“Promise me one thing.” She said with hoping eyes, squeezing his hands tightly as if it was the last time she would holding that dear hands of him. He flashed to her the most genuine smile of him, assuring the girl that he would give her even the star if she wants it.

“Anything.” He replied shortly but it enough to make the girl smiling again.

“Just this one time, please stay with me.”

“You said that you will talk to them about the matter.” He voice out in anger after they reach the back garden of the house. It was the first time he uses that tone of voice to her but he really can’t control it right now. He is totally boiled up.

“But I didn’t say that they will agree to me. It’s their choice, not mine.” She answered calmly, already predicted his reaction after he heard the result. She was ready for it after all. 

“I love her, not you. We both know that.” He said again, trying to make the girl understand his true feeling. She just stood there, freeze from any movement. After it feels like forever, she then walks slowly toward him wearing the same expressionless face and lean closer to his ear to whisper something.

“I’m sorry, but I can let you go.”

“I love you.” She said desperately, grabbing his hands to prevent him from moving away from her side. The boy harshly pulls his hands away from her, attempt to take the first step away but he was once again being block by the girl.

“Don’t leave, please.” She pleaded again, not care anything about her pride as a girl anymore. What she knows now that, she can’t let him go right now because it would mean that the boy will leave forever. He will walk away from her life. The boy stops his track and looking straight into her eyes where now she can only see anger on it. Yes, anger. 

“The game is over, and you lose.”
