TRUCE FOR LOVE PART II

RAF'S POV

I felt my heart jump up in my throat, if that's even possible. I watch in horror as Carla said the words that I so do not need right now. Not that I let it show in my face how much I'm terrified to be alone with Gar but really, does the cosmos really need to make it harder?

It's already been one hell of a month being confused and doing the most stupid things I've done. And as much as I'd love to be confident in marrying the only man I thought I ever loved, I can't. There is always the nagging feeling in the pit of my chaotic brain telling me that something is off, that something is lacking and everything will end in absolute downfall.

I'm trying to do the right thing, or what I think is right.

So here I am, trying to do the right thing.

"Don't bother Gar, she's a busy person." I said, trying to look like it doesn't bother me that my cousin is asking Gar to go with me shopping.

Apparently, Carla can't come with me to help me find a dress cause she receive an emergency phone call and now she's asking Gar a favor to go with me.

"Well, are you busy?" Carla look at Gar and I so hope that Gar gets the message.

Gar looked at me and I hope she gets what I'm trying to say. "Well, I.." She turn her gaze to Carla. "I actually have some stuff to do." She said politely.

I silently thank her with my eyes but her face held no expression, her eyes that were once vibrant looked so distant. I just look at her, trying to read what's in her mind but I just can't, and it bothered me. The sudden feeling of longing and sadness overwhelmed me and I don't like it one bit.

"Well, if that's the case, then you both enjoy the rest of lunch, I need to go now. You sure you're okay?" I looked up at Carla and she's looking at me strangely.

"Yep." I say as she hugged and kissed my cheek.

"I'll see you at the dinner party." She smiled knowingly then turned to Gar and said her goodbyes.

I watch her retreating back until she turned a corner, totally disappearing from my line of sight.

The uncomfortable silence settled in our table is unbearable and I wanna say something just so I can break it. I glance at Garette, thinking of something to say but my brain can't seem to function properly cause all I get is nothing. I just sat there looking at her then she met my gaze, her eyes questioning.

"Uhm, what?" I ask, confused.

"I asked if you're gonna eat that." She said amused, glancing down on my plate. I looked down and found that I haven't really touched my food.

"Ah, yeah." I say, pushing the plate slightly away from me. I just now realized, I totally lost my appetite. It just doesn't feel right eating when I'm disturbed with thoughts, making the food tasteless.

"Really? Well, that's a waste." Her gaze still on my untouched food.

I know and as much as I want to eat, I just can't.
