You, Or Him

Episode 14

"Congratulations, yes.."

Fisya stretched out her hand. Rumi smiled happily. The sparkle of his happiness was clearly visible on his face. 

Rumi turned and looked surprised, but still happy because of the presence of his best friend. They hugged. While the person next to Rumi looked so nervous.

" Yes.. How the hell did you get here? I even wanted to tell you about the other one too. "

Fisya just smiled in response to Rumi's words.

" Dear, know this about me, his name is Fisya." Rumi put her hand in Zidan's.

Zidan was nervous, looking agitated. Sweat began to pour on his forehead.

"Liet down. Kok lo kerawning anyway, even though if I think the ac is already quite cold here." Fisya chuckled but looked at Zidan sharply.

"Honey.. Come dong acquaintance," Rumi looked at her fiance was confused.

"Ga needs. We already know. Is that right, Dit? Oh sorry, I mean Zidan." said Fisya who sounded sad in Zidan's own ear.

"Any? On whom?" Rumi was really confused. Now he looks at the two in turn.

"Ga's important. The point is we already know." again Fisya looked at Zidan horror. "Gue go back first yes, Kasian Zia wait a long time," continued Fisya later.

" There's Zia too? Want to meet Zia dong, want to show off her fiance," said Rumi. Rumi chuckled at the thought of how her famous pal's response was.

"Zia temen you?" ask Zidan. After a long silence, he finally opened his voice. Awkwardness increases.

"Darling, I went to the toilet first. You're here first," she said. Before Rumi answered Zidan had already left his place.

Rumi looked at the man's back. Then he turned to look at Fisya. Rumi felt something strange about her best friend. Fisya and Zia were both excited. Why is it becoming more quiet now? Rumi tried not to think about it.

"We'll wait for Zidan, okay?"

Fisya only nodded briefly, and sighed a few times. Like there is a burden. But already, Rumi did not want to worsen Fisya's current mood.

A man spread his eyes across the parking lot. Then his gaze stopped on a small chair made of stone. There was sitting a shoulder-haired woman who was allowed to unravel.

The man walked closer, closer. And now the distance is only a few steps to align himself with the woman.

The man sighed, asphyxiated.

"Honey," he said softly.

Feeling alone and no one, Zia turned to see who was behind her. But he immediately stood up when he realized who it was.

The man was still observing the face of the woman who had currently been standing facing him. His eyes are red and a little puffy. The tip of his nose is flushed. If the situation was not bad, he would have laughed at the woman.

Yes, that man is Aditya Zidan. Zia's boyfriend and Rumi's fiancee were announced a few hours ago.

"Zi, I'm late.. " Adit stopped his words. He looked at Zia guilty.

"I should have told you first, but I couldn't" he muttered, which Zia could still hear.

Zia was still standing in the same place without any movement.

"I had no choice but to make you a bet. But when the betting time ended, I saw you happy while with me. That's what made me not want to end the relationship. Until finally-"

"Udah?" ask Zia. He can't listen to Adit's story. Her ego as a woman is stifled. Protecting her heart is much more important now.

"If you have, please leave me." he said later.

"Zi, horrify me first." asked Adit to beg.

"You want what the hell? Want to get my heartache back?" zia's tone has gone up. Her chest tightened if she continued to listen to this man speak.

"Zi, I didn't mean that. It's why I used to,"

"Don't touch me!" zia's screams are held back.

"Zia, don't look like this dong." complained Adit. The man had already breathed out many times.

"Don't this? So how do you want? I laugh happily after seeing my boyfriend, seeing someone I love just proposed to another woman? Huh yeah?"

"Zi.. "

Adit did not care about Zia who constantly brushed her hand away. He kept trying to hold the woman's hand. He knew the woman was fragile.

" I was horrified that's why!" bentak Adit's. "You can't conclude what you saw so. Because what you see is not necessarily true!" continued.

Now Zia's hand is in Adit's grasp. Zia. I can't try hard as before. She cried. Heart's shaken. She needs to cry again this time.

"I'm wrong" murmured Zia.

"I thought you loved me. I guess I'm the only woman you'll introduce to your family, and will be a part of your life."

Zia wiped her rough tears and looked at Adit who was staring at her as well. "I guess I'm the only lucky woman who can get you. Turns out I was wrong, I'm just the guy you made the object of the bet. Damn you could win that."

Zia again brushed off the man's hand.

" Zi, beat me up first. I can clear it."

"Clearly what? How did the bet initially take place? How do you get a reward for succeeding? Aye, gee? I hate you."

Zia looked at Adit disappointed. His voice hinted that there was no more love. There is only hatred.

"Zi, i..."

Zia raised her hand. Zia didn't want to listen to anything at the moment.

"A few days ago, I still made you a special person. I always defend you in front of my friends when they talk bad about you. I always praise you, I always say you love me so much and vice versa, I always argue when they convince you that you are not serious with me. I always argue when they say you're going to leave me, I always argue when they say you're a coward, do you know how stupid I was then?"

Again Adit wanted to hold Zia's hand so that the girl would calm down. But it remains the same, always on the edge raw by Zia.

"I was wrong, I misunderstood you. I feel like I want to take away all the compliments and hopes that even I myself have uttered. You think my feelings are just playful?"

Adit just silently listened to Zia's words. Zia's words felt so piercing the recesses of her heart.

"I thought you were a prince, but it turns out you're nothing more than a psychopath who can play tricks on people's feelings!"

Zia took a few steps back. Reversing and starting to step dead Adit.

"Don't you love me anymore?" jerit Adit is arrested.

Zia's steps stopped, then turned her body back to face Adit.

Zia chuckles. But the sharp eyes do not stay in the show.

"What did you say? Darling?" Zia laughing. But it sounded painful in Adit's ears. "Like this run out I have to check the ears, something's wrong."

"Zi, I'm serious. Do you love me?" ask Adit frustrated.

"Honey. I love you so much, before you finally destroyed all my race a few hours ago."

Adit was about to step up. But he stopped because he saw Zia's hand that signaled a stop.

"Maybe it doesn't feel like this, if I don't fall in love with you too much."

Zia ran away leaving Adit who was still faithful to see her. Her chest is painful. Sweet memories with Zia as if deliberately swirled nicely in his mind. The tiny lips that always gave that sweet smile had just awakened her from a great mistake. The woman who always forgives him even though again makes the same mistake.

"Dear, I'm sorry."
