END UP TO YOU

Chapter 5

"Yeah, it turned out the other way around because I'm now the one chasing after a woman who doesn't pay attention to me," Rogel said, shaking his head.

"So, why are you chasing her? If you can find many women as you can?" Floriza asked, looking at Rogel while he turn his gaze away from her.

"Do I have to answer that question of yours?" Rogel asked, half-smiled.

"It depends; if you're not comfortable, I won't mind," Floriza said, looking in the other direction.

"This is the reason, the beating, and feelings when Tabitha is around seeing her beautiful smile. It can send away the trouble I felt when I was in the office workload." Rogel replied, holding his chest.

"You don't have to chase because you're not a dog; it's difficult to chase someone who's running away, so if you're hopeless, you should stop and rest for a while. Being in a rush relationship is not good it will give you problems at the end since one-sided love is hard to deal with," Floriza said.

"Yeah, I'll know that. Maybe I'm just too blinded by my emotions to stop chasing," Rogel replied.

"There's nothing wrong with your feelings for Miss Talitha. She's too kind, which is why I spent so much time with her as her secretary, but it's not right to chase after her even though it's obvious that she doesn't like you. I just wanted to say that you can find someone else. There are many women out there who deserve your love and time."

"Your right. Because I'm no longer young enough to not understand what she wants to happen. Sometimes we love someone who can't love us back. And I'm still grateful because you came with me today even though it's too late," Rogel replied.

"Because I don't have anything to do at home. I also like this place and spend time any longer," Floriza added.

"Aren't your parents going to look for you? I'm sure they're worried because it took you so long to get home," Rogel responded.

"I don't have parents anymore; they're dead," Floriza said bitterly.

It's bad to ask someone to die, especially her family, but the sadness and unwantedness made her feel like they died because they didn't pay attention to him. And he prefers to lie so that their conversation won't go on for too long and the things that he has forgotten for a long time will be brought up.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked more." Rogel said.

"It's okay. I'll accept it," answered Floriza, shaking her head.

Rogel stood up, held her hand, and led her to the food stall. He only let her go when he chose the street foods that were laid out in front of them.

"Choose what you want to eat. My treat. I got hungry after a few hours of talking. After all, we're done eating at the restaurant, I just found out that my intestine has the strength to digest even more." Rogel said laughing.

And she took five hotdog sticks and gave them to the owner to grill them with other kinds of street foods. She was amazed because Rogel was eating this kind of food only for someone like her who is not rich but no one chooses to eat this kind of food just lying around that might bad air passes through because it is not fully covered. Floriza also took what she want to be cooked at a time. She sat down after Rogel gave her a seat and she could only look around while waiting. She was thinking about Miss Talitha, she didn't even text her to find out what happened but she didn't want to hope since maybe she might be with the man she wanted now. Floriza looked secretly at Rogel trying to find his bad side but she couldn't see anything so she couldn't understand why there is still a woman who doesn't like this kind of man.
