..."Never promise, if in the end you deny it"...
...Diandra Latasha...
...•••••••••••...
"S - actually I left because I have leukemia No," Ella replied in a soft voice.
"Ma - you mean?"
"I left you because I tested positive for leukemia No. I had to leave you because I thought my life would not be long, I did not want to make you disappointed and sad, so I decided to make you hate me and forget me. Ta - but .. hiks .. I can't forget you No, I love you too much. Every day I always hope to meet you, but fate does not bring us together, until I give up. But ... I saw you with another woman, you were married. I was hit, but it's not natural that you leave me. I'm sorry about you No ...." Ella explained while crying so hard. Whether the woman was honest or not, but Alden was very sure if Ella would not be able to lie, he knew the woman.
Alden was silent to Ella's words. So, all this time the girl left him for having a deadly disease? When Alden felt guilty, he really felt like a man bre**sek who would betray the lover, and worse, he had hated Ella. The woman was going through a difficult time, and she was not there beside the woman. Alden was truly sorry to have betrayed and married another woman. But is he really sorry?
Uh! Alden was immediately worried, confused by his own feelings. Honestly, he loved his wife very much, but hearing the reason the ex-lover who said the real reason made Alden worried. His heart was divided into two, no matter whose name was more enthroned? Alden himself did not know.
"Have you healed?" ask Alden worried.
"No, not yet" said Ella.
"You mean?"
"You know for yourself if I don't have money for treatment. So, I just take the medicine" Ella replied.
"Ka - what stage are you at?" asked Alden a little stammering.
"Stadium three," Ella said again.
"Why don't you tell me the same! I'm your lover! If you say it from the beginning, I might help you with your medical expenses!" Alden unconsciously snapped at Ella.
"Sorry .. a - I just don't want to trouble you." Ella could only duck as Alden snapped at her.
"I'm sorry .. I accidentally yelled at you El, I just felt like a bre**sek man who actually married another woman when my lover actually had a difficult time." Alden immediately took the woman into his arms.
Ella did not mind, she actually felt comfortable in Alden's arms. Inhaling the scent of the man's body that used to be his candle.
'I hope I won't fall back in love with you No'
"You've always been like this El. You always don't want to trouble others. I am your lover. Why didn't you say it a long time ago so I could help you?" Unknowingly Alden's tears fell overshadowing his lover's difficult times. While he? He was happy with another woman.
"Sorry ...." That's all Ella can say.
"It's okay, I forgive you. Here I am the wrong one. I'm sorry." Alden pushed Ella a little so that the hug came off. He wiped away the tears that flowed from Ella's eyes.
"Do you go to the hospital often?" ask Alden.
"No, I don't have that kind of money for treatment" Ella replied.
"Why? You should have gone to El's hospital." Alden was a little dislike when he heard that Ella rarely went to the hospital.
"You know yourself No, if the money I get is just enough to eat everyday." Ella just looked down.
As Alden fell silent, what Ella said had a point. Alden knew what the economic situation was. Ella is an orphan girl. His parents had abandoned him since he was a child.
"From now on you have to go to the hospital! I'll pay for your treatment!" alden said firmly.
"But ...."
"No but-but El! You have to go to the hospital!" Alden did not accept the rejection.
"But ... do you want to accompany me?" ella asked in a soft voice, afraid that Alden would not.
"Sure!" Alden answered without thinking.
"Well, I'm going home, okay?" Ella then got up.
"Who are you going home with?" ask Alden.
"Hem, I don't know, I don't know. I'm alone on this beach, just to remember our memories because I can't go far, so I just assumed it's the beach we both used to be." Ella smiled.
Alden smiled at Ella's reasons for coming to the beach, and Alden grew more and more to see Ella's sweet smile, a smile that made her opiate.
"Well, I'm anterin, okay?" alden said as he got up from his seat.
"Not per -"
"Dan-shh!" Ella held her head as if it were a headache.
"Why you?" ask Alden worried.
"It's okay No, just a little headache." Ella assured with a faint smile.
"What's okay? Your man is sick!" Alden became upset himself.
"Yes, I'm anterin you go home, there is no rejection!" said Alden with great emphasis.
"Then ...your wife, how?"
Alden was silent for a moment. He even forgot about the whereabouts of his wife who must have been waiting by the beach. "Just for a second, okay. So it's okay."
Finally Alden took Ella to his girlfriend's house. Ah but, is Ella still arguably her lover? I don't know, Alden's a little confused who Ella is for him now, a lover or an ex-lover?
While on the way, Alden's phone rang. It was Rara who called. Alden hesitated to press the green button. Before he raised the call, he had inhaled as much oxygen.
"Hello, honey?" greet Alden with sweetness.
Ella who was beside Alden could only bow, not because she was jealous, but because she felt sorry for the woman her husband had left behind.
"Peepper stone, what? How long!" rara shouted from across there.
"Sorry baby. I think there's some business."
"Rushan? What business?" search Rara.
"Job, baby. Bryan called Mas, said Mas had to sign the paperwork for tomorrow."
Rara snorted annoyedly hearing that. What the fuck is her husband suddenly taking care of his work and leaving his wife alone on this beach.
"Darling?" call Alden. He knew his wife was angry at the moment.
"What?" look at Rara from across there.
"You wait for me, huh? I'm just gonna take a minute, all right! I promise it won't be long. It's okay, right?"
