A Story About Us And Taste

#18

“It’s okay.” Tama smiled. He knew this might be the end of his story with Nala.

Nala looked at Tama.

“There is someone who has been in my heart for years.” Nala's words stopped

“during that too we just kept quiet and held back our feelings, a sense of affection that could somehow be interpreted what.. We grew up together, so we didn't know what kind of affection we felt”. Nala's voice was held back.

Tama just fell silent listening to Nala and trying to digest what Nala said.

“Honey someone and hold that feeling for years is not an easy thing. Loving myself in silence I thought that was the best way for me. As we grew up, the feeling grew more and more stifling. Until finally, when we ventured to clarify everything, it was too late. Yeah.so late. We are not meant to be together.” said Nala slowly

Tama looked at Nala not understanding.

“You mean Nal?” Ask Tama

“I'm sorry that I'm so selfish, all this time I always try to be indifferent with mas Tama. I really understand how the pain is treated like that but, it is precisely I also do the same thing against mas Tama.” Nala stabilized her breathing

“Right now, I'm trying to rearrange my heart.” Lirih

Nala placed the necklace box in front of Tama

“I do not deny that some times my heart wavers with the treatment of mas Tama against me. It's not that I've been ignorant and indifferent to Tama's feelings all along, but it scares me so much. I don't want mas Tama to just get his role and just be his shadow.” Nala was silent

“I want to love you sincerely.” he continued staring at Tama

Tama's blue eyes widened, she increasingly did not understand what Nala was saying.

“Nalaa..” Tama's voice restrained

“Will be more patient facing me mas?, will you hold my hand gently while I still learn to get up?” Nala smiled with tears welled up her eyes looked at Tama

Tama grabbed and clasped Nala's hand, not knowing what she was feeling right now. Her heart trembled to hear Nala give her a chance for them to be together.

Tama smiled and did not feel her tears wet her cheeks, she bowed while continuing to hold Nala's hand.

“I promise I will treat you well Nal, I love you very much.” said softly Tama

Nala nodded and smiled as well with tears non-stop flowing.

The drizzling weather that blanketed the afternoon felt so warm for two people who clasped hands.

Nala, the girl did not position Tama as an escape from her heartbreak.. Tama is the person who has always been there beside her. The feelings towards Ray that he had not expressed were always his guilt towards Tama. He does not want to open his heart when his past with Ray is not finished. And at this time, maybe this is the right time for him to open a new page with someone who has been caring and sincere about him.

And Ray, let the story be a beautiful story.

Flash back the day before in the park,

“Are you sure of your decision Nal?” Rendy looked at her best friend

“Ren, cave and Ray are done, even without us starting.” Nala while looking at the view of the lake in front of her.

“Currently, there is someone who is so sincere about loving the cave. People who are always there without demanding and complaining with the cave.” Further

“But Nal, the cave does not want you to force yourself just because you feel guilty about the person.” Rendy's chuckles

Nala smiled at her best friend and shook her head slowly.

“engga Ren, after what happened in singapore yesterday. The unconscious cave turns out to be a cave feeling and Ray is just an unfinished feeling. Conscious or even involved in the clay cave Ray so concerned with Adelia, he will feel gaasa ga calm if Adelia ga no news.” Nala

“Cave knows Ray, Ren. Cave knows Ray very well. Right now, maybe he is still denying his own heart to Adel.” Nala is clear

“Trus you want to sacrifice Tama?.” Rendy looked at Nala seriously

“Gua belom done talking dodol.” Nala shouts Rendy's impatient head

“Why can a caveman say Ray is still denying his feelings for Adelia? Because that's actually what the cave did to Tama.” Nala continued

Rendy glared at his eyes in disbelief

“You mean what Nal?”

“Gua all this time just the same focus Ray. Cave is so obsessed with clarity of feeling among us.” Nala looked at Rendy

“Nal pliss don't beat around the bush.” Rendy held her head that was not dizzy

“This year, without the cave realize only Tama who is beside Ren cave. The cave always felt comfortable with him, the heart of the cave always felt warm near him. Cave always finds him if he's a mace in the reach of the cave, and the cave just realized all that after what happened.” Nala controlled her breathing

“The heart of the cave is sick, the cave is destroyed after knowing Ray wants to marry Adel. But, the heart of the cave is also happy after knowing that Ray also cares about Adel. And in fact the cave is fine with it all.”

“At first the cave was confused. The cave is so dear to Ray, the cave doesn't want to lose him. But, on the other hand the cave cares about Tama. As hard as the cave dodges, the cave indifferes him. But in the end the cave will feel safe if the cave squirms he is in a cave.” Nala said at length

“Ren, what exactly is the same cave?.” He looked at Rendy

Rendy looked at Nala with a confused face

“Nala, you healthy Nal?.” Rendy held Nala's forehead

“Yes Lord Nal, you why never tell the same cave, huh?.” Rendy's face was flushed

“So, all this time the cave was wrong?.” Rendy shook her head

“After you explain everything, the cave just understood. So, this is what Ray means?.” Rendy patted his head

“What about Ray?” Nala looked at Rendy's face as if she had found something she was looking for

“Ray always said the same cave, he was afraid to reveal everything is the same Lu Nal because now everything has changed.” Rendy said slowly

“Gua always did not understand what he meant, gua thought his feelings changed but it turns out your direction changed Nal.” he continued

Just as Rendy and Nala were silent, they were busy with their respective thoughts. Until finally Rendy decided to take a walk looking for confectionery and give room for Nala to think.”

Flashback off

Tama stopped his car in front of Nala's yard

“Tomorrow I'll pick you up?” tama's smile was still holding Nala's hand

“Hmm. ga need mas, kanya better we meet after going home from work. I don't want to be a gossipan material in the office and even disrupt our work”. Nala gave her understanding to Tama

“okay, I think it's the best. You immediately rest yaa.” smile Tama

After saying goodbye, Tama immediately went home.

Nala walked slowly in the yard of her house. For some reason his heart is so calm at this time, his feelings for Tama are not clear what they are but, his heart feels warm if he remembers his friendship with the man who is now his lover.
