Love Is Rain
Chapters 10. Like a Stranger

Beverly took two days off from school due to illness. This morning Dimas came to pick me up. Bie tells Dimas that he can go to school again today.

"You had a fight with Keenan?" ask Dimas on his way to school.

"No, Dim. Why do you think so."

"People who are dating will definitely worry if their lover is sick. But Keenan won't when I take him to Lo's place."

"Maybe Keenan's busy."

"You don't believe me."

"Dim ..." - Beverly.

"Sometimes sharing grief will be able to reduce the burden on the heart" murmured Dimas.

"We broke up" Beverly said.

"Because of Catherine ...."

"Lo knows all that, Dim. You know that Catherine loves Keenan too."

"Yes ... Catherine told me."

"Why didn't you ever say that. If I had known, I wouldn't have accepted Keen's love and no heart would have been hurt" Beverly said with tears beginning to fall down her cheeks.

"Gue knows after you guys date. I'm afraid Lo will make a decision to part ways if she finds out Catherine loves Keenan. It turns out that my guess is right. Why did Lo break up? You should be honest with Catherine. Why should you sacrifice your own love and happiness?"

"Gue can't. You know how good Catherine is, not only with me but also with sisters. My sacrifice is nothing compared to Catherine's kindness so far. Papi Cath is also a permanent donor in the orphanage. Papi Cath is our lifeline at the parlor. Do I have the heart to hurt her when Catherine has helped me and my sisters a lot?"

"Gue didn't know what to say. But this decision you make will kill you slowly. You're like a candle, willing to burn itself to light others."

They did not feel like they were in the school parking lot. Dimas gave her a handkerchief.

"Remove your tears. If you see another friend it will be a rumor."

"Thank you, Dim."

"Bie ..." call Dimas before Beverly gets out of her car.

"Gue hope Lo do not be surprised and sad, at this time Catherine and Keenan are getting closer. Cath seemed to have told Keenan everything. They came home yesterday."

"Gue's fine, Dim. I'm glad they finally got it. Keenan and Catherine were more suitable because their social status was the same."

"True love will not see any difference."

"But still the possibility of unification is small. Families especially parents would definitely be against."

"Gue hope you'll never regret the decision you've made."

Dimas and Beverly get out of the car to coincide with Keenan who also just got out of his car.

Dimas and Bie smile with Keenan but the guy doesn't return the favor, he walks if they don't know each other.

"I'm sorry, Dim."

"Why do you apologize" said Dimas.

"Because of me, Keenan is also an enemy of Lo. You better start tomorrow you don't have to pick me up and stay away from me." Bie says with a bow. He held back the tears that wanted to come out.

...........

The first lesson begins. Catherine who arrived late still welcome the teacher to sit. No one would dare punish him because he was one of the sons of the shareholders in the school.

The break bell rings. Keenan left class without looking at Bie.

"Bie, not to the cafeteria," asked Catherine to approach Beverly.

"First it out."

"Okay, Keenan is waiting for me. Tomorrow afternoon I'll buy Lo. All you ask me to buy. Thank you, because I made it yesterday with Keenan. I love Lo." Catherine kissed Beverly's cheeks before dropping out of the classroom.

"Will not go to the cafeteria?" ask Dimas.

"Gue bring the provisions."

"Will you can do it later. Go to the canteen now."

"Gue's still not feeling well. I also want to learn. Go to the canteen."

"Lo's okay?"

"I mean Lo."

"Lo instead of avoiding Keenan and Catherine, right."

"Why should I avoid it? I also wish they were. Go to the canteen there. I'm going to the park."

Beverly picked up supplies and books. He walked away from Dimas alone. Beverly wasn't you lingering with Dimas, because he wouldn't be able to lie if Dimas asked.

Beverly had indeed avoided Keenan. He's not ready to meet that guy. He realized everything that had been done hurt that guy.

Beverly chose to sit on the corner of the park bench. He wants to be alone. Opening of textbooks.

The item he was carrying was still intact in the bag. Just put it next to him sitting. Although the book is in the hand, but his eyes glare somewhere.

Alex, who happened to be in the park, came to him.

"Gue thought Lo was dating am Keenan. Apparently Catherine. Very happy friend Lo it. He treats all his classmates because they are just Keenan. But why are you alone here. You're not happy Cath's dating Keen? Do you like Keenan too?" alex said with a mocking smile.

"It's not Lo's business. I'm glad my best friend is. We've been celebrating. You won't understand how our friendship is."

"Lo thinks I don't know what's going on. Lo actually likes Keenan too but relents for Cath. Good friend, dear Cath is not a sensitive friend. Time doesn't know if Lo and Keenan like each other. One schoolgirl just knew you liked each other, so it was a shock when Cath said that she was dating Keenan."

"Lo's wrong. Me and Keenan never liked each other. Don't slander. If Cath hears she can misunderstand."

"Whatever Lo said. I'm not stupid. I knew Lo and Keenan had actually been together but broke up because of Cath. Continue to be a foolish woman, who thinks that your sacrifice will be rewarded. Let's see, Cath will soon forget about Lo."

Alex leaves Beverly alone again. He thought back to Alex.

Cath will never forget our friendship.

"Hi, daydream. I'm looking for a class that doesn't exist."

Catherine patted Beverly on the shoulder, making the girl shocked.

"Cath ...."

"Why not go to the cafeteria. I and Keenan were waiting for Lo earlier. Come here for a minute." Cath waved her hand asking Keenan to come closer. Keenan seemed to have to walk towards them.

"Bie, we're done. I and Keenan want to invite Lo and Dimas to dinner together. You come tonight to restaurant X, let me ask Dimas to pick you up."

"Congratulations, dear. I must have come." Beverly hugged Cath.

"Udah, go to our class again" Keenan asked.

"OKAY. You want to go to class too?" ask Cath.

"First time. I want to eat."

"Alright, Honey. Don't like being alone, you'll be kidnapped by cool guys." Catherine pinched Bie's nose slowly. After that go by clasping Keenan's hand, leaving Bie alone in the park.
