The Journey of Love Hara

A Cracked Relationship

After telling her problems to her two best friends, Hara felt a little relieved, although she still did not know whether the match between her lover and her brother could be broken up, or even the matchmaking continued, instead, Hara was betrothed to Mario.

Since that night, Hara has never contacted Mario, who is now either still a lover or has changed into his future sister-in-law.

Not Mario did not contact Hara, but Hara who tried to run away from reality, if he could run away from reality, and since that incident, too, Hara often shut herself in her room or even went home late at night.

This afternoon, Hara was sitting pensively in a cafe, opening her laptop while waiting for her favorite coffee order and some sweet snacks. Unlike usual where he was always accompanied, either by his best friend or by Mario, but for this time he was completely alone.

The cafe was not as usual. Today, the cafe looks a little quiet. The reason Hara always comes to the same cafe is because Hara finds a very cozy atmosphere in the cafe, and again, the cafe always plays songs that suit Hara's taste, and again, both from old songs, to the latest songs, both Indonesian songs, and Kpop songs.

...Dddrrreeett!!!.......

...(sound hp Hara)...

Hara turned her gaze towards the phone that was right in front of her. Seen on the screen there is an incoming message from Mario

...-Kakaotlk: 129 Unread messages…...

...-Mario : ..- ...

Unceasingly Mario tried to contact the woman he considered to be his lover, but Hara just looked at the screen with a blank look. Between retaliating and not, he was confused by the circumstances that had not been found a way out.

Sounding from the sound of the cafe sound that plays a collection of Hara's favorite songs. A barista who was preparing Hara's order was secretly watching Hara. Seen Hara's smile, even though only a thin smile, at least with the song played can make Hara's mood a little better.

“Coffee, mbak,” said a barista who delivered Hara's order directly.

“Makasih, mas,” he said as he continued to look towards his laptop.

“Cock tumben alone?”

“Oh, yes, my friend again on busy. Eh..” said Hara as she turned to look at the barita and tried to smile, apparently the barista was a mysterious man she met on the roof of her campus building.

“Halo. Meet again,” said the barista with his sweet smile.

“Ah, hello," suddenly Hara remembered the item that had been loaned to her a few days ago, which was still stored in her bag. "Oh yes, I want to turn over my glasses and handkerchief, mas. Thank you,” said Hara while giving both items loaned to her.

“Oh, yes. Equally, mbak. I live first, mbak. Hopefully the song we play can make his mood improve,” he said kindly and left Hara with her activities again. Sure enough, after leaving Hara, the songs that were recorded were songs belonging to Hara's favorite Kpop idol, BTS. Hearing the song from the idol, Hara felt very entertained, so she did not hesitate to develop her smile that some days buried. His fingers again busy with the tasks he had to give up next week, while occasionally enjoying coffee and snacks.

When Hara was busy completing her task while enjoying the songs in the cafe, came a man who was not foreign to Hara or to the barista mas. A cold chill entered the room. With a firm and confident step, the man approached the unconscious Hara with the presence of the man.

“Ra, we have to talk,” said Mario who immediately sat in front of Hara while closing Hara's laptop so he wanted to look at Mario. Feeling annoyed, for the first time Hara gave an angry look to Mario.

“What else to talk about? After all want to be discussed like anything, there will be no way out for us, Mario,” said Hara in a slightly whispering tone for fear of disturbing the comfort of other visitors, the barista looked at Hara and Mario.

“Ra, please. I will try my hardest to undo my and Nia's match. So please, just this once you believe me, huh?” mario said expectantly.

“Mario, with the nature of my papa like that, there is no way it feels like the match can be canceled. I don't want to expect too much from what Nia and you promised, Mario.” Hearing Hara's statement, Mario could only fall silent. This moment, for the first time after that night Mario and Hara spoke from heart to heart.

Hara immediately grabbed her laptop and was about to leave the cafe, but Mario's heavy hand gripped tightly on Hara's wrist, so Hara felt pain on her wrist.

“Mario, what are you doing? Release, Mario!” said Hara who was trying to release her hand from Mario's grasp.

“Ra, we have to talk again. I don't want us to split like gini,” said Mario did not want to lose.

“Mario, don't do this. Not good to see, Mario.” Roughly, Mario pulls Hara out of the cafe into the cafe's front yard. Unknowingly, someone removed Mario's hand from Hara's wrist.

“Sory, bro. is not how to talk to girls,” said the barista who pulled Hara behind him meant to protect Hara. A cynical smile expands on Mario's lips.

“Sory, but this is my case with my girlfriend,” Mario told the barista.

“But you know, right, if your girlfriend does not want?” the barista said he would not lose.

“Tau what lo about my same problem my girlfriend?”

“Stop!!” hara's instantaneous shout stopped the fierce debate between Mario and the barista.

“Thank you for helping me, and I'm fine. But sorry, this is a problem between me and my girlfriend. So I beg you, let us solve our problem,” Hara told the barista, who then took a step back, gave Mario and Hara space, and still waited for Hara, afraid something bad happened to Hara.

“Mario, I've been saying since we were inside, that I've been through your matchmaking. I can't possibly be willing papa. And again, you will be my sister-in-law. So I beg you,”

“Ngak, Ra. Cannot. All that is not certain, and we can still try to find a way out.”

“So sure you will be able to solve this problem?” asked Hara in a tone full of doubt.

“I'm sure, we can definitely get through this, Ra. I beg you, give me 1 chance, yes?”

“1 weeks. If in 1 week you still can not solve this problem, you will still be my sister-in-law.”

“What's so much about giving up you on our relationship, Ra?”

“I'm not giving up, Mario. I'm not giving up. But because until now I still can not give you to be betrothed to my own brother, all circumstances that were once normal, to turn 180°, he said,” shouted Hara who had been unable to hold back her emotions since earlier. Tears slowly began to pour down his cheeks, making Mario and the barista could not bear to see the woman crying.

“And again, I don't know if I deserve to fight for our relationship, Mario. I feel inappropriate, and I.” that sentence was not able to be completed by Hara.

The denseness that was piling up in his chest made him speechless.

Many changes have occurred since the incident that night, especially between Hara and Mario.

...‘I don't know. Should I fight for my feelings, or let go of the most noble person in my life, to live with my own brother?’...
