CURTAINS OF THE PAST

FALL IN LOVE

“You never understood the meaning of falling in love?  Right now I feel it..”.

Nope, no. I also feel it right now if you keep ignoring me, not listening to my explanation. And just keep hiding in that walled room of disappointment.

Open a little gap for me to enter into the recesses of your heart, there I will tell you about a time when I have not met a woman as beautiful as you. Look, I've never even been this sick before…

“What else have you come here for, Dear Mr Antoni? Is it not enough for you to hurt my brother's feelings? I Thought You were so gallant and wise, that lightly you were willing to accept my brother along with his shortcomings.” Ghali's attitude returned to the same as before towards Toni, fierce and disliking the man.

“Everything was just because of my wrong love at that time Ghali. I really wanted to tell her before she told me what

no-no to your brother, Ghali.” Toni was seen pleading as she clenched her hands that night, in front of the door of a minimalist house inhabited by a pair of brothers.

“False love? What exactly is on your mind, Sir?” Ghali was visibly furious at Toni's explanation.

“Ghali, I know everything is wrong with me. I don't even know what to explain it to you. I was guilty at the time. But right now, my love is not wrong with Iffah. I'm really sincere to him.” Toni's eyes turned red, many times he rubbed his head that seemed to want to break in the face of Ghali's persistence to not allow him to meet with Iffah.

Toni dropped herself in front of Ghali and knelt there.

“I'm sorry, Sir. I was disappointed in my father. You should never expect more from me, because I do not want my brother back injured in this new life.” Ghali

the door of the house and ignore Toni who is still on her knees so that her heart does not melt to see the pain that is depicted on the face of the man who claims to love her brother.

“Ghaliii” Toni back on her feet about to hold the door. But he's late. The door was locked from the inside. “Ghali... Open the door, I beg you.” Pinta Toni while banging on the door of the house many times.

“Iffaaah, open the door. Please, I know you heard it. Iffaaah come out..” The man's tears were no longer able to be contained.  His cries grew longer and longer and in the end not heard at all as lightning and lightning struck each other.

 *****

But Toni's screams continued to be heard from the outside calling her name.

“No, I don't want to let go of hearing his voice. He's a rich man, and I'm just his secretary. I'm not as pretty as Kamelia either, how could she possibly fall in love that easily with me? And he's just a depraved man

who once ruined the woman he loved, is not impossible is not it? If whatever the woman's story is a truth about who Antoni really is.” Iffah scowled to endure the pain her heart felt at that moment.

Toni's call is getting longer and longer sounding, and over time disappeared as heavy rain fell on the roof of his house.

“Has he gone home?.” Whisper Iffah while rising up and sharpening his hearing to the door of his room. “What do I expect? Will he keep trying to convince me and yell out there? Huh, is that right? Who am I?” Iffah spoke by himself. But he doesn't realize his words are the real reality he expected back then from Toni.

Iffah squeezed his left chest with his right hand, the pain so raining from every rhythm created by the raindrops on the part of his heart organs.

He was so upset with his own feelings. He was so sure that at that time Toni considered his feelings trivial that Toni was silent and only persuaded him with a spread.

Iffah threw her body back on her bed and wandered inside her blanket. He tried to close his eyes and fell asleep at a time when he himself did not know when he was beginning to meet his dream.
