Xena
50. Apologies

Xena had just arrived at her house by taxi. He's a little chatty with Ray about coming home. Ray initially does not want Xena to come home, he still misses her and wants to enjoy time together with her. It was late and Xena had to go home.

Not getting there, Ray urges if he wants to deliver Xena. But Xena refused because Ray had just recovered and chose to take a taxi to go home.

Whereas Grandpa Muta only saw that rare interaction with his mouth open. He did not expect if his granddaughter who was as cold as the refrigerator, was very attached to his future granddaughter-in-law.

Xena also did not expect that Mutual's grandfather was very enthusiastic about his relationship with Ray. But he is also grateful for all of that.

....

Now that he had reached his house, Xena frowned when she saw Olive's car parked in front of the house.

When he entered the house he saw his parents sitting together with Olive and Vano. Seeing that Xena had already returned home, the four of them focused their antennas on her.

"Have you come home, baby?" utami asked towards him, Xena nodded and immediately kissed Utami's hand.

"Darling, they just arrived five minutes ago. Mama told me if you went out there was business. But they said they wanted to wait for you here" Utami whispered softly and was only heard by the two.

Xena nodded her head in understanding, meaning her parents did not say if she went to Ray. Of course they understand Ray's identity, they can not carelessly talk to others. After all, an artist has a pretty complicated and secretive life.

If indeed their relationship was not a secret, Xena's parents let Xena and Ray say it, so it wasn't their realm to open their voices.

"Pah.." said Xena kissed Indra's hand solemnly.

Fortunately he had been wearing women's clothes that Citra bought sent to Ray's apartment, if not sure many questions to them if he wore men's clothes.

"Liv, brother Vano. What's coming here?" xena asked in an ordinary tone without a look of surprise there.

I don't know why, after he dated Ray. His fear of Vano began to disappear, even he was no longer thinking about the person he used to love.

"I want to invite you to dinner outside, I called you from last night but not in the lift" Olive said pouting

"Sorry Liv, my phone was silent so I did not know if there was a phone coming in" said Xena smiled faintly.

"Where have you been Xe?" ask Olive again

"Restaurant" Xena replied.

"Aaa, so you want to take me to dinner where's Liv?" xena asked to switch the conversation

"At the restaurant you are, but you go back and forth. Know you there I went straight to the restaurant just now" said Olive grinning horse.

Vano who listened to them chatted was silent. He already knew Xena had a restaurant from Olive, at first he was surprised. But he finally believed it when Olive told him.

He also admires Xena more, who turns out to be an independent woman with a mature mindset. He managed to build his own business, it is worth appreciating.

Given Xena's news with Ray on the internet, Vano felt annoyed and jealous. He was eager to comment, if Xena was his. But he broke it. Because other than she's not Xena's boyfriend, she hasn't even gotten an apology from him.

"We're both?" xena asked glanced at Vano.

"With Vano three, it's okay, right? Poor Mr. Vano at home alone" Olive said expectantly.

Xena just nodded, he no longer hugged Vano, avoiding was free so he would face it. He had thought about it carefully, he had gradually removed the trauma. So all he needs to do is just act ordinary, however both their families are friends.

Hearing that Vano smiled, he felt glad Xena was no longer avoiding him.

....

Half an hour later, the three of them left for XR Restaurant. And in twenty minutes they have arrived.

They went straight into the private room, which just happened to be empty. Although Xena actually has a private room, but she does not use it at this time.

"Let's have a message, just calm down this time let brother Vano pay. This dinner also includes a celebration of the rise of Mr. Vano so the CEO replaced the position of papa" said Olive.

"Oh yes, congratulations then" said Xena, he sincerely congratulated it.

However, in the past life, Vano was a very competent and successful person when holding his papa company at that time.

"Thank you Xe" said Vano with a big smile, he was glad that Xena was not cold to him. Even congratulate him.

"Xe, I go to the toilet first" Olive said

Xena knew that Olive had intentionally done that because she wanted the two of them to solve their problems. So Xena just nodded no problem.

"Xe, Ak-I'm sorry for what happened at the summit. I didn't mean to put you down, I didn't know what I was thinking. I think I'm jealous because of your closeness with another man to unconsciously say the wrong thing and hurt you" said Vano sincerely.

"Hmm I've forgotten it" said Xena cuek

"In fact, it means us." said Vano cut off.

"Yes, we can be friends, even if it's not as close as it used to be" Xena said

Hearing that there was a sense of disappointment in Vano's heart, he did not want to just be considered a friend.

"Xe, I want to say something, I've realized, if I love you too. Xe can.." said Vano expectantly.

Xena who heard that frowned, why did Vano speak as if he still liked her.

"Sorry, I can't. Didn't I say it before, if my feelings for you were gone" Xena said confidently.

"But Xe, why? What wrong? Don't you love me?" asked Vano confused, he did not understand what he did wrong until Xena seemed reluctant to get close to him again.

"Since I decided to give up, my love for my sister has gone away with time. Maybe because I've been tired for the last 10 years. So please brother also forget about my sister's feelings for me!" say Xena again.

He could not return to Vano, he did not want to repeat the same mistake that led to his death. His feelings for Vano were also no longer there, now in his heart was a new person.

People love him and his family has also accepted his presence. So he will not waste the most beautiful gift that God has given him.

"I won't give up Xe, I'll keep fighting for you. Just like you fought for me for so many years" Vano said without giving up

Xena sighed, it was indeed difficult to talk to a stubborn person like Vano.

"Sorry, but it will be free. Because in my heart is now occupied by others" said Xena who made Vano surprised.
