Friend Bed

Shadow of the Past

Vansh stopped the car and rushed into Calista's house. Inside the house, Sharen and his parents are talking to Calista in the living room of the house.

"Good day" said Vansh.

"Good afternoon Vansh" Inara and Abimana answered along with Sharen.

"You're from the Queen's house, Vansh?" ask Calista.

"Yes Aunty, I have business with Mama Queen," replied Vansh then sitting next to Calista. Vansh then looked at Sharen and smiled at him.

"Sharen, where are you going?"

"I'm going to Manchester, brother. I want to start a new chapter in my life."

"Are you sure you want to get through this on your own?"

"Very sure, Brother."

"Well, I hope you can find your happiness, Sharen."

"Yes Brother, thank you very much" Sharen replied with a smile on his lips, but without everyone noticing, a tear almost fell from the corner of his eye. Sharen hastily wiped away the tears so that no one could see him.

"Vansh, we're so grateful to you. We don't know what's gonna happen if you don't help us. Seeing the behavior of Sharen alone has made us very sick, especially if it must be coupled with the scorn of the family who came, our feelings may be very broken Vansh. Once again we say a big thank you to you for saving our faces so as not to feel more embarrassed" Abimana said.

"Sama-sama Om Abimana, I only do what I can help. And this is not a difficult thing for me. I'm glad I could help you all."

"You're a really good kid, Vansh. Hopefully one day you can soon find your life partner, you also deserve to be happy dear," added Inara.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Inara."

"If only Vansh would open her heart, there might have been many women waiting in line in front of this house Inara" Calista said with a chuckle and made Abimana and Inara smile.

"Tante could have been, at this time I'm not ready Auntie."

"But when? Look at Nathan, at first he loved Cleo so much, but after meeting Clarissa and opening the door to her heart, he was crazy about Clarissa. All you need is sincerity to release and close your old sheet" Calista said, staring at Vansh. Without everyone noticing, Sharen shed her tears upon hearing Calista's words. She wiped her tears before everyone noticed.

"Maybe sometime, but not for now" Vansh replied.

"Let it be, Sister Calista, I'm sure that one day Vansh will also find the woman" Inara said.

"Alright then, we'll excuse you to go home first" Abimana said.

"Are you not in a hurry? Didn't you just come?"

"Oh well then, hope everything goes well. And you're Sharen, hopefully one day we can meet again."

"Yes Aunt Calista, thank you so much for accepting myself to be part of the Aunt family with open arms. Although in a matter of days, the warmth of Aunt Calista is so deep in my heart" said Sharen.

"Sama-sama Sharen, nice to know you."

Abimana and Inara got up from the couch and walked to the door, followed by Sharen behind them. Abimana and Inara then get into their car, but Sharen is still standing in the doorway staring at Calista and Vansh with a smile on his lips. He hugged Calista.

"One more time thank you very much, Aunt Calista."

"Together Sharen, may you find your happiness."

"Yes Aunty," Sharen replied as he let go of his embrace to Calista. He then saw Vansh.

"Again, thank you very much, brother."

"Yes, I hope you can start your new life Sharen."

"Yes Brother."

"Didn't you want to hug me? Although we haven't known you for a long time, I'm sure you're actually a good girl, only you're too young and can't control your ambitions. You take it easy, I'll always be there if you need me, Sharen. Because I already consider you as my sister," Vansh said with a smile. Vansh's words surprised Sharen. She smiled and hugged Vansh.

"Thank you very much, Brother Vansh. You and Aunt Calista are really very nice people" Sharen said as she hugged Vansh.

"Yes Sharen."

Sharen takes his arms off Vansh and smiles at Calista and Vansh. He said goodbye and got into the car of his parents who were waiting for him.

Without them all realizing it, there was a pair of eyes that were observing them behind the gate of the house. A cardboard box also fell from the hands of the figure behind the gate. When Abimana's car came out of the house, the figure then turned his body so that the people in the car did not see his face. After the car left, he turned his body back and saw the contents of the box that had been scattered.

"Maybe it's a sign from the universe if at any time I'll never be able to have it. I should have realized that long ago, but unfortunately I was too stupid and naive to realize that. Until I will never have her heart because we are different, and the funny thing is that I only realized after this stupidity has been lodged in my life for too long."

Maya then looks at Calista's house. 'So, right said Aunt Reni if Vansh will be betrothed to a woman, and it turns out that the woman is Sharen? Maybe it's a slap for me, maybe it's a punishment from God for me for almost hurting a woman because of ambition and resentment in my heart. And, this reality seemed to give me a slap. You win Sharen, you win without retaliating against me. Today I realized, it is fitting that I forget my past, forget my knights, and forget all those memories. I have to go back to reality not dreams. Dreams that arrive at any time will never be realized, ' Maya muttered as she walked away from the house.

While Vansh who is now in his room looks at a photo pendant on his phone screen. A shadow in the past began to cross his mind.

"AWAS! There's cars!" he shouted at a girl who was crossing the street while carrying a cardboard box in her hand. Vansh saw himself running towards the girl and suddenly a mini-bus hit him.

BRAKKKK

"HHHHHH!!!" shout Vansh. He then got up from the bed while holding his head.
