When Love Fades

meet an ex

Mayanist.. Yeah, that woman is Maya. The woman who loved Alan so much from the very first moment. But Alan steadfastly left Maya for a Renata whom he had just met. I don't know what was on his mind at the time.

At that time, there were two women who were close to Alan. Lila and Maya. They are both friends of Zahra, Alan's younger brother. Lila and Maya don't know each other. Lila was Zahra's best friend when she was in high school. While Maya is a friend of Zahra when studying Sriwijaya University Palembang.

"God .... Alan... You are Alan, right ? You how are you ? What is it that keeps doing here ?. Oh my God.. It's coincidence or God's destiny ". Maya Nyerocos seemed to not believe the people she saw.

Alan only fell silent and nailed himself to the side of the road after learning the woman in front of him was his ex-lover. Mayanist.

"heil .... Alaan... Why bengong ..?". Maya waves her hand in front of Alan's face, intending to wake him from the daydream.

"Oh yes.. What are you doing here ?". Alan asked while his mouth was stiff. Instead of answering Maya's question, she asked.

"I ..???. I now live here with Om Bima.

I decided to leave Indonesia after you dumped me. Seven years ago". Maya's tone began to drop. Not as enthusiastic as the first conversation.

"Sorry.. Ii'm sorry. I was wrong".

"Its okay.. No problems. Let's just forget everything". Maya said as she shrugged both of her shoulders.

"You're how May is ".

"I'm kind.. Oh yea.. Shouldn't we find a place to talk. How long we gotta stand here". Maya starts to feel aching in her legs.

"Oh yes.. We'll find a place ". Alan forgot he had to go to work this morning.

"On that cafe alone. More comfortable". Maya points to the cafe that Alan and Devina used to meet.

"Oh ... I forget.. I have to work. Next time we'll connect". Alan hit his forehead.

"How about tonight we meet at the cafe".

"Can.. At seven".

"Kipp..".

That was Alan and Maya's meeting after Alan got married seven years ago. They first met in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. At that time Zahra was following a study tour held by the campus.

Flashback ....

Zahra asked her brother to meet her when she was in Yogya later. Because they have not met for a long time. Zahra attended Palembang while Alan attended Surabaya. Even the day Alan chose not to go home. He was more comfortable living in the cottage.

That's where Maya immediately fell in love when she saw Alan. Though Alan is more interested in Zahra's other friends but Alan has not been acquainted.

They are often in touch via phone and text, because at that time there was no whatsApp application like now.

One month, one month,

Two months, two months,

Three months have passed. Maya begins to introduce Alan to her family.

But before that, Zahra will have her wedding. And Maya will be there. It was an opportunity for Alan to introduce Maya to his extended family. All the families agreed, but there was Om Malik and Aunt Seli who did not approve, on the grounds that they were not Javanese. Beda. And blah blah blah.

That afternoon Alan played to Om Malik's house. The two of them talked a lot but often fought too. The trigger is just a difference of opinion.

"l. Anyway Om doesn't agree that you married Maya".

"What's wrong Maya ?. She's gorgeous. Attractively. Baiyoke. High-educated. Broad-minded. Accept me for who I am. Isn't that the dream of men ?".

"Of course, Om disagrees. If you can find a woman of Javanese descent and can get married in the near future. Om who charges everything. You're sitting pretty sweet on the bail".

"okay.. I'm accepting your challenge. Mr. Malik. Excuse um. Assalamualaikum".

"Greetings walaikum".

From there Alan began to look for women who want to marry in the near future. Lila and Maya are not ready. Maya asks for time back next year. While Lila had to take care of leave first at her workplace in Jakarta. For Alan these two women did not fulfill his wish.

One day, Alan contacts Tika who is also Zahra's best friend.

"Pik. Find me a girl you want to marry in the near future ".

"Huh ...?? Alan is funny. Everything needs a process. Do not refer to (suddenly ) directly married. Where is Alan's mas".

"Anyway find. If I don't see you, you're the one I married". Alan was a little threatening.

"Lohh.... Yo don't go to mas. I already have a boyfriend. Yes, I am patient.. I sought".

"So old. I'll wait until noon tomorrow".

"Yes to Alan".

Tika hung up on me. Afraid of Alan talking weird again.

Tika's racking her brain. About who's on Alan's terms. He finally remembered. Yeah.. That guy is me. Renata Amalia's.
