Magic Lantern

Almost Done

Kreshna's work is almost done. He focused his concentration so that he could more quickly complete his task.

Ratih himself has lived his days as before. Spend time with friends on weekends.

Spend the night alone. Enjoying the distance he made with Kreshna.

Distance makes everything go back to how it was. Their relationship is very difficult to continue or start again. They are like oil and water. Their relationship is also toxic. Fatiguing.

"I'll finish my task soon and return to the center." Kreshna.

"Yes, I'm happy with your success."

"All because of the support of all employees.  Not myself."

"You're humbling. But nevermind! I'm glad your work's finally done."

"I've thought of everything."

"Think what?"

"You're right. I don't think I can force something that's been hard to do in the first place."

"I'm glad you finally agree with me."

"It's not easy to accept your view. But I think you're right. I have one request."

"What's that?"

"Regarding your last debt repayment. You'll book the inn and everything. After everything is done. I want us to make up and have a farewell. At least we split up in good condition. How's it?"

"All right, I'll reset it."

"I don't want Tintan coming with us either. I want to talk to you from heart to heart. You don't mind, do you?"

"alright. I'll cancel the ticket for Tintan."

"I want to apologize to you too."

"No need! I also have a share. As long as we have one mind and one decision.  I'm so grateful."

"I want you to know. I didn't mean not to fight for our relationship."

"I knew. You don't have to think much. What we need is not something that will make us more confused. We both need space. Maybe you need to meet and get to know someone else. Which may be more appropriate and can make everything lived without burden."

"Yeah! Love doesn't always have to have."

"Rubber. I concur. There is something to fight for and something to fight for. For example, we want to make sweet tea. If we are salt then it is impossible to make sweet tea with salt. Salty tea is called."

"I can't digest your words."

"No need to digest. Simply believe that everything must have a silver lining."

"I want you to know too. I didn't want to meet you on purpose."

"Yeah! I-i know. It was all unintentional. I also apologize for thinking that you didn't appreciate my wishes. I need some calm. You too, right?"

"Yeah!"

"We can be friends or friends. If it makes us more positive and comfortable. We can be ourselves without guilt."

"Yeah!"

"I can invite you to your wedding and vice versa."

"Stop! It's already crossed the line. I don't want to see you on my wedding day. If you don't mind. I didn't mean to be rude."

"to be honest. I don't want to invite you either. I'm afraid I'll be cute."

The kontan they laugh.

"How about I bring you some salty tea?" Sahut Kreshna silly.

"Don't forget to bring a tensimeter. It could be that I'm not a membrane but a stroke."

They're back laughing.

"Maybe our capacity is to be friends. But friends who fall for each other are more complicated than people who engage in love triangles."

"Yeah!"

"I've tried to like others. But why do I always think of you." Sahut Kreshna's.

"Is it because I owe you?"

Kontan Kreshna.

"If your debt can not be paid off."

Kreshna's laughter exploded.

"Not funny, Kresh!"

"Funny, baby…."

"No! And don't call me baby!"

"Why can't I call you baby?"

"If we find someone else. It's not funny that I'm called darling here and there."

Kreshna's laughter is breaking.

"I think what makes me unable to turn away is the magic of thinking."

"What do you mean?"

"You like to assume and imagine. If you already have a lover, I can't call you dear! I still love my life."

Ratih's turn chuckled, "Why don't I think up there?"

"Maybe because you're paranoid?"

"You think you think I'm a bitch?"

"If you're jealous. Or thinking negatively. I felt short of breath and didn't know what to do. And you're such a bitch when you're like that."

"If you're acting the same way I'm not?"

Kontan both chuckled.

"I want to ask you something but I'm afraid you're angry."

"What's that?"

"I'll ask you later if we're going on vacation together as a sign of our separation. I want our breakup to really end as well and sweetly as possible."

"You'll find someone who makes you comfortable."

"You too!"

"Yes, I hope we'll both find a partner who can make us comfortable."

"If we can find each other's partners. Can we have an affair?"

Ratih's eyes dodged and Krishna grew increasingly chuckling with his stomach.

"Who knows we're not fit to be a couple but a clop to be an affair?"

"Oh no! You don't fuck around."

"I'm just wondering. Even if we cheat we won't break the boundaries."

"But it can still hurt each other's partners. I wouldn't take you if you divorced your wife."

Kreshna's laughter exploded again, "I'll miss you." Sahut Kreshna looked straight at Ratih, "To be honest, I'm happy to see you again even if accidentally. I thought I'd lose you forever."

"I never thought I'd see you again." Said Ratih honestly.

"I don't think God wants us to be apart." Kreshna.

"You know that's not true. We just got caught by accident."

"Yes, you've always avoided me. I don't understand."

"Our relationship has made me doubtful. I'm not sure we can get through that well. I don't want to be heartbroken or disappointed."

"No one wants to be heartbroken or disappointed but if not lived later it will even make curious."

"What wonder? What if even later we can not determine the path of life that we will live? We can't get married because each of us has doubts. But we can't find anyone else either? Or change partners?"

"Life is full of uncertainty. Just walk it all as it is. Don't think too much. Uncertainty is also certainty."

"What do you mean?"

"You work for money. For example, you sell. Can you confirm the outcome?"

"Of course not. Estimate maybe but make sure? Can't do. Estimates are also not necessarily in accordance with what we predict."

"So is the soul mate. We will know too. But it must be worked on first. As long as no boundaries are broken. Shouldn't be in question. Just as people try and work as long as they don't commit a crime shouldn't be in question."

"I thought still. I can't accept all your arguments. Sounds like justification and uncertainty."

"Women always want certainty when life itself is uncertain."
