MY LOVE IS SHACKLED WITH LIES

All Uncovered

Everything's Uncovered

Finally, Rudi's team arrived at the place before. They sit down for a moment to rest. A moment later they were approached by the seniors and began to be asked their own questions.

“Is everything you do only limited to competition with Krishna?” ask Andre.

“Not only because of that. I also really want to be a leader. The problem of my competition with Krishna has been since we were children and the competition is eternal.” said Rudi.

“If you don't become the leader of the year what will you do?” asked Andre looking at Rudi sharply.

“I will help that leader.” replied Rudi briefly.

“I hope your last answer can be accounted for. I hold your word.” said the senior.

Rudi nodded. He knew they must have learned his personality and inevitably he had to remain professional.

“The next question, what is interesting about the house of the Hero? What is your attitude as the next generation of this nation?” ask Andre.

“Interesting on the building that comes from teak wood all. In addition, its location is very far from the city is also interesting. Many people will not expect that the hero who created the song Indonesia Raya was born in a remote place. If what the younger generation must do now is possible by taking care of it and remembering it. In addition, you must be more excited to pursue your goals despite the many limitations and obstacles they encounter.” replied Rudi in a hurry. Rudi can answer all questions easily but hastily.

“Why are you in a hurry?” ask Andre.

“I don't want to lose with Krisna.” replied Rudi honestly.

“I know your physical strength. But try to understand your team members as well. Don't be selfish.” says Andre.

“Iya. When did Krishna get into the cave?” ask Rudi.

“About a grand hour ago. My message. Please remember these words. Don't force yourself. Remember the members of your team.” Andre said ending the conversation.

Rudi rushed to his place back. He waited until his friends were done. His legs were moving like a lion preparing to run. Rudi did not feel tired in the least. Finally his friends are done. Rudi led them into the cave.

In the cave...

Krisna's words further shattered Friska's feelings and continued to cry.

Seeing that situation, Erik did not remain silent. He approached Krishna.

“Enough! I'm sick of all these lies. I know everything.” said Erik full of emotions.

“You know about what?” krisna asked flatly. Erik is getting angry.

“Don't you realize what you're doing has hurt Friska. He's not guilty. I'm witness!” erik said full of anger.

“But why is there always a problem when he is close to Jeny. Who wouldn't suspect.” says Krisna.

“Originally you know, Friska is a good person! He couldn't have done that!” said Erik.

“Well you said? Are you becoming him? So you took him. Can't you see? He's always acting weird. Anyway he is very stiff.” said Krisna.

Erik recounts all of Friska's sad past. All of Krishna's squads listened to that. Krisna was silent and the others were silent. While Friska just cried listening to Erik tell a story. Krisna comes to her senses when Friska's mother tells her to look after Friska.

Erik is getting angry. Finally, he decided to unlock the secret he had been keeping all along.

“Should as a leader you must not distinguish your members! Just because Jeny is your boyfriend?” Erik spoke to Krishna.

“So you don't like me being the leader of this squad?” ask Krishna cynically.

“When you are aware! You've been betrayed by Jeny ever since you two were made.” the word slipped easily from Erik's mouth.

Friska jerks. He looked at Erik.

“Already Fris. We don't have to cover up other people's mistakes. A speck of lies will make ourselves hurt.” said Erik steady.

“What do you mean?” ask Krishna.

“Emang you do not know, your sweet girl is also the same Rudi. Even Friska saw the two of them walking around cordially. But Friska doesn't want to ruin your relationship. Friska thought that it would hurt you.” Erik said looking at Krishna.

Jeny could not say anything. He lowered his head.

“True that?” ask Krisna later.

Jeny was silent. Krishna was very heartbroken. He was disappointed not because of Jeny's betrayal, but because he had hurt Friska.

“Is that true Jen?” ask Aldi to be curious. Irwan also proposed the same celebration.

Finally Jeny gave up and put her head down. Chris was disappointed to see that. He did not think that his girlfriend and his best friend would betray him behind the back. His heartache was not because of his love clapping one hand. But because he felt so stupid to be stuck on something like this that he hurt people who were actually his first love.

He took a deep breath. He knew how selfish he had been to place Friska in the farthest corner of his heart. In his heart he hit himself with anger. He was so angry after realizing all this time the lies controlled him and made his life more complicated. Not only that as a leader of the squad, Krishna felt very embarrassed.

Krishna tried to erase his anger. He wanted to vent the anger that was mounting in his heart. Krishna held both sides of the gap. He opened the stone slit while shouting with all his might.

Jeny was surprised to see what Chris did. Everyone saw what Chris did. Finally, Jeny's leg was released. After that, Krishna felt a great pain in his hands. Krishna lifted his hand from the bottom of the mud cave.

Erik points the flashlight in Krishna's hand. Krishna's right hand was bleeding and the blood started to come out. The smell of blood passed through their noses. Irwan immediately opened the medicine box.

“This is my sister's medicine.” said Irwan approached Krishna.

“Nevent gone.” said Krisna walked up to Friska who was sitting on a rock and still crying.

After being in front of Friska, he held Friska's right hand. Friska was surprised and looked at Krishna. Krisna's face was full of sweat because of what she was doing.

“Fris I'm sorry. I promise I won't hurt you again. You can keep my promise and this blood as a guarantee.” said Krisna.

He placed his bloody palm on Friska's palm. Finally their palms were filled with blood. The blood mixed with the mud water continued to flow. Krisna clasped Friska's hand and placed it on her chest.

Everyone witnessed the incident. Jeny just looked down and realized her cover was open. While the rest of the squad began to realize the rotten nature of Jeny.

“You can walk by yourself?” ask Aldi.

“Can.” says Jeny flat.

“If you need help just say it. Don't accuse people often. You should be apologizing to Friska.” Erik said.

Jeny was silent. They walked towards Krishna and Friska. Friska sensed that something was starting to grow in their hearts in the darkness of the cave. Friska still felt the tremors as Krishna did all that.

While in his heart, Krishna felt very light living this life because eventually he would also throw away the lies that always covered the path and his eyes. But there is another feeling that makes him happier.

“Could this be love?” ask Krishna in my heart.

Krisna wondered if she felt love. A taste he had never encountered before. But the sense of it was now getting closer and the dark cave became bright in its shadow.
