It will hurt her but it will hurt him more.

The day of the engagement party came. Rosa hadn't seen Leo since the day he came to her room. she hadn't told anyone about not even Anna her friend. her parent's noticed the change in her she wasn't the happy and cheerful soul in the house anymore she sets most of the time in her room. her mother understood her daughter suffering. her only hope was that she will meet someone and makes her forget her feelings for Leo.

Elena has always noticed the way that Leo treated Rosa since she was a child it was like she was something precious to him that he needs to protect. she remembers when Leo once told her that Rosa is like the beautiful light that he sees the world with if she ever left his side then he will be blind be because nothing will be the same without her.

...

Rosa was packing her clothes when her phone ring it was an unknown number " Hello. " she answered

" Rosa. it's me, John. "

" Hey. John, " John have been calling her for the last two days but she didn't answer him. right now all that she wants is to try to escape the reality and just forgot about everything.

" You haven't been answering my calls so I called from this number. Rosa can I meet you I want to talk with you if you don't mind? " John asked. he was always straight forward man.

Rosa looked at the time it was almost the time for the engagement party and she was planning to leave the house before it " Alright. text me the address. " she replied

" That won't be necessary. I will come to your house. is that okay? " John was being careful to not push her too much. Leo had told the other day about everything that happened and that's why he wants to speak to her.

" Yes. " Rosa replied and hang up the line.

...

Twenty minutes later.

" John. my dear, I haven't seen you lately. " Elena hugged him. John was like her son she had known him since he was a child.

" I'm sorry aunty Elena. I missed you too. " John replied

" It's alright. do you want to drink something? " Elena asked already walking towards the kitchen.

" Sorry for letting you wait. " Rosa came out of her room

" It's alright. can we talk outside? " John said. nodding her head the both of them went outside the house.

" I know you are wondering why I have called you especially in a day like this. " John spoke and saw Rosa nodded her head " You already know that today Leo and Eve engagement and you also aware of the fact why he did this. " Job pause nothing the change in her facial expressions.

" Leo is afraid of losing you of not having you in his life anymore," he added

Rosa understood the meaning behind John words " Don't you think it's a bit selfish to ask me that. It's like you are telling me to not move on with my life. Let's not make things difficult Leo and me, we don't have feelings for each other. I think it's for the best to not see each other for a while. "

" I'm sorry if I have offended you but Leo is my friend Rosa. You don't know what you mean to him. He was broken and you fixed him and before he knew it he fall in... " Rosa interpreted him.

" I'm leaving today. " Rosa spoke trying to hold back her tears " I can't stay here it will only hurt me more. "
