Married to My Friend's Fiancee
Pair of hands

Leonard immediately hugged Velia to calm her down, Velia herself did not refuse the hug. He still blames himself for lying to Alana, his best friend.

"Already Vel! If you're cured, we'll meet Alana to apologize to her!" Said Leonard who managed to make Velia a little quieter than before.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Since that day, Leonard has never left Velia alone in the hospital. Velia's weakened condition still has to get intensive care in the hospital.

He was always pensive, he regretted that he had lied to Alana about his illness. Even so, he also already knew that all this would happen to him.

One night when Velia was sitting alone in her nursery. Leonard came with a porridge that he deliberately bought from outside earlier. Yeah, Leonard went for a while to buy food for him. She had always accompanied Velia throughout her time in the care, it was because of the love in her heart for Velia.

"Vel, eat first, I'll bring you some porridge!" Leonard said as he looked towards Velia who was focusing on the scene outside from her treatment spot.

"Why are you still good to me? I lied to you!" Velia said without looking at Leonard, she wanted to talk things over to Leonard. Given that he has no one now, it makes him confused who to tell again. Alana who had never come to see him in the hospital.

Leonard put the porridge he brought to the nightstand by his bedside, "Vel, listen to me!" Leonard turned Velia's body to face her, "I know, everyone must have a secret! And it must have its own purpose why the secret must be hidden, you for example!" Leonard took a breath to continue saying, "I know you're hiding this because you don't want to make me and Alana worry!! Don't blame yourself too much!" Leonard advised Velia at length.

Velia sighed to answer Leonard's words, it was in fact true with what Leonard had said to her.

"Thank you for letting me breathe with relief, after all I've been plagued with this guilt!" Velia said to Leonard.

Leonard who heard that immediately smiled, he could finally make Velia not worry so much about what had happened. Let alone looking at Velia, the person she loved was smiling again even though it was only faint.

"Vel, then what about the continuation of your relationship with-" said Leonard cut short by what was said by Velia.

"Don't say his name! I don't want to remember it anymore! I realized that all this time I loved the wrong people! He didn't even want to see me at all, and I'm here because of him!" Velia sighed harshly then resumed her words, "I'll end my relationship with her, and begin to close my heart for her!" Velia said at the end of her speech.

Leonard didn't answer what Velia said. Her heart was happy, because Velia also turned out to be aware of her feelings for Robert who in fact only used Velia alone. Leonard looked happy listening to Velia's words earlier. That means there is still a chance for him to be in love with Velia.

"Hopefully this decision you made is right Vel!" Leonard said as he stroked Velia's head gently, while smiling at Velia.

"I love Robert, but I realize he doesn't really love me! He was just using me, how foolish I was to waste my time for a man who never even thought I existed!" Inner Velia with all her regrets.

The more days Velia gets closer to Leonard, even Velia can feel that her broken heart has now been treated by the presence of Leonard in his life.

"Leonard, thank you for always being there for me! I'm sorry I accused you of hurting Robert!" Said Velia regretfully. While Leonard who heard that smiled, he felt happy because finally Velia no longer hated or stayed away from him.

"It's Vel, it's all over, let's forget about yesterday! Now let's think about how to persuade Alana to forgive us!" Leonard.

Velia frowned confused by Leonard's words just now, "You mean us? Hasn't Alana forgiven you for what happened?!" Velia asked confusedly, she indeed did not understand, because she was too busy with her relationship with Robert back then. Until she doesn't know if Alana has forgiven Robert or not.

Leonard scratched his unscratchy nape while thinking for a moment, "Yes, he has already forgiven me, but maybe because he knows you lied to him so he recalls my mistake the other day!" Leonard replied that it was not nice to say it, but it was true that Alana must still be angry about the lies of Velia and Leonard.

After listening to Leonard's words just now, Velia suddenly lowered her head sadly, she felt guilty, "I'm sorry for making you so involved in being angry by Alana!" Velia said softly as she lowered her head.

Leonard who could not bear to see the sad Velia decided to approach her to calm Velia down, "That's not what I mean by Vel! But you take it easy, I'm sure Alana will definitely forgive us both! I'm sure of it!!" Replied Leonard who was able to make Velia smile and excited again.

Their closeness was intertwined, even Velia had thought that she would ask Leonard's feelings for him. But he paused that intention because maybe this was still too soon for Velia.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

On Alana's side, she never once visited Velia after that day. His heart still hurts because he was lied to by his own best friend.

That day he sat in the campus garden alone while reading a book. It's been a few days since Leonard didn't go in because he was keeping Velia in the hospital.

"Am I being too selfish?" Lirih Alana who suddenly daydreams about her two best friends. Then a second later he sighed violently.

"That's it!" He said, closing the book. Just as he was about to get up from his seat, suddenly there was a pair of hands that closed both eyes. Just a moment to make Alana surprised and immediately stood up from her seat by shaking off that hand. Alana's eyes were round to see who had closed her eyes.
