Aurora almost fainted. For a brief moment, she lost herself, overwhelmed by her emotions, upon seeing her best friend again.
'I'm sorry, Rena. I apologize if I made you feel sad. I'm truly sorry...' Aurora expressed her sorrow as she watched Renata hurry to the kitchen, leaving her alone in the seating area.
She felt heartache and a tsunami of emotions overwhelmed her like something inside her mind engulfed her eyes' tear duct, making her want to shed tons of tears. She tightly clenched her hands and tried hard to calm herself.
Aurora refused to cry, fearing it would confuse Renata.

"Ehm, Young Lady, please have a drink," Renata said, placing the glass on the table before sitting across from Aurora.
