The Lecturer's Jrat
Chapter 21 - The Truth

Yoona takes the flower from Noval's hand, everyone smiles with a satisfied exception Amel.

Yes, Amel liked Noval a long time ago, but she liked him in silence. Wishing that one day, he could be close to the man he had always admired.

Amel left the stands disappointed.

Noval rose from her convictions. She smiled happily because Yoona accepted it. But a moment later the smile disappeared and the expression was disappointed because Yoona returned it which means Yoona has rejected it.

The voices of the students cheering along disappointed, Noval gave a sign to them silence which then the atmosphere returned to silence.

''Sister Noval, Yoona is sorry. Yoona appreciates sister's efforts, Yoona highly appreciates big brother as senior. But sorry, Yoona can't accept Brother, '' Yoona explained very loudly.

Noval sighed, disappointed but as much as possible he had to respect the decision of the girl he liked.

''Sorry Yoona once again, brother.'' Yoona lowered her head, really she felt bad for rejecting popular men like Noval. Many pursue her love but Noval likes Yoona who even rejects her outright.

''No what. But can I know why you rejected me? do you have a girlfriend?''

Yoona smiled, she paused for a moment to prepare her answer.

And a moment later Yoona nodded and said, Even more than my girlfriend, she's a special person. Again I'm sorry.''

Noval was surprised to hear it even more when there was the phrase 'special person' made Noval's heart really sliced.

''You don't have to apologize, Yoona. Maybe I was too much.Oh yeah! Say sorry to that special person, hmm?'' Yoo a nodded her head, she felt relieved that Noval could accept her rejection.

''Can we still be friends as usual?'' ask Noval with a little hope.

''I do not know, because basically women and men will not be able to make friends. But I try to do yes, '' Yoona's sweet smile makes Noval moody, she understands all Yoona's rejection of her.

But not with Noval, even he offered a friendship after the rejection occurred.

Everyone left the audience. Yoona says goodbye to Noval to return to class.

When she and Wulan get to class, she sees Amel sitting alone, Wulan nudges Yoona, asking her why Amel is pensive over a man there.

Yoona shrugged her shoulders because she did not know for Amel.

''Mel! why did he suddenly leave?'' ask Wulan. But Amel didn't understand him at all.

''Congratulations, Una. Finally you are the same, Noval, said Amel with a soft look.

Wulan and Yoona glanced at each other. The two gave off a smile that made Amel misunderstand.

But a moment later, Wulan laughed out loud, she hugged Amel very anxiously.

''Eh why?''

''Mel, so don't leave immediately before the event is over!''

''Meaning?''

''Yoona nolak Noval. And you can still pursue her love, Kak Noval, '' Wulan's tease and Yoona's love.

Yes, Amel has been hiding his joy but that does not mean that his two friends are unaware of Amel's feelings for Noval.

Yoona was relieved that her decision to reject Noval was not wrong. If he had accepted it he would have lost a friend like Amel.
