Split To Be Together

The loss of Andre F Damanik

The man said that love should not have. If you love someone, you should make them happy. Even if it is not with us, happiness is created. If he is happy with his current choice, then why still maintain this one-sided love ?

“Abel. . . There are guests. Said your school teame”.

The sound of silence that night awakened Abel's deep sleep. Remove the headset attached to his ear. The left foot, then the right foot works alternately.

“Mah. . Please mamah tell me if I've slept”.

“Lho, but why ? That his friend pity the nights he said he wanted to see the state of kamu”.

“I don't want to see him mah”.

Morning time. Slowly Abel opened his eyes. His eyes were fixed on the sunlight that broke through the window. As if inversely proportional to its current state that is so gray. He turned his gaze and saw the parcel next to his bed. Last night, Abel didn't see him. Mama said he went straight home, and left this parcel. A piece of paper that appears in the box.

... June 2018

Belle . . . ,

*Honestly until this moment, I don't understand your change of attitude. Brother was about to ask Abel what he said last time, when we were sitting at the bus stop. If time still allows us to meet, let brother see the dimples knotted in your face. Allow your brother to hear your voice softly. . .The day after tomorrow, is my sister's graduation day. Big brother wishes you were present. Even if your presence is not for me. . . .

Andre F Damanik*

Second by second. Time passed away. The rays of the sun shone with his cherry. The singing birds warmly welcome the morning. Not to be outdone the sound of a rooster waking up the sound of sleep every living person.

Like a chicken that is confused because of the loss of its mother. That is how Abel felt. The dilemma he has between going or staying silent without seeing his morning hero on that special day. Yes . . today is Andre's graduation day. But apparently Abel's footsteps seemed to bear a very heavy burden so difficult to move.

One bus has passed. Two buses. Three buses. Abel remained in his position without making any changes. A letter was held tightly. Opened, read, then closed again. The activity was done over and over again. Even though he actually understood very well the contents of the letter given by Kak Andre.

The sun was not shy anymore. Now it shines brighter than ever before. When looking at the clock that adorned his hands, it was true that the day was getting daytime. Abel decides to choose the next bus stop to take him to the destination.

After dropping off the foot from the bus. Apparently the unrest increasingly enveloped Abel's mind. He doesn't want to see Andre. But he could not return home empty-handed. After Abel confirmed that Andre had finished school, he went home. Abel's vision was not very clear. Because he only saw it at a distance that was not close enough. Even the person whom Abel was watching was unaware of his presence.

It is undeniable that Abel is happy because Andre managed to graduate school. Abel wanted to meet face to face, shake his hand, and congratulate him. But a very high fortress prevents them from meeting each other, even just reprimanding greeting they can not do.

***

The tears of the sky soaked the arid soil. Quite a long time to stand by yourself waiting for the rain to stop. Concern struck the heart, fear that the school gate had been locked tightly.

“Usually if Abel is in trouble Brother Andre always appears to provide help, even without being asked even though”.

Abel's heart whispered softly. Loss is starting to feel. Abel realized that Andre was no longer by his side. No one greeted her in the morning. Waiting for the bus in the late afternoon, he himself. Now Abel realizes that he has fallen in love with Andre. But what is the power of a woman. No matter how much affection he feels, he cannot be expressed.

With a confident move. An optimistic eye. The knotted dimples on his cheeks, are very inversely proportional to the real heart. Quite clever in hiding his wounds. But he was a little jolted when his friend asked him about his relationship with Andre. Long enough his mouth was locked, not knowing what words should come out of his mouth.

“Alright”.

Maybe that's the word only Abel can say. Without any more detailed explanation, he switched the subject. Apparently Abel did not want to share the difficulties with others. Because for him, this problem was created because of his own mistakes that could not control his perception, so no one has the right to know or even feel the difficulties that now befall him.
