Chereads / A Clown (English Version) / Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

Chapter 17 - Chapter 17

No one knows how Jane feels only she and God knows. Jane left the room in a hurry to the parking lot and drove off in her car. During the trip Jane just daydreamed there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

TINNN TINNNNNN.

"Wow, hurry up, that green light!" Shouts the rear car.

God, Jane was daydreaming so much that she didn't even notice the light was green. Then Jane hit the gas again. I don't know why but seeing Teo with Val always hurts Jane so much.

Jane has to refocus on work, a lot of work piled up today because Teo isn't around. But he tried his best to focus but couldn't, without realizing it, Jane's tears were flowing.

"Sis, SIS!" Call someone.

"Oh yeah why?" Jane asked.

"Ma'am I've been calling,"

"Sorry sorry I was a bit out of focus, again I apologize," answered Jane.

"Are you still crying?"

"E-eh?" Jane hastily wiped her tears.

"Why are you there?"

"It's okay, I just got the news, don't worry," Jane said with a smile.

"Oh, I hope it's not a bad thing, sis, until you cry like that,"

"Yeah, so what's wrong?" Jane asked again.

"This is the report that you asked for before the break,"

"Oh, let me see," Jane was looking around.

"Okay, I accept this report, thank you," Jane continued with a smile.

"Yes, you're welcome, but are you okay?"

Jane smiled, "It was fine anyway."

"Then I'll go back to the room first, ma'am, excuse me."

"Yes," Jane answered curtly.

Come on, Jane, focus on a lot of work today, don't be a crybaby, you're the backbone of the family now, Jane said to herself.

Drrtttt drrrtttt.

Jane looked at her cell phone. It was a call from Lee. "Hello?" Jane.

"Hello Jane, are you still in the hospital?" Lee asked.

"No, I'm already at the office. Why?" Answered Jane.

"Then who is the idiot with?" Lee asked again.

"Her past ... Maybe?" Answered Jane.

"Her past?" Said Lee repeated Jane's words.

"Yes,"

"Don't tell me he's with Val, is that what you mean?" Guess Lee.

"Yeah, he's with Val."

"Tch how shameless, the child is still close to Teo, even though he used to go alone, now he comes as he pleases, there's no sin, kid. I feel like I've seen a girl like her," Lee was annoyed.

"Come on, Lee, maybe there's a reason why he left Teo." Val replied.

"That's not it, Jane, if that idiot gets upset again, we'll be in trouble too. You know he's going to try to kill himself first, right?" Lee said reminded of an old memo on Jane.

In the past, Teo had attempted suicide after being left by Val without any clarity five years ago, Teo tried hard to find Val. But unfortunately, as if swallowed by the earth, Val just disappeared.

Then the second suicide attempt when his late father lived. Teo had tried to drink rat poison in his room, fortunately at that time it was discovered by Lee who was visiting Teo's house.

"But that's when his father died,"

"Yeah, he's not strong enough to leave Jane with the two people she loves," obviously Lee.

"Come on, Lee, don't let Teo choose, if Val really wants to be close to him again, Teo isn't Lee's little boy, he can tell the difference," said Jane.

"So what about you? You have been hanged for years without any status. If he really could choose, he should have chosen you, who had been accompanying him until now, not that woman!" Lee said getting annoyed.

"Already Lee, I'm not in the mood to talk about this and I also have a lot of work to do," answered Jane.

"Yeah tap-"

Tuttt tuttt

Jane hung up before Lee could continue lecturing her.

It was after Val left. Jane was always by Teo's side initially to encourage him to get back to his normal life. But somehow over time something grew in Jane's heart, namely feelings of affection and love for Teo.

Jane realizes that she shouldn't fall in love with someone who hasn't been able to forget her past. But what can you do? Love just came like spring in Jane's heart.

It blooms like a beautiful Anemone flower. Anemone flowers symbolize hope and waiting. Just as Jane was waiting and expecting Teo. But this time it felt like the flower didn't grow as beautifully as usual.

Jane knew that sooner or later Val would return to Teo. He had to be prepared for what happened. Jane didn't want to ruin the friendship she had built just because of love. Because for Jane love doesn't mean having to have, even though it sounds cliché but that's what happened to Jane.

If any of you ask why Jane doesn't express her feelings to Teo. It was because Jane was afraid, not afraid of rejection but fear of the consequences after she confessed her feelings to Teo. It's like everything goes wrong but this is love, sometimes it can be so happy but sometimes it's also so painful.

Thinggg ... Message notification sound.

'I'll come to your apartment later,' contents of the message from Lee.

Jane was lazy to reply to messages from Lee because it was useless forbidding her to come the child was so stupid.

The sun slowly disappeared from the earth, its light was now replaced by the beautiful moonlight. Under the beautiful moonlight there is a woman who is sad. He is sad that his current situation is not about work, nor wealth but this is about unrequited love.

"Why did you come to my apartment? Don't bother," Jane said seeing Lee in front of her apartment door.

"You're so stupid, watch out, get out of your way," Lee answered as he stepped into Jane's apartment.

"Oh, you're just playing sneak peek into someone's apartment," Jane was annoyed.

"Is there no food? I'm hungry because," said Lee indifferently.

"Huh? What's in your fridge that only contains eggs and milk?" Lee continued.

"Are you playing with people's refrigerators? Your life isn't very clear," Jane closed the refrigerator.

"I'm hungry, don't you have any food?" Lee asked as he stepped onto the sofa.

"Nothing!" Jane replied annoyed.

"Order pizza, I want to eat pizza," tell Lee to send Jane.

"You just ordered, you even ordered me," reject Jane.

"Ah, hurry up, I'll pay for the order later," Lee said forcefully.

"You're the one who paid, just be careful, even if you ask me to pay, I'll throw you out too," threaten Jane.

"Yes, yes, naughty."

"I've already ordered!" Jane while showing her cellphone screen.

"Good job!" Lee replied while continuing to watch the film, I don't know what film Lee was watching but it seemed like an action film.

Silence began to occur there was no conversation between the two. Lee was so focused on watching movies and eating pizza, while Jane was busy with her cellphone.

"So you have something to say?" Lee asked suddenly.

"What are you talking about, you're not very clear," Jane.

Lee just stared at Jane. "What are you looking at me for? Sika huh?" Jane continued in an annoyed tone.

"Don't be so strong, I know what's in your heart Jane." Said Lee.

Jane suddenly fell silent without realizing her tears were flowing again that night. I don't know how many times Jane has cried in front of Lee. But this time it really hurt.

"I told you he was an idiot," Lee continued.

Jane looked down in tears, "I-I don't know anymore Lee." said Jane.

Lee hugged Jane trying to calm her down, "You have the right to be happy Jane, don't be like this," said Lee.

That night Jane burst into tears in front of Lee, her defenses crumbling. If only Teo knew how much Jane loved him more than he loves Val. But unfortunately Jane does not dare to express her feelings and prefers to keep it hidden.

Only Lee knows Jane's feelings, Lee had offered to help Teo be more sensitive to him. But Jane refuses she doesn't want Teo to know her feelings. So who's at fault here? Is Teo with his ignorance of Jane's feelings. Or Jane because she is unable to express her feelings?

I don't know but sometimes love is that complicated. Hikss.. Just thinking about it already made Jane's feelings shattered. Is this what people call the Friendzone? Pathetic.
