The Painful Decision

"Darling!" call Kairi while approaching Ella, and stand next to her.

"Eh you're here Kai" Ella said with a smile.

"This is Kairi, my future husband" Ella said, holding Kairi's arm.

"Hi, congratulations, be happy for your marriage" Kairi said while greeting Nathan, and Vani.

"Thank you, I'm waiting for an invitation from you" Nathan said, and Kairi only responded with a smile.

"Thank you for attending our show" Vani said with a smile, and again Kairi only responded with a smile.

"It's just right that Ella's mother did not choose Andra, this man is more handsome than Andra." Vani's inner while looking at Kairi.

Then Kairi and Ella stepped a little further away, as many other guests approached Nathan, and Vani to congratulate him. Ella and Kairi stepped towards the table, they were about to take a drink. Suddenly, a woman came to greet Ella.

"Ella, how are you?" she shouted as she hugged Ella tightly. Kairi scrunched her forehead, who was that woman.

Ella gasped in shock, she knew who the woman who was hugging her was, she was Nadhira.

"How do I greet Nadhira, she broke up with Andra for me. Why is he hugging me now, is he not angry with me." Ella's inner voice while replying to Nadhira's embrace hesitantly.

"A...I'm good Nad, how are you?" asked Ella nervously.

"I'm also good, even though yesterday was bad" replied Nadhira as she let go of her embrace. He seemed to be smiling widely, showing off his rows of white, neat teeth.

"Who are you coming with?" asked Ella to switch the conversation, she did not want to discuss the bad things that Nadhira experienced, because all of that was caused by her.

"With friends, he'll come here later. El said you had a girlfriend, you brought her here, right?" nadhira asked still with his smile.

"Nadhira is so cheerful, is she not angry with me. Doesn't she know, if Andra likes me." Ella's inner.

"Yes, this is Kairi, my future husband" Ella said, holding Kairi's hand.

"Nadhira." said Nadhira as he extended his hand.

"He's Nadhira, so this is Andra's fiancee." Kairi's inner.

"Kairi." said Kairi while welcoming Nadhira's hand.

"Could it be her brother Andra, not similar at all." Nadhira's inner self as she glanced at Kairi.

"You met in London, how long have you been in a relationship?" ask Nadhira.

"Yes, we met in London. And we're in a relationship for about two months." Ella replied with a smile.

"Two months." Nadhira repeated Ella's words while frowning in wonder. How lucky Ella, only two months old, was to have planned the wedding. While he, it has been more than two years, but ran aground in the middle of the road.

Kairi smiled blandly at Nadhira's words. It seemed that the woman did not believe Ella's answer, but naturally, only two months had already planned the wedding. Kairi again remembered about Andra, compared to her, she was indeed just a new person to Ella.

"If you guys when is the plan?" nadhira asked while looking at Ella, and Kairi alternately.

"In the near future." replied Ella.

"Thank God, don't forget to invite me." said Nadhira.

And yet Ella answered Nadhira, suddenly a man came to them.

"It turns out you're here, Nad, I deserve to be looking there, there's nothing" the man said, pointing to Nathan and Vani.

"The chin!" greet Ella when she finds out that the man is Vino.

Vino turned his head, looked at Ella and then smiled.

"El, this is you, how are you? Who did you come with?" vino asked with a big smile.

"My news is good, and I came alone with him. Meet Kairi, my future husband." replied Ella.

"Vino" Vino said as he extended his hand.

"Kairi." replied Kairi.

"Like westerners, his father Andra is also western. But why the face of Andra native to Indonesia." Inner Vino while looking at Kairi.

"Vino, someone I originally thought of as Gabriella's best friend. Ahh if your best friend were really him, maybe I wouldn't feel restless like this." Kairi inner with a long sigh.

They talked for a long time, while enjoying the food and drinks that had been provided. And after the show was over, Ella and Kairi walked out to her car. They get in the car, and start driving away from Nathan's house. The journey to Ella's house did not take long, because the road had begun to be quiet, so Kairi could drive his car a little faster.

