NEW TWILIGHT FOR SYANIA

2

🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

　

Afternoon has come, then the human tares are still very crowded in every corner of one of the skyscraper high buildings located in the strategic area of downtown Jakarta office.

It seems like everyone is getting ready to go home, the working hours have passed more than 5 minutes ago.

　

"Everything's gone ". Without knocking on the door Toni went straight into Edo's study.

　

"Already, just clean this up ". Edo pointed at some of the papers that had come out of each file map.

　

"Go away or go home first ?" Although not welcome to sit, Toni is already sitting comfortably on the sofa single facing Edo. That's how Toni, the close bond that has existed between her and Edo since they were in college, doesn't make her feel awkward about Edo. Perhaps their close friendship is approaching the level of brother. There is a special emotional bond between the two of them.

　

"How do you want ?" Edo asked Toni.

　

"Your house is closer than here, let's go to your house. I borrowed your shirt, huh ?" Toni was playing with her phone.

　

"As far as you are. Going home and taking a shower is also better, let's relax !" And the last sheet of paper strewn across Edo's desk had been neatly arranged into their respective file maps.

　

"Look down, relax ". Tony tried to hold back his laughter.

　

"Dare to laugh, I knock you ". Edo lifted the gobby map which looked quite heavy.

　

"Haha ". Instead of being afraid to hear Edo's threats, Toni actually laughed. "You're like a teenage boy. Embarrassment, hahaha".

　

"Know what you're about. You are single ". Edo mocked Toni, it seemed like the choice of Edo's word was very fitting. Toni was silent.

　

"Yes, you won ". Toni chose to give up on Edo. Because if continued, Toni knows Edo will continue to laugh at his singles status. And she could be cornered into the Edo moons, you think I'm single. Cih, I am also trying to find. I want to be eternal like this.

　

Edo's workbench has been neat again, the file arrangement was as it should be. Edo put on his work coat and took his fancy car keys. "Come !" Edo was standing in front of Toni

　

"Do, are you sure ?" Toni had not moved from her seat. "Sit down first ". Toni pointed at the empty sofa that was right in front of her.

　

"What else Ton, I'm tired of discussing this ". Although upset, Edo complied, sitting on the sofa that Toni pointed at him

　

"Well, this is the last time I'm asking you ". Tony put on a serious face. "Are you sure ?"

　

"My answer is still the same. Why should I doubt ?" Edo answered casually.

　

"That's not Do's answer. Come on...!" Toni looked at Edo, looking into those black eyes in order to answer seriously.

　

"You ". Edo looked a little upset. "Ah ". Edo ruffled his hair with both hands, it seemed like Edo was indeed upset at this moment.

　

"Honestly !" Toni kept pushing Edo.

　

"What do you really want Ton. I'm certain. That, that's what you want to hear ?" Edo stared angrily at Toni.

　

"Do, you don't know Kemala. You're matched. Are you sure you can love her, sincere ?" Toni saw Edo breathing deeply. "Do, your marriage is less than 2 weeks away. Marriage isn't Do's toy, are you sure you're gonna spend your old days with Mala ?"

　

"According to Mama, Kemala's a fine woman ". Edo closed his eyes.

　

Marry Kemala, son. She's a beautiful woman, from a good family. They are level with us. I am sure you will be happy with an equal woman. Edo remembered his mother's words as she lay weakly in the Hospital because her diabetes complications had recurred. Mama's condition was very weak, Edo felt helpless. The shadow will lose the woman who loved him so much, making him nod in agreement with the wishes of Mama. Who Kemala is, what his recent background is, Edo does not know in the slightest. But for the sake of making Mama happy, Mama who has taken care of her from childhood, Mama who is always there for her. Even at the worst moment of her life 3 years ago, Mama never left her for a second. Unlike that damn woman, she chose to leave me when she found out I was helpless. He chose to leave me and find another man.

　

　

"Then it's much better than that damn woman ". Edo sounded really sniffy.

　

"Nia, her name is Syria ". Toni interrupted Edo.

　

"I told you, don't mention the name of that damn woman in front of me !" Edo clenched his right hand, he was furious.

