The Past...Ye

33

This morning Runa woke up from her sleep feeling happy. Somehow the shadow Abay suddenly appeared in his brain. Abay has filled his life before. And that feeling still exists to this day. Moreover, some time ago Abay had saved him from the empty factory fire. Runa had not even had the time to say thank you.

Today he decided to take Abay to lunch outside. He had a cell phone lying next to his bed. Search for Abay's name and press the call button. For a while he waited with deg - degan. Once every two calls but Abay doesn't answer his calls. Maybe Abay is still sleeping, Runa thought. He decided to send Abay a short message. Smiling to himself he wrote a short message for Abay. Runa then got up from her bed and rushed to take a bath.

---

Abay woke up because his phone was ringing. He had not yet reached for his phone because he realized he was in Mayra's room. Soon she looked to her side but Mayra was not here. But he realized that he was not wearing his clothes. He immediately opened the blanket that covered his body. He was wearing only shorts. Oh my God what happened? Instantly his head became dizzy. He was in Mayra's room all night in this state?

His phone rings again. With her cell phone down, the screen flashing there displayed the name Runa. He could not answer Runa's call at this time. His mind was in a mess thinking about all the possibilities that happened last night between him and Mayra. A short message came in from Runa. Runa invited her to lunch together as her gratitude for saving her the other day. Abay must be willing to do anything for Runa because she loves Runa very much.

Whatever happens between him and Mayra, Abay has to get it done. When Abay wanted to get up looking for Mayra, she came with a tray in her hand containing breakfast for Abay.

"Dear to darling.." softly sweep to Abay then put the tray on the bed right in front of Abay.

"Take care of your words Mayra...".

Mayra just smiled. "Better breakfast first, huh? I'm gonna take a hot bath for you..".

"May, what happened last night? What did you do last night? You're not like you, you drink alcohol. Since when?"

"That's not important, the most important thing now is that I know that you love me.."

"What?"

Mayra approached and sat down beside Abay who was still in his bed.

"You said yourself that you love me so much, and you proved it last night..".

"You don't make it up - there's Mayra! I was still conscious when I brought you inside. And after that nothing happened - what between us.."

"Maybe you're still surprised by all this. Not what - what. I-i understand. I was wrong to trouble you all this time. After all how can there be only two people of the opposite sex in one house. And there's only the two of them, anything can happen. Including what happened between us last night.."

What Mayra said has a point. But what happened between her and Mayra last night Abay still can't believe it. Now his life is ruined he really can not go back with Runa again. But Mayra's future will also be shattered if her family knows what's really going on.

Abay had promised his mother to look after and watch over Mayra while he was here. But now he destroys it. Abay will take responsibility for what he does. Even if he had to sacrifice his own heart.

Mayra looked down. "It's up to you if you still don't believe. Maybe I should go back to Jogja and I don't know what I'm going to say to Mom and Dad later.."

Abay breathed long, "Don't May!".

Mayra looks around and can't believe Abay's holding her back?

"You don't go back there yourself. I'll take you home myself, I'll take responsibility for what I've done. You calm down, huh?"

Mayra smiled and approached and hugged Abay happily. Abay who was hugged just fell silent. His love story with Runa had to end like this.

At her push slowly Mayra's body away. "I'll be gone for a while, there's something I need to finish". Without waiting for Mayra's response, Abay left immediately.

Mayra smiled happily. Finally he could have Abay completely because soon Abay will marry him. If the way is this easy to have Abay why not from the first he did this. Without having to waste time in vain by eliminating Runa. He kept smiling happily.
