Love is Named Us

Love is Named Us
Wishing



" Gaphi!" Aril hastily entered the room. With long steps he came to Gafi who was sitting in his chair. " What do I hear is true?"


" What about?"


" Don't ask me what, you know what I mean."


" You suddenly came into my room and kept asking this, and now you're angry. "


" Fi!" Aril breaks down the table where Gafi is busy with documents arranged on the table. Suddenly, Gafi's face changed.


" Are you looking for trouble with me, ha!"


" Seriously a little bit, Fi. You know what I mean is Sherin."


" Why with Sherin? Does that bother you?"


Aril took a breath. " Disturbing, very disturbing," he said. " What about Yuna?"


" Are you worried about him or are you asking how he is?"


" both."


" Now Yuna was fine even though she was very uncomfortable at first. But, I do understand that Sherin's presence must have been a little distracting."


" Of course Yuna must be distracted because Sherin came for you."


" I don't care. He went as he wished and came back as he wished. Weren't we over, nothing has to be straightened out."


" What if Sherin doesn't take it that way."


" I can what? Should I think about Sherin?" Gafi asked a question. Aril didn't flinch at the question. " Your face is not pleasant. Of course I wouldn't do it. He was long gone from my mind and heart. Then do I have to regulate my feelings because of his presence?"


" Thank God you already know what to do."


" Miss..." Jenny's voice is heard until it is heard by Gafi and Aril. " I'm sorry Miss, the Director is having a guest. " Please, don't..." Jenny instantly fell silent as the woman she was blocking opened the door. " Director, sorry," he said guilty.


" It's okay" said Gafi. " You're back at work."


" Okay, Director."


Sheri.


The woman who broke in was Sherin. He hasn't changed, done whatever he wants.


" So the guest the secretary said was Aril?" Sherin pointed to Aril who was standing there.


" You shouldn't have barged in, me and Gafi were discussing work" Aril said sarcastically.


" Why don't you seem to like my presence?"


" Do I have to welcome you special?"


" Tch..." Sherin grunted in annoyance. He did not expect to get an unpleasant welcome from this friend. " You've never been like this before."


" From now on get used to it" he chanted. " Fi, we'll talk about it later" Aril said, leaving the room.


" Wasn't that disrespectful" she protested, but Gafi did not respond too much to her words. " Do you have time?"


" Aren't you here?"


" I mean talk outside the office."


" There's a lot of work to do, if you don't mind just say it here."


" All right." Sherin sits in front of Gafi. " I'm glad to see you again. I've missed you so much all this time."


" missed me?" Sherin nodded. " For what?"


" Likes me? Since when? Does that matter?"


Sherin sighed. " Gaphi!"


Gafi crossed both hands. " You're talking about something I find funny. The words you say now, why are they different from what I heard before. Have you forgotten all that?"


" You don't know what my situation was. I did it for a reason."


" then?"


" Gaphi!" Sherin looked upset. " Why do I feel like you've changed so much, unlike the Gafi I used to know."


" The gafi you can trick you mean?"


" My-my..." Sherin was at a loss for words. For a moment he breathed a long breath. He did not expect Gafi would say such a shocking thing.


" I don't think there's anything else we need to talk about. There's no point in you still struggling in the past. I'm married to the woman of my choice. Whatever your reason for leaving me, I think it's your choice and it won't change."


" Gafi..why can you so easily forget everything."


" That's that kind?" Gafi still looks calm with his arguments. " You suddenly asked to separate, and when I asked you why, you said you didn't love me. I'm trying to hold on, but you stick with your decision, what can I do? Following your wishes is a very difficult decision for me. And then you disappeared into the ground, nobody knows where you are. I'm like a man who lost his spirit because of your departure. And now you come back and say something so absurd just to cover up your mistakes. You have no right to comment on my life that you don't understand at all."


" Your words are so spicy. Is this how you've been married?"


" You really don't understand. Whatever I say you will conclude according to your mind. I caught it like you wanted to blame Yuna for this."


" I really don't understand why you should marry her, Fi?"


" Sherin, we're over, next whatever I do, it has nothing to do with you. I'm married to anyone, I don't need to ask your permission."


" I waited for you until this moment. You don't know how I live my life without you. Waiting until I can stand straight in front of you."


" Don't start this endless conversation."


" I was sick, when the doctor told me about this disease, I didn't know what to do."


" hurt??"


Sherin nodded small. " I was sick then, Fi."


" How could I have known that you didn't tell me that time."


" Because I don't want to burden you" he said full of emotion.


Gafi sighed. " burdened me? How can you think negatively like that. Do you think that I would leave you if I knew about your illness."


Sherin.


" You chose your path, hurt, then left. Then what's the point of you telling me now? Is this also the path you take, as you please."


" Ga-fi." Sherin is stunned to not believe Gafi's words to her. " I know the path I took was wrong, but you can't understand my decision."


" I understand and forgive, but it's not like this, it's not what you want. We're just two people who already have their own paths, so you should also understand the situation."


" Fi..."


" So, please." Gafi pointed at the door tang was at the end there. " There's still a lot of work to be done."


Sherin restrains her frustration at Gafi's request. " All right, I'll go. But, it's not over. I'm sure you'll change your mind" he said.


Gafi let out a long sigh, leaning his shoulders on the sofa. One by one, problems arise simultaneously. But this time the presence of Sherin did capture the attention of especially those who knew him.


He knew Sherin's emergence was not a simple matter. Neither he nor Yuna should be ready to face whatever happens later. This was the umpteenth stumbling block they had to pass. Whether or not, only Gafi and Yuna could answer.
