Alby
Almost eleven o'clock in the evening I reached Amara's apartment. My feet went straight to the unit.
I pressed the bell many times. There's a chance he's asleep or maybe there's Frans in there.
Shortly after, the door opened. I just walked in when Amara opened the door wide.
"By!", call Amara with her distinctive sound of waking up.
"Where's your fiancee? Is he here?"
Amara shook her head while looking at me with a look of someone who felt guilty.
"By, I can clear. It's not what you think!", She pulled my hand because I was checking every room in the unit.
"Alby!", he yelled at me. I stopped my search too.
"You have the heart!", my index finger held up before Amara's face.
"I can explain By. Please listen to me!"
"What do you want to explain heum? You're forced? That so?"
"Yes, By. But the truth is like that!", he answered.
I threw photos of Amara and Frans' engagement. And most painful to me was...when Amara said*** that bule.
Amara looked at the photos in her hands.
"Where did you get this, By?", asked Amara stammering.
"Of course from your fiancee!", I shouted. Getting angry? Of course I'm angry!
"By..!", Amara will grab my hand, but I'm backing out. I don't want him touching me. Not because of what, but currently his status is fiancee Frans. Even if it's a painful reality for me. If Frans is her fiance, who am I? We have no status.
"By, please listen to me!", said Amara pleading.
"I've hurt you Ra. I know and know it! But that doesn't mean you have to go back like this, does it? When my heart is clearly you? Why Ra?"
"By, not that rich! Where could I do something like that. I still love you, I have not changed! It's just...."
"What only? Just misunderstanding?", I asked again.
"Can you listen to me first, right By? Please!", Amara covers both her hands on her chest. After that, he took me to sit on the sofa. We sat far away.
But after that, Amara sat on the carpet. Composed in front of me who was still breathing because of emotions.
"By! I knew! I realized what I did was wrong! I'm cheap! Let Frans do what he wants. But. Please believe me. I have absolutely no intention of betraying you By!"
I looked in the other direction. How can I be sincere just seeing the girl I love***stranger man!
"By, the engagement was true but not entirely true. This engagement is part of Febri and Dimas' plan."
"Is that kiss also part of their plan?", I stared intently at Amara. I saw clearly as Amara swallowed her saliva.
"Ak..me...! I'm sorry for that! But..."
"Stop Amara's! It's all up to you! I am nobody to you!", I stood up from the sofa.
But Amara grabbed my leg.
"Ngga. You mean so much to my life By!", Amara hugged me from behind.
"But we've received Frans' proposal! And in our religion, it is unlawful to seize the woman who has been in the sermon of Amara!", I tried to strengthen myself.
"But this is the new fiancee. Can cancel at any time because there is no legitimate bond! Or.", slowly Mara let go of her embrace from my back.
"Or...I'm too disgusting in your eyes?", he said softly.
Really, I don't think like that. I turned my body towards him.
Amara looked at me softly.
"Yes? I'm cheap? Disgustful? I see?", asked Amara slowly. But my chest is so claustrophobic hearing it.
"Pbu...!"
"I know I was wrong. I'm sorry!", Amara put both her hands on her chest.
I rubbed my face rough.
"You can ask Dimas and Febri, By! If you don't believe me!"
"Pbu....!"
"Go home! If you have heard their explanation, you can come to me!", said Amara pushing me towards the exit.
"Ra, I mean....!"
"Get out!", snapped Amara with her eyes gleaming with emotion. Am I the one who hurt him now? More????
I wasn't able to say anything until Amara actually pushed me out of her unit.
"Imara!!! Ra!!", while hitting the door of his apartment.
"Ra, I don't mean that Ra. Okay, I'm sorry! Amara! Please, give me a chance to talk Ra!", I said again. But maybe Amara won't hear it.
It's been twelve o'clock at night, I can't possibly wait for Amara here either. I'd better go home, tomorrow I'll look for Dimas and Febri.
