The dream of terminal 2 international departures at Soetta airport, is not able to make the peace of Kineta's heart today. Both of his parents officially divorced after a big fight that occurred. Kineta had no idea why her parents, who were the foundation for always seeing the meaning of love, now seemed meaningless.
His steps now followed the mother who was dragging a large suitcase in front of him.
There was no choice when he was asked to choose, Father or mother. But in the end he chose his mother who looks more fragile and not as fresh as his father.
Today he will leave his hometown and country of birth, leaving behind his new high school friends when attending school orientation. This should have been the beginning of Kineta being a high school student, but what a disastrous force the separation of her parents could never save her.
"Mirra!" The loud call to her name made Kineta turn to look at the tall thin-looking young man and the glasses running towards her.
"Gion?"his mutter looked at the strange Ocean Argion who was panting heavily regulating his breathing.
Their age was only 3 years different, but their closeness and familiarity made Kineta reluctant to call the man in front of her with big sister frills.
"Mama wait on the plane" Ranti said to Kineta who nodded obediently and glanced at Argion.
"Why are you here, om Halim who's taking care that you're here?" kineta exclaimed immediately questioning the presence of Argion before him at this moment. Because as Kineta knows Argion's father is being treated in a hospital.
"I left you for a while" Argion stared firmly at Kineta. The man who had just entered the lecture bench was now trying his gamble to hold Kineta by his side. A girl who means a lot to him.
"I love you" Kineta looked at Argion in surprise. It wasn't that speech that Kineta had expected when he was crushed like this.
The two are indeed close, as close as the relationship of his parents who were also close friends during college, plus the attachment of a jointly managed business and the adjoining house building make their closeness without restrictions on each other. Kineta and Argion spend more time together than with their parents who are always busy working before the storm of destruction comes to their families.
"I'm sorry, you shouldn't talk about things I'll never trust again. That feeling of love is no longer important in my life"
"It's because they're not loyal enough to want to keep their love or they never have that love" Argion touches Kineta's two upper arms to reassure her. Argion knows Kineta is very disappointed with the destruction of his family, but before the increasingly devastated Argion wants to save them both.
"You said what the hell Gion is! You better go back to the hospital and take good care of your father. As if that was all we could do to protect our parents" Kineta brushed off Argion's hands.
"If you don't choose me to be next to you right now, then don't blame the bad fate that might happen between us"
Kineta looked at Argion bitterly "I've been in the worst destiny of my life Gion. Don't give me any more choices, I'm sick of all these choices. So Stop! I beg you to stop, to make me choose" Kineta said with tears in her eyes.
"We have to stop for that stupid feeling!" Kineta brushed her tears. She had been crying too much and it made her heart ache even more.
Perhaps if Ocean Argion had said so before the storm of her family's destruction occurred, Kineta would have accepted the man's declaration of love wholeheartedly. But before and after are always the difference. Kineta, who is currently deadening her heart for a word called love.
"Go home Gion, goodbye!" Kineta continued his steps without turning back to look at a man who was shedding tears behind his glasses. He failed to convince Kineta.
Argion was still standing staring at the small back that entered the automatic glass door until it disappeared. He had gone so far as to stop her, even expressing his pent-up feelings.
His two hands were now clenched as the shadow of the mastermind of all this destruction. He can't say it, he promised. The burden and pain he now felt would be an untouched wall. And for that girl, she would bear this sense of brokenness alone. Maybe Kineta will forever not need to know, if this storm was created from both their families.
