Chapter 43

Flashback a few hours ago

Julian fulfilled his promise to take his lover Briggita and Dewi around the city of Zurich. Accompanied by his friend Erkan who also has never gone to tourist attractions in this city. Before going to the Rhine waterfall, they first went to the Swiss National Museum which they happened to pass.

The Swiss National Museum is a magnificent museum built in 1898 by Gustav Gull with a French Renaissance-style urban palace. The museum has a spacious building with different design themes in each of its parts. The museum offers a variety of collections such as sculptures, paintings, to the altar carved.

Briggita and Julian walked both in front leaving Goddess and Erkan behind. The goddess understood that Briggita was in a relationship with Julian. At first Dewi had felt awkward left behind with Erkan, so he gave a little distance when having to walk with a man he had just known. Erkan who was a Muslim also felt the discomfort of the Goddess.

“How long has it been here?” asked Erkan breaking the silence.

“Quite long, it seems to have been 7 months,” replied Dewi.

“Where have you been in Switzerland?”

“Newly this time I went out and took a walk. Yesterday I was just at home.”

“What are you doing? Why just at home?” ask Erkan. This man immediately realized that the question he had just thrown could make the Goddess uncomfortable.

“Sorry I seem to ask too many questions,” Erkan said unkindly.

“It's okay. I will answer what I can answer,” said Dewi while smiling knots to Erkan.

“Cantics.” One word that was thrown in Erkan's heart when he saw the Goddess' smile.

“For so long I have stayed silent in my house in Iseltwald. Sometimes I walk around Lake Brienz until I finally taught Briggita and Julian to walk,” explained Dewi.

“It looks like you are looking for calm in this country. People say this place is perfect for those who want healing, and it seems right.”

“Iya is indeed correct.”

Small conversations happen while they are in the museum. Starting from discussing about work, the country, and about historical items on display in this museum. The goddess was amazed because it turned out that Erkan knew a lot about these historic trunks.

“Because I love history,” Erkan replied when asked why he could know almost all the historical items there.

“Hmm attractive. I remember the first president of Indonesia, never forget history,” said Dewi.

After leaving the museum, they continued their journey to the Rhine waterfall. Rhine Falls or Rhine Falls is the largest waterfall in Europe located in the Rhine, the border between the cantons of Schaffhausen and Zurich. Its length reaches 23 meters and width is 150 meters, while its volume ranges from 250 to 600 square meters per second. In the summer, the flow is increasingly swift because the snow from alpine mountains also melts.

The goddess continued to flank Briggita's hand because she did not want to be left again by the woman. Although Erkan was a good man, but he realized that he was a married woman especially now that he was far from her husband. Occasionally Julian comes as if to take Briggita from the Goddess but fails because Julian gets a sharp gaze from the Goddess.

Dewi and Briggita spent time with a selfie around the waterfall. It just so happens that it is summer, so many beautiful flowers are blooming on the edge of the waterfall flow.

Satisfied to play on the Rhine, they continued their journey back towards the city of Zurich. This time they visited Lake Zurich.

Julian saw Erkan who had been staring at the Goddess with a different look.

“Why? Beautiful huh?” goda Julian's.

“Who?” ask Erkan who doesn't know what Julian's saying.

“Do not think I do not know if you see the Goddess with a different gaze.”

“Oos. Hows it? We both look good, right?”

“Hmm yes match. But you better quickly get rid of your feelings.”

“Why?” Erkan furrowed his brows.

“She's married,” Julian replied.

“Married? Then where's her husband? But it looks like she's in trouble with her husband right?” ask Erkan.

“Indeed she was having trouble with her husband. Even if he is in trouble, never once do you enter among them. Do not let because of you their relationship is getting destroyed,” Julian said.

“I'm not that crazy. I just watched it from far away. If indeed she is not happy with her husband, then she will act.”

“As for you, obviously I have warned you not to be the third person in the relationship of the Goddess with her husband,” Julian said.

“Hmm.”

They leave this area of Lake Zurich when the sun has set. Next they walked towards the cafe before Dewi and Briggita returned to their inn.

The atmosphere of the night in the cafe is very crowded because because today is Sunday night. Many young people visit this cafe. Small lights hang a lot above so that makes the atmosphere here so cool. There are also some people who are preparing musical instruments up front there, it looks like there will be a live music show.

The four of them looked for a seat in front near the stage. After being seen, it turns out that Dewi knows the members of this band. They are the fillers of a music program on one of the Korean television stations. They often sing in public places both at home and abroad. The goddess did not expect to see directly and closely the great singers of the ginseng country.

Ahead of the event, Briggita permits to go to the toilet and is accompanied by Julian. The goddess did not bother. He then sat at the table with Erkan. Not how long Erkan was saying goodbye for a while because he wanted to pick up the phone. Now the Goddess is at that table.

Music playing. The goddess knows this song. The song sung by male singer Tim Hwang had hits in early 2003 is now sung back in front there. The lyrics that might match the feelings of the Goddess made the woman shed her tears once in a while.

To drive away her sadness the Goddess turned her gaze away from the direction of the stage. When he looked back, he seemed to see the figure of the man he really missed. The man was sitting together with the woman the last time they met the woman wanted to frame her husband.

“Oh already got a new one apparently,” muttered Dewi.

It was not long before their views finally clashed. Reza looked surprised to see the Goddess who was not far from her seat. The goddess who realized it immediately stood up and ran away from Reza without caring about the friends who had come with her earlier. Reza kept shouting the name of the Goddess

“Goddess wait!”
