Dianra's Smile (Romantic Story)

HAPPY READING 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I hear that song almost every morning. Making my heart pound and always making me want to know who you are, who is the woman who every morning chants the same note and will stop in the fourth verse of the song's lyrics. I always wake up with a lot of curiosity. But when I found out I lost you.

The air of Jember city in the morning makes me wake up let alone hear the song that you play almost every day makes me want to know, what is with the song and lyrics? It's free to wonder what it is about yourself because you're the answer. I tried to watch you, I counted your tears, I counted how many times you played the song and I observed how many times you came to the park near my house. Today I should be able to get to know you at least who made your tears plunge freely into your cheeks.

“Can I sit here?” ask you and I don't see those lips moving. There is no answer at all. We are only accompanied by silence while the song still continues to flow without stopping.

Cause I wonder where you are

And I wonder what you do

Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?

Tell me how to win your heart

For I haven’t got a clue

But let me start by saying, I love you …

Just as the lyrics were I heard you were leaving your favorite seat. Am I bothering you? I just want to wipe away your tears that I see almost every day. But I can stop you from leaving. I am the unluckiest man in the world with the highest level of misfortune.

****

The same morning and the same song. If I may want to change that song, a song that makes you cry every day. I'm trying to get close to you again. Let's just say I'm a man who wants to get into your world. But all I want is your smile.

“My name is Eric Wibisana, just call Eric,”. I just want her to know me as a human she can talk to. Not as a statue. Consider this an introduction that shouldn't have happened. God has already predestined all of this.

“Diandra Larasati.”

One sentence from you said and the lyrics twisted my memory a day ago. You go again and stop at the tiitk before the song ends. What's with the song and what's with the song? Both are special questions for you but you've left me.

“Diandra...Diandra..Diandra,” muttered when you were gone. You make my curiosity level higher than the beautiful women I can get with one look in the eye. I even knew that I had eagle eyes that would make a woman drown in my eyes. If I look at you this time I'm afraid you won't come back to this place.

****

This is the third time I've met you in the hope that I'll get more information than just your name. Every time I look at you and never get bored. You're a 25-year-old girl, unmarried and had a bad experience with your man. It's just my amateur eye's observation that every time I look glumly at the song. There's an experience behind the song you listen to every time. Butwhat? I never knew. I'm a nobody so I'll never be entitled to know everything about you.

“There's something behind that song?” I ask directly to the problem. I don't want to stay silent for too long and be curious. I'll get to know him every day and start loving him if I never know what's going on. This time I looked at him sharply and completely sharp than usual. I don't care if my eyes are eagle eyes ready to pounce on prey. But as a man, I never had the heart to look into those eyes. Eyes that shed tears every day.

“I come here every day because there's you,”

Your answer surprised me more than I imagined my missed prediction. So that song? that cry? but what is my relationship with him? I remember I only knew him for a few days when he was sitting here.

“Can I touch your face?” your request was far away making me unable to say anything. I could only nod and feel the details of your tears.

“Don't leave me again, Ga,” your words between your cries.

No, one name I don't know yet. But today I saw a little smile on her red lips. And Ga, who is he? I can't ask who the guy who probably has almost the same face as me. What song does a guy named Ga like.

****

“Why do you like that song?”

“This is your favorite song, Ga, you know, you'd rather hear that song than me,” he said spoiled me like I was someone he knew for longer than 4 days of our meeting.

“Ga, who is it?”

“Are you not Ega Kurniawan? my boyfriend, did you forget?”

“Din, I'm Eric but whatever you call me. But if one day you've obliterated your bitter memories. Call me Eric,”

Tears were gradually flowing from those eyes. I don't want to see these eyes flowing those tears. But I hope this is the last tear I see. Today everything should be open and I am ready to accept his past. I don't know if I became Ega know who I was obviously accompanying him.

****

Ever since I became known as Eric, Diandra never came back to the park near the house. Maybe I've hurt her and maybe I've faded her smile. Finding Ega was gold to him but finding Eric was nothing. I'm sure he loves Ega more than Eric. I don't know if I can't think under these circumstances. Ega, where is he? Why did he just leave the woman who loved him.

“Ega did not go to leave Diandra, Ric,” said my grandmother who surprised me. Even my grandmother knows who Ega is but I don't know.

“You've only been in town a few days, Ega's your brother. You're twins, but your fathers separated you. And about Ega deliberately kept secret his whereabouts,”

“Then where is Ega?”

“Ega had dated Diandra since here, but she was taken away by your father because she had a deadly disease.”.

“And grandma accepts all that?”

“Of course not, Ric, do you know who will fight the disease? now grandma asks you to sue Ega for Diandra,”

I can't say anything but obey my grandmother's orders and my heart's orders. I love Diandra and I love my grandmother and my twin sister. Hopefully he'll come home and recover from that damn disease. But what if Ega comes back here? I don't care about this destiny of hdup. Let everything be like this now.

***

“I'm sorry, Ric, because I've mistaken you for Ega, I know Ega won't come again,”

This time let the man who felt himself strong cry. The tears of happiness because Diandra returned to the way she was. Hopefully he can accept the fact that I have Eric and not Ega.

“I love you, Dra,”and I see that smile emanating. Maybe he's like seeing a second Ega but it doesn't make my love fade. I love Diandra for who she is and her past.

“I also love you long ago until now,”

And the sky was clear, Diandra's smile was redder than a red rose. I will be with him and wipe away his tears. For my brother and for my dantiraku.

Finishes.
