A Cup of Black Coffee
Chapter 66
Ragil squeezed out Farah's hand that was still linked to him.
He felt that there was something between Farah and this man before him.
"Flood?" call the man again.
Farah tried to calm down in the middle of her heart that was pounding so fast. The man who had hurt her too deeply was like waiting for her answer.
Farah caught her breath and glanced at the little smiling lover.
Yes, the man in front of her is Alan, her former fiance who chose to leave ahead of their wedding day.
"I'm sorry" said Alan, whose call received no response from his former fiancee.
Farah took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He needs a lot of oxygen to calm down.
"Would we talk for a moment?" haggard Ragil on both.
He was sure that there was something they needed to finish right now.
Farah stared in disbelief at the lover's request. He saw Ragil was so calm, like he did not mind what would happen if he talked to Alan.
Indeed what will happen? Inner Farah ambiguous. He thought various possibilities were bad at the moment.
Shouting, cursing, beating even a little desire to kill Alan, if only he could not control his emotions at this time.
"Calm down, isn't this your wish? Finish with him, finish your business. Whatever your decision I will accept" whispered Ragil softly.
Unfortunately, the lover's speech was like a dagger that pierced his heart.
Farah did not understand what Ragil said. He did indeed want to meet Alan and ask about his anxiety all along.
But that doesn't mean he'll go back to that guy, doesn't Ragil know about it? Then why was Ragil now talking as if they were going to split up?
Farah refused firmly. He won't be entangled by Alan's words. He just needs an explanation to calm down.
While with Ragil is an absolute decision that he will live in his future life.
The three sat facing. It seems that Alan felt awkward and nervous when he looked at the bead of his former fiancee's eyes that he had hurt in such a way.
Alan knew exactly how Farah felt. But when he saw his ex-lover look calm faced with him there was a little disappointment.
Even more so when he finds out that Farah seems to have found a replacement for him.
Alan smiled blandly laughing at his own thoughts.
What was she hoping for when she met Farah? Expecting the girl to forgive him and take him back? That's impossible, the con.
"How are you Rah?" alan asked who finally opened his voice.
"sorry. Introduce me Alan," said Alan, handing Ragil.
Even her tongue was muddled when she wanted to reveal who she was to the man she was sure was Farah's lover.
"Ragil, Farah's future husband," replied Ragil calmly.
He must explain his relationship with Farah so that the man in front of him no longer intends to approach his future wife.
Alan's eyes rounded instantly, then after that he tried to control himself.
"Ah yes, congratulations then," he replied stiffly.
"I'll stay for a while" Ragil told Farah and rubbed the girl's head.
Farah looked confusedly at her lover. On the other hand he needs Ragil to calm himself in the face of Alan.
But on the other hand, he does need his own space to solve his problems with Alan.
Farah knows that Ragil is trying to give her time to talk to her ex-fiance.
"I'm sure you must want to explain something to me, right, Lan? Speak, I don't want to linger, because I have more important business with my future husband" Farah replied with emphasis at the end of the sentence.
Alan smiled blandly, he knew that Farah seemed to be insinuating him.
"First of all I want to apologize to you and Aunt Tania. I am indeed a brengseek man and a coward who left so without explanation," he said paused because Alan had to take his breath that felt very tight.
He knows very well what he did wrong. But when he was going to tell the truth he knew that Farah would later feel that it was just his defense.
Alan was determined to be honest with Farah, so he returned to the city.
He did not expect that his intention of looking for Farah would be this easy.
It seems that God wants to solve their problems immediately.
Farah did not reply, she just needed to shut up and listen after it left, that was how she thought.
"I'm sorry Rah," again just an apology Alan can say.
"From now on you just say sorry without explaining. I need an explanation not your apology!" ketus Farah's.
"Sorry," Alan knew Farah was waiting for an explanation from him.
Farah who was fed up because Alan was too long-winded decided to get up and was about to go look for Ragil's whereabouts.
He felt free to talk to Alan who seemed reluctant to explain their problems.
"Where are you going Rah?" prevent Alan from panicking when he sees Farah leaving him.
He still wants to talk to Farah. Even he did not know shamefully had hoped that their chat would be warm again like before even though it was very impossible.
"I'm waiting and I'm tired of hearing your apologies. Maybe we no longer need to meet, because I feel you are still a loser" Farah said.
"alright. Sit down, I'm sorry. I promise I'll explain" Alan asked.
"Hurry up, you're just wasting my time" Farah lamented as she looked at the clock on her wrist.
"It's all my fault. I am also ashamed to admit it at this time. All you need to know is that I did it because I had to," he said.
The reasons are very cliche according to Farah. The man should have talked to her. There is nothing that cannot be solved if they are honest and open with each other.
It should have been like that, but now it feels too late to answer like that.
"Rah's mom is sick and I need enough money to treat her" Alan explained.
Farah looked at the sliver on the face of this man before her. He who had known Alan for a long time knew that the man was not lying.
In Farah's mind grumbling angrily, why didn't Alan tell her first? Why only now that it's over? He doesn't want to be pityed. Farah felt she had to be firm with her feelings.
There was no more Alan's name in his heart, only Ragil at this moment. He won't be lulled just because of Alan's explanation.
"Because mom was sick I finally made the wrong decision Rah. And you know my punishment for hurting you? Even mom has left and everything feels free."
Farah knows very well how unfortunately Alan is with his mother. Which is still a big question mark, what is the relationship between the pain of his mother Alan with the departure of the man and his family first.
Do they need to go far?
"What you need to know, if all there is also Sarah's interference in it," explained Alan who successfully made Farah turn her back in disbelief.
How could Sarah? Even his cousin only found out about their relationship when he was not married.
