7 Days With Althara

Go back and never go again

I let Althara take me where she wants. And it turns out he took me to his house. I got out of his car as soon as we got to the parking lot of his house. I followed Althara down from the car and followed her into the house.

“I go to the toilet first” said Althara in the living room.

I nodded my head and sat on his couch. I lay down there and held my eyes that were beginning to swell from crying. My phone is shaking in my bag. From the time I was at the Club my cell phone kept ringing incessantly, but I couldn't pick up the phone at such a time.

Mamma.

I was just about to pick up my phone, my phone's dead with the battery.

I'm pissed off. Mama must have been worried about me at the time. I stood looking for Althara to the toilet in the kitchen. But he wasn't in the toilet. I settled the precipitate up the stairs looking for Althara upstairs. So quiet at home, there was no sound of a single person still awake.

Are Althara's parents here ?

I got to the top floor and I saw a big door that hung a star frame and inside it was a capital letter A. Guess it was Althara's room. I see the door is a little open. I sassyly peeked at his room which turned out to be dark.

“Althara” call me slowly.

My eyes were still puffy and my body was still limp, but I also needed to inform Mama before she was really worried and instead looked for me by calling the police for help. Lebay indeed, but Mama does have more concerns for me, because I am the only child of her puppets, so I have to pay attention to it immediately.

I went into his room, intended to just borrow his charger there and then come back out. It's too dark in there. And I'm trying to find the light switch by touching the wall. After I met, I turned on the light switch. And Althara's room was finally bright with its walls white and still scattered a lot of canvas and paint on the floor. As soon as I turned around I was surprised by a large painting that Althara had placed on his bed.

It was my painting that was smiling happily. He painted my face on a very large canvas, and it was so pretty it looked real, it was 3D, it was more like a big picture'

I was moved to see him stick the big painting in his room. It turns out that what he said all along was true, Althara never forgot me.

I was about to get back out of her room before Althara caught me here but something made me realize. I looked back at the painting, I was surprised when I realized something. I looked carefully at the clothes that were worn in the painting, in the painting, the collar of my shirt that I recognized, as it was, and the alma mater logo on that chest I remember it was the shirt I was wearing when I was in college.

Means the painting was in the picture when I was in college in Bandung. He left me long before that.

I remember Althara always kept all her shots on her laptop. I saw his laptop on his desk and turned on the laptop and immediately saw his photo gallery.

And again I was surprised, seeing some of my photos a few years ago is in his gallery that has been stored in a folder that he named 'Amo stella'. There are some photos when I just entered the University, there are also photos when I was playing in the mall with my friends, there is even a photo of me who was sitting in the park with a book, and there is also a picture of me,all the photos he took from afar and secretly. The photo was taken a few years ago before I went to Jakarta. My tears are back.

The sound of Althara's door was heard wide open.

“Alhena” Althara surprised to see me who has opened his laptop gallery. It seemed like Althara realized that I was already in her room, because her face was already so panicked when she entered the room.

I looked at Althara with round eyes in disbelief.

“Today you were around me?” Say it with sadness.

“Alhena hear”

“During this it turns out you are around me al!” I shouted in annoyance.

“I always said that I would always be around you Alhena”

“You're around me and you never nyamperin me ?!” I started crying.

He tried to calm me down.

“Don't touch me” I threw his hand off my shoulder.

I'm really emotional now. He could have done something like that to me.

“You've seen all this time I'm sad, right al? All this time you witnessed my own suffering when you disappeared, you saw it all but you were silent and just wandering around me!”

“Al hear !”

“Tega You Althara, you're really evil” I didn't give him a chance to talk.

I tried to leave the room, but Althara pulled my hand and hugged me from behind.

“Alhena”

“Please me Al”

“Let me clear first everything”

“I don't want to! I'm pretty sure you know you're that bad!”

“Alhena please horrify me first!” Shouted still holding me from behind.

“I've asked you to hear all my explanations Al, but you never gave me that chance”

I still cried helplessly in Althara's arms.

“Since I always asked you, what if I go, do you remember that? And you never want that to happen. I put off my studies in Germany because I wanted to see you graduate Al. I want to accompany you that long. I know I was wrong to never be honest with you about my registration in Germany. I'm afraid you don't accept all that, I'm afraid you're sad and leave me, I'm afraid to imagine it happened”

I kept quiet to let him explain everything.

“I guess after my departure to Germany we can forget each other easily, I guess at the expense of my feelings, I will be able to be happy with my new life but it turns out I was wrong. During my time in Germany I missed you, I kept thinking about you who always made me happy. I even always expect you to be there accompany me, remove all the bumps I've been through”

Althara still hugged me tightly behind me. I was still crying in her arms hearing all her explanations.

“Every 6 months I go back to Indonesia, and the first time I go back to Indonesia the person I first looked for is you. I wanted to see how you were, and I expected you to be happy and forget about me. But it turns out that my guess was wrong, I saw you being a dimwit, seeing that you were so changed unlike the Alhena I knew. I was so sad when I heard you were still thinking about me. And since then, every time I go back to Indonesia the first person I'm going to look for is you. Because I always wanted to make sure you'd forgotten me and been happy, but I never saw that happen. Until finally you disappeared in Bandung and I never know where you are for 3 years this”

I turned my back to look directly into Althara's eyes. She held my cheek gently with eyes so sad to remember all those events.

“You know I am frustrated because of your departure” I said sadly.

“I'm sorry” her wean she really looks so sorry about it.

“I don't know if the feelings we have can be this strong Alhena”

“You think I can easily forget you so?” I keep blaming him.

“I'm sorry” he keeps apologizing.

“I also started to get frustrated when I knew you were leaving Bandung, and I could never find out where you were all this time”

“And I even found you in this situation. When you are the same Rey” said Althara while wiping my tears.

“I think I'm really late, I think you and Rey are in love, I almost forced myself to forget you”

I shook my head still in sadness.

“I can never forget you Althara” sad me.

“I'm too fond of you”

“Iya I know Al, the feeling you have is still the same as it used to”

“I've tried to make your lupain Al, but it never works, I was confused all this time, what should I do so I can open my heart to others”

He held both of my cheeks.

“I'm back, and I'm not going to abbey you open your heart to others again”

“You must promise” said I want to pledge because I still feel afraid.

“I promise never to go again without saying”

I shook my head.

“You should never leave again even if you say Al” I remember how painful it would be if he left me again even though he said goodbye.

He smiled at me.

“Iya”

“You must say promise Al”

He smiled back hearing that.

“Iya I promise, I promise I will never again leave you no matter what happens”

Then he kissed my lips.

I cried in this kiss, I missed her so much, missed this loving kiss, and now I finally got her back.

I love you Althara
