The Debt

The payment of Ratih's last debt to Krishna weighed heavily on him. But nothing could be done as Krishna insisted the money be returned by paying for his chosen lunch. 

Anmarah Ratih almost penetrated the crown because Krishna wanted to eat lunch with a net worth five thousand rupiah.

"When will my debt be paid off if this is how you're asking for it?" Omel Ratih's.

"Why are you suddenly so angry?"

"I want to pay off the debt to you as soon as possible and see what you've done to me."

"I didn't give you any extra flowers or anything. Why are you so burdened?"

"Alright, I'll accept your debt release offer. I can't take it anymore. Let's just say your last debt payment paid off, huh?"

"I'm sorry, I changed my mind." Sahut Kreshna with shady eyes.

"You mustn't go too far!" Shouted Ratih who began to feel emotion, "Well, this is the rest of your money after cutting lunch that has not reached a hundred thousand rupiah. You said I could put it anywhere I liked."

"I'm sorry, I was busy saying that. Moreover, you said it while I was struggling with my work."

"What do you mean?" Train inflamed.

"Pay lunch or I'll collect in the afterlife!"

"You?!" Ratih turned out of Krishna's room. Just leave it.

Ratih leaves Kreshna. Tranquilize himself.

His debt is less than one and a half million dollars more. He paid him not yet a hundred thousand.

Ratih ordered a bowl of meatballs for his lunch. Ordering sweet iced tea. Buy some lontong fruit contents oncom to be eaten with meatballs ordered. It usually helps her to temper her emotions. Restore his common sense.

Relax..relax..control your emotions! Take a deep breath and let it out….

Suddenly I had a very good idea. Unknowingly a smile slanted from his lips.

After finishing his lunch. Train back to Kreshna's room.

"Do you still want to take me and Tintan on the road?" Ask Ratih.

"Do you have time?" Ask Kreshna back.

"It just so happens that this weekend is empty." Radih.

"OK."

"But there are conditions." Continue Ratih, "Make my debt repayment."

"You mean?" Ask Kreshna.

"I will pay for the ticket and the lodging as repayment of my debt to you. How's it?" 

"Can." Answer Kreshna.

"OK."

Ratih's face shone. He finally paid off his debt.

"We're both going?" Sahut Kreshna's.

"Take Tintan. My debt payment is just enough to pay for your ticket and lodging. Let Tintan's ticket pay me. You'll room with Tintan." Tukas Ratih's.

"alright. It's up to you."

Ratih decided to finish everything as soon as possible.

Train to see a selection of interesting tourist attractions for them to visit. Of course according to the budget of money borrowed from Kreshna.

Looks like an interesting water game. The inn is also a natural nuance. Woody. Clean and comfortable.

Choose a flight that costs more tilted so that it fits the budget. He buys one extra ticket for Tintan, reluctant to go alone with Krishna. If something happens later that you want? Upps!

Ratih did not feel comfortable walking alone with Krishna especially when they failed to get married and did not want to open all the old wounds were also disappointed.

He tried to heal himself and open his heart to others.

I'd better start over with someone completely new. What happens between me and Krishna will be a lesson. And if it is equally suitable just get married so that there is not too much drama.

May, as soon as I recover from all the traumas, God will send a man who is very loyal, loves me, soulmates and always together in joy and sorrow. True love. Eternal forever!

Faithful, understanding and patient….

Train was reading a magazine when the bell rang. Opening the door and Krishna stood developing his smile.

"What do you need?" Ask Ratih.

"Sorry, but it's night."

The clock shows at seven o'clock.

"Can I come in?"

Ratih nodded his head, "Don't be long. It's night, tomorrow we have to work. You're alone too. I don't want to be next door neighbor to prick."

"Just calm down." Kreshna went inside the house and sat on the living room sofa.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Whatever."

Practice making a glass of warm sweet tea. Presents a plate of vegetable bakwan made by himself.

"Have you eaten?"

"Not yet." Sahut Kreshna grinning.

"Want to eat now? I'm cooking lodeh, parchment and shrimp balado."

"It looks good."

"Would you eat first?"

"Later. I'm gonna take a break. Enjoy your warm sweet tea and vegetable bakwan. It looks good."

"What are you looking for me for?"

Krishna drank his warm sweet tea. Picking bakwan greens with cayenne pepper.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Ask while chewing bakwan and biting cayenne pepper.

"I didn't mean to avoid you but I felt that our friendship was toxic."

"You're happy to exaggerate problems. Misunderstanding is common. Communicated openly."

"Communicate openly, what? You cornered me."

"You don't have to be reactive when I'm emotional?"

"Whatchu mean? You're being reactive and I should just shut up?"

"If we are both reactive. We're gonna be like pop corn."

"We are like pop corn. We shouldn't be in one pan."

"I don't want you to be overdone. We make up, huh?"

"I'm lazy with the drama of our friendship."

"The misunderstanding must exist. We can't avoid that."

"I know but if it's repeated.  Long time very disturbing. Like when I jealous you with Alicia. I don't want to be like that anymore."

"I don't mind you hating Alicia. I can understand just what I find hard to accept, why don't you trust me? Why would I go after you if I wanted Alicia?"

"Where do I know? You yourself why do you bully Bima and can't believe me?"

Kreshna fell silent, "I think I'm selfish. I can only understand something from my own perspective, not someone else's. I can't trust you with Bima either. You got the point!"

"You yourself are aware that our relationship is toxic."

"I don't know how to explain it. I want us to stay friends and get to know each other better."

"I'll think. Don't press me. I myself am also ambigue and confused."

"Take your time. Please, don't leave me and abondon us. Don't make any predijuce that make everything become wise. If we don't mean each other. At least we can decide something that won't make us regret. But if we avoid, we think that we can make it when we are doing it right."

"I don't know. I am not sure."

"Please be with me, until we can decide what is the best for both of us."

Ratih looked at Kreshna with a gamang. Their relationship felt very difficult to live and made him almost desperate. But the word of Krishna is also true. If they don't live it until the last blood. They will regret and regret it. It is different if they go to the end. There is no curiosity because they have lived it until the final.

"How about we eat first?" Tanya Ratih, "My stomach is hungry. I haven't eaten yet. Go home from work, I'll relax. Shower and read."

"A good idea. I want to taste your cooking too."

They ate while chatting and were occasionally immersed in each other's thoughts.
