Dilemma (Between Friends and Love)
Why should he?
Now I was with Aldo in his car, heading to a place where the woman who had taken Aldo from me was.
I wanted to see what she was like, so Aldo could leave me for her. And this traitor Aldo seemed to feel no guilt at all to me.
"Remember Talia, never say things that could hurt her. And also don't let you say that you are my ex-lover, remember that's fine!"
Hmh! I'll say Aldo, even I'll tell the woman everything. You are a man who does not know yourself!
Eventually the car stopped at a clothing store.
Hold still. Isn't this the Kanaya clothing store my best friend, is the woman who snatched Aldo away from me Kanaya?
Ah, there's no way Kanaya is. Kanaya is my best friend, she's my best friend. There's no way she's the woman, the man's lover. It's possible that she happened to be buying clothes at my best friend Kanaya's store.
"We've arrived, remember what my message is!" Rigorously.
I got out of the car, and I stepped my foot to follow Aldo. In a few seconds, I'll be seeing that woman soon.
Aldo is mine, and he's only mine. No one can take him away from me!
I saw from a distance a woman as if she was picking clothes, and I felt Aldo's steps toward a woman I saw.
And sure enough my guess is, Aldo patted the woman on the shoulder. "Dear." Said Aldo softly.
Then the woman turned around, and….
"Kanaya?" I was surprised to learn that the woman was really Kanaya, my best friend.
I felt my body shaking violently, my eyes were hot and my head was dizzy.
God, what is this ordeal? Why Kanaya?
"Talia?" Kanaya said with a very happy face to meet me.
"Do you know each other?" Aldo asked with a confused face.
"Of course we already know each other, she's Talia my best friend." Kanaya hugged me tightly.
Kanaya held my hand. "Talia, I'm sorry I didn't tell you about coming home. I was gonna give you a surprise."
"Yes, Kanaya. You've succeeded in surprising me." I said with a flat face.
"Talia, your face looks very pale. Are you sick?" Ask with a worried tone.
Yes, I am sick, rather I am hurt!
My lips are stiff, my heart is so bitter. Why should you be Kanaya, my best friend. My heart really hurt, like it was pierced by thousands of knives that hurt all over my chest.
I immediately left without answering any questions from Kanaya, leaving behind Kanaya and Aldo.
Even though Kanaya yelled at me, I just kept going to move my legs without breaking Kanaya's cry.
My heart hurts so much, it hurts so much, it hurts so much. I don't know what other words can describe what my heart hurts now.
This chest felt very tight, I hit my chest several times to relieve the pain that filled my heart. But for nothing, the pain does not go away.
My tears had already flowed profusely, showing how broken my heart was at this moment. Maybe it wouldn't have been this painful if the woman who made Aldo turn away from me was another woman, but this is Kanaya, the person I love so much and whom I consider to be my own brother.
I just kept stepping on this leg, following the path that was going to take me somewhere. For sure I want to keep walking and walking, away from everyone.
A flash of lightning rang out above the sky, before long it rained. Even though my clothes started to get soaked from being hit by the rain that flowed so hard, I kept walking.
The cold started to strike, my body started to shiver in the cold. My head felt very dizzy, my body was very limp, my vision began to blur, and everything around me looked dark.

"How's he doing, Zu?" I heard Grandma's voice in a worried tone.
"It's still unconscious." President Zukril.
Wait a minute, why can I be with grandma and President Zukril. Wasn't I walking down the street and under the rain.
"Lia, how come you're like this, son." I heard Grandma start to sob.
"I found him lying in the street, when I was about to leave for the city." President Zukril.
"Zu, grandma please cancel your intention to go out of town. Now go with Lia, she needs someone by her side."
"I mean grandma?" Ask President Zukril.
"Look at his face, there was a look of sadness there. This is what Grandma is worried about, how sorry you are Lia." Grandma said while stroking my head.
"What happened to him?" Ask President Zukril.
But I didn't hear any answers from Grandma.
I could hear all their talk, but somehow my eyes were reluctant to open first. I felt so comfortable when my hands gently rubbed my hands.
The hand I felt was a burly hand, yet it was so soft when it touched my hand.
"You're exactly why, Talia. I'm really worried about you right now." President Zukril said in a tone of voice that somehow sounded sad.
However, I could only keep quiet while closing my eyes. I felt so tired, that I started to drift into my dreams.

I slowly opened my eyes as I felt my forehead feel cold and wet.
As my eyes began to open perfectly, I saw President Zukril painstakingly compressing my forehead.
"Talia, are you human?" President Zukril said when he realized that I was conscious.
I wanted to answer, but somehow my lips felt stiff. "You don't try to make a move first, yeah. I'll get you a temperature checker for a second." Passed.
President Zukril returned with a small object, then the small object was tucked around my armpit.
I realized that I was wearing a nightgown, and I realized that I was not wearing a veil. Even though I still wear the veil.
I started forcing myself to talk. "Uh." And I can only say that.
What is this, how am I so hard to talk to?
"If you want to talk slowly, Talia. You're okay, don't panic. Just talk slowly."
"A-I'm a-da everywhere?" And finally I can speak even though I sound weak and words are stammering.
"You're in my room, Talia. When I was on business and on my way out of town, I suddenly saw you on the street. At first I didn't know it was you, and I immediately panicked when I saw that you had passed out. I quickly took you to Grandma's house and called the doctor." Evidently.
I just nodded weakly. I don't know, right now I'm not thinking about the things that make me so burdened.
Including thinking of Aldo.
