LBRF (love between religion and family)

CHAPTER 5

LOVE BETWEEN RELIGION AND FAMILY

After Bryan told me to leave I realize how bad I am, I didn’t  realize how stupid I am, hurting the person who had nothing to do but to love me even in my worst. But if I love him back it will be a conflict between us and our family. Right now i don’t  have any face to show off to Bryan.
Bryan was there for me the whole time, But I haven’t  seen his worth and ignores my feelings towards him. And if I love him conflict will arose hayst......
(CRIS P. O. V)
I am sleeping peacefully when I hear someone knocking on the door. And I feel that Bryan fix himself and head off to the door and I can’t clearly understand what they are talking. And both of them left. After a few minutes I can see Bryan’s face full of unexplainable emotions. I wanted to ask but I ignored it instead, it’s his problem so I don’t want him to make me bother.
“Babe” you’re up already?” I ask instead of talking what I noticed
“Yeah babe, I didn’t wake you up because you’re in a peaceful sleep.” He answered.
I get up on the bed and hug him backward.
“Hope you’re okay” I whispered
“Babe I’m totally okay” he answered and face me and hugs me tightly.
“Well if you’re truly okay I’m leaving then” I uttered and loosen my hug and fix myself.
“Okay babe, text me if you’re home I love you” he said and gives me a kiss on the cheek that makes me blush.
I’m on my car when my mom called me.
“mom?” I started.
“Where are you Cris? Have you forgotten that we had a special gathering in the church?!” she said in an angry tone
“Mom I’m on my way I just wash the car because its to dirty Don’t worry mom I won’t miss it” I uttered and hang the call up.
(BRYAN’S P. O. V)
Its been weeks when I and Ethan had a fight and he never comes back, maybe that would be the last time we will seeing each other and its good for the both of us.
Today is Saturday and this is the boring days I ever had in my life. I don’t know why, but every Saturday I feel like I have no one to talk to because everyone in the house is busy on their own ways and here I am doing nothing but laying on my bed.
Thinking of the past weeks makes me feel uncomfortable, but every time I am with Cris all my worries are fading away. Cris has become my happiness, my protector and my everything. While laying on my bed I feel the vibration of my phone, its a message from the unknown number again.
“Sorry for messing things up” stated in the message. But I still can’t figure out whose behind these number. Until I realized it was Ethan when he sent me an emoji that only me and him uses every time we’re saying sorry. It’s the nose emoji. We uses nose emoji instead of sad face because we hit our nose to forgive the person who made a mistake.
“I know this is you Ethan, please stop sending me a message I know your happy and I am as well, lets just focus on what we have right now. I’m  afraid my boyfriend would misunderstood us I don’t want him to be upset.” I replied and turn my phone off. And close my eyes.
Its already 2 o’clock in the afternoon when i open my eyes. I didn’t realize i fell asleep because of boredom. After opening my eyes I take a look on my phone and with my surprise I saw 5 missed calls from Clifford, so I call him back
“hello! Ciff, sorry I wasn’t able to answer your calls I fell asleep, is there anything I can help?” I started when he picks the call
“Uhm..... No! No! Its fine I just called because we’re  on sale here on the café, and since I don’t have any work today  may I ask you to have coffee? hehehehe” he said.
“ohhhh..... I see, sure! Um.. I’ll just fix myself up and go there” I answered
“Nice okay I’ll wait you here see you and thank you bye!” he uttered
“Bye!” I uttered and hang the call up. After fixing myself I immediately head off to the café to see Clifford since this day is so boring it’d  be great to have someone to talk. Because every Saturday Cris is in the church so he could not possibly take me out for coffee or something and I understand him since he was born and raised in a religious family.
“Hi Cliff!” i started when I saw him on the table I’m always choosing every time I’m having coffee there.
“Hi Bry, same order?” he asked,
“hahahahahahaha” I laughed and sits down
“Why are you laughing?” he asked
“haha, I laugh because except Alexa my best friend, also you knows my favourite coffee and that does makes sense already hahaha” I explained.
“I work here remember? So its not that hard to forget your order since I am always the staff whose taking your order.” He uttered. And I just nodded. Well our coffee together went fine I just feel my Saturday is full of doing hahaha since I’ve went out with this person.
“Hope every Saturday we could have coffee” I uttered while going out on the café
“Why? Are Alexa and you is Fighting?” he asked with surprise
“Uhm no its just that Saturdays are the most boring days I have. Well I want my boyfriend to accompany me but he can’t because he is too religious, that is why I am thankful you took me out for coffee” I explained.
“Oh.. I see so you already had someone in your life?, He asked.
“You’re  right, his name is Cris and I met him in a party that i organized. And we just celebrated our second month of love yesterday.” I explained while smiling.
“Uhm....” He said while nodded his head. “okay lets eat!” he added.
“okay hehe” i uttered and we eaten together.

(CLIFFORD’S P. O. V)
Saturdays are my favourite days ever since I became A college. Well at this moment I am on my Third Year in college and at the same time I do part time job here in LA PARKE CAFÉ. I work here for almost 3 years consecutively and every Saturday is my day off.
Honestly as a waiter in the café I can see a lot of people everyday but there’s this one guy who captures my attention. He was first year that time and I’m second year when we met at the counter.
I don’t know if he still remembers me. Then suddenly I bumped into him. That moment is kinda cool because we had conversation in an unexpected way. And when he ask for my number it freaks me out. Buy when he told me he had a boyfriend, that saddens me knowing he’s not available to entertain guys like me.
But being his friend to accompany him for me is super okay. Being his friend is okay because in a friendship I can not feel heart aches and stress. I’m having a crush on him right from the start but unfortunately I was too late.
“uhm...... By the way Bry, uhm..... I would like to invite you to my Sister’s Birthday next Saturday” I asked.
“oahhhh....... Sure I’ll be there just text me the location” he said smiling.
“Uhm........ Ahhhhh.... This time I want to drive you, I ahhhh, I’ll pick you up on your house so that you’re not gonna use your car.” I insisted shyly of course.
“Well uhmmm okay here is my location” he said and gives me a piece of paper with his location.
I know he had already a partner, but I still want to confess what I feel for him. And it’s my chance to be with him as his friend. And whatever the result of my confession I will accept it since it’s my choice. We continued eating and right after that we decided to go home. We said our good byes and head off to our homes.
(BRYAN’S P. O. V)
Clifford is acting strange at the moment. I don’t know why but there’s something he wanted to talk to that I guess he can’t. Well whatever it is I want to hear it from him.
“uhm...... By the way Bry, uhm..... I would like to invite you to my Sister’s Birthday next Saturday”  he asked.
“oahhhh....... Sure I’ll be there just text me the location” I said while smiling.
“Uhm........ Ahhhhh.... This time I want to drive you, I ahhhh, I’ll pick you up on your house so that you’re not gonna use your car.” He insisted shyly to the extent he can’t  look at me.
“Well uhmmm okay here is my location” I said and handed him a piece of paper with my location on it.
Then after eating we decided to go home and say our good byes and head off to our homes.
