Behind All Changes
Chapter 13
"Then please get me my bag" said Lidya.
"Alright, wait here first," said Kelvin who passed to go take Lidya's goods in Kelvin's study room.
Lidya who already had the energy, stood up from her seat while pushing the place of her infusion bag. Lidya sat by the window while staring out.
Look at the sun that is still in its place.
The sun is meant to shine on the world. But why can't the sun shine on my dark life. I want to be like I used to be, to be the cheerful Lidya girl. But I still can't, I want the person who was the reason your attitude changed to come and say "Lidya it's me Kelvin Dirga, your lover. For my sake please change your attitude to the way you used to be,".
Lidya hopes in her heart.
Kelvin if you're alive, please let me know. I'm still here waiting for you. Please don't keep me waiting. I'm just a normal human being who will get tired and choose to retreat. But until this heart survives, I will also survive for you.
Lidya spoke again in her heart.
Kelvin please come and wipe away my tears,
Said Lidya in a heart that did not want to wipe away her tears.
On the other hand,
Kelvin was staring at Lidya who was focused on looking out. Kelvin looked at Lidya who was shedding tears. Making Kelvin's heart ache, seeing the girl he loved being sad.
Kelvin slowly approached and wiped away Lidya's tears.
"Please don't cry" said Kelvin.
I want Kelvin to wipe my tears. Are you really Kelvin mine?
Lidya asked in her heart.
"Why are you crying? I'm sorry if I impose my will on you too much" Kelvin said.
Suddenly Lidya hugged Kelvin tightly.
"Who are you really?" Tanya Lidya in Kelvin's arms.
"I'm Kelvin" Kelvin replied.
"Which kelvin? The Kelvin I know or the foreign Kelvin?" Ask Lidya.
"We just met a few days ago. But I'm no stranger, I'm your future husband" Kelvin gave Lidya an unsatisfactory answer.
If he was Kelvin, he'd understand what I mean. But he doesn't understand, is he not Kelvin, mine?
Lidya is back.
Lidya let go of her embrace and wiped away her tears.
"I'm sorry, for my stupidity" said Lidya.
"Yes," Kelvin replied.
"Can I ask you something?" Ask Lidya.
"Please" replied Kelvin.
"Have you ever been in love before?" Ask Lidya.
"Fell in love? I've felt it twice to the same person" Kelvin replied.
Lidya frowned showing she did not understand what Kelvin meant.
"Yes, I've loved someone in the past. And that person of my past now makes me fall in love for the second time with him" Kelvin said.
Lidya nodded in understanding.
Lidya glanced at the clock showing 17:20.
"Oh yeah, where's my bag?" Ask Lidya.
Kelvin handed Lidya a brown backpack.
Lidya picked up her bag and immediately looked for something. Debit card.
"What's that for?" Ask Kelvin.
"It's afternoon now. And I have to take a shower. So I will buy a change of clothes" Lidya replied.
"Just use my money" said Kelvin.
"I have my own money" said Lidya.
"Now I'm still not engaged to you. That means you can't set me up yet. And while I'm still capable, I don't want to burden anyone" Lidya said.
"All right," Kelvin replied.
"Let me buy your clothes" said Kelvin.
"No need, just ask your housekeeper. You will be embarrassed later if you buy women's clothes," said Lidya.
"Yes, sir" said Bi Tuti.
"You told Bi Tuti what you wanted to buy" Kelvin said.
"Please come out, after Bi Tuti and I finish talking you can come in" said Lidya told Kelvin to come out.
"Alright, Miss" said Kelvin who passed away.
Lidya told Bi Tuti to buy a hoodie and baggy pants as well as underwear for her. Not forgetting Lidya said what the size of her clothes were.
"That's it, Non" asked Bi Tuti.
Lidya nodded.
"Alright, Non. I go out first yes," said Bi Tuti who passed away.
After Bi Tuti left, Lidya saw no sign of Kelvin coming.
Lidya who was still by the window closed her eyes for a moment. Waiting for Bi Tuti to come.

Lidya rubbed her eyes while covering her evaporating mouth.
"How's he sleeping, good?" Kelvin asked who was sitting next to Lidya.
Lidya looked at the clock that had shown at 18:05.
"Where are my clothes?" Ask Lidya.
Kelvin handed over a paper bag that was received by Lidya.
"Thank you," said Lidya while receiving the paper bag.
"Can I remove this infusion needle?" Ask Lidya.
Because if Lidya later releases the needle without asking Kelvin, Lidya is sure Kelvin will scold him.
"Just let go, the infusion fluid is over" Kelvin replied.
Lidya pulled out the needle in her hand quickly. He did not even grimace in pain while doing so.
"illness?" Ask Kelvin.
Lidya.
Lidya walked towards the closet and picked up a white towel.
"You should also clean up" Lidya said before entering the bathroom.
Lidya took out a shirt from the paper bag. He looked at the strange clothes in the paper bag.
This is pajamas. I asked for a hoodie and baggy pants. Why even be pajamas, though,
Lidya spoke inwardly while watching those blue pajamas.
Yes, it's important I have a change of clothes.
Lidya said back in her heart.
Lidya began the ritual bath, it did not take long Lidya had finished bathing and wearing complete clothes. Then Lidya came out of the bathroom.
Lidya took her bag and pulled out her cell phone. Lidya put her backpack on her shoulder. Lidya orders an online motorcycle taxi to take her home.
After that Lidya came out from inside the room towards the exit.
"Where are you going?" Kelvin asked who was walking down the stairs.
Lidya takes her eyes off the phone looking at Kelvin.
Lidya again scrunched her forehead when she saw the clothes Kelvin was wearing.
Lidya watched her pajamas and Kelvin pajamas.
"Kok, same?" Ask Lidya.
"I deliberately bought the same pajamas, let's couple," Kelvin replied.
Lidya snorted at Kelvin's reply. Lidya again continued her steps towards the door.
"Lidya, where are you going?" Kelvin repeated his question earlier.
"Go home" replied Lidya.
"Let me drop off" said Kelvin.
"No need, I've booked an ojek online earlier," declined Lidya.
"The air is very cold outside. And not good for your health. Please think about your health before doing anything that might be dangerous," Kelvin rebuked Lidya who was prone to being indifferent to her health.
