Passion Script

CHAPTER XIII

Wulan!

I almost shouted his name. The overwhelming relief felt as if it were ambushing my entire chest cavity as a cool air when I saw his face. I could no longer hide the hues of happiness on my face until my smile was wide enough. The worry, pressure and jealousy I once felt instantly evaporated with the sneer. I feel really happy and it has nothing to do with Setya. I wanted to meet him and embrace him like two people who have not met for a long time.

Ah, I finally found it!

The look on her face when I saw her was difficult for me to read, except for the shock from her eyes which then dimmed again. He has changed a lot, especially his eyes. As if there was no life there. Cold and heartless. Even so, I admit that she is getting more beautiful and mature.

“Away from your house.”

He just kept quiet.

"I'm like someone who knows!"

“What interests are there with me?”

I'm appalled. Apparently I'm here not having any preparation. Know-how comes and finds without making excuses. Maybe it's because I didn't think he could change so far. His eyes were implying that I was a threat. He's not making any pleasantries at all.

“I want to take you to see Setya. She's sick and she wants to see you,” I said later. I'm trying to use his way. Short, fast and no pleasantries.

“Severe?”

“Lumayan.”

He's really changed. There was no worried expression from his eyes. Whatever he said and heard, it did not change his facial expression at all. At first glance, maybe I can guess that he doesn't like Setya anymore. And maybe he won't want me to go see Setya.

“Means I have to come to Coral?”

“Iya.”

“I have to take care of the leave. I can't go home in a day. At least I need three days.”

Crazy one! Quick. He's very fast. I had to stop myself from gaping when I heard the answer.

“Sample stay where?”

“Install ..” I remember.

“... lodging Roni?” guess it.

I nodded immediately.

“My house is not far from there. But sorry, I didn't let you come by the house. I can take care of my cut quickly. No later than the day after. The rest, we make a deal," he said solidly.

"Home?" I was surprised by the frown. I guess, just like Nanang told me, he just contracted or stayed in the mess. My heart was troubled again. I'm afraid that if she's married, it's not just engaged as Setya knows.

"Oh," he said with a gesture of understanding my question that was so short just now. "I've been moving here for two years. It's real to be here. My parents live here too."

I just nodded even though I wasn't really satisfied with the answer. I wonder if he is married or not. But somehow it's hard to say.

"Can you save my number?” he said he pulled his phone out of the small bag he was wearing.

“Oh, yes!"

I quickly pulled my phone out of my pants pocket like a gago.

“It is better that Sampean leave immediately,” he said after mentioning his mobile number. “Here there are not many guys who are decent. According to the assessment, this Sampean is quite handsome. If Sampean does not want to be bitten by curious girls, it is better to immediately run away.”

I suddenly became alert and alert. My eyes were looking around. The girls did glance or even look at me for quite a long time, but no one had a face or even struggled to ambush me. And even more unlucky, when I turned to her with alluding eyes, she still remained with an expressionless face. Goddamnit! Did he mean to be taunted or praised?

“Don't forget miskol!” he said as he began to step.

“Eh, wait!”

He stopped his steps and turned back to face me. “What?”

“Setya said, you're engaged. Is true?” I asked in the end and very carefully.

He just nodded.

“What if your fiancee finds out? Will he let you say what it is?” ask again. “I'm afraid that you've got a problem.”

“That's none of his business.”

I'm dumbfounded.

Without further ado, the damned girl immediately headed for the employee bus parked not far from Nanang parked my car. Then his figure vanished into the bus without seeing me again even for a moment. I felt really upset, but not for long. Because the next second, my thoughts and feelings were wrestling.

He is not the Wulan. Not only has he changed a lot, but he has changed a lot! Especially eyes. He's getting really creepy. Even he could intimidate his interlocutors even with just his dying gaze. There was no light there. But that's exactly why I'm worried. Because his almost dead gaze was very capable of inviting curiosity.

What would Setya think once she met him? Will a pair of eyes that like having lost his life be able to lock my lover's attention and hold him captive? If so, will our relationship be the same as it was before he expressed that damned wish? Ah, no! Because in fact, long before the desire was expressed, it is certain that such an idea first sparked in his brain. And as the girl's face and name wriggled in her memory, her heart became no longer the same.

***

The new time shows at 02.00 WIB. on my phone screen. I rubbed my slightly greasy face using my palms. I felt a liquid wash over my eyes as I rubbed my face. Not without reason I suddenly woke up at that hour.

I dreamed of being on good terms with Lu Zhao Yao's character. While Mo Qing's character became our senior in the dream and I liked her a lot. I really hope she can be my girlfriend. I want him to be mine. But unfortunately, Mo Qing clearly showed her reluctance being close to me. Worse yet, she turned out to be dating Lu Zhao Yao and unhesitatingly showed their romance in front of me.

What a sweet dream. But it's not that simple! Because I shed tears before I finally woke up from that dream. It was not just a bad dream that suddenly appeared and showered me with jealousy. Rather a savage dream that eventually threw me into a miserable feeling. Because nothing else and nothing, the dream has dragged me into the past or even dragged the past itself directly in front of me.

My heart is like stoned! I really didn't think that the memories of the past were still stored. Moreover, I was so sure that the past was far away. The proof is, I've been feeling fine all along. But why just because the dream is not clear, I can baper like this? What's wrong? Even I feel like I'm doing my best in improving. In fact, those memories of the past still undermined the likeness of a mole that prepared my grave. Really too!

 

Ah, no! After I thought more clearly, the dream appeared not without cause. Yes, this afternoon, just like the tragedy of being struck by lightning during the day, I saw a face that I never thought would appear before me. Even I expected it not.

It is Rendi.

Although the character of Lu Zhao Yao who appeared in my dream was a woman, in reality, she was just another form of Kak Rendi. Because it is not funny if I am jealous of Kak Rendi who is chosen by Mo Qing as Setya even though it is only in a dream that no one else knows. But that's the truth! And that's the reason why I can't argue like other friends when Vita asks. What is nothing but not because I have also fallen in love with a guy and still love him until now.

Unlike Vita who is just a presumption of people gossiping, I clearly know that Setya is indeed a guy and Kak Rendi is his partner. However, if Setya is willing to leave Kak Rendi, I am willing to accept it and all its shortcomings. Yes, I want it and am ready with all the risks! Crazy, right? But that is how I fell in love. Maybe you guys too.

Y'all know? At that point I had felt a selfless love, one that was unconditional despite being flawed, and one that eventually clapped one hand.

My love for her is so deep. He's the one who first made me fall in love, really fall in love, then get jealous and end up heartbroken. Because so deep love, I also became difficult to distinguish between love and hate. Both are far different, but feel like brothers if the sense of longing becomes a unifier. If I used to curse him as a criminal for not being able to repay my love, then now, when I met Maulana and got engaged to him, he said, I came to understand that not being able to repay the love of others is a BURDEN.

And you know, Setya, my mistake for forcing my love on you five years ago, I have paid for it now. And everything I'll take into account LUNAS once the two of us have met.
