SOULMATES

Regrets of the past

"Cappies no?" tanyakene,

"A little" I reply

We lay down, staring at the glass that could see the clouds, and she put her hands down as a pillow for me to sleep on.

"Should have been, 11 years ago, Aa had brought Ine here, starting a new life together, without any sad story. Mami left with a smile when at the end of her life, there was Ine next to her, and everything would be fine" he said reminiscing about our past while shedding tears.

"Why Aa was so stupid, leaving Ine back then. At that time, Aa was just dreaming, being one of the people Ine was proud of in front of mom and dad. But, what makes Aa sick more, look at Ine's life. Sorry, my dear"

I hugged her, and wiped the tears that had come down from her eyes.

Let us be apart then,

let all the past move away from me,

let my sadness in the past go away and change my happiness.

All I know, since Aa took her vow to be my husband, my life will be happy again.

My steps that had faltered, now someone encouraged me to keep going.

Thank you God..

You're giving me happiness again.

You answered all my questions, when I fell.

I fell asleep with tears in my arms,

Whether tired or drowsiness excessive, I missed the moment of sunset.

Our door was knocked on by someone.

Aa let go of her embrace very slowly.

"Sorry, doc.. Alka forced to play into this room" said Mr. Min

Aa smiled, looking at Alka.

"It's okay, sir.. Maybe he wants to play with his mom. That's mama, son. Mama sleep. Oh yes sir, after Maghrib get ready. We're going to get some food" said Aa, then shut the door.

The little boy came up to me and kissed me.

"Mama,"

I opened my eyes, I saw Aa and Alka beside me.

I did what he commanded. As usual, we worship together.

When I'm done, I get dressed up because Aa's gonna take me to dinner,

"Look easy, baby. Don't wear shoes. Sendal pinch. We're gonna take a walk around here somewhere close"

We ended up eating at a hotel restaurant. Alka was running around here and there, I saw her and grabbed her.

"Alka, eat it sit down baby."

Then I bribed him.

After we finished we left the hotel to check out the atmosphere.

"Son, if we can go to the hotel first, Kasian Alka, the air is cold" said Ms. Min.

"Oh yes, Kasian Alka, you may..Tomorrow we go again. I and doctor Yopi, still want to walk ya ma'am, tipped Alka ya ma'am" said I.

We stopped, and saw them all the way to the elevator door.

We walk to the crowd at the end of the road, it turns out there are street buskers.

The twang, I seem to know the song, though,

Aa hugged me from behind, because she didn't want anyone to nudge me. My small body, exhausted by his stout body.

That song, that old song, Ricard Marx.

I enjoyed the song, the song, when I missed Aa.

How many dreams will end

How long can I pretend

how many times will love pass me bye

until I find you again

I hugged his hand that hugged my body.

"Now, I find you again, and our dreams come true" I said slowly

"I'll always be big, you.

until we died, and I hope we will die together" he said
