The Son's heart was broken behind the smile he showed Lia. He tried his hardest to hide his hurt feelings so as not to make Lia feel guilty or uncomfortable. Every fake smile he gave off felt like a heavy pressure pressing down on his chest.
After talking to Lia, Putra felt her heart getting heavier. Although Lia valued her feelings and tried to understand them, it still remained that those feelings had not changed. Lia still loves Rico, and that is a reality that is hard to accept for the Son.
The son felt like there was a black hole in his heart that was deepening. He reflected on how different they felt. For Lia, Rico is a man who can make her happy, while for her, Lia is someone who is so meaningful and irreplaceable.
Every time the Son saw Lia happy with Rico, he felt as if a thorn had pierced his heart. He wants Lia to be happy, but he also wants her to be the one who can make Lia happy.
Anxiety and anxiety began to haunt him. The son tries to get away from Lia to give her space and time to improve her own feelings. She did not want to be a burden to Lia and ruin her friendship.
However, the more he tried to stay away, the harder he felt for Lia. Whenever he tried to think of anything else, Lia's face always appeared in his mind. He felt like he could not let go of that pent-up love.
One day, Rico invites Lia to have dinner together at a romantic restaurant. The son accidentally saw the two of them walking holding hands. His heart rippled and it felt like something was breaking the heart of the deepest part.
The son knew that it was time for them to become lovers. Lia is the woman Rico loves, and that's the truth. The son felt like the third person in the story, and his heart was breaking even more.
He tried to calm himself down and told himself that he had to accept this fact. The son knows that love is not always about having someone, but also about giving happiness and supporting the happiness of the person we love.
With slow steps, the Son tried to get away from the two men. Every encounter with Lia was getting harder for him. The Son's heart was broken, but he had to face this reality firmly.
One afternoon, the Son sat alone in the garden, staring at the twilight sky. His cries broke just like that, and he felt a deep sense of loss and loneliness. The Son's heart felt empty without Lia present in it.
The son felt grateful to have had Lia as a friend and part of his life. However, her heart felt full of loss because she could not have Lia's love completely.
Increasingly, the Son began to look for ways to heal his heart. He tried to focus on his job as a photographer and fill his free time with hobbies. He talked to his friends and sought support from those closest to him.
Although his heart was still wounded, the Son knew that this was part of life. He must accept this reality and learn from the experience he has experienced. His love for Lia may not be reciprocated, but Putra feels that he has grown and become stronger after going through this pain.
Meanwhile, Lia realized that the Son had changed little by little. His once cheerful face now looked even more serious. He felt that something was wrong with the Son, but the Son kept his feelings well hidden.
Lia felt guilty because she did not know what was really going on with the Son. He wanted to help his friend, but he also did not want to interfere in his personal life.
One day, while Putra was working in a cafe, Lia decided to talk to her friend. "Son, there's something I want to tell you. I feel like you're hiding something" Lia said softly.
The son was surprised to hear Lia's words. She never intended to hide her feelings, but she also did not want to make Lia feel guilty.
"Lia, I'm fine. Don't worry about me" replied the Son with a fake smile.
Lia shook her head, "No, I know something is wrong. We're friends, and I care about you."
The son fell silent for a moment, pondering whether he should express his feelings to Lia. However, he decided to remain silent. He did not want to make their relationship complicated by expressing his unrequited feelings.
The son was relieved that Lia did not continue to insist on knowing the problem. She knows that Lia is a caring friend and only wants to help her if she needs support.
But the heart of the Son remains heavy. She felt a deep sadness and emptiness due to her feelings for the unrequited Lia. Every time he saw Lia with Rico, he felt like he had been pierced by a sharp knife. But she tried to stay firm and smiled in front of Lia, hiding her inner wounds well.
A few weeks passed, and the Son grew stronger in the face of his complicated feelings. He focuses on his work and lives his life as best he can. Although her heart is still hurting, she learns to accept reality and come to terms with her feelings.
Meanwhile, Rico and Lia are getting closer as a couple. They often spend time together, laughing, and sharing wonderful moments together. The son saw the happiness that emanated from Lia's face while with Rico, and although his heart ached, he felt happy because his friend was happy.
One day, the Son meets Suci, Lia's best friend, at a cafe. The saint looked at the Son attentively and asked, "How are you, Son? I know there's something you're dealing with."
The son smiled gently at Saints, feeling gratitude because he felt he could talk to an understanding friend. "I'm fine, Saints. I was just going through a complicated feeling that I had a hard time meeting" he said honestly.
The saint nodded, "I understand, Son. But you have to remember, love is not always easy. Sometimes we have to let go and let our loved ones be happy with others."
The Son listened carefully to the Holy Word. He felt like he had gotten wise advice from Lia's best friend. Although her heart was still hurting, she knew that she had to accept it and tried to be happy with what she had now.
Time passed, and the Son lived his life with courage. She learns to accept her unrequited feelings and focus on her friendship with Lia. Despite the sadness that haunts her, she knows that she must remain grateful for their friendship.
One day, Son and Lia were sitting in the garden, as they often did. They talked about things and laughed together. The son was delighted that he could still spend time with Lia, even though it was not the way he wanted it to be.
"Lia, I'm happy to see you happy with Rico" said the son sincerely.
Lia smiled gratefully, "Thank you, Son. I'm happy with her."
The son nodded and smiled, hiding the bitter feeling behind his smile. He knew that this was a feeling he had to face on his own, and he had to try to stay strong.
As dusk began to greet, Lia stood up and touched the Son's shoulder affectionately, "You are the best friend I can have, Son. I'm lucky to have you in my life."
The son smiled warmly, feeling moved by Lia's words. He felt that their friendship was a valuable and meaningful thing to him.
"We'll always be friends, Lia. I will always support you and want to see you happy" said the Son with sincerity.
Lia nodded gently, "Sama-sama, Son. You're always in my heart."
The night was getting late, and the two of them walked home together. Although the Son's heart was still wounded, he knew that their friendship would always mean a lot to him.
Her complicated and hurt feelings may not change, but Putra promises to remain Lia's best friend. He would always be there for her, supporting her, and giving her a fake smile behind her broken heart. Because in the Son's heart, Lia was someone so meaningful and irreplaceable, even though her feelings of love could not be reciprocated.
