Pursuing the Love of Rhea
48. We Break Up

Today is 9:15 p.m. Azka, Alex and Dhafi are sitting in Alex's family room waiting for Gavin's arrival. Tonight the four of them along with several other basketball members will throw a farewell party for Gavin at a nightclub.

" Whoi...Lex! Call me Gavin! No crap about him from earlier."

Azka snorted in annoyance because Gavin had not yet appeared to pick the three of them up.

" Wait a moment! No patience bet Lo!" Alex glances at Azka briefly and resumes playing the game on his phone.

As the three of them were busy playing with their cell phones, the sound of Gavin's car was heard from outside the house.

" Long live the child!" Azka smiled happily and immediately walked out toward Gavin. While Alex and Dhafi just follow where Azka went without commenting at all.

" Where are you going, Vin? The three of us were waiting for Lo!" Azka looked at Gavin with annoyance as Gavin was already standing before her.

" Sorry, I overslept so I was late." Gavin looked at Azka casually while playing the car keys in his hand.

" The Azka is waiting for Lo! We both just relaxed from that." Alex from behind. Alex and Dhafi smiled mockingly at Azka who seemed to want to quickly go to that place.

" Fuck Lo!" Azka glared at him both fiercely.

" The hunt is out! Remember, bro, you don't go to the mabok. We have practice tomorrow." Dhafi reminds his three best friends especially of Azka and Alex.

" Sip, calm down, bro! I will not forget!" Azka lifted one thumb and smiled at her three best friends. While Alex also smiled and embraced Azka's shoulder tightly. The two of them will be compact when it comes to the world that night.

Gavin and Dhafi could only shake their heads at the behavior of their two best friends. Then they all finally boarded Gavin's car, heading to where the farewell was held.

Rhea: "Dudahan dong nangis her Sha! Ntar Lo's eyes are swollen Lo!"

Shasa: "Hiks..biarin only! I'm sad to know Rhee. I'm heartbroken."

Rhea: "I've said before, don't like Rafka. Lo aja ngeyel, still like him."

Shasa: "it's about Rhee's feelings...Hiks.n't be set-up like that."

Rhea: "Oh that's it. Now you have to move on Sha. Later I say brother Gavin deh, make know Lo same one of the basketball children. Who knows if someone has fallen for it."

Shasa: "May I Rhee. Our school basketball kids are pretty good. I now want to try to make Rafka lupain bang from my heart.hiks.."

Rhea: "Yee.ni the cry boy again. I will also teach you a lesson about Rafka. Her bravery makes my best friend so heartbroken gini."

Shasa: "Don't Rhee. Later if bang Rafka knows I like him how. I'd be embarrassed to see him again."

Rhea: "Okay, I'm not gonna teach her a lesson. But do not cry anymore! Ntar Lo is worse loh!"

Shasa: "Fuck Lo. I wouldn't be so ugly if I just cried."

Rhea: "Pede really Lo Sha! Yes, I am dead on the phone. I'm tired of this, I want to take a break."

Shasa: "Eat it don't keep going. So tired of Lo now."

Rhea: "I'm not tired of going the same way, Gavin said yes. But I'm tired of horrin Lo venting while crying."

Shaha: "The basic tenen do not know bales budi Lo ya. Lo do not want to ever vent also the same me while crying."

Rhea: "When? I don't want to."

Shasa: "Don't forget to! You were also once heartbroken with Gavin. Who tried that time to be the comfort of Lo who was upset if not me."

Rhea: "Yes, the beautiful and kind lady of Shasa. Thank you very much, you've always been there for me."

Shasa: "Yes, same. Yes, rest there! You have basketball practice tomorrow, right?"

Rhea: "Tau aja Lo. I'll rest up, Sha. Don't cry anymore, okay!!"

Shasa: "okay. Bye bye Rhee.."

Rhea: "Bye bye also Sha...

Tut's..

When the phone call from Shasa ended, Rhea immediately let out a tired sigh. Rhea felt sorry for the fate of her best friend's romance. Of so many guys scattered on the face of this earth, why should bang Rafka who became the first love for Shasa.

As Rhea was about to prepare for a break, there was the sound of her bedroom door being knocked from outside.

Tok.dok..

" Rhee...Can't you come in?" It turns out Rafka is knocking on Rhea's room door all night.

