Teach Me to Cheat
Chapter 67: When prestige wins

On the way, Daffi was very smart to make Fiona say the full address of her residence so that Daffi immediately turned on the GPS in his car to show directions.

" Ohya by the way what sort of row project are you going to do in such a remote area?" Ask Viona.

" O land is usually in remote areas that many quality coffees and taste good that we can never get when we are in the city."

" I see..."

" Yes.., Viona can I ask you something?"

" absolutely.."

" This is how it was before if we met you always tried to seduce me or say something that made my ears hot but why don't you do it now?"

" Ah so have you missed me?"

" It's not just that my ears are used to being damaged by your crazy words it feels a little strange because now my ears are normal."

" Haha, so you'd rather if your ears were damaged than her ears become normal?"

" It's not just that I'm starting to think that you've stopped loving me and expecting me to be your soul mate?"

"Always put your name in my prayer, for praying is the most secret way of loving." Lirih Viona without looking at Daffi.

"If you're not meant to be with me, maybe I'm just meant to see you." It was his impact that made Daffi squeeze the steering wheel.

If he was the Daffi he used to be, maybe he had met to pull over his car and invite Fiona to exercise as a form of love and express his feelings at that time.

But now Daffi has changed he is no longer playing with women since he decided to improve and came back because he was ready to win Aini.

Daffi can only sigh at length, it feels quite strange that Kak Devi must say that she actually misses every crazy word that Viona throws at her.

There's no way if all this time you don't know if I've kept a taste for you, are we just silent in our respective prestige. Without a word only dare to look at you from a distance, without certainty only through hope, by far I admire you. Screeched Viona.

Silent..

Suddenly the two felt awkward for each other.

If every second miss is appreciated, I don't know how much money I get for missing you. But unfortunately the reluctance to reveal it to you became my own path of hurt. Inner Daffi while looking at Viona who was closing her eyes enjoyed the breeze because the car door glass was open.

" Viona, have you really not wanted us to be a match?" Said Daffi who ventured to ask.

"Not wanting to have but just loving, loving, and admiring." Viona still closed her eyes and enjoyed the wind.

" Do you love me?" Daffi's successful questioning made Viona close her eyes and look at her.

" Why are we suddenly talking about something like this?" Ask Viona.

"There is someone who admires you, smiles you, and feels your presence means a lot. He always thinks of you even if he can only be quiet and prestige, that's me."

" Ohya?" Viona asked in disbelief, because she could no longer think about her partner, Daffi actually said that there was someone who was admiring her.

"Some one prays for you even though you ignore. Some miss you even if you don't know."

" Do you know who it is?"

" I'm."

" Haha you must be kidding."

"Don't get me wrong, I just admire, not love." Daffi's words that made Fiona's previously floating soul float in the air were now like a balloon pierced with a needle.

Ah shit, why the wrong words suddenly thrown by my mouth seems like tomorrow I have to change my mouth so that he can better control the words he will say especially when near Viona.

Because the journey from the city to Viona's hometown takes about 8 hours, Devi finally decided to rest after they drove for more than 3 hours.

I must make and see laughter in your face, if it be for me or without me.

Away from the gaze, away from the embrace, yet always be the closest to always say 'missing'. But the truth is I can't say it either. Inner Daffi while looking at Fiona who was enjoying the beach breeze because they chose to rest near the beach because along the way to Fiona's hometown passing several beaches.

Viona herself did not think much about the words spoken by Daffi after Daffi said that she only admired Fiona instead of loving Fiona.

After they felt that this rest session was enough they decided to return to continue the journey.

" Is there someone you have planned for your future?" ask Daffi.

" No, if you?"

" Already, it's just that I'm too proud of either prestige or fear to express my feelings and it really makes me sad every day especially when I meet him."

"Sadness comes because you harbor too much of a sense that you should be able to express. Until when does the prestige in you want you to always follow?" Screeched Viona.

"My love is bigger so I can't express it. All words will not be enough to express it. Closing my eyes was the easiest way to feel her presence by my side." Lirih Daffi's.

" Okay, but don't close your eyes now that we're driving."

" Haha, I know.." Daffi.

Viona was silent once in a while she looked towards Daffi who had completely changed.

Viona smiled thinly at least there was gratitude because the Daffi she used to know was very cute and also this Jutek turned into someone who was pleasant. Although Viona knew that Daffi already had a woman that she would make as her life partner at least Fiona had one new friend besides Aini and Daffa.

"For so long, I wish you could know how I feel, even if it's impossible." Lirih Viona's.

" Did you say something?" Ask Daffa.

" No."

" It's funny that I hear you say a wish that I know how you feel."

" Haha maybe it's just your feeling because I didn't say anything." Viona said while holding her breath because she did not understand how Daffi could hear her even though she said very softly.

Until this moment at least I know how it feels to love in silence, harboring the feeling of longing alone. Inner Viona closed her eyes and remembered how she used to easily say love to every man and of course the man accepted the love statement made by Viona.

And now, Viona has just realized that loving in silence and slipping her name into prayer is incredible.

The same feeling Daffi felt, He felt that his love for Fiona was extraordinary because he loved Fiona in silence.

This is what happens when prestige wins everything.

Two people who actually love each other but because prestige defeats everything so they only love in silence and in prayer.
