It had been almost half an hour waiting for the girl, but there was no sign that Via seemed to make Aldera worry about her even more. Now and then he looked around just to make sure, he was made uneasy by the girl at this time.
"Via, why are you taking so long?" he muttered as he tapped the table with one index finger. "What exactly happened to you?"
Aldera's gaze had been on the toilet with the hope that the girl would come out of there until a few moments later someone he had been waiting for was seen making the man who knew it immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sorry, you must be annoyed waiting," said Via. "Forgive me."
"No, Via. But I'm only worried about you." Aldera sighed again and then began to hold the wrist of a girl in front of him. Meanwhile, Via, who realized this, was surprised before finally returning the gaze from her best friend. "Are you okay, Via? I was really afraid something might happen to you."
"I'm fine, Aldera." Via smiled at the person in front of her.
"Are you sure?" the man asked for sure. "You can tell me in case there's something you don't want to do or bother you."
For a moment the girl was silent after hearing what the person in front of her had just said. Via lowered her head for a moment with a bitter smile before finally looking up at Aldera who was currently looking at her worriedly.
"I-I'm fine, Dera."
Via can't tell the man she's with right now that her best friend is here and what hurts, even more, is ... because he's with someone else.
This made Via again shed tears so that Aldera who saw it took a deep breath before finally moving from his seat to approach the person in front of him this time.
"Come on," said Aldera who was now holding out his hand to her. "We'd better find another place."
Via who heard it was immediately flabbergasted while looking around before the girl finally spoke.
"But Dera, didn't we just order food?"
"That's less important than your own comfort, Via." Aldera smiled, he nodded his head to reassure a girl who was in front of him right now. "Let's go."
Meanwhile, someone watched the departure of the two people with different feelings. He did not know what had happened to him, every time he saw the figure of the girl he always felt familiar with him.
This is where the two humans are now. In a car with an awkward atmosphere because the two did not know what to do and how until one of them started a conversation.
"Aldera," Via called with her head lowered. "Sorry, yeah, because of me things got messed up like this."
"Why are you apologizing to me, Via?"
"I just feel sorry for you."
Aldera immediately smiled with one hand which was currently touching the back of the girl's hand which made Via again surprised by what her best friend had done.
She quickly withdrew her hand slowly, she glanced at Aldera who was surprised by her behavior so that Via now really felt guilty.
"You don't have to feel guilty like that, Via. I care more about your feelings than my comfort."
"Thank you, Aldera."
It had been a long time since Via had gone alone with this man, but still, it felt very different. The better Aldera is towards her, the more guilt she has towards someone she is with at this time.
"Via," called Aldera. "Didn't I tell you before?"
The girl who heard it now looked at the person beside her with raised eyebrows.
"If you don't feel that I am burdened by you. I did all of this sincerely, and it never crossed my mind that you made me this way."
"Yes, I understand Aldera. Sorry."
"Via, please don't ever apologize to me," said Aldera, who was now watching the road. The man took a deep breath before finally speaking again, "Okay, I understand how you feel."
Somewhere at this time, Mara was at home alone. The woman continued to look at the clock on the wall because she thought about her daughter who had not yet informed her until finally, her phone rang, making her who knew about it without thinking immediately answered it.
"Hello," Mara said worriedly.
"Hello dear." John smiled at the woman with a happy smile. "What are you doing?"
"John, is Via with you?"
"Oh, Via, yes. Nothing, she's not here yet. I was going to call you to tell it."
"Tell me what?"
"Via is with Aldera, but she'll come here right away."
Mara's brows furrowed after hearing Aldera's name before the woman finally sighed.
"John, did you know that Via feels uncomfortable with Aldera?"
"Yes, I know that. But we can't stop it somehow, can we? After all, it must be our own daughter's wish to accept Aldera's invitation."
"I'm really worried," said Mara with her head lowered. "Have you found Van's whereabouts?"
"Not yet," replied John. "Don't worry, will you. I'd have told you if I had known where the kid was."
Mara who heard it immediately nodded with a smile even though her husband wouldn't be able to see it.
"Yeah, I hope Van is found soon."
It's almost noon and this couple is on their way home. A girl who had been smiling without stopping made Van, who had glanced at her, feel confused about what had happened to that person.
"Anna, I can see that you are currently feeling happy?"
"Yeah, because after all this time you finally want to take your time to eat out together."
"Oh, so just because of that?"
"What more could I want, Van? Just having you by my side is more than enough." Anna who was originally smiling was now looking seriously at the person beside her and again said, "I don't want to lose you."
Hearing this, Van, who had been watching the road, immediately turned to the side with a smile. One of the men's hands immediately grabbed the wrist of Anna which was currently touching her cheek.
"I see, Anna."
During that time, Anna felt lucky because God had brought her together with a young man who was so kind to her and suddenly a sense of dread surged into her heart when she found out that her meeting with Van was an accident that she don't know how long this would continue.
"I love you, Van."
