The Heart-Bitter

Back Home

The image smiled at Julia's expression, but her feelings were still very painful. Finally he decided to go home, there was no hope. The longer he's here the more his heart hurts.

"I beg you to excuse me to go home Brother" Citra pleaded. Then stand up from the sofa.

"I'm glad you came, we can talk a lot, I don't have a sister, but if you want to go home let's take Mas Andri later." Julia smiled again, Citra back flabbergasted. Julia wiped away the tears of the melted image she had cheeked with her delicate fingers.

"Let Mas Andri escort you, give him a chance to make amends to you."

Tears Citra finally spilled unbearably, Julia immediately pulled back Citra in her arms, her hands caressing the hair of a very fine image. The image still continues to sob in Julia's arms.

"I know how you feel sick, but I beg you not to hate us. Apalag hate Mas Andri. We can still have each other, you can play anytime here. Think of it as your brother Mas Andri, and I'm always ready to be your brother."

After her cry subsided Citra took off her embrace, she fell silent then smiled and snuggled, she grabbed Julia's right hand lowered a little and stuck it on her forehead. He stepped out, when his eyes met Andri who was ready at the door to take Citra home. There was a clumsy atmosphere between them. The two were silent, Andri stepped first to his motorbike and immediately turned it on, Citra was almost at the front of the gate when his eyes caught the package he was carrying still lying on the terrace table of Andri's house, and his, he ran back and approached Julia.

"I almost forgot, I was able to make cake helped by mom, please accept, brother, hopefully you like." The image immediately hugged Julia tightly and said softly in Julia's ear, thanking her.

On the way home the two no longer talk, Citra hesitated to hug Andri's waist, but a second later she remembered Julia's last sentence. He hugged Andri's waist tighter than when they left, his head leaning on Andri's shoulder. The image of smiling, he shocked himself when he saw himself from Andri's rearview motorbike he could already smile. Until the front gate of his house Citra rushed down but his hand was grabbed by Andri.

"Partner, I'm sorry!" Andri begged to look at him expectantly. The image was silent, he looked down at his hand which was still held by Andri. Finally Citra looked back at Andri, Julia was right, Andri did the sporty thing to him. Although it was very painful but Andri did not let their relationship continue surely because he cared about her, thinking about her future. Andri's affection for her was shown in a different way. He smiled, and nodded to Andri, then turned around and walked into his house.

Entering through the family room, Citra saw her parents were sitting there relaxing. At first he wanted to go straight into the room and lay down his body in a mattress while forgetting what happened today, but finally he decided to come and join them. Seeing the empty face of his daughter who should be happy makes both parents become anxious.

"How was the meeting with Andri's parents? Smooth or any obstacles?" Mother asked.

"Then what happened? Did Andri hurt you?" His father asked with a huff.

"No! Andri didn't hurt me, but he lied, I wasn't invited to meet his parents, but I was invited to meet his son and wife." Citra answered her father's anger in a flat tone, as if it was a common thing to happen to her. Both of his parents were very surprised to hear the unexpected information and also shocked because of his daughter's attitude that looked at it like a normal thing. His mother immediately approached, sitting next to him, Citra immediately lay her head on his mother's lap. Citra then told her what she had experienced earlier, her mother heard while stroking Citra's hair.

"So Andri has been trying to reject you, but she can't, and finally before it's too late she confesses everything in an unpopular way by men." His father said in a huffed tone, his frustration and disappointment at Andri who had disappointed his daughter was clearly visible, but because Citra told him with a heart that had accepted the reality, the emotions of both parents were well controlled.

"Rubber! A normal man would choose one, ignoring the feelings of the other. Pretty classy, too, that bastard." Citra smiled hearing Andri called a bastard but got praise from his mother.

"But when you come they get into fights, bickering, fighting or something?" His father asked curiously to Citra.

"No, his wife Andri had already kissed that her husband was enamored with me, but she did not confontate with him, not showing him her jealousy and anger at being cheated on. He chose to use a different strategy to take Andri back. She chose to be my competitor, she improved the quality of her service to her husband, becoming the wife her husband really wanted. His wife is very beautiful, a scholar and has a pretty good position in the company, especially they already have two children who are very smart and funny, naturally if Andri prefers to return to his wife." Citra tried to tell her admiration for Julia to her parents. Both of his parents listened in silence.

"Wow! Its Different Class! If I had been Andri's position, your mother would have kicked me out of the house, all my clothes had been thrown out the gate." His father Citra jokingly seduces his wife.

"Not that! I'll call the circumciser, let 'your bird' get together twice." Citra's mother answered her husband with a fierce look.

"God! Dong mine." His father immediately crossed his hands in front of his pants, his behavior immediately got laughter from his wife, and the three laughed.

The image of smiling listening to his parents joking cheerfully, it shows how they maintain harmony and love between them with open mutual and good communication, so Citra has never heard of a third person tempest happening to her parents' story.

The image does not know what happened before between Julia and Andri, but how Julia overcame her problem is not an easy thing, it takes a very extraordinary mental patience to control such emotions. Julia must be very sholekhah can be like that, because she also often saw Andri who never left his five-time prayer. The Lord granted the prayers of Julia, who remained patient despite being persecuted, and Citra became very guilty when she realized for a very long time she had not prayed and worshiped well. Life that is versatile and easy to get everything makes him forget to his god. The Lord reminded him of the events of today that he was only a creature with many weaknesses. There were no tears on his cheeks.
