Two Man

Two Man
Flowers without stems



Funeral's over. Aluna just stared at the flower-filled tomb. Aluna never imagined that the meeting was a sign of the story ending.


The beach with a million stories. Intertwining romance stories promised forever but, gone. Aluna was no longer smiling. He was crying at the funeral.


Suffering that cannot be expressed in words. His vain wait and his lost dream. The promise will be together, but it is only an illusion.


Aluna's cry made all those in the cemetery hold back sobs. The million-wound girl unhappily is now abandoned by the universe.


Aluna sat up on the bed of her room. He stared around with tears still falling without a sling. The smile that had always been present now disappeared.


Aluna only remembered that she had to open one letter that was in the mouth. Where the letter is wrapped neatly.


Aluna opened the letter and read it.


...Letter content;...


...About Rain and Taste....


...In the stillness of the night of pity I found him. Sweet girl with a million smiles makes me feel what life is. ...


...Hi... ...


...When you read this, believe me. I'm not beside you anymore. I am no longer able to meet you and you are looking for me. After my death you only need to keep and always fight for your next life will be how. ...


...I will still love you and I will keep you at a distance. Even though I wasn't there to be with you, I was in your heart. Deep down I always wish you happiness even without me. My presence may always be you need however, your presence becomes a strength for me. ...


...You are beautiful after mom. You are beautiful and you deserve to be happy, I love you Aluna. I will never leave unless I will leave when death picks me up. ...


...When I first met you, I felt something different. I feel that I am able and able to accompany you all day, I feel that I can always be with you. Even though I know.. Someday I will lose this damn disease that resides in this body. ...


...Kidney failure. ...


...It was a disease that had been torturing me all this time and after being engaged to you, I seemed to be free from fatigue, I was free from pain even though I knew.. Everything you hide hurts more than me. ...


...We're.. Married yeah..? I have bought you a very beautiful and beautiful wedding dress for you, wear it if you are ready to be the prettiest bride in my life. ...


...I have prepared the flowers that I have arranged beautifully in a place that you must find. You should be able to and should try so that you do not get lost on the wrong path. I will close this letter with one word.. ...


...Always happy, my little queen.  ...


...-Signature of Arlangga, your season...


......................


The tears began to fall with the letter being squeezed very tightly by his hand. A blank, empty look as if without life. My face and the tears that kept flowing made it even more broken.


"How can I be happy when you have returned to the bosom of God, all I can be..? Now I'm just like a flower without a stalk that falls and is ready to be flown by the wind.. Without you what am I..? I'm just a million-scarred girl covering her with a stupid smile like nothing's happened."


"I just want to hold you.. Hugging and kissing you like that night. Don't leave me this way.. Just take me wherever you want.. Didn't we dream of having a worrisome daughter..? Then why did you leave..? I'm not forcing you however, I'm not willing to go.."


Silent.


There was only a rustling sound coming from outside. The sound of leaves and the sound of rain pouring down. A blank look as if there was no spirit to live life. His body trembled violently and the noisy sounds on his head made that powerful stance collapse in disarray.


All the sounds of Arlangga like a boomerang that repeats every moment, every second and every time. His life was full of gray.


"Those evil feelings will lead you to your happiness, Aluna."


"Sister Arlangga?!"


"Pa..."


"I know, baby.. I know how hard it is to let go of your husband but if not.. Are you going to keep him imprisoned in your grief..? Let her go and let her find her happiness, Aluna.."


"Want.. What about me pa..? Who is my happiness now..? Father is dead, my three sisters are not found and do I have to find mother..? Mother who left me without caring that her daughter was dying..?"


"Luna.."


Silent. There was no word or answer from Aluna. He just daydreamed by lowering his gaze and staring blankly around.


Andara came out of the room. He began to approach the Rose and asked the Rose to enter Aluna's room.


Roses slowly began to move their legs and fell silent when they saw the state of Aluna which was very chaotic.


"Sir Luna.. Eat first," said the rose lirih but not heard by Aluna.


"Sister, I'm afraid I'm going to the new university, right?! Shall we go together, shall we??"


Aluna was silent. He didn't say a word. Just a heart-wrenching little laugh, smiling with flowing tears. Seeing that, the Roses glued to him. He could not bear to see the situation of Aluna was very severe.


"Sister, Brother Aluna.. Don't be gini, brother.."


"Sister.. Come answer me! Brother Luna did what?! Why are my hands so much blood?!"


"Just turn off come on, Aluna.. Everyone wants you dead."


"Aluna.. Let's quickly kill the person in front of you!"


"Quickly cut off your veins!"


"A long time! Let's kill yourself!"


"SISTER LUNA, CONSCIOUS BROTHER..!!!" screams of the Rose with the cutter clasped Aluna.


Aluna sculpting. He completely lost control. Can't control noisy thoughts and can't refuse to do something dangerous.


Other side..


"Aliya, when are you coming back..? Have pity on your broken daughter in her life.. Don't you think that your daughter suffered after the deaths of your children and husband..?"


"Shut up, Andara! You don't know anything so you don't have to interfere."


"My son's gone! And now Aluna stays in the hospital for treatment and the rest of her life without parents! Without affection and even, he just wanted to see the look of his mother.. Can't you do it..?"


"Don't brag anymore, I'm sick of your bullshit."


"OPEN YOUR EYES! YOUR DAUGHTER NEEDS YOU AND YOU'RE EVEN WITH THIS BASTARD GUY?! HEY YOU! REMEMBER. UNTIL WHENEVER YOU'LL NEVER BE RECOGNIZED BY ALUNA."


"Gua doesn't care."


"Aliya, please come to your daughter.. At least she knows what her mother looks like.. At least his last wish was fulfilled, Aliya.."


"Ugh, okay! I met the fucking kid. Where's she?"


To be continue!
