Calista leaned against the wall to support her weak body. Calista wiped away the tears flowing down her cheeks.
When everything she does is so sweet and it makes us fall in love, is it that easy to let her go? The dilemma between hurting one's own feelings or destroying another's relationships is what I'm feeling right now.
Never blame the love that comes to us. Love is never wrong, only love comes at the wrong time. If asked, is it regretful to have fallen in love with him who has had someone next to him? Of course not. Because he wants to see me happy and I want him to be happy. It may sound selfish, but love sometimes has to be selfish.
After feeling a little calm, Calista stepped into the classroom. Calista felt many eyes looking at him suspiciously.
Why do my friends look at me like that. Is there something wrong with my appearance or is there something wrong with my attitude.
Calista goes to class. In class, her friends whispered as she walked in. Calista gave a smile as she sat down.
"Aren't you ashamed of being an actor?" said one of his friends. Calista was shocked to hear his friend's words.
"Is there no guilt for ruining someone else's marriage?" ask another friend. They were chatting together but his eyes were staring at Calista.
Calista realized that his two friends must be insinuating him. Calista took her breath so that she was calm and not carried away by the emotions with the words of her friends.
Calista deliberately diverts the back of his two friends.
Must be Elvan asking them to insinuate me. I can't get carried away, I'll follow your game, Elvan. Who will survive later? You or I will give up.
Two hours in class, feels like hours to Calista. After the lecturer left the class, Calista moved on from his seat.
As he passed through the hallways of the campus, Calista realized that many eyes were watching him.
"Calista," call his best friend Calista Tanti. They are different majors, but still familiar. Tanti and Calista started to get along since they met when they just entered college.
"Would you like to go home?" ask Tanti.
"Why? Want to go to the library, huh?" ask Calista.
"Tau aja's. Let's go to the library for a second. I have something to ask."
"May, who's afraid!" calista.
Calista took Tanti by the hand, but the girl dodged. Calista was astonished. Usually Tanti would hug her arms every time they walked together.
Tanti chose to sit in the back corner of the library. His best friend was sitting in front of Calista. Usually sitting next to him.
"I want to ask you something and I hope you honestly say everything."
"What do you want to know?" ask Calista. He knew surely Tanti would ask for the news that was currently warm. About her who was rumored by the actor.
"What is the true rumor that is circulating at this time, if you are an actor. What's worse is that you took your ex-father, precisely, Elvan's father."
Calista smiled in response to his friend's question or rather his best friend's.
"Where did you hear all this?" ask Calista.
"You don't need to know who is distributing this news. You need to answer yes or no."
"yes," Calista replied as she took her breath.
"So it's not just a rumor, it's true."
"Don't you think before you do this? Are you so frustrated that you're doing all this?"
"Emang why? you ask so. Are you aware of what you're doing, you'll be stamped ugly for the rest of your life. An actor! Don't you know it's all so bad for you."
"I know, and I'm ready to accept the consequences. I love Om Tio, and vice versa. What's wrong with loving each other?"
"Wrong and very wrong, because Om Tio still has a wife."
"But their households are at the tip of the horn. Without me, Om Tio would still be separated from his wife."
"What do people believe? All this time their household seemed fine, until finally you entered their household."
"Do I have to shake off my happiness from hearing people talk. I love Om Tio, I need him and vice versa."
"Sorry, Calista. This time we are in conflict. Did you never think if you were in the position of Elvan's mother. Can you accept that there are other women in your home life. Don't be so selfish Calista. If Om Tio does not love his wife and his household is in trouble, why not get divorced. You can get married after Om Tio gets divorced."
"Me and Om Tio are afraid to do things that are not desirable."
"You dated Elvan for almost two years, have you ever been tempted and seduced when Elvan asked to get in touch. Why can't you stand Om Tio. The divorce process was only 3 or 4 months."
Calista could only look down on hearing all Tanti's words. What his best friend said, there is a point.
"I don't want to get carried away with your problems this time. Besides the problem of the actor, I can still be tolerant and helpful. If it was me, No. You know I'm the son of a victim. My father remarried and left me and my mother. I hate the one called the actor."
Tanti stood up from her seat and walked towards the exit. Calista also rushed out. He was trying to chase his best friend.
"Let's wait, I'm sorry for letting you down" said Calista, holding Tanti's hand so as not to leave her.
"Sorry, Calista. Our friendship only got here. I don't want to be close to you, the trauma of my past is back."
Tanti let go of Calista's handrails. He left Calista who was still standing glued to see the departure of his best friend.
"I'm sorry, Tanti. I must have disappointed you so much. You're my best friend. I'll never forget you" Calista murmured.
Calista walked slowly towards the front of the campus. He continued walking until a voice called his name.
"Calista," call the voice.
"Om Tio" Calista said after seeing the soup calling her.
Calista walked up to Tio's car and got in. He didn't want the rumors to get hotter.
Throughout the journey Calista was silent. Tio looked at his little wife's face carefully. It's not usually Calista just shut up.
Calista still remembered the incident on campus. From Elvan to Tanti, her best friend decided to stay away from her.
