TRAUMATISED
EPS. 67. A Relaxing Advice for Lea.

Week pass.

A week had passed, Lea and Richard still saw no change from Juno or Riri. The two of them kept quiet and avoided each other.

Lea who saw it became upset herself. In his current mind was, Juno was stupid for not accepting Riri's love.

" Richard said Juno didn't accept Riri because Riri was weak right? Okay, let's make that idiot Juno sorry. How dare he make a sweet smile on Riri's face disappear." Lea Mumbled.

" Lea, let's go home." Call Richard who is currently on his bike.

" I'll go home with Riri, you go home alone." Lea said.

Lea ran away before Richard could ask her the reason. Richard shook his head to see Lea's behavior getting more and more abstract.

" What are they riding?" Richard Mumbled.

Richard follows Lea on his bike, until Lea meets Riri at the stop.

" They're taking a public bus? But Lea never climbed it." Richard Mumbled.

As Richard was about to approach Leah, the bus went and went from there. Richard followed the bus from behind.

Meanwhile, Lea was now standing on the bus, the afternoon hour was the return hour. No wonder the bus was full, and even Lea was standing a bit in a huddle with Riri and the other passengers.

" Why did you come home with me?? If I knew you wanted to come, I'd just call a cab." Riri.

" It doesn't matter Ri, which stop is close to my house??" Ask Lea to Riri.

" Your house is in elite housing, where there's a stop there. At least you have to get off at the same stop as me, just take a taxi or ojek online from there." Riri.

" Ohh. ok. Come with me." Lea said.

" Where?" Ask Riri.

" There is, for now, still a secret." Lea said.

" Jiah. use the secrets of everything." Riri said and looked back.

As Riri looks back, he accidentally sees Richard following behind the bus.

" That's. Isn't that Richard?" Ask Riri to Lea.

Lea stared at the direction Riri was pointing at, and she rounded her eyes when she saw Richard following the bus from behind.

" He's following us??" Lea said.

" Not us, but you.. Looks like Richard loves you, Lea." Riri.

" Yes, I know." Said Lea lightly.

" ha? You know Richard loves you but you're normal?" Riri.

" I don't want to know Ri's love, a lot of people get hurt because of love, and I don't want to be one of their daei." Lea said.

Riri was very sorry for what Lea chose. If Riri was Lea, maybe he would have accepted Richard. Richard was good, and always looked after Lea. Riri feels sorry for herself, she loves men, but the man just thinks it laughable.

" Lea, not all love hurts. You haven't tried it yet, why did you say that?" Riri.

" I sudsh know it's gonna hurt, what I'm trying for." Lea said.

" Richard told me not to be overwhelmed by his feelings, and to be friends as always. So yeah, we're friends." Lea said again.

Riri shook her head hearing what Lea said. Riri did not expect Richard to be that strong to hold his feelings around the people he loved, but could not reach it.

" Lea, besides being sick.. Love also brings happiness. Many people live happily with the people they love. Love also carries its own strengths, such as the power of Richard's love that can make you turn into the present Leah." Riri.

" Not everyone who falls in love will fail and end up hurting. Those who love each other, will live happily with the sorrow they went through together." Said Riri again.

" Now he's still there, Lea.. What if he suddenly leaves you? " Said Riri.

Lea became silent, and her current gaze headed towards Richard who was still faithfully following the bus he was riding on. Richard even waved his hand when his gaze met with Lea.

" Look at Lea, even though she knows her love is unrequited.. But he always goes towards you. He follows where you go, even if you don't ask him to. Open your heart, Lea.. Give him a chance to stop by." Riri.

" Can I??" said Lea.

" You can Lea... Try it, don't let your trauma shackle you and don't give yourself a chance to be happy." Riri.

Along the way, Lea looked back. He saw Richard still faithfully following him from school. Leah also thought about Richard.

It is true that Richard never hurt her one bit, or just made her sad. Richard was the one who made Leah smile.

' Am I capable of trying it..' Inner Lea.

" Lea, come on. We've arrived." Riri.

Lea and Riri went down, and yes.. Richard also stopped not far from the back of the bus.

" Try Lea, give her a chance. Richard's a good man, and you deserve to be happy." Said Riri again to Lea.

Lea became staring at Richard with an indescribable look. After the bus leaves, Richard approaches Lea and Riri.

" Hello Chard, are you following Lea??" Ask Riri.

" Ah, yes.. Lea never got on the bus, so I'm afraid she's why." Richard was honest.

" Uh, sweetness.." Riri said with a smile.

" Haish! Let's hurry up the cab and come to my house, now." Lea arrived.

" me?? In your house, what do you want?" Ask Riri.

" Don't ask too many questions, hurry up. I'm waiting for you at home." Lea said, and went straight up on Richard's bike.

" Let's go.. " Lea said.

" Ha?? Riri how?" Ask Richard.

" Jamgan cares about me, I can take a taxi or an online motorcycle taxi. You guys go first." Riri.

" Alright, bye Ri." Said Richard.

Richard took off his bike and immediately darted away from there. Riri smiled looking at Lea who went piggybacking with Richard.

" They are like the destiny God has laid out. Richard to Lea and Lea to Richard." Riri Gumam.

Meanwhile on Richard's bike, Lea was thinking. Will he give himself a chance to know love.

But hearing Riri say what if Richard left, she became scared. He was always close to Richard.

" Richard's.." Call Lea.

" Hum, what's up, Lea?" Ask Richard.

" If I give you a chance to be my lover, will you leave me one day?" Ask Lea.

" Wouldn't.. " Say Richard.

" I love you, and I love you a long time ago. And after all, this heart only chooses you one." Said Richard.

Lea was silent, she thought about it over and over again before she steadied her heart.

" But Leah, don't you ever feel burdened. As I told you, just you be in front of me, and let me love you alone." Richard said again.

" Richard's.." Lea said.

" hum?" Richard's Sahut.

" I'm giving you a chance." Lea said.

And immediately Richard braked suddenly his motorbike. Fortunately they are not speeding and the road conditions are quiet.

" Lea, what did you say?" Richard asked until he opened his helmet.

" i.. Give you a chance." Lea said again.

Richard smiled at her, he got off his bike and clasped Lea's hand.

" Are you serious??" Richard said, and Lea nodded with a smile.

But then Richard fell silent, he didn't want Lea to just accept his feelings.

" Don't force yourself Leah, if you give this opportunity out of pity for me, then don't. I don't want you to be forced, and later you'll regret it." Said Richard.

" I'm not forced, I've thought of her matured. To be honest the end of this I'm haunted by you every time I'm in the room. I don't know what the omens are, but I'm opening the internet, and the internet is saying that I'm in love." Lea said slowly.

Richard smiled hearing that, did Lea finally quietly start to have a taste in her, he thought.

" So you're actually giving me a chance to be your lover? " Task Richard, and Lea nodded.

" Thank you, Lea. I'll keep a good good chance of this, I'll be a good money lover for you." Richard said, hugging Lea.
