Between Asa And Taste

I have to go after you

After a few days, Hiro frowned as he opened a message from Shelin. Share the location that is quite far from its place. Without replying to the message, Hiro immediately went towards where Shelin was.

Already at that location, Hiro looked around. Very thick rural atmosphere. Previously he was not sure if it was the place to go. But a car that used to park in the yard of Shelin's house made him sure.

'I'm outside'

A short message sent by Hiro was also unrequited. In just a few minutes he could see the smile of Shelin.

"I don't think you're going here" said Shelin.

"I'm your friend. Where can I leave you alone" said Hiro.

"Thank you" said Shelin full of haru.

The two sat on a lap under a shady tree. The cool air makes both of them enjoy the breeze that blows.

"I didn't dare accept this reality" Shelin said.

"Who said? You are very brave. I'm sure you can finish everything well. The decisions you make are definitely considered before. And I'm sure you're great" said Hiro.

The first time Hiro felt so full seeing Shelin who was trying hard in the midst of a whack of pain. He convinces and strengthens Shelin if the woman is not alone. I want Hiro to calm Shelin down in his arms.

"I love him so much" said Shelin, with sobs that began to sound real.

"I know that. I-i know. But your heart is too good that you just let it go. I'm sorry that I've been in your life" Hiro said.

Yes, the regret began to feel when Hiro saw Shelin was so tormented by his decision. Had he not come, there would have been no such thing. But that thought was opposed by Shelin. Precisely if Hiro does not exist, then Shelin will be trapped in pain that somehow just revealed. Of course with the growing pain.

"Hiro, do you think that I'm a disgrace?" ask Shelin.

Hiro looked at Shelin. He saw Rian was so sick. What does that question mean?

"Will no man marry me after this news has spread?" ask Shelin again.

Unanswered the first question, Hiro was already faced with a second question that increasingly made his guilt unstoppable.

"I'm sorry, Shelin" said Hiro, looking down and covering his face with both palms.

"Did ya? I'm embarrassing until you don't feel good about asking my questions?" shelin panicked.

"Ah no-no. That's not what I meant" Hiro said.

Hiro was quite surprised by the misunderstanding. He apologized for feeling very guilty, not bad to agree with Shelin's answer.

"I think so," said Shelin sambik sullen.

"Never think like that. You are a good woman. I'm sure they'll understand your situation" Hiro said.

"Maybe yes. But not much. Or even only you know that" said Shelin.

"At least you know you're not alone?" ask Hiro.

Shelin nodded and smiled. True what Hiro said, at this time he still has Hiro. The only person he could tell was all his problems.

"Well, it's pretty, then" said Hiro.

"Don't try to be a crocodile in front of an accomplished hunter. I will not be your victim. Instead I could have finished you off" said Shelin

Hiro laughed off. Shelin could have accused him of being a crocodile even though courtship alone can be counted fingers. If Shelin knew, maybe he would have laughed because he mocked her.

From inside the house, both of Shelin's parents watch over her son with Hiro. His mother was angry and would reprimand Hiro. Because according to him, Hiro is the cause of all this. But his father, Shelin, reminds his wife that Hiro is the only person who can make her son laugh again.

"Where are you going Ma?" ask her father, Shelin.

"To the room," answered Shelin's mother with a ketus.

His father Shelin followed his angry wife and tried to calm her down. Asking to be nice to Hiro, as that was one way that could comfort Shelin.

"Remember Ma, don't make Shelin sad again." Her father, Shelin, reminded her.

"Yes, yes" answered Shelin's mother.

When night fell, they were shocked when Hirp came home. He did not stay as they thought.

"Come home?" ask her father, Shelin.

"But it's dark. The journey from here to Jakarta is not close either. Why doesn't he just stay?" ask her father, Shelin.

"No Pah. He said he was afraid that people would think badly of him staying over" replied Shelin.

Shelin's mother, who doesn't comment on anything, begins to secretly realize that Hiro is a good boy. The proof is he wants to go home even though it's dark. All just because it keeps the good name of Shelin. Had he been a bad man who wanted to destroy Shelin, it would have been impossible to come all the way here and comfort his son. After that go home again even though the distance of Jakarta and Shelin residence is quite far.

For almost two weeks they were isolated from Jakarta. Avoiding the reporters who always hunt down Shelin. Ask the same question to Shelin.

