Chasing a Matchmaker

6. What a sweet farewell

"Mba Cel" Sasa's call dawned on me that they were still waiting for me. "We first go back, mba Celia same as Vishnu aja first" said Sasa again while wiping my hand. Celia looked at her other friends as if asking for directions. Sasa, Aldo, Diana and Dicky nodded. Celia sighed and nodded as well.

"Okay, I'm back with Vishnu yes, we go tomorrow aja gapapa huh?" said Celia. "Ready mba" replied Aldo followed by the others. "Mas Vishnu we first yes" said Dicky to Vishnu who was still silent to see the interaction of Celia and others. "You got an event?" ask Vishnu. "I'm bothering you or coming with you" he asked again.

"Why mas, just want to eat together before" Diana helped explain. "First yes mba Cel, hati2 ya mba" said Aldo. Then they walked towards the parking lot leaving Celia and Vishnu who were still silent.

"Yuk yank" said Vishnu while holding Celia's hand. Celia held Vishnu's hand back and they came out of the office building to the place where Celia's car was parked. Celia took the car keys and handed them to Vishnu. Vishnu takes it and opens the car door for Celia and then turns to the steering wheel.

"Ayank want to eat first?" ask Vishnu. "I'm not hungry yet, but if you want to eat I'll be with you" Celia replied. Vishnu was speechless as he looked at Celia who was looking at the outer window. "We talk in the apartment, if we are hungry, we order from there, how?" ask Vishnu. "Yes may" replied Celia briefly.

Vishnu also drove a car towards his apartment. Meanwhile Celia was speechless with thoughts raging in her head. He did not expect that Vishnu would come to see him so soon. He thought there would be a few days for him to calm down after his decision this morning. But it turns out Vishnu has moved quickly by coming to him.

"Yank" called Vishnu while pulling Celia's hand and grasping it. That is something that Vishnu always does when driving. He held Celia's hand every time they went together. This was what made Celia feel heavy to take it off. Vishnu always treated her with special. Celia also looked. "Yes" he answered briefly. Vishnu simply kissed Celia's hand long without saying a word.

30 Minutes by Celia and Vishnu in silence. They are busy with their own thoughts. They arrived at the apartment of Vishnu and Vishnu parked Celia's car in the apartment parking lot. "I called Mama first, said I came home late" Celia said.

"Hello Ma's..

"Yes Cel"

"Celia came home a little night, ma, there Vishnu came to Jakarta, so Celia wants to go first"

"Duh, his sunken seneng"

"Yes already heart2 yes Cel, greetings to Vishnu, later Vishnu to the house right?"

"Let's see, ma, I'm afraid he's busy"

"Ok. hati2 yes son"

Celia turns off her phone and they walk hand in hand towards Vishnu's apartment unit. Arriving at the top, Vishnu also opened the door of his apartment. The apartment looked neat and clean because Vishnu's parents always told people to clean the apartment.

Celia then went inside and closed the door. After that he leaned on the door of the apartment while looking at Vishnu who was also staring at him. Without a word, the couple then hugged and they cried together.

The sorrowful cries of Celia and Vishnu sounded so heartbreaking, even the clothes they were wearing were already soaked by the tears of their sorrow. Until finally Vishnu broke his embrace and looked into Celia's eyes and then put their eyebrows together.

"Don't stay with me yank, I can't without you" Vishnu said. Celia was only silent and did not answer the request of Vishnu. They sat on the sofa there holding hands. Celia was still sobbing while wiping away the tears that kept flowing down her cheeks.

"You shouldn't have come here, you just complicate our situation, this morning I was strong when making this decision, but now I am like this" Celia said as she looked at Vishnu. "You know we have to end this for our future, for our families as well" he continued. "I've told you that I will never force you to give up, and I will never be able to do that" Celia explained again. "So I beg you to please take care of me and our relationship" Celia said again and ended with a cry that was so heartbreaking to anyone who heard it. The cry of a girl who must give up her love because there is another love higher position in her heart.

Vishnu was silent, he knew what Celia explained was the harsh reality he had to face. If he knew this was the end, maybe he would never want to have a relationship with Celia. A relationship that is beautiful but has to end.

Vishnu only fell silent, refuting Celia's words would only add to the wounds in their hearts. He resigned, but if he had to separate, he would make this a sweet farewell.