Slowly Kairi starts stopping the car, they have now reached the front of Ella's house. Ella removed her seatbelt, and prepared to get out of the car.

"Gabriella wait!" kairi said as she grabbed Ella's hand, and looked at her fixedly.

"What's Kai?" ask Ella.

"I want to talk for a while, there's something important I want to tell you" Kairi replied.

"What's important Kai?" asked Ella with a fast beating heart, judging by the look on her face, it seemed like Kairi was not talking about anything good.

"I want us to get here." said Kairi slowly.

"You and Andra should be happy, you can be a good influence on him. And he's a guy who knows you for a long time, you'd be happier with Gabriella." Kairi's inner heart.

"What do you mean Kai?" asked Ella with her heart beating faster, Kairi asked to end, did she hear wrong?

Ella's eyes began to heat up, and her vision began to blur, clear circles had already begun to pool in her eyes.

"Why Kai?" ella asked in a very slow voice, her chest tightened so she had trouble making her voice.

"Andra loves you, I know you know Gabriella too. I let you go, so you can be happy with Andra" Kairi said as she looked at Ella. Although he could not bear to see Ella who began to cry, but this was the best way. He didn't want his sister to get hurt again, and lock herself up like yesterday. He also did not want Ella to regret it later.

"Then why if Andra loves me, all I love is you Kai. I'd be happy to be with you, you said you'd marry me, but why did you let me go!" ella shouted with tears that began to wet her cheeks.

"You love me, but I know you still have feelings for Andra. I don't want to be a barrier between you. He who knows you first, he who first gets your love. So she has more right to marry you" Kairi said at length.

"You're wrong Kai, I don't have any feelings for him. You said you could accept my past, but why are you now taking issue with it" Ella said.

"It's not that I'm concerned about your past, I'm just appreciating the feelings you've saved for Andra" Kairi said.

"I don't hold feelings for Andra Kai, do you still doubt me?"

"Sorry Gabriella, but only you can restore her spirit. I don't want him back hurt, and down, if we keep together" Kairi said.

Ella rubbed her tears, she really did not understand Kairi's way of thinking, very strange according to him.

"When did you promise to always love me, now where did you promise Kai, why did you deny it?" ella said while looking at Kairi.

"I'm sorry, I did all this, so that none of us would get hurt. You know Gabriella, our togetherness hurt Andra, so now I'm taking you off. I wish you could be happy with Andra" Kairi said.

"I love you Kai, you think I'd be happy, being with Andra. No, Kai, I'm happy to be with you." said Ella.

"I'm sure there's still a little feeling you've saved for Andra. You can keep that feeling, and I'm sure you'll be happy" Kairi said.

"It turns out you doubted my feelings Kai, and it turns out you didn't believe me either, I'm disappointed in you Kai!" ella said in a slightly high tone. His heart grew increasingly claustrophobic when he heard the words of Kairi, who considered herself still harboring feelings for Andra.

"I've only filled your heart for two months, and Andra, seven years you've loved her. Maybe I can replace him. And again, Andra came home last night, she listened to all your words. Now you know how important you are in his life. Please don't hurt her, come back to her, and love her. I wish you guys could be happy" Kairi said.

Ella closed her eyes, trying to hold the clear circle from dripping more and more.

"Are you sure of your decision Kai?" ask Ella.

"I'm sure." replied Kairi.

"Well, if that's your decision, I appreciate Kai. But one thing you have to remember, I will never choose Andra. You said our togetherness made Andra hurt. Do you think my togetherness and Andra will make us happy. No Kai, only Andra is happy, but you and I will be hurt. So now, we're separated, but I didn't choose Andra, so that the three of us would be equally hurt, wouldn't that be more fair Kai" Ella said, staring straight ahead, he did not look at Kairi who was next to him.

"But Gabriella, Andra loves you so much, she'll get hurt again, if you don't choose her" Kairi said.

"I don't care, don't you care about my feelings either. I'll be away from your lives. I will choose someone else to replace you." Ella said as she looked at Kairi.

