Love Between Laughter And Heart Pounding
" Love Shouldn't Have"

The next day, Putra carefully contacted Lia and invited her to meet at the same cafe. He hopes to express his intention to get closer to her first as a friend, without any pressure or excessive expectations.

When they met, an awkward atmosphere was still felt between them. However, with a smile and a warm greeting, the awkwardness began to erode. They sat in a cozy corner of the cafe, and Putra started the conversation with gentleness.

"Lia, I want to know more about you. We've just known each other, and I feel there's still a lot I need to know" said the son honestly.

Lia smiled, feeling pleased with the sincerity of the Son. "I also want to know more about you, Son. What made you interested in photography?"

Son is passionate about his love and passion for photography. She tells how she began to take an interest in photography from childhood, and how she realized that through photography, she could express her feelings and see the world with a unique perspective.

Lia was fascinated to hear the Son's story, and she felt like she had found something special in the man. The depth of the Son's passion and seriousness in photography shows that he is someone who has a dream and the determination to achieve it.

Meanwhile, Putra also wanted to know more about Lia. She asks about how Lia started her career as a comedian and what inspired her to continue her comedy.

Lia enthusiastically recounts her journey in the world of comedy. He tells the story of funny and unique moments in his life that inspired him to create fresh and entertaining comedy material. The son laughed loosely listening to Lia's jokes, and he felt increasingly enamored by the woman's cheerfulness.

The conversation was both natural and pleasant. They laughed, shared stories, and found many similarities between them. Every second they spend together reinforces their feeling that they have a special connection.

After speaking for quite a while, the Son felt that this was the right time to declare his intention. He wanted to tell Lia that he wanted to get closer to her, not just as an acquaintance, but as a friend.

"Lia, I really enjoyed the time we spent together. I want to be closer to you, not just as an acquaintance, but as a friend" said the Son sincerely.

Lia looked a little surprised, but her smile showed that she appreciated the honesty of Son. "I also want to be closer to you, Son. I feel comfortable around you."

The son was happy to hear Lia's reply. He felt that their relationship had stepped in a more positive direction. However, he also wanted to make it clear that he did not want to take a step too quickly.

"How about we make friends first? I want to get to know you better, without any pressure or hope" said the Son cautiously.

Lia nodded in agreement, "I agree, Son. I also want to get to know you as a friend first."

Their agreement made the atmosphere between them even more relaxed.

The son and Lia talked about their interests and hobbies, finding many similarities between them. They laugh together, share funny stories, and support each other in warm conversations.

In the weeks that followed, Putra and Lia met more and more. They became close friends and shared everything. They often visit the little cafe together, spend time alone in the city park, or take a walk in the shopping center.

Every meeting, the Son always carries his camera. He wanted to capture the beautiful moments with Lia. Every photo she took, Lia's smile was always in the bright spotlight.

In that togetherness, the Son and Lia knew each other more deeply. They share stories about the past, life experiences, and future dreams. The son realized that behind Lia's cheerful smile, there was an incredible story of struggle and fortitude. While Lia is increasingly fascinated by the sincerity and dedication of the Son to photography and his dreams.

However, behind their pleasant togetherness, the Son also felt that there were obstacles that needed to be faced. Feelings that are more than just friendship begin to grow in the Son's heart, and he feels that it is time to express his feelings.

One night, as they sat together under the starlight in the city park, the Son felt his determination getting stronger. He wanted to express his feelings to Lia. Although she was afraid of rejection, she knew that she had to be honest and reveal what was in her heart.

"Lia," said the Son softly, "I want to talk to you about my feelings."

Lia turned to him with a attentive look, "Sure, Son. What do you want to say?"

Lia was silent for a moment, her facial expression mixed. The son could see there was a feeling of confusion and surprise within his eyes. However, Lia wisely gave room for the Son to continue.

The son continued cautiously, "But I also understand that you are not ready to accept my feelings. I just want you to know what's in my heart. I'm ready to wait, Lia. Whatever your decision is, I'll respect it."

Lia smiled bitterly, "Son, I. I appreciate your honesty. I feel comfortable and happy with you. But I'm not sure how I feel. I'm afraid to fall in love again after the hurt I've had."

The son clasped Lia's hand tenderly, "I see, Lia. And I don't want to urge you. I will remain there for you, as a friend and listener. I want you to know that I'm ready to support you in whatever your decision is."

Lia smiled, relieved by the Son's understanding. He felt lucky to have a friend like the Son who was so understanding and patient.

That night, they sat side by side under the stars, with no words to say. They understand each other and feel each other's presence peacefully.

In the weeks that followed, their relationship continued as before. The son and Lia remained close friends, and they gave each other support and warmth. Every moment they spend together strengthens their bond of friendship.

The son is not discouraged. He chose to cherish their friendship and remain kind and considerate towards Lia. She learns to accept the fact that love sometimes takes time to grow and develop.

In the course of their friendship, Son and Lia continue to create fond memories together. They travel together, visit interesting places, and share similar hobbies. Every time they are together, the Son feels happy because Lia is the source of joy and warmth in his life.

However, there are times where the Son feels depressed with his unrequited feelings. She feels jealous when she sees Lia laughing with another friend, and her heart is often filled with questions about whether she will ever love him as she hoped.

One day, the Son decided to talk to an older and wiser friend about his feelings. He felt the need to gain a more objective perspective on their situation.

"He was my best friend, but I loved him more than that. I don't know what to do" said the Son with a heavy heart.

His friend smiled wisely, "Son, love does not always go in the same direction. However, that doesn't mean that your feelings are meaningless. Love is beautiful and unique. It is not limited to romantic status. If Lia is someone important to you, let that love blossom in its own time and path."

The son pondered over the words of his friend, and he realized that he should not impose his feelings on Lia. He had to remain patient and give time for Lia to reflect on her own feelings.

With a more relieved heart, Putra changed her approach towards Lia. He chose to remain as a friend, without any more pressure or expectations. She promised herself to always support Lia, both as a friend and as someone who was always there for her.

Time passed, and their relationship grew stronger. Son and Lia go through many adventures together and give each other support in every phase of their lives. The son felt that even though his feelings were unrequited, Lia's presence in his life was a precious gift.

One night, as they sat by the lake, the Son felt that this was the right time to express his gratitude for their friendship.

"Lia, I want you to know that I feel very lucky to have a friend like you. You are the most meaningful person in my life, and I will never doubt the privilege of our relationship" said the Son sincerely.

Lia smiled warmly, "Thank you, Son. I feel lucky to have a friend like you. You're always there for me, and I really appreciate every moment we've spent together."

The son clasped Lia's hand tenderly, "When I first met you at the cafe, I felt that there was something special. Although my feelings are more than friendship, I know that love has many forms and meanings. So, whatever form it takes, I'm grateful to have you in my life."

Lia nodded with a smile, "I am also grateful to have a friend as good as you, Son. We don't know what the future holds, but I do believe that we have a strong and special bond."

In the bright moonlight, the Son and Lia looked at each other with gratitude and happiness. They know that their friendship will continue to grow and develop, and that feelings of love and happiness can come in many forms.

As time goes on, the Son learns to accept his feelings and let them develop in a timely manner. He understands that love is not about having, but about giving and receiving sincerely. Their beautiful friendship proves that true love does not always have to be romantic, but can grow in a deeper and meaningful form.
