The Journey of Love Habibah..

Crying again

A year has passed since Purnomo married Ririn, nothing special happened in Habibah's life other than the days spent with the drama of the debate of the field Assistant Muhammad Zelly Nur Rahman who always look for reasons to win and show each other the hard of his head no one wants to give up, although actually since long Zelly has not been fierce to other employees, has started to joke a lot with his subordinates. Only on Habibah he still persisted with that attitude. Although he was always attentive. It's just that he's too proud to admit that he's fallen for a girl who's far below his age. But that's the truth, he really can't deny it anymore.

That afternoon on Saturday, the girl came home to pack her gear during her stay at the Camp the company had provided. He felt tired if he had to go home every day. Finally he decided to stay in the camp not far from his division office. It was only about one hundred and fifty meters away from the division office. While packing, an uninvited guest suddenly came knocking on his door.

Dukes..Dukes..Dukes...

" seed.. Habibah...!" He called his name out loud and full of emotion. The girl immediately opened the door of her house that was pounded by people impatiently.

Plaque...!

A slap landed hard on his left cheek as soon as the door of his house opened. How surprised he was to suddenly get a slap. His hand was pulled forcibly until he almost fell because there was no readiness from his body to withstand the pull of the person. Not to mention the loss of his shock at being slapped and pulled, he was even more shocked to find out who had done that to him.

" Ri's.. Kirin..!" Habibah stammered in disbelief if the one standing before him was his friend Ririn who he had considered a brother. He had no idea what had really happened back then, but one thing that was certain was that Ririn was in a very angry state.

" You still remember me too huh..!? Why do you remember me now, why don't you remember me when you tried to seduce my husband? Were you amnesia then?" The accusation leveled by Ririn was like thunder that struck his heart. He almost fainted to hear Ririn's words, he was sitting limp hearing the accusations without any evidence.

" How can you say that Rin? You are a friend I consider to be my brother. Where may I want to take your husband" Habibah replied trying to calm Ririn who was already overwhelmed with anger.

" You don't have to pretend anymore in front of me. You are my most hypocritical friend I have. There are still many men that you can choose, why did you choose my husband for you to target ? There are still a lot of bachelors why do you want to be married? And just so you know, I've got kids now and you can't do this to me.." Ririn continued to utter painful accusations in Habibah's heart. Purnomo soon came to take Ririn's hand to stay away from the Habibah family residence.

" Now you're talking, while he's here, and a lot of people are gonna witness it. You're talking right now mas, how long have you been in contact with him..!" his index finger pointed precisely at the face of Habibah who was resting on the ground.

" Come on deck, don't be embarrassed like this. Embarrassed to see many people deck." Purnomo persuaded Ririn, but it seems Ririn was still not satisfied with the anger.

" Wait on..!" finally Habibah also opened his voice while getting up from his seat.

"I don't know what the hell you guys are having. But what I don't think about is that I was accused of seducing people and trying to damage your household. Where did this issue come from? There is no way this issue came suddenly." he continued with a trembling voice holding back his cries.

" aihh.. Don't be pretentious don't know anything you, everywhere you want to ngaku." concluded Ririn quickly.

" Rin, let me talk first. After I talk you will talk later. Now let me speak calmly with your husband." asked Habibah with eyes that could not be separated from the face of Purnomo who looked so panicked with the condition at that time.

" Well, can you explain to me what the problem is? What the hell happened to you guys? Love me the answer mas, at this time all I need is an answer not the silence mas Pur.." Desperate Habibah on Purnomo.

" I'm sorry, Nur, I told you it was all the past. Even in the past we were just friends, never more than that, but he never believed that. Because it was also my fault, she found your old diary Nur. I've explained but he doesn't believe us and accuses us of cheating on him. Because I was upset about being accused so much, I finally told her that I've been cheating on you all this time. And be like this.. I'm sorry Nur.." Purnomo finally explained by bowing his face did not dare to look at the face of the girl who was now looking at him very sharply. Even as long as he knew the girl never once saw a gaze as sharp as this moment. His gaze seemed to directly pierce through his heart.

" Rin, you are my friend and forever you are my friend. If I wanted to do Pur, then I would never let go of my feelings just for you. I let go of the people I love that I love to live with you. If I wanted to, no need to wait after being your husband, if I wanted maybe now you are not who he is. But for your sake I let go of all my feelings, for your sake I could hurt her heart. And just for you I'm willing to lose our friendship. Is that not enough for you? I'm already quite happy to hear you can be with mas Pur, I just want you guys to be happy without any more shadows of me. After all, I am engaged, I cannot disturb other people's households. My feeling is the past so forget it and be happy." said Habibah at length.

" Nur.." Purnomo's voice was blocked by the esophagus when he heard the words of the girl who had been inhabiting his heart. He could no longer hold back his embarrassment and immediately brought Ririn home to his parents. He could no longer speak even if he was just an apology even though he was unable to. I'm sorry Nur, because one sentence I said out of annoyance has hurt you so badly. Maybe I don't deserve your forgiveness, maybe I don't even deserve to say it. Purnomo deeply regretted the incident that afternoon. While Habibah immediately locked himself in his room, he had even applied for a sick permit to his superiors so that the next day he did not need to work.

Her crying could not ease the pain in her heart. Her tears could not answer all the questions she wanted to hear. " Mas Pur, if I had known that falling in love was so painful like this, it would have been nice if I had never felt it. If I may ask God that this love disappear from my heart forever so that you can live happily then I am willing to."
