"Please sit down Joline" Ben invited me to sit in one of the chairs at the park but I hesitated a little, but wouldn't it be rude to refuse? Wherever he is the son of the number 1 person in CC Group.
"Let's just relax, I'm sure there's a lot of questions on your mind?" Ben said casually as if understanding from my movements
It's true that there are so many questions in my head, why did he run, why should I run too? and also about Cesper
"Actually no one is aware that I am present today, including my father" Ben said, nodding in understanding
That's why he ran away
"And beyond a doubt the floodlights highlighted us when I removed the mask" Ben continued
"Then the reason I pulled you out was because I didn't want people to misunderstand that I was the one who made you cry" Ben managed to give me a small cough, simply answering all my questions
"So why are you crying?" Ben's question cornered me, I'm embarrassed
"I didn't cry, just because there was dust in my eyes" said the fool
"Ok" continued Ben, I explained a sigh of relief, it seems Ben understood that I was not comfortable with this discussion even though it was clear he did not believe at all
We were immersed in each other's thoughts, the memory of Cesper came back to me. I know he is not serious but still it is very evil, how can he join hands with other women when he says he likes me. I clenched my hand to endure the pain in my heart,
I should have learned from my previous experience, I also kept reminding myself that Cesper was just playing me. But why, why does this heartache still feel so stifling. The tightness and emotion that I felt made my eyes go back to tears, damn I can't cry here.
Suddenly I felt something touch my head and it was Ben's outer coat
"Wear it, look at you until the shaking is sure you're cold" I'm a little surprised by Ben's actions
"Then when you can't stand closing like this then no one will see it" Ben covered my face with his suit, the next second my tears flowed down. I cried on Ben's shoulder and once in a while I could feel a gentle pat on my head, it made me cry even harder. The tightness in my heart made me ignore Ben's true status. Falling in love is painful, my heart is broken into pieces.
-------------
I'm still sitting in the park in Ben's suit and Ben goes to get a drink. Now that I'm crying, my mind is back at work, I'm really stupid, I can cry in front of a Ben Chronicles and he even goes to get me a drink, I told Nita that I came home first because I wasn't feeling well. I'm afraid Nita will scratch Cesper immediately if she knows the truth and I don't want to meet anyone right now.
Suddenly my gaze was hallowed by a warm cup of coffee, I reflexively stood up
"Thank you" I said, bowing politely, and as I saw who the man in front of me was making me speechless, Cesper stood right in front of me with a cup of coffee in his hand. I didn't welcome the coffee and reflexed a few steps back. My expression showed an unpleasant look.
"I can explain" said Cesper
"No need Mr. Cesper, I'm not interested" Cut me, I tried to smile and answer in as calm a voice as possible
My disappointment made me feel sick of seeing his face
"Hey me.."
"Sorry, I have to go" Cut me off again by pretending to look at a watch, I don't want to spend a second of my time with this thing.
"Wait" Cesper held me back as soon as the memory of her holding another woman with her hand disgusted me. I thinned his hands violently, Cesper looked shocked and hurt but I didn't care anymore.
I walked away in a hurry because I could feel my eyes returning to tears. Damn why I'm so whiny.
"Listen to me first" said Cesper trying to hold me back
"Please let go" I tried to let go of Cesper's grip, again Cesper using his power. I am so sick of situations like this. When I could hardly bear it all of a sudden
"Take him off!" Ben's voice shifted our vision and he clasped Cesper's hand. As I felt Cesper's grip weaken I hurriedly broke free and hid behind Ben.
"You're still the same as it used to be, you still love to use violence"
"Go away, this has nothing to do with you" Cesper said in a threatening tone
"No, he's with me" I said in a slightly trembling tone, hooking my hand to Ben's arm
"We can go now" I said trying to smile at Ben, hoping Ben understood what I meant.
On suspicion of Ben releasing my hook, he lowered his head, fixed the position of the coat that hung over my shoulder, tucked the hair behind my ears and smiled sweetly.
"Yuk" Ben said as he hugged my waist draped towards her
I felt very uncomfortable but because I wanted to get out of this situation I just followed
Cesper just looked at us and silent a thousand languages, we stepped past him.
As soon as I got to the corner where Cesper couldn't see us anymore, I pulled out of Ben and took a few steps back.
"I'm sorry to have involved you in this kind of situation" I said and bowed 90 degrees
"Just relax, you don't have to behave this way" Ben said
"Then thank you very much, your suit will I return after washing" I said unwell
"Do you want to go home?" Ben asked while looking at his watch, I just nodded
"Do I need to take it?"
"No need, my friend is already on his way here" Cut me out for not wanting to trouble Ben more than this
"Well then I have to leave before your friend comes" Ben said
"Then don't tell anyone about you seeing me today ok?" Ben said with a smile
"Ok" I said understand, I don't want today's events to be known to anyone
"Oh yes, call this number when you want to return the Suit" End Ben while handing over his business card, I greet him and He went through the bushes with the left-right lyrics.
Seeing him so made me understand why it took him so long to take a drink earlier. I lied about an invitation from a friend, because I didn't want to trouble Ben more than this.
What a long night, I took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. I didn't bring a vehicle because I was following Nita's car and I didn't want to take a taxi either because it must be stuck on New Year's Eve. I walked home with the stars and moon.
On the way home there were a lot of things I was thinking about but at the same time I also felt empty. When passing a football field suddenly
YOOOOOO!!!
Such beautiful fireworks adorned the night sky but the strange thing that was seen in my eyes was only black and white.
I checked the clock on my phone that was showing at 00:00 and I received a lot of new year congratulatory notifications from social media, it felt really strange. I have many friends but now that I am alone here, I go back to breathing and smiling
"Happy New Year Joline" I said to myself and walked back towards home
That's how I ended the last page of the year that also followed the end of my love story.
