Jakarta.
The sound of typical Javanese music plays beautifully along with his feet coming down from the taxi along with Saga. Alea had indeed deliberately come on the day that the agreement was executed. Because if he came before, there is a possibility that Arsen will try to meet him.
With Saga standing beside him. Alea smiled with teary eyes looking at the reflection of Gita wearing a white dress in the woman's room. Gita's cry broke as Alea hugged the woman from behind.
"Pretty. Don't cry, later her makeup faded" facing Gita's body to face her, Alea wiped her best friend's tears.
"Gue married Kenzo Al. Tajirs. So it's waterproof"
Alea laughed, hugged Gita's body for a few seconds before Keke appeared and screamed frantically until Alea and Gita's ears hurt.
"Yakk is neat. Destroyed his makeup later" Keke pulled Alea forcibly out of Gita's arms, before being held tightly to Alea's body in equal mourning.
Alea smiled towards Diwa who came along with Keke. The man behind a smile and greeted Saga who was standing not far from them.
Alea's life indeed seems to continue to revolve around the mass of Arsen. Gita, who is married to Mas Kenzo and Keke, is dating Diwa, who will probably move on to the marriage. Alea's life seemed destined to be in the same orbit as the Yudhistira family.
"How's Al doing?" keke asked as he wiped his own tears.
"good. It's pretty like this, can't cry ah" Alea pokes Keke's chin and Gita alternately which makes a smile rise on the face of both "Lo on healthy too right? May you be the same Kenzo mas lasting ya Git. And Wa, don't be hung by my best friend huh. Getting serious"
The thumbs up given by Diwa instantly made the room that had previously felt sad now cheerful again with echoing laughter.
"Son, let's get down. The commitment was about to begin" the voice of the mamah Sinta—ibu from Gita who stood on the doorstep got a nod from the bride.
With Alea and Keke standing by Gita's side. They came out of the room and walked towards the living room where the meeting was about to begin. Just like Gita who may be nervous because soon will bear the status as a wife. Alea was just as nervous as it was likely that this would be the first meeting of her and Arsen's mas. Info from Diwa if Arsen has also come and sit not far behind Kenzo.
And sure enough, it felt like Alea's heartbeat was beating so fast as her eyes unintentionally met with Arsen's eyes which were also looking at her in surprise. Alea was as good as possible at holding back her expression to look normal as ever. After escorting Gita to sit beside Mas Kenzo, Alea chose to sit quite far away from Arsen, although Alea knew the man's gaze would never be interrupted.
"Lo must remember, now there's just me Al. There was no more of her" Saga who was sitting next to him, took Alea's hand and grasped it tightly.
Not sure what possessed her now, Alea let it be because in fact Saga's grip on her hand felt a little soothing to her heartbeat. Alea's attention to the previous Arsenes now turned instead to Saga who sat beside him while occasionally smiling soothingly.
"Make me fall in love with you Ga. Make me fall in love with you until I can lupain mas Arsen. When it arrives, you will be in the Kenzo mas position and I will be in the Gita position sitting next to you"
There was a momentarily shocked expression shown by Saga. Before finally a wide smile expands along with the grip of the man's hand that is getting tighter.
Mas. I want to fall in love with another person. So I guess our story ended 5 years ago.
...°°°...
"Can you talk to Al for a second?"
Alea who was enjoying chocolate ice cream turned to the source of the sound. Saga was briefly allowed to return home to visit her family and promised to return to pick up Alea.
Mas Arsen stood with a hopeful look towards Keke. It was as if with that gaze asking Keke to leave the two of them for a moment.
Getting a nod of the head from Alea, Keke resigned. Arsen took a sitting position in the chair that was occupied by Keke.
"How's Al doing?" open Mas Arsen, there was a bitter tone Alea heard in the voice.
"good. How are you doing?" Alea is not another 19-year-old girl who is unstable to be reluctant to talk to ex, ex-lover, especially ex-husband. He was old enough now to make her mature as well.
"Not too good"
Alea's forehead wrinkled. There is clearly a point behind that answer.
"Mas Denger from Gita, last year you graduated from the deck?"
'Dek' looks like the call should not be used.
"Will not go back and work in Indo?"
Alea shook her head. This country has too many wounds for him. Alea was already happy enough there with Saga that maybe after this will continue to be with him.
Because of this moment, Alea was conscious. The rapid heartbeat was only the effect of Alea who had not seen Arsen for a long time, because in fact now, when they rebuked the vibration disappeared. It felt like Alea was having a greeting with a stranger. There was no feeling and no enthusiasm to continue the conversation. Alea remembered that the end of their story was not closed well. He just disappeared without any news at all. Therefore, Alea wanted her story which according to sad ending people should be closed in a good way as well.
"Well, you live there, Al?"
"Ketah. A new environment with new people"
"You doing well?"
Alea could see how the two men's hands seemed to be clinging to each other lessened the nervousness.
"Current mas."
"Sorry deck. I want to sincerely apologize to you"
Alea smiled sincerely "If you apologize for what happened in our household first, I'm sorry for you. I also had time to say congratulations to mbak Dira in her ig account during childbirth. But if you apologize for what happened years ago to my grandfather and my parents. Everything is going as usual. Because I can't accept that apology even though I know you weren't involved and this is also at my father's request. But I still can't mas"
Arsen looked to nod his head. Their relationship was over 5 years ago, he should not still hope their relationship improves "It takes time, Al. I'll wait until you can say sorry"
"Will come that time. But there will never come a time when we will return. I was horrified of Diwa, so spared me. Wake up a new life with another woman. Because of me, it will also build it up slowly with another figure" Alea said as she looked towards Saga who had just gotten down from the car and walked briskly towards him like a beard fire.
"Sama Saga?" ask Arsen slowly.
Alea nodded her head.
"He's a nice guy Al, a guy who can feel like he's a good guy. So be happy with him Al. Maybe this is the end of our story"
Alea nodded back. Before Saga approached and made a mess of looking like he wanted to punch Arsen, Alea immediately stood up and stretched out her hand that was immediately held by Arsen.
"Alea also hopes that she will be happy one day"
After saying that, their handshake was released. Alea looked relieved because everything was well done, inversely proportional to Arsen who looked bitter. Maybe this is the punishment he deserves for life.
Alea immediately walked towards Saga and held her hand on the man's arm. "Not to get angry" he whispered as he led Saga to the place where their friends were "They're very young men who would be excited if they knew we were dating Ga"
Saga's steps stopped immediately "Al?"
"Yes. You are not expired, right? Let's go on a date. But don't be long, 2 months may be enough. Because I want to marry young"
"You? Me? not me anymore, lo?" Saga gave her shy smile "You sure aren't Al? Because after this moment I won't let you go again"
Alea nodded her head "I'm old enough to realize what feelings I have for you. I just realized it too late"
Saga smiled widely then pulled Alea in her arms. Arsen who saw that from a distance also looked smiling. I don't know what kind of smile Arsen is showing right now.
