Back To Yes

Chapter 24

Going away leaving a question mark, going home made everyone surprised. Who her?

****

Tristan and Maura waved as the white-colored car gave a horn and began to leave his house.

Maura elbowed Tristan. "Women was Kauki's friend?"

Tristan nodded slowly.

"Kok Kauki didn't tell me if I had a new theme."

"Emang Kauki likes your same story?"

"hey are. Kauki often confided in me" Maura said.

"I whose brother is rarely cursed."

Maura chuckles at Tristan's cute face when he pouts.

"Maybe you don't matter" he said.

Tristan smile. "It's okay, deh. As long as I'm important to you" he said, playing with eyebrows.

"Buck!"

🍁🍁🍁

Kauki and Alpha enter Kauki's house while swiping his carrier bag. The beautiful and handsome face looks tired, yes, abis climbing the highest mountain on the island of Java how not tired.

Meow..

The cute voice of Ferguso made the two turn their heads. The dimpled girl smiled brightly as Ferguso squirmed a small run towards her.

"Hey... How are you?"

Ferguso got into a hug and kept trying to kiss Kauki, his mouth constantly meowing as if calling 'mommy.. Mommy!'

Kauki chuckles at the adorable attack from Ferguso.

"Ehem. Mommy doang kangen? Same Daddy?" chirps Alpha.

Kauki. "Curried, Daddy? Sori, you're not Ferguso's Daddy. Isn't that right, Fer?"

Beyond a doubt, Ferguso actually jumped and moved into the arms of Alpha. Kauki gawked while the guy smilingly won.

"See? I think Ferguso can accept me as his new Daddy."

Kauki just shrugged his shoulders. Good if you are familiar.

Ting tung

The bell of Kauki's house rang. The two looked at each other then stepped towards the front room.

Chequek.

"Half-o.." Kauki's greeting came to a halt as the guests were writhing.

Not only Kauki, Alpha was also surprised to see the figure of the girl they met several months in the hospital.

"Then.na?" Kauki called out the name of the girl in front of him with mixed feelings.

Laluna smiled. "Hi, Kauki. Long time no see" he said.

"Mh.. Lun, who are you here with?" ask Alpha.

Honestly, squirming Laluna's whereabouts, making Alpha afraid of himself. Alpha is afraid that Laluna will come with Nando, and if the man returns, it is certain that he will fail to get Kauki.

Not that Alpha doesn't want to meet Nando, but Alpha is just scared. Afraid that Kauki might return to Nando's arms.

And if that happens, what about him?

"Gue's here the same-"

"Hi, Kauki."

Alpha and Kauki were both stunned by the arrival of the bespectacled man in front of them.

The man, who was six months away, is now back with a charming smile.

"Viral!" hiss Alpha and Kauki together. And yes, the glasses guy is a Viral.

Viral smiled seeing the shock on the faces of his two best friends. The release of glasses that a few weeks this hung on the nose of his nose because of the minus he had recently suffered.

Viral activities that can not be separated from the gadget make the eyes of the man minus. But it's not important, the important thing now is to ask for as much explanation from the man.

"Hey, my people, miss me?" Viral hugged his best friend one by one while the one who was hugged looked at him cengo.

"Why are you two together?" ask Alpha.

Instead of answering, Laluna and Viral looked at each other and threw a smile. Making a frown on Alpha's forehead.

Kauki's eyes instead moved in search of someone he missed.

"Mh.. Ral, Lun, where's Nando?"

Viral took a heavy breath while Laluna looked down miserably.

"Kauki, I came with Laluna to come here to explain everything, Ki," he said.

🍁🍁🍁

Alpha pours the drink into the glass while his brain wanders. While Kauki was busy talking to Viral and Laluna.

Resign, if Nando returns Alpha can only resign. Maybe Kauki isn't her match.

All Alpha lacquers have to do now is harden his heart.

Just be happy, Ki. Inner Alpha.

After the four glasses of drink were ready, Alpha took him to the living room where Kauki and his two guests were.

"Nando's dead, Ki."

Deg.

Alpha's steps stopped, his breathing choked. Whahuh? What did Viral say?

