You're Me She

68. A leaf?

In a hurry, Putra boarded a bus that he had booked his tickets online the day before departure. The bus will take him to Bandung, where his parents live in the city. The son intends to pick up his parents and take them to Solo City to propose to his idol.

The atmosphere at the terminal this morning was so crowded, that it made Putra feel paranoid if there were Alia or Anton's men who were following her. Apparently not, until the bus has moved to leave the terminal, there is not a single person who is suspicious or prevents him from leaving the city of Jakarta.

"Why doesn't anyone stop me?" Inner Son.

.

"Where is he?" Alia asked who was sitting in the family room.

The bodyguard who had met and asked Putra looked frightened as Alia asked herself with a flat-looking face.

"He said he wanted a seminar in Bandung. Did he not permit with non Alia first?" Ask the bodyguard.

Alia threw her gaze at the ceiling of the room. Then he let out a long sigh and again dropped his gaze on the bodyguard.

"No."

It looked full of regret on the face of the bodyguard.

"I'm sorry non, if non wants, I'll catch up with him non."

"No, just leave it. If you ask about him, just tell him I let him go."

The bodyguard looked puzzled by Alia's nonchalant answer to the Son's departure. Given the attitude of Alia who always wanted to stick to the Son, it was clear something happened between the Son and Alia. To make the girl suddenly did not care about the Son.

"Non good."

"Yes, back to the front." Alia's orders.

Alia was pensive in the room, her eyes started to tear up in the face of the crying that was about to explode. His chest felt tight, but he tried to surrender with the departure of the Son who he was sure, the man would never return to the house again.

"Whatever happens, I'm resigned. Just don't you get hurt again. Live your life as well as possible." Inner Alia.

.

"So, tomorrow's coming isn't it?" Tasya again asked about Banyu's presence on the day of her engagement with Putra.

Banyu looked at Tasya who he had just delivered back to the residence of the woman of his worship.

"We'll see tomorrow." Sahut Banyu with a look that looks agitated.

"But mas, the time does not want to come to the engagement of his own sister?" Ask Tasya again.

"No, but we'll see tomorrow. I'll try to come." Banyu smiled and sighed to make room for his chest that felt increasingly claustrophobic.

"Yes, by the way, thank you very much. I've been paid by-by, already invited to lunch and hmmm..

Tasya stopped her speech. Then he looked at Banyu closely. Her tears started to expand and almost just dripped down her soft cheeks.

"Mas has been very good to support me from my case in the office and also intends to open a business for me. Thank you very much, s.." Tasya said with a sweet smile to Banyu.

"Anytime Bag..." Banyu Sahut.

They both looked at each other. Such a deep gaze, with such a difficult meaning to express. Two human children who adore each other, but cannot have each other. Two human children who support each other, but cannot walk together as lovers.

"Yes, I went in first. Did Banyu stop by first?"

"Yes, be careful.. Where are you going after this?"

"home."

"Oh. yeah, I did.. Thank you very much."

"Together."

"Be careful on the road."

Banyu nodded and moved from the presence of Tasya who began to open the gate lock of his house. Banyu entered his sedan and started the engine. Before he left, he opened the car window and looked at Tasya who was also staring at him from behind the black-painted gate.

"Be careful.." Tasya said as she waved her hand and smiled sweetly at Banyu.

"You too." Sahut Banyu while running his car at medium speed.

.

Banyu was silent at the intersection when he stopped his car when the red light came on. He imagined the sweet face and smile of the woman he had to be ready to let go for his sister, the Son. There is no other choice but to let go. It is better not to be with Tasya, than to take Tasya from his own younger brother and make the relationship between himself and the Son become fractured, or even a break in the relationship of brothers.

Banyu dropped his forehead on the steering wheel of the car and secretly tears fell from his two shady eyes.

"Where else would I meet a woman like you. Or can someone replace you?" Mumbled wailing.

Banyu was feeling an endless sadness. When he lost Tika, the wife he loved so much, then he met a woman who could make himself fall in love again. But it is all extinct after the flowers of love are forced to wither before it can develop.

Banyu lifted his face when he heard the horn from the car that was right behind him. He glanced at the lights that had changed to green, a sign he had to run his car immediately. Immediately, Banyu drove off his car and walked off somewhere. He circled the capital road that looked solid but smooth. Until he recalled the figure of Tika, yes, he had not visited the grave for a week. He turns his steering wheel to the cemetery complex, where Tika rests quietly there.

A few minutes later, Banyu spai in the cemetery complex. He got out of his car which he parked outside the fence of the cemetery complex. He walked towards the block where Tika's tomb was located. Until his footsteps stopped in a tomb with a gravestone that reads the name of the woman he once loved so much.

"Assalamu'alaikum darling.." Banyu said as he squatted right next to the tomb that looks very well preserved.

"I came back to see you. How are you doing there?"

Banyu rubbed the tombstone of Tika gently.

"How are our children? I miss you both so much."

The breeze blew, the sound of friction leaves from trees growing around the tomb, making the atmosphere so bitter.

"When you appear in my dream, there I believe you will bless me to start a new life with another woman. But I still doubt. After I started asking myself questions, I finally thought, Your messages in dreams have a point. I started to dare to fall in love. But my son and I love the same woman. What am I supposed to do?" Banyu bowed lethargic as he stared at the mound of mound of land.

"Tomorrow, they'll get engaged. I can only see their happiness. Tika... is there a woman as perfect as you and Tasya?"

The wind blows again, until the leaves fall and fly carried by the wind. A leaf fell right over the mound in Tika's tomb. Banyu stared at the leaf, as if he got an answer from Tika who was different in the world from him.

"Daun?" Her muttering.

.

Yes, leaf..

No leaf has fallen except the will of your Lord. However, the fallen leaves will change with new leaves. As long as the tree is still on the ground, the tree will always face all the weather and wind that forces it to remain standing firmly on the ground. Except.., the Lord said that the tree had to end and die. - De'rini-
