Love Is Rain
Chapters 14. What's my fault, Catherine?

After skipping school for three days, Beverly today came on foot. He deliberately left the home early in the morning after dawn prayers. Mother who was astonished by Beverly's attitude asked. But the girl only replied, if she didn't want to go with Dimas. Mommy does not want to ask further, consider it is only a matter of young people.

He walked with slow steps. Many eyes watched him. Beverly realized that. It must be because of Dimas and Keenan's fight. What's more that day he went straight home, did not continue the lesson until the end.

Arriving at the class, he saw Catherine and immediately smiled. He approached the girl and hugged her as usual.

Catherine let go of his embrace. Beverly became shocked by Cath's attitude.

"Why, Honey? Angry because I didn't go to school for three days, yeah," said Bie.

"Bie, starting today it looks like we should keep our distance."

"Why ....?" beverly said with a trembling voice holding back the cry.

"I don't need to give a reason. It's just that I don't feel comfortable being friends with you right now."

"Not comfortable? Did I make a mistake?" said Bie.

"All our friends are gossiping about us. They say that Keenan and Dimas fought over Lo. It makes me very uncomfortable. You know if Keenan's my girlfriend."

"Enough, Cath. I-I understand. As you asked, I'll stay away from Lo. But one thing you need to remember, until whenever Lo is my best friend. If at this time I'm staying away from Lo, this is all I'm doing for Lo comfort." Bie walked to his seat. Cry broke. He can't help it. Although he knows for sure at this time classmates are watching him.

From her seat Cath glanced at the crying Bie. "I'm sorry, Bie. I have to make this decision. I don't want to separate from Keenan. You're still my best friend." Inner Cath talk.

The break bell rang, Bie went straight to the park without looking at Cath, Dimas what else Keenan. He sat in the corner where he usually was.

Alex, who was also in the park, approached Bie and stood in front of the girl.

"Proof not my words. Cath is not a good friend. All this time Cath wants to be friends with Lo just because of Lo's cleverness. Cath wasn't the best of friends you'd thought. He gave a lot during this time just so that Lo felt indebted to him and wanted to do whatever he wanted."

"Can you leave me alone. I don't want to argue anymore, Lex," said Bie.

"Okay, I just want Lo to open her eyes. Don't keep getting stepped on." Alex then walked away from Bie alone.

What Alex said must be wrong. Alex deliberately wanted to make me hate Cath. I'm sure all of this was just a misunderstanding. I'll explain everything to Cath someday. At this time Cath must only be instigated from the talk of friends.

Dimas approached Bie who was reading a book with tears in his eyes. It looks very sad how he is right now.

"Why are you crying" said Dimas. Bie raised his head to look at Dimas.

"Better you stay away from me." Bie said softly.

"Why ....? What's my fault."

"Lo nothing wrong. What was wrong was only my fate. Why wasn't I born to a full-fledged parent? Why am I not from a capable family? Why am I ...."

Dimas shut Bie's mouth before he continued his words again.

"Never regret fate, Bie. Everything God gives is the best. There are many out there who have fared less fortunate. You are given intelligence, beauty and a sincere heart. Not everyone has that."

"But everything that people do cannot be wrong in the eyes of people. If we're rich even if we make mistakes, it's still right."

"That's just a petty person's thought."

"Lo was angry because I hit Keenan. Or because Lo believes Keenan's words."

"Gue just wants to be alone."

"If that's what you want, fine. For the sake of our friendship, I'll do whatever I want. But I hope Lo still wants to call me if Lo needs any help from me."

"Thank you, Dim."

Dimas walked in slow steps leaving Beverly alone. Back the cry of Bie broke out as Dimas' body had disappeared from his sight.

I'm sorry, Dim. This is what's best for us. I don't want to misunderstand it's getting late.

..............

When he got home from school, Bie stepped out of class quickly. Keenan saw everything from where he was sitting. Cath approached Keenan and brought him home.

While on the way, Keenan sees Bie walking under the hot sun. He seems to wipe away sweat occasionally. Keenan slowed down the speed of his car. His eyes continued to look towards Bie.

Cath who was astonished to see Keenan slowed down the way the car looked towards the eyes Keenan looked at. It looked like Bie was walking with relaxed steps.

"Don't be surprised, Bie is a strong girl. He's used to walking. At the beginning of school he also did so," Cath said.

Hearing Cath's voice, Keenan regained consciousness and drove his car at high speed.

"Slow down, Keen," Cath said.

"You can take a taxi. I have a need. Just this once."

"Where are you going, Keen."

"I just remembered an appointment. Later in the afternoon I will pick you up. We go have a drink to the cafe."

"Alright, don't lie anymore. I'm waiting for you this afternoon."

Cath got out of the car and stopped a passing taxi. After the taxi Cath was riding away, Keenan turned his car back towards the direction Bie was walking.

From a distance he noticed all the movements of Bie. The girl sat in the garden chair. He took a bottle and swallowed it.

After his thirst was gone, Bie continued his path. Without realizing it Keenan followed in his footsteps.

Bie stopped when he saw two children busking. Bie then followed the boy to sing at the red light. Without shame and shame.

After earning money from street users, Bie and the two boys sat by the side of the road.

After chatting for a while with the two buskers, Bie continued his path.

This is my life, from today I will never depend on anyone. Do not believe too much, do not love too much, do not expect too much, because too much will hurt so much too.The more we expect too much other than God, then get ready to be more disappointed.Don't expect too much from others. Sometimes they don't exist when you need them, and you have to be a hero to yourself.
