NOT JUST FRIENDS
Episode 240's

Happy reading ....

*****

“I dare you to race with me (I challenge you to race with me).” Fania pointed her index finger at Andrew. “If you win, you can ask anything to me. If I win.... (If you win, you can ask anything from me. But if I win ... ).”

Fania paused her speech

“If I win the race, we separate (But if I win, we split ).”

Andrew's face turned shocked hearing Fania's words just now. Including Reno, two J and Nino as well as Alex who are still near them.

“Are you aware of what you said just now?.” Tanya Andrew looked at Fania with a face of disbelief at the woman he loved.

“Aware! Very conscious! Even already aware, if I have a husband, a man – men who are able to betray the trust of his wife!.”

Andrew nodded in disbelief. “Heart, you put our marriage on a bet? (Dear, you're making our marriage a betting material? ).” Honestly, Andrew now felt his heart was squeezed to hear Fania's words.

“And you put our marriage in the presence of a dancer t*naked!. Which one is the worst? (Which is worse? ).” Fania sharpened her gaze while pointing at Andrew right in her chest.

“Little F, don't talk carelessly. I understand...” Reno tries to mediate between Fania and Andrew, who, if not immediately stopped, will be fatal.

“Engga Kak, lo ga will understand!.” Fania said, without looking at Reno, she kept looking hard at Andrew. “Lo will not understand the feeling of a happy wife waiting for her husband to come home. Who already belain – belain doing treatment, which cut the time of playing outside, but it turns out her husband prefers to squirm the chest of other women!.”

Fania took a breath after a long talk just now with a single breath.

“Do you understand, Brother Ren?. Reluctant! Lo won't understand. All of you!, men will never get it (All of you! Men, will not understand ). ”

Fania said while looking at one by one men who had a close relationship with her.

“Bad club, Heart (Bad Club, Sweetie ). Bad club...” Fania imitates Andrew's words when he asks to be invited to RED. “But from what I saw, you really enjoyed your time there .. Why insist you won't take me there?. Because you're afraid I'm ruining your pleasure, in your place, young, successful and wealthy men's businesses.”

Reno and the two Js felt choked as well hearing Fania's words that spoke with faces full of disappointment. Andrew was the same, there was a pain that felt in his heart to see Fania and hear her speech and how to talk.

“Did I ever restrict you?, hem?.”

Fania swallowed the saliva to hold her bitter every word that she took out of her heart to make her brown bead start to be in tears.

“You just stay to say, if you want to gather with friends – your friends. I understand Nald... You guys need a guy whose name is ‘men time’. Like us women who have ‘girls time’ even we need ‘me time’. But please ... why lie?.”

The stagnant water in Fania's eyes finally escaped slumped to her cheeks.

“I ain't mad... I'm Disappointed! Very ....” Fania pointed to herself. Staring at Andrew for a while then a bitter smile fell on the corner of his lips. “Sorry .... already humiliated you tonight ...”

“You don't need to apologize, Heart .... a - ...”

“I want to go home..” Fania interrupted Andrew who spoke. “ To my family ... thanks for everything.”

Andrew's throat felt choked, his heart felt squeezed very strongly. Fania's last sentence clearly illustrates that Fania is right – really want to split.

“Take it back! (Pull it back! ).” Andrew stops Fania from leaving. “Pull back your words! Pull ...” A tear fell on Andrew's eye. “I beg you... pull back, Heart.”.

Fania just kept quiet, Andrew held her tight.

“Heart, do not ever go from my side (Dear, never go from my side )”

“Listen to your inner voice (Hear your inner voice )”

“Don’t let ego, erode your feelings (Don't let ego erode your feelings )”

“To me ... (On me )”

“Life ends when you stop dreaming (Life ends when you stop dreaming )”

“That’s how my life end, if you leaving .... (My life is over, if you go )”

- Andrew Smith to Fania

        ( Andrew Smith for Fania)

***

“You have right to have a man who can respect your feeling and not wasting your trust (You deserve a man – men who can appreciate your feelings and not waste – trust you ).”

Fania was quite surprised because Andrew was now in front of her. Putting her pride on her knees for an apology from a Fania.

“I'm sorry, if I haven't fully become that – male. But for you to know, I'm trying. I'll do more.”

Andrew looked at Fania in her position still kneeling before the woman he loved.

But this, apologizing to the knees. It is certain that the man who is kneeling is very loving to the woman who has been disappointed.

Okay, any guy could probably do it. There are a lot of people who have done that, right?. Kneel for a word ‘maaf’, for a pardon.

But Andrew?. Andrew Adjieran Smith?!.

“All I ask is just a chance (All I ask for is just a chance ). Just One (Just one ).”

Andrew was still staring at Fania with really – really, in his position. While Fania was still speechless, although well there was actually a sense of unbearable to see Andrew to his knees so.

“You don’t need to love me anymore, if your love was gone to me tonight (You don't need to love me anymore, if indeed your love has been lost to me tonight ). Just let me love you and I show it to you (Let me just love you and I'll show you ). How much I love you, and I don't’t want to lose you (How much I love you and don't want to lose you ).”

‘’Hope it’s lost when you stop believing. And love files when you stop caring.” (Hope is lost when you stop believing. And love fails when you stop caring).’’

“You know?, a relationship will succeed based on mutual trust. And I trust you so much, Nald.”

Fania started talking. Andrew kept looking at her. Listening well – well every word spoken from Fania's lips. Hope the woman he loves is pulling back said – he said who asked to separate indirectly.

Still no one interrupts, not even Reno. Still glued to its place each – each. Spechless (Unable to say - word ).

“I'm disappointed, very. But unfortunately, my love is not that thin.. Build.”

“Engga before you retract word – says you.” Andrew insists.

Fania took a little long breath.

“I'm sorry about you, Nald. But maybe I can't forget the lies you've done.” Andrew nodded with a face that was still hopeful, looking at Fania who was also looking at him. “Build. I retract the word – said I. No need to beg in this way. I need proof, not promise.”

Andrew immediately stood up and hugged Fania tightly, very tightly. “Forgive me (I'm sorry ). Sorry for betraying your trust..” Cupped Fania's face and placed her forehead on Fania's forehead. “But please, never discuss about farewell.”

“But I want to keep racing... and keep betting ...”

“What?!.” Andrew gasped in shock, hearing Fania who remained tight to ask for a race and a bet.

‘Haish, new I breathe a sigh of relief.’ Inner Reno grumbled.

“Next time? (Next time? ).” Refer Andrew please – please worry.

Fania shakes. “No, right now (Enga, now ).” Looked at Andrew with confidence.

Andrew breathed a heavy sigh. “What's the bet?.”

“If you lose, we split the room.” Fania said without hesitation. "If I lose, please ask for anything."

Andrew looked at her for a moment. “Okay, but I don’t want to race with you. I’m not risking your life (Okay, but I don't want to race with you. I don't want to risk your life ).”

“But this is our business.” Sahut Fania's.

“Let this be my business too.”
