Only Your Shadow

Cancel the Engagement

Raka drives his car with – ugalan. He overtakes the car in front of him like a racer. Right now he had only one thought, he wanted to meet Vania as soon as possible. Raka wants

confirming, about the truth that Vania is the one who made Raka take stimulant drugs. Raka who is overwhelmed with emotions can not think clearly. Actually he doesn't need to leave Brian's apartment if he wants to meet Vania, doesn't Vania also live in the apartment building?

Raka brakes his car suddenly. He almost hit the meatballs merchant cart in front of him. After apologizing, he immediately pulled his car over on the side of the road. He wanted to calm his mind and emotions

momentary. When it feels calm enough, Raka immediately takes the phone and makes a call.

“ Where are you? I wait in the usual place!!.” Raka closes the call unilaterally without waiting for a response from the recipient. Without lingering – long, Raka drove her car to the appointment place.

And here is Raka now. Sit in the corner of the cafe with a cup of coffee in front of him. Her appearance which was quite messy since she did not change clothes just yet, could describe her current mood. After one

the waiting hours, finally the person he was waiting for came as well. From a distance Raka can see Vania who comes with a perfect appearance. The girl walked over with a smile on her face. Vania brought her face closer and wanted to kiss Raka's cheek like it was customary to meet her fiance, but

Vania is shocked when Raka keeps her face away from being kissed by Vania.

Getting such a rejection, of course Vania was upset. He clenched his hands firmly, but still pura – pura smiled in front of Raka. Vania sat in front of Raka, and held Raka's hand.

“ Honey, where were you last night? Why didn't you go tell me anyway? You didn't pick up my phone either. Your appearance is also a mess, did nothing happen to you? ” Ask Vania pura – pura sulking.

“ Don't you know what happened to me?” Raka asked back in a cynical tone and brushed off Vania's hand. He drank his coffee while staring intently at Vania who was sitting in front of him.

“ Ma.. You mean what? How do I know that I'm not the same as you.” Replied Vania nervously and did not dare to look at Raka.

“ Oh yes right, you don't know yes. Now I tell you, last night I spent a hot night with a woman. I don't know what happened to me, why I could be so wild as to fuck that woman

I found the origin in your apartment lobby.” Raka said casually, she wanted to know the reaction of Vania hearing that. And it turned out to be Vania's reaction as Raka had expected.

“ What do you mean spend the night with a woman you don't know? You should have done it the same way I did Ka.” Pekik Vania's.

Raka pulled the corner of her lips and said, “ Why should it be the same as you? Oh or do not – do not you make me can not resist the desire due to the influence of drugs.” Vania was surprised to hear Raka's words, her seat looked agitated.

“ Why are you accusing me? I can't possibly give you a stimulant.” Vania defended herself.

“ I never said you were giving stimulant drugs.” Raka said sharply.

Vania was right – was really surprised to realize her mistake. His face was instantly pale, and his body trembled when he knew he had already dismantled his own act.

“ Raka, I can clear it.” Vania immediately grabbed Raka's hand and grasped it tightly. But Raka immediately let go of Vania's grasp violently.

“ What you want to clear again. I didn't think you could do that little thing. It turns out you can do anything so that your wishes can be achieved, even in a dirty and disgusting way like that.”

“ Looks like our engagement cannot be continued Vania.” Raka continued firmly.

“ What do you mean Ka? You can't just break off this engagement. What did my parents and my family say? I'm sorry Raka, yesterday I was khilaf.” Vania said, pleading.

“ You said khilaf? I think your mistake has been very fatal and I cannot tolerate it. I don't know what would have happened to me if I hadn't met Dewun.” Said Raka with emotion.

Vania looked at Raka sharply, “ Dew? What do you mean, last night you channeled your passion with Dewun?”

Brian to help me to be free from the influence of the drugs you love.” Raka said cynically.

Vania is silent just don't reply to the word – said Raka. But the look of his face flushed with anger. Seeing that Raka did not take a headache, she immediately got up from her seat. But before leaving he said to Vania who was getting more and more emotional.

“ I hope you don't interfere with my life anymore. You don't have to worry, I'll explain to your family about our engagement. I won't tell you about your behavior to your family,

because they will be very embarrassed to know the work of their favorite child.” After she finished saying, Raka immediately left the place without turning her head towards Vania.

While Vania certainly does not accept the decision of Raka. Vania, who is stubborn, does not feel guilty and instead blames Dewun for everything she experienced this time.

“ Dew, this is all because of – because of you. I make sure you will suffer more than what I experienced.” Vania's words are full of hatred.

*****

A few days after the incident, Dew who had just returned from lunch was shocked to learn that the engagement between Raka and Vania was void. Dew accidentally hears this news from Aldo who is talking to Brian. After Aldo left, Dew immediately approached Brian to ask him about the news.

“ Brian, is it true that Raka and Vania's engagement is off?” Ask Dew with a curious face.

“ Don't like eavesdropping on people talks.” Brian replied without looking at the Dew.

“ Who is nagging, I accidentally heard. If no one wants to hear, speak whispered in Aldo's ear only.“ Dew sambll puckered his lips.

Brian did not answer Dew's words, and just shook his head. He refocused on the file he was reading. A dew that feels neglected, is of course upset.

“ BRIAN!!” Call the Dew with a shout.

“ What?” Ask Brian to put the file on the table.

“ Not so.” Dew answered in annoyance and then returned to his desk.

Brian sighed, then moved closer to the Dew table. Brian does have to be patient to face the attitude of Dew who sometimes still like a child, even though they are the same age.

“ Yes, their engagement is off. And Raka who canceled the engagement for no apparent reason.” Brian sat down in front of the Dew.

“ What was – because of yesterday's problem?” Ask Dew while propping up the chin.

“ I don't know. What do you think you would do if your fiancee did something rich with Vania?” Ask Brian.

“ If my rich fiancee I cut.” immediately Dew answered while demonstrating the cutting of the neck by hand.

Brian smiled then stood up and scrambled – random Dew hair, “ Already finished your work.” Said Brian softly and went back to his desk.

“ Habits.” Dew said tidying up her hair again.

Brian chuckles. He took the file on the desk, and tried to refocus. Unfortunately, the focus has changed. Now his mind is not about work anymore. But she thought about how her relationship with Dewun after Raka's engagement was off. Will Dew remain by his side, or will the girl pursue her first love again.
