TRAUMATISED
EPS. 61. Richard and his feelings

Lea and Richard were currently sitting before the small dining table that Richard had prepared. After his confession, Richard immediately got up from Lea's body and went to the kitchen.

No Richard thought he would tell his feelings in such a way to Lea.

Lea herself is still a thousand languages after Richard's previous confession. He was still so shocked to hear it even now.

" Lea, are you burdened with how I feel about you??" Richard said, because he had only seen Lea quiet.

" Because you already know my heart, let me just show you everything." Said Richard again, and there was still no response from Lea.

" I've loved you since we were just as young. Ever since we've always played together, I've always wanted to protect you. I moved slowly and I always missed you. " Say Richard, looking far away.

" I have a lot of girlfriends, but I always miss you. I made you the second woman I love most after my mother. " Said Richard again.

" Do you believe me, Lea? I was so happy when I was finally reunited with you. Unfortunately I was blind, I couldn't see you. " Ruchard said.

" I prayed to God that I might be given a vision again, that I might see the Leah that I so longed for the last ten years. And God answered it.."

" I can see again Athalea Adeline, the girl I love. I realized that my love is not just my love as a friend, I love you. But I hid it, because you might stay away from me." Richard said again.

" Now that you already know, I'm telling you everything, so that you don't think badly of me. Please don't be burdened by how I feel about you, Lea." Said Richard.

Lea was still silent as she looked at Richard who was telling a story before her. Lea stared into Richard's eyes very intensely to search for traces of lies. But apparently there is no.

" I don't believe in love, Chard." Lea said.

Richard shook his head.

" Don't say that, Lea.. Love is the most important part of our lives." Said Richard.

" But I don't feel that way. Married people can get divorced, even hurt each other. And even those who marry for love can part because they no longer love each other. So I don't believe in love." Lea said.

" I'll prove to you that love is real Lea.. Everything I do to you, it's my love." Said Richard.

Although difficult to accept by Lea's logic, but Lea also realized that she was slowly changing because of the motivation of Richard. But Leah was too afraid to know love, she did not want to be blessed just like her mother.

" Love doesn't exist." Lea said again.

" Please give me time to prove that love is Lea. You also have love in your heart. I don't know who it is for, but all humans are born with love in their hearts." Said Richard.

" I want to go home." Lea said.

Richaed nodded, then the two finally came home from there without touching the food on their plates at all.

Richard was about to put a helmet on Leah's head, but Lea grabbed it and used it herself. Richard became sad, he knew the wrong way.

Along the way, there was not even a single conversation between the two. Eventually they reached Leah's home. Leah was about to leave Richard's death, but Richard held Leah's hand.

" If you feel overwhelmed by my feelings, you can forget them. Today let it be the day I say all my heart to you, tomorrow we forget all that we discussed today and go back to being Lea and Richard, two best friends." Said Richard.

Lea did not reply, and just left Ricbard . Richard lowered his head.

'Stupid.. You made Lea go away from you.' Inner Richard.

Richard restarted his bike and drove away from there. Meanwhile, Lea entered the house and went straight up to the second floor where her room was.

Hae In and Livy who saw it were astonished by Lea who seemed to be in a bad mood.

" Did Leah have a fight with Richard?" Ask Hae In.

" I don't know.. I hope they're okay." Livy.

Lea went into his room and went straight into the bathroom and flushed his body with cold water. Right now his head is so runnyam.

All the words Richard had spoken to her earlier, still ringing clearly in Lea's ears.

Leah thought that those who were together because of love would part when the love itself was gone. After that, they only became two strangers who no longer wanted to know each other.

While Lea, Lea wants Richard to be her friend forever. Only Richard understood himself, Richard being able to make the emotions within Lea slowly lose to a single word from Richard.

Richard had managed to restore Lea's smile, and Lea did not want if she would eventually lose Richard, and become two strangers who did not know each other. Unknowingly, it seems that Lea is already dependent on Richard.

" WHY LOVE!!!" Shouted Lea.

After about half an hour he flushed his body with cold water, Leah finally stopped him and now he walked to the window and saw the moon that seemed to be hiding behind the clouds.

Leah darkened her entire room, she didn't want any lighting at all at this time, she wanted to be alone.

Unfortunately, the darker it became, the more it remembered Richard. Hollowly.. Reminiscent of Richard being blind, even as if in one room it was filled with the shadow of Richard's shadow.

" Thigh!! Why cast a shadow of himself here." Lea was upset.

Laughing Richard, Richard who was playing the piano, his smile silhouetted his body, all about Richard was spinning in Lea's eyes at the moment. Leah may say she doesn't want to know love, but look..

His heart said differently, Lea had unknowingly already bonded with Richard. We can say that Lea may have fallen in love with Richard without Lea noticing.

Finally, with great difficulty, he closed his eyes and covered himself with a blanket.

" Come on, Lea.. You shouldn't be like this. Tomorrow is the final, don't affect your performance." Lea muttered from under the blanket.

Meanwhile, at Richard's. Richard was currently sitting on the edge of the pool while dipping his feet in the water.

He was still thinking about everything he said to Lea. A bit of regret was in her heart, because she knew Lea was still very fragile to know love, and she was honest with her feelings.

" If Lea's gonna avoid me, what??" Richard murmured frustratedly.

" Or am I just calling Lea?" Richard murmured again.

" No, right now Lea needs some time alone. Never mind.. Whatever happens, I will not back down with my race. I'll prove to Lea that I really love her, and I won't leave her until later." Richard said again.

" Maybe tomorrow Lea comes to the tournament." Richard said again.

Next day..

Lea woke up with her haggard eyes, she looked sleep deprived. Apparently he had trouble sleeping last night, because Richard's shadow and voice really seemed to be around him.

' Fuck richard.' Inner Lea.

Lea got out of her room and ran outside to snatch her own keys before Livy even offered her breakfast.

" She..." Call Livy.

" Lea buru, ma. See you at school." Shouted Lea.

Livy just shook his head to see the girl acting strangely. Before long Leah left, Eichard appeared who entered the courtyard of the Leah residence.

" Richard, Lea's been with you, son, earlier." Livy.

" Have you left??" Richard was surprised.

' Kea dodging.' Inner Richard.

" Then Richard caught up with Lea first auntie, good morning." Said Richard and immediately turned around and left there.

" I'm sure something happened to both of them. Lea's arrived strange and now they're cat kelingan, hummm..." Mumbled Livy. Her detective soul thrashed.