With dewy eyes Kauki shook his head, chuckling in response to Viral's remarks which he considered a joke.

"You're not funny, Ral."

Viral looked at Kauki softly, Laluna who was sitting next to him turned her watery face away.

Then Kauki's pangs were gone, the girl stared at Viral sharply. "Not funny, Ral!"

"Gue's not kidding. Nando's gone, Ki."

Viral's mind drifted into that incident, an event that hurt everyone.

6 Months ago.

Today the church is full of relatives of Nando and Laluna. Today, the day on which Nando and Laluna's wedding ceremony took place.

In the church chair, among the other guests, Viral sat sweetly with a sliced heart.

Nando only put on a flat face as Laluna walked with her father towards her.

Among all those in this church, only God knows how broken Nando's heart is because he has to marry a girl he doesn't love.

In Nando's shadow, it was not Laluna who stepped towards him, but Kauki. Her beautiful looking kauki with her wedding dress and sweet smile full of love.

Nando smiled faintly, the man reached out as Kauki approached. Unfortunately when Nando was about to grab the girl's hand, Kauki's face turned into Laluna and the smile faded from Nando's face.

While Laluna, no one knows if during the step towards Nando, Laluna was all her strength to endure the pain in her body. The illness is getting worse and Laluna is convinced that this is her last day.

But when he reached out to Nando, suddenly the pain attacked until Laluna squealed and fell.

"ACH!"

Viral shouted, "LALUNA!"

All his family panicked, especially Viral who immediately got up from his chair, running towards Laluna.

Nando gasped for the existence of Viral. But Nando knew this was not the right time to ask. They took Laluna to the hospital.

And that way, the marriage is also canceled.

----

"There is no other way, the patient should immediately get a liver donor, otherwise.." The doctor shook off the surrender sign.

The entire Laluna family sobbed, especially Mama Laluna who felt devastated. His body was limp as if it were losing bone.

Nando could only fall silent with a regretful face. He felt guilty for not being able to do anything to Laluna.

"I'm willing to donate my heart to Laluna." Viral's loud voice made all eyes stare at him.

"Viral?"

Viral approaches mama Laluna.

"Tante, I want to give my heart to Laluna. I love Laluna. Let me do this for Laluna."

Mama Laluna rubbed Viral's face and nodded with a wet face. "Yes, of course you can do it. Thank you for loving Laluna."

Viral nodded with a breath of tightness. This is the first time she has faced Laluna's mother, whom Viral already considers her mother-in-law. Unfortunately not.

"Let's go, before doing the donor, you have to do the examination first."

Viral nodded again, he sincerely did it which is important Laluna healed.

But as he was about to enter the examination room, Nando held him back.

"Don't, Ral."

"Please, this is all I can do for Laluna."

"You love Laluna? You should be by his side."

"But he loves lo, Nan."

"But I don't love Laluna. Why would I be with Laluna if I couldn't love her. You should have done that, Ral."

"But he loves you." Viral voice whirring.

Nando sighed, he had split up with the girl he loved and it hurt.

Nando doesn't want Viral to experience the same thing.

I could lie and say like it like that

Like it like that..

"Let me donate my heart to Laluna" she broke.

Viral looked at Nando in shock, then shook his head. "No, Nando, no. Let me just."

"I'd rather die than live with love because I have to. It's more excruciating, Viral."

"But Laluna doesn't love me." Viral's back down.

"Love is there because it's used to it, and you have to keep it by its side. That'sallthat's all. Laluna is the girl who needs attention, so give her that so she falls in love with you"

Viral looked at Nando doubtfully, the bespectacled man nodded convincingly.

With a heavy heart Viral retreated and let Nando in to do the examination.

Earlier, Nando turned around and looked at Viral with teary eyes.

"Ral, if I can't hold on, please tell Kauki that I love her. Even if I die, my love will live on for him" he said and went in for a check-up before a liver transplant.

The next day, the liver transplant went well, Nando's heart was fit and able to live in Laluna's body.

Unfortunately, Nando could not survive. But even so, the man left with a peaceful smile.

Viral's tears fall when Nando gives him a letter of trust, and the letter is for Alpha.

