Love Between Laughter And Heart Pounding
"Thank you for being so hurt in my heart"

Every time the Son saw Lia, his heart was always pounding. From the first time they met at the cafe where Lia worked, Putra felt that there was something special about the woman. Lia is cheerful, full of warmth, and always welcomes every customer with a genuine smile.

Putra is a talented photographer who is often assigned to capture happy moments at weddings. Every time she came to the cafe to see Lia, her heart was always flowery. She wanted to get closer to Lia, but she felt doubtful and afraid to express her feelings.

They often exchange stories about each other's lives. Lia is a comedian who aspires to be the best in the world, while Putra is a photographer who wants to capture beautiful moments in the lives of others.

However, behind the cheerful smile that Lia had always thrown, the Son could feel that something was hidden by the woman. He saw that there was a hint of sadness hidden behind Lia's smile.

One day, as Putra was visiting the cafe to see Lia, she saw Lia sitting alone in the corner of the cafe with a blank look. Lia tried to hide her feelings, but Putra could feel that something was bothering her heart.

The son approached Lia carefully, "Hi, what happened? Is there something that bothers you?"

Lia smiled, trying to hide her feelings, "Oh, it's okay. I'm just a little tired."

The son knew that Lia's smile was fake. He wanted to know what really happened to that woman. He sat down beside Lia, giving her warmth with his presence.

"Lia, we've known you for a long time, so I know when something is troubling you. You can tell me" said the Son softly.

Lia felt haru with the attention of the Son. He felt that he could trust her. "Actually, something was troubling my mind. I feel sad because lately a lot of shows are not going as expected. I feel like my dream of becoming the greatest comedian is getting further and further away" Lia said truthfully.

The son listened attentively. He could feel the pain behind Lia's fake smile. He wanted to give her the support and strength to face the difficulties.

"Lia, you're an amazing comedian. I believe in your talent and your dreams. Don't let failure stop you. Keep fighting and believe in yourself" said the Son with confidence.

Lia was warm with the Son's words. He felt lucky to have a friend like Son who always gave him support and encouragement.

After the meeting, Putra felt closer to Lia. He wanted to spend more time with that woman. Every time he came to the cafe, he was always looking for Lia's presence.

Meanwhile, the Son's feelings for Lia are growing more than just friends. Every time the two of them exchanged glances or smiled at each other, the Son's heart thumped. He felt that there was something special about the woman.

However, the Son still hesitated to express his feelings. He did not want to disturb his friendship with Lia. She was afraid that if she expressed her feelings, Lia would stay away from her.

One night, while Putra was editing the wedding photos at her residence, she felt disturbed by her deepening feelings for Lia. He felt that he could not continue to keep his own feelings.

The son decided to meet with Suci, Lia's best friend who also became his best friend. He felt that Saints might be able to provide advice and guidance to help him deal with his feelings for Lia.

After telling Saints about his feelings, Saints smiled and clasped the Son's hand. "Son, I could see for a long time that you liked Lia more than just a friend. You must dare to express your feelings," Suci said sincerely.

The son was relieved that Saints supported his decision to express his feelings to Lia. However, he still felt nervous and afraid of the possible outcome.

The next day, Putra visits the cafe where Lia works. He decided that this was the right time to express his feelings. He doesn't want to keep his feelings anymore, because he knows that he wouldn't be happy if he didn't dare to fight for real love.

Lia looks busy serving customers in the cafe. The son sat at the table and waited for an opportunity to talk to Lia.

When Putra approached Lia, she tried to smile even though her heart was pounding. He wanted to look cheerful, but he did not want to show the mixed feelings that were stirring his heart.

"Lia, there's something I want to talk to you about" said the Son in a soft voice.

Lia nodded, showing that she was listening with attention.

Lia looked at the Son with a face full of questions. "What do you mean, Son?"

The son ventured to continue, even though he felt awkward. "I feel there is something more than just friendship between us. I feel a feeling growing inside my heart for you, Lia."

Lia was silent for a moment, shocked to hear the Son's confession. He never expected that the Son had any special feelings for him.

"But, I know that you have feelings for Rico," said the Son in a soft voice, but he couldn't hide a hint of disappointment in his voice.

Lia felt squeezed in confusion. He felt guilty for not being able to feel the same for the Son. Actually, he liked Putra as a friend, but his heart was always on Rico.

"Son, I don't know what to say. I appreciate your feelings, but I already have special feelings for Rico" Lia said sincerely.

The son smiled fakely, trying to hide his disappointment. "Of course, I understand. No problem, Lia. I'm glad to be a part of your life as a friend."

Lia felt guilty seeing that fake smile. He wanted the Son to know how much he valued their friendship and how much he meant to Lia.

"Son, I really appreciate our friendship. You are an amazing friend, and I don't want to lose you" Lia said softly.

The son tried to smile more sincerely this time. "I also appreciate our friendship, Lia. I don't want to lose you as a friend."

Although Putra tried to look happy with this situation, her heart was sad and hurt. She tries to accept the fact that her feelings are unrequited, but she must also try to hide her feelings in order not to disturb their friendship.

As time went on, Putra kept trying to keep her relationship with Lia good. He felt that Lia was a figure that meant a lot to him, even as a friend.

However, her feelings for Lia were never completely gone. Every time he saw Lia happy with Rico, his heart always felt pierced by an inescapable sense of jealousy.

One day, while Putra was at work taking wedding photos out of town, she saw Rico and Lia walking together in the park. They looked so happy, smiling and laughing together.

The son felt his heart ache at the sight. He felt jealous of Rico because he was a man who could make Lia happy, whereas he alone could only hide his feelings and endure jealousy.

After the marriage ended, the Son spent his night in solitude. He felt empty and lonely. He knew that he had to try to let go of his feelings, but his heart could not bear the pain he was feeling.

The next day, Putra returns to town and visits the cafe where Lia works. He saw Lia serving the customer with her genuine smile, and his heart felt warm to see her.

The son realized that he could not continue to hide his feelings. He knew that he had to brave the reality and speak honestly with Lia.

He approached Lia and asked her to speak outside the cafe. Lia nodded, looking at the serious expression on the Son's face.

The two of them sat on a park bench in front of the cafe. The son took a deep breath, seeking the courage to express his feelings once again.

"Lia, I know that my feelings are unrequited. I've tried to hide it and keep our friendship, but it's getting harder for me" said Putra honestly.

Lia looked at the Son with soft eyes. "Son, I appreciate your feelings and your honesty. I know that this is not an easy thing for you," Lia said softly.

The son nodded, feeling relieved because Lia understood his feelings. "I just want you to know, Lia, that I will always be there for you. I'll always be a friend who supports you and is happy to see you happy,"

Lia smiled gently, "Thank you"
