Arinda, First Love

Arinda

Jakarta, March 20, 2020.

Morning in the city of Jakarta which always looks crowded in every corner. Several workers, students and students who were seen crammed waiting in line for the busway at each stop became a common sight.

Arinda Hanania is one of the employees in one of the companies in the field of import exports, at the age of 25 years he has not been interested in a family like his friends.

Several times in a relationship with a man, but Arinda could never convince his heart to immediately have a relationship to a more serious level than just dating.

His love story in High School makes him a person who is always vigilant. He was a little traumatized by men, until now even if there was a lover who dared to propose to him, instead of feeling happy he actually felt disappointed.

He could not believe too much in the seriousness of a man to him. Rather than rejecting the proposal, Arinda would instead ask to break up with her lover.

His new heart first knew love when High School had to end up getting disappointed in it .

He decided not to believe in love and commit to a relationship. He will only love his lover properly and only.

He did not want to fall again in the same hole, the hole that dragged him drowning in endless pain, disappointment and despair.

It has been 4 years he worked, and this is his 8th year he lives alone in Jakarta.

Arinda is one of the residents of Bogor, a city that is famous as a rainy city.

It is only 2 hours away by train.

After graduating High School he chose to study in Jakarta and live in boarding houses with his college friends. But after graduation he chose to stay in Jakarta and work there.

He was too scared to live in his hometown. Besides being afraid to meet someone from his past, Arin is also afraid to remember every memory that is there.

Too many memories remind him of his first love. The man who made him first knew the meaning of love while incising many wounds.

Arinda no longer wants to remember his name, nor anything that concerns him. He decided to bury all the memories of his love story and teenage years deeply.

Arinda completely disappeared from her past world, even she never communicated with her school friends just yet because she did not want to hear any news about her.

She began her new life as a student in the Metropolitan city. Until finally after he finished his education he chose not to return to the city of rain, his hometown.

****

That morning Arinda left for work in a hurry. It just so happened that the matic motorcycle that used to accompany him every day exploring every corner of Jakarta city suddenly just broke down.

Because there was an important meeting in his office at 8 am, Arinda chose to book an online motorcycle taxi because of her annoyance at the busway line that increasingly took up more valuable time.

With a slightly messy appearance, while running towards the elevator to get to the 10th floor. Arinda tidied up her clothes and hair that were blown by the wind when on the motorcycle earlier.

Brukk, manor,

All the neatly arranged files suddenly fell apart when he accidentally hit someone shortly after he got out of the elevator.

A man wearing a moderately expensive suit immediately bent over to help pick up and tidy up all of Arinda's fallen belongings.

Deg, man,

Arinda just silently pecked, his heart suddenly felt tightness and pain simultaneously.

For some reason suddenly the shadow of the past swirled in his brain like a projector playing a scene in a movie.

The tall and tan-skinned man handed over all the goods Arinda fell scattered on the floor.

"I'm sorry" said the man in a raucous voice and deep gaze.

There were no words that Arinda could say at that moment, her tongue felt faint and her lips suddenly locked tightly.

At a glance they met, Arinda immediately turned her gaze in the other direction. He could not look at the person who was standing in front of him.

Arinda decided to leave and leave the man without saying a word. Although it has been 8 years, Arin can still clearly remember the face of someone who so he hated half to death.

While the man was constantly staring at the back of Arin who was getting away from where he was standing. His legs seemed to be firmly stuck making him not even able to move his legs to pursue the girl he had longed for.

His eyes were deep and full of longing. He was so shocked and happy to see the girl who had had had his heart for so long, it was in front of him.

All this time he could only imagine what his Arinda would be like after 8 years. Not only beautiful, Arin looks more charming with her appearance and makeup that makes her look mature.

He did not feel angry with the attitude of Arin who only ignored him. Because he was well aware of his past mistakes made him very deserving to be treated that way.

He has hurt the heart of the woman he truly loves.

"if this is one of God's ways to bring us together again, I am so grateful and grateful" he murmured inwardly

He could only exhale deeply to calm his heart and his mind suddenly became chaotic. Yes, at that time fate reunited them after 8 years.
