Why Doesn't She Call?

The two-hour journey felt like forever. Rune couldn't wait to leave Bacilia. His heart was in a mess and he felt like crying.

All his life, he had never felt so miserable. He was raised in a loving and happy family.  His life was perfect. He only knew and received things that were the best of the bests.

His parents loved him, his siblings doted on him. He could do whatever he wanted in life. Everything he wanted, he would get it.

Except for today.

As he leaned his back on the seat and closed his eyes, Rune thought about Rose and what she would decide after she talked with Leon. 

Now, he understood why his uncle, Aldebar, chose to stay single. He was happy with his life and so was Rune, until he met Rose. He realized that falling in love, when it was one-sided, was the worst feeling ever.