"He'em."
With a heavy heart Rara assented. Especially her husband promised. So, Rara thought her husband wouldn't lie because Alden wasn't the type to break a promise.
"Oh, you're good at lying, aren't you?" kekeh Ella with force.
'Whoever you are, I'm sorry.'
Alden did not answer, but the man remained silent. Focus on the road ahead of him.
********
Rara had waited long enough for her husband, but there was still no sign of her husband returning.
Rara devoured her lunch food very greedily. At first she did not want to eat, she intended to wait for her husband, because she wanted to eat together. But what the fuck is this? The man even abandoned him just because of work! It seems like her husband has no brain!
"What is the importance of penggajjaan he to forget his own wife," grumbled Rara while eating his provisions very greedily.
"Thus .. uhuk .. uhuk!" Rara chokes from eating too greedily.
Drink up! Yeah, he needs a drink!
Rara ransacked her bag but found no water. He forgot to put water in for them. While he was in need of a drink, suddenly someone gave a bottle of mineral water to Rara. Rara quickly sipped the mineral water without seeing who it belonged to.
"Thank you, I'll change it later" Rara said as she wiped her mouth.
"No need."
Rara raised her head, looking at the man who had just thrust a bottle of mineral water at her.
"Kenzo?" Rara was a little surprised when she found out that the person who gave her a bottle of mineral water was Kenzo.
"Hi, Diandra." Kenzo smiled sweetly, then sat down next to Rara without asking Rara for permission first.
Kenzo slightly glanced at Rara's enlarged belly. Rara was certainly a little surprised, she just remembered that Kenzo did not know if he was married.
Rara holds her belly while looking down, afraid that Kenzo will spread the news of her pregnancy to the college boy. But, however, Rara could not hide her big belly.
Kenzo chuckles at Rara's behavior. "Lo calm down, I already know, if you are actually married to Mr. Alden." Kenzo said while chuckling.
"Sorry ...."
"Sorry why?" Kenzo furrowed his brows, confused by the girl's intent, ah! It means the woman in front of him.
"I'm sorry for lying to you at the time, and I'm sorry for slapping you at the time." Rara felt a little guilty because her husband slapped Kenzo in the face.
"It's okay, relax, it's only natural that Mr. Alden is angry that his wife is in the grasp of another man. So, I should have apologized." Kenzo spoke while chuckling lightly.
'Cih .. unfortunately you're too late Diandra.'
"Who's the same here? Ah sorry! Can I sit here?"
"Sure! Be seated! I'm here with Mas Alden" replied Rara with a faint smile.
Kenzo just nodded in understanding. After that there was no more chatter between them. Both of them were silent, until the sun began to return to its contest, the sky that had been blue, had now turned to infinity.
Rara still faithfully awaits the arrival of her husband, and Kenzo still faithfully accompanies Rara. Although the two are just talking to each other.
"It's late in the afternoon, you don't want to go home?" asked Kenzo in a soft voice.
Rara just shook her head at the sign of no. Rara refuses to go home now out of fear that her husband will return, and finds himself missing.
"Where did your husband go?" kenzo asked, pretending he didn't know.
"She said she had a sudden job" answered Rara honestly.
"And he left you alone?" Kenzo put on a face of disbelief. "How could he leave you just because of work?" Kenzo begins the action, which makes the pregnant woman doubt her husband.
"Don't interfere in my household affairs," Rara replied in a flat voice.
Seeing the flat voice of Rara made Kenzo smile on her side without Rara's knowledge.
"Lo's home, huh? I'll take you."
"No!" answer Rara briefly.
"But it's late afternoon! Not good for you and the baby in your womb!" Kenzo resolute.
Rara looked at Kenzo with a sad look.
"Gue knows. But ...."
"But what?" ask Kenzo impatiently.
"Can you wait a little while longer? I'm afraid, if Mas Alden came here to pick me up, but I'm home" explained Rara. Rara was still puffed if her husband would definitely pick her up. She was sure that her husband would not leave her alone here! Especially her husband promised.
Kenzo just kept quiet, he made no comment. He actually knew that Alden wasn't coming back. Because the man went with his lover, Raya. Uh! Is Raya worthy of being called Alden's lover? Maybe soon ha-ha-ha.
Suddenly the baby in Rara's womb kicked back. Rara smiled, then her hands started stroking her stomach.
"Dedek-dedek kanget same daddy, huh? Patience yes, daddy again work, make later buy mam for dedek-dedek." Rara smiled.
Kenzo who saw Rara's stomach kicked from the inside by the babies in Rara's womb, so wanted to try to feel it.
"Can I hold your stomach? I was just wondering how it felt." Kenzo asked carefully.
"Of course!" rara smiled.
Kenzo then put his hand to Rara's stomach, then rubbed it. He felt that the babies were kicking.
"W - wow ...." Kenzo was absolutely amazed. This was the first time he held a pregnant woman's stomach, and it was incredible!
"It's amazing, right?" ask Rara.
Kenzo nodded in spirit, it felt really amazing.
Kenzo again persuades Rara to return home as it is getting dark. Rara initially refuses, but out of pity with her children, Rara finally agrees. Given that it was getting dark, and the wind was getting colder, it was not good for her and the babies inside her stomach.
'And in the end, you reneged on your promise.'
