Episode 67's

“What's up?” gibran asked, standing in front of Manira as if he could sense that Manira was in deep trouble.

“Already gone,” Manira crying, sad. He was very sorry that he died before he could realize his last wish of marriage.

“I'm sorry,” said Gibran while hugging Manira.

“Basic of a disobedient child! If you want to obey your wishes, all will not be like this,” faint sound of mother who had cursed and blamed Manira for this incident.

“I'm this... evil right,” Manira blames herself. “Why can't I stop loving her?” Manira herself lamented why she couldn't move her heart for someone else.

“No human being is perfect. Which is always trying to be better and better. You are also trying to do it..” replied Gibran comforting Manira.

“I just want to be a good person. I want everyone to be happy. Why is it so hard? Why are so many people hurt???” Manira did not stop blaming herself.

“Calm down, everything will be fine,”

I don't want to be a stinging bee

I don't want to be a snake

I don't want to be the knife that can hurt

I just want to be the flower that gives fragrance

Manira cries in Gibran's arms. Gibran secretly salutes, amazed by Manira's loyalty to his lover which makes him ignore everything other than waiting for only one person. Gibran began to believe that loyalty was still there, that sincerity was still there. At the very least, his assumption of betrayal as Juragan Damar and his mother had, was not entirely true. There are still certain people in this world who have genuine feelings that no one like Manira can replace.

Tutttt....

Nine o'clock train's coming. The rumbling sound of a loud train with a vibration that was quite felt at the station, greeted Manira with fear. The glare of the sharp train lights dazzled Manira's eyes. For the first time, Manira hopes the train does not come soon. For the first time he hoped the train tonight would come late until tomorrow morning. Because she was afraid that after tonight, she would lose her love for good. He had already decided that if his lover did not come tonight, he would stop waiting for her. Even though it is heavy, he will live it. Married to the Imam is probably the best because it is the last wish of the abah that becomes a will for him after the abah is gone for good.

Jezzzzz. The black old carriage stopped right in front of Manira. Gibran also looked towards the carriage. He also wondered if this time Manira's lover would actually appear? Dozens of passengers disembarked, huddled in tears with their families who had not seen each other for a long time. There was the crisp laughter of the little boy that his father was holding who had just come from out of town. There's a smile of happiness. All boisterous with their respective busyness. There was laughter, there was crying for those who let go of their beloved to go with the train tonight.

Not far from Manira were lovers who were also extending their hands to each other. The young man reached out his hand from the top of the carriage while his lover stood outside the carriage with a sad face. A farewell that no one will ever know whether to be reunited or not. Seeing them, made Manira slice, remembering the departure of her lover in the same way a few years ago. Leaving behind a promise to return that traps Manira in a life filled with waiting that until now Manira is still always waiting for.

Seriate...
