Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 212

"Come on, I'll talk to you for a second." Joe approaches a rainbow who is sitting down to eat his lunch in the cafeteria, accompanied by Lisa and Lucas.

"Repeat..." Joe calls Rainbow for the second time after the girl he now falls in love still sits down regardless of Joe's voice.

"Princess cold, come on." Lisa's whisper tried to reprimand the Rainbow.

"Thin mustache, same as I come.." As usual Lucas always teases Joe under any circumstances. But this time no, Joe just smiled faintly glancing at him once in a while.

"Joe, just talk here. It's the same, right?" Answer the Rainbow then.

"Are you sure I want to deliver it here?"

The rainbow turned her head by furrowing both of her eyebrows.

"What?"

"Then I asked you to move for a while."

"Huh, okay." Rainbow replied back in between his breath so deep, He thought it was time to finish this all. He did not want everything to get more dissolved in the taste that he did not understand all this time.

Then Rainbow walk first, followed by Joe who took him to the park at school. Joe thought it was just a pretty free place to convey what he wanted to say.

When he arrived at a school park, Rainbow stood up to look at Joe's face. Joe gave her a warm smile, but not the Rainbow. Behind his heart that he began to realize, vibrated every time close to the figure of a man who had been considered as a friend.

"Quick talk!!!"

"What's wrong with you, Langi?"

"I? What's wrong with me?"

"These few days you've been clearly looking away from me."

"Just feel it, Joe." The rainbow turned its gaze away from Joe's face.

"Tell me if I do something wrong, Langi. I'll fix it, but pliss don't stay away from me."

"You're not wrong, Joe. I just, I just.. Learning to get used to it."

"Custom yourself to what? What huh?" Joe started raising his voice.

"When you started to accept the love of our best friend, Jeni. We can't always be close, there has to be a distance between us Joe."

"Oh my goodness, you idiot. How can you think on your own accord, huh?"

"That's a fact, Joe."

"Look at me, Langi." Tell Joe then after the rainbow continues to back him since.

"No!!!" Answer the rainbow with a spark.

"Look at me, I said."

"No, I don't want to see you." Then Joe turned the Rainbow's body a little rough to face him.

"Awh, sick Joe. What the hell?" The rainbow shrieked softly and Joe's grip was so strong on his shoulder.

"Ma, forgive me. I'm sorry, Langi."

The rainbow lowered its face before Joe even though their distance was now very close. Then slowly Joe ventured to raise his chin Rainbow to look up at Joe's face.

"You're just pretending, you're lying with the distance between us right now, Langi."

"A, what do you mean?" Rainbow Lips back trembling and trying to shift the gaze of his two eyes that are now getting closer to Joe.

"Don't take your eyes off me, look at me. Look at me, look."

"Don't be silly, let go of your hand. We, we're too close. I don't want to cause any misunderstandings if anyone notices us."

Joe remained reluctant to let go of the Rainbow chin that was propping up on Joe's fingers.

"You really want me to accept Jeni's love?"

"Hmmm.." Answer the short Rainbow.

"Where do you know that, if Jeni loves me?"

"Li-sa's. Lisa told me," replied Rainbow nervously.

"You lied, Langi." Joe's voice sounded soft but as if on the tap of his tone intonation.

"You heard it all in class that day, didn't you?"

"That's it, Joe. Don't talk about this again, let me go." Rainbow quickly took off Joe's hand and brushed him off. He took a step back from in front of Joe, looking as if he was taking a deep breath as his heartbeat accelerated.

"What if I'm really serious about what I said back then, Langi."

Degh !!!

The rainbow was full, again startled until both eyes were wide at Joe's back. He quickly regained his senses to neutralize his current rage.

"Per, what's wrong.. You mean? I don't understand." Although Rainbow tried to stay relaxed but the sound he released could not be controlled. It was obvious he was so nervous to speak.

"I'm in love with you, Langi. I like you and maybe I've loved you for a long time."

The dug dug dug dug...

Rainbow heart decub increasingly feels like a bedug that is tabooed during the day. His entire body could no longer tolerate all the feelings he had been controlling. His entire body felt like he was in a sting of electricity, his face heating up noticeably.

Oh my God, what is this feeling? Why like this? What's wrong with me? On the one hand there is a happy feeling to hear it, even though I have tried to control it. But on the other hand, I.. I really don't understand.

"Did you hear me, Langi?"

"Joe, don't be crazy. We've been friends since we were kids, we're like sisters, right?"

Again Joe pulled the body of the Rainbow to face him again. But this time, Joe brought Rainbow's body closer by pulling his waist so impressed Joe was hugging the body of the Rainbow in his arms.

"It was when we were kids, so why? Why why anyway? Shouldn't a couple of friends in childhood fall in love and love each other?"

"Joe, don't be silly. Let go of me, you must be just teasing me I'm no longer away from you. Take me off, Joe."

The rainbow tried to wriggle to push Joe's body which is now attached to his body. It made him nervous even more so that it felt like his heartbeat was going to explode.

"Why? If you only thought of me as like any other friend, you would dare to look at me at this close distance. Tell me, if you have the same feelings as me."

The rainbow is getting riled up. He was puzzled to find a way to escape Joe's current attitude so tightly hugged his waist. She doesn't want to hurt and ruin her friendship with Jeni before she finds out who Joe really is.. He's already handed Joe over to his best friend, Jeni. Because she knows that Jeni has fallen in love with Joe, her first love.

"Joe, I can't possibly hurt Jeni's feelings right now. She fell in love with you long before I knew who you really were." The rainbow mulao spoke softly, his attitude that thrashed since earlier began to weaken.

"Then what about your heart, Langi? How have you felt about me since we were together? Do you really think I'm just a friend? Huh yeah?"

The rainbow was silent for a moment, then its facial expression was like confusion in search of a more appropriate reason.

Teeeit... Tet, time...

The sound of a bell entering the classroom, making Rainbow breathe a sigh of relief in front of Joe this second. So far he felt escaped to not give an answer that made him confused and frightened this second.

"Currently, you think I'll let you go before you give me an answer, Langi?"

The rainbow looked at Joe back with a slight growl, Joe returned with a grinning smile. Makes the rainbow even more upset.

"Alright, Joe. Tell me one thing, what you'll choose.. Love or friendship?"

"Love."

"You even answered without thinking first, are you really this selfish?"

"Because to me, love is a friend. Friends are love, sam is like us. Since we were kids, we have been friends. Then when we separate and grow up, that love present completes our friendship. So I intend to keep my love and my best friend."

"You... You're crazy."

The rainbow pushed her hard then passed her, stepping with a slight run about to head for class. Joe smiles satisfied to see Rainbow leave him alone in the park, while it's already class time.

"Huh, I almost died holding back my unreasonable heartbeats while looking at her face so closely. You suck, Joe. You're a cool ass, but in your heart it's going to explode it's like holding my heart beating faster. Hah, is this like a person in love?"

Joe said to himself and laughed it off. While Rainbow had already arrived at the class with a reddened face, many times he patted both of his cheeks and pressed against part of his chest. Taking a deep breath, as his bathin muttered.

"I almost died because of Joe. He's crazy, he's crazy. Aaaargd...."
