The Complicated Love #2

If Life Is Easy

"Why would Mama ruin Saka's marriage, Ma?" saka asked with teary eyes in front of her Mama.

The atmosphere of the hospital becomes more somber, Sheril is still in the ward accompanied by Shena. While Saka is still asking for an explanation from his mother.

"Mama didn't mean that, Saka. Mama thinks, since you married you're the one who sacrificed too much to Riana. When you get into an accident, all Mama has in mind is Riana, an unlucky carrier. He has made you leave this world. But then Sheril calls Mama and says that she accidentally saw you in the hospital. Mom was relieved that you were still given a chance to live a second time. At first Mama didn't believe it, but after Mama confirmed it herself, I was convinced that it was you."

"His position at that time, Mama had already kicked Riana out of our house. Because every time you see his face that is imagined is just how you are lying stiff with the cover of the shroud. Mama's almost crazy for it."

"Mama asked Sheril to keep you company. Especially since knowing that she's divorced from her husband, Mama thought it was a good thing for you to be together again."

"But ... Mama is really outrageous. Mama could have kicked Riana out of our house. I may not remember anything, but I can imagine how Riana must have felt raising Kiano alone. Mama should understand, because mom is a mom. It's impossible to see his son suffer." Close Saka with a high tone of voice.

"I'm sorry Mama, Saka."

"I'm sorry it won't be enough, Ma. Mama see now how the household of me and Riana has been destroyed. Even now she's been with someone else, while I can't lie to my own feelings that I still love her so much."

Without them knowing, it turns out that Sheril heard the conversation going on. He had intended to meet Saka to tell her what happened between Saka and her.

Sheril held a sad breath, Saka still loved Riana.

"Am I too bad to be by your side, Mom? It turns out that until now, I still love Riana. Then what about me? Do I have to be alone again after the failure of a previous marriage?"

The tear seeds hanging from Sheril's eye pelukus have been removed, he stepped with his legs slightly wobbly because he still felt dizzy due to the stitches in his temple.

"Mas, I'm sorry can we talk to you for a second?"

"Why did you leave your room? You better take a break, there's nothing to talk about with Saka." Answer her in-laws ketus.

Though his anger at Sheril is unwarranted. Wasn't she the one who wanted to unite them so much in marriage, now why was she the one who was so enthusiastic to keep the two away again?

"Ma .. I just want to talk to you for a minute. Not more."

"Ma, stop. Please leave me and Sheril." Finally, Saka answered.

Her mother's face was very upset. But he left the couple to talk to each other.

"Because you've remembered everything, now I just want some certainty about our relationship, ma'am." Sheril gets straight to the heart of the conversation. It seems that he has also started to feel that his relationship with Saka will not meet a bright spot.

"I'm sorry, Sher. Regarding our marriage, I deeply apologize to you. I'm confused now, on the other hand I still want Riana to be with me. Moreover, I have a child from Riana."

"I understand, Mas. It would be nice if you could think about it carefully. Whatever decision you make, I've prepared myself. Although it is difficult, but I will try to accept the harsh reality. Maybe it's better, we get divorced, for the common good." Sheril lowered her face, because she did not want to see Saka's face. He would probably waver in front of Saka if he kept staring at the man.

He resigned to the existing situation, because even forcing himself he was sure he would lose.

"Good, Mas. And ... maybe I should go back to Jakarta tonight."

"But .. Your wounds haven't healed yet, Sher."

"I can do medical treatment all the way to Jakarta. Then, I'll take care of it first."

Sheril leaves Saka, goes to see Shena who is waiting for her inside. His sister-in-law did not actually approve of Sheril's decision to divorce.

"Sir, have you thought well? There may be time to fix everything."

"No, Shena. I've thought things through and maybe that's the best way right now. It's free if I keep pushing myself, anyway all Saka remembers is Riana, not me."

"But, Ma'am---

"Tonight I'm back in Jakarta. I'm picking up Saka ya Shen."

"Mr ..."

"I'm gonna take a break, wake me up when it's 6 o'clock."

Shena resigned. He did not expect the honeymoon that would be a happy moment between Saka and Sheril changed in an instant. They have not even had time to enjoy the romance as planned. It turns out Sheril's wish is just a memory.

"I should be able to take Riana back, I can't let her be with Tefan. That man is not a good man, does Riana not learn from her past?"

Saka speaks for himself to convince himself, about what steps he should take to win back Riana's heart.

Time goes on, slowly aging and Saka is still alone enjoying the vast expanse of Kuta Bali floor. He doesn't care if Sheril's really gone or not.

Dusk steals her memories again, to a time where she enjoys the beauty of dating Riana. He once gave Riana a vacation that she would never forget in her entire life.

As dusk grew older and darker, he still stood staring into the sea. Thinking of everything that had happened between him and Riana. Life was like taking him on a long adventure and he got lost. Then when he found the light, he walked towards the light and then when he emerged from behind the light he saw everything was different.

"I'm sorry Riana, I'm sorry my son Kiano. I was never in your growth. Your mother must have taken great pains to raise you, son. Papa apologized once again, if all the time that had passed could be played back I would never have made that business trip. Now, I've lost both of you. It felt, even being stabbed by a dagger many times would not be comparable to the reality I had to accept at this moment. I miss you guys so much ..."

"Armghhh ...."

Saka shouted loudly, hoping that all the upset and grudge that filled his chest cavity could be swallowed by the waves that rolled and licked the beach lips.

If life were easy, then everyone would never be able to learn about the meaning of life.
