The Sacrifice of Nayra
Waiting for you
I'll be waiting for you..
Like rain
waiting to fall
on dry land...

Aditya takes the ring box inside his closet. Then he opened the box. Aditya stared at the ring he once held on Alina's ring finger when they got engaged.
'I don't know if this ring I can put on your ring finger again, Alina'
Aditya keeps the ring box back in his closet. Then he picked up his guitar and songbook and went out to the porch. Aditya sat on the porch holding his guitar.
Aditya opened his songbook. There was a picture of Alina tucked inside the book. Not a picture of Nayra anymore, because Aditya has burned all his memories with Nayra. Now there was only one name in his heart, namely ALINA.
Jrng. jreng...
Aditya starts strumming his guitar and singing a song called 'Waiting You' while staring at a photo of Alina.
🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶
'I always try to strengthen my heart
From those of you who have not yet returned
There is one belief that keeps me going
This wait will pay off for sure
Look at me, baby, who's been struggling
Waiting for you to come, to pick you up
Remember always, baby, my heart you hold
I'm not leaving, waiting for you here
Stay right here....
If it wasn't for you I don't know anymore
To whom I miss this, I will give
Who misses this, I'll give you, oh
Look at me, baby, who's been struggling
Waiting for you to come, to pick you up
Remember always, baby, my heart you hold
I'm not leaving, waiting for you here
On here....
Look at me, baby, already struggling
Waiting for you to come, to pick you up
Remember always, baby, my heart you hold
I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving, waiting for you here....
🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶🎼🎶
'It's been two years Alina.. I'm still here to wait for you. I don't know when to wait..'
'I don't know if your love is just for me? Or have you found a replacement for me?' aditya murmured in the heart.

Somewhere else..
"Alina, Mas Adit has successfully built his dream home. Do you want to see?" ask Nayra.
"Emh.. Brother Rama, can I borrow the magazine?"
Rama gave the magazine to Alina. Then Alina read the magazine carefully.
'Alhamdulillah, you have built your dream home. Very beautiful house..'
'I used to dream, someday we will live in this house with our children. But in an instant you have destroyed all my dreams Mas' muttered Alina in heart.
"Alina, do you still have feelings for Aditya?" rama asked suddenly.
Alina flinched at her brother's question. Alina did not know what to answer. Actually during these two years, there was not a single day that he passed without thinking about Aditya. But Alina did not want to be disappointed for the second time. He's feeling traumatized.
Alina slowly shook her head.
"Good then. People like Aditya are not worthy of you. You have to get a man who really sincerely loves you" added Rama.
"Yes Brother"
"What if Mas Adit is still waiting for you Alina? Don't you want to give him a second chance?"
"Dear, stop! Don't force Alina again!" exclaim Rama.
"But Mas, I'm sure that they both still love each other"
"Alina, let's have lunch! You must be hungry, right? Earlier your brother-in-law cooked your favorite meal" Rama tried to divert the conversation.
"Emh yes Brother" Alina followed Rama to the dining table.
Nayra was very upset with Rama's attitude. But Nayra could do nothing. He can only pray that Alina will be able to return with Aditya again.

The next day in Bogor..
"Good morning Ma, Pa" Alina said as she walked to the dinner table.
"Good morning" said Bu Maya and Mr. Samsul.
"Come on Alina, we have breakfast together! It has been a long time since we had breakfast together" said Mr. Samsul.
"Yes Pa"
Alina took her seat and started to eat. They also had breakfast while talking.
"Alina, do you have an event today?" ask Maya Ma.
"There is no Ma. Why why?"
"Good then. This afternoon, my friend came here. He wants to see you"
"Which "mama's friend? Then why would he want to see Alin, Ma?"
"You will know too, dear. You'll be beautiful!"
Alina is confused. But he didn't want to ask any further. He could only obey his mother's wishes.
THAT AFTERNOON
Finally what was waiting came. Ayu's mother, schoolmate Bu Maya comes along with her son. Mr. Samsul, Ms. Maya and Alina also welcomed their arrival.
'Why did Mama's friend invite her son? Wouldn't Mama want to fool me with her?' murmured Alina in the heart.
"Jeng Ayu, son Ivan, welcome. Oh yes meet my daughter Alina" said Ms. Maya.
"Waaah.. Alina's son is beautiful" praised Bu Ayu.
"Thank you Aunt" said Alina.
"Oh yes Nak Alina, meet this Auntie's son, his name is Ivan"
"Hallo Alina" said Ivan, shaking off his smile.
"Hallo" said Alina.
Then they sat in the living room talking. Bu Maya and Bu Ayu tell each other about their children. Mr. Samsul occasionally chimed. Alina and Ivan are just listeners.
Alina felt very uncomfortable, because since then Ivan always paid attention to her. Alina lowered her face.
As soon as Bu Ayu and Ivan came home, Alina immediately asked her parents.
"Ma, Pa, what exactly are you two planning? Do you want to fool Alin with that guy?"
"You're smart, Alina. How do you like Ivan?" ask Maya Ma.
"Why didn't Mom and Dad say it was Alin? If from the beginning Alin knew, Alin would not agree to meet them" said Alina with a little anger.
"Mama and Papa just want the best for you Alina. Son Ivan is a good, handsome, highly educated boy. He's an S2 graduate in America just like you. And even more amazing, he is the owner of the largest fashion company in this city dear" added Bu Maya.
"But Alin doesn't care Ma, Pa. Anyway Alin does not want to be fooled, period"
Alina ran up the stairs to her room. Arriving at the room, he dropped his body on the bed and cried as much as possible.
