CAN STILL BE

NARRATOR'S POV

Sometimes people who deserve our love don't give us assurance in their life. They don't let us experience have the assurance we want from them.

As they just want us to wait and wait. Until you wait for long and inside that waiting process. You discover different things and thoughts that you haven't experienced before.

That's a blessing and that's the pure affection people want to have instead of assurance. Waiting is a process to love and realize everything.

When you love, you can't just ask for assurance. If you fall in love, then wait for the right time to come. It is always the second and last option lovers have.

It's either they leave or wait for the perfect time that will be given to them.

Aze remained quiet after Symon left her alone in her room. She thought that he was locked up inside so she didn't even try to open the door.

Instead, she sat down properly and saw the paper bags full of clothes and shoes. It was all designer clothes and shoes.

"Those are my favorite clothes," Aze mumbled when she saw what was inside those paper bags.

She opened it wider and saw what was inside it. All those clothes were branded and designed, it's like a dream to her.

Yeah, it is because even if she's rich she doesn't spoil herself more with all the expensive things she likes. Everything she does is for everyone. Spends all the money he has on those homeless children on the street.

Slowly she took off her clothes and let them fall to the floor. While she's undressing she remains sitting in the bed.

She picked the clothes that had a long sleeve blouse and paired them with denim shorts.

It looks so good to her and it fits her body. She moved a bit and tried everything not to fall on the floor.

When she went closer to the mirror placed on the study table. Aze could feel how painful her ankle is and look at herself fully.

Well dressed but her hair is still messy because of what happened earlier.

What she did was wrong and intense but she still has the guts to get angry at Symon. Even though it was all her fault and not Symon's fault.

Knowing that it was the punishment she deserves to have because of stubbornness.

Even if she just wanted to escape out of this stinky place she thought of, she should have used her mind very well.

And because she didn't use her mind well, this happened to her now. Broken anklet and suffered a lot of pain after jumping in the window too far from the ground.

Aze lay down her body on the soft mattress, tired. She wanted to escape this day by just sleeping and forgetting that this day happened.

All the dreams that Aze had before are Symon's dreams too. The truth is, they dreamed it together and planned everything.

But you can never hide and escape that inside that relationship. There will always be failures and disappointments you will encounter.

In the future, that is the possible thing that you will encounter but in that case, you are already well prepared.

Lots of things that Sy and Aze want to do together. Like going on a road trip, traveling far, and touring the sky. That's all they want and matters to them but grace didn't let them experience it.

Lord's grace has a good decision on not giving them that experience. They had a good mindset of deciding what to do with those people who are in a relationship.

Meanwhile, Symon went upstairs to check Aze if she was doing something wrong again. He was scared of what she was going to do just to escape this place.

If only he could say it directly to Azenith, he will not keep it until and just confess everything to her again. But because he was scared enough to tell her, she chose to kidnap her and bring him to her grandparent's farm.

It's the only thing that Sy could think of as a solution to all his problems. He can't afford to lose her again because she once lost her and it was because of his best friend.

He slowly went inside Aze's room without saying any words. He fully roamed his eyes to look for something that she might plant in here to escape.

Yes, he is paranoid right now because he learned his lesson already. Not to let this girl alone in a room and things might happen unexpectedly.

Sy sighed when he was finally done checking the wholeness of the room. Nothing is wrong and Aze is still sleeping peacefully in her bed. While hugging the long and thick pillow he put beside her earlier.

He knew Aze would look for that pillow, it was the pillow that he gave to her when they celebrated valentine's day. It was a memorable moment for him because that was the very first time they slept together in a bed.

But nothing happened to them. They just rested for that day while looking at the starry stars in the sky on Symon's wide terrace.

Aze's favorite place is Symon's veranda because it has a beautiful and peaceful view of her. It's like a paradise to Azenith because in that place... In that place, she finds harmony and quiet when she feels so stressed and exhausted in life.

Symon bent down his knees to balance their faces. While staring at Azenith admired and hopeful for everything. He caressed their messed-up hair of Aze which made her groan in drowsy and still sleepy.

She was distracted by Sy's touch on her face, that's why she moved a bit. It isn't the first time that he caressed Aze's face while he was peacefully sleeping. Symon touched Aze's face again while telling her something.

Which made him smile bitterly.

"I hope when it's still good, we can still be." He uttered and smiled bitterly.
