"If"

"If"
Part 25 - About Us



Such is.


Life always brings something amazing.


I never thought that if I could work in the towering building in Jakarta, and have an apartment, everything felt like yesterday when I just graduated from my campus. I took Arlin to the building where I work. I walked up and took Arlin as I climbed the stairs to the top floor.


Dirooftops. I could see a scene that turned out to be much more amazing. Arlin was amazed at that time, but somehow Arlin was not as happy as Livia when I was with me in the balcony of my first lecture. Arlin was not too interested in the sight. I, who was smiling at first, slowly removed the smile. I should have known that Arlin was Arlin.


And, Livia it's Livia.


"Why did you bring me here?" said Arlin


I tried so hard to smile in front of him, "I don't know. Nice view" I said


"I anterin you go home, yes, today I'm off" I said


"Really?" said Arlin


I turned to him, then looked at him so fixedly, "You're on purpose right? Don't bring your car, let me get you home. Later we will walk - yes road in Bandung" said I


"You know it" said Arlin


"Udah is clear" I said


After from the building where I worked, I immediately drove Arlin back to Bandung and during the trip, I did not think of anything. My eyes were only on the streets. Arriving at the border when going to enter the city of Bandung. I thought about Livia.


"The one you promised, right? We go for a walk" said Arlin


I stared at him for a while, then nodded my head slowly. That is my promise.


When we arrived in Bandung, it rained heavily. I thought more and more about Livia, even when I was in the red light, I felt that Arlin who was sitting next to me was Livia. Especially when Arlin saw the glass and then Arlin turned his back on me. I was hoping that when Arlin turned to me it was Livia. I stroked Arlin's hair with my left hand.


Arlin smiled sweetly.


"Lins. You are yes" I said


"It looks very much the same glass deck that, later bumped you know" said I


Arlin blushed in embarrassment.


My left hand was clasped tightly by her and Arlin looked at me so deeply, that I smiled a little at her, "You're worried about me" I said


"That attitude. Make me fly" said Arlin


"Truly" said Arlin


"You wait for me. Later I will bring back again by - by from the sky" said Arlin


"Think that the sky is a tourist spot there by - by it that way, there is a center by - by him so it is in the sky" said I


"You can fly. There it is" said Arlin


"Can't you take me flying?" say


"Look off. Flying alone is difficult, let alone take you" said Arlin


"We're funny" I said, laughing


"Yes" said Arlin


We got the cafe. The place where he said Arlin saw me first appeared, and still on the stage there are friends - my friends. Are we remembering too much, or is it somewhere that awakens our memories? I remember back when I was in college. My most memories are with Livia. I haven't seen him in 3 months.


Livia is definitely getting married.


Everyone seemed to be enjoying the music in the cafe, while I was just silent at my glass. What the hell happened to me? It all went well, I graduated and got a job, I have Arlin. What's wrong? I should be happy.


Sometimes I smile in front of Arlin, even though after that I look back.


Arlin kept looking at the stage.


"good song. My favorite" said Arlin, smiling happily


I just caught a glimpse of all my friends in the cafe. At that time I could not hear the music clearly in my ear.


"One more song we keep going home" said Arlin


"Yes" I said


I noticed a lot of people were looking at the stage. Only I am not.


When I took Arlin and wanted to walk out of the cafe, I accidentally saw Livia who was with Haikal. They look at each other. An unexpected coincidence.


I'll take Arlin home. After that I went back to Jakarta. I have to work tomorrow. During that trip back home I thought about Livia again, I think Haikal is really the right person who will live with her, there are no other men I can trust. Only Haikal can face all of Livia's traits.


Why am I thinking about them?


That's their life.


Bizarrely.
