Pov Priest.
"What you're doing is wrong, Pri. I know you are hurt and do not accept his decision. But, aren't you thinking about how he is at the moment? he's more tormented than you. The pressure and rejection she received from your family was not the only painful thing she received. You never even thought about how his family was? how sick is he? yet you are still adding to his inner wound getting worse."
Pri was downcast, his face of course pias with guilt arising in his heart.
"I love him, you know that."
"But your love makes him tormented. He loves you too, as long as you know it. But he always tried to hide it. He doesn't want to get you in trouble and let his own heart break."
"If he loves me why would he leave me? I'm still trying and always looking for a way out. But he's gone."
"You're crazy!!" The priest smiled in a slant. "You think Arsita didn't feel any pain when he made that decision? you think you're the only one who feels that disappointment? so naive of you Pri."
"You said you loved her? what kind of love did you promise her?. Have you ever asked him, how sick is he? how she felt while you were hanging without any certainty you gave her. And you still say that he betrayed you?. You fool!!. All you know is your heart and your pain."
The priest struck the wind to vent his frustration. There is no way he will invite Pri to a duel just to release his emotions. The priest was still thinking sanely not to get too deeply involved. He's just trying to be a mediator.
"Dammit!! you're a man, while he?. The pressure for her is greater than you feel. She is a woman who has a marriage deadline and the insistence of her family. Even if there isn't, you think he has no thoughts of living happily like his other friends?. Arsita, a normal girl who needs attention, needs protection. While you? what have you been doing all this time? move away and hang them without clarity. If you were him, would you survive?"
The priest kicked the chair beside Pri. They both promised to meet. Imam did not lie to Arsita by saying that he got the Pri number from Rudi. Pri only came back yesterday and that's what Arsita doesn't know yet, because the two haven't called each other back after the talks.

The priest breathes his lust rough. He was really confused by the frustration he was experiencing now. For her, Arsita is a kind girl who does not deserve to receive painful treatment many times from the same person. But he was also no longer able to forget his disappointment to Pri.
He deliberately gave up that time and chose to leave because he wanted the two to open up and get back together. Facing all obstacles and grasping each other in fact even separated.
The Imam did not even blame Arsita for his decision to surrender. He himself could not survive without certainty for many years. Arsita also deserves to be happy.
However, seeing how chaotic Pri was that day made Iman even smell. Both are the people closest to him. Both Pri and Arsita have their own place in the corner of his heart.
"I've done everything I could. But your destiny won only up here. Maybe this farewell is also the best path for both of you. In the future there is no longer prejudice and revenge. I hope it's all over and you're happy with your partner."
