The Enchantment of the Former

The Enchantment of the Former
Obviousness



Under the twilight sky, stand alone. Men with stout stature with a slim fit shirt in white with the arms rolled original up to the elbow. Long black chinos pants are in line with the pantofel he wears. With two hands slid into his pants pocket, the gaze of the man was far away staring at the lake lying before him.


The flash of his past is clearly reflected in Fattan's eye patch. Here, he and Shazna used to spend time together. Passing through adolescence happily. Share stories and create stories. For some people, their love story may be said to be just monkey love. But it wasn't for Fattan. Nana Shazna is engraved in the heart and cannot be replaced.


The first love that made her feel how beautiful and sick her love was. Deciding to separate was not Fattan's absolute desire. He is too deep to love. Every time there was a misunderstanding between him and Shazna he always forced himself to go home. Eventually, both of his parents warned him.


The hardest thing after he decided to separate . As he refrained from contacting Shazna, the longing moment blew up his chest. But eventually he was able to push himself to study hard so that he graduated on time. You can immediately return to your city and rediscover your love.


And it turns out that everything is not as beautiful as he imagined. Shazna has not seen him since he returned. To this day he suddenly meets again with the woman of his past. And he realized time had changed a lot of things. But somehow not with his feelings.


'' Shazna, I've spent a lot of time without you without me being able to repeat. I never knew what was going on in your life all along. All I know is that I still love you, Fattan said in her heart. He does not know whether he is still alone Shazna or married. The man closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The taste inside his chest was too tight . Between the joy of finding a woman from her past and the fear of reality that could have been even more painful.


When dusk begins to fade the color, until orange has darkened up there. Fattan stepped out of the lake that was starting to desolate. Get in the car, with a feeling of emptiness.


The man started the engine, and began to drive slowly. Penetrate the streets are still crowded smoothly. Shazna's smile still danced in the eyes. And at a glance, the shadow of the woman's cold face greeted.


'' Shazna said the man called his former lover's name. His chest felt so tight, like there was a burden squeezing. Can he still take back his love ?. Or did their story end nine years ago ?.


Fattan pulled the car over, paused for a moment the white car and a moment later it turned around. Driving at high speed. I don't know what madness pervades the good doctor's mind . He continued to drive the car at high speed in the opposite direction to his house. Until the man in front of the school gate that read SMAN 20.


Fattan stopped her car, staring at the building that was no longer the same. Many new buildings, even now have increased several levels. The man leaned his back, staring at the building illuminated by the lights that had been lit.


'' And even this place has changed a lot. How can I expect that love to be the same ?. Maybe I was too stupid, to keep walking in place without knowing how to move forward" said Fattan ended with a smile on his lips. The man closed his eyes. Enjoy the feeling of tightness that increasingly squeezes the chest.


For years he had been expecting this meeting. But it actually made his heart tormented. After a long time of silence across the street from the school building. The man returned his car.


And now Fattan's stopped the car across the street from a simple house. The house still looks there like a few years ago. Only the paint has now changed color. Fattan didn't get out of the car, she just stared at the house from her car.


The house was Shazna's residence, the house he knew was empty. But it seems to have now returned to habitation. Seen from a light that lights up brightly from inside. And the shadow of someone who seemed to walk behind the window.


But Fattan didn't expect it to be Shazna, because all she knew was that the house had been abandoned. Maybe it's a new resident. Fattan was about to repurpose her car when a shiny red luxury car stopped in front of the house.


Before long out, the tall man with the full suit stellan. With a tent in his right hand. Fattan abandoned her intention to leave. He looked at the figure who had just gotten out of the car. The man knocked on the door.


And Fattan was wide-eyed when she saw who opened the door. It was clear that the woman was Shazna. His heart rate increased, his feeling as if slashed. Seeing clearly the man pinned a light kiss on Shazna's head.


The instant his heart collapsed, everything changed. His shazna could no longer be contained. Fattan closed her eyes, without knowing her tears were running down her cheeks.


But neither can he blame Shazna. Didn't he choose to leave that woman ?. And on what basis does he wish Shazna still had love for him ?. He who chose to go, the fan is reasonable not if Shazna looking for a replacement ?.


Fattan didn't blame anyone. Maybe it's time he learned to accept. Giving space in his heart to another woman. Fattan breathed deeply. Then start the car engine and drive away from the area where Shazna lives. Without looking at the door of the woman's house.


Today is a day that he will never forget. Meet the love of the past that he still hoped for. And found the woman who was no longer alone. Maybe this is the way the universe reminds itself to step up instead of staying in place.


Fattan continued to drive her car through the night. The sky seemed overcast, as if supporting Fattan's broken heart due to the reality that had slapped her.


The man arrived at a one-story modern minimalist style house. A house that looks empty. Because it's only inhabited by Fattan. There will be a housekeeper coming home in the afternoon. Fattan stepped in, and headed straight for her room upstairs.


Fattan looked around the room with many photos of Shazna and herself there. He grabs one of the figurines with a picture of himself and Shazna in a white-gray uniform. He took that photo. But when he was about to take down all the photos of his chest was painful. He is not ready to lose his past.
