Love for Losing Memory

Attending Reunion part 2

"Let's welcome Larasti Andini, to present a song to all of us tonight, representing the 35th generation. Let's welcome it with a big round of applause." Instantly a boisterous clap from the audience accompanied Rasti up on the stage.

"Good night everyone, it's great that I was able to be in this place, meeting many old friends, class mates, and upperclassmen and underclassmen. Let me sing a song to cheer us all up, a special song addressed by someone special in my heart." Rasti said as the opening words, before she started singing a song. The audience was so enthusiastic to listen when Rasti performed the song, a song about loving a lover that has been owned by others.

"It seems like the song was meant for you Bro, hahaha." - Goda Rinto who was still sitting next to Andika.

"Akh."

"Yes..in a way, you guys used to date, and now you're married to another. Just like the song."

"Not necessarily, who knows he also has a girlfriend other than me" said Andika raised the reason that might happen.

"Akh, as I recall, he was dead love with you. Remember, when you were a flirtatious little sister, transfer student at that time. Rasti immediately recklessly took sleeping pills to over, because kirain you cheated on him. Thank God he was not really late at that time, if he bothered you to account for his father's mother.." continued Rinto explained the length of elbar.

"What time?" ask Andika in disbelief.

"Yeah..nih right, you've lost your memory or what yes, the time of none of the events of High School time you remember, really deh." Andika chuckled with Rinto's words. If she told him the truth that she had indeed lost her memory, maybe Rinto would be shocked half to death. But no, he did not want people to pity him.

Event after event takes place smoothly, until it arrives at a friendly event session, where all attendees are welcome to enjoy the buffet dishes that have been prepared in the stands are scattered quite a lot in the spacious ballroom.

As Andika was walking while looking at what food stand to stop by, suddenly a woman called out from behind.

"Andika's..." Andika looked back to see who was calling her.

"You?"

"Yes...I am Rasti, yes, you forgot me?" rasti asked pretended, when he actually knew exactly that Andika had indeed forgotten the memories of the accident, according to the information she got.

"A long time ago, we didn't meet. I miss you deh.." continued Rasti said spoiled to Andika made the man not budge.

"We sit there yuk, telling stories, counting off kangen." teach Rasti while pointing towards the empty table. It was not good to refuse, finally Andika took some dessert to taste and sat down at the place that Rasti pointed to earlier.

"How's it been all this time?" ask Andika just a small talk to open the conversation.

"I'm good. I've been living abroad since we ended our relationship. I'm disappointed, you prefer Erina to me after all this time we've been in a relationship." Rasti said sighing disappointedly.

"I can't possibly see you with another woman. Therefore, I chose to live abroad to treat this wound in my heart. But it didn't work, Dika. I still can't forget you." continued Rasti made Andika become unwell at that moment.

"I still love you, Dika." Suddenly Rasti had already held Andika's hand. Quickly, Andika pulled her hand from Rasti's grasp.

"I don't care that, I believe deep down, you still love me. I'm your first love, Dika." said Rasti insistent with teary eyes, visibly holding back her cries. Whether this is a real cry or a made-up one, I don't know.

"I love my wife now, Erina, the only woman I love right now" Andika said.

"Hahaha..I can't believe that you will still love your wife if one day you know the truth." said Rasti.

"The truth? Whatchu mean?" andika was confused.

"Someday you will know that, even if I tell you now, you will not believe me either." replied Rasti. He knew that even if now he told everything, not necessarily he managed to convince Andika, who was even later he was thought to be making up for wanting to have Andika. So, he didn't want to be rash on this. He will execute his plan well, slowly but surely.

"Are you happy living with your wife now?" ask Rasti

"Yes, I'm so happy to have him now. I hope you can also find someone you love and can make you happy someday" Andika said sincerely.

"I really only love you, I can't possibly open my heart to another man." Rasti said.

"Time will answer everything." Andika replied.

"Yes, you're right.time will answer everything." Rasti silenced a smile full of her meaning.

"So, where do you live now? Did you come home from abroad just to attend this reunion?"

"No....I've been staying here for almost a month. I chose to go home when I heard the news that you were.." Rasti's words stopped because she realized she was almost a slip-up. Andika scrunched her forehead full of question marks in her mind at this moment.

"That you're getting married....I thought I would be invited, but apparently there was no invitation I received." replied Rasti giving a reasonable reason.

"Oh.if that's the case, I'm sorry. At that time my marriage was made simply, not inviting many people." Andika replied.

"There's nothing."

"But, by the way, why don't you take your wife to the reunion too, isn't Erina also a high school alumni?" ask Rasti pretend. Andika herself just found out from the story Rinto earlier that his wife was apparently alumni of Adiguna High School as well. He regretted not asking her to come.

"Oh..he's sapping, so he didn't want to come along." Answer Andika origin.

"Erina is lucky that she can have you as her husband. I envy him, I should be the one in his current position." continued Rasti. Hearing that, made Andika feel uncomfortable. Somehow again, he had to explain to the girl in front of him, that now he was married and it was impossible to love her anymore, regardless of how close their relationship used to be.
