Scene 15
The two humans in the room were both shocked. Rose just gaped, closing her mouth. Cheryl's tears came down while holding her cheek, which Rose slapped By the most trusted person on earth.
"Just because of a boy who doesn't know whose heart it is for, but you slapped me!" Cheryl's tears fell. Not because of the slap, but she was hurt as if Rose preferred Juna over her.
"You're presumptuous! Why open people's privacy?!"
"But I found an answer! Why does you have to pretend, If you like Juna?"
"Because I want to respect your feelings! You are selfish, Cheryl! Never understand me. Who knows I am a versatile human who can be used at will!" Rose voiced all the complaints she had kept while she was friends with Cheryl.
"Not like that..."
"Shut up!" Snapped Rose.
"I hate you, Cheryl! I hate you!" Cheryl immediately ran to the room. She couldn't bear to hear other hurtful words—painful words than Juna's rejection. Rose are more valuable than anyone, but now?
Cheryl was sobbing and feeling hurt and crying over her cheek that was slapped so pain. She did not think that Rose's strength would be so strong to hit her. Cheryl hugged the pillow, just kept crying. She didn't even have time to tell Meredith.
___________________
Rose thought about all these occurrences. Cheryl knows the deepest feelings she has for Juna. So what do she do now? She could not lie to her feelings. However, friendship with Cheryl is more important than feelings for Juna, but their relationship is already like this.
Rose chose to stop by the ice cream shop. Whatever the problem, eat the solution. She ordered a large serving of 1 cup ice cream. Rose sat outside, which made a large umbrella awning. Just like food, where Rose eats, Juna is there and will disturb her.
Rose just looked at Juna lazily because Juna her relationship and Cheryl started to be like now.
"Very lethargic face." Scolds Juna. Rose watched with a bored face. She is not in the mood to be bothered by that guy. If she has to choose, Rose will sacrifice her feelings and choose their friendship to last.
"I want it." Juna pointed to Rose's ice cream. The girl handed him a white cup filled with chocolate ice cream, and Juna ate it. After one bite, Juna returned it to Rose.
"Your friend isn't here, huh?" Juna looked around, looking for Cheryl. For what, Juna is looking for Cheryl? Rose ignored Juna and continued to eat the ice cream. Juna kicked the table and watched Rose eat like a rage.
Juna supported Rose's chin while looking at Rose. Rose is in a bad mood, so she ignores Juna. She was still thinking about Cheryl. What about that girl? Is Cheryl going to hate her forever? Does their friendship only end here? Even though they had promised to be friends forever. But Rose is angry, Cheryl is presumptuous. Their friendship is as close as a vein, and it's just that reading other people's diaries is a violation of copyright. Cheryl was so presumptuous, and even Rose forgot where she put the book because it had been a long time since she wrote a diary.
"Huh ..." Rose breathed exasperatedly.
"Why?" Juna still supported her chin, looked at Rose in amazement as if it was her first time seeing the Eiffel Tower. If Rose is in a good mood, she has to watch a breathing tutorial video on Youtube, and she forgets how to breathe because of Juna's cute behaviour. So cute. If shw don't want to be selfish, it feels like Rose intends to take this guy away just to keep him in the room.
"It's finished." Rose showed the finished ice cream to the man in front of her.
"Want more?" Bargain Juna. Rose shook her head. Rose followed Juna, who supported her chin.
"Don't keep on frowning, and your cheeks will spill over." Juna pinched Rose's cheek, growled. Little attention like this made Rose continue to have feelings for Juna, to the deepest. Rose knows Juna's attention to her is different. Juna's gaze cannot be deceived. What about Cheryl? Rose realized that so many women on campus had feelings for Juna, including her best friend and even Sandra.
"Your cheeks are getting rounder." Rose was silent when Juna was doing shamming cheeks on her beloved cheeks. She is proud to have chubby cheeks because she looks cute and is proud of the women out there.
Rose supports her chin and looks out at the street. Crowded. Even though Juna was in front of her, she was still thinking about what happened recently. Since being friends for more than two years, this is the first time Rose and Cheryl fought, and even Rose dared to slap Cheryl just because of Juna. Is it true that the guy in front of her is wrong? But all the mistakes of Cheryl, who was too presumptuous to open her diary.
