A Cold Frozen Hearts

Eps. The 7 Memories

“She's my girlfriend, ” Raysa said as she got out of the car and brought some groceries.

The deg!

“Are you crazy?” nayla whispers to Raysa.

“Better they know if we're both dating,” Raysa said.

Nayla leaves Raysa in frustration.

That day, it looked so annoying to Nayla.

“Sucks,” says Nayla while kicking what's in front of her. “It should not be said in public like that,” Nayla said again.

“Finally you have a girlfriend huh?” a voice shocked Nayla. Aufal moved his foot closer to Nayla.

“Finally?” nayla asked while looking with annoyed eyes. “I'm very upset about it,” said Nayla again.

“I don't know if you have a relationship with that man,” said Aufal. “It turns out you've moved on yes. Turns out I didn't have a chance to fix everything,” Aufal said in a hopeful tone.

“Huh!” Nayla blew her breath.

“There really is no chance for me, I really hope to..”.

“You are married, and..”

“I'm divorced..”

“Eee... When?”

“Two years ago,”

“Not it..”.

“The story is long,”

“Sorry, I don't know!”

“Sure you don't know, you're not the kind of person who finds out other people's lives, including my own.”.

“Pacify yourself,” says Nayla.

“Because of that, give me another chance. I want to fix everything from scratch and..”.

“Currently she's my lover..” said a voice that turns out it's Raysa. “Let's go from here,” Rasya said as he pulled Nayla's hand away from Aufal's sight.

Nayla follows Raysa's footsteps. When they had moved away from Aufal.

“Can release my hand, I want to be alone,” Nayla said in an annoyed tone.

“You're mad at me?”

Nayla was silent.

“How can I know, if you don't tell me,”

“Iya! I'm mad at you, you just want to tell them all. You should have asked for my approval,” said Nayla leaving Raysa.

The atmosphere of the night was so quiet, only a few days here made it comfortable with fresh air. No roar of vehicles, no smoke.

The clock shows at 10:20pm, some of his team has slept. Laptop, a cup of coffee, an earphone attached to his ear and a guitar strummed.

For a week he had not spoken to Raysa, preferring to write and assist with the needs of the army.

“You're still mad at me?” raysa asked while sitting near Nayla.

“No,” says Nayla.

“What are you thinking?”

“What if I don't wake up. Whether anyone loses, or is grateful for it,” said Nayla instantly made Raysa who heard her feel something hurt her heart.

“Why talk like that?” ask Raysa.

“Not a serious thing, it's just that everyone will be headed for death. Sometimes I..”

“You've started writing the script?”

raysa asked trying to shift the subject.

“Iya. I plan to have the script completed as soon as possible. So you don't get distracted anymore,” said Nayla.

“About your illness, you'd better try hanging out with..”.

“I'm still..”

“Hhmm... About your illness, I should discuss it with my professor, because as far as I observe your illness.

“Find guitar,” says Raysa. “I know, you will do your best,” Raysa said again. “You like again what?” ask Rasya.

“I don't like songs,” says Nayla.

“Really? I always see you wearing Earphones,”

“Instrument,”

That night Raysa listened to the instrument along with Nayla. Unknowingly, Nayla had fallen asleep beside him.

“Cutte,” Raysa said with a smile. “He's like a little cat,” Rasya said again.

Raysa looked at the girl's face. The sky is filled with stars in the night sky.

Raysa saw a book note, in it was seen a picture of someone. He could guess if it was him. Then on the back page of the book is seen a picture where there is a wedding, which is seen by a woman.

“*And let me save this love myself. May your marriage be happy,”

-Tamat*-

There is a sense that is difficult to explain in the heart of Raysa see the picture ending Nayla novel.

“Hhhmm... not the beautiful Ending,” Raysa said while tidying up Nayla's stuff.

“What are you doing here with him?” tanya Kurniawan looked at Rasya.

“Ah, just so you came. Please bring her things, I will take her to her tent,” Raysa said as she carried Nayla.

“I can't make you hurt them,” Kurniawan said.

“I know, after all I was with him just pretending to be dating, I didn't intend to date him really. After all he is a child of psychology, he can do therapy with my illness,” said Raysa. “I just love the girl, I can't make her afraid of my illness,” Raysa said.

There is nothing Kurniawan does not know about his friend.

“Alright,” said Kurnia while following Raysa from behind. “I can't let this girl get too close to Raysa,” Kurnia said.

***

Not too much is done in Kam makes some volunteer teams can enjoy the beauty of nature.

Nayla sits under a tree strumming her guitar enjoying the beach breeze, not forgetting her laptop, books and glasses always accompany her.

Nayla drew in her book.

His eyes looked in one direction, a man in an army suit carrying some equipment.

“Hey,” call Nayla while approaching the man.

That man is Raysa's best friend Kurniawan.

“Can I come with you?” ask Nayla.

But the man did not answer and continued his steps, without caring for Nayla.

“I know you don't like me since Raysa said if I was with her dating,” Nayla said. “Can you tell me why you hate me? You didn't behave like this when we first met,” Nayla said again.

“Why did you ask her out? Aren't you ashamed to ask a guy out?” ask Kurniawan.

Nayla was surprised, it felt like the man's words were right at the bottom of her heart.

“Everyone says the same as you,” said Nayla made the man stop stepping his feet. “But it's true that you said, I'm shameless about courting a captain and someone else's future husband,” said Nayla. “Raysa told me if she was your foster sister, you loved her very much. I don't want to fall in love with her, just calm down. We each just took advantage,” said Nayla.

“Advantages? What did you get from asking her out?” ask Kurniawan.

“Emm. Since you're Raysa's best friend, I'll tell you,” said Nayla.

Nayla tells Kurniawan who she really is, making the look of the man's face change.

“You're really the author of the novel?” ask Kurniawan.

“Iya,” answered Nayla briefly.

“Uwa. I didn't think you were a writer, I'm a fan of your novel. Can I have your autograph?” ask Kurniawan.

“Bby,”

The atmosphere between Nayla and Kurniawan seemed to have changed.

***

“I don't know if you can play guitar,” Aufal said as he approached Nayla.

Nayla who saw Aufal, immediately cleaned up the goods.

“Can you not avoid me?”

Raysa and Kurniawan who were on picket duty that night accidentally saw Nayla and Aufal.

Nayla also gave up her intention to leave.

“I know you still hate me, forgiving me completely feels impossible. I know at the bottom of your heart you hate me, there is a grudge for me,” Aufal told Nayla. “Even during my marriage with her, I only love you. I am also tortured to marry him, while I love you,” said Aufal.

Raysa wanted to approach Nayla, but was arrested by Kurniawan.

“Whatever your current status, I have no feelings for you, all that remains in this heart is disappointment, hatred, and resentment. I hate you, but I don't regret meeting you. Knowing you, therefore I am truly grateful to have been with me for those five years,” Nayla said as she got up from her seat and left the man.

“Wait a minute..”

“Do you really love that captain?”

The deg!
