious look at the Rainbow, leaving the Rainbow silent on both lips.

"Was anyone saying it before me, or..."

"Don't be ignorant of my life, Joe."

"Then why? Why are you always angry, and your attitude is too overstated Rainbow. Hey, we're one school even one class right now. Is it not natural for us to be friends with each other?"

"Aren't you already a part of my friends, every time we get together you're there, aren't you? Is that not enough?"

"No, Rainbow. That's not enough for me, aren't you tired of your cold attitude? Don't you feel tired of having to keep quiet like this, endure all by yourself, cry silently by yourself. I don't know what a big deal it is, but can you share it with me or at least with your best friend. They love you so much, you never know how they always feel guilty and anxious when you choose to be alone like this. Is that what my best friend said?"

"Shut up !!! Don't set me up like that. Who are you huh? Even they were my best friends all along, never set me up that way."

"You.. Turned Langi, I'm sad to see you like this."

"Why do you always say as if we've known each other before, don't make up silly stories."

"So you called me just to argue like this? You're such a cold girl. I don't know if there's ever been someone who's comfortable with your attitude like this? Or maybe it never was because you were so hard-hearted and cold. This attitude of yours sometimes makes everyone dislike you, Langi."

Hearing that, the rainbow clenched its hands in trembling. Throwing a drink and a loaf of bread in front of him at Joe, shocked Joe, and the rainbow departed. Joe quickly chases after him, hastily trying to grab the Rainbow's hand to stop him.

"I'm sorry, if I went too far."

"Let go of my hand" replied the Rainbow, dismissing Joe's hand.

"I beg you to forgive me, Langi. Uh I mean, Pe-la-ngi."

"That's it, doesn't matter anymore. My mind and heart have been complicated enough with silly things all this time, I don't want to add it to your crazy words anymore."

"Yes, I'm crazy. Maybe if we could make friends and share, I'd be a little sane. Hehe,"

"Sih, it's up to you."

"Yess, it's up to me to assume you're agreeing to be friends with me like you are..."

"Did I say that, huh? I didn't even agree to it. I've had enough good friends like Lucas, Lisa and Jeni."

"But I don't. I'll just feel good enough and at home here if you want to be friends with me, hem.."

"Aarrgd... It's up to you, Joe. You're really bothering me, I'm sick of you following your pleading words."

"I won't stop before what I want I get, just like our current friendship."

Then the rainbow just went past Joe, looking Joe jumped up and danced for a moment. He felt he had managed to make the Rainbow accept him to make more intimate friends.

I can't take it anymore, Langi. But I had to be forced and able to until the right time to make you remember me again. Ii'm sorry...
