Memories of First Love

Chapter 22: The star covered in clouds

Mira Husnaini

♡☆

...I dreamt that the starlight was pulling on my shirt...

...A white shirt that covers my weak shoulders...

...I have seen that there will always be someone...

...who healed my wounds...

...I'm gonna go cross that road for a long time...

...Looking back under the dim lights...

...I love your eyes that look at the stars quietly...

...I also love the universe in your heart...

...make my time stop...

...Recalling it left my day and night in regret, the wind blowing from high...

...No one's waiting...

...I also dreamt of traveling the planet, seeing a star falling through the clouds...

...I also looked up at the hill sadly, towards the exit of my dream...

...Will it be able to lead to the end of the starry sky?...

...I was swept away in the star, looking up...

...Which star is your eye?...

...Not being able to touch you makes it hard to have you...

...I can't help it, spring and autumn are over...

...Wind as if screaming in freedom, I will listen to it gently ☆♡...

(~ Translation ost You are my glory~)

💮 Happy reading, and good luck always 💮

''I came here to apologize for my mother Ren's attitude, and also, I wanted to say that I would soon be engaged to Danisha.''

When I said that, it felt like my heart was also broken, especially when I heard him congratulate me on my engagement to Danisha. I can't hold back my tears anymore. I approached her and I immediately hugged her...

~☆POV Author ☆~

Alif hugged Irena very tightly, hoping that time could stop in their arms. But without them realizing it, from earlier there was someone who saw and listened to their conversation, not far from them standing. His hands clenched tightly clutching the edge of his shirt. In her heart she cursed Irena with hatred.

Irena also let go of her embrace. He rubbed Alif's cheeks wet with tears.

''Don't cry Lif, you have to accept it sincerely. In any case she is the woman of your family's choice who will be your wife, the mother of your children. You have to learn to accept it and start trying to love it, I will always pray for you to always be happy, said Irena.

Alif shook his head, then hugged Iren back.

Iren who heard Alif's words made him stumble. How could Alif think that way.

''Then what about your mom Lif? Oooh, maybe you don't really care about your mama, but what about your brother and sister? You know clearly how your mama treated your sister, you don't want to make them sad?'' Irena tried to persuade him even though he himself felt no longer able to speak.

''Calm your mind Lif, don't just look one-sided. But look at all sides. Think about the consequences later. I don't want you to regret it later. It's not that I don't love you either, but I also have to think about your family as well as mine,''

''If it is fate, the soul mate will not go anywhere. Go home first Lif, calm your mind. I'm sure you're able to overcome the anxiety of your own heart.'' After saying that, Iren went to enter his house leaving Alif who was still standing looking at the back of the woman he loved so much, who slowly disappeared into his house.

Irena was still standing behind the door of her house, her tears did not stop flowing down her cheeks. He had just heard under his first love, the man who had rekindled his long frozen heart and admired him, saying that he loved him very much. His heart flowered at once withered instantly. I don't know why fate keeps playing tricks on him, and love never sides with him.

''Iren.oh Iren''

Kenzo who saw her brother crying like that, immediately walked up to her and hugged her.

''Brother, do you want to go home first to papa's house. Because tomorrow he said brother Arsen will go home, said Kenzo. Iren shook his head, then wiped his tears.

''Is the egg-boiled noodle ordered by Ken's sister?'' Ask Iren. Hearing his brother's words, Kenzo felt even more sad. He failed to take care of his brother. Though his father had warned him to take care of his brother and would not let his brother cry again.

''Brother is okay Ken, why are you crying?'' (Iren wiped the tears that soaked Kenzo's cheeks) "Sister just felt very hungry, after all there is no problem whatsoever, don't worry too much papa Ken, let's eat!'' Iren stood pulling his sister's hand to go to the dining table.

Kenzo saw her brother eating so voraciously, but her tears always wet his cheeks. Sometimes Iren takes a tissue to wipe it off.

''Why is your noodle so spicy Ken, look! Big brother came out snot from earlier, but Kenzo knew if his brother was just trying to distract him to cover up his feelings which were currently shattered into pieces.

After dinner, Iren went straight to his room. Kenzo was still busy cleaning the dining table and washing dirty dishes and cookware.

Iren was still standing on the balcony of his room, staring at the stars in the sky. The wind blows pretty hard. After finishing some, Kenzo came to bring a sweater and approached Irena.

''Why is big brother still standing here and wearing thin clothes? Tonight's wind feels so strong, don't you feel cold? What if there's a cold?'' kenzo said as he put the sweater on his brother.

But suddenly Irena cried in Kenzo's arms. Kenzo knew, from then on his brother tried to hold him until what was heard now, a very heartbreaking cry.

''I miss Ken's mom a lot, is mama there okay now, '' said Irena after she stopped crying.

''We just pray for the best for my mother, Kenzo sure, mama is now happy. I no longer feel pain. Better brother get some rest! Night wind is not good for your health. If you are sick, you must be sad to see it, said Kenzo as he asked Irena to enter the house.

To esokan day...

Early in the morning Mira had come with Mura. He is currently struggling in the kitchen to cook Iren's favorite food. While Kenzo played with Mura, so as not to disturb his mother who was cooking.

After Kenzo recounted the incident yesterday, Mira intended to make Irena breakfast and afternoon she wanted to take him to the beach.

But until 09:00, Irena has not yet come down from her room. As she was about to call Irena, Irena had already gone down the stairs.

''That was so early in the morning that Mir came?'' Ask Iren. Although it looks cheerful, but from his face is clearly illustrated his sadness. It seemed like Irena did not sleep last night, because the circumference of her eyes looked blackened and very puffy.

''Of course, it is you! Girls wake up in the afternoon! How about if your sustenance is in a chicken bottle!'' Mira said as she handed a glass of honey tea to Irena's hand.

''If it is in totol it is taken back! If not we kill the chicken. Isn't it Mura, baby?'' Irena then approached Mura and held her.

''Mom's...I miss you so much, said the little boy in a funny voice.

''Really? Didn't we just split up?'' The little girl was silent to her mother's order...

''Of course Mura always misses this very beautiful and kind Mura mami (while indulging in Iren's sling), our mami goes to yuk beach! Mura wants to play mami water, said Mura. Of course the words were arranged by his mother and uncle Ken.

''To the beach?.....
