Magic Lantern

Preparation

Kreshna specifically bought new clothes and pants for Ratih's birthday. He called Ratih.

"You're not going anywhere today!"

"Where are you going?"

"We're buying clothes for your birthday tomorrow."

"Not to overdo it! It's just a birthday."

"Your birthday this time is very special. We made up and I don't want any more fights afterwards. Like you said. I don't want it like oil and water. Never again!"

Ratih broke his promise with Bima.

"I'm sorry, Bim... Kreshna asked me to buy clothes today for my birthday tomorrow."

"I'm disappointed actually because I thought we could celebrate your birthday a day sooner?"

"I'm sorry! Did I call Kreshna to say I can't be with her later?"

"Don't! You just made up with him. Don't ruin the mood."

"That's what's on my mind too!"

"We can celebrate later after your affair with Kreshna is over?"

"All right! Thank you for your understanding!"

"I love you so much. Not wanting to confuse and doubt you. What makes me comfortable, I do too. What makes you happy, I am happy too. What makes you calm, I'm calm too."

"Thank you, Bim! But I can't give you any certainty!"

"I believe in God's hands. Certainty is not with me or you or Krishna but with God. Certainty belongs to Him. If He predestines you for me, He will give and open and ease the way for me, but if He is never destined to mate with you. As hard as I try. For whatever time I wait. God will never open your heart and your way to me. So you just calm down, okay?"

The cry of Ratih exploded.

"You don't cry, dong, baby...."

"I feel you're too good for me!"

"Don't cry, baby...."

"I was bad to you when you were so good to me. Can't repay the kindness. Milk in tubal water!"

"You're not evil! All has its times and its destinies. Don't cry anymore, will you?"

Kreshna rang the bell of Ratih's house. Ratih opened the door and was surprised to see Kreshna who looked even paler and thinner.

His eyes shone with longing.

Ratih's eyes warmed up and he cried.

"You why? Did I hurt you?"

Ratih shook his head.

"You why?" ask Ratih to Krishna.

"I'm fine!" Krishna looked at the girl in front of him very closely.

"Your face is pale like a lack of sleep and your weight is like shrinking!" Tears of Ratih dripped back.

"I'm busy! I have a lot of work to do. You don't think no-no!"

"I'm sorry if I made a mistake with you but I really can't accept your attitude and the way you treat me!" Ratih is still insistent with his stance.

"Easy! I don't want to fight! I want to fix everything, instead of fighting with you! No one cooks food for me so I often forget to eat. There was no one to remind me to rest. Obviously my weight shrank my face pale sleep deprivation!"

"God! You right! I'm mad at you and don't remember sending you food. I won't call you because I don't want you to think I'm begging for your attention!"

"Eitherway! What happened to us! Nevermind! Don't talk about it anymore! Are you ready?"

Ratih nodded his head.

"We're leaving now, aren't we?"

Ratih nodded his head.

They choose matching clothes that will be used tomorrow.

There was no quarrel and they enjoyed the moment the two of them were at ease.

Done shopping they ate at their favorite place both of them.

They ate their lunch happily, peacefully and safely.

"I'll keep my promise we'll never fight again!" Kreshna grabbed Ratih's hand and kissed him affectionately with all her feelings.
