Love is Not Finished

CHAPTER 143: Goodbye

Bram and I were silent for a moment, preoccupied with each other's thoughts.

"Zanu, once again forgive me," Bram clasped his hand as he stroked my cheek. He wiped my tears.

"I know how you feel, Zanu. It must have been a very tough decision for our relationship. If I don't come back later, you can find my daughter. May you have a good man, love you wholeheartedly and always take care of you. I..," Bram's sentence was blocked when I closed his lips with my index finger.

"Don't go on again, brother, let me enjoy our time together in these last seconds. Let me calm my heart with time and let me decide for myself what is best for me" I said in a soft tone. I have resigned and tried to accept this decision, even though in the depths of my heart, I have not been able to accept it.

"Alright if that's what you want Zanu. While waiting for my parents to come pick me up, how about we dance here?" ask Bram.

"Oh, but where's the music?"

"Before a minute, I go inside first huh," Bram immediately walked away from me.

Not long after, Bram returned with the sound of music that echoed throughout this park. Beautiful melodic music sounded in the ears.

Bram approached me with a smile, he pulled my hand to hug his waist. And another hand he put on his shoulder. After that Bram pulled my body tightly in his arms. Bram and I swung their legs to the beat of the music.

I once leaned my head against Bram's chest. And Bram stroked my hair. One music is over and we stop dancing for a moment, because Mr. Tio came to us both.

"Sorry Boss, Non, I'm intruding. Mom and Dad have gone home, boss. And now it is waiting in the middle room. All the goods are ready to be delivered to the airport" said Mr. Tio.

"Okay sir, thank you. Zanu and I went there immediately" Bram replied.

Mr. Tio nodded and went straight out of the park.

Bram looked at me, as if he was too heavy to just leave me. Time seems to pass so quickly, there are so many stories that we have both passed. Although my relationship with Bram was only in a matter of months.

"Zanu, someone will take you back to the boarding house. Sorry, I didn't get to take you. Is that okay, baby?" ask Bram. The look on Bram's face began to be sad.

"Yes, it's okay. I understand the situation,"

"Zanu, may I kiss your lips one last time?" ask Bram.

I nodded and waited for a touch of Bram's lips. With a shahdu look, Bram slowly brought his lips closer to mine. Her lips were adrift for two minutes, without any lust or excitement. Yup! The kiss was just a parting symbol for Bram. And he shed tears.

Bram crying!

I can't believe I watched Bram in such circumstances. This was the second time she cried in front of me. I quickly wiped her tears, I did not want to see Bram crybaby.

Then Bram hugged me very tightly!

"Dear, take good care of yourself. Pray I can come back to you" said Bram. He let go of his embrace and pulled my hand inside towards the living room.

He seemed to be trying to avoid sadness and he ended it all immediately. Because Bram doesn't want to dissolve and let time go.

*********

"Hallo nak Zanu, how are you?" greet Bram's mom when we both come.

"Well Papi, Mami," I replied as I greeted Bram's parents.

"What, are you ready to leave Bram? I'm sorry we had to make this decision, son," Mami Bram came up to me and looked guilty at me.

"Yes Mami, God willing Zanu can accept and forget it" I replied while trying to smile.

"Hopefully, we can still communicate well. Although it may be rare, because our circumstances and places are far apart,"

"Yes Mami" I replied briefly.

"Mom, I'll be back for Zanu. I'm going to finish everything in America, I'm not going to let anyone else control my life" Bram said excitedly.

"Yes gotta! True love is to be picked up," replied Mami as she glanced at me.

Mr. Tio walked into the living room and chatted with Papi Bram. Mr. Tio told me, if everything is ready and just leave.

"How is Papi, Mami Prita's condition? Are the doctor and Prita at the airport?" ask Bram.

The deg! Hearing Bram say about Prita, somehow my heart feels broken. I never thought Bram would marry Prita.

"They're getting ready, son. Waiting for the police car to be ready to escort the ambulance, Prita will be brought with it so that the process is smooth during the trip," replied Papi.

"Yes, while waiting for them to leave, you double-check the luggage. No one is afraid to miss" said Mami.

"No Mommy, all I've put in. Oiya, how is Atif? The luggage ready?" ask Bram.

"He said he had gone to Mommy. Why is Atif coming with us? He can catch up with another plane?" Mami was astonished by Bram's decision. Because here Atif's position is only limited to Bram's personal bodyguard, he could have used another plane.

"No Mi, he has to come. Whatever the reason, Bram has thought well," said Bram. It turns out that Bram has not told who Atif is and what his duties are while with Prita.

Why should Bram keep it a secret? Whatever it is Bram must have had a good reason.

"it's okay" replied Mami.

Mr. Tio came again and told him that the group of doctors and Prita had left for the airport. And now it's time for Bram to go there too.

Mommy hugged me. Bram pulled my hand to follow him out of the house. Arriving on the front porch, there were already two cars waiting for passengers.

I'm touching Papi and Mami. When it was Bram's turn, he hugged me, kissed my cheeks, forehead and ruffled my bangs.

"I love you Zanu" whispered Bram in my ear.

The test!

I don't know why my tears are dripping, I think I'm too whiny.

"Eitz! You can't cry" Bram let go of his embrace.

I quickly wiped away the tears that had flowed, I did not want to be seen by the two Bram parents.

"Son Zanu, Papi and Mami say yes. Take care of yourself and thank you for filling the days with Mami's son, Bram. Bye Zanu" said Mami.

"Yes Mommy,"

Bram's parents immediately stepped away and got into the car, seeing they were driven by the driver. While the other car for Bram, he drives himself.

Bram started to turn around to get to his car. I quickly hugged her from behind. I don't think I can let Bram go who knows when he'll be back.

"It's Zanu, you forget me" Bram turned to me and he saw me crying.

Then Bram just went into his car without looking back at me. I know Bram can no longer handle his own feelings.

The two cars went out of the gate of Bram's house, heading to the airport.

"Good bye Kak" I said softly with a sobbing that had not stopped.
