Cindy's Confession

Cindy had just arrived at her home from following the catechism in the church. He has been mentored twice with Mr. James, and every time makes him happier. He knew James more and more and more and more confident that James would be a good husband.

"How was today? Smoothly?" mama asked as soon as Cindy entered the house.

"Fluent. Just like yesterday, " replied Cindy.

"Of course it's good. After all, the man would definitely work well together to achieve what he dreamed of!" Madam Prawira responded to her son's reply with a frown.

"Don't do it, Ma .... In any case, she will soon be Mama's daughter-in-law too, " Cindy said as she took off her shoes.

"It is precisely Mama who has not finished thinking with your attitude! It's easy to accept after what he did to you!" talk about Mom Cindy.

"Yes .... His name is also uda. Must move on right, Ma .." Cindy said casually.

Madam Prawira could only shake her head at Cindy's behavior. Then, he remembered the phone he picked up not too long ago.

"Oh yeah, Wendy called. He said he'd come to visit you. It looks like he's worried about you, Cin. Therefore, Mama immediately told me to come after your catechism is complete. He should arrive soon, "reported to his mother.

"OKAY. Then immediately tell him to go up to Cindy's room, Ma. Cindy changed clothes first, " replied Cindy as she stepped up the stairs to her room on the second floor.

While changing her clothes, Cindy remembered Wendy. He knew several times his best friend had tried to contact him since the last time they came home from the camping event. But all this time he didn't care much about it.

Honestly, the atmosphere of his family was in turmoil. Much remains to be discussed, considered and decided. Therefore, he waited for a calmer atmosphere first, then he received a visit Wendy. He knew his best friend would ask from A to Z about this event.

And now, it feels like the mood has improved. The decision has been agreed and is being pursued. It seems fun to also receive the visit of his best friend. However, he also misses sharing with his friend.

Tok tok .... I heard the door of his room knock. Not long after, a familiar voice was heard.

"Cin .... May enter? Said your nyokap you inside."

Cindy opened the door to her room and rushed into the arms of her best friend. Wendy who got a welcome like this, returned the hug of her best friend and patted her back.

After letting go of the longing for a moment, the embrace of the two slipped and they entered the room. As usual, Wendy immediately sat on Cindy's bed.

Not long after, a waiter came to bring drinks and snacks for the two of them. Most likely, it was Cindy's mom who told her to deliver it.

After the two of them stayed in the room, Wendy asked what she was worried about for a few days. "Where are you, Cin? Are you okay ?"

Cindy smiled. "As you can see, I'm good enough."

Hearing that, Wendy smiled with relief. He does know his best friend is cheerful and quite strong, but still no wonder if someone experiences trauma after experiencing something like that. Thankfully, Cindy did not seem to have any trauma.

"So what happened after that? How did your parents react? What about James' fate?" Wendy started asking questions like a journalist.

Cindy laughs. The notion that his best friend would come after him with a question proved evident. He also told about the events that had happened. Starting from the conversation between his parents, Mr. James and the school. How Mr. James got beaten by his father and was let go. Until her father held James responsible to marry her.

Wendy gawks at Cindy's story. It turns out that a lot happened in this short time.

"How serious? Mr James agrees?" tanyakanya.

"He certainly agreed to take responsibility. Mr. James is that, right?" answer Cindy.

"So, how's James' relationship with his director's girlfriend? Your time will be spent?"

"Papa was worried about the same thing. But James said it wasn't going to happen. Doski said he'd break up his girlfriend."

Wendy mustachee heard Cindy's answer. At least, he felt sorry for the fate of this teacher. But anyway, Mr. James must be responsible for his behavior, right?

"So how far are your wedding preparations? When's marriage?" Wendy continued her interrogation.

"Papa-mama wants as soon as possible. Said the pastor if smoothly, next week we can get married. I just got home from pre-wedding tutoring at church with James." It looks like happiness emanates from Cindy's face when she tells it.

"Yes happy .... You know how long I've had a crush on Doski. Three years ago I held back feelings .." replied Cindy.

