The next day, I was truly grateful for having gone through one night with all the disappointment. I thought to this day that I might be gone.
I poured all my sorrow into my poetry note.
___________________________________________
Dear night.
I write sorrow and wounds
Where I hid my face
From the physical waiting
On Love............
Glassy eyes
Heart scratched word lie
Just a lie
You played love
Dear night....
As quiet as you
Dissipate me on
In the painless wound
Inwardly..........
Congratulations wulan, you did it...
Successfully hurt me.....

It was heartache to continue to overshadow Wulan's words. Even the guitar melody I played was unable to erase the echoes of Wulan's lying voice.
Many messages from Wulan kept on sending to me which all contained an apology. But it was hard for me to forgive Wulan because my heart was really hurt.
I just locked myself in the house all day like I did before I knew Wulan.
In the afternoon, sister Lia came to see me at my house...
" Rhido, this is an invitation for you!!!" Said sister Lia.
" From whom???" I asked Lia.
" From Tinus." Says Brother Lia to me.
" You're patient, yes, I'm concerned." Continue Lia again.
" Yes, thank you..." My answer to Lia.
" Oya, I'm going straight home, yes." said Lia's sister saying goodbye.
" Okay, careful.!!!" I said to Lia's sister.
After Lia's sister left, I opened the invitation envelope. It's written.....
_________________________________________
"For you___R
Sorry,,,,,
I don't mean to hurt you, but I can't love someone right now.
But that doesn't mean I don't like you.

I paused for a moment to read the letter and I threw it away but I grabbed it back and continued reading it again.

*******
Again, I apologize for hurting you. You still want to be friends with me._ Wulan_
" I'm waiting for you Rhido. That's also if you're a man."

Wulan you just want to say that because you don't feel it.
" I hurt Wulan"" The expression in my heart just after I finished reading the letter.
Finally night came,
" Do I have to go there? " I asked in my heart.
" But if I don't go there, tell me it's not a man!!!" My heart is still looking for solutions.
Suddenly my phone rings, there's a call from Wulan. I chose not to lift it despite Wulan's repeated use of it.
A moment later, Wulan sent me a message.
_________________________________________
" You are waiting for the same Om, Aunt and other friends. You really can't appreciate them."
__________________________________________
After reading the message.
"But I have to go!! " I said in my heart.
I finally decided to go to Tinus' house. The place where the celebration took place.
" Good night everyone," I greeted them as soon as I got there and they answered in unison.
" Let's sit here." Said om Tinus while pointing at the place that was then empty.
" Yes, thanks." I said to Om Tinus.
In that place has gathered all the players of Bolavolly village flower yesterday. They had eaten first and I came straight to eat.
" Your mom!!! Please bring me one plate." Said om Tinus because it was on the table at that time there was no ringing.
A moment later Wulan came and in his hand held a plate. But I chose not to pay attention to him.
" This is the plate" Wulan said as he thrust the plate at me.
I couldn't avoid looking at him when I received the ring and I didn't want anyone else to know about my problem.
When our gazes met, it felt so claustrophobic in my body. I wanted to leave that place as soon as possible but I couldn't do it.
That night I was flattered so highly but I felt mediocre. Maybe all this because my heartache has not healed.
The entire time, Wulan kept watching me without a word. At that time only Lia's sister knew all the stories.
" Lord, what sin have I committed that you have punished me with this heavy burden." I said
After we finished eating, we talked for a while about the race. And finally we say goodbye because the night is getting late.
"Yes, we're home first." We bid farewell
" Thank you for the food." Alex's word represents all of us.
I was out first when Alex said goodbye. But when my feet were about to step away, all of a sudden...
" Rhido, Wait..!!!" Wulan's voice called me.
Actually I wanted to ignore him but at that time there was Tinus and Aunt Linda was also in front of the door to take us out so I turned to him...
" Yes, Wulan." I answered like that because I didn't want them all to know about it.
'' I'm sorry" Wulan said to me in a slightly whispered tone.
But I replied with a blink of an eye without a smile at all and turned around and left the place.....
" It's really hurt."'"
" See you in the next episode ".
From Rhido
Dear Wulan's
