_________________________

“Hai dear, how are you doing there? are you comfortable with your new home?”.

This is the second day I have lived my life without him, without the smile that used to make me smile. His caring behavior, loving me with all my heart now seems to disappear and I no longer feel..

Every time he greeted me with a word of affection, reminding me of something I sometimes forget, until I thought I had really hung my life on him..

The whole day I was with him, until I found it hard to part for even a little while, because being around him were the times when all my grievances and sorrows disappeared instantly, maybe that's why my relationship and he's been going so long.

After six years with her, she changed. Like something was hidden from me. Sometimes it only shows up 2 days a week to see me and say that he misses me so much, then leaves and doesn't show up again for a few days…

I also feel strange, why is he suddenly like this?

Three weeks I let him act like that to me, away from me like I was afraid I would find out something about him…

I was curious, until at last I visited his house to see and greet his family. Arriving at his house, his whole family was shocked to see me coming, in my mind “what is this? they look at me like I'm someone who's come to this house for the first time”.

Shortly after I walked into my lover's room, I was surprised to see his condition was not the same as usual. Skinny body, pale face and no more etched smile on his face…

As I approached her, I shed tears, unable to accept her condition. With a very weak voice he again said the same thing to me “what is the news dear, I miss you so much..”. My tears kept flowing as he said that to me, then I replied “why are you like this? why don't you talk to me that you're sick?”

With a weak smile he said “no what dear, I am even more sick if I see your beautiful face grieving just because of me..”, while wiping away the tears that are currently streaming on my face.

His weak physique was not the reason why he did not smile at me. The smiles he gave out were even more beautiful compared to the smiles of healthy people..

“Good yes dear, clean. later we wash well trus we put in the wallet, so you remember to keep the same face me.” I cried then said “kamu kok that anyway, anyway, although there is no picture of you I will always remember your face why we will both continue right..”.

He then woke up, and leaned on the edge of the bed “sayang, here deh... want to hug you just aja.” I replied “gak want, tomorrow aja yaa”, tomorrow, he then complained and said “tomorrow I no longer want to hug you” with a slightly cranky face.

I then moved to hug him, he smiled “sayang, happy continue yaa, I do not want to see you sad in the least. Although I do not want you, you do not forget to eat as busy as it is, yes..” I replied “gak want, anyway you have to keep ingetin me”.

He laughed, then clasped my hand very tightly “sayang, do you know, only you are the woman who is able to make my life feel perfect, Just you love, inget yes, wherever I am, just a woman who is able to make my life feel perfect, I will always love and love you.”.

I could not feel my tears falling when I heard her words. Soon his hand began to fall off my hand..

“sayang, you why?”

“got baby, I'm sleepy aja.”

“ya you have rest yaa..”

“but don't go, stay here..”.

He always held my hand until he fell asleep and never opened his eyes again…

7 Hours later, the whole family wept over her disappearance, including me…

He really left without taking me with him. I didn't expect the photo he asked me to take with him to be my last photo with him. The beautiful words that he spoke to me became his last words, why God, you separate us like this, if we are not partners, separate us in the same world, don't you separate us in these circumstances.

When we really have a purpose in life, you break it and you don't grow it back. All the beauty and source of all my happiness is her, yet she has you taken away.

It was hard to accept the fact that until now I wished it was just a nightmare and when I woke up he was still by my side…
