TRAUMATISED
EPS. 65. Riri gave up on her feelings.

Juno and Riri were now sitting on the edge of the dak that Riri had previously been sitting on. They stared at the twilight of the afternoon both of them.

Apparently from the roof of the empty building it could see a good view. The bustle of the city streets that also happened to be in the direction of the sun that was about to sink made it look like a painting.

" Why didn't you come home last night?" Ask Juno.

" I. calm down." Riri.

" Squiet yourself by making everyone panic looking for you, huh?" Said Juno, and Riri glanced at Juno.

" Everyone?" Riri asked in a surprised tone.

" Her mother Lea, Lea, Richard, your roommate, the bakery employee, all frantically looking for you." Juno.

" I'm included." Said Juno again.

Riri immediately closed his mouth, he thought he went wherever no one would look for him, apparently everyone was looking for his existence.

" What do you think about not going home all night? Have you now gained enlightenment or tranquility in yourself? " Tell Juno, and Riri shook her head.

" I just wanted to entertain myself, I didn't know that everyone would be looking for me. " Said Riri.

Juno was silent, however, Riri did not come home because of her self that hurt Riri.

" I'm sorry if my way was wrong, I purposely said that to make you hear it." Juno said, blak blakan.

" I don't like girls who are easy to get, cheap." Said Juno while closing her eyes.

Riri looked down, a tear dripping from her eye. His heart ached hearing Juno directly say so.

' Why does this hurt when you hear it directly.' Inner Riri.

" The woman must be fought, so that there is a challenge to get her. I'm telling you one secret, I actually like Lea." Juno.

Riri closed his eyes hearing that, apparently his guess was correct.. Juno likes Lea.

" Lea is a cold, yet attractive girl. The beginning of our meeting was filled with conflict, I was a bad student who always disturbed him. I was even mean to her." Juno.

" I learned a valuable lesson from Lea, she saved my life twice. And I always get a surprise whatever it is about him that makes me like him. "

" But Richard is my friend, I don't want to ruin our friendship. Because Richard saved me, I owe him my life. So I can only like Lea in silence." Said Juno again.

" Over all, Lea and Richard were friends from childhood. They're destined to be together, so there's nothing I can do." Juno.

" Hihi" Suddenly came a laugh from Riri.

Juno glanced at Riri who was heard laughing, but his face was full of tears.

" We are the same.. Same as loving the wrong person." Said Riri, wiping her tears with her sleeves.

" I understand. I'm not going to expect anything from you. Sorry if my attitude has been weighing on you and making you uncomfortable. I've been like a ludicrous fly." Riri said, smiling.

Juno looked at Riri with a confused look. Because at this time Riri looks smiling, but her tears continue to flow.

" Today, in this place, I, Riri.. Decided to give up on my feelings for you, Juno Fabian. I will no longer be ludicrous, and will no longer surround you like flies." Riri.

" You're right, women should be hard to get. Thank you for giving me a valuable lesson." Said Riri, and wiped away her tears.

" Can you be ordinary? I mean, I don't want Lea to be traumatized again by men. Lea has been progressing recently. " Juno.

Riri shed her tears back, and nodded.

" Yes, of course.. Leah was my best friend, and I wouldn't hurt her." Riri said with a smile.

How broken Riri's heart is today, he has to hear reality, and the person he likes doesn't care at all about his feelings.

" Thank you." Said Juno, and Riri nodded.

" I have to go home, Aunt Livy must be looking for me." Riri.

" Want me to take you??" Juno and Riri asked immediately shook their heads strongly.

" I've just sworn my oath, if you take me, afraid I'll break my own vow." Said Riri while chuckling small.

" Thank you for being nice to me, even though I finally know I'm just a fly to you, but I'm happy. At least I'm considered, I'm gone.." Riri said, then ran away leaving Juno who was currently still in place.

' I'm sorry, I don't want to repeat the same story.' Inner Juno.

Juno sighed and wiped away her tears, now she looked back at the twilight scene before her.

" He must have been very hurt, since he spoke with a smile, but also cried." Juno Mumbled.

Juno pulled out her phone, and contacted Richard.

" Chard, I've met Riri. But he won't come home with me, maybe he'll come home by public transport or taxi." Juno said, and immediately turned off his phone before Richard replied to anything.

Juno stared at the sun that was getting more and more disappearing. And the day turned dark, Juno left.

Time passed, Riri has arrived at his boarding house. He walked away and his gaze also looked empty.

" i." Ri." Call Lea, while hugging Riri.

Riri was surprised because Lea was holding her so tightly. Riri remembered what Juno had told her. His heart became more and more sick, finally Riri's cry broke.

" Hiks! Hicks! Hicks! " Tears Riri broke.

Lea hugged Riri tightly, she was confused with Riri who actually cried while in her embrace.

" Ri, what's going on?? Are you in the back again?? Who did it?" Said Lea in a worried tone.

Riri only cried bitterly, until the people who passed by were staring at Lea and Riri.

' Lea, you're so good.. No wonder everyone likes you. Even though I'm hurt because the person Juno likes is you, but I can't hate you. You're too good..' Inner Riri.

" Ri's.. Can tell?? What happened to you, why didn't you come home all night?" Lea said.

' What should I say, Leah.. Do I have to say that I'm heartbroken because the man I like seems to like you? ' Inner Riri while sobbing sedu.

' You are a good person Lea, I can't possibly hurt you.' Inner Riri.

" It's okay, I just lost a street cat that I always feed. He died getting hit by a car." Riri.

" Oh my goodness, this innocent and kind boy, just because your cat didn't come home all night?" Lea said.

" Em, yeah.. I have to bury him. Sorry for making you all worry." Riri tried to smile.

" It's okay as long as you're okay. You said you were sick, why did you run?" Lea said.

" I'm sorry, I'm just buying a painkiller for months. But I just saw the cat get hit." Said Riri and back flowing tears.

" Sstt. It's okay." Lea said.

Riri sobbed in Lea's arms, her heart breaking but she couldn't do anything either. It's not wrong Lea liked Juno, it's not wrong Juno also liked Lea. It's his fault he likes the wrong people.

" Cry on the satisfied, but promise me tomorrow you'll be fine." Said Lea, and Riri nodded.

Lea went straight to Riri's boarding house after Richard got a call from Juno. Meanwhile Richard could only wait outside, because it was a female boarding house.

Finally after a long cry, Riri took off her embrace and looked at Lea.

" Thank you for worrying about me, Lea. Go home. Aunt Livy will be looking for you." Riri.

" Are you okay alone?" Lea said.

" I'm fine.." Riri.

" All right, then. Take good care of yourself, I'll go home first." Said Lea, and Riri nodded.

Riri went into her dorm room, and Leah went out to meet Richard, who was waiting outside the fence.

" How?" Ask Richard.

" He said it was because his cat got hit by a car, so he was sad. " Lea said.

Richard was relieved to hear it, at least not because he hurt Juno.

" Oh.. Poor thing. Yes, come on.. I'll take you home." Richard said, and Lea nodded.
