End Journeys
the stone my blood

Ruby clasped Thomas's hand, asking Thomas to stand before her.

"True, I still love you. It's not easy to forget everything. You're the first man I love so much. But I don't want to give you the same pain I felt when you betrayed me. I don't want to betray Felix" Ruby gave an answer.

"I'm willing to end my relationship with Aster for you" Thomas tried to melt Ruby's heart.

"Now I want to ask, didn't you choose him and leave me? Now why are you like this?" ask Ruby.

"It's only the momentary emotion that makes me leave you. My personal problems plus our quarrels, I can't control my emotions so I'm looking for an outlet" Thomas gave an excuse.

"Why do I have to cheat? Why don't you vent it another way on me? Why don't you just scold me? Why don't you just be rude to me? Why don't you hit..."

"I can't do that to you, I can't see you crying in front of me. I was wrong, and I used to betray. I'll clear your name in front of friends in person when college is normal. I promise," said Thomas.

Ruby didn't know what else to say. He was really frustrated with the problems he had to solve immediately.

"Whatever your decision I accept but I really hope you will take me back" Thomas added.

"Do you want to wait for me? Until it's all done? ask Ruby.

The question Ruby gives a ray of hope for Thomas to be back with Ruby.

"I'll wait" Thomas gave the answer.

They talked for a moment about the task the lecturer gave and worked on some notes the past week where they were left behind due to having to deal with the sect.

Ting..

Ruby's phone sounds but Ruby's not interested in checking her phone. He prefers to focus on the task.

"Second first," Thomas advised.

Somehow Ruby complied with what Thomas said, he immediately took his phone and checked who sent him the message.

"Felix" Ruby said.

"I want to see" Thomas read Felix's message.

"Thomas, go home," Ruby asked.

"Why? I'm not done yet" Thomas refused.

"I don't want to lie. Or you get out of my house for a second, after I reply you can come in," Ruby panicked.

"Gosh you're still being too honest, ' Thomas left Ruby in the living room.

"Self," Ruby answered Felix's question.

"I'm there, right?" reply Felix.

"All right," Ruby let.

"Hey, Thomas!" exciting Ruby.

Thomas immediately walked back into Ruby's house laughing.

"Maybe I follow your orders," Thomas was in no mood for what he had just done.

"By the way, Felix will come here. Go home first tomorrow we talk again," said Ruby.

"Alright throw my daughter away" Thomas replied as he looked at Ruby who was cleaning the table in the living room. Thomas pulled Ruby's hand and kissed her lips. It was the second kiss Ruby received from Thomas on that day.

"I told you not to" Ruby hit Thomas on the shoulder.

Thomas leaves Ruby who is now daydreaming on the porch of the house. The mixed feelings Ruby felt. He does not understand his own feelings but he knows very well that he still loves Thomas.

Ruby walked into the house to get her mattress. He held a mattress on the porch of the house, undressed and left his skin touched directly by the wind while waiting for his lover to come.

"Where was he so long ago? My lover," said Ruby,

"Or a potential ex-lover?" Ruby is busy with her own thoughts and begins to fall asleep.
