Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 292

Three days have passed. Joe disappears with no news, though Rainbow and his three best friends are hanging out. No one knows where Joe went, several times we tried to contact him, came to visit, did not show up.

"Son. Are you busy?" Ask me while knocking on the rainbow door.

"Just in, Ma."

I entered his room when he told me to come in.

I saw him sitting casually with a laptop on his lap and a few books on his side.

"Well... Mama bothers dong."

"No dong, Ma. It's over soon." The answer is then put the laptop back on the table.

"Ehm, how? Joe still no news?"

The rainbow shook its head slowly.

"Are you fighting again?"

"No, Ma. The last time we met during our graduation party, everything was fine."

"Squeaky... But, ah already. Maybe Joe is having another move. Or maybe he has privacy that only he and his parents know. So they don't want to be disturbed first."

Privacy? Whatisit? Have we not always been open to each other since? Uh but... Now different. Aye right? Our friendship is not as warm as it used to be.

Bathin Rainbow muttering.

"Ah, mom almost forgot. There's something my mom wants to say." I said then after seeing him speechless with a blank mind. Of course, he thought about Joe disappearing for no reason.

"What, Ma?" Her question responded quickly.

"Om you, Kevin. Last night I talked to your dad for a while, and he said he'd set up an apartment for you to live near campus. There will already be one trusted assistant by her, it's just... Can you get Lisa to live with you in that apartment? Mama's still worried you're living alone with an assistant."

Instantly both Rainbow eyes sparkled to hear my words. He was so happy and so happy.

"Really, Ma? Kyaaa... Kevin understood the most."

"Hm... He said it's a prize for you, because you got the highest marks and the best scholarship. They'll take care of all your facilities in that apartment, no need to think about anything else. Sometimes he and Aunt Nia will come to see you there later. When mom and dad can't come to your place."

"Ma... I'm sad, soon I'll be living far away with my mom, papa, and my sisters."

"No, mama so doubt again to separate the same mama's child who paaaaling beautiful."

"Uugh, whatever it is. This I do for the future, I won't let you all down who do so much for me."

"Smart kid. Papa and Mama really hope you've always been our pride, son."

"Of course, ma. I'll do it and grant it all."

I tightened my embrace on the tiny body of my daughter who was about to grow up, but had to stay away from me. Ah, taste... I would love to ban him, to be away from me. But... My job right now is as his parents. However I just have to keep giving him support, upbringing, and protection while it's good for his future.

And Kevin... Ah, I'm so ashamed of you. Until now, you've always tried to do your best for the rainbow. What is clear is not your flesh and blood, may God avenge it.

Arrive the day of the last diploma and all other requirements and equipment for all graduate students this year at school.

The rainbow has arrived at school with her three best friends. They were sitting leisurely in the cafeteria after their diploma was taken. They want to enjoy the atmosphere in the school that is filled with a unique story, in the last seconds they will really no longer set foot in their proud school.

"Hum, Lucas. Don't you really know about Joe lately?"

"D, Eh.. I'm..."

Oh my, how dong. Why should I be the first to ask about Joe.

"I what? Hayo... Are you deliberately trying to make up a lie?"

Lisa and Jeni are already playing their fingers on the table. They're nervous, they're holding back from telling me what Joe did that night.

"Joe took his diploma before us, and it wasn't Joe who came. But, Daddy's." Lucas explained doubtfully and lowered his face.

"What's? Ke, why can?" Rainbow surprise not play. He wondered more and more at heart, what was really going on, why Joe had changed. The rainbow looked at his three best friends who seemed to be holding back uneasily since then.

"Sa, Jenny... You guys are hiding something from me?" The rainbow asks again, but this time introgates Lisa and Jeni. Lucas did not dare to look into the rainbow's face.

"............."

They still refused to open their voices.

"Huh, I expected it. Since that night, you've never looked around again when Joe didn't come with us. Did something really happen?"