"Yes yes .... But, whatever ... he's been tainting you, Cin .... Not afraid of what? My outlook has changed with him since that time. You don't think that every day looks like a calm and pious guy, it could be savage if you're drunk, " said Wendy.

Cindy was silent for a moment and it was caught by Wendy.

"Ga really. Ga scared. The important thing is not to get drunk again, " replied Cindy while forcing her smile.

Seeing that, Wendy became suspicious. "Cin .... You're hiding something?"

"Me-hiding what?" ask Cindy nervously.

"Cin's? Sorry yeah .... Honestly, I think your behavior is strange. You ... really allowed to*same Mr James?" ask Wendy carefully.

Cindy's nervousness is becoming more visible. Finally unable to bear it, he let out a long breath.

"Yes, I did! I lied!" answer with frustration.

Wendy was a little surprised to accept the fact that her mangosteen fruit guesses turned out to be telling. He was hesitant to ask his best friend that question. She doesn't want to believe Cindy's lying. But seeing Cindy's suspicious behavior, he had no other guesses.

"So .... Actually .... When James was drunk, you weren't fucked?" ask Wendy to make sure.

Cindy shakes. "Dragon. When James got drunk, he just hugged me tight. He was sweet and spoiled. She didn't seem to want to let go of me, " Cindy said with a smile recalling the memories she thought were sweet.

"But .... As soon as he mentioned the woman's name in his delusion .... I can't stand it, Wen.... I can't take it!" Cindy continued her story in a high tone.

"Keep, because you can't stand it, you want to grab him by slandering him?!" wendy sharp said.

"How are you going?! I can't forget it! Especially after getting her attention when I fell off a cliff, I couldn't let go! Coincidentally there is a chance. I may not have benefited from that opportunity, right? Maybe God pity me?!" Cindy defended herself.

"You're crazy, Cin! It's not love, it's obsession! You have no pity on James sir what? He's got your father stuck, separated from his girlfriend, lost his job, good name, and his future! He was desperately looking for you when you were gone! He really treated you sincerely! This is your reward for her kindness?!" tuding Wendy's.

Cindy fell silent. Mouth scowling. "Yes, how are you going? The ball's been thrown, I can't take it back, right? I could have slaughtered papa-mama if I confessed now. Anyway, papa uda began to accept Mr. James as a prospective daughter-in-law. Even papa has prepared a job for Mr. James in his office. Mr. James must have been happier with a higher position and salary, right?"

Wendy shook her head at the words of her best friend. "One's happiness is not only determined by position and salary, Cin .... What if the teacher is his dream from childhood? What if he may have planned a wedding with his girlfriend in the near future? What about the family who heard about this? Everything is ruined because of your slander!"

Cindy fell silent. So did Wendy. They are immersed in each other's thoughts.

"Vienna .... You are my best friend .... Now ... once you know ... you won't report it to my parents or Mr. James, will you?" asked Cindy in a clear tone, glancing at Wendy.

Wendy sighed. He was also confused as to what to do. "Honest .... Your actions are so unquestionable. I feel sorry for James. I am your best friend! I want to always support you and always pray for your happiness! But .... Being happy on top of other people's suffering is wrong, isn't it, Cin?"

"Vienna .... Please .... This time .. Please shut up! I'm sure I can make James happy ...."

"After what you did was destroy his life .... You sure, Cin?" wendy Syndir.

Getting such a cold accusation, Cindy fell silent. Wendy breathed back.

"Yes hast .... I'll try to shut up. Anyhow .. I love you, Cin .... I want you to be happy. But, think again .... If you really love Mr. James, if you really love him, you should be able to straighten this out. Life bears the stigma of being a perpetrator of abuse is no small matter, Cin .." break up Wendy.

Looking at Cindy who was still silent, Wendy continued her sentence, "I just went home ...."

"Yes. Sorry I didn't drive, Wen .." Cindy said flatly.

"Father. Think about my sentence .." said Wendy as she walked out of Cindy's room, leaving Cindy still pensive about her actions.
