The Enchantment of the Former

The Enchantment of the Former
Farewell



In the airport waiting chair, a couple sat next to the woman leaning on her man's shoulder. While the man continues to gently rub the head of the woman. For a long time they both sat in silence. They were both immersed in their own thoughts.


Fattan clasped Shazna's palm tightly and kissed her gently.


'' You be careful here, I might be hard to call. If there is anything you say to Mama, said Fattan then kissed the top of his lover's head.


Shazna took a deep breath, then tightened at Fattan's waist. The woman nodded slowly. Fattan smiled, she did not expect that her mother and her lover would be very easy to get along with. She accepted the woman of her choice without any protest.


Shazna straightened her body, releasing her arms at the lover. The woman looked down, staring at the end of the sneakers she was wearing.


'' You ever feel that our relationship is complicated?, '' asked Shazna without looking at Fattan. The man beside her looked pondering. His gaze glared, as if piercing through space.


'' I don't know, I don't know myself. When we can make peace with the past. Trying to open our hearts again, the universe is still playing tricks on us. The distance again separated the two of us, Fattan replied, Shazna smiling bitterly. Because he feels the same.


'' Or maybe the universe doesn't approve of us?, ''' a question that sounds giddy on Shazna's lips. Fattan took Shazna's hand over the woman's lap.


'' Not unappreciating, just testing the feelings and maturity of both of us. I hope we can keep our promises together. We will be rediscovered when I will make you the mistress of Ghifari, Shazna smiled gently, the two met a glance. The shadow of worry was drawn in the eyes of Shazna.


Fattan slipped a strand of hair behind Shazna's earlobe. Then carrying the woman's head closer, then one kiss landed on Shazna's forehead.


'' I wait for you to keep your word, Shazna said, Fattan nodded her head.


'' Certainly,'' said Fattan.


Moments later a voice call for the passengers of the plane was heard asking them to board immediately.


'' I go first, you don't be naughty, '' said Fattan who has now stood up from her seat. The man carried the woman in his arms . Shazna could not hold back her tears. The woman slumped her face in the chest of Fattan's field.


'' Be careful there, do not be tempted by the village flowers, said Shazna, Fattan smiled as he nodded. The man let go of Shazna's hand and brought his lover's body back into the arms.


The man let go of a hug, as the other two friends who were about to leave together had already walked in.


'' I left, '' said Fattan, Shazna let go of Fattan with a thin smile even though her tears flowed from her eyes.


'' Careful, '' greet Shazna in a choked voice, Fattan nods then pulls her suitcase. Stepping away left Shazna standing in place.


Once again, Fattan looked back. Seeing the beautiful face of the lover who looks sad. Both are waving their hands. Repeatedly their story of distance. Could it end the same ?. I don't know, just put it on the will of the universe. Isn't it if the soul mate isn't going where ?.


Shazna exited the airport area, the woman walked by occasionally wiping her teary cheeks. He breathed in, winning his feelings before getting into the car.


Shazna, who was already in the car, sat in silence. The woman rested her body with her eyes closed. This is a farewell to two of the same person. There was a feeling of uneasiness that troubled his heart. What plans are actually written in his life ?. Will he always be unlucky about love ?. Or is there a wonderful plan in his life that he doesn't yet know where it ends ?.


A few moments with his own mind. Shazna regained consciousness when she heard the sound of the plane that had just taken off. The woman looked up at the plane carrying her lover.


'' I will miss you very much, Fattan, '' whispered Shazna who again accompanied by tears. As the plane rose, Shazna wiped away her tears. Then start the engine and drive away from the airport.


While in the plane Fattan was sitting by the window staring at the land below . The land that was initially still clearly visible then only showed a green expanse until when the plane was getting higher there were only white clouds that appeared.


'' Wait for me to come back, baby, '' said Fattan in her mind.


When the man looked to the side. His eyes were wide open to see someone sitting on the bench next to him. A girl who smiled broadly at him .


'' Dilla?, '' said Fattan in a soft voice.