" Into the bang!" Rhea let Rafka in, then leaned her body on the bed back to make it more comfortable.

Rafka then enters and chooses to sit on the bench near Rhea's study table.

" Sa Shasa was your phone, huh, Rhee?" Rafka had eavesdropped on the conversation between Rhea and Shasa on the phone. So he wanted to be sure of what he heard earlier.

" Why do you know? Brother was talking to Shasa on the phone, huh?" Rhea sneered at Rafka who was shameless about eavesdropping on other people's conversations.

" Sister didn't mean that Rhee. But your voice was clearly behind the door. So you didn't intentionally beat me up!" Rafka scratches his head that does not itch because of the wrong behavior with Rhea's gaze on him.

" That means you're listening to everything?" Ask Rhea to make sure.

" Yes." Yeah." Rafka answered briefly while nodding her head full of confidence.

" When did Shasa like Brother, Rhee?" Ask Rafka curiously. Rafka has always considered Shasa to be like his own sister just like Rhea. So she did not expect Shasa to hold any more feelings for her.

" Since Junior High. No matter what you do not realize, how did Shasa look at you? Or brother pretending to bego, so he can continue to play the feelings of people's children?" Rhea crossed her arms in front of her chest while looking at Rafka with dislike.

" So I don't know Rhee. The vow! The brother thought he was his own grandfather. If you know, there is no way Dong Abang can tell him about the person you like."

Rafka explains vividly about what she feels for Shasa. He didn't want Shasa to misunderstand their closeness all along.

" Okay, if bang Rafka doesn't know. But I hope, after this incident, you still behave as usual with Shasa. I'll find him a guy too. So I'm sure, shasa will slowly be able to escape his joy to Brother."

Rhea gave a slow snort, then looked back at Rafka who was bowed languidly regretting the words she had made to Shasa earlier this afternoon. Rhea could see the regret that emanated from the eyes and look of Rafka's face. So Rhea didn't want to blame her brother anymore about all these problems.

Rhea then put her body on the bed and pulled the blanket to the chest.

" Yes, you go out first." Rafka approached Rhea and rubbed her sister's head with affection.

" Remember bang, treat Shasa as you normally would! Don't let him realize that you already know how he feels. Ntar he away me also again because of shame his love in reject same brother." Rhea reminded.

" Yes bawel! Rest there. Night deck." Rafka walks out after turning off Rhea's room light.

" Hmm.." Rhea muttered a little and closed her eyes to fall asleep. Rhea wanted the next day to be fit again to undergo the routine as usual.

While Rafka who had come out of Rhea's room, chose to go straight back to her room. Rafka also wants to rest her tired body. Rafka hopes to forget for a moment the regret she felt for Shasa over the incident earlier this afternoon. Rafka wants his relationship with Shasa to go as normal as ever again.

" Lo don't stay in the team, Vin?" Ask one of the basketball team members who attended Gavin's farewell event tonight. They are all currently gathered on the second floor of a famous night club in Jakarta.

" I'm not nyesel. I now have a greater responsibility to help my father in the company. So I hope you'll all support my decision."

Gavin looked at all the basketball team members present tonight seriously. He does have to give up basketball, so he can focus more on his current goals.

" We're all going to support Lo Vin!" Alex smiled happily as he raised his drinking glass to bring all his friends toast.

All of Gavin's friends who saw Alex's action did the same. They also lift the glass and then do the tos with their respective glasses.

They all wish Gavin all the best. And they hope Gavin will be successful in the future.

" Lo all on don't come down here!" Azka was busy enjoying music while occasionally chugging her drink.

The sound of music that was so loud and very excited made Azka want to go downstairs to join ngedance with others.

" That's fine!" Some friends from the basketball team immediately stood up and took Azka and Alex down. While Gavin and Dhafi chose to stay on their bench because they did not like the crowd too much.

As they were all coming down the stairs, Azka suddenly stopped Alex and pointed at someone she knew very well.

" Lex, isn't that Felice?" Ask Azka to make sure. Azka had not felt too drunk to be able to distinguish the people she knew from others.

" Where?" Alex follows Azka's hand and sharpens his gaze in the slightly dark room. Alex can see a girl he knows very well being alone with a guy he doesn't know at all.

