"Lexy."
Lexi smiled as she quickened her steps as soon as she saw the figure who was also stepping wide towards her. Harry Geonandes's. The man spread out his arms and Lexi jumped into the man's arms. Harry twisted their bodies. Happy laughter was heard and seen from both figures.
While someone who was also there could only stare with nanar. Steven Percy's. Who should he blame if this is the case. There aren't. As Lexi said, this is fate. It wants the woman. Like Lexi who accepted all the lies, swallowed the disappointment as well as the heartache, Steve had to do the same. Learn to be heartened. Because no matter how hard he convinces Lexi, he will only make the girl further away. Lexi's having a crisis of confidence. Women who are traumatized need time to get through it all.
If in the end, Lexi is married and happy with Harry, all she has to do is be grateful. Isn't Lexi's happiness above everything else. He can only pray and hope that Lexi is not wrong in making a decision. He knew Harry, he was very nice. There is no bad record of women at all.
Cement! Was he a weak man who gave up before he fought? Steve could have knelt down, begged, groaned, had he felt worthy. From the beginning, he did not feel worthy. All he needs is a recognition of Lexi's worthiness. And here's the answer. In Lexi's eyes he wasn't worthy enough. Yeah, how could he possibly be worthy of a Lexi, staring at himself in the mirror alone he didn't dare.
"Lexi, tell me I'm not dreaming?"
Harry's question roused Steve from his reflection. He stood near to both. Has he given his congratulations and farewell properly?
"I'm in your arms, does this look like a dream?" Lexi wrapped her hands around Harry's neck. The eyes of both of them collide with the two corners of the lips that expand each other.
"It's too beautiful. Let me ask and hear the answer straight from your mouth, Princess. You really accept me? Reply to my feelings?"
Lexi nodded quickly. "Slowly I will return your feelings. Do you mind if it might take me some time to think of you as a man. You're my best friend, like a brother to me. I love you, of course. But still, you want your feelings to be reciprocated, don't you? I'm gonna make an effort. You want to help me?"
"Oh, Lexi. If this is a dream I don't want to wake up. Thank ye. Your love is enough for me. I don't mind really." Harry turned back around their bodies. His feelings for a matter of years were conveyed as well. What could be happier than this?
"But why so suddenly?"
"I thought about it all night. You don't like it? Hm, put me down, my head is getting dizzy."
"Oh, sorry," Harry chuckled as he scrambled the girl's hair.
Don't ask what happened to the man who noticed them. Steve was struggling with his heart and logic, while his feet and hands were itching to hit Harry. But in the end his heart and logic agree, who is he? His jealousy means nothing. He would only embarrass himself in front of Harry and he would end up in complete ridiculousness.
"Ehm,"
Steve deliberately cleared his throat to attract the attention of the two. Succeeds. Lexi and Harry turned their heads towards her.
"Oh, Steven Ivarez. You're here?"
"Steven Percy," he replicates, which makes Harry arch his eyebrows clueless.
"What are you doing here?"
Harry was so happy that he chose to ignore what confused him.
"He delivered champagne to Daddy. 1000 champagne." Manik Lexi buy girang. An expression that was always capable of making men stare in admiration. While talking, everything in Lexi's talking. Whether it's body gestures, eye glances, and both corners of his lips. Very expressive girl.
"Wow!"
"He's nagging. New 501 bottles. The rest will be paid off soon, won't they, Steven?"
Steve turned his head towards Lexi, staring fixedly at the girl's bead. The smile on Lexi's face faded slowly, turning into an awkward dry grin. Then Steve pulled the corner of his lips. Smilingly.
"of course. Debts must be paid. When I pay off the debt, I hope you've truly forgiven me."
Again and again Harry could frown, not understanding Steven's words.
"Harry, man,"
Pax's voice undoes Harry's intention to ask what wrong has been done to Lexi.
"Yes, Uncle." The man turned around, running a little toward his future father-in-law.
"It seems that from now on I will have to change the way I call you, Uncle. Lexi welcomed my feelings."
"Congratulations" Pax said briefly, demanding Harry leave, leaving Steve and Lexi behind.
Lexi and Steve are still there. Both stay in place. The next second, both of them compactly took a breath.
"Your decision is round?" Steve had to make sure once again so that he was sure, what steps he would do next. Let go and let go.
"Yes. Olivia was pregnant too. Give more attention. What if one day, we betrothed your son and mine."
Steve laughed blandly, "It's the same as killing me."
Lexi laughed too.
"Lexi, man,"
"Hmm?"
"Do you remember what I said a moment ago. About me who will love you when you love someone else. I am serious about my words. I wish you could love Harry." Steve smiled faintly.
His heart was sliced as he said this. It is not easy to be happy. It is not easy to let go and let go when the heart is still in love.
"I'll never forget you, I accept your decision and try to accept your decision. As you wish, I will know my limits and I will try to move on without you. It's important for me to say that doesn't mean I'm losing my feelings for you. Before you fell for me, I had admired you long before that. My feelings for you are not easy to deal with. However, right now all I can do is pull over and I need to know myself better."
"I look like a loser, don't I? Not fighting, when you used to desperately keep your feelings in shackles. I'm not giving up, I'm just following your wishes, stop doing it like you've chosen to stop doing it."
"Now I'm just doing what's best for you: letting you go, it's what you want, isn't it?"
Lexi nodded her head.
Devastated already Steve's heart saw a nod of Lexi's head implying that Lexi was unanimous with her decision.
"It's hard to let you go by letting you go. But what can I do because I have no power to hold you back. It's not the end I really want. There is no good way to break up. It's gonna hurt."
"Stevens..."
"Std.... Let me finish my words. Just for a minute."
Lexi nodded her head.
"You have suffered all along. You've been defending your race all this time. That's not an easy thing. And when the figure you're defending is in front of you, you find yourself not as crazy as before. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, my presence can't keep you afloat."
"You don't want to, you can't. We finally have to let each other go. But you need to remember, letting go of you doesn't mean I don't love you, it doesn't mean I don't suffer from missing you, it doesn't mean I don't want to be with you. But what does it mean to want me, if you want me and want me to be out of line. Like you said, the moon and the sun won't be together, they won't be together. Even if the eclipse appears, the two only greet each other in a matter of minutes. It would be too dangerous for the universe if the eclipse came for a long time. Yeah, Lexi, let's take each other off. We don't need any event to let go and end each other."
Steve reached out with a smile. Lexi did something similar. Welcomed Steve's hand and published his smile.
"Find your happiness without me in your life. Goodbye, Lexi Stevani Willson."
"Goodbye, Steven Percy."
