HALF MY SOUL

HALF MY SOUL
HE WENT



"You?!" Viera looked at Kimberly.


"Honey?" william said when he saw Viera.


Viera, who had seen William coming along with Kimberly, was now staring into William's eyes. William can catch the sorrow from his lover's eyes.


"Sis, let's go home yuk," Viera asked her friend Siska. Viera comes to the boutique with her friend to buy a dress, for the birthday of one of their friends.


"Honey, wait for me," William grabbed Viera's arm and pulled her, so Viera's body was now not far away from him.


"I'll take you" said William.


"No need, honey. You have to take care of your future fiance, right?" William could hear there was a tone of sadness from Viera's voice.


William turned his head towards Kimberly who was currently looking towards him as well as Viera.


"Kim, you can be alone, right? I'll drop off my girlfriend, "Well, William said, "Well, and go home by yourself, you're not a kid anymore."


Kimberly was slapped hearing William's words. However, he just smiled to see William's departure with Viera.


*****


Monday morning, Kimberly came to campus. This is his final year, he is preparing a thesis as a condition of his graduation.


"Kris, dy, I want to give this to you guys" Kimberly said, handing over a peach-colored envelope.


"William & Kimberly engagement?" read Lady.


"Seriously lo?" ask Kristy.


Kimberly nodded her head.


"Can't you?" ask Kristy again.


"It turns out that Grandpa and Grandma William promised my grandparents that they would love their grandchildren as granddaughters-in-law to my grandparents" Kimberly replied.


"Lo agrees with that? Don't you know that William is Viera's girlfriend? trus tuh cewe nyesek donk."


"Lo both know that I really like William, even arguably that I love him very much. The first time I knew I wanted to be fooled, of course I refused. But on the day H, and I see that the one who is fooled by me is William, I accept it."


"Lha keep going, William don't refuse?" ask Kristy curious.


"She refused, even she hit me. If I accept this match, my life will suffer. Trus he also said that he would make me refuse to marry him."


"Oh my goodness, Kim. I think you can't stop her fiancee with her. Do you want to live in suffering?" ask Lady.


"Yes, Kim. I just thought it was so easy" said Kristy.


"But, what I read from the novel romantic love, every matchmaking of course they will be able to love each other and live happily."


"But this is not a novel, Kim!!" kristy and Lady said at the same time.


"Can't I hope?" now Lady and Kristy look into Kimberly's eyes, which look so sad.


"We're not asking you to lose hope, Kim. But we just don't want you to take the wrong step. We love you, Kim, and we want to see you happy."


"I'd be happy to be with William, like I used to be."


Lady, who was sitting opposite Kimberly, now moved to sit next to her. He held onto Kimberly's shoulder, then patted her slowly.


"I know you love William so much, but I've never seen the love in William's eyes for you."


"Wouldn't that love come when we live together? Love can come from getting used to it, right?"


Kristy and Lady let out their breaths slowly. Looks like they won't be able to change Kimberly's decision.


"Just calm down, Kim. We will definitely come to your engagement" said Kristy to melt the atmosphere.


"Yes, did you also invite Brother Anthony, Brother Hanna and Brother Hansel?" ask Lady.


"No," Kimberly did not tell them that Anthony was going with Hansel to find Hanna.


"Why?"


"Alright, Kim. We're coming" said Kristy and Lady with a smile.


*****


Kimberly sat quietly in her room, staring at the window. Starting in the afternoon, the sun was almost back to the dispute.


He looked up at the orange afternoon sky, whose light came into his room. The sky was so beautiful, but not as beautiful as his heart at the moment. A stream of water came down from the corner of his eye.


"All will be well. I believe I will be happy with William. Has God not opened the way for me to be with him" Kimberly said.


Tokk ... tokkk ... tokkk ....


"Kim, brother come in, yes" said King.


"Yes, sister," Kimberly instantly wiped away her tears. He did not want his family to see his grief.


"What are you doing, Kim?" ask King.


"I'll sit down again, thinking about the material for my thesis later, sister," he said lying.


"Kim, are you trying to lie to your brother?" inner King.


"I want to take you away."


"Go? Where's Sis?" ask Kimberly curiously.


"See sister's office."


"Is the renovation done?"


"No, I just wanted to check it out. Wanna come with me?"


"Of course!" yell Kimberly happy. He thought it might be better to go with King than to stay alone in the room.


Arriving in front of the shophouse that would become King's office, Kimberly finally dropped so jiga with King. Just getting there, King's tail caught the movement across the street, revealing a man and woman kissing affectionately, without caring about.


"Ahh, why would I think of her feelings if I saw this," King said.


Finally, Kimberly went inside. Kimberly looked from the ground floor to the top floor. In fact he went to the top Dak, which turned out to be so open and could look around.


Meanwhile, King was talking to the contractor who was working on the renovation. When he finished, King caught up with Kimberly.


"Kim, what are you doing here?"


"I just saw, brother. Oya, what the top of here won't big brother do what?"


'You mean?"


"Sister can make a barbecue spot, or a small garden possible," Kimberly suggested.


"Sister here is not for eating, let alone gardening. Brother is here to work, Kim," King said.


Although Kimberly spoke with a smile to King, King was able to catch any problems his sister was facing.


"You got a problem, Kim?" ask King.


"Ooo no, Brother. Kim just thought, after Kim graduated, Kim wanted to continue S2 or Kim just work with older brother yes," Kimberly said with a laugh but looks forced.


"Kim, don't continue this engagement if you don't want to" King said.


Kimberly stared at King, then cried and hugged her brother.


"I love him, Brother. If there's Brother Lee, I can tell him a lot. He knows how to comfort me," Kimberly was still as eager as she spoke.


"Lee? you still close to him? Didn't you tell me to stay away from him" King clenched his hand.


"But I can't, brother. Brother Lee was so good to me. I love him as much as I love my brother. He was always there when I was in trouble. But now, he doesn't exist ..."


"Where is he going?" ask King to know.


"It went ..."