Viral's heart is mixed. Viral is grateful that Nando gave him the opportunity to be with Laluna, and is sad that Nando has to leave the whole world.

Laluna cries hysterically when Nando is gone, but Viral continues to hug her and calm her down.

Initially Laluna revolted, but it turned out that Viral was able to make her calm.

Two months later, Laluna became quiet. Healed, but became quiet.

But Viral's presence is able to make Laluna rise from grief and the caring Viral is slowly able to replace Nando's name in her heart.

Silent, there was only the sobs of Kauki and Laluna who were mutually unpretentious. Sobs from two girls who love Nando.

Alpha rubbed the shoulder of the crying Kauki in his arms.

Not only the two girls, Alpha and Viral were crying. Crying loss.

Suddenly Kauki breaks away from Alpha, then runs towards his room.

"Alpha," call Viral. "Nando nitipin's onto me before he leaves."

With a frown, Alpha took the white letter from Viral.

"This what?"

"Nando's last words to you."

Alpha down, Nando making a letter for her? But what's the reason?

"Gue same Laluna go first. Please take care of Kauki, because Nando is counting on you."

Viral pats Alpha on the shoulder slowly, then embraces Laluna who is still sobbing.

After the two leave, Alpha opens a letter from Nando.

Hey, Alpha. If this letter has reached your hands, it means that I am gone. Go far.

I know you're confused, why should I write you a letter? Calm down Alpha, this is not a love letter..

There's something I want to talk to you about. I should have said this in person, but I can't.

Wh why? Because what I want to tell you is something that hurts me.

Me, hand Kauki over to you. Yes, handing over the girl I love to another man is painful.

But I'm willing, because you're my best friend now.

I want you to take care of Kauki. Please replace me in his heart.

I hesitated because Kauki said, You can't be sandeled. Moreover, you could hurt him.

But lately I've realized something, Alpha. That you love Kauki.

So that's why I'm sure you'll take care of Kauki.

Please, don't hurt him. For whatever reason, don't hurt Kauki.

Consider this my last wish as your best friend, Alpha. I'm sorry if I've been wrong with you all this time. And sorry if my request weighs you down.

Beloved Kauki like something precious. And love Kauki as if you love yourself.

Love and love Kauki as if tomorrow you will die.

Nando's.

Alpha shed her tears right after she finished reading Nando's letter.

Without Nando telling him Alpha would wholeheartedly love Kauki.

And without Nando's word, Alpha will take care of Kauki like his own life.

Because now Kauki is not only his little best friend, but also his Alpha loved one.

🍁🍁🍁

Maura and Tristan just got home from where they ordered the wedding cake.

When he saw the door open, Tristan panicked, Tristan thought there was a thief. But the panic disappears when he finds Alpha in the living room.

"Alpha, have you returned? Where's kauki?"

Before replying, Alpha wiped his wet face. Tristan and Maura realize that Alpha is crying.

"Alpha, are you crying?"

Alpha was silent, then nodded in response to Maura's question.

Tristan chuckles. "Cowok kok nangis," the lead got an elbow from Maura.

Maura asked. "Why are you crying, Alpha?"

Alpha is breathing heavily. "You know Kauki's girlfriend Nando?"

Tristan and Maura nodded.

"That shot Kauki at that orphanage, right?" guess Maura.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Why?" Tristan asked confused.

"Nando.. died" said Alpha, who made the lovebirds widen their eyes.

"So, Kauki's girlfriend died?" asked Maura stuck. The woman closed her mouth in shock.

"What a fact you are, Alpha." Tristan tried to confirm the news he heard.

Alpha just nodded.

"Kasian Kauki's. Where are you going now?"

"In the room" said Alpha weakly.

Without a Babibu Maura directly ran towards Kauki's room. Because Maura was sure Kauki was sad there.

Tristan was silent. Remembering his meeting with Nando.

Tristan does not know Nando very well, but seeing Nando's polite demeanor, and the man's sincere look at his sister, makes Tristan sure that Nando is the right man for his sister.

Don't forget the courage Nando asked Kauki directly in front of Tristan. It added to Tristan's confidence in the bespectacled young man.

