Melati At The End of Hope

Chia's heartbreak day

Episode 12's

Cring cring...

An incoming call was heard from Chia's phone.

Chia who was still sleeping was then awakened by the sound of her cell phone ringing.

While sleepy his hand grabbed the phone and raised the incoming call.

"Hello Assalamu'alaikum...." Chia.

"Wa'alaikumsalam..." There was a voice familiar to Chia.

"Mom, Chia kangen mom. What was? tumben called Chia in the morning" Tanya Chia.

"Mother also misses Chia. I'm sorry to disturb Chia's sleep, right?" Answer mother.

"Ah no kok bu, just not usually a mother phone Chia before shubuh gini" Reply Chia.

"Gini son, Chia hasn't been back to the village in a long time. Father and mother so missed Chia, may not next Sunday Chia come home first son, at least two or three days" Mother Chia pleaded.

"Ahh mother! do not say that dong bu, Chia so feel guilty, actually Chia also already miss the same father and mother" explained Chia.

"So how's son? can ?" Mom confirmed.

"Chia try to be ma'am, Chia also miss the mother's cooking, InsyaAllah next week Chia come home ya ma'am." Chia doesn't want her mother to be sad.

"Okay baby, be careful, son. Meet you later" said Mother.

"Yes ma'am, Wassalamu'alaikum."Close Chia ends the conversation.

"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered the mother.

"Hem what's up? mom's not usually?" Chia Gumam.

Soon after entering the prayer time, Chia woke up and prepared to perform her prayer.

Until the morning he had breakfast and did everything as usual. And finally afternoon came.

Chia closes the cake shop and prepares to go home.

Arrive one day before returning to the village.

"Assalamu'alaikum Dio, tomorrow I want to go home, mother told me to go home" Chia told Dio by phone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam! All of a sudden, what's the show?" Ask Dio.

"Actually not suddenly, my mother told me about a week ago" Chia explained.

"Oh okay, how long is it in there?" ask Dio again.

"I don't know for sure, maybe three days or so" Chia said.

"Greetings to mom and dad, I'm sorry I can't get you, because my work is still piling up." Dio.

"What's wrong, I can go home by myself." Reply Chia.

"Be careful, let me know again." Dio Pinta.

The phone was closed and the conversation ended with a greeting.

"Geez, I forgot something" Chia said as she patted her eel.

Chia told Dio through a short message that he wanted to deliver something.

Because Dio did not also read and reply to his message, Chia finally took the initiative to go see Dio in the office where he worked.

With the company address that Dio once shared with Chia, Chiaun immediately headed there.

With the services of the ojek he was riding, Chia had reached the office of Dio.

"This is the fare, thank you very much sir" Chia paid for the taxi service.

"Sama-sama neng, the change is neng!" said the taxi driver while giving change.

"Thank you" smile.

Chia nodded and hurried over.

Slowly Chia stepped towards Dio's study, having previously asked in the information section.

Arriving in front of Dio's office,

Chia knocked on the door but there seemed to be no answer.

Someone passed in front of Chia and Chiapun asked, "Sorry mas want to ask, sir Dio is in the not yes?" ask Chia politely.

"Oh just go in, maybe Mr. Dio is in the toilet, so it's not knocking on the door" said one person told Reuters.

"Okay mas, max much yes" said Chia.

"Same-sama" said the man.

"In.o"

Suddenly Chia's lips were restrained, her tongue speechless.

Chia was surprised instead of playing to see Dio who was half-naked, making out with a woman. Looks like Chia has seen that woman. Yes, she was the woman who the other day cursed and doused Chiara with a bottle of water.

How devastated Chiara's feelings and heart were, witnessing the sight that soiled her eyes. Dio and the woman kiss each other and are unaware of Chia's presence there.

Chiara's feelings were chaotic, not believing Dio to do such a disgusting thing with a woman she said was only her work partner.

Whether to believe it or not but all of it had been clearly witnessed by Chia's own eyes.

Not wanting to watch all that longer, Chiaun went out of Dio's study.

Initially, Chia intended to give the gift, so that Dio did not forget the time and always remembered the Almighty of Love, who with His destiny had reunited them after a long time apart without news. But the embarrassing incident, made Chia undo her intentions.

With lecherous footsteps, Chia ran, her eyes could no longer resist the urge of clear circles that would soon fall and wet her cheeks.

"Yeah" Chia said to herself.

After arriving at her boarding house, Chia also packed up to prepare whatever she would bring back to the village.

After everything was tidy, Chia decided to go home that day as well without waiting for the next day.

Still unable to believe what she saw, Chiara wondered why the man she loved had to lie.

Even if Dio said honestly it feels better for Chia, because Chia does not need to expect much and feel heartbreak.

It was not about what Dio had done with the woman, but about the lies and false hopes that Dio had given Chiara that made Chiara even more sick.

Chia kept thinking about what happened to her, wondering why she had to feel heartbreak so soon, when it felt like only a few hours ago she felt happiness.

"Is this pain a broken heart?, ah no no, not broken, rather it is torn by force to the point that nothing else remains." Chia's inner wail.

Along the way to her hometown, Chia more silent daydream, sometimes he saw again the gift that was originally to be given to Dio.

Chia smiled bitterly, she felt stupid to have messed up all Dio's talk.

Could this be a sign that Chia should end her relationship with Dio, and remove all the flavors that ever existed.

Even when long apart without any news, the feeling was maintained well, packed neatly in a band of longings that filled every empty space in his heart.

"Often this finger grasps too tightly what should be removed, until finally my hand is injured by my own grip!

Maybe I'm feeling happy too soon, or maybe the pain is coming too soon." Chia spoke in her heart.

Grateful, the love of both Chia's parents has always been shared throughout Chia's life. So that when another love breaks his heart, the love of his parents remains intact without any defects.

Life cannot be defined by desire, but we still have the choice to be happy.

If you cannot have what you love, then love what you have.

This is only half of the journey that may be longer.

A broken heart is human, right?
