The White Heart Jasmine

Chapter 43 - Numbness Makes Another

Until Melati's house again expressed her sadness. This time on his mother's chest. I still don't believe it. Elvan, he's gone nowhere. The one who truly loves him, to whom he ties his heart.

"Mother.I love her, Mom... I love Elvan." said Melati in the middle of her tears. The mother who also cried could only stroke her daughter's head. I don't know what to say. This must be very hard for Melati. Make the Edgar family.

"Keep praying, praying and surrender." That's all I'm saying.

Satisfied crying on mom's chest, jasmine walked into her room. He sat on the wall of the room on the bed. He opened his HP. He scrolls all the chat that's in his WA with Elvan. Her tears are flowing again. Crying until her eyes are swollen.

He opens the gallery and looks at his photos with Elvan. The funny, happy pose, and all the style that Elvan makes on camera make Melati more ruined.

"Get your heart to me, until ever." Elvan Request. Melati felt her body was already limp. His heart is so sad.

"Why do you say that, El? Do you feel like you're leaving? You ask me to take care of my heart just for you. That means you'll be back, right?" whispered Melati while staring at the photo of Elvan who smiled funny, handsome.

"Yes, I promise, my heart is for you. I-i promise. My heart is only for you. But you came home, yeah... I'll make sure my heart goes numb for the others, El. You go home, yeah." Melati's shoulder shook.

Melati took her bag, took off the keychain Elvan gave her. "El, wherever I go I take this hanger. It's your first gift, which makes me think you really like me. There's your name and my name there is wrapped in a circle of love. You are the key to my heart." Melati clutched the keychain while continuing to cry.

From outside the room, Lily and Damar peek at her brother. Their hearts hurt. Don't know how to entertain. Lily closed the door.

"Pity, Brother.." said Damar. Both of them were crying.

Ranita. "Where's Jasmine?" ranita asked Lily and Damar. Lily pointed at the room while wiping away her tears.

Ranita was WA to Melati and Melati already told me what happened. As fast as lightning Ranita went straight to Melati's house.

"Mails..." Ranita in the room.

"Keepin..." Melati still can't stop crying. Ranita hugged him. Not saying anything. Just hugging his best friend. She was crying too.

*****

A week later, Melati returned to Depok. Ranita finally returned with Melati. He couldn't bear to let Melati come back alone. He should not be left alone with this situation.

Jasmine busies herself by lingering in the library. He did not want to drown in loss. He must keep looking ahead. If Elvan returns later he shows his lover, he is tough to face all. He is loyal to his heart.

Alfaro looked at Melati who was busy with the books on the table. Melati is different. He rarely smiles. As much as possible he behaved naturally, but the look in his eyes still implied a wound.

"When are you gonna be like this, Mel? Maybe Elvan is dead. Will you continue to wait for him? I want to be the one to erase your pain. If only you had looked a little. I'm here, Mel," said Alfaro.

I don't know why life is playing with his heart. She breaks up from Delia, hoping to reach out to Melati's heart. It turned out that the girl had linked her heart to Elvan. With a heavy heart, Alfaro gives up hope to embrace Melati's love. She opens up to Ranita, she tries. Not really her heart was wrapped in a new love, Elvan left. Isn't this like a delayed opportunity?

But Melati really closed the door of the heart to the others. Only her lost lover was kept. Does Alfaro have to wait more patiently? And Ranita?

"Al, are you busy today?" ranita asked as they left for college together. Melati was on campus that day.

"Not really. Why?" ask Alfaro.

"I want to say something." Ranita folded her hands on her chest.

"Jam 1 I'm done this afternoon. If you can, we'll see you later?" Alfaro.

After college the two met in the cafeteria, where they usually ate together if on campus.

"Neither today?" greet Alfaro as soon as Ranita sits on the chair in front of her.

"Currently, anyway... How're you?" rasana Ranita.

"There are additional tasks. Lecturers like unsatisfied to see students rarely sleep," said Alfaro.

Ranita laughs a little.

"Al, I can't bear to see Melati. He's still very sad. I don't know when it's going to be like this" Ranita said.

"It's hard for him, Rani," Alfaro said.

"I think maybe his heart will be healed if he gets a new and sincere love" continued Ranita.

Alfaro looked at Ranita.

"Can you go back to him?" ranita Pinta.

"What did you say?" Alfaro felt wrong to hear.

"Dear ever liked you and I know you're the same. Maybe you're the right person to treat her heart" Ranita explained.

Alfaro could not believe hearing this. "You're not drunk, are you?"

"Hi. I've been thinking about this seriously" Ranita said. "Don't think about me, I'm not gonna do anything. He needs you more than me."

Why is there a girl like Ranita? Not that he was afraid of losing his cheating girlfriend with his best friend, this is even him asking his girlfriend to go love his best friend. Alfaro laughed a grin.

"I feel like I'm being asked to do polygamy, yeah..." Alfaro chuckled. Even though there was a part of her that was cheering. Well, even if he goes after Melati he's innocent. Her boyfriend asked her to do this.

"Al.." call Ranita.

Alfaro looked at Ranita. "Did you really not like me? Do you accept this relationship just for security? Or because I couldn't resist because I helped you that night?"

Ranita clasped Alfaro's hand. He returned the gaze of his lover. "Look at me, Al. Look my eyes. Is there nothing in these eyes dear to you? Honestly, I feel safe with you. I also really want to repay your kindness by staying by your side. Of course I don't want to lose you."

Alfaro's eyes did not escape Ranita. The girl clasped her hand. "But Melati, she also deserves to be happy. I lost my best friend because Elvan was no more. I hope with you, he will come back as he was. And I, I will still love you. Before you and Melati really get into a serious relationship, I won't turn away."

Don't know what to say. Alfaro touched Ranita's bangs gently. It turns out Ranita also has a heart as good as this. Did he hurt her heart? But one side that Ranita said was right. If Melati finds her new love, she may come back the way she used to be.

"I beg you, Al," said Ranita.

"alright. But if by the end of the semester there's no progress, I won't continue." Alfaro finally agreed.

"Thank you, dear.." said Ranita slowly. His smile was thin on his lips. But in Ranita's heart there is a sense of pain. He has already managed to love Alfaro. He knew letting go would hurt.
