Episode 34


The man's staitmen further amazed Manira. A perfect man for all women around the world to dream of. Not only his good looks and success but also his wisdom and his extraordinary authority. The more you know about the man makes the inner Manira shrunk. He felt that the man was flying too high that he could not reach him anymore.


Sometimes I'm afraid to look at the sky because it's too high


Sometimes I don't dare look at the stars because they're too bright


I could only stand here, looking at his shadow from within the water


The phrase heart poem that appeared in Manira's mind illustrates that she is increasingly feeling away from her lover. A lover who has transformed into a big star with all his success. He is surrounded by great and intelligent people. Manira felt that she was a nobody and did not deserve to accompany the man anymore. Manira cries between the pleasure of seeing her lover's success and the fear of not being able to get it back.


Manira and the man were sitting in a restaurant, on a sunny morning. In front of them was toast and warm coffee. Manira, who was always beautiful in her white dress, looked sad even though her lover was now in front of her. A super handsome and super rich man, wearing a maroon shirt with a warm smile was sitting in front of him but Manira was still agitated.


“I love you too much,” Manira said while stirring her coffee. “But sometimes, love also needs logic. Go awayl. Find another woman who is more worthy of you,” continued Manira who felt inferior to circumstances that are not comparable to her lover who has everything.


The man just smiled, looking at Manira with great love. Slowly Manira's tears trickled down.


“Because you are too perfect until I can no longer reach you,”


“If someday I'm with another woman, won't you feel pain?”


“Sure to hurt,”


“Will you not regret your decision?”


“Don't do it later, now I'm so sorry. I dare not even for a second imagine if someday you will be with another woman,” replied Manira, back to tears. “But this is the best for you. Because you deserve to be happy,”


“I will not leave you,” replied the man, holding Manira's hand.


“Can't you just once be the bad guy so I can stop loving you?” ask Manira.


His heart was really agitated. On one hand, she felt that her lover was already too far away from her. He was very successful and had everything. Manira no longer felt worthy to be with him. She knew that if she was with her lover then she would only make her lover ashamed and burdened. For that, he was eager to release his lover. She wants to stop loving her lover and let her lover be with another woman who is more worthy of her. But it can't. Manira loves him too much.


“Manira... Manira...” heard a voice shouting to Manira.


Manira's awake. Ahufh!!! He took a deep breath, feeling relieved because it was all just a dream. Even in a dream, he was very afraid of losing his girlfriend. Not for a second or a moment. She can't imagine losing her lover because Manira loves her too much. He saw that there was a lot of distance between them, but Manira still could not let go.
