Vira and Wandi sat on the shore and enjoyed the wind blowing not too hard towards them, as if the sea and wind understood their feelings. They were not as usual, the two just stared at the beach not talking to each other. The only sound that seemed to beat the sound of the waves was quite a heavy breath coming from the two of them. They know what to do but no one dares to start a conversation that will make everything they feel should end and may become uncomfortable. Today was bright enough with clouds covering the sun so it was not too hot.1 hour passed without talking with occasional staring with sad smiles to each other.
“Vir.” Wandy finally started talking
“yup.”
“we have to talk about this right?”
“ya, looks like.”
“you know that we are different.”
“ya.” replied Vira while unknowingly her tears just fell down. Wandy did not look at him and continued to stare at the beach.
“u know what I mean.”
“ya.” Vira answered quietly and wiped away her tears. Wandy stretched out his hand and they clasped each other knowing that this relationship had to end before starting anything, and this was the first time Vira cried because of her feelings, because of a relationship with a man, a feeling he had never felt before. For Vira all things related to Wandy are perfect, Vira realized Wandy is the ideal type. And Vira knows, they end it with a hug that seems to give a sense of peace to their feelings that can not be continued.
The days passed without giving them another chance until Wandy finally had to return to Jakarta because his audit period in Makassar was over, they try to be good friends even though until now it was too difficult. And they also like to know they have to give each other time to neutralize their feelings, is it true that this special relationship is like destiny but it turns out only a life lesson? Love is not wrong, but it is the reality of life. Can they control their feelings and hearts to be friends and muffle all other feelings? Time, maybe it's the best answer, because time keeps going and what happens later does not always match our predictions, but who knows when we stay positive all becomes good.

The Wandy Point of View
Sometimes it was as if fate or fate was playing tricks on me and testing my courage through things I had never seen before, but things I could not match my will. Culture, religion is a big obstacle in a relationship. This was the first time I felt a relationship that felt natural going as it was without pressure, like a dream, and I didn't realize it was growing slowly. I really didn't expect to see her again, I didn't think we'd meet on another island, and I could get to know her more. My way of life toyed with feelings, since our first impressions often accidentally met in Transjakarta, I always felt Vira a positive person, who looked satisfied with her life and pleasant, but knew her more, he said, enjoying the same hobby scared me and my decision said I should step down for our own principles, because I know how much he respects me and my religion, and no matter how much he clung to his beliefs. This match is unfortunate and I hope I can go back to the previous time or change our relationship to friendship, maybe we are reunited to be friends of heart who understand each other, not a special relationship involving the initialed word “C”. For now, I hope we can be happy.
The Vira Point Of View
Meeting him made my heart beat faster, either because of the shock of him suddenly appearing again, or, especially on this island or the feeling of excessive excitement that strengthens my adrenaline and makes me so much excited that I don't even realize my fatigue, I just feel stronger with him, and feel like I can do anything. This feeling first appeared, I think this is called first love. The first love at my age at this time I think can give laughter to many people I know except those closest to me, I know I am slow, and especially I choose the path that makes it difficult myself, he said, that leaves us trapped in a relationship that must be stopped immediately. I know I often do things that are beyond my common sense but these experiences will not always happen so I choose to enjoy them. And more than anything else I've always tried to avoid this distinction of LDR Type One, Love Different Religion. Our different beliefs forced us to stop because it was the best, it was possible that this life lesson would become a very beautiful memory for me someday. Right now I can only try to distract myself and hope that time erases the absurd feeling that is in my heart, I act, I feel, I must also be prepared to accept the risk. Thank you for coming into my life like fate made me realize my ideal type. Hope we will find our destiny and be happy.

“I know Son, I know.”
“I don't want to regret, I don't want him to be as vague as Toma.”
“ya, even you yourself do not know what feelings between you and Toma, and especially the Toma, who just ran away like a coward.”
“lah why be maki him lu?”
“kels aja.”
“hahahha...thanks yes son.”.
“apanya? The feeling I just nagging.”
“because you've been my best friend and have always been there for me like this.”
“just chat doang, can lah.”
“hahahhaha, sometimes I feel you are perfect, for friends confide in me.”
“by the same mirror.”
“hahahaha, but you can answer that, as if talking to yourself answered that's good right?”
“ya yes yes, but you call about the ideal type, after the age of so early there is also a benefit right?”
“iya also. There are positive things if we think positive.”
“you are happy, had time to be happy at least, and not sorry.”
“can't say no to it.”
They chatted with each other for hours with more advice from Sony who sometimes feel the most expert in the relationship when yes Vira knows all Sony relationships, just 2, the second yes Winnie. And the two girls are indeed different personalities even though outside yes a lot of similarities, they are bright, maybe that makes Sony interested, we are both on the dark side, maybe Sony needs Light, maybe Sony, as for me, I think I prefer a little dark, can't be bright, because maybe I'm afraid of glare.
