Pamit It's For You

Crushed

Braakk

A black duffel bag slammed onto the table lying just like that.Along with that a tiny little body contains fell onto the mattresses.

A faint sobbing began to sound. Cleo slams her body on the bed after hearing a news from one of her co-workers that her lover Nelson is today engaged to a woman living in a remote town.

When he heard the news that successfully made his body tremble violently and the joints and muscles of his entire body weakened. Even his feet could no longer feel his foot on the floor. All he felt was a lunglai limp .

But somehow the power from which Cleo could still stand upright and smile bitterly.

"You know not today Nelson proposed and fiancee ? A week ago, Nelson was busy looking for a car rental for his brothers who would accompany him to propose to his lover" said Tio suddenly.

"Nelson proposal?" Ask Kiki Cleo's best friend and co-worker.

Tio nodded confidently.

"So seriously you don't know Nelson's proposal yet. He didn't tell you guys the same?" tio's sharp gaze on Cleo and Kiki took turns.

Kiki shook her head quickly as she glanced at her best friend who was only fixated still not moving one bit.

Kiki knew exactly what her best friend was feeling 

Kringg..

Phone calls in the office ringing repeatedly broke the silence and a little tension.

"Yes.hallo PT. Charisma---" Cleo replied softly while trying to style her slightly vibrating voice.

Cleo deftly responded to the incoming order and recorded it in detail to create several purchase notes.

For the rest of the day, Cleo spent it so diligently and busily taking care of this that even things outside her responsibility were done to divert her thoughts and feelings for a while. As much as possible whatever he does to spend his working hours.

Kiki knows very well when his friend is in a state of not okay.He is very understanding the inner struggle that his friend is feeling.

Resisting crying and sadness but at the same time he must still behave and work professionally as an employee of a private company. Even though his heart and feelings are broken and broken.

Finished doing his duty as an employee without saying goodbye and talking at all. Cleo went straight to the parking lot of her vehicle and drove it home .

...............

Her cry broke when Cleo was already in the most comfortable and most understanding place about her.In a closed room that always be a silent witness to all her feelings were confused all this time.

Yes, a private room that has become the most comfortable place to pour out all the feelings that Cleo is feeling since she Junior High.

It was there in a blue room that always gave its own comfort to its residents when releasing all fatigue both physical and mental.Only in his room did Cleo spill his sadness because when it came out of his room Cleo will return to being a strong and cheerful Cleo that is how Cleo who always tries to wear a mask when out of her room.

Right now in his room Cleo was crying out spilling all the sadness that ever since he received the devastating news, he was trying to hold it in and still trying to stand firm with a smile that was still falsely on his lips.

Cleo was really upset and restless between believing and not believing what she heard from the mouth of her lover's friend.

"Where Tio might lie, he's Nelson's best friend. She must have known very well what her best friend was doing today, but .." Cleo again tried to refuse to believe what she heard today.

Her thoughts drifted on her memories with Nelson last night.

After a few weeks Nelson was busy with his work.The other day at the office, Nelson sent a note that read "Later tonight I'm ready to pick us up to watch." Cleo was very happy when she got a personal note for her at her desk.

That afternoon after receiving a note from Nelson, Cleo was very happy throughout the day her beautiful smile continued to be seen on her thin lips.

With a feeling of happiness, all the work he did felt so easy and exciting. Time doesn't seem to go so fast.

As quick as lightning was after her workday ended, Cleo rushed home and prepared herself for a date with Nelson tonight 

For almost three weeks Nelson was always busy with his work Several times also he often gave a code and asked about his busyness so that there was almost no time for them alone.

And today all of a sudden Nelson gave her a note for a date tonight.

It just so happened that already these two weeks their favorite movie is being played in all theaters in Indonesia.So tonight is a special night for them to finally be able to watch both again.

............🌹🌹🌹.......

By wearing a plain white T-shirt combined with blue belel jeans. As well as the neatly unraveled curls made Cleo look dazzling tonight.

Tok...

"Non Cleo's been waiting for her boyfriend on the porch!" 

"yes, tell me to wait a minute... It's done!" Cleo tried to calm her heart that kept beating fast because it was too happy.

After it was felt that everything was okay, Cleo also grabbed a long-styled black bag that was on her desk.