The thing they thought would only destroy Shelin's feelings for continuing to discuss her heartache. Until they decided to stay there. Avoiding the crowded atmosphere of the city and the heat of the news circulating about Shelin.

It was unexpected that Shelin did. This morning he asked his parents to return to Jakarta. Living life as usual. But they refused because they were convinced that the request was not really Shelin wanted.

During those two weeks, Hiro came twice to see Shelin. They thought, is it possible that Hiro changed his mind? Wh-wh-what for? Was it because he wanted Shelin to be dissolved in his wound?

"Ma, Pa, this is a problem I'm making. Then I should be ready to solve this problem. I have to face it, not run like this. We're going home, Ma!" bring Shelin.

The three of them argue back. Eventually, Shelin won. They decided to return to Jakarta tomorrow. It was not sure to settle back either. Depends on the attitude of the later Shelin. If staying in Jakarta would only add to his burden and hurt him again, they would take the first plan. Yes, they will settle there and leave Jakarta for quite a long time.

After finally packing, they returned to Jakarta. Inhaling back a lot of pollution from millions of vehicles going back and forth every day. Wrestled back with the congestion and aridity they had long left behind.

Arriving in front of the house, Hiro was already waiting in front of their house. Shelin smiled happily when she saw Hiro. Hiro finally proved his point. Hiro actually accompanied Shelin as he returned to Jakarta.

"It's been a while?" ask Shelin.

"I was waiting for you here last night" Hiro replied with a smile.

Hiro kisses the hands of both of Shelin's parents alternately even though the welcome of her mother Shelin is less pleasant. No problem, Hiro already understood the reason why his mother Shelin behaved like that.

"Let's go in!" bring Hiro.

"No, thank you. Because I made sure you were okay, now I want to go home." Hiro is ready to leave.

"Where are you going?" ask Shelin.

"Lecture," replied Hiro.

"Don't lie" said Shelin.

"Who's lying?" ask Hiro.

"You left because of Mama's attitude, right?" shelin Tuding.

"Don't be so bad to me. I have absolutely no problem with your mother's attitude. I'm really going to college. This is my schedule" Hiro said.

Hiro showed me his college schedule this afternoon. It was already thirty minutes late. Today Hiro was deliberately taking afternoon lectures because he wanted to wait for Shelin at his home.

Shelin looked at Hiro nanar. The man turned out to be so sincere. He even wanted to do misfortune just to accompany him first.

"I'm sorry, yes" said Shelin, returning Hiro's phone.

"I'm sorry? What's for?" hiro asked as he received the phone and put it in a bag.

"Because of me, you're late for college." Shelin looked at Hiro with a guilty feeling.

"Don't do that. I should be grateful that you've revived my college spirit" Hiro said.

Yes, Shelin was one of the people who made her back excited for college. He must be a scholar so as not to be ashamed when approaching Shelin. Huh huh? Approaching? Ah I don't know. Hiro slowly felt at ease while being close to Shelin.

After leaving the Shelin house, Hiro immediately called Rian. He reported on the situation of Shelin. During this time, Hiro who always informed Rian of every development of Shelin. There is a sense of pleasure when she heard that Shelin has begun to cheer again.

Rian realizes that there is no love in his heart for Shelin. The proof all this time Rian was not jealous when Hiro approached can even be said to be treating the wounds of Shelin's heart.

Maybe all this time the sense stored in Rian's heart was only sympathy for the kindness and sincerity of Shelin alone. No doubt, if Shelin is beautiful, but until now only Riri can melt his heart.

"I have to go after you, Pus. Shelin is happy now. Hiro will take care of him" said Rian.

Rian's current goal had already started to focus. He is ready to pursue back his love that was lost from his grasp. The struggle began with a way to contact Riri. Unfortunately, it was not as easy as he had imagined. Riri was not as open as she had been when she received Rian's presence. Riri did not even answer the call from her.

Rian had contacted Riri five times, but all of them were ignored. He ruffled his black hair. Pulling in his breath. Trying to calm himself. He realized his mistake was very big and it must be difficult for Riri to forgive his mistake. But he was sure if the taste in Riri's heart was still there for him. Although it may not be as big as it used to be, but he is sure Riri still loves him.

"Pus, I know you're not a woman who easily forgets all the good memories. My job right now is to strengthen those memories. I hope slowly your heart opens and I can forgive you. I want us to be like we used to be" Rian murmured.
