RR (RaffaRea) So Long Is It Love?
CHAPTER 12: Breakup

Rea sculpting. His tongue was muddy, his legs were even squeezing just like that. His mind was deadlocked for no apparent reason.

"R-Raf..."

The man reached for his hand and held it gently. Highlight his eyes were so shady looking at the girl before him with a smile etched beautifully on his handsome face.

"Actually I..."

Rea could not hear it, as if he was in a strange place. Raffa, the man began to speak revealing all the things that made him realize that Rea was the girl who had been in his heart.

No. gabe. Rea can't hear anything.

"Re, you want to, right?"

"Huh?" Rea felt drawn back from her daydream when Raffa mentioned her name. Rea stared confusedly with a frowning forehead.

Raffa smiled again, "be my girlfriend."

Rumbles of cheers from other students immediately filled the entire school area.

"Thank you! Accept it! Thank you!"

Rea looked around with a feeling of shock. Everything grew more confusing when he returned to the figure of Raffa who was still faithful kneeling before him.

What's he supposed to do?

There was a considerable time lag, even Rea pulled a side of her hand that was gently held by the man. Confused between refusing or accepting the feelings of his best friend. On the other hand, he did not want to humiliate Raffa in front of many people like today. However, on the other hand he also did not want to lie to his feelings.

The girl sighed softly while staring in the other direction.

"Y-yes."

Instantly the roar of boisterous cheers echoed filled the Bakti Nusantara High School building.

"What are you guys doing? Why fuss? Disperse right now!" A male teacher came out of the teacher room in a hurry and scolded all students/i who were responded with annoyance by them.

Another case with Raffa who actually smiled so widely. He took one of Rea's hands ready to go back to class and put the flowers he held in the girl's hand. Rea sculpting.

"Come on," he pulled the girl's other hand, intending to take her to his class.

Rea seemed to lose himself for a while. Suddenly, he pulled out his hand held by Raffa. Both steps stopped automatically. Raffa turned towards him with a raised eyebrow as if asking 'what is it?'

Rea turns to take Raffa's hand and returns the flower she holds. The man looked surprised unexpectedly.

"Re"

"Deliver me soon, Raff."

"Re!"

"I can't feel you, Raff. I... I mean, are you sure you feel that way?"

"I'm sure, Re."

"Where is the same Baras?"

The man's eyebrows shot up, "you didn't hear me, Re?"

Rea fell silent. There was a look of disappointment clearly imprinted on Raffa's tapered face.

"Raff, break up with me in the near future. If the nanya, say I do not match you," Rea voiced out after a moment of silence.

The man moved closer with an indecipherable face. Rea stepped back in tandem with the man's approaching steps. For some reason, suddenly Rea was afraid of the figure of Raffa who was in front of him at this time. His mind even felt deadlocked to think of what he should do. Rea simply continued to step up until his back hit the wall of the unused school room. The situation in the hallway where they were at this time somehow happened to be quiet, Rea became even more afraid of the situation he was in right now.

Raffa continued to step up until his body was too close to the girl. The man even lowered his face to align it with the face of Rea below him.

"I'll never do that, Re. We'll never break up."

Rea mute.

"So," Rea ventured into the man's black bead, "do I have to kill you?"

It looks like the guy's jaw is hardened. Obviously, he didn't want Rea to do that.

"Re"

"I can't do that either, Raff. I can't make you that shy."

Slowly but surely, the hardened muscles on the man's face loosened. Both of them were silent for a long time. We both don't know what to do and how.

"What should we do, Raff?"

"Open your heart to"

"I like Jordan, Raff."

Rea's quick and crushing answer seemed to slap Raffa indirectly. The man again hardened his jaw muscles with a clenched hand.

Rea thought Raffa would either get angry or do something to vent his anger. But no, the man actually stepped away in the opposite direction.

No. gabe. It's not done yet.

"Raff!"

Unexpectedly, Raffa stopped his steps. The man turned his head slightly towards Rea and said something before actually stepping away.

"I won't let you go, Re."

...****************...

There may be no friendship between a man and a woman. One of them must be involved feelings.

However, when it peaked. When the feeling is expressed and unrequited, the friendship will end at that point.

Rea threw a glance out her classroom window with a raging feeling. What is not released? Raffa just seemed to stay away and avoid it. Same with Jordan, the guy he's been taking on.

Rea no longer feels excited about going to school. His mind seemed to be deadlocked when he did his hobby to sketch clothes designs. Not to mention, his three friends who usually always frenzied him now just seem to ignore him. Can humans change that fast? Or is he hoping for more?

Rea took a rough breath and collected his drawing equipment. He will look for fresh air while doing his hobby in the garden behind the school. If he's lucky, he'll probably meet Jordan there. Thinking about it, Rea smiled wryly. Meeting anything, the man even seemed to be avoiding her everywhere as if Rea was a strange creature. In fact, Rea was eager to tell someone about everything. And Jordan, he wants Jordan to be that guy.

Rough breathing again sounded from Rea's mouth. Why is his mind so dead-end? Why did everything he experienced have to keep spinning in his head?

Rea flung her body lying on the long chair of the garden just below the tree. He will sleep for a while to eliminate his saturation. After all, the next lesson hours will not run as usual because the teacher who teaches is not present.

...****************...

"Laras, how are you Raffa?"

The girl seemed to smile even though there was clearly a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes, "Raffa really likes you, Re. I can what?" he said and left without caring about Rea who was dissatisfied with the reaction of the beautiful girl.

...****************...

"Raff, when are we like this? Do something, Raff!" said Rea half-shouting at the man who had suddenly been cold to her. What exactly is wrong? His mind was endlessly shouting confusedly questioning the situation.

"I'll make you realize how you feel, Re."