"Hi Nelson .." said Cleo

Cleo's cheeks were now blushing red to the praise of her lover.

After saying goodbye to grandma, Cleo and Nelson finally went to watch their favorite movie.

Tonight Nelson's attitude is sweet and romantic. Makes Cleo feel a great happiness. For some reason Cleo felt her longing be cured already. Nelson's gentle and romantic demeanour made all the turmoil and unrest of the last few weeks disappear .

In the midst of the excitement of watching suddenly the lights of the cinema building died. Making the entire audience excited and boisterous.Flexibly Cleo was holding Nelson's hand and inching closer for fear of the darkness.

Cup

Suddenly something wet but capable of making Cleo's heart stop momentarily landed on her cheek. Yes ...a warm kiss has made it to his right cheek. Cleo had not finished controlling the lights back on and the film continued.

Cleo was increasingly unfocused on what she was watching. He felt his face warm."Duh how is this my face must be this blushing. Shame on Nelson to know." Inner Cleo.

Fortunately, none of this happened. With the tip of his eyes Cleo saw her lover had returned to focus on the film he was watching.

After feeling safe, Cleo finally began to feel calm and refocused on the film.

"For the sake of someone I love I'm willing to make him hate me and stay away from me as long as he's happy and safe." One nice word Cleo got from the movie she was watching somehow the words stuck in her head.

"I'm gone doesn't mean I no longer love you but it's because of my love so great that I can't afford to hate you even if you've ruined me " One more series of sentences that were very stuck in Cleo's heart from the movie they were watching today.

Suddenly something clear and warm flowed thinly at the end of his eyes. And the building lights are on the movie sign is over.

Still carried away with the storyline and sad story at the end of the film they watched. Cleo was just speechless and lowered her head trying to hide her feelings that were managed to be cheated by the story of the film they watched which was supposed to be an action film but at the end of the story so managed to ruffle her sensitistic feelings.

"We go home straight away it's night" Nelson asked as he walked to his motorcycle parking lot

Cleo agreed to it. Because tomorrow they have to work.

Arriving at Cleo's house. Nelson paused for a moment as if he were thinking hard. Then he looked at Cleo for a moment "I'm thirsty can stop by?"

Cleo who had gasped with the gaze of Nelson who somehow felt something was hidden.

"Oh, can you sit down. I'll get you some water inside" then Cleo goes inside the house and gets a drink for her boyfriend.

Not long after, he went back to his girlfriend and gave her a bottle of mineral water.

"Tomorrow I'm not going to the office" said Nelson after sipping mineral water. And his hand was busy playing the bottle in his hand

Cleo looked back at her lover "Why? Any work out of town?' search Cleo.

"Hm ...." Nelson nodded slowly.

"I can't go with you" said Cleo

"You're just here. I heard you already have an event agenda with Gea and Kiki want to try a new culinary that is viral .You go with them. Ntar I'm back we go together again okay." said Nelson.

Cleo was silent. I don't know why there's such a heavy feeling about taking Nelson off tonight. There was a very fear of loss that suddenly surrounded him. Cleo feels that if Nelson leaves tonight he will be lost forever.

"Yes already.. You sleep now tomorrow morning leaving for work, right? Sorry I can't pick you up tomorrow ."Nelson kissed Cleo's forehead gently.

"It's okay, you take care of yourself. And quickly back I must have missed you so much." then Cleo hugged Nelson so tightly.

Cleo herself did not know why she felt as if she said hug your lover tightly, because maybe this is your last hug with her.

................................

Cleo regained her senses and wiped off her tears. Nelson's memories last night made him aware of all the unspoken questions yesterday.

"So this is the answer to the sadness I suddenly felt when I hugged her yesterday" Cleo thought.

Tio's words back in the office this morning were ringing in his head."You know not yet Cleo, if Nelson's engaged today." The short words spoken from the mouth of Tio Nelson's best friend and co-worker were like lightning striking during the day.

Cleo's body instantly froze at once. But Cleo was great, she was able to be calm even though her feelings were shattered at that time. He can still survive with a smile remains on his lips until the work hours are over.

.....................................

This is my sixth work I hope you like it.

Sometimes behind a smile of a person, there is a deep WOUND in his heart.

Let's not forget to follow the story of Cleo's life and her struggle against all the sadness of life she went through.