" Dammit!!" Alex's jaw instantly hardened with anger. Alex clenched his hands together and immediately rushed down from the stairs. He saw with his own eyes that Felicia was making out with someone else. Making his blood immediately boil seeing the behavior of his girlfriend.

" Patience Lex!" Azka tries to restrain Alex's movements by holding her best friend's arm. But with Alex's powerful strength, Azka is unable to hold her best friend back.

" Ooohhh.so this is what Lo said there was a family event." Alex stood before Felicia while looking at Felicia with disdain then looked at the guy next to the girl with a hostile look.

Felicia instantly released herself from the man's embrace upon seeing Alex's sudden arrival. He had not expected to meet Alex at a place like this.

" Lex.gue can be clear. He's just..." Alex raised his hand to stop Felicia from speaking.

" I don't need an explanation from a cheap girl like you. My eyes are not blind, see what you do this time. So we broke up!"

Alex has no interest at all in prolonging his troubles with Felicia. So Alex immediately left the girl and went straight back to the second floor where they were sitting. Azka also followed her best friend without commenting at all.

" Lex. I'm sorry! Hicks..." Felicia cried sobbing while holding Alex's arm.

" Let me be a jerk!!" Alex brushed Felicia's hand off her arm and pushed the girl violently. It made Felicia fall to the floor quite hard.

" Lo can't be soft on a girl ha!" The guy who was with Felicia yelled at Alex loudly. He helped Felicia stand up and embrace the girl's shoulder.

When Alex heard the man's words, he immediately approached the two to teach them a lesson they would never forget.

Azka, who knew the bad temperament Alex, immediately blocked his friend and immediately pulled Alex to where they were sitting.

" Lo look out for both!" Alex pointed at the two fiercely and then turned towards the top floor.

When Alex was already sitting next to Gavin and Dhafi, he immediately poured his drink into the glass and immediately gulped down the drink quickly.

" Dammit!!" Alex squeezed the glass in his hand and slammed it hard on the floor.

Gavin and Dhafi who do not know anything, immediately gasped with Alex's actions. As the two of them look at Alex's unfriendly face, they glance at Azka who must know the reason why Alex suddenly became emotional like that.

" He saw Felicia again with the other guy downstairs." As if you know the meaning of the gaze of his two friends, Azka explained a little what happened to Alex earlier.

Gavin and Alex compactly shook their heads in disbelief at Azka's remarks. While Alex could only rub his face violently in frustration.

Alex and Felicia have been dating for over a year now. During their relationship, the two of them never fought each other. It's what keeps Alex from thinking about why Felicia could betray him. Alex loved the girl.

Alex, still filled with anger, returned to drink the drink straight from the bottle. Alex wants to get drunk tonight and forget all the bad things that happened to him.

When Dhafi wanted to try to hold his best friend to drink too much, Azka immediately blocked and shook her head at Dhafi.

" Let him fuck Fi! Maybe that way he could escape his heartache for a while."

Dhafi does not stop Alex from drinking. The three of them eventually accompany Alex to drink although not as much as Alex did.

" Alex why Vin?" Their friends who had just returned from downstairs, compactly stared at Alex in surprise. They wonder why Alex drank so much that she almost lost consciousness.

" He's broken up!" Answer Azka quickly. Azka is lazy to explain more to all her friends.

They all compactly nodded their heads then sat back on their respective benches. When the clock showed me 12 puku, they all came down from the top floor and prepared to leave the club that night.

"Grain..great weight Lo Lex!" Azka grumbled while beating Alex who had been unconscious because of mabok. Dhafi also helped Azka to get her best friend. Gavin walked in front to open the door for all of them.

" Don't throw up Lo Lex! I dumped it in Lo's sea, if I vomit in my car." Gavin threatens the unconscious Alex beside Azka as they are already sitting in the car.

" He won't be horrified!" Speak boldly Azka. He is not afraid of Gavin who has been glaring at him angrily for calling Gavin bego.

" Did you just say?" Ask Gavin to make sure. He looked at Azka through the rearview mirror above his head.

" Sorry bro!" Azka forced her smile on Gavin and turned her gaze to her best friend.

" It's bro! Let's go now!" Dhafi who sits in front mediates the quarrel of the two so as not to get more protracted.

" Hmm.." Gavin just cleared his throat for a while and then drove his car to Alex's house first.
