CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

Atala's Story

"What did you see, honey?" Atala asked Vita who was watching two people.

"Sir Atala.... How did I notice from earlier, Friska and Mas Gery very friendly deh." Said Vita.

"Why? Are you jealous of Gery?" Atala God.

"Iiihhh Kak Atala... I'm just loving Brother..." Vita pursed her lips.

Atala held onto Vita's shoulder. The guests who were shaking hands had already begun to shrink. The wedding is limited to 3pm.

"They're a couple, so it's natural that they're friendly." Atala Bisik.

Vita was a little surprised. "really? But since when?" Ask Vita curiously.

Atala smiled and started to tell a story.

FLASHBACKS

Two years ago.

Atala's phone kept ringing. Atala, who was new from the beach and got into her car due to the call of the adhan maghrib, saw many missed calls from Gery.

Atala drove his vehicle. He's looking for the nearest mosque. Shortly Atala parked her car in the parking lot of a mosque.

Atala rushed down and went straight to the toilet to clean up and change her clothes and trousers because they were wet and dirty from the sea sand. After cleaning and changing clothes, Atala immediately to the car put his dirty clothes into the back seat. And rushed into the mosque. Atala went straight to shaf worship.

15 Minutes later.

Atala continued to recite and pray. Ask for help from Allah SWT for his life and better future.

Atala got out of the mosque and headed for her car. Atala took her phone out of the car drawer. There were dozens of missed calls from Gery and several incoming messages.

"Where are you, Dek? Friska is conscious. He's asking you questions."

"Dec... Pick up the phone.... Important."

Atala breathed. He dialed Gery's number.

Soon the call was connected.

"Dec... You where?" Ask Gery from across the street.

"I just finished my Maghrib prayer at the Masjid near the beach." Atala.

"Hurry home. The doctor is waiting for you." Gery Pinta.

"Yes Mas. I'll be home soon." Atala disconnects the phone and immediately drives the car at high speed.

An hour later. Atala's car enters Rafa's yard.

Gery was waiting for him on the porch. Gery rushed to Atala's car which had just been parked.

Atala got out of the car and suddenly Gery hugged her.

"A.. There's a.. What's Mas?" Atala seemed nervous as Gery hugged her with tears.

"Friska is conscious. And he remembers everything." Gery said as he broke his embrace. Gery wiped his own tears.

"Dec... Would you like to release Friska for Mas?" Ask Gery to hope.

Atala was in disbelief. "Will Friska accept Mas Gery?" Ask Atala.

Gery nodded happily. "I've told you everything. Papa Rafa also wants to apologize to you. Friska is actually very sorry for taking you from Vita."

Atala fell silent. He remembered Vita who had avoided him several times. Atala breathed. "Now how is Friska?"

"Still weak. But he's conscious. He's asking you questions." Said Gery.

"Come Deck... You look at Friska. The physician is waiting for you." Said Gery.

Atala nodded and rushed into the house.

Atala went straight to Friska's room. There Atala saw the physician who was still cleaning the blood from Friska's ear.

"Tabib... How's Friska doing?" Ask Atala.

Rafa who had put a face that did not like Atala was immediately pulled in by Siska.

"Remember Mas...! Atala was wrong. Do not have any thoughts about matching Atala with Raisa. I don't want Atala to get hurt again because of your selfishness! I don't want to lose my best friend, Tia!" Threat Siska.

Rafa sighed. He was sitting limply in his room.

"Where are you, son?" Ask the Physician to Atala.

"Is it better now?" Temptation Physician.

Atala nodded. "I hope this nightmare is over soon." Atala was sad.

"Hehehehe...." Physician chuckles. "Patience Nak.... A person's good will be rewarded with kindness, so long as you sincerely live all this." Physician.

Atala nodded even though her heart felt sore considering that her life had been two years less because of it.

"Mirror....." Suddenly Friska called out to him.

"Thank God.... You finally realized, too, son." Physician. Although Friska had awakened and was also shocked because of the story of Gery, Dan Friska again fainted because she saw blood that also did not stop flowing from her ears.

Atala went straight to Friska.

Friska took Atala's hand. "I'm sorry... I've separated you from Vita, your beloved...." Friska said weakly.

Atala nodded. The tears have already dripped.

"You don't cry Atala. I will not die... I still want to live and fix everything..." Canda Friska's.

Atala who cried so laughed at Friska's words.

"You are my best friend. Indeed I love you too. But I shouldn't have ruined your relationship with Vita. Mas Gery has also told all that Gifany is his biological son. He has desecrated me. But He also accidentally got carried away by the atmosphere of I who was drunk heavily." Friska.

"Friska.... Don't continue. I already know everything. Gery told me." Atala.

"Then... Do you hate me?" Ask Friska.

Atala shakes. "I never hated you. I just don't like your Papa's treatment of me." Atala.

"I'm sorry my Papa is Atala... Papa loves me very much..." Friska.

"Do you love Mas Gery?" Ask Atala.

Friska. Atala touched Friska's cheek. Friska. "I really love Gery. But after the doctor sentenced me not to long, I'm staying away from Gery. And for some reason after seeing you and we were friends, I felt like I had a life. I want to be close to you, Atala, for my life...." Friska. "I'm sorry Atala...." Friska started crying.

Atala wiped Friska's tears. "Sstt.... Never mind... What matters is that you think about your health... After that fix your relationship with Mas Gery." Atala.

"Is it true that Gery is your brother?" Ask Friska.

Atala nodded. "Yes... Papa was married to another woman and Mas Gery the son of my Papa's marriage to that woman." Atala.

"Ooohhh...." Friska.

"You take it easy, Friska. Gery loves you very much. I know very well, Mas Gery is very sincere with you...." Atala.

Friska nodded. "Atalas... Hurry up and take care of our farewell. And you should go back to Vita." Pinta Friska's.

Atala looked gloomy. "I don't know... Looks like Vita hates me...." Atala looks sad.

The physician stroked Atala's shoulder. "You haven't tried it yet, son.... He still loves you so much... He's always waiting for you..." Physician.

Atala. "Cruel Physician?!"

The physician nodded. Friska smiling.

"You take it easy Atala. Once I'm healthy and our business is done, I promise I'll help you get Vita back." Friska.

"Thank you Friska..." Atala.

Gery wiped his tears. He approached Friska and Atala. "I'm sorry, Gery, yes Dek. Because of Mas, your life's a mess." Said Gery.

Atala stood up. He approached Gery and hugged her.

"Mas promised to give Vita back to you." Said Gery.

"Mas Gery and Friska don't have to think about me. I'll take care of my farewell with Friska soon. After that, after the iddah Friska period is over, you will get married. I'll prepare my own happiness with Vita." Atala.

"Alright Deck. Once Friska is healthy and all business is done, Mas will help you wave Vita to you." Gery's Promise.

"I'm sorry Papa, Atala...." Suddenly Rafa was already in Friska's room.

Atala approached Rafa. "Yes Om... Not what. Atala also apologized that Atala had never respected Om." Atala.

"I understand your attitude. Om realized, Om had been so selfish with his own desire Om without wanting to know your feelings." Rafa.

"Yes to Om. Most importantly now, Friska was already healthy. And he'll be back with his first love Mas Gery." Atala.

They all smiled happily. Siska shed tears. "Thank you, God... You have opened my husband's heart...."
