Jay's Hard Choices



Thousands of stars twinkled merrily, yet none greeted. Silence the woman who is fixated in grief, staring at herself who questions fate. Is there no happiness for him? Until the mother's gentle touch made her flinch, shifting her fret.


"The sky is so bright tonight, the stars greet each other and joke happily. Don't you want to be like one of them?You deserve to be happy Kinara," said Bu Ira gazing up far away.


"Maybe, one day," Kinara replied hesitantly.


"Why should one day, happy is not necessary for you to look far. The happiness is here, in the nearest place, in the heart," said Ira Bu as she patted her own chest.


"Beat yourself! Evan needs that, Evan needs rights as a child. gradually he will understand about his status that is different from others. He's the one who gets hurt the most if you stick with your ego. Think carefully before everything happens, make the right decision Kinara," said Bu Ira at length.


Kinara just fell silent, digesting every word that Bu Ira said. Should he learn to open his heart to Roman, then Jay...? gamang.


I need clarity about us, not a faint shadow like this, trying to gather determination for certainty.

That morning, despite the overcast rolling up the sun, did not dim Kinara's intention to meet Jay. He deserves to know, even have to know what exactly Jay meant to silence him. Some of the messages he sent never checked blue, contacted many times was just futile.


Breaking through the hard drizzle, Kinara ran towards the project where Jay worked. But no, he wasn't there. Cold more bone-chilling with his wet clothes, did not stop his steps to several places that often Jay stopped.There was no result as well. Until finally he decided to go to Anin's apartment, even though with the consequences of having to face predictable treatment how rough.


He knocked on the door a few times until someone opened it. Surprisingly, the figure of the woman in front of him right now is the woman he saw with Jay yesterday.


"Gapain you raining gini here?" ask the girl.


"I'd like to see Mas Jay" he answered briefly.


The woman opened the door wide, "she was still asleep inside, do I need to wake her up? But it seems like he is still exhausted," Renata said with a meaningful expression.


"No need, just tell me that I came looking for her," replied Kinara with a reddened face, holding back her puddles of tears. After his neutrality saw a reality full of uncertain conclusions.


Soon he left the place, carrying a prejudice that cut his heart. Walking with the rest of the despair he had.

"She was here, dance for you" Renata said as she watched Jay wake up.


"It looks like he's very disappointed" he added cynically.


Jay did not flinch, only his sharp gaze instantly pointed at Renata.


Renata is well aware of her former lover's reaction, "ooh. Not far if you want to chase him," he said meredek.


Jay got out of bed, staring at the rain from behind the glass window. Difficult choices, everything hurts. But he thinks this is the best, because at least Roman will take care of him. Not taking him to be a sickle behind bars.


Elsewhere, Kinara hid under a blanket enjoying her heartache and her body. Usually shivering, while his body temperature gets hotter.


"You're sick Kinara? your body is so hot, "Mum Ira was so shocked to find the child lying limp with a paled face.


But Kinara shook his head instead, "it's just raining," he replied softly trying to calm down.


Although hearing that was not necessarily Bu Ira was silent, immediately she moved to take the drug.


"Drink this!" a single white-colored medicinal tablet as well as all the white water had been in his hands. Kinara slowly got up, received the medicine and put it in her mouth.


"Rest!" said Ms. Ira who was so worried.


"Father really long, Evan did not want to be late," whined the little boy.


"I'm sorry I had bad luck, so I got stuck" Roman replied.


"You should just stay here, not late anymore. Let me also take care of Mother if sick," he said innocently.


"Your mother is sick?" a face full of anxiety was immediately drawn there.


"Yes, Kinara had a fever from yesterday" Bu Ira replied interrupting.


Hearing that, Roman immediately headed towards Kinara's room. He saw the woman he loved lying with his eyes closed. Roman sat on the edge of the bed, gently touching Kinara's forehead.


Kinara opened her eyes, "i'm not papa," while avoiding the touch of the hand.


"How long do you avoid, that long I will also be patient. As long as you're not happy, I won't let you go. Do not force me to step aside, because it is useless it will not change my resolve," said Roman who then gently grasped Kinara's hand. This time Kinara let him. Sincerity was indeed emanating so real from Roman's eyes.


"Evan let Mother anther, pin Kinara yes," exclaimed Bu Ira from behind the door. It looks like he is giving the two men a chance to stay together longer.


"Okay, ma'am" Roman replied with a fluffy smile.


"Give me a chance to just knock on the door of your heart politely. It's okay if in the end you don't let me in, just opening up and saying hello is enough" said Roman, who was hopeful.


And this time Kinara nodded, perhaps she had chosen to make peace with herself. Trying to get rid of the shadow of the sharp thorns that he had always feared.


"Thank you" said Roman full haru. This was his first time feeling so close to Kinara.


"Come home, I'm no papa," suddenly Kinara was nervous.


"I'll be home, after seeing you eat. The mother of my son should be healthy" grabbed the bowl of porridge that Bu Ira had placed on the nightstand.


Kinara immediately got up, then accepted the bowl, "i can eat by myself," he said lightly.


Roman smiled again, new hope soared. Never again miss the hard-earned opportunity he got back.


*****


This morning, the bright morning sun accompanied the radiant faces full of new despair. Kinara who began to make peace resigned to the situation, Roman who found new hope, also Evan who looks most cheerful to see the smile of the Father and Mother. Being in one car to Evan's school.


"Dad tipped Mom yes, Evan does not want Mom to hurt again," whispered Evan in the ear of the father.


"Ready...I will take care of you" replied Roman who whispered.


"Are you guys playing with secrecy are you trying to be with Mom?" kinara was curious.


"There is a deh." answered Evan as he passed away, after saying goodbye and kissing the back of his mother's father's hand alternately.


A smile rose from Roman's lips, "come in, you'll be late" he told Kinara.


Although there was no meaningful conversation during the trip, this time Roman looked happy, at least no more hateful look was found on the beautiful face.
