Chapter 26 - Hard to Play for Too Long

"Zia, I'm sorry. I've let you down. Actually, Freya and I have been dating since we were in the first grade of high school." Harshad also couldn't bear to continue to lie to Shazia.

Shazia violently wiped her tears. "Thank you for everything you have done to me! Shad, our friendship turned out to be just this, huh? After knowing this truth. I don't want to have anything to do with you and him either! There are enough theatrics you have played against me." Shazia went straight from the sight of Harshad.

Freya immediately smiled sarcastically after seeing Shazia's departure. Freya also tries to get close to Harshad and tries to explain to Harshad what has happened. Still, Harshad didn't want to listen to Freya's every word. He even made a statement that made Freya look very despicable.

"You, never approach me again! I am indeed a stupid man. I sacrificed friendship for a woman like you. To be honest! I'm sorry I knew you. I trust you even more than Shazia. But, this is what you've told me, Freya! I'm disappointed in you." Harshad left Freya directly.

Freya immediately cursed after seeing Harshad had passed far from before her.  "Damn! Everything is already a mess! I won't be able to fix it. Stupid Freya, you are indeed stupid!" Freya immediately vented her frustration to the door beside her.

Shazia already knew the betrayal they committed. However, Shazia's heart still felt very painful. Plus, Shazia learns that they often have inappropriate relationships for them to have at this age. Shazia also took advantage of the remaining lesson hours to vent all her emotions on top of the school building.

"I also did not expect to hear this fact. My heart hurts so much to hear it! Not only have you lied to me but you have also broken and broken my heart to pieces. How can I accept a man who has slept with another woman? How can it be?" Shazia directly covered her face with both palms.

Harshad immediately stopped stepping on his feet after hearing all of Shazia's words. Shazia also immediately retracted her gaze after hearing a thumping sound from behind. Shazia stood up from her seat. She sarcastically looked at Harshad's arrival. Harshad with a regretful face tried to get close to Shazia.

"Zia, I am. I'm sorry, Zia. I made a big mistake against you. I didn't mean that. I hide this truth because I want to keep your feelings, Zia." Harshad tried to hold Zia's hands.

Shazia quickly switched from the presence of Harshad. After three steps of walking forward, Shazia immediately stopped and turned her head towards Harshad. "What did you say, Shad!? You want to keep my feelings!? Cih! That's a very classic reason! If you want to take care of my feelings. You should have told me the truth from the beginning, Shad. You just say that you love women, that is! There's no need to introduce her to me and make her by best friend! And make it present between the two of us. I don't mind if you say that you like it either. I don't mind, Shad. But, the way you lied to me, made me feel very disappointed. In fact, I am happy to accept the woman who will later make me become distant from you." Shazia immediately threw her gaze to the right side.

Harshad stepped closer to Shazia. "What do you mean, Zia? I don't understand at all?"

Shazia sarcastically turned her gaze back to Harshad. "In fact, until this moment you don't understand how I feel either!? Your heart is closed and can only accept that woman in your heart! I love you, Shad! I always try to look perfect in front of you. But, you always look at that woman. You prefer her! I was almost frustrated after hearing all your lies. I would love to end my life here! But, I also didn't want to make the woman laugh after hearing and seeing my death. I don't want to! I'm disappointed with you guys. The person I trust the most has been lying to me for years. Where is your heart?! Where!" Shazia repeatedly pushed Harshad's chest using her index finger.

Harshad immediately hugged Shazia in the middle of the attack. "I'm sorry, Zia. I'm sorry, I don't want this to happen. I tried to tell you, but Freya always prevented me from saying it. I'm sorry, Zia. But I love Freya. I love him," Harshad said, extending his embrace to Shazia.

Harshad's candid statement further brought Shazia's tears to a break. Shazia who had been eager to return the hug from Harshad. Now, I'm trying to get away from that hug.

"Let go!" the tears from Shazia's lacrimalis no longer ring. "Okay, then. I'll forget everything, Shad. This is what you want, right?" 

"It's not like that, Zia. That's not what I mean!"

"Already, I no longer want to be dissolved in this sadness. I have also decided on the path I need to take in the future. Hopefully this path I have chosen can allow you to continue to be with Freya." Shazia passed directly from the sight of Harshad.

After descending three steps, Shazia accidentally saw Freya who was hiding behind the door to the roof of the school building. Shazia continued to step foot until the last step. After that, Shazia immediately turned her gaze to Freya who turned out to be, also looking at her from above.

"You just look at Freya! I'm going to destroy you!" grumbled Shazia after taking her eyes off Freya.

Shazia kept pensive in her room. Both eyes kept staring blankly at the quiet street. It's been almost a week that Shazia hasn't been out of the room. She also had to do all the final exams at home. Shazia accidentally hires a psychiatrist to create a fake health letter. Both parents also did not know that all this time the psychiatrist who was called to the house was Shazia's paid person. 

Shazia was more moody in her room. In fact, all the effort Bryan made to comfort him was always wasted. Shazia has also released Harshad. In fact, everything related to Harshad had also been deeply buried by Shazia. Graduation day is just around the corner. However, Shazia also still doesn't want to go to school.

"Zia, come on! Don't be like this constantly. Come on dong, you have to tell me, Zia. Don't be buried like this. Who? Who made you like this? Tell me, Zia." Bryan tries to bring up Shazia's lost spirit.

"Sister, I'm sorry. I don't want to tell you about it. I just don't want to remember something that's going to make me cry again, Bryan. I have also decided to continue my studies abroad." 

Bryan immediately rounded his eyes after hearing Shazia's words. "Aa-what? Do you want to continue your studies abroad?" said Bryan until wide open when he said that.
