Contrition

We meet in the wrong way, but do not blame the love that has been present. Let me still love you, even if you don't want to repay me.

Throughout the hospital hallway, Gilang still held Maura's hand. Take him on a step.

Maura's heart was happy. Gilang's words to Laras earlier proved his love. Every now and then Maura stared at Gilang's face, who was just quietly enjoying his steps. Until finally Maura was surprised when Gilang stopped stepping.

His face looked towards Maura suddenly. Making Maura surprised because she had been staring at Gilang in silence since earlier.

"Why?"

"It's okay." Maura answered by staring in any direction.

"Why should you secretly look at me."

"Huh?" Maura said in surprise and this time dared to look at Gilang's face.

"You must be fascinated by your girlfriend's face."

"Hemm.wrong, I was just blown away by your words in front of Laras." Said Maura while looking down.

"That's exactly what I have to say Ra. Forcing the will hurts everything."

"Thank you Lang. I honestly had doubts."

"Why doubt?"

"Let's go, I dreamt you'd come back to Laras." Maura said honestly at last.

"You believe in that dream."

"I'm just scared."

"Here you go, it's just a dream, forget it, now we check your legs." Invite her then and slowly pull Maura's hand again to step back.

"So to the doctor?" Maura asked withholding Gilang's hand.

"Yes so dong Ra."

"It's better for Lang."

"You're not a doctor, we'll make sure."

"But.."

"No, I'm fat..."

"Okay I'm shaken." Maura said quickly and relented eventually.

Gilang smiled, looking at Maura's nervousness. He just wants Maura to be okay. I wanted Maura to feel no more pain in her leg. Want to immediately bring Maura to meet her parents in good condition.

The barrel was crying back, his tears were coming down as Gilang was completely gone. His figure is no longer visible.

"Why do you have to send Gilang here, Bi.. Why?" Said Baras slightly shouting.

"Because you want to meet him."

"He hates me so much."

"Why don't you apologize." Bian said and made Laras speechless saying nothing.

Apologizing, Laras never thought about it. He's been selfish all along.

"You called Gilang's name many times in your sleep Ra, so I asked Gilang to visit you." Bian said again and stopped when his phone sounded.

"Rest, I'll pick up the phone first." Bian continued again and he stepped away leaving Laras alone.

Back pensive with the remains of tears on the cheeks. His face looked wet, his eyes looked puffy. His gaze stared outwards from behind the window of the hospital room he was occupying.

There's someone who cares about him. Baras knows exactly who it is. I liked it at first. Maybe it's a wrong taste. A sense of moment, a sense of wanting to get temporary happiness.

Bian was present, when he felt empty of Gilang who was increasingly busy with his career. Maybe that's not one of the reasons. Bian did come deliberately to ruin the relationship and succeeded at that time.

Laras' love is tested, he can't resist selfishness in her. Cheating.The path chosen Baras finally. He wants to feel Bian's love, but he doesn't want to let go of Gilang.

But still have to choose the end, and it turns out the choice is wrong. He still misses Gilang. Regret and that's how he feels to this day.

Regret in both, hoping to return but it feels impossible. Bian tries to keep caring, removing mistakes that have happened. While Laras is still trapped will selfishness that still covers his heart.

The door opened again after being closed by Bian earlier. Bian reentered with a nun with him. Time for a check-up. The silent barrel only observes the process that is happening.

It didn't take long, only Bian and Laras stayed back in the room.

"I want to eat an apple, Bi.." Said Laras and managed to make Bian surprised and stared in disbelief.

"Bi.." Call Laras again.

"Well, I'll let you go." Bian said quickly when he realized that this was not a dream.

Baras rightly asked him to peel the apple for himself. At first he refused, even throwing it away. I don't know what happened when he came out of this room. All of a sudden Laras spoke like that. Peeling slowly finally, Bian realized that Laras was watching him.

"Go home after this, Bi.." Said Laras and managed to stop Bian's action for a moment.

"I want to be here." Bian said and continued by making small pieces of apples to be eaten by Laras.

"You need to rest."

"I can rest here."

"I can't repay your kindness."

"I know that, you don't have to think much. Eat this." Say Bian again while handing one of the apple pieces to the barrel.

Bian's hands point to Laras' mouth, Bian tries to bribe Laras. Laras did not reject him this time, but his eyes glazed over as he looked at Bian at that moment.

"You go on, I want to go to the toilet." Pamit Bian finally.

Bian left Laras quickly, feeling like he wanted to cry to look at Laras in front of him.

"I'll go Race, once I'm sure you're okay." Bian said in his heart along the way leaving Laras.

The sky already looked so dark, from a distance Maura stared at the beautiful flickering stars through a window of her room was.

Maura stepped then, towards a room door, and her gaze stared around after she managed to open the door of the brown-painted room.

Maura's smile was clearly engraved on his face, when he found the figure of Gilang who was still in this apartment.

Maura stepped closer and Gilang realized Maura's arrival. Gilang got up from his seat immediately, and approached Maura.

"You didn't sleep Lang?"

"You, yourself, why did you wake up?"

"Ehm. I'm just thirsty." Said Maura with Gilang's hand that had landed right at the end of Maura's head and rubbed it slowly.

"Please wait here, I'll get it." Pinta Gilang and smiled at that.

Gilang stepped away, leaving Maura alone, sitting on a sofa that had been sat by Gilang. Maura's eyes looked around, a laptop seemed to light up. A cup of tea and still looked warm right on the table at the time.

Maura looked the other way, to her left. A photo was catching Maura's attention at the moment. Someone who was with Gilang in the photo. Smiling and looking happy.