　

"Why huh? Is there something wrong with me saying Nia's name ? You don't like ?" Toni's voice is no less big than Edo's. He's angry too. You, you don't know anything. Your beloved mother has brainwashed you. You stupidly hate the woman you love so much. You'll be sorry.

　

"This is the last time I remind you, never mention the name of that damn woman in front of me ! I'm serious !" Edo is threatening Toni.

　

"Do ". Toni tried to speak slowly, she was trying to talk more casually to Edo. "Think again, you are more than just a friend to me. You've been like a brother to me, I just don't want you to regret it. Regret is always at the end. When you get to that point, all can't be changed anymore ". Toni tried to advise Edo.

　

"Right, regret is always at the end. And you know Ton the most, how I'm so sorry I ever knew that unlucky woman, how bad again I've loved her with all my soul ". Edo massaged his forehead slowly.

　

"Pain face and very unpretentious. She is simple, but she is very beautiful. I love her Ton, love her so much. Even though Mama refused our relationship, I always defended her desperately in front of Mama. What I didn't give him Ton. Even my life, I gave it to him. I always wanted to make her happy ". There was a warm grain falling in the corner of Edo's eye.

　

"I love him Ton. You know it ! My love is also what makes me so silly to want to get wildflowers on the brink when we climbed the mountain 3 years ago. Until it all happened ". Edo's voice was slow. There was a pain in his voice.

　

"When I lay critically, when I was helpless Ton. When I fought death, where was he ? Where's that unlucky lady Ton ?" One more thing, a warm grain fell on the corner of Edo's eye.

　

"In my coma, I try to survive. The shadow seeing him crying in fear forced me to wake up, I refused to die. You know, I refused to die Ton ! I saw her very sad, crying in fear and begging. I saw him very broken. Somehow the painful shadow filled my head when I was in a coma ". Edo leaned his head against the back of the sofa.

　

Because that's what Nia is experiencing, Do. Your mama insulted and scolded her, made Nia beg, and your mama just cursed her. Toni fell silent.

　

"When I came to my senses, with a heavy wound and a broken leg. What did I get ? You know everything Ton, you never leave me ". Edo was still resting his head on the back of the sofa.

　

"He left, that unlucky woman left me helpless. He chose to find another, more established man, who could support his life. Not a cripple who is as scarred as I am. He dumped me Ton, he dumped me ". How painful was the wound left in Edo's heart. Edo held his chest, it felt very painful in that part.

　

Ah, no Do. He didn't leave you. Shit, I'm sworn to. How do I straighten all this out.

"Do ?"

　

"Without a word of farewell, he left me. Without a single thought he'd see me, 6 months Ton. Six months I've been helpless in the hospital, where is that woman ? Six months I lamented, what was my fault until he could leave me Ton ? Until I got out of the hospital, he didn't show up. My physiotherapy was over and I was able to return to normal, the woman still chose to leave. You know everything Ton, you are always beside me, even Angga, Dafi fan Ardi always took the time to see me. You never raised me". Toni saw how messed up her best friend was right now.

　

"While he was, the woman disappeared. If only, if only he showed up when I was healthy. I'll forgive him. You know I love her so much. I will forget all the suffering he gave me as long as I lay helpless. I'll defend her Ton, even though I know what Mama said was right that she just wanted our family fortune. I keep choosing him, I keep choosing him ". Tony placed his left hand on Edo's knee.

　

"He didn't show up, he completely disappeared. Even where the wind is I can't find out. He must have planned everything, so I couldn't find him. The damn woman was very smart, and hid well. Maybe now he's on a rich man's bed. Yeah, for the crazy woman of treasure. That's what he'll do ". Edo nodded softly at his own argument.

　

"Take your word Do, you're so outrageous !" Toni did not like Edo's last words.

　

"Why, why huh ? You don't like it ? Lest he ever tease you huh, ever offer to ride your basket too ? "

　

"You.", Toni's anger was lured, her hands clenched high.

　

"What, you gonna punch me ? Aye ?" Edo challenges Toni. "Fist, fist me. Ayoooo boxing !" Edo drew his face closer to Toni.

　

Slowly Toni lowered her fist, took a deep breath and exhaled. Many times until he can control the emotions that he had wanted to evaporate earlier.
