...You can sacrifice one person...
...for the future?...
...What if he...
...part of the future...

Our fingers were still intertwined with a soothing sense of comfort but the sense turned evaporative when Bian asked.
"Darling, what were you before I came here to do?"
"Why indeed?"
"You stink, man" He teased me but I realized I hadn't had a bath after wrestling with the dough, the oil and all the ingredients of the chicken noodles on the course.
My face reddened, My reflexes pulled my hand because I just realized it.
"Darling, I was joking," Bian looked shocked to see me instantly standing up and rushed to avoid him.
"I'll take a shower!" Soon my feet stepped into the bathroom. Who would have thought Bian would come without telling. I took a shower sooner than usual so Bian wouldn't have to wait long.
When I went out to see Bian, I brought two cups of black coffee and brownies that mom made this morning.
"I was joking, Don't sulk, yeah" Bian reached out to me. He pulled back to sit next to her.
"Eh..," I immediately sat down beside him.
"Hehee, I'm worried to see you're embarrassed,"
"Huhhhhhhhh,"
"I miss how many days I haven't seen you,"
"Me too, Brother Bian. Do you want to tell me why there was a fight with your father?"
Bian did not immediately reply he took the coffee cup, Sipped slowly then breathed heavily.
"There was Tasya there in our family meeting,"
"Why is there Tasya? What's going on?"
Bian turned his gaze towards me, his Netra looked into my eyes that were still curious about his words.
"There's a fight there,"
"Yes what fight? you make me curious."
"Anggrek do you really want to know this right now?" I nodded quickly to answer Bian's question.
"You didn't call me for three days, just answered all the messages I sent. Today I can't wait to meet you, you didn't ask me at all. You were so observant looking at my cracked phone screen but couldn't see my wounded heart."
My lips opened and then clenched back. All the words I wanted to get out were stuck in my throat. All of Bian's words rained down precisely. For the first time he spoke at length about how he felt
"Yes I know the phone screen can be seen directly with the eyes but not with the heart only a sincere feeling can feel it. Are you sincerely in love with me or are there still others?"
I can only stare this time, Yes how many days Bian in Jakarta I did was to secure my efforts from the pressure of Setya. Prepare steps and plans in the future. There was absolutely no place to think about Bian's situation there.
My eyes blinked with lips that were unable to dodge. What am I supposed to say? the reality is I'm thinking of a step for myself.
Knowing what happened will make it easier to deal with a Setya Prasetya. Here I forget why Setya acted. All because there was Bian his son who defended me.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't ask you for your love's sincerity because when you know who's making your efforts come out even you're not mad at me."
Bian apologized, Am I being too selfish in this relationship.
"Yes, baby, I'm sorry. How are you doing now, Brother Bian?"
Bian smiled widely, He hugged me tightly, clenched as if looking for strength and whispered slowly.
"My engagement date is set."
********
"Whataaa!! Release Biaaan!"
"No." Bian was getting tighter hugging me "No way, no,"
I pushed Bian as hard as I could. Ever since I found out Setya was behind my efforts. Alert alarms slowly began to show themselves within me.
Bian didn't shift one bit. I once said that I didn't want to be hurt a second time.
"Anggrek, I beg you. Calm yourself." Bian said slowly, His voice calms me down.
...I have to fight for one person...
...with future bets,...
...Wish you?...
Bian saw my response that was just silent. He released slowly.
"I didn't want to say it, but you're more interested in knowing what's going on even if sooner or later you have to know it."
"So when was the engagement?"
"Three months,"
My body trembled slightly listening to Bian's words. Why is my love story sickening. On the other hand I want to run from the reality but on the other hand I still want to survive.
"We were supposed to get married but mom gave me a proposal for an engagement to make room for me to finish the unfinished one,"
"All right, we're gonna finish it,"
"Why did you become this hard, Orchid. You know I'd be ruined if our relationship didn't continue,"
"I've been hurt and I don't want to go back to feeling the same,"
"I won't make sure of that."
"It's not as easy as saying a word. Even without having to be here. Your papa can do what he wants,"
"Give me a chance,"
I picked up a cup of coffee that I immediately drank the toilet. A habit when in a position that drains the mind.
"What are you gonna do?"
"Honey, it's best that all of our photos on social media be deleted because from there they see us. Now that's just our first step,"
"Alright, Bian go home first. Give me some time to calm down,"
"No, I'm not coming home until you promise not to leave me,"
"Yes,"
"Yes what?"
"I promise I won't leave you," the sentence came out as if my consciousness made sure that was exactly what I wanted.
"Thank you baby, I love you."
"Thank you for your love,"
"I want a reply," Bian clasped my hands together.
"I love you, Bian Prasetya."
**********
The broken wings of Kahlil Gibran echoed in my heart. When I was in High School, a friend read Kahlil Gibran's work by animating.
I am still a cheerful teenager and have never been hurt because love only considers strands of words, Why should torture myself in a winding love.
Who would have guessed how many years later it was I who was on a winding love journey.
I must act, No one can suppress a Maharani Orchid. This time they tested my patience. Continued to be in a state of excitement will make me crazy. I'll start another plan to deal with everything that's going on.
The broken wings of Kahlil Gibran sounded slowly back in the recesses of the heart.
...When love calls you,...
...Follow him even though his path is winding.....
...When his wings encapsulate you surrender and surrender,...
...Even if the sword hidden between the wings hurts you.....
...The body has desires that we do not know...
...They were separated for earthly reasons and separated at the ends of the earth,...
...Don't cry my beloved, don't cry and be happy,...
...Because we are bound together in love ,...
...Only love is beautiful, we can endure the pain of poverty,...
...The bitterness of grief, and the sorrow of farewell....
...I want to love you simply, though,...
...As the word that wood cannot say to fire that makes it ash,...
...I want to love you simply, though,...
...Like the signal that the clouds send to the rain that makes it go away....
