The Love Flakes of Nauvara
Stupid matchmaking

"Te—ntang us?" Vara said.

Fero nodded. "Yes, there's something I want to seriously discuss this time, Ra!" Said Fero facing towards Vara and staring at the black bead intently.

Why is his eyes so sharp this time?

"What do you want to talk about, Fer? Is it so important? Why does your face look so serious?" Vara turned to look at Fero seriously.

"Today I saw Rangga to the cafe lo, Ra. What's the matter with him coming to the cafe lo?"

Vara explained how Fero knew when he did not see Fero coming to the cafe yesterday afternoon, he thought.

"How do you know?"

Fero smiled cynically. "Yesterday I also came there after Rangga parked his car, Ra. Because seeing Yura who was immediately happy to meet with Rangga I undo the intention to approach you guys." Fero said slowly followed by heavy breathing.

"Why don't you just go over to Fer? What's wrong with you joining us? Yura also asked you yesterday." Vara said not well.

"You're still asking why, Ra?" Said Fero who had changed the way he spoke with Vara.

"I don't understand, Fer!"

"Did you not understand how I felt about you, Ra? Have you responded to all my words and deeds only to the wind and then Ra? I'm really in love with you Ra." Fero said loudly.

"I'm sorry, Fer." Said slowly.

"I don't need your forgiveness Ra! Can't you return my feelings just once, Ra?"

Vara bowed, squeezing both her hands. "I can't, Fer! Do you not understand my condition that does not deserve to be loved by anyone else Fer? You deserve someone better than me."

Fero gripped Vara's shoulders. "I don't care about your past Ra! I just need you to make it ahead! Have you started falling in love with Rangga, Ra?" Said Fero who had begun to ignite emotions.

"No, Fer! I don't love anyone right now!" Vara's speech is weakening.

Fero removed his grip from Vara's shoulder and returned to his original sitting position.

"Can't you learn to love me, Ra?"

"I'm sorry, Fer."

Fero breathed a heavy sigh. He knew from the beginning Vara never responded to his feelings in any form. But is it wrong he is too hopeful for a love reply from Vara? In fact, he does not care about the status of Vara who has children with Rangga from extramarital relationships.

"Of course, it seems like I will never have a place in your heart, Ra."

"We can still be friends like Fer used to be."

"Yes, I hope so is Ra." Short reply.

Vara smiled at Fero's reply, which calmed his heart. Because according to him Fero is a good friend who never humbled him even though their differences were very far away, especially Fero who lately often help him and give affection to his two children before the arrival of Rangga.

Hope you get a better woman than me, Fer.

The silence was long enough after their last conversation. Neither Vara nor Fero had any intention of continuing the talks. They are also absorbed in their own thoughts. Fero's memory of his mother's message asking him to come home early today broke the silence between them.

"Thank you for listening to my heart all this time Ra. May you never intend to stay away from me, Ra." Pinta Fero looked at Vara while holding both hands.

Vara smiled and nodded. "I never intended to get away from you Fer! I'm so lucky to have a friend as good as you. Thank you for your kindness all this time." Vara.

"As long as I can, whatever I will do for you Ra. Then I go home first Ra. I have business after this."

"Alright, watch out on Fer's way."

***

Arriving at the house Fero went straight into the house without looking around and intended to climb the stairs to his room on the second floor of the house. The voice of the mother who called him also undo Fero's intention to climb the stairs and turn to see his mother who was already in the family room of the house with a woman.

Fero only glanced at the woman and immediately replied his mother's greeting.

"What's the matter ma?" Ask Fero.

Mama who can see the look of sadness from the face of her son also tried to ignore it and continue his intention to call Fero.

"Sit down Fer." Said Mama and Fero immediately walked towards his mother and sat his body on the single sofa of the room.

"It's Fer, Zia your little friend used to be her rose aunt. Do you remember that? We used to go to their homes when you were off school."

"Fero forgot ma." Answer's short.

"You're how the hell Fer! You forgot about Zia. You don't forget that papa you and papa Zia will match you both." Ask mama.

Fero immediately looked at his mother as if asking for an explanation for her mother's words.

"Duh, you are so forgetful Fer! Before you left for London, papa, you told me that you would be betrothed to your father's son."

Fero also tried to remember the conversation he and his father before he left for London that night. Because of the thought of Vara's whereabouts that Fero did not listen too much to his father's speech that night.

"Fero hasn't agreed to the match!" Denied Fero upset.

"We didn't ask for your approval Fero!" Mama said firmly.

"Why do you always manage the life of Fero ma? Fero is an adult! Fero has the right to determine who Fero will marry without such a ridiculous match!"

"What's the reason you rejected this matchmaking Fer!" Sick mama pissed. "Aren't you able to forget your love for that woman?! What else do you expect from that woman Fer?! He never returned your feelings! And now he's also having children with another man."

"Don't link this to Vara ma!"

"Because that's why you're like Fer! Mama and papa just want the best for you Fer! Forget him Fer!" Mama's words are hard.

Fero let out a sigh of relief and got up from the sofa he was sitting on. "Fero's not in the mood to argue, ma. Fero up first." Passed and passed from before his mother.
