Chapter 19 Unexpected Heartbreak (1/2)

”What?” Rena took a step back, utterly shocked. ”What did you just say?”

Leena sighed, trying to keep calm. ”When I went to the bathroom, I ran into Miguel and Alina. They were in a heated discussion, talking about how they were lovers in college, but that Miguel's parents opposed their relationship. This whole time, Miguel loves her, and he is practically begging her to get back together. That's it.” Leena was definitely hurt deeply, but she refused to show it. She might be nothing compared to Alina, but she didn't want to let this whole situation ruin her happiness.

Rena gaped at her, at a loss for words. After a while, she asked, ”How are you so calm?”

”Well, what do you propose I do?” Leena smiled bitterly.

Rena's eyes flashed crazily. ”Damn it!” she cursed venomously. ”You should get even with them! I won't let that bitch get away with this so easily!” She clenched her fists tightly and started to walk back to the cafe, stomping on the pavement.

”What are you doing?” Leena called after her. She had a bad feeling about this.

”I'm going to kill them! You don't deserve this!” Rena shouted, unable to contain her anger. Her eyes blazed murderously.

Leena ran after her friend and flung her arms around her, hoping she'd come back to her senses. It seemed she was all-consumed by her rage. ”Rena, listen to me,” Leena said seriously. ”They've left already.”

Rena froze, all the anger leaving her body. Instead, she was left a lifeless corpse. ”Why did you let them go so easily?” she asked weakly. ”Damn it! First, my boyfriend left me for some bitch. But now, my best friend's boyfriend left her for the very same bitch! I just can't take it!” she whined.

Leena seemed to have run out of patience at this point. She lowered her head and said coldly, ”Rena, please just stop. I'm in a bad mood. I don't want to hear any of this.”

Rena looked at her helplessly. As much as she wanted to fight for her friend, even she had to realize it was futile. She'd only get them into trouble. Not knowing what else to do, she shouted, ”I'm just so angry! You always defend others, be it me or your family, but when it comes to defending yourself, you won't even lift a finger!”

”Stop it!” Leena had had enough. She didn't want to talk about it any longer. It would just make her heart ache even more. She loved Miguel. What happened between him and Alina was all in the past. She had nothing to do with it, so why should she suffer? She decided she wouldn't think about it anymore.

”How can you be like this?” Rena demanded. ”They hurt you, yet you act as though nothing happened. This will make them think you're easy to bully!” Rena was a straightforward person. She wouldn't hold back if she thought what she was doing was right. In her mind, if she was not going to stand up for her best friend, who would?

”Rena, please! Just stop! I just want to be alone!” Leena screamed.

This time, Rena didn't say anything, her face was flush with rage. It seemed she was unsatisfied with her friend's reaction. Leena had taken the initiative to set a meet up with Alina when Jimmy had broken up with Rena. How come she wasn't assertive when it came to matters about herself?

Just then, another car stopped in front of the cafe. The door opened and a tall man emerged. As soon as he got off the car, he rushed towards the cafe.