"Can I ask for help?"
"What is that?" Juna still feels at home holding Rose's chubby cheek.
"Please return Cheryl's feelings. She suffered all her life, never considered. Poor her, she's always been neglected." Rose looked at Juna. She knew that her request sounded so ridiculous it almost made no sense. Juna took a deep breath. The handsome boy turned his face and lowered his hand.
"Why do you have to force?" Juna asked in a huff, rubbing his face. As if he objected to Rose's ridiculous request.
"Uh... I didn't force it. Anyway, please reply to Cheryl's feelings." I want it. Rose said how she felt, but Cheryl needed Juna more.
"If I don't want to?" Challenge Juna.
"I can force it." Rose had puppy eyes that didn't look cute, but she hoped that Juna would meltdown.
"Don't look at me like that." Scolds Juna. Rose, who was upset, immediately laughed as loud as possible. She really can't be a graceful girl, but she hopes a man out there can accept her who likes to eat, a man outside who is like Juna, for example.
"So, can you?" asked Rose softly begged.
"Hm ... I thought. I don't know, I'm not sure and I'm not promise."
"I beg you. Her life is sad, not wanting to ask for pity, but she needs someone in her life. Friends are not enough."
"Feelings can't be forced!" Juna denied.
"All feelings can grow because they are used to it. Cheryl is a beautiful, cheerful girl. Although noisy, she is kind. Please."
"So what do I get paid?" Juna quipped, laughing. Rose likes to hear Juna's crisp laugh. The song was melodious to her ears, like colossal lullaby music.
"You will find a beautiful angel who promises to live faithfully to death." Answered Rose. Juna laughed again. Rose is acting so cute in his eyes now.
"And I'll be a prince on horseback?" Rose quickly nodded. Then she laughed out loud. Juna knew the nickname Cheryl on him. Does this guy not ilfeel if he imagines that prince is a collection of colourful horses. Juna also chuckled. The boy rubbed Rose's cheek again. Rose fell silent.
"I can't promise. But I'll try." Roses can breathe freely. She sacrificed all her feelings for their friendship. Even though she will bury her feelings for Juna from now on, maybe, she will still carve the name Juna in the bottom of her heart, or Rose will erase the name. To be sure, all she did was their friendship, and she did it for the sake of Cheryl's happiness.
__________________
Cheryl was still curled up in the blanket. Sadly, it won't go away. My only friend will disappear from circulation. Cheryl will live without Rose once again. A Rose is oxygen in her life. Without Rose, Cheryl's life is like a vegetable that is not put in the refrigerator, withered.
"Rose, I'm sorry." Cheryl's monologue. The girl reluctantly got up, removed the covers and sat on the bed. The room feels dark. The sun has said goodbye to rest for a moment while waiting for the time to shine again tomorrow.
"I am presumptuous, but why must Juna? Yes, he is handsome. But, a handsome man is not him alone. Why do we have to keep the same feelings in one person?" Cheryl hugged her feet.
Cheryl got up and turned on the light. The girl felt a lot of mosquitoes around her, begging for a drop of blood. Cheryl turned on an electric mosquito repellent.
Chery immediately took the old blue diary she called Meredith. Yes, Meredith's name is too fancy for a worn-out diary that is always filled with tears all the time. Because Cheryl rarely gets happiness, and she has a lot of complaints that she sheds there.
Even though her heart was sad, Cheryl smiled at Meredith's scent.
Hi, Meredith
We have big news. Sorry, it's been a long time I didn't confide in here. I am grateful for the power of God, and mum has opened her heart. It's such happiness. I'm so happy, of course.
Mum cares for me, Mum is not cold to me, Mum talks to me. Mum's little treatment is my big dream. Hopefully, mum continues like this.
But we have sad news. It hurts a little bit, alright it hurts a lot. Juna, do you know Juna? A prince on horseback with a full name on Meredith's body, but Rose also loves Juna :'( Meredith, I'm so sad, I did not think that Rose has been so great at hiding her feelings. Every day we meet a prince on a pony horse. What does Meredith think? Because she often met, so Rose likes Juna? But why, I feel Rose has liked Juna from the start? :'(
Help me, Meredith :'( Even Rose slapped me. I'm sure Rose would choose her feelings over this friendship. Yes, I was wrong. But God quickly showed me the diary. Otherwise, I would not have known Rose's feelings, and she would forever hide her feelings.