That was the reason Tristan gave Nando full permission to look after his sister. The bad thing is, the man left so soon.

🍁🍁🍁

Maura hugged Kauki as she pleased. The girl's face was completely wet from tears. His nose was flushed, sobbing kept coming out of the girl's mouth.

"Patience, Kauki."

"I'm wrong, God, brother? Why does God always take the people I love?" Kauki. "First my parents, hold Nando. Does God hate me? That's why he took one by one the people I love."

"Pst.. Kauki, we can't be prejudiced let alone God. God did all this because he wanted you to be a stronger girl. God loves you, if God hates you, why does God bother to make you into the world?" maura said with her gentle tone. Occasionally wiping away the tears that flowed from Kauki's eyes.

"O Lord, love me, why does he always play with my feelings? He gave me happiness for a while, but soon he took it. What the hell does God want!"

"Yes, God loves to play with our feelings. He gives wounds, but he also heals wounds. Every game is there to find a winner, as well as God. Toying with his servants, so that they could become winners.

You may be disappointed in God, but do not hate Him. God is good, you must believe, God must have put Nando where he should be. So let's just say it to him."

Kauki did not reply, the girl confirmed Maura's words. But Kauki still did not accept that Nando had left her, the girl came back with a bitter cry. Again, he had to lose his loved ones.

From the doorstep, Tristan and Alpha watched with heartache.

"Sister," call Alpha. "I'd like permission to take Kauki to Singapore tomorrow."

"Well?"

"I'm the same Kauki would like to visit Nando at his final resting place."

Tristan nodded. "Sister follow. To say goodbye."

However, Nando already considers Tristan a sister. Anyone who loves Kauki will consider Tristan a brother.

🍁🍁🍁

Tomorrow the four of them leave for Singapore. With Cia and also Thoriq who want to come.

Cia was crying because Nando was always kind to her, to everyone.

Don't you know I'm not good for you?

I've learned to lose you can't afford to..

Kauki stared at the pile of earth with a cross board bearing Nando's name in front of him blankly. His heart now.

Kauki's heart was empty, because the owner had left. Leaving a hollow that stifles the chest.

Unable to prevent the tears again glide free from her beautiful eyes, right about the grave of Nando.

"Nando's.." Kauki called out the name of the man longingly. "I never thought you were gone. But this is not the 'go' I mean. No, Nando."

Kauki took a deep breath, trying to ease her cries.

"You said you wanted to be the perfecter of my life. I want to be the reason I smile, laugh, the reason I'm happy. But you're leaving instead. Now I don't have a reason for that, Nan.

You said you would step with me on the altar later, be my companion. But where? You don't keep it, Nan, you're denying it all."

Kauki covered his face, crying there. He had difficulty breathing, his chest was too tight.

"What do I do now, Nan? What am I supposed to do without you?" Kauki's voice swallowed by the cry.

The rubbing in his hair made Kauki look up, seeing Alpha beside him, smiling faintly.

"Hi, Nando. Finally we meet again, I can see you," said Alpha, then his face changed. "But I'm not happy with your situation right now. You should've stood in front of me, hugged me like a brother."

Alpha glanced at the crying Kauki in silence.

"Lo know, Nando? Lo girl, this Kauki is crying nonstop. Even from six months ago. I don't know how to make her smile, Nan, can you give me advice to let this ugly smile again? Because Elo is the only person who can make her smile."

Alpha speech made Kauki stunned, the girl turned to look at the man with misty eyes.

Realize that all this time there is an Alpha who always try to make him cheerful.

Who cares about him.

Who is always ready shoulder when he needs.

Alpha. Little friend.

Kauki suddenly felt guilty. Ever since Nando, Kauki has always ignored Alpha.

"Kauki, Alpha." The two human children looked at him at the same time.

Laluna and Viral.

"Nando's mom wants to see you, Ki."

🍁🍁🍁

Laluna leads Kauki as she enters Nando's house.

"Tante Anna," Laluna said as she watched the middle-aged woman standing in front of the large-printed photo of Nando.

