Friend Bed

I'm telling the World

A black-colored sedan car appeared to stop at a two-story minimalist mansion. In the car, there was a woman and a man who were having a small debate.

"Tomorrow I'll go back to Australia, and never come back. I'm sure you'll find a good man who will be your soul mate, Jane."

"You're really insolent, Dareen! You are a freak! An hour ago, you were being so sweet to me. Then now? You just threw me away! You are really insolent! Then what exactly do you mean to act like that if you end up throwing me away?"

"I'm sorry again, Jane. Didn't I always ask you to stay away from me? But why are you still coming to my house? I'm sorry if that's why I'm taking advantage of your arrival."

"Utilizing my arrival? What do you mean Darren? "

"Yes, I'm sorry that I used your arrival to make someone jealous. I love that woman so much, but I realize our love will never be able to unite, which is why I use you so that she does not hope for me anymore. I love that woman so much, in this world, there is no other woman I want except her, I love her as sincerely as my heart, all my life, and I can't seem to fall in love with any woman other than her. So please forget me, Jane. Please forget me because I can't love another woman but her. Do you understand? Please forget me!"

"Are you crazy, Darren? Didn't you just say that you couldn't possibly unite? But why would you also say that you couldn't possibly love another woman besides her? Have you gone crazy? So you're gonna waste your life doing stupid things? You really are a stupid man!"

"As far as you want to say what. I don't even care if the whole world thinks I'm a fool, because to me loving a woman as beautiful as her is the most beautiful part of my life. Jane, you better go home now, and please don't ever hope for me again, because until any time, even until the end of my age, my answer remains the same. Just her, she's the only woman I love so much. Again, sorry. Good night, Jane," said Darren. He got out of Jane's car and rushed into the house.

Jane who was still silent in the car stared at Darren's departure with a pushy look.

"Actually who is that woman? Who exactly is the woman you love Darren? Ah wait, didn't he just say that he was making a woman jealous? Then last night at dinner wasn't there just Shakila and Aunt Aini? Does this mean that the woman Darren loves, Shakila? Yeah, I guess this is true because Darren said he couldn't possibly have it? She couldn't possibly have Shakila because they're sisters?"

Jane then breathed her long breath. "It can't be allowed!" jane grumbled while driving her car out of Darren's house.

Meanwhile, Darren who had currently entered his house looked a little surprised because the house looked so quiet.

"Why so lonely? Don't you think Mama and Papa are still watching television? Ah maybe they're asleep already" Darren said as he walked into his room.

Arriving in the room, he then walked towards the balcony and looked towards the balcony of Shakila which now looks dark.

"Why is Shakila's room so dark? Isn't he afraid of the dark? Maybe he was just contemplating. Shakila, I'm sorry. I really miss you, Shakila. But I don't want our love to get deeper which will eventually make us in a more difficult situation. Shakila, I will live with my stupidity to love you. I love you so much, Shakila," Darren said as he walked into his room.

Next Heart..

Darren opened his eyes as the sun began to enter through the window of his room. He then looked towards the clock above the nightstand which was already showing at seven in the morning.

"Have it been seven? I'm bad luck, last night I couldn't sleep until I woke up this afternoon? Oh, my God, I might meet Shakila at the dinner table. Huft found it hard to control this feeling if I met him. I actually really wanted to hug and kiss her whole body!" darren said with a wry smile.

He then got up from his bed and walked out of his room towards the dining table. Before arriving at the dining table, Darren looked at the dining table.

"It just so happens that there's no Shakila at the dinner table" Darren said. He then approached the dining table and greeted Aini and Roy.

"Good morning, Pa. Good morning, Ma!" greet Darren.

"Good morning, Darren."

"Which other one?" ask Darren for pleasantries.

"Oh Shakila, he's gone back to Jogja, while Tristan, he's gone to school."

"Go back to Jogja? What does that mean, Ma?"

"Yes, go home to Jogja, along with Shakila's biological family."

"Did Shakila not tell you? Mama thought you guys had a chance to talk, didn't Shakila also send you a message and tell you about her identity?"

'Oh my God, I'm really stupid! I never opened a message from Shakila! Oh, my God, I'm such a coward! I didn't even dare to open a message from Shakila for fear of not being able to hold back my longing for her! I'm really stupid!' inner Darren.

"Mama, Papa, ja.., so you mean Shakila's not my sister? He's not Papa and Mama's son?"

"It wasn't Darren, Shakila was Delia and Dimas' son. For some reason, they've been leaving Shakila since she was a year old. After her parents' problems were over, she returned to Jogja to reunite with her family."

Darren's feelings were so chaotic hearing Aini's words. He could only curse in his heart while regretting his stupidity.

"I'm really stupid! You idiot! You idiot!" gerutu Darren's.

"You why Darren?"

"Mama, do you know Shakila's address in Jogja?"

"Of course, why Darren? Why are you so worried?"

"I have to meet Shakila, Ma! I have to meet Shakila!"

"But not now, Darren. You can see him tomorrow. This afternoon Shakila will be engaged to Devano. You'd better see her tomorrow, after the engagement is over."

DEG

Darren's heart stopped beating hearing Aini's words.

"What engagement?"

"Yes, this afternoon Shakila will be engaged to Devano."

"DON'T!" darren shouted as he rubbed his face violently.

"You why Darren? You why?"

"Ma, I have to go see Shakila as soon as possible! Please send me the address, Ma. I have to go see Shakila immediately!"

"DARREN! WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?" snapped Roy.

"Papa, Mama, I don't have time to explain any of this. I have to go right now!"

Darren then went into his room to change his clothes. After that, he seemed to be coming out of the house in such a hurry. While Aini and Roy stared at Darren's departure with gazes filled with question marks.

"Here, what's really going on with our son?"

"Come, Roy."

While Darren who is now out of the house was driving his car at a very high speed to the airport.

"Hopefully I'm not too late, I hope I'm not too late. Shakila, wait for me. Wait for this cowardly man to tell the world if I love you, I'll tell the world if I love you, Shakila."
