1 week later...
The mood is getting worse.
Ivan away. And Gavin became reluctant to rebuke Jevan again. I know this is not what we want. But neither Gavin nor Jevan have any intention of improving our friendship. I've been trying to improve the relationship between the three of us, but every time Jevan sees me. He will dodge quickly.
Honestly, I'm really sad. I had to lose one of my best friends, Jevan Putra.
A warm man with lots of love, Lami is lucky to have Jevan. I feel like I want to be selfish to have Jevan. But that's not a good thing is it?
Taking something that doesn't belong to us.
Ah... besides I also don't last much longer.
I smiled weakly looking at the beautiful view on the rooftop with Gavin- the man was sleeping using my thigh as his pillow. The wind continued to hit my face which began to thin.
"What thoughts?"
My Obsidian stared at Gavin who opened his eyes. "Eh? Not sleeping?"
Gavin shook his head slowly.
"I just braked."
"Yes, a child also knows that you are braked, can you stare?" I snorted.
Gavin closed his eyes again, enjoying the wind that kept blowing from up here.
"Vin..." Gavin just cleared his throat in response to me. "I-I want to give up."
Suddenly Gavin's eyes widened to my surprise. Gavin changed his position to sit and his eyes were still on me.
You're serious?"
I move my head. "This time I want to find Jevan again, and I just want to tell you about my feelings."
"I can't hope for more to improve our friendship like it used to be," I whispered.
Gavin pulled me into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, there is still me."
Instantly my heart sank, as if numb. I feel like I'm becoming a stupid woman because I never glanced at Gavin, whose feelings are more sincere.
"Vin..."
"What?"
"N-later when I'm not there anymore, scold Jeje if she's naughty, if she eats late, and keeps forgetting to do her assignments- uh, that's impossible. She's a smart person, isn't she?" I chuckled softly.
"Ha? Um.. yes." Gavin's voice sounded very low.
"Vin?"
"Why everyone?"
Unknowingly, I smiled sadly in Gavin's arms.
"You take care of yourself if I'm not there anymore."
"Hey?!" Gavin just let go of his hand. "Why do you say that sis? You can definitely recover All." I shook my head, very slowly.
"Promise me to always be there for the rest of my life..."
"Aletta!" he exclaimed.
Suddenly I sobbed softly.
"t-thanks."
Again and again, Gavin hugged my very thin body. "No! You have to get well All!"
"please..stay with me.." muttered Gavin in his heart.....
