Bridal Tears

Esmeralda

.

Esmeralda, this 25-year-old woman has it all, and it could be said her life is perfect.

Riches abound, good career, beautiful face and body, harmonious family, very doting friends, well-established and handsome lovers.

Perfect, right? There's nothing more to worry about. His life is assured!

But what would happen if all that perfection was taken for granted, in less than a day, by those he trusted most.

The day that he will carry out his marriage, that is the day that hope, trust and destruction will sink so deep into his life.

At first, the journey of life and love Esmeralda is perfect, even arguably absolutely perfect.

Who would have thought the lover who would marry her betrayed her.

The affair began to unfold, when in a few days she will become the wife of Leomord, who is now the Chairman of Mord Group of one of the big companies in Indonesia.

Apparently, her husband's affair was the closest person to her. And not only did her husband betray her, but her friends and family also helped hide the affair from her.

What decision should he make. Stay married to her? Or go, disappear and forget?

Five years ago.

SMAN Most Popular in South Jakarta, 2014.

That afternoon the weather was so hot. The heat pierced the skin.

Apparently, a woman who was sitting, resting under a big tree, laying her body on the green grass. His face was covered with books.

Her name was Esmeralda.

Students of class XII-A who will soon graduate. Smart girl popular, from among the people. He had a boy friend from childhood, but now his status has changed to his girlfriend.

Seemed from far away. A handsome man wearing a school uniform approached her.

That man is Leomord. Yes, his childhood best friend and current lover.

Leomord and Esmeralda grew up together as children. And, just one month ago they were in love. In fact, Leomord's love statement was expressed a few months ago on the day of affection. At that time, her face was flushed red and so adorable as she expressed love for Esme.

Leomord is handsome, but he's not as popular as his school sweetheart.

"Ime!" The man picked up the book that covered his lover's face. "We ... we graduated. Looky!" He thrust a sheet of graduation paper at her with a joyful face.

Esme took it to check on him. Apparently, he got the highest grade in school and Esmeralda also got a scholarship from his school.

..

One day has passed.

That morning the weather was cloudy and detailed the rain.

Esme who was walking towards the school gate was approached by Leo. He covered Esme's body with an umbrella that he took out of his bag.

Leo willingly, his left shoulder wet with rain water to protect the entire body of his lover.

"Leo! Your clothes are wet" Esme said,

anxious.

"It's okay. I'm not a man" he replied, with a smile on his face.

At that time, the school was free. Just doing some games, the teacher with the students.

Esme pulls Leo's hand, taking him to the edge of the lake behind the school. It's their favorite place.

Esme and Leo sat in the long chair, staring at the lake. Every now and then, Leo throws stones at the lake.

"What if you come with me?" said Esme, who was currently staring at her face from the side.

Leo looked up, looking at him softly. Leo's face looks so relaxed like lake water which also looks calm.

"I can't go. America, out of my reach. You know, my family's economic situation. Not enough money to finance me to go there." Leo took the flower that had just fallen from the tree and stroked Esme's hair, then slipped it between her ears.

"If you don't go, then I won't go either!" threaten Esme, with a smelly face.

"Extreme !" Leo grabbed his face, making their gazes collide. "Don't let go of this golden opportunity. Success ! How long you stay there, I'll be faithful waiting here for you." Leo smiled at him. That smile seemed to imply power over trust in her relationship. Until making Esme's persistence in achieving her goals, back churned in her.

..

The day Esme left for America.

He cried sobbing in front of the entrance of Soekarno-Hatta airport, accompanied by his parents, as well as his brother and sister.

The strength of their love will be tested by distance.

Then, as Esme was queuing up for a check. Suddenly unexpectedly, Leo ran fiercely towards her and directly hugged Esme very tightly.

"Itsme ! Tomorrow, you'll be one step further than me, but no matter how far you go. My heart will be next to yours. Don't be sad. We're just apart, not apart forever." That was the last speech and the last look that Esme felt.

Esme held him, she felt comfort there.

It's hard to step out of Leo. The man he loved so much.

Every moment is always together, and somehow his days later in America, without Leo.

After Esme passed the check, Esme looked back again. Leo, who was still standing there, with a loving gaze moved his hand, implying to him to keep his spirits up.

Leo smiled broadly.

Esme immediately reached into her pocket, took her cell phone. Then he opened the camera, and took a picture of the beautiful smile on his face.

Then, Esme looked lovingly at the photo she had photographed. Hopefully, this photo of his smile can be his encouragement to live life in America.

********

2015

Almost a year has passed Esme without the figure of Leo accompanying her side.

He's almost getting used to it.

To continue to have good communication, Esme could only send a message and call him, telling Leo his daily life in America.

The miss is so hot.

Esme was eager to see his face.

Two days ago, Esme thoughtlessly bought a phone from Sakura Country with a video call feature. But unfortunately, the feature is useless, because Leo there does not have a phone with such features.

Kling .. 🎶

Incoming message from my future priest (my future imam)

Hey, girlfriend ! Is lagit there sunny? How's daily? (Leo)

My daily life, as always. Study and study. It's a snowstorm here! (Reply Esme)

If you come back to Indonesia. Bring me snow. The shape of the snow resembles olaf in the frozen film, yes :D (Let's Leo)

Esme smiled widely, as she shed her tears by staring weakly at the message.

Every time you finish communicating with Leo, Esme must always cry and be alone in a quiet room.

According to him, the more often they communicate, the more the screams of longing that shackles at the bottom of his heart.

********

Some seasons have passed.

Esme was very focused on running her college.

To the point of not being felt, the communication between Leo and himself is shrinking, not as often as last month.

Girlfriend, what are you doing? (Esme sends a message to Leo)

Five minutes have passed. Esme simply focused her gaze towards her phone, while biting her finger with a feeling of hope.

But Leo's reply did not exist.

Are you busy? (Esme sends another message)

Pluks..

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind. Esme was a little surprised, then she looked over.

"Extreme! Are you okay?" ask his college friend.

Esme forced a smile, she answered him with a nod of her head.

His feelings became hollow at that moment.

Then Esme pulled her bag and left her friend.

His friend looked anxiously at him. Esme's back moved away from the man's sight.

Hay, hay, stop by my chat story yeah, it's called 'Joking'.
