HURT MEETINGS

After all this time the girl did not expect that the universe would reunite her with someone she had been avoiding for a long time. Somehow God brought back the figure of the man she wanted to forget.

Via immediately woke up from her daydream when she heard the voice of someone calling her name which shocked the girl.

"Dera, sorry I didn't hear you calling me."

"No problem, Via. Oh, yeah, would you like to order some food?"

Hearing that made Via immediately nod her head so that now Aldera who saw it smiled.

"Okay, you wait here first, okay. I'll go there to ask for the menu."

"Hm... yes, fine."

After that Aldera immediately got up from his seat leaving a girl who was currently smiling looking at him making the man feel exasperated. Via's beauty has never changed, even this time it has increased.

Via, who was focusing on watching Aldera, accidentally looked at someone so familiar to her right now who was looking back at her, which made the girl immediately freeze in place.

"H-he's looking at me?" she muttered with a pounding heart. But Via immediately shook her head and said again, "No way, he must not be looking at me."

In the end, Via broke the eye contact first because someone she knew so well had returned, making the girl who knew it immediately sighed.

"Via, sorry for making you wait so long," said Aldera, who had just sat down in front of the girl.

The man then gave a book of food and drink menus in this restaurant so Via, who knew about it, noticed it.

"Oh, no need to worry, I understand."

"Alright, which one do you want to order?" asked Aldera with raised eyebrows. "I'll just order this one. Which one are you?"

After a while of looking around, Via finally decided to order the same food as a man in front of her, making Aldera who heard this smile and immediately while shaking his head for a moment.

"Better put it with you," said the girl. "It is okay, right?"

"Sure, fine, but ... are you sure you don't want anything else on the menu?"

"Yes, I'm sure," Via answered with raised eyebrows while nodding her head. "Come on, just call the maid now."

Hearing that made Aldera immediately raise his eyebrows and chuckle for a moment before finally speaking again.

"What's wrong with you?"

Via, who was looking for a servant, immediately turned to her friend. "I'm already very hungry, Dera."

"Alright, alright, I'd better go because it seems the maids are busy at the moment."

After that Via immediately returned to look around and the girl had just realized that the restaurant was very full. It made her bend her face for a moment before finally, something touched her chin making Via shocked.

"Hey, don't pout like that, I don't like seeing it."

"Dera, you surprised me."

Aldera who heard it immediately chuckled with raised eyebrows before the man finally spoke again.

"Oh, yeah? Did I startle you? I'm sorry, Via."

"Never mind, forget it. Well then, you better order right away."

"Hm, alright. Wait here, okay, and don't go anywhere until I get back."

"Okay, you calm down, Dera."

Exasperated, the man immediately ruffled the hair of a girl who was in front of him right now before finally seeing Via who seemed annoyed because he made him who knew about it immediately rush away from her.

Aldera's departure made the girl have to wait. At this time she was watching a man who stood among the many people who were queuing to order before she finally decided to go to the bathroom.

At a different table, a couple of fiancés were ordering their food. A girl who was in front of him had been talking to the young man in front of her, but no one was heard which made her annoyed.

"Dear!" scolds the girl. Meanwhile, a man who had been watching the other way was immediately surprised when he heard the girl in front of him just call him and then said, "Y-yes, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you hear me talking earlier?"

"Sorry," he said with a look of regret. "But if you can't forgive me that's fine, I can understand."

The gaze of the girl in front of him never left her gaze on the man who would soon become her life partner. She took a deep breath before returning to a more serious discussion.

"Van, from the first time we came to this restaurant, I felt that you were a little different."

"O-oh, huh? Different what do you mean, Anna?" said Van with a sad look. Then the man tried to grab the hands of a girl in front of him with a faint smile before finally saying again, "I'm sorry, it must have hurt your feelings a lot, right?"

"Never mind, forget it. I don't want before the wedding we always fight like this," said Anna smiling. "Don't do it again, okay?"

The handsome young man felt guilty, but seeing how Anna was so kind made Van don't want to do it again so now the man nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I won't do it again. But ... will you forgive me?"

"Yes, I forgive you, Van."

Unknowingly there is someone who is currently watching from a distance with a sore heart. One hand touched her chest, which felt tight, and the tears that suddenly dripped made Via immediately wipe them.

At the same time, Aldera also came with a smile that never went away but immediately disappeared when he saw a girl who was in front of him right now like she was crying, making the man who knew it immediately sat down right in front of Via.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"I ..." Via, who was trying to stop her tears, was surprised by someone's voice so that now the girl did not dare to look up at Aldera who was currently in front of her. "Dera looks like I have to go to the toilet again."

"But Via ---" Aldera immediately stopped his words when he saw a girl in front of him who raised her hand in front of him so that the man could only silently stare at the departure of the girl.

He took a deep breath before finally putting his hands on his hips with furrowed brows. He is very worried about Via right now, I don't know what happened to the girl who suddenly cried like that.

"What exactly happened to her?" Aldera continued with his extreme concern.

The man was only afraid that something from within Via would resurface, which made Aldera worried at this time. He just couldn't see how the girl had always struggled with her mentality to recover and return to health. He was the witness to how his best friend struggled to survive when the world shunned her.
