Love In Venice's

Episode 17 Reality

Reality is often not as good as hope. A few seconds ago we were on a cloud and then after that we crashed into the ground. That's reality.

Like sipping the world's most bitter medicine, Syaha walked gontai towards his dormitory. A week had passed since Ray's news came to the surface.

Sunken eyes, tapered cheeks, glare. That is the current definition of shaha. Day he considers night and night he considers day. She tried hard to find her husband, her heart.

Every way he does is to find Ray's whereabouts, but it all leads to a dead end. Syaha was almost desperate. He then followed Ray to London. But what power, poverty plastered was real before his eyes. Anna and Nando offer to help, but Syaha refuses. He wants to find Ray on his own. Syaha believes that Ray will definitely return. Because Ray promised him the day the man left for London.

"See. eat first.." Anna's voice interrupted Syaha's daydream.

Syaha. He has no appetite.

"Come on. You can get sick if you don't eat.." Anna forced.

Again Syaha nodded. The object in front of his eyes did not attract his heart.

"Ann. I miss Mas Ray.." Syaha's tears couldn't be dammed when she remembered Ray. I don't know how many tears she's shed for Ray. Syaha needs Ray, needs his oxygen.

Anna took a long breath. There's not much he can do. He and Nando had been trying desperately to help Syaha but nil. Ray is like a swallow of the earth.

-----

Syaha had contacted Ray hundreds of times but the man's number could not be reached. Syaha also every day comes to the apartment hoping there is a priesthood but the same. There was no sign of Ray. The apartment has remained the same since its owner left it. Ray's clothes are still there, their belongings are still in place.

Syaha is desperate. He lost his destiny to Ray.

"Where do you miss you.." Syaha's body was very tired today. His eyes immediately closed as his head fell on the pillow.

-----

Exactly ten days. Ray promised to come home after seven days. But he didn't come back, ten days. All the places Syaha had come to look for Ray.

Two days ago Syaha to the Embassy asked Ray. How surprised Syaha when he heard that Ray did not work there. Ray is a volunteer. Syaha also asked here and there. Go to places he has been to. There's no Ray there. Wherever Syaha goes, there is no Ray.

All day looking for Ray Syaha's body is tired. Lately Syaha is easily tired and excessive sweating. His appetite does not change but Syaha always feels thirsty.

Apartment Ray is the goal to rest because the distance is close to his current position. Ray's apartment password was fortunately not changed at all. Syaha immediately laid his body on the king size mattress that he often used to make out with Ray.

Just as Syaha's eyes were about to close, the sound of the apartment door opening spread his fatigue.

"Mas Ray's.." Syaha gasped when he saw the figure he had been looking for. Ray's husband. Heart heart.

"Oice.." Ray was no less surprised to find Syaha sitting on his bed.

"Mas.. Where is Ray going? I miss Mas Ray.." Shaha rushed towards Ray.

"Mas what happened? I'm looking for Mas Ray everywhere.." Syaha's voice sobbed in Ray's arms.

There's something different. Shaha could feel it. Ray didn't return his embrace. But Syaha's brain seemed indifferent because his longing for Ray's presence had been treated.

"We need to talk.." Ray took off Syaha's embrace then walked towards the sofa. Shaha followed from behind.

Ray was silent for a moment. He was weighing his feelings at the moment. His mind was processing the word he was about to put out. This word he might regret later. But there's no other way. This is what is best for them right now.

"Before I apologize Ais.." Ray's jaw is hardened. His eyes changed.

"Ais forgave Mas Ray long before Mas Ray apologized to Ais.. Ais just need Mas Ray to be honest with Ais.. Yesterday's news about Mas Ray is not true Mas?" Shaha tried to control his heart. He knows that Ray has changed. Highlight the drowning eyes he saw differently today. Those eyes were very foreign now. Syaha tried to trick himself by yelling inwardly if he was okay.

"The news is true.."

Jamb. Silent.

Syaha's head was hit by a block of wood.

"Bag.." Shaha tried to hold back her tears.

"I'm sorry it looks like we have to split up Ais.it's true what you heard if I was the mysterious man. I fled to Venice from my family. Now I have to go back there. I'm sorry I didn't intend to hurt you. But I have no other choice.."

"Our relationship is quite up here. I will not force you to forgive me. I'm a real jerk.."

Shaha held his head up. His head was full of new information that he could not believe.

Escape? Our relationship got here enough? Didn't mean to hurt you? I'm a jerk?

What the fuck? What reality is this? Syaha's brain rejects Ray's words.

"What do you mean? I can understand Mas Ray's position.We're married Mas.I'm Mas Ray's wife.. Ray didn't forget, did he?"

"I didn't forget Ice.. Ray remembers it very much, but I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done it.."

A goof? Is marriage a mistake?

What else is this? Is marriage just a joke? Oh God..

"Mas Ray! We promised to be together. Although our marriage has not been officially recorded, we have spoken the promise before God Mas? Weddings aren't to be messed up.." Lost Syaha's patience. Ray is outrageous.

"I know Ais. but I have no other choice. Our farewell is the best way. I'm here to pick up my leftovers. This apartment is sold. Tomorrow a new resident will come. I hope you leave this place soon.."

"You have the heart Mas.. What is wrong Ais Mas? Don't you love me, Mom? Ais loves Mas Ray. Don't leave Ice like this Mas.." Syaha screamed while crying. He didn't want to lose Ray.

Shaha's efforts were in vain when Ray had gone to carry one of his suitcases leaving Syaha alone in the apartment. A place that bears silent witness to the love story of Syaha and Ray.

Syaha's body fell to the floor when the apartment door was tightly closed.

"Please forget Mas Ray Ais. Find a better man than Mas Ray.." That was Ray's last word to Syaha.

I've trusted you Mas.. teganya you betrayed me. so worthless kah I in your eyes Mas Ray. whereas I sincerely love you. why your marriage considers playful Mas.. you're the worst man I've ever known. I'm sorry to know you..

Seriate....
