Chapter 17's

I cried almost all day. My right hand holds his hand. My left hand holds Andre's. Grandma rested in the room and gave us three minutes.

They were busy entertaining with sweet words. I heard them clearly but my heart was not comforted in the least. All I have in my head is a prayer for those I keep repeating.

That day I did not eat and they both accompanied me. Do I feel guilty? Sure oes. Did I do anything about that? No. gabe. You can't imagine how I felt that day.

Every time I talk, the only words I regret. The two of them always stopped me before I regretted any further.

I didn't think it through. They know me so well, but they ask me to forget them. That's something I can't possibly do. Not because I'm stubborn but because they're so valuable to me. They're so special. Only they have a special place in my heart.

After crying, I fell asleep. The energy in my body flowed along with my tears. I fell asleep on the couch and woke up when it was dark.

I feel warm and comfortable. I leaned on something warm and fragrant. And I can hear his heartbeat and his breathing. I leaned on the shoulder of the man beside me with a blanket covering both of us. He did not sleep and realized that I was awake.

“Kak Andre?” my voice was hoarse after crying and sleeping for a long time.

“She's asleep in the room. Are you calmer?”

I nodded slowly. My energy is completely gone.

“You want to see the stars?” tanyakanya.

I nodded again. But before I stood up, he lifted me up in his arms and took me to the porch of the house.

“I always want to do this,” he said not shy. I can't say I never wanted that but I also don't want to say I want the same thing because those words sound like a farewell to my ears. I could only stop myself from crying again.

If I cry, I don't know where the energy is.

We sat looking at the star cluster. None of us spoke. We lean shoulders with shoulders to fit in one blanket. I put my head on his shoulder as if I had done it many times.

After sitting for a few hours in silence, we saw a shooting star and I immediately sat up straight, closed my eyes, and prayed that I could see the two men again. I pray that they stay alive, whatever the cost.

When I opened my eyes, the man still closed his eyes. My hand automatically stroked his face and he saw me. He held my hand fixed on his face before I could pull it and we stayed in that position for quite a while.

“Can't we not tell our hope to the shooting star if we want to reach?”

Someone is saying that. But who knows the hope may or may not be said with others in order to be achieved. I don't really care. But without saying it, we both knew our expectations.

“Gis, promise me one thing,” the door is sincere. “Whatever happens, always listen to your heart. If one day there is a man who managed to get into your heart, do not stubbornly refuse him.”

“If you come back, I don't need another man. I promise I will love you forever,” I try firmly.

“I don't need that promise. But if I come back,” the man puts his hand gently on my cheek, “I will make you fall in love with me every day. I won't give time for your heart to fall in love with someone else.”

“Therefore you must return to me. You have to keep all your promises to me,” I started whining again.

“I sometimes wish you'd forgotten all this. If you forget us when we disappear, whatever happens will not hurt as you remember it,” he spoke so softly but the silence of the night helped me hear it clearly.

“I don't want to forget all this. But if it can get you guys back to me, I don't mind forgetting about it. And if I forget, promise me you'll make me fall in love with you again.”

He's nodding. “Didn't I tell you. If I come back, no matter what happens, I will make you fall in love with me every day. I won't let you go.”

I hugged her and let all my weight rest on her. I feel tired and sleepy again. But my heart is much calmer. It is not only those who are willing to sacrifice for my happiness. I am willing to sacrifice so that they are happy. If I have to pay, I'm ready. Even I prefer it to be me who bears the consequences.

In the warm embrace, I began to fall asleep. My consciousness is almost gone. My body feels really heavy and I'm ready to go into the dream world. And that's when I heard his true promise.

“Gis, there's a lot I want to promise you. But if there's only one I can keep, I promise I'll get back to your side. Even if I no longer breathe, I will always be by your side. Become your guardian angel and will bring you your true love. I will give you the best man who can make you happy and replace me. So, please.. live happily.”.

I heard it so clearly and tears were dripping from my eyes. I can't get up and tell her something. I was too tired and slowly, I slept in my sleep.

His words were like a dream, but I knew he was really saying that. The next morning I woke up in my bedroom and the words were still ringing in my ear as if he were saying it once again.

I immediately went out of the room to say what I couldn't tell the man last night. I immediately ran over and opened the guest room door without knocking first. But there was no one in the room. None of their belongings were scattered on the floor. There was no longer any sign of them and my knees felt limp for a moment.

Grandma who just came out of the room saw me fall on the floor and immediately hugged me. He saw an empty room and cried with me.
