Getting Married for Lying
070 - Reveal

"Haha," Yoran laughed again.

Yoran shook her head to hear Vaya's answer.

"Jeez, Vaya, that's right."

Vaya can see Yoran laughing but still graceful.

"Vaya, how can you think that VY is Vierlove Yanjayadi? You mean that Vier?" asked Yoran astonished.

"Hehe, I don't know why it all just crossed my head" Vaya replied.

"Vaya, Vier is a man" Yoran said.

"Hm, yes, maybe I'll just remember you and Vier, because you guys hang out together a lot" Vaya replied, chuckling.

"Haha, I see," Yoran laughed again.

Vaya again threw his gaze towards the field. Instantly the subconscious brings it to the memories of the past that are so embarrassing.

On the field, he approached Yoran, handing over a love letter that had to end up in Vier's hands.

Yoran saw the change in Vaya's expression that had been so cheerful suddenly turned moody.

"Vaya, let's go eat some chicken noodles" Yoran asked.

"Eh, what?" Vaya woke up from her daydream.

"'Chicken noodles," Yoran repeated.

...*****...

The chicken noodle stall in the school cafeteria began to look lonely, there were not many students hanging out there. It was different when Vaya was in school. The stall is famous for providing chicken noodles at a friendly price in large portions. No wonder they became male students. The owner of the stall has changed, no longer the Old Man with his wife.

"Children today rarely get together, hang out after school, they all gather in group chat, gather together but each hold a smart device," said Vaya.

"It is very different from the time we were in school first," continued Vaya.

Vaya churns chicken noodles in her bowl, while Yoran appears to have started devouring her chicken noodles. Vaya again could not take his eyes off Yoran.

"What's up, Vaya?" ask Yoran.

Vaya smirked clumsily as she again caught sight of Yoran.

"Yoran, do you know, I've seen you eat chicken noodles from that table?" Vaya pointed at the table he was referring to.

The table is two rows away from their position.

"I once sat there, watching you eat chicken noodles, as if we were at the same table" Vaya continued.

Yoran looked into Vaya's eyes which seemed to sparkle every time she said things she remembered in the past.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Yoran, I said some strange things" Vaya said.

Yoran shook her head.

"No, you didn't say anything wrong, Vaya. You're really great to still be able to remember things that have happened in the past in so much detail" Yoran said.

"Hmm, yes, because my brain seems to have the ability to remember things that are very important to me. If I could only use this ability to remember me to learn, it would be much more useful" Vaya grinned.

Yoran returned to her smile. I don't know why he feels comfortable talking to Vaya like this. They are like old friends who were once so familiar but separated long enough because of their respective activities.

...*****...

After eating chicken noodles, they continued their journey down the school corridor. Vaya was so enthusiastic when showing off his class when he was first and second grade because they were not in class.

"This used to be my class, a class full of drama, every day there will be a lot of students coming. You must have known who they were all coming to see, so I better not mention it" Vaya explained to Yoran.

"Definitely Vier, right?" guess Yoran.

"Haha" Vaya just laughed.

"Every day there are even other students who fight, jam each other, claw each other, because they fight over Vier," continued Vaya again reminisced.

Who could have guessed that years later, Vaya had to be bound by a bondage contract with Vier.

It's really embarrassing! I really hope Vier ends this bondage contract soon! Inner Vaya.

"Haha," now it was Yoran's turn to laugh.

"It's funny huh, Yoran?" ask Vaya.

"Hmm, yes, I vaguely remember such events. If I don't remember wrongly, the students brought this matter to the OSIS, they complained that it was difficult to get a girlfriend because all the students were captivated by Vier's charm," said Yoran. "They even offered to get Vier to change schools."

"Haha! Duh, why are we so ghibahin Vier huh? We become like the mothers of the neighbors who are crumpled! Haha," Vaya laughed.

"Haha" Yoran laughed.

...*****...

"Hatchim!"

Vier's sneezing sound made Mike flinch in shock.

"Sir Vier, are you okay?" ask Mike.

"Huh, why did I suddenly sneeze like this?" lamented Vier.

"Sir Vier, you'd better take extra vitamins, lest you get the flu" Mike said.

"Oh Mike! Only fools get the flu in the summer!" vier's Druck.

...*****...

"The teachers seemed to have come home in time" Vaya said.

"'Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

Vaya and Yoran immediately set their sights on the hijab-wearing woman, wearing a badge id sheathed around her neck. His name was Rike, his face was clearly very foreign to Vaya.

"We're looking for Mr. Santoso, ma'am" Yoran replied.

"Oh, Mr. Santoso, he retired two years ago" replied Rike.

"Oh so," said Vaya.

"Oh yes, by the way there is a need to find Mr Santoso?" ask Rike.

"Pak Santoso used to be our homeroom teacher" Vaya replied.

"Oh, are you guys planning to drop the wedding invitations?" ask Rike.

"Eh?" Vaya was shocked.

"Usually if a student comes here looking for their former homeroom teacher, the goal is most often to deliver a wedding invitation" Rike explained.

"Hehe, I see," Vaya chuckled.

"We just want to see him" replied Yoran. "Unfortunately, he has retired."

"True, the info is that he has also returned to the village," continued Rike.

"Oh that way, thanks for the information Mom," Yoran said.

"Oh yeah, by the way, what kind of force are you from?" ask Rike.

"We are 35" Yoran replied.

"Figure 35, wow, that was a long time ago," Rike looked surprised.

"Yes," replied Yoran.

Yoran glanced at Vaya who looked dumbfounded.

"Vaya?" call Yoran.

"Eh, yes, sorry," said Vaya.

"Alright, Miss Rike, then we'll excuse you" Yoran said.

Yoran invites Vaya to leave the school building to the parking lot.

Vaya is still daydreaming, it comes to mind the words of Bu Rike who thought he and Yoran had come to hand over the wedding invitation. At that instant Vaya was immediately carried away by the feeling.

"Vaya, are you okay?" ask Yoran.

"I'm fine" replied Vaya.

Of course Vaya lied. Right now Vaya's heart is being torn to shreds by a sad reality.

Yoran immediately drove her car, occasionally glancing towards Vaya who threw a glance out the window with a grim look.

"Yoran, can we just stop by somewhere before we go back?" ask Vaya.

"All right, no problem" replied Yoran.

...*****...

The waves appear to roll quietly, breaking and turning into foam as soon as they touch the beach.

Vaya could only see the waves chasing from inside the car. He refused to get out of Yoran's car. Outside the weather is still quite hot even though the clock has shown at four in the afternoon.

Vaya knew that when he returned to their city, his friendship with Yoran had to end. Instinct forces Vaya not to let go of the end of their togetherness.

"Vaya, what's wrong with you?" ask Yoran.

Vaya reverberated his fingers, hesitating to answer Yoran's question. Either he has to say something honest or he has to lie. 

Is it better to tell the truth now?

"Yoran, I'm really sorry for you. I don't think I can completely forget that I like you so much even if fifteen years have passed."

Vaya stiffened, her tears began to pour down her cheeks.

"I know, I really don't know myself like this. But I just want you to know how I've been feeling about you all along. Really, I just want you to know, so that I feel relieved to have revealed it to you" continued Vaya.

"For fifteen years I have harbored my love for you, interpreted for myself, my love for you is a feeling of liking or a feeling of love. I also realized that if not love, there was no way I could remember you for fifteen years," Vaya lowered her head, her tears dripping more and more.

Yoran who was silent and listening finally took Vaya's trembling hand.

Vaya looked at Yoran who was commenting on the gentle smile on her face.
