The False Lover the Culun
Chapter 23. It never ends

When it goes legitimate,

That means I give up before we get to the finish line.

I'm sorry if it all seems in vain at the end.

The sacrifices we have made.

The patience we have been working on.

The understanding we have built.

I've felt a phase where I don't think I can hold on anymore.

When I was the only one who was scarred, bruised, crumpled while fighting for this relationship.

I had felt the phase where I wanted to go straight away but my little heart prevented it.

When I know and realize that deep down inside the heart is still you who reign.

Sorry .. once again I'm sorry.

Even though leaving is the last option.

At the very end.

But now I have reached the last point .

I'm goin.

# GIBRAN POV #

If I can be honest, I miss my old Sherina.

Sherina who always lowered her face when she was near me, Sherina who was always embarrassed when she was the center of attention, Sherina who could not look at me for more than 3 seconds.

Although I admit I am proud of him, he can finally return to being his true self.

But there was a sense of unwillingness when he was stared at with interest by the male men out there.

“Sial ... He shouldn't have to take off his glasses,”.

“Sorry Sir, which glasses is yah?” asked Rey who was driving beside me.

“What glasses?”

“Lah, Mr. earlier who first discussed glasses,” clean Rey but can still be heard by me.

“Oohhh, I mean Sherina,”.

“Sherina? New lecturers who arrive late?”

I'm nodding. “What do you think if you make new rules for lecturers to wear the same uniform?”

That idea just came to my mind. I think that just like that the beauty of Sherina can be a little reduced.

“Rey, what do you think?” I'm just impatient.

“You've been thinking about such a thing for a long time, ck!”

“Sorry Sir, but do you have any relationship with that lecturer?” ask Rey.

I admit he's a smart guy, he understands without me having to explain.

“You're smart, I like.”

“The story is long, for sure He is mine, it should be like that. But he dared to resist and run away,” I explained.

“If anyone dares to defy me I must certainly teach him a lesson, right?”

“Thank you for the compliment Sir, but if you do your idea, I'm sure everyone will be suspicious,”.

“More this is a university where all students wear neat free clothes, it would be strange if the lecturer instead wears a uniform,” he continued.

“Cih....” I grumbled, although I actually agreed.

“Lantas now your job is to think about how to make Sherina regret her decision to run away from me.”

“Quickly!”

“Master, tonight you have a dinner with Mr. Nashir's family at his residence,” Rey reminded me.

“Rey, since when did I attend such an event?”

“From there it's better I go to the workshop.”

Well, since 3 years ago, even before I returned to Indonesia I was with my three best friends, Bara, Kaif, and Faqih set up a workshop specifically for sports cars and race cars.

I suddenly became annoyed, considering Faqih who incidentally is Naila's lover, surely he already knew if Sherina had actually returned to Jakarta.

And Faqih's si*lnya didn't even tell me that.

I felt my phone vibrate, my forehead wrinkled when I saw Rafie's name on the screen.

“Ya Fie .. “ my word received Rafie's call.

“Tonight you should not come well ... I have a surprise,” Reply Rafie

“Surprise? I'm curious, and hopefully Lu's surprise is the same as what I thought at this time,”.

Shortly after ending the call with Rafie, I became suspicious that Rafie had found out that Sherina was the woman I was telling you about.

“Rey, now prepare me the best suit. I have to look different tonight,”.

“Nothing ... I'm going to dinner at my uncle and aunt's house,” I replied.

“But it will be a little different,”.

🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸

That night I was ready in a grey suit prepared by Rey.

I thought I was the last one, in fact it was even 30 minutes after my arrival, the special guest that Rafie promised never arrived.

I'm still pretending I don't know Sherina's whereabouts.

I heard Rafie called someone I thought was Sherina, they sounded really close.

It felt like there was a heat coming out of my body.It was uncomfortable to see Rafie more familiar with Sherina than I was.

I better have a chat with Pasha, I thought.

I approached Pasha who was chatting with the parents, my cousin this one was a little different.

Pasha is indeed the idol of the middle-aged people in our family, she can last a long time in the chatter with the elders which is very boring.

“What do they discuss? Looks like very interesting,” my question on Pasha.

“Mami Laila stories about women who are close to Rafie,” replied Pasha.

“Says a lecturer at El-Fatih University, you know?” tanyakanya.

I'm shaking. “Awas only if the woman is Sherina,” my inner self.

“Since Sherina was mine, now she has to be mine again. I'll make him regret leaving without my permission, my inner”.

We were all ready at the dinner table, just before dinner.

The voice of a woman caught our attention.

“Beautiful, very pretty,” my inner.

My gaze could not be distracted from that pretty face, especially those beautiful eyeballs.

“I used to even have to torture him in order to spend time with him, in order to be able to gaze longer at the beauty of that eyeball, my inner”.

Can time go faster? It feels so stifling to see the closeness of Rafie and Sherina.

“Why should Rafie?”

Not done yet I ease my frustration at his son who deliberately spread intimacy with Sherina, now Mami Laila makes new problems.

“Gibran, so when will you get engaged?” ask Mami Laila.

And then I could see Sherina and Rafie's faces changing.

“What if Sherina misunderstands?” my inner.

Sherina seemed uncomfortable being around me, she always wanted to avoid.

Until Rafie comes and holds Sherina sitting very close by his side.

"I just wanted to ask my Cousin Brother, why has he been looking at you ever since?"

“What can't?” my challenge

Rafie. “Boleh, is not beauty indeed created to pamper the eyes,” he said.

“That mustn't be you hurting him. Because now she is an important woman in my life, so don't try,” she told me in a whisper.

“Gue is serious, you know best that I am always serious with my words,” he continued while distancing myself and returning to his place.

“As for Lu, for Me, between I and Sherina there are still things we need to get straight,”.

I stood up, I wasted enough time, now it's time to make sure this woman comes back to me like she used to.

Sherina's wrists twitched slightly until the woman was forced to stand up.

“We have to talk, don't refuse!”

“Uncle and Aunt ..”

“Dad and Mother, We excuse you to go home first,”.

And I don't want to buy any more time, I'm taking it away from that place.

🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼🌸🌼

Although I kept quiet, but I'm glad Sherina's like she used to.

The two of us were already on our way away from Uncle Nashir's residence.

“Don't get too close to Rafie, I won't allow you,”.

“I don't need your permission,” reply ketus.

“Do you not remember our relationship?” My toot.

“What relationship? Fake relationship?” his reply.

“A long-overdue thing, why should you bring it up again?” continued.

I gripped tightly at the wheel, holding back my emotions.

“Nothing would have ended if it wasn't me who ended it!”
