‘Of course! I’ve never met anyone who has had a crush on someone for so long. Many people confess to their crushes after a few days of falling in love.”
Ruka bit her lip and struggled for a moment before declaring boldly to her friend, ‘Okay, then I’ll try to confess tonight!’ ‘You can do it, girl! A beautiful woman like you will undoubtedly succeed if you take the initiative to confess.”
Ruka could not help but take a deep needed breath. It was true that she had been looking forward to this night as well as she had planned to confess to Jethro when she returned from abroad. Hence, she decided to summon the courage to give it a shot tonight.
As soon as she finished work, she went straight looking for Rita. Since they only met up at 6.30PM, they were in a bit of a rush.
“How does my makeup look? Is it too light?” Ruka examined herself in the mirror of Rita’s car. Before she could confess, her face was already flushed.
“You look beautiful. I’m sure it will go well even if you don’t wear any makeup. Honestly, you should have confessed years ago!” Rita assured.
“Don’t you know? He hasn’t forgotten about his ex-girlfriend.” Ruka exhaled a sigh.
“I know. The dancer girl has been clutching at him. She’s afraid of being alone, so she clung to Jethro. Don’t worry, though. He’s already said he moved on from her. All he needs is a girl who truly loves him, which is you!”
Ruka took a deep breath before stating, “Okay, then! I hope that he’ll reciprocate my feelings.” “It’s nearly time. Let’s go!” Rita then drove to a nearby restaurant.
Meanwhile, an engaged couple had arrived before them. Though the couple was doing long-distance, they maintained a good and loving relationship despite the odds. They were all gathered here tonight to chat and reminisce about the old times over dinner.
“Hello, there, Rita and Ruka! It’s been a while.”
“Long time no see, Benedict and Bethanie! I’ve even prepared your wedding gift! All I need now is your wedding invitation!” Rita said while grinning.
“Soon! Our wedding will take place next year.”
Ruka also bestowed a blessing on them. At that moment, someone entered from the outside as the waiter opened the door for them. Emerging from the entrance was Jethro, who came hand-in-hand with an elegant girl. She was wearing heavy makeup and had a maturity about her that belied her age.
With a drink in her hand, Ruka froze mid-air, nearly choking on herself.
Is Jethro holding hands with his ex girlfriend? Did they rekindle their romance?
“I hope you don’t mind my plus-one! I got back together with Momo and I specially invited you guys out for dinner today to introduce her to all of you,” Jethro said with a smile while gently embracing the girl beside him.
“Hello, everyone!” Momo smiled as she scanned Ruka.
Clearly, she had a better understanding of the people in the room. For instance, she was aware of the people who had a close relationship with Jethro.
Rita comforted Ruka by patting her hand under the table. She was also surprised to see Jethro go against his words and rekindle his relationship with his ex girlfriend.
Now, Ruka’s confession was meaningless. Furthermore, when he looked at Momo. his eyes were gentle and drawn. indicating that he had never forgotten his sultry ex-girlfriend.
For a moment, the atmosphere went stiff as another guy, Justin, tried to reignite: the party by diverting the subject. “Why are you late? We’ve been waiting for you this long, so raise a glass.”
