Magic Lantern

Magic Lantern

Arriving at the home of Rath. Ratih looked at Krishna restlessly. He is happy with Kreshna's surprise and proposal but hesitates. Doubt their relationship exactly.

With a gloomy feeling he stared at the lantern made of paper and stared in confusion.

"What is this for?"

"Your birthday gift."

"Whylamons?"

"In it are three pieces of paper and you can write down three requests that I will fulfill for you."

"I think about it, how?"

"All right…."

After Krishna died, Ratih thought hard about the three requests he would make to Krishna.

He wrote down all three of his requests and put them back into the lantern that Krishna would take the next day.

Krishna opened the three pieces of paper in the lantern.

He frowned, "you just asked for this?"

Ratih nodded his head.

"Faithful, understanding and patient?"

"Rubber."

"All right…."

Time pass. Day after day their sweet relationship begins to change.

They plan to marry a year later after Krishna proposes to her by the beach and gives her a beautiful ring as a sign of their relationship.

The engagement will take place a month before the wedding.

The closer their marriage gets, the more tense they become.

Ratih gets closer to Bima because she wants to prepare for her future after marriage.

The business he pioneered with Bima is one of his future plans.

While Krishna who does not want his relationship with Ratih to be tense the closer to Alicia spilled all thoughts and complained all the things that might be shared with Ratih will actually cause tension.

Jealousy and suspicion also still covered their relationship.

Although their relationship moves forward towards engagement and marriage but in terms of quality, their relationship does not change at all, it only gets worse.

They met less and less often and the tension colored their relationship.

"Where have you been?" Ratih put the tea cup and setoples kesilan kesfna favorite snack.

"I'm very busy! I'm sorry!"

One day, Ratih was surprised by the sudden arrival of Krishna.

"Where have you been?"

"What kind of question is that? Don't you miss me?"

"Sit down! You look so tired."

Ratih serves a cup of warm sweet tea and banana sponge that Bima brought yesterday.

Krishna drank his tea and looked at Ratih in surprise.

"When have I eaten banana balls?"

"Sorry, you don't like bananas. I forgot! But I have no other food. You came suddenly!"

"Can't really?"

"It is not so but all the food in the house is made of bananas. Bolu banana, banana chips, fried banana, bolen banana."

"You prepared everything for me?"

Ratih fell silent and Krishna's face stiffened.

"Whose favorite food? You usually don't always provide my favorite food?"

"You don't have to exaggerate the problem. It's just a matter of food you make a fuss."

"I don't like bananas and you know that. Did you also turn into a banana maniac?"

"You came just for the storm?"

"I'm just asking, whose favorite food?"

"Where have you been? With who? Is it true that you only work from Monday to Sunday? Don't need friends to chat and share?"

"Why did you switch the conversation?"

"Why do you always provoke a commotion? Fussing over something that doesn't matter?"

"It's not a problem you say? If only we were married and all the food in the house wasn't my favorite but someone I hated so much?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't you answer my question. Whose favorite food?"

"I don't want to answer but I'm afraid your reaction doesn't make sense."

"You just answer me!"

"I can explain!"

"So right, right?"

"What really?"

Krishna got up from his seat.

"Where are you going?" ask Ratih.

"Allen!"

They're back away from each other. Time pass. Train himself keeps his ring in the box and chooses not to wear it.

Their relationship development is very sad. He chose to focus on his future. Romance only shackles his mind especially with all the misunderstandings, jealousy, suspicion and tension that are so exhausting.

If I get married, I want to be happy not to languish let alone always be on the edge of a tempest between Alicia, Bima and the two of them....

Ratih was pleased with the progress of the business he pioneered with Bima. He began to feel the fruit.

The tension of the relationship between the two of them is. He forgot Krishna's birthday.

They had a big fight and the prize he left to Bima because he did not have time to buy it made everything more runyam.

Time that does not allow for him to immediately fly in front of Krishna made him forced to ask for help to Bram, Bima's friend to drive him because it is impossible for him to ask Bima to take him along will make Kreshna more angry.

"You forgot my birthday? After this what else are you gonna forget?"

But cracked tusks will not be able to reconnect so anything done to glue is useless.

"I don't like this? Why can't you ever know what I like and what I don't. You want to give me a gift? Not just the ones you like? You want to gift yourself or what? You're not as attentive as you used to be!"

"You yourself are also very busy!"

"I disagree with you?"

"When do you agree with me?"

"You've changed a lot."

"Who is he? Are you playing crazy?"

They often fight and fight.

"I don't believe in our relationship."

"I have a request."

"Whatis that? You want to break up?"

"You want to break up?"

"Why are you asking me back?"

"I thought you wanted it. I can't stand everything."

"I don't want to argue with you. Do you remember the request that was in the lantern?"

"Ah yes, of course…."

"I want you to make it happen for me."

"Now?"

"One more century? Yes, now it is…."

Fulfilling the three requests is not easy for Krishna because it means he begins to have to learn to reject his closeness to the opposite sex which often makes Ratih feel jealous.

"You're so arrogant now…." Alicia is one of her most exciting and fun girlfriends.

Kreshna was silent.

"Usually you're the most passionate and enthusiastic why now are you always there any reason to refuse?" 

"I'm not in the mood. You can go with the others."

"But not as you like."

"I'm sorry…."

Building understanding with Ratih is also not an easy thing because often what Ratih does is something that he does not agree with.

"Get it from my perspective."

"Why don't you understand me?"

"You promised and why did you ask me to fulfill three requests for you?"

"All right." Krishna answered with a heavy heart.

Their relationship was like climbing a very steep mountain and the hue of joy and happiness slowly disappeared.

Krishna again lost his patience.

"You need to be patient. You promised me."

"How about you exchange your request for my life back in color?"

"Color how do you mean?"

"You demand perfection whereas nothing is perfect."

"You mean my requests are so excessive?"

"I'm not an angel or a human being who never goes wrong."

"Don't for that reason you keep hurting me."

"Why can't we forgive each other and live our relationship like before?"

"Sorry, I can't…."

"Return the lantern to you. Here's toyou. Give it to someone who can realize all your wishes. May you be happy." Kreshna offers a cd to Ratih.

Kiss the Rain by Yiruma

....

I never had your love

I never had your love

And I never will

And I'll never get it

And every night

And every night

Lie awake

I lay down

Thinking maybe you love me

Thinking maybe you love me

Like I’ve always loved you

Like I always loved you

But how can you love me like I loved you

But how can you love me like I love you

When you can’t even look me straight in my eyes

When you can't even look me in the eye

I’ve never felt this way

I've never felt this 

To be so in love

So in love

To have someone there

Have someone there

Yet feel so alone

But still feel alone

Aren’t you supported to be

Shouldn't you be

The one to wipe my tears

Someone who wipes my tears?

The one to say that you would never leave

So someone who said you'd never leave

The waters calm and still

The water is calm and silent

My reflection is there

My shadow is there

I see you holding me

I see you're holding me

But then you were rejected

But then you disappeared

....

Although your heart is mine

Even though your heart is mine

It’s hollow inside

(However) in it (feels) empty 

I never had your love

I never had your love

And I never will

And I'll never get it

So why am I still here in the rain

That's why I'm still here, in the rain
