Ice Cream
No one knows the answer, so just wait
#Rainata Deviana Senja
Crushed... in his heart Gevan was devastated when he had to choose to stop fighting even though he had not even tried.
Gevan was silent he was looking for topics to talk about but never found it, when it was still Rain didn't respond at all, Rain was silent as she turned her face to the side staring at the street she was passing
Gevan kept staring ahead at the highway he was going through, time felt long, motionless, as if it had stopped at that moment, awkwardness approached the two of them, but absolutely no one tried to open the conversation
silence
One second…
Two seconds…
Three seconds…
Four seconds…
Five seconds…
Awkwardness envelops the two of them, neither of them intend to utter a single word
silence
Until Rain turned towards Gevan and started to speak,
"Gevan"
"Yes beauty?"
"I want to ask,"
"Ask what Beauty? Just ask"
"Am I wrong still hoping for Arkan to come back?"
"Wrong"
"Why is it wrong Ge? What's so wrong if I still love him?"
"You're not wrong to love him, even if you love him to death you're not wrong, but the location of your mistake is that you hope for something that is not certain"
"You mean Gevan?
"You love Arkan right?"
"Yes Gevan"
"Too bad what honey?"
"Really love"
"You love Arkan right?"
"Yes Gevan"
"So much love, what love?"
"Love so much"
"Arkan who are you?"
"Friend and brother, but I love him and love him like a lover"
"You two are dating?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"I am scared"
"Why are you afraid?"
"I'm afraid that if I go out with him, when I break up later I will lose him as a lover and as a friend, I'm not ready for that"
"This is your fault"
"How was it my fault?"
"You think too far, you have not tried, you will not know the results"
"Then what should I do, Gevan?" asked Rain glumly
"Everything has happened, the rice has become mush, nothing can be changed"
"Yes Gevan" Rain answered with a sad face
"Do you know where Arkan is now?"
"No Gevan, I do not know"
"That's your fault too"
"Why my fault?"
"You hope for something that is uncertain, even you yourself don't know where he is, when will he come back here? You don't even know if he will come back here again or not."
"Then what should I do, Gevan?"
"Stop expecting him, don't waste your energy in vain"
"Can I forget it?"
"Don't Forget Beautiful"
"Then?"
"Let him go. Because the more you try to forget him, the more you will remember about him."
"I have been with him since childhood Gevan, it will definitely be difficult for me to let him go like that. Besides, I know he just left my life, not left this world. So should I let it go?"
"It's all in you Beauty, it's all up to you. My advice is to stop being stupid"
"I'm not stupid Gevan"
"Too often follow your heart and never use logic can be categorized as stupid beautiful"
"I'm confused Gevan"
"Confused why Beautiful?"
"Can everything go that fast? Arkan is like half of the soul in my life, without him I feel like half of my soul is gone and what's left here is only my body, I feel like I've lost my mind as if I've lost my way. I have no support anymore, as long as this is only him who is the support of my life. When he left 3 years ago I was empty Gevan, I was broken, I was sick, I wanted to scream, I wanted to cry, I wanted to rage but I didn't know who I should take it out on. I only have him, my only life and even the only thing i have was also taken away. I am sick, I need him, maybe only with his presence I can recover. But I don't even dare to hope for recovery, even the doctor never promised me to recover Gevan" Rain said at length until the tears came back
Gevan who saw that felt guilty, he had made Rain cry like that
"I'm sorry beautiful"
"No, Gevan is not wrong"
"I was wrong beautiful, sorry"
"Gevan can you stop the car for a moment?"
"Yes, what do you want beautiful?"
"I want to buy ice cream"
"Okay, you wait here let me enter the Minimarket"
Gevan moved his car to the side of the road and stopped right in front of a minimarket
"No need Gevan, I can do it myself"
"Your eyes are swollen, you better wait here, let me buy it"
"Thanks Gevan"
"You're welcome, beautiful, you're like this because I was the one who forced you to stop thinking about Arkan, I'm sorry, beautiful, maybe everything really takes time, be patient. I know you are strong, beautiful"
"Thanks Gevan"
"You don't need to thank me all the time, I didn't do anything. Until whenever I will replace Arkan's role first, I will take care of you as much as I can, I will support your life, I will always be in your life, I will love you Even more than Arkan loves you, from now on you won't feel alone anymore, you won't feel lonely anymore. You're strong, beautiful, don't cry anymore, OK?"
"Thanks Gevan"
"Stop saying thank you Beauty, don't you have any other words?" Gevan asked with a brief smile
Deg
That smile again...
Arkan I miss you, where are you? Rain asked in his heart
"Hey, don't daydream, beautiful," Gevan said, patting Rain's shoulder softly
"Eh… yes Gevan, do you want to go out and buy the ice cream or should I just go there?"
"I won't, you wait here"
"Ready Commander" Rain replied with a smile
Gevan smiled as he saw Rain able to smile again. The next second Gevan ruffled Rain's hair slowly while muttering "Beautiful"
deg..
For the first time Rain felt something strange about his heart, he felt that strange rush again, but different. If usually Arkan used to make it like this, now it's different, Gevan is the mastermind behind everything. He felt that strange desire when he was with Gevan
Does Rain fall in love with Gevan?
No one knows the answer, so just wait
Gevan then got out of the car and headed towards the Minimarket
Inside the Minimarket…
Gevan took 2 packs of ice cream, he was confused and forgot to ask what ice cream Rain wanted, he immediately reached into his trouser pocket and took the square object from his trouser pocket. After finding it he immediately searched for Rain's contact then pressed the green button…
The number you have dialed is not active...
Gevan tried again
The number you have dialed is not active...
Looks like Rain's cellphone is dead he thought
Not wanting to bother, he took two Cornetto Ice Creams with Strawberry flavor and Oreo flavor. When he was about to take the Strawberry flavored one hand he would also take the Ice Cream and accidentally that handheld Gevan's hand which touched the Ice Cream first.
In a split second she and Gevan both turned,
"You? What do you need here?" asked Gevan softly but piercingly
