The Past...Ye
Episode 25's
It felt heavy but Runa kept trying to open her eyes. His consciousness returned but his head was still dizzy. What he saw the first time he opened his eyes was that he was sure he was not in his room at the moment. He stared at his new left arm feels sore now because it was attached to an infusion hose. Obviously he must be in the hospital at the moment. Finally he remembered last night, where Darta and Abay were
fighting and accidentally hitting him.
Then his eyes were trailing to every corner of this room. And found someone was curled up on a sofa that was not too far from his bed. Obviously this person is not Melda, nor is Darta. From behind his back, Runa knew it must be Abay. Why is this – male always present in his life?
The figure squirmed for a while, turning his body in a recumbent position. Like looking for a comfortable position to lie on that small sofa while the posture is quite large. Unknowingly Runa smiled. But the incident last night made his smile disappear at that moment.
Abay shouldn't have come back in his current life and made it all like this. If he had not met Abay, he would have married Darta and lived his life normally.
Runa closed her eyes again pretending – pura was not aware when she knew Abay was awake and approaching her bed. He arrived – arrived feel deg – degan. His hand was held gently by Abay. Runa is getting bigger with – degan.
“Runa...” That special, edifying voice called out his name.
“You're right – true stupid”
Whahuh? What does Abay call it? I want Runa to wake up and slap her face. But he didn't, he wanted to hear what Abay would say next.
“Do you love Darta so much?”
Runa could hear clearly, Abay's tone turning muffled.
“Love this is you to Darta, so you can't see the truth”
The truth? What truth does Abay mean? What truth does Abay know about Darta? Long, long enough Runa waited for Abay to say something again. But it looks like Abay didn't say what – is anymore. Finally Runa decided to ‘sadar’ from her stupor.
“Where's Melda?” asked Runa ketus without paying attention to his interlocutor who had put up a happy face but instead ignored.
“Melda just came out, he said he wanted to find breakfast. You want something, want a drink?”. Abay quickly took a glass of water beside Runa's bed and wanted to give it to Runa.
“Neg. I don't need anything – what!”. Abay speechless. And put the glass back in its place.
“You want something else? Eaten? Or----“
“No longer care about me”
What had been Abay's face looking excited now was like a hard slap. How could he not care
with Runa? With the woman he still loves. But now the woman no longer needs his attention.
“I don't need your attention, I don't need your sympathy. I also don't need your help,”. Somehow the tone of Runa sounded heavier, he held tightness in his chest. I don't want to cry in front of Abay right now. Crying his own powerlessness.
“I can face my own problems. Now you can exit”
Abay turned her body to want to go away because it was Pinta Runa. He turned for a moment towards Runa
he threw his face in the other direction. “I know you don't like me interfering too deeply into your affairs and Darta, because I'm not who – who you are. I have no right to that. But one thing you must remember, do not let you regret in the future.” Abay passed. And now it's true – is gone.
