The Flashback

“I'll learn to love you Nia” Arief said a week after they got married because of Arief's late father's request. Nia simply answered that with a nod and her gentle smile. At that time she was still a plain and obedient 19-year-old girl whose parents were paired with a simple man like Arief.

Their wedding days went well like any other happy marriage. Nia is a kind and sincere wife. Arief does not deny that, until this moment there is not one mistake or bad that Arief can from Lia as a woman, even a wife, regardless of her young age, therefore, he also tried to be a good husband, even though in his heart he felt saturation. Moreover, his heart that has not been able to forget his former lover, the more torture Arief alone.

“I left first ya” Pamit Arief after swallowing the last sip of coffee made by Nia.

“Iya mas” answered Nia while extending her hand. Arief welcomed it well. It has become their good habit every Arief will go to work every morning.

Riding his motorcycle, Arief walked down the streets of Jakarta. Either the focus is being disturbed or someone else is not careful. Out of his control, Arief's motorcycle grazes a girl who suddenly emerges from a small alley. Arief rushed down anxiously. The girl's long hair unraveled covering part of her face. The girl grimaced touching her injured leg.

“Mbak sorry I didn't see. Let me help” Ringisan the girl was heard to stop as Arief's voice was panicking and offering help. His head quickly looked up and shook his long hair, making his face now clearly visible in Arief's eyes. Arief's body, which had initially been slightly bent, was now gradually vertical slowly with rounded eyes. And so was the girl sitting on the ground. His eyes were similarly round looking at Arief.

In a small restaurant, they sat facing each other in silence. After that Arief bought antiseptic drugs, plasters and other P3K tools that may be needed. The girl sitting in front of Arief lowered her gaze on Arief's right and left hands folded on the table. He could see that there was a silver ring around his ring finger.

“You're married?” The girl's voice pulled Arief's head back to look at her. Wrongly he tried to answer after glancing at his right hand and thinking this small round object was the cause of the question just now.

“Ehmm.. I-iya” Can Arief see the head of the girl in front of him nod.

“3 months after you got married” Her head seemed to nod again.

“Means 3 months already yes now” This time Arief nodded. Silence took over again.

“You're happy Lia?” Arief asks the girl who turns out to be Lia, breaking the silence between them. Lia clenched, her lips still clenched but Arief read that there were many words that Lia had stored in her eyes.

“Why are you silent?” Arief asked again. Lia seemed to wake up from her daydream, her eyes restlessly staring back and forth.

“I want to go home, congratulations for your wedding” said Lia diverting. His body was already standing, but it was also about to step up, his hand was already held back by Arief.

“See you who dodged gini can I mean that the answer is you are not happy” A second later, Lia jerked her hand but Arief's hand link was not also released.

“Please mas! We were no relationship anymore” Can be heard the voice of Lia who began to rise up not like. Arief took off Lia's hand, but her body approached.

“Terms right you are not happy” Arief said again.

“I'm happy. Haven't you? Now I go first” Lia glanced with anxiety, because her hand had been held back again.

“But what I saw was not so” Arief said. With this close distance, Lia could feel the roar of Arief's warm breath.

Ohh no! If this is the case, Lia is weak. His gaze, his touch, his face and everything that was on Arief, Lia missed for 6 months. Looking at Lia's teary eyes, Arief raised his hand to Lia's shoulder.

“What.... You still love me?” Ask Arief hesitantly. They looked at each other inside.

“I still love you Lia. The more I try to forget you. I'm more and more tied to this love” That honesty is breaking down Lia's defenses. Holy hooch! Is it wrong if Lia wants to be honest if she feels the same way?
