The Story of Love

CHAPTER 55 (JUST HERE)

Arafah sat alone in a corner of the cafe that is not as crowded as usual. As if supporting her by giving her space to talk

Waiting for the presence of someone who, she misses so much. Can he still have that word for Alvin?

In the accompanying silence, Arafah leaned back. Close your eyes and close your chest. Hoping to display a strong impression when the man came

“Arafah”

He opened his eyes, looking at Alvin's long approaching steps. Arafah straightened his back, smiling as usual

Alvin stared in the green eyes of Arafah who looked beautiful, just like him. It looks not calm

Sitting in front of Arafah “Do not go again”

that sentence just slid right away

“All there is clarity Fa. Not as gray as you think”

Arafah's eyebrows go up next to “Jelasin now” he said defiantly

Papa is right, Arafah is too easily destroyed. Especially in front of Alvin which always implies shade that has made it comfortable and does not want to turn away

With clarity, Alvin began to tell his past story. Making Arafah as a umpteenth person who knows everything

I wish everything would be okay. They'll come back like they used to, that's what's always in Alvin's heart

“And that time, Mama drop. He's sick Fa. The age of the new Juna how many months even have to be entrusted so it does not enable Mama. Mama's brothers are just as busy, they can't go to London often. I'm the only one Mama had back then”

Alvin is still an ordinary man. Every time he learned the story, his heart always weakened. Even though she did not love Alula, her guilt still remained lodged

He was fragile, trying to hide his face with the palm of his hand. Sobbing quietly there. It still feels the same, too painful

But his trembling shoulders could not be hidden. Making Arafah powerless not to cry, they were both wounded

Soon, he smothered his own mouth. Withstand the stuffing that could have escaped. Next to his hand came forward to tightly grip Alvin's shoulder

Trying to channel the rest of the strength that he has “Sorry I Kak” he said sincerely, giving pause for him to strengthen the heart

“But this is the path God has shown us. Saying that we are enough until now, we should end here”

Alvin immediately looked at Arafah afraid “Don't talk rich like Fa. Everything can be fixed, we can get rich again. Sorry I Fa” Alvin begged, raucous voice. Choked

He was so afraid to feel lost again. It seems that this girl is no joke, Alvin is even willing to follow Arafah for the sake of always being together

Making Arafah's tears fall just like that, holding his chest tightness at this time “Nothing's wrong here Brother. It is time” Arafah tried to be strong

Fighting against the inner world turns out to be this difficult. Saying word for word that took Alvin, and his own heart

Unbelieving, Alvin shook his head firmly “I know I'm wrong Fa, punish me. But don't get rich gini, I can't” his voice was completely blocked, holding back the waves of pain that had hit him

The same Arafah was wounded, trying to stare at Alvin. Giving a reassuring look

“Can't Sis. Not yet, everything must work if Kak Alvin wants to try”

“Sister Alvin” Arafah calling soft

Alvin did not look at it one bit, not wanting to show any real weakness. He was still trying to think positively, that everything would be fine.

Although it's not so

Gently, Arafah directed Alvin's shoulder to face towards him. Everything felt even more chaotic when he who could not afford to see this man looked weak

While trying to muffle his tears, Arafah touched both shoulders of Alvin who was not powered “Lash back the story of Brother and Alula, all I have expressed, it is not the fault of Brother. But it's Alula's destiny. It's time to let go of each other

With watery eyes and a chest that felt very painful, Alvin finally looked at Alula who looked tough “And at this time. It's time for Brother Alvin to release me”

Messed up. Alvin shook his head, looking very helpless “Don't Fa. I can't” beg him for the umpteenth time

“During this time I was too selfish Kak” Arafah said slowly “I tried to bodo with the intention of Kak Alvin who wanted to become a convert. I was selfish with never how Big Brother felt. At that time I want to know, Brother Alvin must keep his promise”

“And I know, everything is not easy for Brother. It's not easy to change trust after all that Kak Alvin lived” he stared in the watery net Alvin, it looks very sad “I know everything and I try to be selfish, do not care about all that”

“Ara..

Arafah stopped Alvin's speech with a hand signal. Ask for a little more time to talk. Even if it hurts too much, it all has to end

He took a deep breath. Back draining tears that immediately wiped with rough “I love the same Brother Alvin. But I can't be selfish any longer, I can't let Alvin's brother get depressed with the choice I believe Brother took just for fear of taking off”

Arafah's words made Alvin shut up. His last sentence felt so precise, Alvin was too afraid to go back to losing. He doesn't want any more

Gadiis with pastel hijab, trying to show a strong smile “Indeed will not be easy. But if you can mengikhlaskan what happened, at least Kak Alvin has a chance to set the heart back”

Alvin shakes in disbelief. Does it really have to end this way? The story that from the beginning he never lived playfully must end here?

“I love you Fa. I can't” Alvin's strength, still trying to defend

Alula's heart was completely broken. Can no longer accept the shady and confident gaze that Alvin still faithfully gave him

Just one sentence made Arafah feel like he wanted to go back to being selfish, but that was tantamount to hurting Alvin

for the umpteenth time

The difference is too painful, too painful if you want to live. Arafah wept again, responding to his disappointment at the fate God had given him

“I will never be able to escape you”

Alvin looked confidently at the faint green netra of Arafah. Trying to get rid of all the pain he felt

While arranging his heart that almost wants to be carried away by the ego. He slowly wiped the trail of tears on his cheeks

Although not completely sincere, Arafah tried to pull out a sentence that was stuck in the throat

“Good life, Brother Alvin can definitely sincerely me like Brother mengikhlaskan Alula”

“I'm gone. Not Brother Alvin who took off, I released Kakan”
