Only Your Shadow

The Painful Reality

Raka opened her eyes slowly. He narrowed his eyes looking at the light entering through the room window. He circulated the gaze to the corner of the room, he naturally felt unfamiliar with the room. Raka tried to remember yesterday's incident, but she instead felt dizzy in her head. Raka got up from the bed, she walked closer to the door although slightly limped while holding her head which was still dizzy. After coming out of the room, the first thing Raka saw was Dew who was in the kitchen. Raka is indeed

still half-conscious, approaching Dew and unexpectedly he immediately hugged the girl from behind.

While the Dew who was making breakfast was very surprised because of the embrace of Raka. Dew tried to take off the hug, but unfortunately Raka even more tightened her embrace.

“ Leave it like this for a minute.” Raka lirih.

The dew could only be silent fixated, he could only duck and clench both his hands.

“ Ka, please loose. Someone will see.” Pinta Dew to let Raka let go of her embrace.

“ I miss you.” Raka increasingly tightened his embrace and without hesitation kissed the top of the head of the Dewun.

Raka's speech suddenly made Dew choked. He felt his heart beating fast. I want her to say that she misses him too. But it could only be Dew uttered in his heart, as he instantly let go of Raka's embrace.

Raka who did not expect Dewun to let go of his embrace, could only stare at Dew with a sad and disappointed look. Dew was certainly aware of the meaning of Raka's gaze, but she was aware of her position and status.

Dew breathed slowly and smiled in front of Raka, “ How are you, still dizzy?” Ask Dewun trying to divert the conversation.

Raka smiled and replied, “ Still quite dizzy, sorry about earlier.”

“ Gak what – what, better forget. Consider it never happens, but beware if you do it again. I made you perkedel.” Threat Dew.

“ Hahaha, yes bawel.” Raka pulled the Dew head under her arm then scrambled – random Dew hairs.

“ RAKA!!! Lepasin.” Shouted the Dew that was upset at Raka. But Raka is even more jaily, not only random – scrambles the Dew hair but also tickles the waist of the girl.

Dew laughs until his stomach hurts because he can not stand when his body is tickled. Of course Raka knew the weakness of this Dew, so she was getting more and more excited about the Dew. But Raka stopped it

when the voice of Deheman came from behind him. Raka looked back, and she saw Brian staring intently at her with his arms crossed over his chest.

Raka quickly let go of the Dew, and stared back at Brian with a gaze that was no less sharp. While the Dew that did not know what had not happened had already slumped to the floor, he felt his strength drained from laughing too much.

“ Aduhh, my energy is up. My stomach was also cramping from mostly laughing. This is because – because you Ka, beware waiting for my revenge.” Dew said then stood up and turned to face Raka. But the Dew immediately sculpted as soon as it saw the scene in front of him. Not a sight that spoils the eyes, but a sight that makes the feathers stand up.

Can Dew see clearly, the hostility aura of the two men in front of him. Although there was not a word said, but the gazes of the two of them seemed to be killing each other.

Dew immediately walked up to Brian and took his arm, “ How about we have breakfast, happened to have breakfast is ready.” Dew took Brian and brought him to the dinner table.

Dew pulls the chair and forces Brian to sit down. After that he sat down beside Brian, he looked towards Raka who was still silent in her position. Dew rose from his seat and walked over to Raka.

“ Ka, you breakfast also yes.” The dew pulls Raka's arm.

Raka just resignedly followed Dew to the dining table. They sat together at the table and ate in silence. When finished, Dew immediately set the dining table. While Brian and Raka did not move from his seat. Brian crossed his hands across his chest, and did not turn his gaze away from Raka who was sitting in front of him.

“ Anyone you want to explain?” Ask Brian without a base – stale.

“ What should I explain? If it's about last night, I don't know why I can be like that either.” Answer Raka. Because Raka does not know what makes him able to do things that he considers very disgusting

that's.

“ Are you sure you don't know the cause? Not that you deliberately take stimulant drugs as a cover so that you can freely perform your depraved actions?” Brian asked deliberately provoking Raka.

“ What do you mean!!! What am I doing that for?” Raka asked with emotion, of course he did not accept being accused like that by Brian.

BRAKKS

Raka kicked off the table because he was provoked by the emotion of hearing the word – said Brian. He moved and pulled Brian's collar.

“ Shut your mouth!!! I'm not that petty until I do that dirty thing. And as long as you know, I will not damage the Dew by doing such a depraved thing as you accuse.”

“ Then can you explain, how can you be under the influence of the drug?” Ask Brian casually.

Raka's getting tighter pulling Brian's collar, “ Listen yes, I just had dinner with Vania. And he asked me to take him home to his apartment. I also did not know that I would meet Dew here.”

“ What do you mean, Vania who put the medicine in the food or drink you eat?” Brian Cibir.

Raka was surprised to hear Brian's question. He took off Brian's collar, and sat back down with a face that looked shocked. Now Raka is stringing her memories of yesterday's incident, from the beginning of her dinner

with Vania until the incident she's this apartment.

“ Is it really Vania?” Batin Raka's.

Brian who saw Raka looked shocked, tidied up his collar and sat back down casually.

“ What does Vania do that for? Isn't he also going to lose if I take his honor?”  Raka asked softly but could still be heard by Brian.

“ I don't know. But the Vania I know, will do anything to get what she wants. Maybe by making you want to take responsibility and marry him immediately. Aren't you guys long ago

engaged, and all I hear is that you always postpone the wedding.” Brian is at length.

Raka clenched her hands restraining emotions. If all that was true, he had not expected Vania to do so far. Because the Vania he knew was a kind and meek girl.

“ Why are you telling me all this? Isn't he your cousin?” Tanya looked at Brian.

“ I don't like this way. Especially because of this, it almost hurt the people I love.” Brian replied with a smile towards the Dew which turned out to be listening to their conversation.

Raka followed Brian's line of sight. He looked at the Dew that was standing not far from them. Raka got up from her seat and walked towards the Dewun.

“ I'm sorry about last night.” Raka said while bowing her head. He's right – right shy on Dew.

“ Not what – what. It wasn't your fault.” Answer the Dew with a smile.

“ Thank you. I go first.” Pamit Raka without looking at the Dewun. Without looking again Raka immediately came out of the apartment.

The dew immediately exhaled after Raka left. Dew rests his back on the wall because he feels weak. Brian led the Dew and sat him in a chair.

“ Is all that true?” Ask Dew.

“ See the nature of Vania, could have it happen.”

“ It's not love, but it's already an obsession.” The shudder shudders in horror.

“ You don't need to worry.” Said Brian gently holding Dew's hand.

Raka, who had exited the apartment, immediately got into her car. He hit the wheel to vent his anger.

“ Fuck! Goddamn bum!! Vania you have to pay for all this!!!” Raka drove off her vehicle and left the place.
