He stared at the phone for a long time, it might have been there about an hour ago and his heart still could not decide. When Jaya expresses her feelings she can only ask for time to think, Jaya gives her the freedom to think.
Even after that statement Jaya can still act as usual as if nothing happened, while she was in the negotiation of various thoughts that made her unable to enjoy the trip.
Hhhhhhhh
Back he exhaled, recalling the events that occurred about eight years ago. When Ardi expressed his feelings, even then his heart was the same as it is today.
There was a happy and sad that made him confused, he said his happy feeling that had been waiting for the statement for a long time. But then he had a sad feeling and he also expressed the reason behind it.
"In my heart, there's another name, there's someone I love but I can't say."
Ardi already knew Ratna would say that because he knew who Ratna meant, his goal is to say that his heart is not in the hope that Ratna will accept him but because he cannot continue to live as a selfish coward.
"I know" he said.
"What?"
"Either since when do I love you, but this love is so selfish that I don't want to see you with anyone else. After a long contemplation I realized that this was not real love, it was just an obsession filled with lust. Even if you accept me for sure I will not give you freedom, because it is. Say your feelings to the person you love" he explained.
"Ardi. "call him slowly.
"Enjoy! I must be supporting you!" he said with a smile.
Thanks to that motivation he had decided to express his feelings, but he was late. Amus ran away and came back only to tell him that his hopes should be destroyed soon.
Now he is back to worrying, should he accept the person who has been present in his life as a girlfriend or stay alive in his own homemade dream.
"He... can he really change?" muttered.
Ratna could not decide, she wanted to call Irma for an opinion but she did not want to interrupt her time. If waiting for Irma to come back is long enough because she left for two days and she does not want to make Jaya wait any longer.
"I have to decide for myself, I must not ask others for help or opinion because this is my life. Though I have long wanted this freedom but now that the time has come I can't even do anything" he complained to himself.
"Hhhuuuuhhhh, well.how about we make a percentage of profit only" he decided.
He took a book and a pen, in which he wrote the advantages of anything that Jaya had. The first of course in terms of financial Jaya need not be doubted, in terms of profession he also has a good status. In terms of physical he already has a tall body and a pretty handsome face, of course he should be proud of it.
The only thing that made Ratna dislike him was his curbing nature, but he promised to fix it.
"Damn! he has a lot of advantages, this way I have no reason to refuse" he said after writing many things.
Ratna straightened her body, took her cell phone and sent a message to Jaya.
"Tomorrow to meet me at three o'clock in front of the mall."
A few minutes later Jaya replied briefly.
"Good"
"Well, after I get home from work I'll see him" he said.
He has decided and resolved on his decision, but the next day all day as long as he works his heart continues to doubt and has time to change his decision. Until his arrival to go home he immediately put on his jacket and took the bag and then went to the mall.
A few minutes later Jaya actually came when her heart was still not ready, when she glanced at the watch and the new time showed at 14:30 which means they came early.
"A fast time you arrive" he said.
"I decided to wait for you, but it was you who came first"
"Oh, I'm home at two. The distance from where I work to here is only ten minutes so I got there faster"
"So apparently, uh you want to see a movie?" ask Jaya.
"Watch?" ratna asked back.
"Yes, there's a movie I want to see. You want to accompany me?"
"Um.. alright" he replied.
They immediately entered, Jaya booked two tickets and did not forget to buy popcorn to complete their event. Seeing so relaxed Jaya he became relieved because then he could say his decision without guilt.
"Is this our second date?" ratna asked while taking the popcorn in Jaya's hand.
"No, this is the third one"
"What?"
"Our first date was our first meeting at this mall" Jaya replied with a smile.
Huh. hahaha.
Ratna could not help but laugh, for her the expression was enough to tickle her heart to lose the burden on her shoulders. The film begins a while later, and Ratna sits back and enjoys it.
"That's a good thing it's not a horror movie so I can enjoy it" Ratna said as they exited the cinema.
"Why? you don't like horror movies?" ask Jaya.
"I don't like all the things that put my heart in danger"
Hahahahahaha
"Where are we going now?" ask Jaya.
"What if we eat? my stomach's already charging"
"Come on!" take Jaya while walking first.
Ratna's choice fell on fried chicken flour, it was her favorite food. Without caring about Jaya who continues to pay attention to her focus on only one goal, namely food, until her mouth was straw because of the sauce.
Jaya could only shake her head to look at her unchanging behavior, with her thumb she wiped the sauce stains on Ratna's mouth. The touch made them look at each other, for a moment Jaya again tempted on the full lips. But he could not have made the same mistake in that crowded place, he just smiled as he said.
"Eat slowly, you can choke later"
"Oh, mm well" replied Ratna as she again wiped her mouth, making sure there were no more stains there.
After the meal they decided to go home, but while in the parking lot Ratna knew she had to tell her decision immediately.
"Where are we going now?" tanyakanya.
"Certainly go home, tomorrow you have to go to work"
"Oh. alright" he replied, suddenly losing his nerve.
During the journey Ratna can only be silent, still think and decide because doubt always comes in the way until they arrive at Ratna's place of boarding.
Ratna got off the motorcycle and stood facing Jaya, looking at her fixedly while Jaya looked at her with a smile.
"I'll go, good night" Jaya said.
"Wait!" sergeant Ratna withdraws Jaya's hand.
"There's something I want to tell you, that's why I asked you to come because I haven't answered your question" he said.
"Thank you for all the fun you've given me. All of that makes me feel alive again, thank you for also expressing your feelings directly I really appreciate it" said Ratna.
"It's millennial, it's a shame if I write you a love letter again" he said.
