Then Rei held Alina because he was afraid that Alina would not be able to control herself. Rei then opened the car door and told Alina to get in.
Reino, Alina and Danendra are high school friends, the three of them can be said to be comrades in arms.
However, Reino had to go to continue his studies abroad to be able to replace his father running his business.
Ever since Reino was overseas, the three of them had lost contact, and never contacted each other. But the three of them were reunited after both finished college.
Reino has always had feelings for Alina, but Rei can't possibly be the destroyer between Alina and Danendra's relationship.
>>On the way home<<
Rei's been seeing Alina gloomy accompanied by tears. "Are you okay?". Rei asked.
Alina could only glance and smile. Alina was still crying, she was still in sorrow.
"Where are you going now?" Rei asked.
Alina glanced at him indifferently. "I don't want to go home first, I want to calm myself first!". Rei took a breath then smiled and said again! "Okay, tell me if you want to go somewhere then I will take you. Now tell me!".
"I want to go somewhere, where no one can bother me!". Said Alina.
"Hearing Alina's answer, Rei immediately fell silent thinking about a good place. I have to take her to a place that can calm her down so she doesn't want to hurt herself again". Rei thought while glancing at Alina with a complicated expression.
Alina was silent, and she leaned back in the car seat, her eyes blank, and her mind wandering somewhere.
Rei was very worried to see Alina, and suddenly Alina cried profusely. "Aaaaa..... Alina screamed while grabbing her own hair. Get me out of here, I just want to die, I don't want to live anymore". Alina shouted hysterically.
Rei was shocked to hear Alina's words, his expression getting more complicated. Rei was very tense when he saw Alina's expression getting worse. Rei stopped his car on the side of the road. "Are you out of your mind, ask me to drop you off here?". Rei said, annoyed.
How could Rei drop Alina in a quiet place and no one was there.
"Enough, drop me here." Alina shouted.
She tried to open the car door and wanted to jump. "I just want to die, I don't want to live anymore". Alina shouted.
"Enough Alina, enough. You can't continue like this, you are still young, you are beautiful, and you still have parents who still need you and also they love you very much and you also still have many friends and closest people who still need you and still care about you, Alina....! Don't be silly like this, you still have a long way to go...! You think by committing suicide you are free from problems, no Alina..! You make things worse, think about it carefully." Rei lost control of Alina's behavior.
This is the first time Rei cares about someone so much, he feels disappointed to see Alina's behavior.
Hearing all of Rei's words, Alina fell silent and was afraid of Rei. Alina also saw Rei talking for the first time that he lost control like that.
"Now do it if you want to kill yourself, I will not stop you". Rei said firmly.
Alina just kept silent and looked down embarrassed to hear Rei's second words.
"I'm really outrageous with myself, I'm selfish, I never really thought about my parents, I lost my own feelings". Alina thought.
She realized that what she was doing was wrong. "I'm sorry,,,! If I've disappointed you". Said Alina with a more complicated expression as she apologized to Rei.
"I'm also sorry if I overreacted with you, I didn't mean to interfere, but I feel it's very unfair". Rei said firmly.
Rei glanced at Alina. "Just so you know, my heart is very broken to see this behavior of yours!".
"Didn't you ever realize that from the first I liked you,,,?". Rei's mind grumbled.
"Why are you silent?". Rei asked.
Alina wiped her tears, she tried to smile again in front of Rei. "Oh… Can you take me home?". I suddenly thought of my mother.
Rei looked at Alina's face complicatedly, then he took a breath. "Okay, now I'll take you home."
Then Rei started his car and drove slowly, the atmosphere between them was quiet.
>> Alina's house <<
Rei has arrived in front of Alina's house, and Rei doesn't want to take Alina away because he sees Alina's body in clothes that are soaked by rain.
Rei got out of his car and immediately opened Alina's car door. He brought Alina to the door.
Immediately, Alina's mother came out. "Alina...". Calling her mother, she was very sorry to see the condition of her daughter who was soaking wet.
"Sorry Aunt, I'm late to take Alina home". Rei said politely.
"Thank you, then please enter first!". Said Alina's mother.
"No need, I also want to go home soon." Rei replied, actually he felt bad refusing Alina's mother's request.
"Just come in first, Aunt will make hot tea for you, come on". Said Alina's mother.
Rei became awkward, on the one hand he didn't want to disturb Alina, on the other hand Rei didn't like Alina's mother's invitation. "Let". Rei said.
Alina's mother then went inside while embracing Alina. "Now you take a shower and change your clothes". Said Alina's mother.
Alina who looks lethargic and has no enthusiasm just nodded with her mother, then Alina went to her room to take a shower and change her wet clothes.
>>Living Room<<
Rei, who was dressed in wet clothes, felt cold, he waited casually in the living room. And suddenly Alina's mother brought warm tea and some snacks. "Please drink". Said Alina's mother while serving her warm tea for Rei.
"Thank you Auntie, sorry for bothering you." Rei said.
"Not at all, but it was me who asked you to stop by first." Obviously Alina's mother.
Rei smiled "Hehe, yes Auntie".
Alina's mother looks gloomy, her eyes seem blank. "Em.. Auntie, why?. "Auntie, is there a problem?". Rei asked.
Alina's mother realized. "Oh… It's nothing". Alina's mother replied.
Alina's mother then took a deep breath. Alina, because the accident that happened to her made her very shocked...! I was afraid that Alina would not want to have another relationship with a man because she was traumatized. In fact, soon Alina and Danendra will get married. But everything was different, it wasn't Danendra who went home but instead his body was neatly wrapped in a shroud in a coffin! Auntie just wants Alina to return to the way she used to be, who is cheerful." Alina's mother said with a sad facial expression, she poured out her worries for Rei.
