I'm Sorry to Throw You Out

Thank you, Rajesh.

"Welcome to our home."

Angie opens the door for Zoya and Rajesh with a smile. Both really came to the event which he said was to remember Rodie.

Zoya's eyes were immediately fixed on a photo decorated with white flowers. Zoya steps in and ignores Angie, the owner of the house, who chooses to step aside, giving her a way to enter.

Rajesh himself also seemed not to want to prevent his future wife from approaching Rodie's photo. Rajesh even quietly began offering prayers for his former rival.

The flower-dotted photo seems to be the answer to thousands of questions that have been tucked into the hearts of all people about where Rodie really is.

"May you get a decent place by his side, Rodie." Inner Rajesh.

Unlike Zoya who is still silent in front of the gold-framed photo with the size of the jumbo. So jumbnya until it feels like being faced with the person directly.

Zoya's hand was moved to rub the photo right on her cheek. His tears began to pour down his white cheeks.

"Why not say? Why not be honest? Why go without a word?"

Zoya pressed her chest that suddenly felt pain. Rodie's sense of loss felt so great hitting his soul. All the rows of events and memories with Rodie slowly revolved in his memory. Appears alternately like a photo slide. It brings a smile as well as a cry as Zoya remembers it.

Rajesh approached her, holding her shoulder.

"Mas,, I, I," Zoya feels bad for not being able to resist crying over Rodie in front of Rajesh.

"It's okay. Just clear up all your grief. After all, he's a good man who deserves you to cry for his departure."

Zoya turns her head then goes into Rajesh's arms. Weep for the soul that has returned to its owner, as it pleases. Rajesh himself gave his chest and shoulders to be the most comfortable place for the woman to spill all the flavors that hit.

Angie wiped her tears looking at scene after scene before her eyes. He is really not strong if he has to continue acting like this. I want to tell Zoya that the man in the photo has not left this world.

I want to say that the man is crying with you up there. Upstairs, Rodie sat on his wheelchair in silence. Rodie can look at Zoya and see everything clearly even though he has to hold his voice for the sake of no one to notice his presence.

Several times Angie's eyes looked at him and each time Rodie shook his weak fist as if he knew what was inside Angie's head. Rodie knows Angie wants to be honest with Zoya, so she always shakes her head so Angie doesn't do it.

"When did he die, Angie?" zoya's question made Angie who was looking at Rodie gasp in shock.

Her face paled in fear Zoya saw what her eyes saw above.

"Why not tell me? What about your son? Was that toddler your son?" ask Zoya who still believes in Rodie's play one last time.

Angie's getting nervous. Her eyes kept looking up and it made Zoya wonder. He looked up but saw nothing there. Rodie had already shifted the place until he was invisible from below.

"Rodie,, she, she, died," Angie suddenly forgot what to say.

"Sorry, can I borrow the toilet?" cut Rajesh diverts the conversation.

"Yes, yes, yes, of course you can. Please." Daniel, who felt their position was saved by Rajesh's question, immediately pointed out where to go to their toilet.

"Thank you" Rajesh said.

"Don't be shy." Daniel is not suspicious at all and lets Rajesh head in the direction he pointed.

Daniel returns to the room where Angie and Zoya are.

"You haven't answered my question, Angie" Zoya asked.

And again it makes Angie nervous.

"Rodie died last year." said Daniel on Angie's behalf.

"Because what? Sick? Why is there no news of him at all? Is it because he died that you also feel you don't need to tell me? I've been waiting for clarity all this time Angie. I've been living among you all this time. But I also don't want to be hanged" Zoya said again.

"I'm sorry Zoya. We are too late in our grief. Rodie's our best friend. Even I'm so grateful that he's been willing to take care of Angie and my son all this time."

"Your son?? Whatchu mean? Isn't he Rodie's son??" Zoya furrowed her brows and once again demanded an answer from Angie and Daniel.

This time both Angie and Daniel are nervous because Daniel accidentally told the truth about Angie's son.

"Mmm,, that, that, that means, that is, mmm, that is, that I'm used to referring to Bella, as my son. Yeah, Bella's Rodie's son, but I consider her my own. I thank Rodie for taking good care of my soul mate. I see, isn't that honey?? That right??" Daniel looks stupid this time.

"Angie??" zoya's gaze turned to Angie this time.

Angie lowered her head, unable to be looked at like that by Zoya.

Meanwhile, upstairs,, in, uh,,,

"Why stay here? Why keep hiding? Why let us dance over your suffering? If you really died then I wouldn't have the slightest guilt if I still married Zoya. But seeing you like this, I won't have the heart to continue with our wedding plans."

Rajesh said with an unblinking look at a thin body sitting on a wheelchair and listening to everything that was going on down there.

Rajesh had been suspicious since he met Angie and Daniel at a shopping mall. Even more suspicious again because Angie kept looking up as if there was something or someone on top. Therefore, Rajesh pura borrowed a toilet so that he could go upstairs, find out what is above.

And the conjecture is right,, Rodie's on top.

"No, you must stay married. Don't make my sacrifice a waste. Anyway, we're divorced. So please, don't cancel your wedding." Rodie asked with a face.

"You know, all this time I always felt that my love was the greatest for her. But seeing you this time, I feel like I'm not worth it. I admit defeat. My love is not worth your love." Rajesh kneels in front of Rodie's wheelchair.

"I know that. My love won over you but not my weak body. My love is strong enough for him but this weak body will not be able to keep him as good as your strong body. Therefore,, don't back down. Marry her for me. Who else can I trust to take care of her besides you?"

Rajesh started crying. He was really in a dilemma after meeting Rodie.

"In this life, I'll let it be yours. But if there's another life, promise me, you'll let me go with her." Rodie clasps Rajesh's hand for his approval.

"Yes, I promise."

"Thank you, Rajesh. Marry away. Happy for him, for me."

The two men looked down at each other and cried for a moment.

...With love, ...