So, who exactly did wrong? What am I? Rose? Do we both have to agree so that neither prince has a horse riding a pony together? Is that the best solution? Or am I the one who gave in? Honestly, if I was faced with choosing Rose and Juna, I will select Rose out loud. I love her, Rose is my second mother Meredith, I'm unfortunate. I don't want to, Rose continues to be angry with me, Meredith :'(.
Cheryl could not contain her sadness. Her tears fell to the paper that had just been written, and even the pen ink was smudged. Cheryl sobbed and threw the old diary. Realizing her stupidity, Cheryl got up and picked up the diary. Cheryl kissed the diary affectionately and stroked it.
"Sorry, Meredith." Cheryl wiped her tears. Always like that, she would pour out all her heart. After she couldn't keep writing, Cheryl would take it all by throwing the diary in every direction she could and throwing all her might. After that, Cheryl would pick her back and kiss her fondly.
"Cheryl." Cheryl heard Delisha's voice. She wiped her tears.
"Yes, mum." Cheryl crawled from the room.
"Eat."
"Ok, snap."
"Sorry, Meredith." Cheryl returned to kissing the most precious treasure she had. Treasure that never made her sad, a treasure that never disappointed her.
Cheryl finally got up and washed her face, and she didn't want to appear sad. Her mother wasn't the time to know all this trouble yet.
Cheryl finally came downstairs with a face made up as if she wasn't sad. Yes, this girl is good at acting.
"Mum brought fried chicken."
Cheryl saw a bucket of fried chicken, the one with the smiling faces of grandparents.
"Wow, this is delicious." Cheryl picked up the fries and sat down.
"Wash your hands first." Delisha scolds. Cheryl giggled and got up to the sink washing her hands. Even though she had already cleaned her hands, but for the sake of making her mother happy, she would do anything.
Cheryl and Delisha eating. A warmth framed there. Suppose Cheryl will grow up to be a smart girl who can be proud of everywhere from the past like this.
"What were you doing in the room earlier?" Delisha asked to open the chat. Cheryl couldn't make her smile.
"Just study. Make an assignment." Delisha nodded.
"If there is anything, tell me." Cheryl's expression turned sad. She knows that her mother is reliable now. It's just that her heart is still a mess. She waited until her heart was reorganized.
"Yes, mum," Cheryl replied weakly.
"Alright, eat a lot. Satiated feel peaceful."
"Yes, mom is like Rose."
"Rose?" Delisha was surprised. Rose is a name that is uncomfortable among people because it is often used as a name for anonymous.
"Hehe, Floren. She likes to eat, mum." Delisha nodded. If they had always been close, the two of them would not only be a relationship between mother and child but as friends, the real friend. As a friend who will never betray.
Cheryl ate chicken bones voraciously. There was not even a trace. If she was a lion and other wild animals, he would swallow the bones whole.
"Eat slowly." Delisha scolds. Cheryl just grinned innocently.
"Mum, go to the room first." Cheryl nodded.
"Have a good night, mum." Shouted Cheryl, her mouth full of food.
"Hush, haven't slept yet." Cheryl and Delisha laughed together. Mouth full of food, Cheryl coughed, choking. The girl immediately drank and steamed it. Cheryl was still coughing, and she finally patted her chest.
After being full and tidying up everything, Cheryl went back into the room. Either because of a cold or a glut, Cheryl cleaned all corners of the room. The sheets she changed once a year, she switched to a cleaner and smelling one. Cheryl smoothed the tools that were scattered on the dresser.
Cheryl saw her cell phone flickering spoiled, asking to be stroked. She grabbed her cellphone, and suddenly her brain was suddenly frozen.
My Prince : Hi, prince on horseback pony is ready to pick you up.
The most beautiful incoming message ever stopped on Cheryl's phone.
"Ahhh." Shouted Cheryl hysterically.
