Loving Your Own Friend

MensahSen Episode 41

A few days passed. While I was in the study, my phone rang.

"What's Er?" ask when the phone is connected.

"Hurry up and see my message!" ernan said and immediately turned off the phone.

I shook my head and immediately saw a message from him, afraid that something important was going on.

I was surprised when I saw a message from Ernan, he sent a wedding photo of someone, both brides were showing off their sweet dijari rings each.

So shocked I was that the phone I was holding slipped out of my hand, and the phone fell on the floor. I still can't believe what I just saw. My eyes looked to the left of the table, looking at a picture frame, a picture of me with a friend I love, a photo of when we were in High School. Over time my vision began to blur, I felt my brain was not functioning so I could not think anything, I felt this room as not oxygenated, stuffy and make the chest tight.

I remember the invitation I put on the dresser a few days ago, because I haven't seen or read the invitation yet. Is that an invitation from Arka?

Until suddenly, the sound of knocking on the door awakened me. Sari came in and quickly walked towards me.

"Partner, why are you? Your face is very pale" asked Sari with her hands patting my cheeks.

"It's okay, sister, I'm just not feeling well" I replied by holding Sari's hand.

"We better go to the doctor. Let me deliver." said Sari worriedly.

"No brother, I'll be fine. May I ask my brother to take me home, I feel my body weak." I said softly.

Finally Sari delivered me, but before leaving, Sari put my things including the phone next to the chair into my bag.

On the way, Sari again offered to take me to the doctor to check on me, but I insisted on refusing that, I just want to get home and see the invitation that the man gave me.

Upon arrival at home, Sari's sister helped me to walk into the house, because my body was weak and powerless.

Mama panicked when she saw my deathly pale face, and asked Sari about what really happened.

Arriving inside the room, I lay on the bed and Sari began to tell her what she knew to mama. Of course he only knows if I'm sick, but he doesn't know what makes me sick.

When Mama and Sari came out of the room, I walked up to the dresser and picked up the invitation paper, then I went back to bed in a sitting position.

Slowly and with trembling hands I began to open the invitation, it turned out that the invitation was from Arka, Arka and Rika got married yesterday in town B, at Rika's house.

Tears dripped down the invitation, how could this happen, after Arka told me to wait for her to return, it turned out to be all I got.

My chest is tight and sick, this is the end of it all, the end that broke me because my hope to be together with Arka was dashed. Now the Ark belongs to another with a sacred bond.

Was it from the beginning only I who considered more all the attention and treatment of Arka to me. Is Arka not destined for me, is Arka is not my soul mate.

I cried all the time in my room, no matter if my mom or anyone else heard me, my heart is so broken right now, a reality I never really imagined before.

Not knowing how long I was crying, when I realized, I was lying on the bed, there was also a mama and Ernan who were staring at me.

Mama said if I was unconscious under the bed with a prone position.

"What's going on, baby, why are you?" I asked my mother crying and holding my hand.

I did not answer, finally Ernan opened his voice and said if maybe I was like this because Arka was married.

Mama was surprised to hear Ernan's words, and she immediately hugged me by saying that I should be patient.

I cried again in my mother's arms, while Ernan showed a dislike face, then he said he would meet Arka to ask for an explanation. But I immediately prevented his intention, I did not want to ruin his happiness, let everything be like this, maybe this has become the destiny for my life.
