Sorry For A Hope
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
Sick, crying but not bleeding.
Right now, my body feels it.
Stiffness has this body, the mouth feels locked.
Cannot express with words.
It cannot be with body language.
Right now all I feel is broken, sick, because of fictitious hope.
🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀🥀
In front of the door the sturdy hand opened the handle, and walked into the stilt house where to watch over the tea picking workers.
It looks like a woman in a long dress shirt and her pencil jeans are sitting on a chair while staring at the expanse of tea gardens.
The sturdy hand grabbed the shoulder of the owner of the body, until the owner of the body jolted in shock.
A smile rose between the two, then the burly body hugged the tiny body that he longed for so much.
" Mas kangen." Galih
Puspita tightened her embrace, so did Galih.
" I want to ask for an explanation from Mas."
The hug that was close, now Galih loosened it, as well as Puspita.
" Why did you break your promise, why did you let everyone down? "
" I'm sorry, but this heart can't be lied to just you. I can't lie, but I'm sorry, I can't marry you someday. I don't want to hurt you one day."
" Why Mas? "
" I'm sorry, where on your birthday, Mas married a person whom Mas didn't love."
Puspita sat on a chair, with both legs already feeling very limp. His eyes were even a little blurry due to the puddles of tears.
" Why didn't you be honest before if you were a soul mate, why did you give me hope."
" I'm sorry, it just happened."
" I came far - far here just want to ask for clarity, now it is very clear Mas. Thank you, sorry to interrupt Mas' time." Puspita's voice rose from her seat, but the burly hand held her back.
" Where are you going, you just came. Stay overnight."
" Why offer a stay, want to introduce me to the same wife Mas. Want to see the newlyweds' affection. Say no love, but for a long time it will grow too Mas. I was tired, after Mas did not come on that special day, I could not sleep. Look at this dark circle, it's proof that I'm thinking about all this."
" I'm sorry, if I may tell you why this happened."
" No need, it's free. " Puspita grabbed her Bag and walked towards the exit. But Galih's hand immediately pulled Puspita's body to hit his chest, and hugged Puspita's body back.
" Let Mas embrace you once more, allow Mas to inhale the fragrance of your body only once, allow Mas in this farewell we pass only last night."
Puspita's tears fell, and returned Galih's embrace. He knew Puspita returned his embrace, Galih tightened Puspita's embrace.
" Shall we part like this, shall we."
Galih loosened her embrace, and looked at Puspita's face with her two puffy eyes.
" Please, swear by God, my heart is now just like yours."
" I'm sorry, I swear in the marriage bond don't nod. Now Mas belongs to the woman who has become Mas's wife. Me, only the past is present in an instant. I'm just a cotton Mas, which is easily blown off, I'm a cotton mas is the place where the cotton stops."
Puspita walked out to a door , leaving Galih's stilt house, while Galih remained silent and sculpted.
" Thank you, you've changed your appearance by leaving the clothes less material." Shouted Galih from inside his house.
Puspita just smiled without looking at Galih who still looked at Puspita's back away from her.

Puspita's cry broke while in the middle of the tea garden, a sore chest that she had held since yesterday.
Hiks.. hiks...
Hiks.. hiks...
" What should yes My love story ends like this."
Puspita gasped in surprise when she saw a sturdy hand pat her shoulder.
Hiks.. hiks...
" Mas Nugi, this heartache.. "
Hiks. hiks....
" I saw you running here, and Mas also saw Galih looking sad."
" At a time when I was in love and dear, but it turns out he died I'm Mas."
Hiks.. hiks...
" He has a reason for doing this, you have to know what happened."
" It must know which one else Mas, must know because he received his matchmaking. Maybe I don't deserve him in the eyes of his family."
" As long as you know, Galih is very affectionate and in love with you. But her love for you because of a storm must be parted."
" If she loves me and loves me, why doesn't she hold me back and marry her parents' choice, don't let go of me."
" I hope one day you understand, now free Mas story too. We'll find the inn tomorrow morning we'll go home."

" I'm sorry, Puspita, sorry..!!! "
Dika sat on the edge of the bed while covering her face with both her hands. Her heart ached so much, having to part with the person she loved so much.
" I'm sorry for the decision I made."
*****
Puspita sat staring out the window as the train she was riding on was speeding away.
His thoughts still continued to think of Galih, a very short meeting and farewell.
" Mad." Oh."
" Yes." Yeah."
" Puspita ask to take me to Mas Galih's contract first? "
" Well what? "
" It's okay, just take it with you."
" It's good."
*******
" Galuh, is this the black coffee? " A woman brought a cup of coffee and put it on the table.
" I don't like black coffee, I'm not Galuh either.'
" Mad it, since the accident likes weird. From yesterday said no Galuh keep confessing other people's names. We just got married, but Mas was so very cold and never touched Me again, before marriage Mas love to touch Me, even I am now pregnant also Mas Galuh forgot."
" Huh.. pregnant, are you pregnant? "
" Yes, why don't you like it? "
Galih looked at Rena's flat stomach, and looked for the truth in her.
" Our marriage has only been a few days, just touch why not get pregnant? "
" Mas right now his brain has a little problem eating him forget all the time after the accident. But it's okay, I'll try to treat the injury to Mas's head, and to remember all the lost memories."

After arriving at Galih's rented house, Puspita put something under the pillow, with a piece of paper on top of it.
