The Imperfect Eve

Cansu

In a clinic located in the center of the city, sat a girl while staring at her portrait. Or rather, a portrait of her and her former fiance. Anyone staring at the portrait would argue that the girl was a lucky woman because she managed to get a great man who was targeted by every woman in the capital.

"Caileh, Sz. Want to see when you're gonna stare at that shitty portrait? If I were you, I would have torn the portrait apart and thrown it into a crocodile cage." Gerutu Mehek, Cansu's best friend who always supported him in a state of joy and sorrow.

"You don't have to say that in front of me every day. Just as you never get tired of repeating the same words, I will never listen to your words either." Reply to Cansu while blinking her thin lips. Instead of Cansu being stubborn, he simply could not let the portrait of the man who had already hurt him just be stored in the warehouse. He wanted to see the annoying figure that had made him cry was always in front of him, so it would be easy for him to always hate him.

"Yes, it's up to you. I'm tired of telling you, too, but you don't listen. Look at it later, it's time you'll thank me." Upset Mehek, he stuck out his tongue as if he was a child who was too confident would win against his opponent.

"Yes, alright lady. You win and I lose. Are you satisfied?" Cansu cupped both hands in front of his chest. If it had been like this, Mehek would have felt flying in the clouds. They've been friends since childhood, and look at them! They always argue for the little things. Either Cansu was too outspoken, or Mehek was being childish? They are friends who will protect each other in every situation.

"Can I ask you a question?" Mehek opened his voice again even though he knew Cansu looked busy with the computer in front of him.

"Mmmm!" Reply Cansu briefly without looking at Mehek's curious face.

"When are we going back to Bandung? I miss Aunt Wilma so much." Mehek said again. Mehek's remarks managed to distract Cansu.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Yes, okay. I'm confessing. I miss your cousin." Mehek answered honestly.

Brams! Cousin Cansu who lived in the house of Cansu for two years ago has managed to steal the attention of Mehek. Unfortunately, the tall man showed no interest in Cansu's best friend. That's why Mehek with all his abilities tried to attract the attention of the man by way of a vidio call or just send him dozens of messages every day because they live far apart.

"If you miss him so much, why don't you just go back to Bandung? I'm sure a lot of beautiful women are after your man. After all, you wouldn't have had to follow me this far if you couldn't see Bram was a punishment." Cansu reminded.

There was clearly confusion on Mehek's face, between staying by Cansu's side or coming back and meeting the man who steals every night.

Of love?

Love is like the breath of life. It would feel empty of soul and body if the person who has managed to steal every night away from you. That's how Cansu felt for two years, he missed the figure of the man who had become his fiancee every time in the breath of his life. He did not want Mehek to feel the same way, because that is despite the weight he had to take off his best friend to return to Bandung and get his heart patch.
