FIRST AND LAST

108

" don't go again ." Said lirih .

" Rey please don't do this ..." Andin let go of his embrace .

Rey is still silent, still where she stands .

Those eyes were staring at Andin sharply . A second later it started to glaze over and tears drenched its cheeks .

This was the second time he had seen the man he had known long enough to cry in front of him, after the first time during the separation of his parents .

The always indifferent figure now looks so fragile .

Slowly Andin approached , wiping away the tears with both of his hands .

" why did you become like this ?" Ask slowly .

Rey just shook her head .

" this has become your decision, right ..why now should you give up ?"

" i can't love Agnes .." she said slowly .

" it can be .. if you want to open your heart .."

This time Rey looked at him .

" if indeed you are destined to be together, surely one day the love will grow by itself . "

" what if we were meant to be together ?" Ask Rey .

This time it was silent .

" why not answer ?"

" it's Rey ..there's never anything between us .."

" but for me ..always there's nothing between us ..."

Andin took a deep breath .

" are you sure ..never had that feeling ?" Ask Rey again .

Andin is silent .

" if you never had that feeling, I'd be gone from your life forever ."

Andin was a little surprised by his words .

They were silent and looked only at each other . Long enough .

All this time he may deny his own feelings for the man in front of him .

But now ..he must make sure the feeling is completely gone from his heart because there is another heart to be guarded .

Agnes .

" there is no Rey ..."

Only that was able to come out of his lips .

Tears flow without being able to contain it again .

Now ..maybe the last time for both of them .This is the best thing for everyone .

And it turns out it was so painful to say .

" okay ..I promise I won't disturb your life again ." He said firmly .

They are still in the same position .

Rey's gaze grew sharper , it felt like piercing her heart , it made her afraid .

Rey is getting closer ', making her heart beat fast .

Slowly Rey raised her hand and wiped away the tears on her cheek .

All of that could not stop her crying . His feelings are mixed now .

They are hardly distant now .

Until the moment their lips meet and that's when they can feel a love that may never be spoken between the two .

Long enough ...

Until Rey releases 'em, like something's missing also from her heart .

Rey looked at him for a while, then walked out of the house .

--------------------------------------

I don't know how many hours , he was driving a car not clear the direction of destination .

After Andin's house, he just followed the speed of the car to take him anywhere .

Now it's all really over .

Maybe it is his destiny to be with Agnes, as Andin said earlier .

There is no longer a way to be able to maintain the love that has been maintained so far .

The first new love he felt and wanted also to be the last for him .

There is always a barrier between them .

What he felt now was not the destiny of his life..

Watch the clock in the hand .

At 09:00

He turned home, whatever it was must be faced now .

10 Minutes later, he's on the home page .

A car parked there .

He sighed softly, when he knew who was coming .

His new life will start now .

Removing Andin's shadow from his life, though he wasn't sure it would be lost in his heart .

After parking his car, he got out and walked in the house .

Everyone was already sitting in the living room when he came .

" Rey, you're home ?" Ask Gunawan .

Rey just nodded , then walked over to him .

" you're not papa, are you ?" Ask Agnes worried .

Rey smiled and sat on an empty sofa .

" Rey .." Call Nisa who's sitting next to Agnes ." Aunty talked to your Papa ..."

" what's the talk ?" Ask Rey .

" your marriage will be quickened by the end of this month ."

Rey looked at him in shock .

" only for marriage certificate only , if the reception remains according to the date we have agreed before ..tante only want your status official first ..that's it .."

Rey took a deep breath and leaned her back on the sofa .

" but it's up to .. papa just follow the decision you make ." Gunawan menimpali .

Vienna did not make a sound just staring at him .

" yes I agree .." said Rey surely .

All eyes stared in shock at him .