"You're right, but you like the love letters you wrote for me. The words you chose were so beautiful and so romantic, I read them over and over again"
"E-eh, thank you" said Jaya blushed.
"From that letter I can feel your sincerity, even though when we date your attitude is very annoying. But... I think now you have changed into more mature, therefore, I beg you to remain an understanding person"
"I will try" replied Jaya understood.
"All right, good night! be careful on the road yes" said Ratna.
"Oh, mm okay. But. didn't you say you wanted to answer my question"
"I answered it"
"When? I didn't hear it" Jaya insisted.
"Don't I say I'm still an understanding person?" reply Ratna.
Jaya was silent digesting the sentence that Ratna said, she was really confused what the meaning of the nonspecific speech was.
"Can you replace it with a sentence that's easy to understand?" pinta Jaya's.
"Aish... You're a lawyer, why can't you understand such a simple sentence?" omel Ratna's.
"Don't the engineer's lawyer just not understand what you're saying!" reply Jaya with a louder voice.
"I love you" Ratna said quickly.
"W-what?" jaya asked as if her hearing was problematic.
"I say I love you, because it's still an understanding person because I don't want to fight with you just out of blind jealousy" Ratna explained.
Jaya still stared in disbelief, but slowly she smiled and there were flowers around her that made her happy.
"Really?" ask her just to clarify.
"Today we're going back to dating, I hope that on this second occasion both you and I we both understand and make each other happy"
"Of course, I won't let you down" Jaya replied.
They smiled at each other, making Jaya slowly carried away until she stroked Ratna's hair. His hand now turned to cheek, although it made Ratna nervous and thought different things but she let it go.
"I'll go home now, go into your room and rest" Jaya said.
"Oh well" he replied a little confused because he thought Jaya would kiss him.
Jaya let go of her hand caress and let Ratna go, they had a smile at each other while waving before Ratna actually entered the boarding house.
He quickly took a bath and changed clothes and then lay on the bed in the hope that he would quickly fall asleep, but when he closed his eyes precisely what he saw was Jaya. His heart was pounding again as his cheek again felt the touch of Jaya's hand, for some reason he felt Jaya was so sincere to him.
"Ah... does all men if they are adults really become adults? he's completely changed now, but.. isn't that good? maybe our relationship will work" he murmured.
Unable to sleep, he decided to look at his archives, reading all the things he had written where they were the outpouring of his heart. Ratna picked up the pen, and on the new sheet she began to write, remembering the day her heart had been broken.
"Watching your departure rattles my soul, paralyzes my five senses and weakens the heart. Want me to scream to stop time so that your steps stop, hold you tight for good.I want to curse for the sake of expressing disappointment, there is disappointment, but I know it's all my fault that holds hope when it's never given.
It was I. who just wanted to let you go for God, not another, but you left hope. Here, I who have always been someone else in your heart*now find something that has never been thought of in logic.
As our Lord's written destiny met in ways never imagined, perhaps my heart is still attached to you even forever your name will be imprinted there. But my hand began to break with the time, until I could no longer hold that hope.
Maybe I'm fooling myself, but don't I deserve to be happy? it may not be with the person I love, but it is enough for him to love me truly.
Maybe it's like a compromise, but at least I know myself along with the right person*."
Ratna closed her personal archive in the hope that this was the last time she wrote, because most of what she wrote was about Amus. He wanted to be able to close the story peacefully, with no other debate in his heart.
For some reason but the next day Ratna became a sumringah, all working hours he continued to smile and was so friendly to customers. Of course it makes his friends curious to look suspicious Ica.
"Did you walk with your ex-boyfriend yesterday?" suddenly tanyanya.
"Why are you asking like that?" ask Ratna.
"Dimas said yesterday your ex-boyfriend refused when he was invited to gather, he said there was important business and yesterday you also suddenly asked for exchange"
"Ah...that I did yesterday the road with him" he admitted.
"What's? you two walk? is this some kind of date or something"
"That's... Why should I answer your question? don't waste anyone's life, you better go do your job" hardik Ratna.
"I'm sure something has happened to you guys, how upsetting! though Dimas and I are still in PDKT, remember all this thanks to me! if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have met" said Ica, who couldn't stop nagging.
But Ratna did not care about it, for a while she wanted to hide her dating status first until her heart was ready. But when he came home from work suddenly Jaya was there, right by the side of the road and looked like she was waiting for someone. He quickly ran to her.
"What are you doing here?" tanyanya.
"Finally you came too, there's something I want to give you"
"What?" ratna asked as she occasionally looked around hoping that no one would see her.
Jaya took out a small red box, when it was opened it was a very beautiful necklace jewelry.
"I just got some money from my job, 'cause we just made it so I wanted to give you something as a gift. So I decided to buy this" he said, taking the necklace.
"That's... isn't it excessive?" tanyakanya.
"You need to know that during school days I was not a good man even against women, I often changed partners and hurt a lot of girls. You were the first girl to break my heart and make me think this was karma, since then I have known you more and been amazed at your personality. To a Dollar Girl this is nothing" he replied with a smile.
"Basic!" namel Ratna while hitting Jaya's shoulder but with a smile.
"May I put it on your neck?" tanyakanya.
Ratna nodded, she walked closer to Jaya and let the hand tie the necklace around her neck.
"It looks more beautiful when you wear it" she said staring at the necklace embedded in Ratna's white neck.
"Thank you, I like it"
"All right, then I'll go first. There's work I need to get done, you okay if I don't drive you home?" tanyakanya.
"Mm, of course"
"Well see you, if my job is done, I'll call you" he said before leaving.
With a smile Ratna waved her hand, continuing to stare at the figure of Jaya until lost in his view.
"Ah.. if you like this continue to be able to me who fell in love with you" he said.
