Cidro (Between Love And Wounds)

Chapter 52

"Mama is sought after apparently stuck in his room Citra," reprimanded Anne.

Miss Mirna looked over and smiled at the girl.

"There's Mr. Tian in front," Anne said.

"Sir Tian? Why?" ask Citra.

Anne shrugged her shoulders. "Know. Want to bed you, time" replied Anne origin.

The image did not respond to Anne's words. He got up from his seat and walked towards the bathroom.

"Tell me to go home. I don't want to give you a guest." Say the image while closing the bathroom door.

Anne and Miss Mirna exchanged looks. Both were astonished by the attitude of the image. It's not usually that the image behaves like this. Usually he will always meet anyone who looks for him even if it is someone who has hurt him. But now?

"What is Ma's image?" ask Anne.

"Mama doesn't know either. The image does not want to tell the same story Mama," replied Ms. Mirna.

"Udah ah! Mama's going down first. You just wait here" said Miss Mirna at last.

"Yes Ma" replied Anne.

Mirna got up from her seat and walked to the door. The woman then went out to the bottom floor while carrying a tray containing Citra's former dining area.

"Eh there's a guest" said Mirna after putting the tray in the kitchen.

Tian got up from his seat and experienced Bu Mirna. "Assalamu'alaikum Aunt" Tian said.

"Wa'alaikumusalam Nak Tian," replied Ms. Mirna.

"Please sit down, Nak Tian." Miss Mirna invited her guests to sit on the sofa in the living room of her house.

Tian nodded his head. The young man sat down on the sofa and began to express his intentions and purpose in coming to the house.

"Sorry Aunt if my arrival disrupts the rest of Aunt and family" he said.

"Oh no really. Not at all bothering me." Miss Mirna replied with a smile.

"But if I may know what's going on, kid Tian?" ask Miss Mirna.

Tian speechless. He tried to choose a word so as not to offend the Citra family. He also did not want his relationship with Citra increasingly stretched and finally disbanded before being proposed.

"Eh there is a guest apparently," said Mr. Bayu who had just returned from the office.

Hearing Mr. Bayu's voice, Tian slightly jumped in shock.

"Om" he said to Mr. Bayu. He then experienced the father of the image with a smile.

"It's been a while?" ask Mr. Bayu to Tian.

"It's just now, Om," replied Tian.

Mr. Bayu mustard heard Tian's answer. "What image is Ma?" ask the wife.

"Still in Pa's bathroom. But he already knew that Nak Tian was here" replied Ms. Mirna.

The three of them continued their chat while enjoying drinks and small meals served by Bi Lani.

"Whispering really downstairs? Again on what the hell are they talking about?" anne muttered as her ears heard a voice from below.

"She hasn't come back yet?" ask Citra. His tone sounded cold and jutek.

Anne frowned in surprise. Not usually Citra said as cold and as fast as it was to someone.

"It's not like it yet" replied Anne.

The image took a deep breath. "Why don't you go home anyway? Why is it still here?" I don't know who it was.

Anne was again astonished by Citra. It is not usual for the image to behave like this to others.

"You why the hell? You have the same problem, Mr Tian?" asked Anne who did not know what happened between Citra and Tian.

"If you have any more problems, it's best to talk. Don't shy away from gini" said Anne.

The image let out a long breath once again. His mouth is still tightly closed. It was as if there was glue gluing both of his lips together firmly.

"Paits." Anne clasped the fingers of Citra tightly.

"I know you feel the same way Mr. Tian. I know that you secretly like to pay attention to Mr. Tian from afar. And I understand what the body language of a person in love is like" Anne said.

The image is silent. He listened to every word that came out of Anne's mouth and put it into his heart.

"If you have a problem, you better talk about it. Don't think gini. Pity Mr. Tian" said Anne once again.

"If you keep dodging, until whenever you won't know the truth." Anne tried to give her brother advice.

The image seemed silent to Anne's words. The girl seemed to be thinking about and pervading what Anne said.

Meanwhile, due to waiting too long, Tian finally said goodbye to go home.

"Then I go home, Auntie, Om." His pampit while kissing the back of the hands of both Citra parents.

"I'm sorry for the image of Nak Tian. Maybe he is in need of rest and needs to be alone first" said Ms Mirna. The woman felt bad for Tian.

"Later Try to talk to Citra," added Pak Bayu.

"Thank you, Aunt. If that's what I'm sorry. Assalamu'alaikum" he said.

"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Be careful," said Pak Bayu and Bu Mirna almost simultaneously.

After Tian died, Mr. Bayu and Ms. Mirna returned to the house.

"Papa takes a shower, Ma. After that want to chat with Citra," said Mr. Bayu.

"Yes Pa. Poor Tian. He tried to find Citra twice but Citra did not want to talk to Tian" explained Ms. Mirna.

Mr. Bayu looked a little surprised to hear Ms. Mirna's words. The man took a deep breath before continuing his words.

"Yes later let Papa who talks to him not usually he like that" said Mr. Bayu.

Then Mr. Bayu continued his steps towards his room to immediately take a shower and clean up. After finishing, Mr. Bayu immediately went out and met Citra in his room.

"Can you ask me something with you?" asked Mr. Bayu when he was in the Citra room.

"What do you want Pa?" The image behind asked Papa.

"Why don't you want to meet Tian? You guys got a problem?" ask Mr. Bayu directly at the point.

The image took a long breath. He had guessed if that was what his father would ask him.

"There is no Pa. Image only... only.. again do not want to meet Mr. Tian aja," replied Citra.

"Why?" chase Mr. Bayu.

Again and again Citra let out a long sigh. Then glide a story from the mouth of Citra. A story that made him feel something unusual.

"Partra justan do not want to add wounds in the heart of Citra. The image just wants to heal the wounds in the heart," Citra said.

Mr. Bayu listened to the grievances of the child carefully. Not a single bit of the man intended to cut the Citra story.

"You still feel traumatized by your past?" ask Mr. Bayu.

The image fell silent for a moment. Then he said, "yes Pa. Citra still feels afraid to open the heart after what Citra has experienced all this time."

"The image once loved someone but it turned out to be just a lie. Imagery once gave the heart of image to someone. Ever entrust the heart of image to someone. But that guy just destroyed it" he added.

"And now, when Citra had started to be able to accept Mister Tian. Again and again the heart of the image is broken. The heart of Citra was destroyed by him with his sadism."

Citra's eyes began to glaze over as she told her story. The wounds in his heart again throbbed pain as he retold everything.

"If Tian isn't what you think he is?" ask Mr. Bayu.
