Title: Revenge or Karma?

_________________________

That girl, why does her shadow still bother me every night? Is it because I feel guilty about him? Or am I just starting to regret ignoring it? I don't know.

Introduce my name davian, I'm a man who said people are very charming with what I have now, I'm not a rich man with a lot of wealth. I'm just a regular guy with a decent life and a body that can be said like a Korean actor (that's what people say), well I'm very grateful for God's perfect gift for me. About love? I often change partners, even though I don't really want them, all I have in mind is 'a man would feel great if he had a lot of ex-girlfriends' said my friends, until I ventured to playb*y, and now my ex-boyfriend can't even count. But none of them were able to reach for my sincere love, maybe it was because they were courting me just for popularity alone, not with their hearts.

All my life, there was someone who was able to shake my heart, but he was not my ex-boyfriend but someone who seemed to like me but could not behave like a girl harbored feelings for a man, he said, all he did was stay away from me, even though I was never good friends even we never chat at all, I don't know why I don't know. Her name is erena, I think I can forget her as time goes by but until now I still can not escape from her shadow.

Since 4 years ago, from the time I graduated from high school until I graduated university, I still remember it clearly even my ex-boyfriend nothing can replace his position in my heart. And now, in this place destiny is back to playing me and him…

Me? It seems I was expecting him to come tonight, tonight is the grand reunion night that our school once held. I don't know what was in my brain that I was expecting him to come and see me, has he changed so much now? Or still the same as 3 years ago when we were high school.

Her name? If the name is not wrong ediva irawati, first when the first reunion he did not come, to be honest I feel disappointed. How could he not come that made me a fool, how could he not? I grabbed the hand of a girl I thought was her and it turned out to be the hand of her close friend 'come in, why is it still here?' ask the girl I know her name mmm ana, 'don't ah, oiya see diva gak?' her question that just made me take off my hand grip 'mmm diva? Which one is it?' my answer is wrong, lest he know that I am looking for diva too. It seems that Ana does not believe my words that do not know who the diva is, in passing away leaving me.

Now I'm determined to talk about this unfinished love, I deliberately look like a Korean actor so that he was amazed when he saw me, but it was all in vain because since I came to the end of the reunion, I never saw the look on his face between the girls who were busy chatting with his friends. Suddenly the crowd in front of the school gate made me a little interested, a lot of men my age were cheering. Diva changed really know, she is now a bit howaaa that' said one of those who I believe is a classmate diva first, said, curious about what I heard I started again looking for the existence of diva who knows now she is sitting alone like her habit 3 years ago.

'sorry, excuse me for going through' deg, that voice, it was the voice I missed so much, the diva where you are, I started to break through the crowd of men who seemed to be swarming over something and 'deg deg deg deg deg deg' it's her, my girl's here but why? Is he different, his face? her looks? Her smile? Why so awesome? 'can you please take me out of this crowd?' her door that made me realize from my million daydreams, I hugged her shoulder took her away from a very scary crowd and I realized that there were many pairs of eyes that were looking at me threateningly, I don't care if I take the diva bravely and choose to sit in a slightly quiet place from where it was. And now my eyes can't blink, is this my diva? The Diva who used to secretly admire me? Is this the diva who never dared to look me in the eye? Is this the diva I never feel back for? This is the diva I don't know, I don't know what to say because now she's a lot different than I first saw her, she said, until I thought that he was a stray angel on earth precisely in this high school. It is time for me to finish this story, with my noble reckless capital opening a conversation with him:

'yes it's me, you, if it's not wrong your name is arya wiranata?' he said with a smile that never faded from his sweet lips, oh I think I will faint

'yes, it's me, I haven't seen each other in a long time, how are you? Who'd come to be honest I was very curious, did he come with his girlfriend? Or her husband because until now I do not know the status is still alone or married

'me (while pointing at himself, but a second later he smiled back, come on don't make me die standing) I came along with my friend, my friend, he said he wanted to see my school first and that he was on vacation he asked me to come with him. But I don't know where he is now, I don't know'

'is that so, um have you approached other friends? I don't think it's because you're stuck in a crocodile cage (with that funny mimic I made up)

'hahahahh you can, I first ya' (while leaving me alone)

Oh, my God what the fuck? Why would he leave me alone in a place like this? I should've held him back and expressed my heart and then he accepted me and we were dating, but what is this? Aish he's really insensitive, can I say he's stupid?. And here I am now who can only watch her from afar, her long curly hair unraveling in the wind adding to her sweet impression, a closed dress that is very fittingly beautiful attached to her body, she said, the smile that had never faded before seemed to add the point of perfection of a princess.

With no courage how slowly I approached her and hopefully she would listen to my outpouring of heart, my goodness she turned to me and now she walks over to me waving her hand, she steps up to me, a little more he arrived and WHAT?!! She's through me?!!!

Now that I'm just sitting there, I don't know what to do, I'm really surprised by what just happened. He, ediva irawati woman who has locked my heart in recent years is now holding the hand of a man who I admit is no less handsome than me, and he was a young, successful businessman named Amir saqi, how could this happen? This opens the story in a soap ad and is not a romantic Korean drama, this is my life that seems to have no luck to me that has ignored someone who has sincerely loved me and what I have done is abandon his true love and feelings. Ediva irawati, are you replying to me now? Or is it karma?.

The End's
