The Desire Tarnished

Melda's father is my papi

"Thank you for the phone, baby!! Vishnu Gumam.

Vishnu looked so agitated, he still called Wine many times but the call was not answered.

While Wine just looked and let his phone ring.

Shortly after, a message came in on his phone.

"Winner..I know you don't want to pick up my phone!"

"I want to talk to you!"

The message was read, Vishnu immediately called Wine.

"Hello!" 

"Yes, Vishnu! what's up?"

" Dear, I want to see you! 

"But!"

"Please, don't shy away from me!!"

"All right!"

"I'll wait at Rihanna's cafe at 5pm!"

"okay!"

Wine immediately cut off his phone connection. Today the weather is not so friendly, the rain from last night has not subsided. The rainy season made the air cooler that afternoon. Wine laid down his body, in fact he wanted to sleep and calm down, shutting himself up in his room. But phone calls and messages from Vishnu make his mind disturbed. 

Wine decided he wanted to end his relationship with Vishnu, not without reason, Wine felt Melda was more worthy to accompany Vishnu than him. How could he possibly compete with his own friend.  Moreover, it turns out that Melda's father is her Papi who has been in his car and could be Melda and herself brothers.

The sound of the door being knocked.

"Get in, not in the lock!"

"Hi, Wine!!"

"Yesterda!!"

"Am I bothering you?"

"Of course not!!" Wine smile.

"Finally, I've had a hard time contacting you!!"

"I'm again preparing for my thesis, mel!!"

"Oh.. Congratulations, hopefully the script will be smooth!"

"Wine, I'm sorry! I really don't know about my matchmaking plans with Vishnu!!" 

"Melda, I told you, I'm fine!!"

"You're not angry with me!!"

"Why am I angry with my best friend!!"

Wine held Melda's hands, and the two of them hugged each other.

"Melda, you're better equipped to accompany Vishnu than I am!!"

"Have you broken up with Vishnu, because of my match with Vishnu?

"No, not because of your matchmaking! If later you are a match with Vishnu, I am happy!!"

"Vishnu loves you so much, I do not understand why you even support the match between me and Vishnu!!" said Melda.

Melda and Wine looked at each other and Wine hugged his best friend.

"I'm afraid of losing you! You are the best of friends, your matchmaking and Vishnu will not make me angry at you!!" said Wine.

Melda was at a loss for words seeing Wine's unexpected demeanor. Since the announcement of his matchmaking with Vishnu, Wine seems to avoid him and make him feel guilty in the presence of Wine.

Suddenly Wine's phone rang again, Wine immediately picked up his phone lying on his bed.

Seen on the screen Vishnu phone calling.

"Hello, Vishnu!"

"Wine, I'm taking yah to your boarding house!!"

"What's?we're not meeting at Rihanna's cafe!!"

"No, let me go to your boarding house!!"

"Okay, I wait!!"

Wine closed the call on his phone.

"Do you have any promises with Vishnu?"

"Yes!" Wine nodded his head.

"Then I'll go home!!" said Melda.

Melda felt something was different with Wine's attitude towards her. The two friends hugged each other then Melda rushed out of the room, down the stairs to the bottom floor. Wine followed him behind. After delivering Melda to the front of her boarding fence, Wine rushed back to the room. Wine rested his body on his bed, the wall clock showed at 13:45 Wib.

*********

 

In his study Vishnu was very agitated, he saw the clock in his hand many times. Then he took his bag and mobile phone, when Vishnu was about to rise from his seat, suddenly heard the sound of the door being knocked.

Tok

Afternoon, you are busy Vishnu? ask about Dimas.

"Oh..Om Dimas, Not Om!!"

"Om listen you'll be betrothed to Melda! have you broken up with Wine?" while lowering his voice.

"That's the problem, Om! I have absolutely no idea about that matchmaking!!"

"Yes om! but the problem is that Wine wants to break our relationship because of that matchmaking!!"

"I mean Wine asked to break up!"

"Yes, he really wanted me to be able to match Melda!!"

"Why is it like that!!"

"How can I meet the demand of Wine! I love Wine so much, Om!!"

"You better meet Wine!!"

"Yes, um!"

"Well, now you'll find Wine! Oh, hi, yeah!!"

30 Minutes later.

Wine had just finished dressing, he combed his long hair then Wine mirrored.  She put natural makeup on her face and wore pink lipstick, before long Wine sat in front of her bedroom terrace while waiting for Vishnu's arrival. A short message came in.

"Wine, I'm already in front of the kosan!!"

Wine immediately descended down the stairs to the bottom floor, seeming Vishnu was waiting for him. Wine came out of the boarding house and approached this.

"Let's go!" wine said

"You're so pretty, Wine!!"

Wine blushed in shame.

"Let's go!!" while pulling and holding Wine's hand into his car.

25 Minutes later

Vishnu parked his car on the edge of the city park. They decided to talk in the car because the park benches were still wet, because the rain had not subsided.

"Can we continue our conversation yesterday!!" vishnu.

"Wine, do you still love me?"

Wine just bowed.

"Wine Jawab!!"

Wine nodded his head.

"Why did you give up on our relationship? I love you so much and I don't want my match with Melda!!"

"Vishnu, I'm ashamed of you! I feel like I don't deserve to be your lover!!"

"You mean!!"

"I don't come from a fine family like you! you are the son of a successful and respected businessman in this city!!"

"I don't understand the direction you're talking about, Wine!!"

"I mean! Your family will be embarrassed if you choose me to be your life partner!!"

"What's wrong, explain it to me!!"

"Melda deserves better to be with you than me! She comes from the same family as you!!"

"I'm not your equal! I hope you will accept your matchmaking with Melda!!"

"No Wine!!"

"I'm getting clueless with this reason of yours!!"

"Do you want to play me!!"

"No!!"

"Then what makes you change and want to end our relationship?"

"I told you, I'm not your equal! you're faster with Melda!!"

"I don't love him! I love you, Wine!!"

"For what have we planned, for what, Wine?"

"You know, I bought that apartment for us after we got married!!"

"If your reasons, we're not equal! why did you accept me as your lover! why?"

"You're just playing me!!"

"No!"

"Then what?" vishnu's voice is rising.

"Because Melda is my brother!!" yell Wine. 

"What?"

Wine was silent for a moment, he closed his mouth. Hearing Vishnu's words made Wine powerless to cover his secrets.

"Brother! you mean, Wine replied?"

"Melda is my brother! Melda's father is also my papi!!"

"You're sure of what you're saying is Wine!"

"Yes, since I was only 6 years old, I no longer see my papa! but at the party, I saw Melda's father and I was sure Melda's father was my papa too!!"

Wine cried, his tears fell unstoppably, Vishnu grabbed him, trying to ease Wine's cry. 

"Mami left papi with me! I don't know why!!"

"So that's the problem! does Melda know?"

"No, don't tell Melda this! I beg Vishnu!!"
