Chapter 3

"Rona what are you doing?" Raymond was surprised seeing his friend is about to kiss him. Rona fell on the car's floor, Raymond opened his eyes when she was about to kiss him.

"Are you alright? What time is it? How was your date?" Raymond asked her consecutively.

"I'm good." Rona replied in a very shy way, she couldn't look at him, she is thinking if Raymond noticed what she was about to do a while ago, she was really embarrassed.

"Thank you," are the only words she can tell to Raymond when they arrived at her house, she got into her house without even looking back at Raymond. This is the most embarrassing moment for her.

She can't help but cry to herself when she entered her room. She heard Raymond's car honked before he left, Raymond is wondering why his friend didn't even said goodbye to him, she also didn't peeked through her window to wave him goodbye. Rona has an idea, she called Topher.

"Hi Topher!"

"Hello Rona why did you call, do you accept my invitation to come with me for a vacation?"

"Yes I decided to go with you at the resort." Rona told him sadly before she ended the call.

Topher offered her to go with him to a resort for vacation. Her initial plan is to ask Raymond for advice if she will accept the invitation or not, but even though Raymond would tell her to go, she won't agree because she doesn't want to leave Raymond, but after what happened at the car, she decided to distance herself from Raymond to save herself from humiliation.

"I'm glad you and Topher are going on a vacation together, if he asked you to marry him, just say yes, he is a good catch you know." Rona's mother told her when she asked for her permission, she had already packed her things.

"Mom it's just a vacation no proposals, okay?"

"Rona your already twenty three years old, you are in the right age to have a boyfriend, unless you're waiting for that friend of yours who has a cheap car to court you?"

"Mom I know what I'm doing, just let me choose the right guy for myself." Rona told her mom as she felt irritated because her mom involved Raymond in their conversation.

"Sis your suitor is here, good luck!" Her older sister told her.

"Goodbye mom, goodbye sis!" she told them before she went out of the door.

Topher helped her carry her bag to the car's trunk. Rona felt really sad when Topher started the car, his car is more beautiful and convenient than Raymond's, but she felt more comfortable in Raymond's old model car. She felt weak just by thinking that Raymond is without her side.

Raymond felt restless, it's already eleven am and there is still no call or text from Rona. It's Sunday, the rest day of both of them, they used to stroll together, so he tried to call her phone but she didn't answer. He thinks it's because of the incident last night that's why Rona is avoiding him. He pretend last night that he did not notice Rona's intention to kiss him, but still Rona felt guilty about it.

The next day he went to the café to look for Rona but according to her strict supervisor, she didn't come to work, so he had no choice but to go to Rona's house, only to find out that she was at the resort with Topher.
