First love

Two lovebirds sit on the right side of the bed. Silence without words as if stringing words to present together.

"Please Mas explain," said Rina again starting a conversation between them.

The night is heading towards its peak. They were dissolved in the silence that the Night had presented. Fused between the cold air.

"Nara's my underclassman on campus. Same with Niken. They're a happy family maybe even like a picture of a cypress family" said Alvin.

Lina gave the full time to Alvin. Listen carefully and try not to interrupt in the slightest.

Every now and then the shadow of the past rotates in Alvin's head. It feels real and distracts the mind. I want to run, but I can't. He had already entered half of the tower filled with memories.

Alvin breathed a rough sigh. "He was a good junior and close to me. In addition, he is also the son of Mr. Wira who is also my first customer in the boutique. We communicate often and are close to each other. The following year I graduated quickly. We rarely meet, but still communicate often."

Rina stretched out her chest for all the stories she thought would rip apart a soul. Either way, he needs to know what happened. It's not fair if Alvin knows his past, while men don't even want to share their past with his own wife.

alvin's chest is starting to cramp. Nara's name still exists, although it may not be as strong as it used to be. His position began to drift due to the presence of Rina. Alvin can't deny that.

"At that time I opened a boutique with little savings and expertise. The Narah family became the first and permanent customers. They often order clothes, both for formal and non-formal events. Moreover, Nara's father is not a random person," added Alvin.

The photo album was still in Rina's hands. Occasionally his eyes enjoyed the rest of the beauty from the photo of Almarhuma. Hopefully it can reveal everything.

Alvin took a deep breath. Exhales slowly. It was crazy to remember Nara. It was hard to tell, but for the sake of Rina all needed to be clear without being covered up.

"Then what does Mas Alvin have to do with this Nara? Sorry, are you guys in a serious relationship?" ask Rina. Apparently the woman could not wait to hear the continuation of the story until she asked according to her own estimates. "I'm curious," he added.

Alvin looked at Rina. Those curious eyes were indeed real, even he had only seen them now. "Nara often goes to the boutique on the sidelines of college. He also often brought lunch. We can be said to be good friends, but as we know that the opposite sex friendship always has love behind it."

Lina's hands started to tremble small. His mind is not wrong. Even his guess would not go off. There is a love story that may be hard to forget between Alvin and Nara. Sure as that.

"He's first love, Mas Alvin?" ask Rina.

Slowly Alvin's head nodded his head in a sign that Rina's question was correct as well.

Both of Rina's eyes grew bigger. Heart's beating. This is what it feels like to find a story on the figure of a loved one. A little bit of a wound, but it should still be heard to the end as well.

"We didn't have a relationship like other couples because I didn't like it, but I promised to propose to her on Nara's birthday." Alvin's face can't lie, it's sad. The rest of that love is still there, real and certainly difficult to shorten.

"Mas, if not strong story should just sleep. I can still wait," said the real Rina who obviously couldn't wait. Lying for good doesn't matter.

Alvin shook his head quickly. It had long been felt that the incident was rolling, but it turned out to still be able to weaken it. It's not fair for Lina. Judging Alvin is weak and unable to make peace with the past. Obviously this was not the same as his always firm attitude with strong principles.

Alvin smiled a little. The elusan on his back gave off an incredible spirit. It might be true if that someone could be the reason for us being strong. This is what Alvin feels now.

"Don't be forced, Mas. I don't want to see him depressed. In fact, the lie can be done in a stressful situation," said Rina.

This sentence does sound like the darkness of Rina's existence will be this masalaj. However, if examined more deeply. This sentence also contains a soft satire that says that Alvin could have lied when urged.

Alvin himself was determined to open up. However, Lina had the right to hear from her lips straight away. Whether it hurts or not, he will keep saying it.

"A month before her birthday, I made a red dress for Nara. It was I alone who determined the theme for the dress without Nara's knowledge. The intention is clear to present at the application later," said Alvin.

Rina's hand stopped stroking. Unraveling a smile to let Alvin know he was strong, even if the original wasn't. How not, behind the dress apparently has a sweet story that may exceed the current story. It could be said if Rina was envious at this moment. Wanting to be a beloved Nara is full of sincerity without the need to do a marriage that starts on the basis of silliness.

The reason that most made Rina feel that she was indeed inferior to Nara. Clearly, jealousy was present. Ah ... This is stifling as well.

"Just on September 23rd, Nara reaffirmed. I told his parents I would come to propose. They agree, but unfortunately Niken does not exist. He was already abroad from the beginning. Choosing a career as a model rather than college," continued Alvin.

"Then?" asked Rina to want to know again. There is still something more surprising than this. Rina sure.

Alvin was silent. It is more crowded than him because it can be said to be the most important scenario as well as sad.

"That night I intended to pick her up near campus because she had evening classes. It was raining heavily, and the lights went out. It's a little, so I'm trying to drive carefully. About a minute away to the campus gate, a truck crashed into the back of my car. Obviously I panicked and slammed the steering wheel to the right. Unfortunately ...." Alvin trouble. It feels amazingly tight. A drop of clear liquid came out uninvited. For the first time Lina saw the Husband like this.

"Mas," said Rina softly. Hugged it tightly. "Istigfar, don't cry." I don't know why Lina's feeling is more dominant pity now.

Alvin still can't go on. Calm yourself as best you can.

"Istigar, Mom. Isitgfad." Rina led Alvin to say the word istigfar slowly.

A sense of tightness is between the two lovebirds.