"Lisa, Jeni... I'm sorry, I can't be quiet anymore. I have to deliver Joe's last letter to Princess cold." Lucas spoke up and gave a letter with trembling hands. Jeni and Lisa had glared at Lucas, but it was too late. The letter had already quickly Rainbow grabbed him in annoyance.

Hii... Hello, huhuy. Smile dong, don't be so manyun.

Um, I know you might be angry right now. I just left without giving you any special news and farewells, Langi.

But there's one thing I can't tell you. I'm sorry, sorry for everything I've done to you. Sorry for hurting and disappointing your heart all this time.

I quit this competition, I won't interfere anymore, there are many things I have to deal with in order for me to truly live without one regret like I feel right now. Be happy, you're free. You don't have to keep my feelings anymore, you don't have to feel bad about who you want to be in a relationship with later. I hope you will succeed and succeed, as the greatest doctor in the world. Because when I get sick, I'll find you to treat me.

Always smile, enjoy the days. Lisa, Jeni, and Lucas. They are part of my life too, happy to be part of your friendship.

Yea... I will always miss you!!!

Krekkk!

The rainbow crumpled up the letter paper that was filled with Joe's handwriting. His three best friends are getting restless, maybe it's time they convey what they've been hiding.

"What the fuck? You think that's how things are done, Joe? You're leaving again like this." The rainbow sounded raucous, she was crying.

Goddamn, Joe. Again, I cried my best friend, Joe. Don't expect you'll get your rainbow heart again.

Jeni clenched her hands together furiously.

"For what, you're still crying for a jerk like him." Said later. Make the rainbow raise its head for a moment.

"Jeen..." Call Rainbow.

"Huh, it seems like indeed I can't keep this song all. We don't want to be cheated on again, let that crazy thing Joe did to you." Lisa answered this time.

"What's wrong with you guys?" The rainbow was still confused with both of her eyes being puffy, wet by tears.

With a deep breath, Jeni opened her mouth speaking firmly, densely and clearly. Nothing was missing from that night. It felt like Jeni was deliberately holding her breath to tell her everything.

"Do you know, the wound on Exelle's head back then was to save you from the selfishness of Joe who wanted to stain you, Princess cold." Lisa added. Lucas just kept his head down because in his heart he knew, Joe really loves Rainbow, his best friend.

"And, lock your car... He purposely hid it, misstabbed my aunt's staff employee who found it in his shirt pocket." Lucas said in a soft voice.

Aaah, I'm sorry.. My prince. I do feel sorry for you, but this time you've been reckless and outrageous.

The rainbow fell silent without a sound to hear all that was conveyed by his three companions. Even his breathing seemed to stop, he felt the flow of blood from his body even weakened, to feel very dizzy, wanted to scream, wanted to get angry, wanted to blow it with tears, but why couldn't he? Ask her in your heart.

"Princess cold, forgive us. This is all Exelle's request, she doesn't want us to tell you about Joe's fatal behavior." Lisa approaches the rainbow and embraces her shoulder.

It's all right, God... I'm just going to expose Joe's depravity, but about their brotherhood... I'll keep it a secret, 'cause I think Exelle's a lot better.

In Lisa's heart murmured. Then Jeni moved from her position, she hugged the body of the Rainbow.

"Cry, don't shut up like this. I know, you are very shocked and angry this time. But please, don't be mad at Exelle too. He's only doing this to keep your friendship. Exelle doesn't want to be looked at just because she loves you, and then she lets you hate Joe."

"I'm most wrong here, I'm too trusting that Joe really loves you, Princess cold. I don't know if Joe's gonna be so passionate that he's gonna crush you." Lucas stood up and hugged the Rainbow as well.

The rainbow closed his eyes then, he shed tears, his breath stingingly holding back his overflowing emotions while hugging his three best friends.

You're my best friend, Joe. You said you were like a big brother to me, who would always protect his sister, but you almost ruined my life. You almost took away what was my dream in the future. You're evil Joe, just get here. I will no longer remember and remember everything about you. It's all over, it's all over.
