A DIVIDED HEART

Episodes 111. Life is cruel, Nes

"Sorry to keep you waiting" a man wearing a brown suit just greeted me, he was holding a very beautiful woman, a woman in a knee-length black dress, short-sleeved comes with makeup that is not too thick and looks fitting if viewed, straight shoulder-length hair makes his face so tapered that it fits the order

"No, I just got there"

"Mr Andreas?" I then greeted the two and invited them to sit at the table I had ordered. We were in a famous mall in this city, indeed it was the place we decided last night. Not without reason this place we choose, because he really wants to accompany his wife shopping before they return to foreign countries

"Well, I'm Andresa, with Miss Agnes?" I nodded

"This is my wife, Sofia" sofia and I met each other

"Sorry before, have we met before?" ms. Sofia started the real question I really wanted to ask because I think her face is not so foreign and I feel that I have met her in the near future

"It seems so too, if it's not wrong are you the woman I asked the time at Prima's wedding?" continued

"Yes you're right" he then smiled sweetly. He then re-introduced himself and said if he did not have a girlfriend in Indonesia, he invited me to make friends and I would gladly accept it

After that we went back to what money you should have done today. Various opinions also sprung up among the three of us, various plans and also speculation did not escape to participate and soon we met an agreement, with this we have expressed cooperation and will start our new business

"From today the building is rightfully yours, hopefully the business you started is more successful and in the future we can work together again" Andreas and his wife nodded

"But it would be nice if today Miss Agnes could come with us to look back at the building" the idea offered by Bu Sofia was immediately agreed that today there is no other work and I still have a little free time before returning to the office

The three of us finally headed to the address where the building was located, I who brought my own car was now in front and followed by Mr. Andreas and his wife. We arrived at that place, the second floor building painted white with gold combination, and, the building with glass surrounding its front which was recently sold by its owner about three months ago still looks sturdy and well maintained

Formerly the building was a boutique that could be said to be quite famous but gradually the business declined and in the end met a low point of sale and then impact on bankruptcy, the owner of the building then sold it and switched to another business

I opened the door of the building and invited them in, inside the building was nothing left, the place was empty and also clean. Mr. Andreas and his wife looked at the wall and the corner of each room, after which they both took me up to the second floor there was also empty and clean. Once again they observe the walls and also occasionally see the view of the glass of the second floor, coincidentally this building is located across the highway so it is very strategic and easy to reach

"This building I bought is indeed for my business and husband but we entrust this place to our friend who happens to be coming soon" obviously Bu Sofia when he went down the stairs after being satisfied to observe the second floor of the building

" Friends?" bu Sofia nodded

"He was a good friend of my husband, they were friends since childhood"

"He's a boy or a girl?"

"Male, and maybe soon he will come" he explained again

Not long after, a motorbike was parked right in front of the building. I was still chatting with Sofia's mom and Andreas got closer to her, Mr. Andreas called his wife, but along with that my phone rang there was an incoming call that I had to answer

"Non Agnes, let me introduce you to the person who will take care of this place" Sofia invited to me who is still talking over the phone, I heard his call and then finished the call and rushed towards him

The originally light legs now feel heavy when they know who is next to Sofia and Mr. Andreas. William, that person turned out to be William, who was said to be a good friend of Mr. Andreas. Why is the world so narrow, whether this is a coincidence or is it a rebuke that I must realize my mistake and return to feeling regret

"Good day, introduce me to William" Willy extended his hand to me, I'm the one who stood by him. Nervous there must be but I don't want to show it in front of Sofia's very friendly mom at the moment, I am also ashamed of Mr. Andreas who certainly already knows how our story is as if he is a good friend of William and there is no way Willy does not tell that

"Oh yes, Non Agnes. I'm sorry we have to go first, there are things we have to finish somewhere else. Talk to William, he'll run this place!"

With a heavy heart I agree with their words and only I and William live in this place, awkwardness was inevitable especially the attitude of William who was indifferent as if never knew each other. This time he was on the left side and I was on the right side, there was no conversation for a few minutes, we were like people who were fighting and had not yet made a decision

"Sorry, can we go to the second floor. I wanted to see his condition" he walked ahead of me, I followed him

I then explained every detail of the second floor of this building, retelling the story of this building before, who and how, everything I had explained to him. Again his face was expressionless and still flat. Exasperated, I wanted to yell at him and ask him why he had changed but I thought it was worth it

"Is there anything you want to ask again?" I asked later but he did not realize he was even engrossed with his phone and was smiling while looking at the flat object

"Mr William" I called once again his name but remained silent

"Will!" I shouted quite loudly, he just kept quiet and put his phone in the pocket of the jacket he was wearing . He walked over and suddenly my heart was beating faster than before, his gaze was as if it wanted to prey on me and scare me

I walked backwards as his steps got closer so that I could no longer access the road and hit the wall, William was getting closer and now only a few feet away from my body

"What do you want?" I was trembling a little, but she was just smiling

"Life is cruel, Nes. You will get sick when you have hurt and you will be happy if you want to wait, but not everyone has a lot of time, there are times when they give up because what they are fighting for is never a decision"

"Learn to be patient even though sometimes patience is pain, and in that time you feel pain then you will know how the patient is waiting for you. Go home, I don't think there's any need to talk about anything anymore, this building will operate according to a predetermined schedule" he just left shortly after making my heart a marathon, a marathon, not to mention I understood what he was talking about and not yet the question I was thinking met the answer he had already left me

"Leave the key there, I still want to be in this place" without answering I immediately left William who was getting weird

...**************...

"Who's this a gift from, baby?" Prima raised a brown paper bag in which there is a box decorated with ribbons

"That's from Agnes, mas" said Sumi's mother who was still standing in front of her wardrobe, she just came out of the bathroom, her body was still wrapped in a towel and her hair was still wet

Prima opened it, a house key and a piece of paper containing the address of the house was located and two honeymoon tickets abroad that I and Dad deliberately gave to Mbak Sumi. It is not without reason that we do, if to return the favor is certainly not possible, if, it's just a sign of gratitude from us who have been very helped by the situation of Sister Sumi plus now she no longer has anyone but her husband

He used to tell me if someday he wanted to buy a house with a large yard so that the late Mr. Samin could grow cassava and other vegetables like when in the village, and he also aspires to have a white rose garden even though it is only small. And that is now happening, Father gave him a house that has almost the same characteristics as what he expected even though we all know in a big city like this very rarely found a house with a large land

"I'm sorry, Ma'am. Dad can't come alone to give this, this is no small gift for Ma'am. May you always be happy" Prima read the message I wrote there

"Honey come here" Sumi's mother approached her husband and Prima also offered what she met there, Sumi read it and immediately cried

He feels very happy now, the people around him turned out to love him so much plus now he lives with the first love that he fought in silence even though he had hesitated before and almost retreated

"Yes Alalh, this gift is too big for me mas" Sumi's mother felt inappropriate when she saw what was in front of her eyes the account of the husband reassured her if it was a fortune for her who had been patient facing a life that was not easy

Indeed, sometimes we ourselves often complain about what we face today, blaming the giver of destiny that this is unfair but there are things we do not know behind it all, he said, there is a wonderful gift that HE will give us from any direction and also in a time that we did not expect
