CAN'T LOVE HER

"I know you're nervous. No need to answer. Everything has been answered with all your attention so far. Even all my friends believe that." Theresia got up from her chair and immediately hugged Geva. "I love you, Geva. I know you love me too. Thank you for everything you have done to me." Theresia hugged Gevariel tighter. She was relieved because she had expressed her feelings to a guy who she loved.

"From today we are dating. Right?" Theresia's question were so confusing and made Geva couldn't move. He wanted to speak the truth, but Geva didn't want the girl away from him. If Theresia was hurt, it would make Gevariel feel even more guilty. But if Geva was not honest with his feelings, then they would suffer in the future.

"Maybe I should try. Who knows I might love her too." Gevariel said to himself.

The feeling of doubt was strong within Gevariel but he forced his trembling hands to return theresia's hug. "Whatever you say. If you are happy I will be happy too." Geva spoke after his hands touched Theresia's back.

"Maybe this will be my punishment. I have to take care of the daughter of the person who died because of that accident. It's all my fault. I must be responsible." Geva's mind spoke again.

They formalize their relationship in that way. Nobody knew what would happen in the future. Geva just depended on fate and tried his best.

Geva was still asleep and his body was still under the thick white blanket. "Who contacted me? It's still early." Geva grumbled when his cell phone on the nightstand rang.

"Morning, babe. Today I want to do zumba. Pick me up at home." Theresia greeted enthusiastically followed by an order. If all this time Geva had always agreed to Theresia's request, it was very different today. He felt irritated at the woman. Since dating, he always grumbled when his lover asked him for help. Is this a syndrome of being forced to love? Who knows. Let time answer everything.

"Can't you go alone? I am very tired,Theresia. Yesterday I slept at two o'clock. I am very sleepy now." Geva dared to refuse. He would be tormented if he always pushed himself. Although irritated by Theresia's request, Geva tried to make a voice as soft as silk because he didn't want to make his girlfriend sad.

"Honey, we've been dating for two week and you've never dropped me off or picked me up. All my friends at the zumba place are doubting whether I'm really your girlfriend or not. Please pick me up, darling." Theresia pleaded pleasantly. She wanted to show her zumba friends that the idol chef had officially become her lover.

"Okay. I'll take a bath first." Gevariel immediately turned off his cell phone. He couldn't refuse anymore. "Will I be like this for the rest of my life? It's only been two week since I've been dating her but I feel like I'm already in a lot of pain. This feeling was very different before we were dating. Before dating, I sincerely loved and always helped Theresia. Have these feelings been just friends or do I think of her as a sister?" Various questions appeared in Gevariel's mind until a message on his cellphone reminded him.

"Don't be late, honey! I Love you so much." One message received from Theresia.

"Irritating!" Geva muttered with an irritated expression and rolling eyes.

Gevariel had arrived in front of the magnificent house belonging to the Theresia family. "Hurry in!" Geva gave orders from inside the car. Theresia got into the black car and sat beside Geva. She immediately clinging to his lover and being very spoiled. Gevariel's personal driver could only shake his head at the sudden change in Theresia's character. Gevariel also couldn't say anything.

Theresa was a twenty-years-old girl, shoulder-length blonde hair, oval face, sharp nose, blue eyes, and clean white skin typical of European women. "I've brought breakfast for you." Theresia said proudly but Geva answered with annoyance.

"You already know that I'm not used to eating food cooked by other people. Next time don't bring me breakfast again. I don't want to eat it." Gevariel's face grew even more irritated. For two years they know one each other Theresia should have known his habits. He would only eat the produce of his cooking or the servants who worked in his parents' house.

"Sorry. I'm just trying to be a good girlfriend for you. Next time I'll cook for you by myself." Theresia was still trying to be cheerful and didn't respond to Geva's drastic change in attitude.

"No need! I know you can't cook. Don't trouble yourself. Let's go!" Geva asked her personal driver to immediately drive the car.

Zumba was Theresia's favorite sport. She has made some choreography for the other participants to follow. "Cieee... so it's true that you two are already dating." One of Theresia's friends joked when she saw Gevariel enter the room and sit on a chair reserved for guests.

"When have I ever lied?" Theresia replied curtly and proudly. She was happy because the idols of the women had become her lover.

"Now we believe. You are very lucky to be dating Gevariel. Just look at his face! So handsome." Theresia's friend commented and it made Theresia even happier.

"Don't praise my boyfriend again. Remember! He's my boyfriend." Theresia said proudly while puffing out her chest and patting it.

"Still a girlfriend, There. You can still break up."

"Never!"

Geva was annoyed that she had to wait for her girlfriend. Theresia was a certified zumba instructor. She was not only good at Zumba. She was mastering yoga techniques and meditation. Geva opened several recipes on the internet and tried to find inspiration.

"I'd better take her home. After that I will go shopping and try new recipes." Geva thought about what to do next. Inviting Theresia would only irritate him. Gevariel was confused because he also did not know the cause why he didn't love Theresia. Since dating, his mood got bad whenever he was with Theresia.
