”I still love him, Jardon. But, no matter how hard I try, I won't be able to have it. Really, I really wanted to see him, but what for?” there was a tone of resignation in David's speech.
”For... Friendship, maybe? Yeah, just for friendship doesn't hurt, does it? Meet, Dave! Today he will go.” Jardon
persuaded him.
”I don't want you to regret it later. Mind my words, Dave! (See my words, Dave!)” Jardon said again. This time he was serious.
David's eyes glazed over. Heart rages. Immediately, he ran away from Jardon. David picked up his bike and immediately he paddled. He ignored his body shivering because it was rained with snow. All he thinks about is one, Maryam. Yeah, he should
meeting Maryam.
***
Angel waved his hand as the black sedan drove slowly away from Maryam's house. No doubt, Angel cried sadly. He just had a new best friend, but for a moment he had to lose.
Maryam was no less sad. From behind the glass of his car, he continued to look at Anggel who was getting away, as if still not satisfied to see his best friend for the last time. Somehow he wanted to undo his intention to leave, but it was too late.
Khaled, who was in a car with him, could only be silent. He silently watched Maryam from the reflection of the car glass.
***
”That's the car, Dave! Pursue if you want to say the last word to Maryam!” Anggel said in a hurry to find David arrived shortly after Maryam's car left.
David kept pedaling his bike as hard as he could.
”Mary.... Mariam.... Maryam...!” Shouted David. With the rest of his strength, he chased the car with the pedal of his racing bike.
”Mary....Justjust stop...! Mariam...Stop...!” Shouted David again.
Maryam pias once saw the figure of David was behind, trying to chase his car.
”Drive this car quickly, Sir!” Pinta Maryam to the family driver. Removing the remaining tears that still bathe his cheeks.
Khaled felt pity when he found out David was so determined to meet Maryam for the last time. While Maryam's father and mother did not lose pias. But they prefer to be quiet, not knowing what to do.
”Mary... I'm begging... I want to talk one more time... For the last time..!” Shouted David.
”Stop the car! (Stop the car!)” Maryam's father told her to stop the car and then told Maryam, ”Down, son. Meet him for the last time.”
When he found out the car was stopping, David immediately threw his bike. He ran towards the car. A moment later Maryam got out of the car.
”Mary.... Mariam... Maryam...!” Shouted David approaching. Maryam walked a few inches closer to David, but then stood up
stuck in place.
They were equally glued in their respective places, exactly thirty centi their distance.
”We'll never touch each other, right? Because it took forty years for your Lord to forgive us,” David said breaking the silence between the two of them.
”I... I still love you, Dave. But I have to leave for this story to end, because I know forever we won't be together. We're different. We can never be put together.” Mary's lips twitched.
”I know. Our love may be wrong, Mary, but God has grown this love so deeply in you. I will try to understand and accept that we cannot unite. Even if you leave me, I will still love you, Maryam. I will not take away this love. Now leave. The important thing is God still loves us, still with us.” David shed tears.
”Yes, most importantly God still loves us.” Maryam repeated David's words, trying to convince herself.
”Go Maryam. I'm willing to let you go. Go!” David Said.
Maryam was silent.
”Go. If you don't want to go back to your car, I'll go first.”
David pedaled his bike vigorously, leaving Maryam behind, piercing through the thickening snowflakes, piercing his bones.
”It's okay our love can't be fused, Maryam. The important thing is that God still loves us,” whispered David's heart.
***
Two years later.
The city of Dubai is so hot, the sun is like a giant fireball burning in the sky. In an apartment, two brides were sitting facing an Arab-faced ruler. The room seemed so crowded, frenzied watching two human children who would
tie up.
Maryam, the bride, looks very graceful wearing her bridal dress. Meanwhile, Khaled, the groom, smiled meaningfully beside him. The jab of Qabul has been confirmed between the two. Khaled quivered as Maryam kissed his hand reverently. Nuda's bride was beaming happily, while Maryam still left a grief that never lasted for two years parting with David Stuart.
In the room, Khaled sat on the carpet of his soft velvet, while Maryam sat nailed to the side of the bed, turning her back to Khaled.
”Can I touch you?” asked Khaled trembling.
Maryam looked down, she was crying so much.
”Maryam, why are you?” ask Khaled to worry.
”Khaled, will you be a little patient waiting for me until I completely forget about David? If I really forget it, I will give myself completely.” Maryam was crying.
Khaled speechless. There was disappointment in his heart.
”Please...” pinto Maryam.
”Alright, Maryam. I will wait for you, until you are truly ready to accept me as your husband,” replied Khaled resignedly. There was a cloud in his eyes.
”Now sleep. You must be tired, right? Don't worry, I won't touch you. Believe!” Said Khaled again.
Maryam laid her body slightly awkwardly. Khaled covered her, then decided to sleep on the sofa in the room.
***
Days, weeks, even months, Khaled waited for Maryam to touch her body. But Maryam did not allow Khaled to touch her. One day, Khaled sat next to Mary.
”Maryam, I give up. Today... Yeah, right today.. L'm... L'm... I'll divorce you..”.
Like being electrocuted, Maryam was shocked to hear Khaled's sudden words.
”Khaled, I beg you not to do that. Right now I'm ready if you want to touch me.”
”I've got your mentality. It's too late, Maryam. After this I'll take you home. I doubt you will be able to accept me, because you are still not sincere to marry me.” His voice vibrates.
”I'm sorry, Khaled. I'm sorry.” Maryam.
