I'm the Abuser

"You?" bargain Clara while thrusting her potato snack in front of Bayu. The man just nodded slowly.

"Why did you fail in your first home?" ask Bayu more deeply. Clara was once a widow.

"Because I was cheated on, the first marriage was a mistake in the beginning. Forced commitment from both sides. Would be…. Well, that's. Failing has not even stepped on the first year" explained Clara while remembering her decision first. A quiet place with music gurgling waterfall makes it very good to vent. Especially the natural scenery that spoils the eyes. Making Clara easily reveal her heart.

"Do you really love Boby?" ask Bayu again. Clara turned to her interlocutor. It's not the usual Bayu.

"I'm kayaking in the hahahaha interrogation" replied Clara. His heart was already rustling strangely with the attitude of Bayu other than usual.

"I'm the intro of your heart" said Bayu without awkwardly. They looked. Clara just found out that the man next to her was harboring a taste.

"I…. Blissfully…. Sure oes. Boby was my first and last love" Clara said confidently as she looked Bayu in the eye. Clara looked away first.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know how you felt before" said Clara Lirih. Feeling guilty for giving hope to their closeness.

"What do I feel?? My feeling is you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met. Designer but not fashionable at all. Nyesel is taking your path. Your costume looks like a big boy" Bayu said as he pulled on Clara's gloating sleeves. Flip the usual fashion of Bayu.

"Yee..mistake yourself acc leave I didn't ask for. Bosen tau put on a neat shirt. This is more relaxed. Still mending I don't wear a negligee" said Clara at length. Bayu smile. Enjoy the scolding of Clara that is as hard as a waterfall. If he had the right to kiss those sweet-looking lips…. Ah, Bayu immediately looked away. Afraid to kiss Clara. Could hit him. That is also the minimal thing that happens. The maximum would ruin their sweet friendship. Bayu doesn't want that. She loves Clara and has to be quite content to be her friend.

"Photoin me there!" bayu said. Clara is getting ready for the camera. Taking pictures of Bayu and himself. I also took a few selfies together.

They were joking about anything while enjoying the place from some angle. The cloud was not too thick in the sky, but spilled a small speck of rain that made them both stricken with fog. Bayu continues to pull Clara's hand to find shelter. They arrived at a mini-mushola near the entrance. Alternately, they finally pray. After praying instead of rain subsides, even more heavy. The sky above is clear. The sun is shining brightly too. They both sat in the mosque's headquarter waiting for the rain to subside.

"I…. Want to get engaged Plak," said Bayu open the topic of conversation. Her face is sad, not typical of people who want a happy fiance. Clara raised her eyebrows. Waiting for the next story.

Bayu tells her that she is betrothed to Nana, her distant cousin. It's been a long time that's happened. But Bayu always refused.

"I want to find someone other than Nana. Since I was a child I was the same as him. It feels good if he is the same for the rest of my life," said Bayu.

"Is the problem you love?" ask Clara. Look at a lifetime when love is no problem. Think Clara.

"I love Nana of course. She's a nice girl, sweet and spoiled. I know his character. And it's not hard to love Nana. Let's just say he's loveable" Bayu said as he stared at the rather unique sky that afternoon. Hot, but also watery.

"If that's kuen gas, then" replied Clara. He explained that not always the match is bad. Well, even though it sounds old-fashioned. Both sides like each other.

"Where do you mind?" ask Clara again. Bayu. Stirring her cigarette casually beside Clara.

"What makes you doubt?" ask Clara wonder.

"You," replied Bayu densely and briefly. He also indirectly confesses his feelings.

"I…. I like the way you bring attitude. I like to joke with you. If everything is not too late, then I prefer you," said Bayu lirih. 

A statement of love between friends. Makes Clara feel her lips. The woman was silenced beside Bayu. Her…. Knowing Bayu almost a year. Bayu is also a fun person without being made. Filling his loneliness in Boby's. If Clara's honest, she likes Bayu too. But all that sense was pushed aside considering Boby. Close enough as a friend Clara was satisfied.

"I'm happy with Boby. Well, although for now we have to LDR. But I'm happy Bay, I love him" replied Clara convinced.

"Is Boby a man who deserves your love?" tanya Bayu made sure.

"of course. He is a kind, gentle and caring man. Well, despite the flaws of course." Said Clara. 

Clara also explained that Boby's lack of tolerance. Is there not a perfect human being? Bayu mangosteen mangosteen. I was happy to hear Clara's answer. I am happy with Clara's happiness. Although something to be sacrificed is quite painful. His love for Clara.

"Sorry, but it's all too late Bay. And I still plan to be faithful" Clara said as she turned her wedding ring to Boby. Wishing to have more strength to stay faithful.

"Yes right. I'm so happy for your love. I'll also keep it straight on Nana maybe. But I still like it this way once single and free. We're…. Stay friends after this, right?" ask Bayu while thrusting his pinky beside Clara. The woman smilingly welcomes Little Bayu by hooking her pinky.

"of course! We are still friends in an exciting abomination" replied Clara convinced. Bayu and Clara throw each other smiles.

"Ealah, udan kok isoh nyawang panase srengenge (eah, rain can still see the heat of the sun)," Bayu said shifting the topic.

The actual weather was the same as their current feelings. There is a heavy rain because it must remove the embers of love that began to burn. But some are still warm. That's their friendship. The two men decided to become friends. Continue the love that already exists. Love is a choice. And there must be a word to survive or leave between the paths traveled. Clara wants to hold on. Bayu also filled his day. Enough of a friend. Just friends. 

The two friends decided to come back after the rain. There was a relieved expression that emanated from Bayu's face. Haaa although the corner of his heart was certainly throbbing painfully.
