The pain of Rey 2

Susan rubbed her tears that she could not stand while listening to Rey's story. He clasped the man's hand and rubbed the back of his hand.

Rey replied by holding it tightly. There was a deep pain in Rey's eyes. Red eyes. Dropped clear water in the corner of his eye.

"That woman is my wife. I love him so much, but God loves him more."

"I'm sorry" said Susan

"You are indeed at first glance similar to him. That's why Elina called you mama. He never saw his mother for real. But he knows from Susi's photo ."

"Did she know her mother was dead?"

"No. Who knows her mother worked far away."

"Why is that?"

"The color I want. If someday I marry again. He can accept his new mama."

"But what if he won't accept your new wife?"

"I won't marry a woman my daughter doesn't love."

"Even though you love her?"

"Yes. I can try to love the person my daughter loves. But maybe not the other way around my daughter. Not necessarily she can love the person I love."

Rey took a deep breath. The face of Susan is deep.

"Sane...Can I hold you?"

Susan nodded her head.

Rey hugged him tightly. Her tears fell back.

Susan felt a warmth and a feeling she had never felt before.

Susan tightened her embrace as if reluctant to let go.

Do I love her?

"Rey...Have you ever loved another woman after your wife died?".

They're still hugging.

"Early".

Rey took off her hug.

"I've tried to love other women. I think she loves Elina too. But it didn't. He loves me and my treasure. She loves my daughter in front of me. But behind my back she doesn't care about my daughter even hurting her."

"Did Elina ever get close to someone and like him?"

"No. All this time he was only close to Ana's wife Aldo. And you too."

Susan's face was red. There was a sense of pleasure when he heard the words Rey said.

Rey held susan's hand with both hands.

"San..would you still love him even if you were married to your beloved Riko?"

"Why are you asking so?"

"I'm afraid she'll feel like she lost you after you married Riko."

Susan looked sincerely into Rey's eyes.

"Until any time I'll still love him. Whatever my circumstances and status."

"I believe you."

Susan smile.

They spend time together - together.

A week has passed.

After work Susan and Mela drop by a mall near where she works.

Just nyore alone there is no definite purpose.

They walked past a restaurant with a glass wall.

Mela pulled Susan's hand to stop.

Susan turned to Mela. Mela pointed at the pair of men and women who were eating there jokingly.

"That's Riko san?!"

Susan looked at them in silence.

"Who is he?" continued Mela.

"Where do I know," he replied as if he were a fool.

"What if we go there?" continued Susan.

"Are you sure san? Are you gonna hit that woman?"

"Don't be crazy!. Just come and shut up!"

Susan pulled Mela's hand. Mela was worried that Susan would get angry - angry in front of a lot of people.

Susan was standing right beside the table of the man and woman who were in the closet.

"Hay Riko," Susan said casually.

Riko was surprised to see Susan standing next to him.

"Pbu..san.." Riko was wrong.

"Hay.." said to the woman who was with Riko.

Mela didn't expect Susan would do that. She glared at Susan but Susan paid no heed to her best friend.

Riko is no less than her calm attitude with Susan despite knowing that she cheated.

"Yes.i'm Riko's girlfriend. But I'm sorry we ordered this table for both of us!" Answer the woman arrogantly.

"All right then. O yes..Can I know how long you guys have been dating? why didn't you ever tell us?. Even though we've been in office for a long time, don't you consider us friends anymore?"

susan said casually by embracing Mela's shoulders. Mela could only be speechless at the strange attitude of her best friend.

"We've been dating for four months. Why should he tell you!. You'll also get our wedding invitations."

"Well, congratulations to Riko. You will finally get married."

Susan looked at Riko with a murderous look.

Riko who gets such treatment is getting more and more wrong.

"O congratulations, too. Then we'll excuse you. Please enjoy the date, good luck. Da...Rico."

Susan left them while waving her hands.

"San..you are great!. Riko's dead lice."

Susan just kept quiet and kept going.

"San...are you okay? Do you want to cry on my shoulder?. I'm ready to be your back," Mela was sad to see Susan.

"Don't lebay!. I'm fine."

"Are you sure san? You're not angry to see Riko cheating?"

"No."

"Did you love her no more?"

"You think?" Susan asked her tone remained flat.

"I've known for a long time that he cheated. It's just that there's no good time yet."

"Then what are you going to do?"

"none. All I'm gonna do now is go home and be beautiful."

"Are you out of your mind?! wriggling his girlfriend cheated on him but keep it quiet."

"The men of this world are not just one."

After the taxi they were riding drove Mela Susan to ask the driver to turn the direction.

He was crying in the taxi.

The taxi driver was confused to see his passengers crying.

"Non...is non okay?"

Susan didn't answer she kept crying.

"Sir to the way of jewels yes!"

"Non good."

Susan wiped her tears.

He walked into the large and luxurious mansion. Susan didn't come home but Rey.

He wants to meet Elina. Maybe with Elina his heart will be comforted.

But baby, it turns out Elina's not home. The little girl followed Oma Reka out of town.

He sat by Rey's pool.

The aunt who saw Susan grieving became curious and worried. He called his master.

Rey is in a meeting. Hearing what the aunt said about susan, Rey immediately closed the meeting and immediately went home.

In the course of Rey's mind is not careless, she worries.

Rey sat down next to Susan.

Seeing Rey's presence beside her, Susan immediately hugged her and cried.

Rey becomes increasingly confused but she allows Susan to be content with her crying.

"Say what happened!" he said after the girl's cry subsided.

"He betrayed me."

"Where do you know?"

"So we met him with his girlfriend at the restaurant."

Susan told me what she had just seen.

"Cry!. Perhaps by crying your heart will be relieved."

Susan was crying in Rey's arms.

I don't know why Rey's heart ached when she saw the girl crying in front of her.

I'm sorry san. I've known about Aldo for a long time. But Aldo forbade me from telling you.

Rey clutches Susan's body.

He wanted to protect her but this time he had to see her crying because of another man who didn't deserve to be crying.

Rey's heart is hurting.

😭😭😭😭😭😭
