A woman was hugging a large teddy bear with tears in her eyes. He just ended a video link with someone.
Fifteen minutes ago ...
Riana's phone rang, when she saw whose name appeared on the screen. He could only sigh deeply. Reluctant to answer. However, the person kept contacting her, until Riana gave up and answered the video call.
A picture of a man lying in the middle with a bandage in his hand that he first saw. Riana's chest tightness at that moment.
"Look, Ri. He almost committed suicide" Aska said.
"He's too frustrated and doesn't want you to go" he continued.
Only a sound was heard. Riana could not hold back her tears.
"Ri, gotta go, brother. Ri, don't want to feel the pain too deep. Let this pain Ri, take it away," said Riana.
"Let Ri forget about him. Let Ri live Ri's new life. Ri, don't want to be overshadowed by the past. Ri, also wants to be happy," he continued.
"Ri was sure, as time went on. He will love his wife and will definitely be able to forget Ri."
Aska just fell silent. There was nothing wrong with Riana. Riana deserves to be happy. Riana must have been hurt a lot too. Moreover, he did not know what the real reason was. Riana only knows that Aksa betrayed her.
"Abang is betrothed, Ri," said Aska.
"Whatever the reason, it's all happened, brother. He already has a wife. Ri, don't want to be an actor. Better Ri give up. Ri, who left with a gaping wound. Anyway, Ri female. It must hurt to get the fact that Ri's partner was taken by another woman." Again, Aska was silent.
"Ri and her relationship may not be sanctioned by God. Perhaps also, God has prepared the best soul mate for, Ri. Ri, please, this is our last communication, yes, sister. Ri, want to be free from the shadows of the past."
"I'm sorry, if I'm interrupting. I just want you to know that my brother was hurt."
"We are both victims, brother. No one wins. Ri, please the relationship between Brother's family and Ri's family does not stretch. Ri, there's no need for a showdown. Ri, love you all. Ri, love Mommy and Daddy. Ri, go to forget everything. Not because you hate them." Aska nodded slowly. The smile on her lips also stumbled.
"Ri, close the video link, brother. Ri, take a break."
After the video connection ended, Riana's tears fell unstoppably. It was painful to see Aksa lying weak like that. His body was getting thinner and unkempt.
Tired of crying, Riana was asleep with her hands that continued to hold the doll. A bright morning in the city of Jogja is not as bright as his heart. He sees himself in the mirror. Eye bags that swell due to crying. Squinting eyes as well as panda eyes that look faint.
"Life must go on, Ri," he murmured as he encouraged himself.
Riana is living today as usual. He will be back home when college is over. However, today Riana felt like stopping by a cafe not far from the campus. In the company of two of his best friends. The twins Risa and Raisa.
"That's so flat, Ri?" ask Risa.
"I want to enjoy the afternoon outside the house" he replied.
Risa and Raisa just looked at each other. They see a change in Riana. Especially his very bright shoulder face. But they will never ask. Riana is a very private person. You could say Riana is a very closed person about anything.
Actually, it was Riana's background that made Riana become like that. Especially if he remembers how evil the mother is. Just the shame he felt.
The three of them ordered a choco ice favorite drink at this cafe. Incidentally this afternoon there are buskers who usually entertain cafe visitors.
Risa and Raisa scream hysterically. The face of the guard was very handsome. Similar to Korean artist Kim Soo Hyun. Plus his voice is so sweet. Riana did not care about her best friend. He is engrossed in his own thoughts. Moreover, the shadow of Aksa's face last night is still circling his head.
Half an hour passed, Risa and Raisa started to say goodbye to Riana. However, Riana was still at home in this cafe. Enjoy the twilight from behind the window.
🎶
Let me go
Let me be the one who's hurt
Stop expecting you
Tests.
A clear thread dripped down Riana's cheeks. What a heart-wrenching song. In accordance with the backsound himself at this time.
🎶
Oh God strengthen me
Accept all this
If he was for me
Give him back for me
Riana lowered her head in with a trembling body. Crying without a sound, just sobbing very small and shrill.
"Can I still hope he'll come back to me?" his inner.
Riana touched her extremely painful chest. It turned out that he still could not forget Aksa. It seems like it took him a long time to forget someone he loved as a teenager.
It used to be ignored, when he started to ignore Aksa came bearing a shocking confession. Riana gives a refusal until Aksa does not return for six years.
Come back with a sacred promise and love. Happy is definitely approaching the heart of Riana who is still in love. But destiny says something else. Turns out Riana was lied to. How painful it is when he has to be a witness. A witness between a man she loved so much and another woman.
"Let me go. Carrying a wound in the heart," he murmured who was now wiping away his tears.
A box of tissue appeared before him. Riana looked over. A sweet smile was shown by someone Riana did not recognize.
"The tears of your eyes. Sorry, it made you cry."
Riana took the tissue she was given. However, Riana had not yet opened her voice. While that person was already sitting in front of Riana with a smile that never faded.
"You're not alone. Many people have fared like you. Including me" he said with a smile that remained.
"It was difficult at first, but once it was done it would be easy. Pain will make us strong. Tears will lead us to happiness. Remember, one person who hurts you is not worth as many people who love you. Do not disappoint those who love you. They want to see you happy" said the man.
Riana digested the speech of the person before her, which the person said was true. He can't get any worse. Everything has happened and cannot be stopped. Time cannot turn backwards. Riana could only shake off even though it took a struggle.
"Thank you for the ban," said Riana sincerely with red eyes because after crying. Again and again
the man just smiled.
"I just don't like to see any woman tear up. Especially because of a man. I'm sorry, I've made you cry with the song I'm singing" the man explained with a hint of regret.
"It's okay. I'm the one who's too whiny" said Riana with a forced smile.
The man stretched out his hand. Riana was silent for a moment, hesitating to welcome that helping hand. Riana took a deeper look at the face of the person before her. His little heart said that the man was a good man.
Hesitantly Riana welcomed the helping hand of that person. A very sincere smile from him.
"Arkana."
