Girlfriend By Accident

“You're wrong, Vin. "It's not as simple as you think," said Soraya after taking a sip of her wine, then looked back at Devina who was rubbing the rim of the coffee cup with her index finger. “You know that I can’t falling in love again. I won’t!”

“Why?” Devina asked casually with a friendly smile that brightened her face. Soraya snorted lazily at the question, then rolled her eyes.

“Hmm, don't tell me that it's all because of Felix.” Devina guessed it was right on target, but Soraya tried not to react. However, as a friend who has known Soraya for a long time, Devina could read the change in Soraya's facial expression, even if only slightly.

“Gosh! He's been missing since… let me count, hmm… seven years ago. Have you lost your mind? "Seven years is a long time to stay fixated on a bastard, Soraya," Devina scolded, lashing out and mocking her stupidity. Unfortunately, Devina didn't know how hard a jolt hit Soraya's chest when that name was said loudly and casually— the name of the man he tried to bury deep in his subconscious.

“Should you say his name?” Soraya complained thinly.

“Hello! Where is the strong and tough figure of Soraya that I have known all this time? Please … Don't, because hearing her name, you turn back into stupid and weak Soraya. Come on, Soraya! He has gone. Gone!

“What do you expect? Waiting for him to come back so he can hurt you again? Is that what you call love? No! That's not love, but obsession and stupidity. "Just so you know, obsession is not good for your health," Devina rebuked firmly with a look of anger and disbelief.

Soraya was speechless. Every time I hear Felix's name, his image immediately appears and fills Soraya's head . Strangely enough, she immediately turned into the naive, stupid and weak Soraya for a few moments. He was easily swept away by the swift and painful current of the past.

Stupid? Yes I know. That's why I really hate love. Love makes me stupid and weak, Soraya thought angrily and annoyed with herself.

“Damn it, Soraya! "Don't tell me you still love him," Devina guessed when she caught Soraya's sad expression.

“No!" said Soraya doubtfully, "the word 'love' has long disappeared from my dictionary."

“"Well, honestly, I can still see that sprinkle in your eyes every time I say his name," said Devina full of mockery, as if she was able to read Soraya's heart.

“I think you're wrong.” Soraya still avoided it, then looked away from Devina. He was reluctant to continue the conversation about his past.

“"Felix, Felix, Felix, Felix," said Devina repeatedly.

Reflexively, Soraya covered her ears. He didn't want to hear that name again. That name was like a spell that was able to paralyze all of Soraya's strength and stubbornness. and he didn't like that.

“See! You can't even hear his name. You still love him, Soraya, and that is absolutely ridiculous!” Devina scoffed curtly.

Soraya wasn't angry. He is actually grateful to have a friend like Devina who is always honest with him.

Devina does not hesitate to express her opinion, no matter whether the person will be offended or not. At least, Devina's honesty was like a whip that made Soraya realize that everything was over.
