Best Mate [English Version]

Bab 8

Rheya's love mission: failed.

There is no more mission for Rheya's love. It's all over. Rheya has to accept the fact that not everything she wants goes according to her wishes. She prefers to call it a failure rather than the phrase "unmatched." Oh, maybe it's too early to say "soul mate" when she's still in class XI.

Moving on from first love is certainly not easy, especially since they are still at the same school. In the past, when Rheya and Pinot didn't know each other, they never met at school. But now, they often meet, see, and even cross paths. The universe seems to be nosy because it always brings them together.

On every occasion, sometimes Rheya would secretly glance or steal glances at Pinot. The words move on are easy to say, but in reality, Rheya has to hold back her feelings.

Maybe if you count it has been five days, they just passed each other, without saying hello to each other. There was no sweet "Hi, Pinot" greeting from Rheya. No one chased or followed Pinot. Even Pinot stopped teaching at Rubel. What relieved her even more was that Niko stopped approaching Rheya. Everything returns to its original place. The typhoon has passed, but Rheya's feelings have not passed.

"Rhe, what do you want to eat?" Eri looked at the food stalls in the school cafeteria one by one.

Rheya sat down, her eyes searching for the menu she wanted to eat, but nothing on the menu caught her attention.

"Just follow along," said Rheya, not at all in the mood.

"Want meatballs?" Fara offered.

"Okay." Rheya just obeyed.

"Me too." Eri joined Fara towards the meatball shop.

Rheya sat alone, observing the students with a lazy look. Laughter, smiles, jokes, felt empty to her. Suddenly her gaze caught Pinot's figure walking into the cafeteria. Even before she knew Pinot, she was still fine. Their eyes then met, they stared at each other in silence.

Even though time has passed, the swell in Rheya's chest is still warm. She tried to forget, but she missed him more and more. Having your heart broken before dating hurts more than breaking up after dating, according to Rheya.

After their eyes met for about ten seconds, Pinot looked away first, then walked towards the drinks refrigerator.

Rheya was still unmoved. The tail of her eyes followed Pinot's steps, for a moment Pinot turned to her, then looked away with a flat, monotone face as she knew.

Rheya sighed heavily. Why does her heart hurt more every time she sees Pinot? She wants her relationship with Pinot to return to the way it was before. even better before she knew Pinot. Her life might be fine.

"Rhe, there is a book bazaar in Gramed." Eri occupies a wooden bench opposite Rheya. "Go there, shall we?"

"Hmph," said Rheya without interest.

Eri and Fara exchanged glances, then turned to observe Rheya. Actually they know how Rheya feels, but they choose to pretend they don't know. They want the best for Rheya so that Rheya doesn't get hurt, but if the choice they choose actually hurts Rheya's feelings, will they just let Rheya continue to be hurt?

"Rhe, are you okay?" Fara saw Rheya's listless face.

"A little dizzy, but it's okay."

Suddenly Rheya was shocked by Fara's palm touching her forehead.

"Oh my, Rhe, you have a fever." Fara's palm that was touching Rheya's forehead moved to touch Rheya's left and right arms. "Your body is so hot. We're going to the UKS." She was ready to get up from her seat, but Rheya stopped her.
