LOVE NARA

2.20. FORCED TO SEPARATE

"How are you doing, Ra? Any post-curettage complaints yesterday?" ardi asked while moving the transducer he was holding over Nara's lower abdomen.

"Nothing, Doc. Everything is fine" Nara answered briefly.

"And the condition of your womb is fine. Clean and healthy." Ardi finishes his examination and leaves Nara to tidy up the clothes aided by Bunga, his wife.

Despite being pregnant, Bunga still wants to work and accompany her husband in the clinic. She did not want to just stay home waiting for her husband to go home to work.

After Nara's clothes came back neat, they went out and joined the husbands who had already sat on the sofa.

"My wife wants to get pregnant again soon." Yoga tells Ardi about Nara's wishes.

"It doesn't matter as long as your reproductive organs are both healthy."

Nara seemed happy to hear Ardi's reply. That means she and her husband are allowed to immediately carry out a pregnancy program..

"Before coming back here, we both had an examination with Doctor Alya and we were both declared healthy" Nara explained.

Ardi felt a small tremor in the corner of his heart when he heard the name of his former lover mentioned by Nara.

He tried to be as calm as possible because his wife was there. Ardi didn't want to make Bunga think anything of himself.

Meanwhile, Bunga is acting ordinary even though she knows about her husband and Alya's past.

He does not suspect Ardi because the man also told about his meeting with Alya when he came to Nara two months ago.

"Then, there's nothing to worry about anymore. Next month you can start naturally."

Nara looks more enthusiastic than her husband. Yoga could only smile watching his wife's attitude.

Although still worrying about his wife's psychic condition, but he can not resist the desire of Nara who desperately wants her pregnancy.

After Yoga and Nara returned from the clinic, Ardi and Bunga immediately went home. The condition of the contents of the wife who has entered the seventh month makes her very careful to maintain and monitor it at all times.

"Mas, you wanna take a shower?" ask Bunga while preparing a change of clothes for herself and her husband.

"Bring first, honey. I'll check the clinic report for a second."

The flower complies and goes into the bathroom, leaving her husband, who then takes her laptop and sits on the bed.

Instead of opening his job report, Ardi instead daydreams of someone whose shadow is currently passing through his mind.

"Al, why do I think of you again? Even though I never thought of you before ...."

Only hearing once the name Alya mentioned before him, now Ardi's mind became fixed on the figure of the woman who used to fill his heart so deep and full.

"If your parents' unilateral decision had not happened, we would have been living together by now, Al."

Not regretting what had happened, but Ardi just followed his current heart that suddenly wanted to reminisce with happy memories of their old togetherness.

"Are you happy with your marriage, Al? Why do you not have a baby yet? Did something happen to you or to your relationship?"

Since deciding to end their relationship properly, both Ardi and Alya deliberately cut the communication gap between them.

Ardi does not want to be called a bully if he is still in communication with the woman he once loved so much.

As with Alya, she also avoids meeting with the man to make it easier for them to let go of each other and forget.

And when they were briefly reunited that day, they deliberately did not exchange mobile numbers to avoid the possibility of continued communication between them.

"But why since hearing your name mentioned earlier, not even a second have I been able to remove your shadow from my mind this ...?!"

"I could not refuse their proposal, Di. So did Papa and Mama. Our family owes a lot to their family."

Alya sobbed in the arms of her lover, whom she soon had to let go for her obedience to her parents' decision.

"They were good friends of Papa and Mama, and they always helped our family's economic hardship. Even those who have financed my studies until the end of this day."

Ardi could only be silent while tightly hugging the body of the lover he loved so much. Tears that had welled up, began to blur his gaze.

"I didn't think they would propose to me to be the daughter-in-law of their family. I think they've thought of me like their own child and will forever be like that. But it turns out ...."

The woman sobbed even tighter until Ardi also shed his tears.

"Honestly I'm not willing to let you go, Al. I know you are the same. But I can what? Your parents have made up their minds and have accepted their proposal."

They both shed the same tears of sadness. The cry full of grief and grief because their love must end and run aground.

"Now you have become the future daughter-in-law of another family. You've become another man's future wife. I have to back off. I gotta get away, Al. Not just me, but us. We should forget each other."

Ardi was trying to keep thinking clearly with his common sense. He did not want to ruin everything with his petty thoughts. He must succumb, succumbing to the circumstances and destiny of their love.

"Can I ask you one more thing, Al?" pinta Ardi as they stretch each other's arms and stare at each other with a soft look.

"Just say, Di. Before we part, just tell us everything." Alya's voice shook withstanding the cry that was still suffocating her chest.

"After this farewell, promise to always be happy. Be happy for my sake because that is all I hope for, the happiness of the woman I love so much. Though happiness is no longer with me."

Alya's tears spilled more and more, soaking all her face that had been reddened, full of sadness and resignation."

He saw the face of the man he loved so much. The face was soaked with tears, just like her.

"If that's what you want, I'll do it, Di. But you have to promise me the same. Be happy always, with whom you will live together."

The two of them finally promised each other and agreed to live happily even though they no longer had each other.

They will be happy with their respective spouses, with someone who is destined to hdup with them, replacing their existence with each other which originally filled the space of their hearts.

The parting they didn't want was finally real. And from then on, Ardi and Alya drifted away from each other and lived their own lives and happiness.