"But Gabriella." said Kairi.

"I appreciate your decision, so you should also respect my decision. Besides, now you're not who I am anymore, so you don't have the right to make my choice. My life, it's me alone who determines, not anyone else." Ella said firmly. He was already disappointed with Kairi's attitude, could-be the man doubted his feelings, and now let go.

Kairi was silent, he did not answer Ella's words, he just stared at her fixedly.

"One thing you should know is Kai, who I told you about once. When I decide to leave, I will never come back. I gave up, I don't want to hope for Andra anymore. I've decided to get away from her, so whenever I'll never go back to her." Ella said with a quick glance at Kairi, the man was still silent, and Ella resumed her sentence.

"And that goes for you too Kai. When you let me go, and I have agreed to your request, I will never return. I'll never come back to you Kairi, never will." Ella continued, staring intently at Kairi, then she opened her car door, and got off quickly.

Kairi was stunned, she looked at Ella who was already on the doorstep of her house. It is clear if Ella is very disappointed, but how else does she not want to hurt her sister.

"I'm sorry Gabriella, but I don't want to hurt Andra, our family relationship has just improved. And also, I'm sure you still have feelings for her, it's not that hard for you to be in a relationship with her. I wish you all the best." said Kairi, turning on the engine of his car.

With quick steps Ella walked towards her room. Fortunately, it was late enough, so her mother and sister were asleep, and they did not know that Ella had come home with tears in her cheeks. Ella sat on the bed hugging her bolts, sobbing all by herself.

"Why are you doing this Kai, my heart hurts to accept your decision Kai" Ella said on the sidelines.

What really happened to Kairi, why did he suddenly ask to separate?

What makes Kairi doubtful about her feelings, could it be time in that apartment?

Ella gasped in shock, while in the apartment she was crying, what was it that made Kairi doubtful. But he had no other intention, he only cared because Andra was his best friend, and he used to be a meritorious man in his life.

Regarding tears, I don't know why he was so sad when he saw the fragile Andra like yesterday. As bad as Andra is, but she was once an important person in her life, which is why Ella still cares about Andra.

Ella rubbed the ring on her sweet day, her heart sliced with pain in light of the incident she had just experienced. This wound is more painful than the wounds of the past, when Andra was in a relationship with Nadhira. Ella clasped the ring tightly, and held it to her chest.

"I love you so much Kai, why would you do this to me. We've been planning a wedding, but why would it end in a breakup" Ella said sobbing.

Ella closed her eyes, her mind glaring far away, recalling her memories with Kairi. He was the man who came to extend his hand, as he was slumped in the lowest position. The man who always helped his every difficulty, the man also who had treated his once broken heart.

Kairi is a man who has introduced her to the beauty of love, but now, it is Kairi who shows the other side of love itself. Love is bitter, love is painful, and love is painful. Ella wiped her tears, her gaze fixed on her sweet ring.

"You introduced me to the beauty of meetings, but you also introduced me to the pain of separation. Why did you propose to me in such a romantic way, if you ended up leaving me this sadistic way. Just because of my slight mistake, you doubted my feelings and didn't believe me. Then our relationship all this time you consider what Kairi, do you think my feelings all this time were just messing around. For the first time I thought you were stupid Kairi, you couldn't understand my deepest feelings" Ella said very slowly.

"You stupid Kairi, you stupid!" ella said as she closed her mouth, she continued to sob, and her tears kept breaking.

Ella threw her body down on the bed, looking at the ceiling of her room with a blank look. His thoughts were only on Kairi, on the man who a few hours ago was still his lover. A shadow about a few days ago flashed back in his memory. While they were in the garden behind her house, Kairi kissed her lips, though only a glance, but their lips touched each other.

Ella recalled her words on the phone at the time, "Don't fuck yeah, you dare kiss me, don't expect to marry me" that's what she said as a joke.

But now the joke has come true. They parted, not long after Kairi kissed her lips.

Why did everything become like this?
