edit, I approached and Novia opened the car door and got out. "Novia, why are you here?" I asked with confusion. But it wasn't until I got closer that I could see clearly how Novia looked. She appeared disheveled and distraught, as if she had been crying for a long time. Her tears hadn't dried yet, and her eyes were swollen and red.
"Nat, I've been heartbroken!" Novia came over and hugged my neck tightly, crying loudly.
I was taken aback. What had happened between Novia and Mr. Eugen? My mind was filled with questions, but seeing Novia's tear-stained face, I decided to bring her inside first.
"How long have you been crying? Your eyes are so swollen," I said as I guided Novia to sit on the couch. I brought her a towel to soothe her eyes, but it didn't seem to work well, so I decided to boil an egg for her.
"I'm so sad, Nat," Novia sobbed, her eyes filled with sorrow.
