Magic Lantern

Luka

Love always causes hurt. I can only speak without making it all real.

Only able to promise without being able to fulfill let alone prove the promise that has been engraved.

The divine sign of power. Because that makes them able to realize the promise. Not their own efforts. But also must have divine permission.

A love that doesn't come down anywhere. Just make a wound. Makes you feel miserable. Your mind's tormented. Feelings hurt. Heart hurts.

Kreshna may be one of the owners of a lulling love.  Wanna have. Trying to promise but not divinely affirmed. Finally, a promise is only a promise.

Ratih was relieved to have given Krishna a play of love. His desire is only one. Life is calm, peaceful and prosperous. 

Hope Krishna's work is done quickly. So that they can return to their own lives.

Love is happy. Not wounds. Not nestapa either. Especially suffering. 

I want to be happy not miserable. Ratih was determined in his heart.

The ring that Krishna gave them was not able to bind them in marriage. What is the taste stored for if it only reminds him of the pain he feels?

Just mirages. Which makes them both miserable. Despondently. Flavored. Without being able to get anywhere. False hope. It all ultimately depends on God.

Train back to work as usual. Spend time with friends on the weekends. Avoiding Krishna as much as possible.

Love is not just saying the word but doing beyond the word

Feeling more than the character

Meaning beyond taste

All the time more faithful

Immortality of taste

That's all you can't

And want to talk love?

What kind of love do you offer if only

Sipping grief

Take a wound

From the cup you call love?

His friends also opened up their thinking.

"Maybe he thinks you don't deserve to be his wife."

Ratih was pensive to hear the words of his friends.

He did not tell me that the person he was telling was Krishna. 

"Can be. I don't want to be played either. If she felt she didn't deserve to take me as a wife. No need to give false hope, right?"

"Just know! A lot of guys are being childish. They're actually immature. Be careful of those trapped in the body of an adult. They will eat the numbers. We got the gum."

"Yeah! I agree."

"Ambivalence?"

"That could too. But that's for sure. If something isn't meant for us there's a silver lining."

"Yeah!"

They exchanged stories. Ratih's story is nothing. There are many more painful stories about this problem.

"You're not much. Your lover is just confused but you have not harmed anything other than hanging up your relationship. But it's also very annoying and can hurt you too. Especially if you meet a better man? Of course you'd be hesitant if you wanted to hang like that. Even if you hear your story. He seems to be very attentive and take care of you. But maybe you're not fools."

"Yeah, beware of passions that are not put in place. Some are impregnated and unmarried. Married another woman."

"Berzina isn't a sin?" Ratih asked innocently greeted with laughter by his friends.

"indulgent sins. But his name is an adult. Many do not believe in sins. Or they assume they are old enough to sin."

The whole thing is laughing.

"There is degrading and insulting the woman he is dating. Enjoying her body without marrying her. Even told her to have an abortion while pregnant with her fetus."

"If you speak of this. There will be no end. How men attempt to manipulate and play women for their benefit."

"Who the hell are you telling me?" Diah suddenly asked Ratih. They gathered at Ratih's place as usual. Meet on Saturdays and stay until the next day.

Ratih closed his mouth tightly because he did not want things to get out of control. He and Krishna are not a match. Just that so there is no need for the story to be exaggerated. They do not do things that are forbidden by religion or violate the rules of immoral and moral norms.

Their relationship was sad. Forcing something that may never be destined for both of them. Weddings. 

Love does not always mean marriage. The soul mate caused a sense of tranquility whereas the two of them had many things that could make their relationship like a Molotov cocktail.

Destroy their relationship at any time. No one wants their marriage to end in divorce. It would be even more complicated if they had children. Or realize their incompatibility. Then they meet other people who have a match with them. It could be that their marriage will be overshadowed by betrayal.

All these considerations make them delay and hesitate to continue their relationship to the guarantee. But they also find it hard to shake the love they feel right now. If only love could be erased, maybe the situation would be easier for everyone.

In the end, many people are forced to accept they can not be together despite mutual love. Because the soul is in the hands of God, not of man.

Their topic turned to gossip. Tell each other the sad stories about men's irritability. Starting who are single to those who are married.

"Sometimes I don't think it out. What's on a man's mind? Do you believe women can seduce men?"

"If the man doesn't want to? Of course it can't."

"Can men tempt women? If the woman doesn't want to?"

"I thought, just take the saying. Sell it, I buy it."

"Yeah! No one sells if they don't buy. Nobody buys if nobody sells."

"How about, it takes two to tango?"

"At least be wise in dealing with something. As long as it's not rape. All of this is done on the basis of the consent of both. Defending one party and blaming the other is not wise. Next to weight."

Sunday night was getting better. Because besides gossiping. They also make some kind of game.

Guessing songs. Guessing pictures. The loser will dance or sing. Or tell a funny story.

Amanda was in charge of making the snack that night. Making bakwan, tofu fill and fried bananas. Sprinkle green cayenne pepper on it as a complement.

Diah makes warm sweet tea as a complement. Train yourself to remove the newly cooked brownies from the oven. A brownie sprinkled with almonds on it.

"Hmm..Eat our good!" Dira yells happily.

"The frying is still hot and looks soft!" Mirna.

"Added a warm sweet tea. It fits, right?" Timpal Amanda approved the other.

When they spend time together. It was a time of healing them all from the tiredness of life.

Dira and Diah who are married are very grateful their husbands understand it. Amanda, Mirna and Ratih are single. 

Not every Sunday night they gather together especially Dira and Diah who have married they can not every Sunday night gather with his friends. Family remains their priority. But once a month to two months they took time to gather together.

Amanda and Mirna herself. If they don't have a show or don't have a boyfriend. They often visited Ratih's rented house and spent time together. Comfort themselves and drive away deserted.

And Ratih himself. If you are not with your friends. Prefer to spend time alone. Whether in his contract or walking alone. Shop for her needs or entertain herself by eating or watching alone.

Since the relationship ended with Krishna. Not interested in a relationship with anyone. Enjoying solitude and peace. No man no cry….

Precisely the head becomes cutbray because of the drama that often whack. People often try to dictate everything. Everything is often the secret of the universe.

Just go through it all. With a happy heart. That's the only secret.
