Fragrant For Galih

Ep. 49 Last Letters From The Ex #2

"Read me..." Pinta Wita's.

"The last letter of the Light? What's it about? I suddenly felt this kind of trembling, I hope it doesn't go the way I think." I murmured in my heart.

I opened it with a slightly shaking hand.

My great Dear Galih...

How are you, baby? Do you know if I miss you every day, does that apply to you? I hope so. Subterfuge... I'm glad you've been able to realize your ideals. Frankly I was a little sad and anxious when you went to do your country's duty, but I am at once proud that you can stand up great for our country's defense. I know one day you'll come home even though people aren't sure about it. Subterfuge... You know if I always wanted to see you happy? So no matter what happens to me or to our relationship, don't blame yourself. Subterfuge... If you have time to read this letter from me, it means that I am no longer in this world. Long before you proposed to me, I was diagnosed by a doctor with stage three liver disease. No one knows this, except me and the doctor, not even my mother and Wita. I'm sorry, because I didn't tell you this. I don't want the people I love to worry about me. For me the memories of both of us have meant so much and I am so happy with you Galih, even if for a moment I have no regrets. It's just that I was worried after my departure that you felt sad and blamed yourself, because I knew you were that kind of person. I beg you never to feel that way. After my departure I hope you will find someone who is able to make you happy because I always want to see you happy even if not with me. Whoever he takes care of him is like you took care of me first. Goodbye my great Galih, take good care of yourself and never get hurt again.

Who always loved you... Radiance.

Without realizing it, my tears just fell. I can't figure out why Sinar never showed me his pain because he always showed me his calm smile. He was really good at hiding his pain nicely, even foolishly I didn't realize that.

"Mas... I know how Mas Galih feels now after reading the letter from mbak Sinar, because I also feel it. I felt stupid for never realizing the pain for that long." Said Wita with a look of sadness, her tears also fell.

"But Wit, your father and mother never told me about this letter. All I know is that Sinar died from so much stress that he had a problem with his liver. And it's all because he thinks of me who hasn't heard from." I'm the one who demands an explanation on this.

"About that I represent my father and mother to apologize to Galih. This is one of the reasons why I would like to meet and talk with Mas Galih. This letter I just found in the drawer room mbak Sinar when I was cleaning his room one month ago. And I also found out the results of a medical examination mbak Sinar along with his letter. The date of the test mentioned two years before the scheduled departure of Galih mas duty to Papua." She told me, and it really surprised me.

"Have he hidden his illness on us all that time?" I said I don't believe it.

"Yes and unfortunately it was Sinar's own choice." I believe in Wita's words, because even though it looks calm Sinar is a stubborn woman.

We were silent for a moment until our order came but we ignored it altogether. I was still staring at the letter of Sinar who was still in my grasp with a slightly disappointed eye, but I realized what use this disappointment was if the choice was the will of Sinar himself. Wita's voice resuscitated my mind everywhere.

"Mas Galih, I am sorry for being disappointed with the mas and I also apologize on behalf of Sinar, maybe accidentally mbak Sinar has hurt the heart of Galih mas. And as mbak Sinar said in his letter, mas Galih should never feel guilty and from now on mas Galih can achieve happiness in their own. Find someone who can make Galih happy. That's the last request from Sinar mas..." Wita's words sounded like the answer to all the worries in my heart all along. The feeling in my heart seemed to slowly disappear. I'm sure Sinar is now happy in his new place without feeling any more pain that he has been feeling himself. And I will always remember Sinar as some of the most beautiful memories of my life. Rays... Now I'm really letting you go.

"With... From now on I really let go of Sinar and hope he will always be happy on the side of his creator." I said sincerely and sincerely.

...****************...

Back in the moment, Galih was still lying on his bed, daydreaming about the events of the past few days which drained his mind quite a bit. Because his heart was already answered, now Galih began to be able to smile warmly like before. He took out the letter Sinar got from Wita yesterday and pulled out a match lighter from his bed drawer.

"Sorry Sinar... I can't keep anything from you anymore, now I have a heart to take care of. I'm sure you'll understand, we have enough memories to keep in my heart." After saying those words Galih immediately turned on his match lighter and burned the letter from the Rays.

"Sometimes I think that the start of my accidental encounter to my matchmaking with Fragrance that surprised us was a God-ordered path. Or maybe it's one of my do'a rays? I don't know... For sure for now I am grateful to have been met by Wangi, someone who is able to raise my life spirit again. Can I be called a very lucky person?" Oceh Galih in his heart while smiling at the thought of his first meeting with Wangi which now just realized Galih is a really ridiculous thing.

"Hey!! Smile themselves... Are you healthy?" Suddenly Jarno came startling Galih and disperse all his daydreams.

"Bikin' shocked at you!" Gertak Galih threw one of his pillows at Jarno.

"You end up smiling to yourself... What shadow are you? Shadow the slovenly thing huh..." Tempted Jarno with his smirk smile.

"Are you?! Just ngasal!" Seru Galih who immediately invited Jarno's laughter.

"Haha... And you keep thinking what? Don't tell me you're in love with a woman." Guess Jarno who immediately got a mysterious smile from Galih.

"Hm... Maybe?" Jarno glared at Galih's reply. Galih that he had known would not work if exposed to the seduction of any woman even though the woman was as beautiful as Merilyn Monroe.

"Are you serious??" Tanya Jarno was in disbelief.

"Stop that..." After answering ambiguously Jarno's question, Galih tilted his back to Jarno and closed his eyes with a smiley lip.

"Don't pretend to sleep! Answer my question first, cf. Matt... Galih!!"

Seriate...
