"I feel dejavu tau, Ran" said the man, handing him a bottle of mineral water.
Hearing the words of the man beside her, the grieving Rani was suddenly told to think. "Dejavu, why?"
Endru is smiling. "Yes dejavu, the second time I have accompanied you to sit in a park like this. Under the same circumstances, you cried because your boyfriend hurt and I was there to comfort you. And I don't break my promise, Ran, I'm always there when you need me."
"Yes, sorry. I can only take care of you, Ndru."
"I'm happy, can help you. What do you think a good man looks like?"
Rani seemed to think for a moment. "Hm, that good man, he who obeys his Lord, who behaves well, who always glorifies women including his mother." the woman replied with a smile as if imagining that she would find a man like the one she mentioned.
"Perfect without defects, unfortunately now it is difficult to find a flawless man, Ran. You have to be more careful, because they may pretend to be good in front of you, behind the same rotten." he said, then drank mineral water in his hands.
"What do you mean, Ndru? Are you talking about Bimo?" Rani was slightly offended by the man beside her.
Endru sniffed his shoulder, "It's possible, whatever you want to interpret what I said earlier. But right, Bimo who said your boyfriend was alone with another woman?"
"The woman is just his best friend!" elak Rani's.
"It's funny, Ran. You said they were just friends. But your eyes say everything. You're jealous, you're sick with Bimo's treatment right?" Rani was silent.
"After these repeated events, you are the one who is hurt, are your feelings of love still the same to Bimo?" Endru looked at Rani full of probing.
Endru just wanted to be sure once more. He does not want to wish on a human being who is usually only hurting. And well, now he stands alone without that hope again. Wh why? Because destiny will never run away.
Rani stared back at Endru, she was surprised by the man's question.
"It's nothing I ask like this Ran, I'm just worried about you. I don't want to see you get hurt the other time."
"Why are you, it's none of your business, Ndru. You're just asking me if you forget!" Rani stared at Endru.
"I know we're just friends, Ran. But you forgot I had feelings too."
"It's your fault, Ndru. I told you from the beginning that we were just friends. I'm not responsible for how you feel!"
Endru nodded, a disappointed look clearly imprinted on his face.
"I understand. But it seems my concern all along to you is what do you consider Ran?"
"I don't need your attention, Ndru. I can care for myself. I still have a family, who love me."
"But I care, Ran. I care about you. Can't you feel my love for you all this time, huh?"
Asked like that, Rani could only keep quiet. Lying if he does not feel well treated, loved by him. But it was all nothing more than he considered to be an older brother. Because Endru always tried to protect her, like Aufa's own brother.
But, so far Rani also feels comfortable if adjacent to Endru. Either because he had thought of her as a friend, nor the nature that Endru had shown him.
Now he is caught in a difficult situation. It was very difficult, even just to stare at the man's face Rani felt very embarrassed. Shame for giving her so many false hopes.
"Okay, if you don't want to answer that question. But please answer my question this time."
It seemed that Endru took a deep breath before continuing his sentence.
"Once again, I love you so much Rania. I want us to get married. Do you want to be my life partner, complete every flaw I have?"
Silent. No one spoke after that. Rani also just kept quiet. Trying to digest the sentence that Endru had just thrown at him.
Endru invited himself to marry? It's beyond a doubt. Rani didn't expect this to happen. When with Bimo alone, he had not thought that far. His mind was so messed up, he didn't know what to do now. It was impossible for him to accept the invitation of Endru to marry, while in his heart was stored the name of another man. Bimo is still the owner of it, although he is often disappointed by it.
Endru exhaled slowly, he had already guessed this was what was going to happen. It hurt, but he had already prepared his heart far away today. Then he smiled, as if everything was fine.
"Silent, you reject it. Relax, I will not be angry with Ran. I'm just disappointed with you" he said.
Rani looked at Endru's face deeply, yes she could see for herself how disappointed the man was to her. But how else, his feelings can't be forced.
"I'm sorry, Ndru. But it's not easy, I-I can't." Rani looks like she has tears in her eyes. Now he is filled with guilt.
"I'm sorry I just disappointed you. Hiks, hiks, I don't know if in the end our friendship ended like this."
Endru noticed the crying Rani, without any intention to calm her down. He felt enough to get here, all the feelings he had ever given, that attention now seemed to vanish along with his heart breaking into pieces.
"I can't forgive you, Ran. Because honestly I'm hurt, disappointed with you. But I can't do much at the moment. I just told you to take good care of yourself, because I won't be able to take care of you anymore. Thank you for your time so far, you've been the reason I've been happy so far. May you be happy with your choice." having said that, Endru rose from his seat, wiping away the tears that fell without being asked.
"Ndru, please don't go, Ndru. Don't stay with me, don't let our friendship end here, hiks, hiks." said Rani with sobs. But it was too late, the man had already left with thousands of losses.

One time in your life, you want everything to end beautifully as soon as possible. But what about a start that is not beautiful?