The woman turned her head and smiled to find two beautiful girls in front of her. His smile widened as he looked at Kauki.

"Kauki," he said, then took the girl to his arms. "How are you, honey?"

Kauki smiled stiffly. "Good, Auntie."

"You're getting pretty."

"Yes yes, Auntie. Kauki was beautiful until Nando's samples were willing to die rather than marry me," joked Laluna bitterly.

"Laluna.." reprimanded Anna gently.

"Kauki, before leaving, Nando has something for you."

"What?"

"So soon, Auntie take it first."

Mama Nando passes leaving behind two girls who once filled her son's heart.

For a moment both were overcome with awkwardness.

Laluna glanced at Kauki then threw a breath. And apparently it caught Kauki's attention.

"Lo why?"

"All of a sudden I took a breath."

Kauki frowned, not understanding.

"Lo know, ever since I knew you, I've had a hard time breathing. I thought it was out of hate, but it turns out, out of guilt."

Kauki was silent, confused as to what to answer.

"I'm sorry, Kauki, because I have to lose Nando. If I wasn't selfish, maybe you (lo and Nando) would still be together. I should not have been among you. I'm a destroyer, I'm a bad person" said Laluna with a bitter smile.

Kauki fell silent, their first impression upon meeting was indeed not good. But Kauki knows Laluna is a good girl. If not, there is no way Nando ever put his heart on this long black haired girl in front of him.

Rubbing onto Laluna's shoulder, Kauki said, "There is nothing to be wrong here. Everything is God's plan. I was selfish too, and when I was selfish I couldn't be good. We're evil when we're selfish, Lun. Everything has happened, I am grateful to see you. Because I can learn to let go."

Laluna was stunned, Nando's pantes desperately defended Kauki, because this girl was as good as Nando. Big-hearted girl, Nando is right, Kauki is a human-shaped angel.

"Thanks, Kauki," said Laluna hugging Kauki who the girl replied.

Now that his heart is plong, there is no more competition, no strife, now Kauki and Laluna are friends.

"Gue came out first yes, nemenin your friends," said Laluna who was embraced by Kauki.

At that moment Nando's mother appeared with a box in hand and an orange cat following her.

The orange cat who did recognize Kauki came straight over and rubbed his head at the girl's feet.

"Eh? I'm familiar apparently," said mama Nando shocked to wriggle the indulgence of Peach on Kauki.

Kauki smiled faintly. "It just so happened that Nando would often take Peach if we walked together again."

"Payments." Mama Nando smiled. "Oh yes, son. Here, Nando nitipin's before he goes."

Kauki looked at the dazed mama Nando then received the medium-sized box.

"Open up, son."

At first hesitated, but Kauki complies. He opened the box, and a letter greeted him.

"That's a letter Nando wrote after he finished doing a liver donor." There was sadness when Nando's mom said it.

Staring at Nando's mother for a moment, Kauki then read the contents of the letter.

For you are the owner of my heart.

I'm sorry I couldn't keep my promise.

Sorry I can't be with you anymore

Sorry for leaving you so soon.

I should have been, by now, officially a husband of people. But I'm grateful it didn't happen.

Because of Kauki, if I can't marry you, then I don't want to marry anyone.

If I can't live with you, then I'd rather die.

Kauki, you should know. Even though I die, my love always lives for you.

My girl, don't shed your tears for me, for whatever reason.

That's enough, too much water flowing from your beautiful eyes. So please, don't cry anymore.

Promise me after this you will only smile, no more crying, no more injuries.

Because you live, to be happy.

Greetings full of love, from me who always loved you.

Nando's.

Kauki's cry broke again, the girl covered her mouth holding back the sobbing. He hugged Peach, and the orange-haired creature replied by rubbing his head against Kauki's cheek.

Mama Nando couldn't help but cry, she hugged Kauki. I feel the same loss.

"Son, Nando may be gone, but his love is eternal for you."

Kauki nodded in between her cries.

"I know, Auntie, I know."

Kauki stared at the large photo on the wall, where Nando smiled sweetly.

"I promise, Nando, I won't cry anymore. You're right, I live, to be happy."

I could lie and say like it like that

Like it like.. That..
