When I Should Choose

Chapter 19 Before Splitting

"Huaa is tired also yes muter-muter while carrying a lot of groceries," complained Holy who was carrying two plastic jackets and thick clothes and some equipment that Artyo might need.

"Come dong spirit Ly, you are the one who nawarin themselves to help," said Artyo who kept walking in front of Holy while carrying a bag containing shoes.

"Ih is so bad," Holy still walked behind Artyo, but he was not strong anymore and chose to sit on one of the benches that were provided to rest.

"Well, why sit?" artyo asked while looking back.

"I raise Tyo's hand. I am tired of this."

"Okaya you wait there, yes, I'm just looking for some more stuff" said Artyo and walked back.

Holy waited while playing his HP. Today she accidentally skipped the last hour of college to accompany Artyo shopping. He did not have time to give any news to Natan so when he opened his HP, Nathan's message flew at him with questions asking his whereabouts.

Holy long enough thought of what reason he should say to Natan, until finally his HP rang.

"Hello?" holy replied doubtfully.

"How long did my partner reply? Where are you again? I did not live on campus?" natan's bass voice hunts Holy with many questions.

"Emm, sorry dear me again... Emm, I'm again..." Holy was very confused looking for an excuse, he was afraid to lie but also afraid to be honest.

"Again what? Can you speak clearly?"

"Yes this is me again nemenin Artyo shopping." Finally, Holy chose to be honest.

"Where are you shopping?"

"In the mall, baby..."

"I went there, yes" said Natan who made Holy deg-degan.

"Well? This is going home. This time Artyo was going home. Until the house I am told. Uh."

Holy turned off his phone and took a deep breath. Artyo also finally came to approach Holy by bringing a glass of boba tea favorite of Holy.

"Nih drink first let the spirit," said Artyo and sat down next to Holy.

"Kamsahamnida" said Holy, mimicking the Korean film he had just seen.

Artyo just smiled knot.

"Have you finished the shopping?" ask Holy while enjoying his drink.

"Udah nih."

"Judah, we go home now."

"Why rush?"

"So I called Nathan and I said I wanted to go home."

"Bucin anyway, yaudah ayok," Nathan brought all his shopping bags.

Only five more days he could spend with Artyo. Every night Holy took the time to come to Artyo's house. Even if it only helps packing.

While at Artyo's place, Holy noticed something strange. Luna was never again seen coming to Artyo's house. Out of curiosity Holy asked, and Artyo only answered casually that he no longer wanted to see Luna's face.

"Why is that?" asked the Holy who was getting curious.

"She's a cunning woman, Ly. Maybe he'll force me to sleep with him."

"Well!!! What's he crazy?" holy said to the point that his eye seeds almost jumped out.

"It looks like it is. She was forced to keep doing chores in her apartment, once or twice I felt nothing strange. But for a long time he acted like a snake. She seduced him by wearing sexy clothes. For one day he forced me to drink until I got drunk. Fortunately I was still conscious and I immediately got angry with him and left" explained Artyo.

"Well crazy, when seen from his face he looks like a good woman. But it turns out in it like a demon," Holy was also upset. "What's important now is that you focus on your future first, I'm sure one day you'll get a really good woman. The woman who can take care of you and keep you company always."

"Amen. You too, Ly. Don't be so pussy Natan, stay focused college huh. And if you don't mind, I want you to take care of yourself as long as I'm not here. Because when I get back, I'll make sure I take care of you."

Holy who was a little slow, did not seem to fully grasp the deepest intent of Artyo's words. But those words will always be remembered by Holy as the farewell words and promises of Artyo.

Holy slowly approached Artyo and gave a farewell hug. Artyo also returned a gentle embrace of Holy. The atmosphere of Artyo's room became warm and full.

Early in the morning, Artyo, accompanied by his mother's father, arrived at the international airport. They must be checked in two hours before departure. Artyo's face looks a little anxious since on the way to the airport.

"Here we take a picture before we leave" said his mother while taking a selfie with her son and husband.

"Are you still waiting for Holy, huh?" asked his father who had been watching Artyo's face.

"Yes well he said he wanted to come," said Artyo as he continued to look at the people who had just come.

"Try you call first, who knows if he got stuck or why," his father suggested.

"It's easy, we still have fifteen minutes to check in" she said, still taking pictures.

Finally Holy picked up his phone, "Hello Holy, where have you been?"

"It's just up to the parking lot, wait, I'll run there," said Holy hastily, then turned off his phone.

It took almost three minutes from the parking lot to the waiting room. Holy ran with all his might so that Artyo would not wait for him for too long.

"Artyooo.." cried Holy and immediately approached Artyo who was sitting with his Mother's Father.

Artyo immediately stood up and greeted Holy with a hug, he was very happy to see the arrival of Holy. With a breath that was still dull, Holy started crying again in Artyo's arms.

"Holy I have something for you, opened at home yes," said Artyo as he gave a gift wrapped in a small pink box and tied with a red ribbon.

"I also have something," Holy gave me a small yellow box. "Just in care."

"Ready," Artyo received a Holy gift and immediately stored it in a bag.

"Let's go before Artyo left you two aunty photos first," said Ms. Artyo who made the two of them smile again even though their eyes were swollen.

Artyo also said goodbye to his parents and also Holy with a sincere smile so that they are not sad.

Time forced them to separate.
