A Piece of Asa In A Taste
About Feelings

Ghani fell silent, no answer had come out of his mouth for a few seconds. Ghani just stared at the shady and clear blue bead. He tried to dive into the bottom, looking for meaning in the sentence he just said.

As if awakened from her daydream, Bylla looked down, cutting off the gaze between herself and Ghani. Not to forget, he also pulled his hand, and linked on his lap.

"Sorry, I mean miss your wise words. Thanks to your advice and motivation, I'm excited and not fragile anymore, thank you." Bylla said nervously.

Ghani smiled as she grabbed Bylla's hand. He clasped both of Bylla's hands with his rough fingers.

"Thank you for setting aside a little miss for me. You know, from the first time I met you, the shadow of you always incarnated in my blind space" Ghani said, staring fixedly at Bylla.

Ghani occasionally closed his eyes, and let out a long sigh, in order to neutralize his abnormal heartbeat.

"Sir..you mean?" asked Bylla nervously. For the first time, he felt misbehaved when dealing with Ghani.

"In my mind, there's only you. In my heart, there is only your name. Until now, I wasn't worthy to express my feelings, but you know, it's been growing and blooming. Bylla, there are so many things I want to talk to you about" Ghani replied with a smile.

Bylla lowered her head, peeping her increasingly blushing face. The beach wind was unable to dampen the warm feeling that began to spread from the bottom of his heart. Could Ghani love her? One question kept spinning in Bylla's mind.

"The next day I will go to Jakarta" Ghani said without further ado.

Bylla immediately raised her face, and looked at the man who was right in front of her. He did not care even though Ghani saw his reddened face, he was already shocked by the sentence he had just thrown. After giving such a sky-high wish, he suddenly said a farewell word, what does that mean?

"Bylla, I met the producer yesterday, and he said he was interested in my voice. I will follow him to Jakarta, I want to complain about my fate, and try to pioneer my career there. Pray that all this will go smoothly, so that I can erode the differences between us" continued Ghani while still holding Bylla's hand.

He breathed a sigh of relief after revealing everything.

"I never thought we were different Ghani, I accept whatever is inside you." Bylla quickly.

He lowered his self-esteem a little, and admitted all his feelings. Hope Ghani doesn't leave.

"I'm just a paralyzed woman, I still don't know until when I can recover. If one day Ghani becomes a star, will he choose me who is disabled?" Bylla in her heart.

Fear began to seep into Bylla's heart, fearing that reality would not live up to her expectations. Although he is not a celebrity, he knows a little about their lives.

As a singer, she will often interact with several models to release video clips. And in addition, she will also often interact with female singers for collaboration. From the news that often Bylla see, many of them are then involved in love location. Will Ghani stick with her feelings if she is surrounded by many women who are far more perfect than her?

"Bylla, what's wrong with you?" ghani asked as she watched Bylla quietly while biting her lips.

"I.i.m..."

"Tell me," said Ghani.

"Can't just stay here, don't go to Jakarta" Bylla said in a stifled tone.

"I want to reassure Bylla. I know you don't mind our differences, but as a man, I want to take responsibility, too. In addition to taking care of your heart, I also want to meet the needs of your life. I want to be a valuable person in front of your family. I want to be the person you can be proud of, and also you count on, so you don't regret leaning your life on me" Ghani said at length.

"But Ghani, I'm scared." Say Bylla slowly. He closed his eyes, pushing away the tears that were about to seep out.

Bylla could not imagine if the events of the past would repeat themselves a second time. Abandoned, when the dream is only a moment.

"What are you afraid of?" ghani asked while tidying up Bylla's hair that was messy because it was blown by the wind.

"If you become a singer, there will be many women who admire you. Will you stick to your feelings, if there are many perfect women around you. As for me, you see how I am doing" replied Bylla, looking down.

"Didn't you trust me, Bylla? Listen to me, whatever happens, you're still in my heart" Ghani said, letting go.

Ghani grabbed a small object in his pants pocket. Then he again grabbed Bylla's hand, and pinned the jewel ring on Bylla's ring finger.

In that instant, Bylla could no longer hold back tears. The clear circle just dripped from the corner of his eye. Between being happy, moved, and also agitated, all those feelings raged in his heart.

"I promise I will always look after her, and you also promise not to let me down. I've entrusted my heart to you, please don't tarnish it," said Bylla with a sweet smile.

"I promise."

"Which producer will take you, Ghani?" bylla asked as she wiped the corners of her wet eyes.

"Producers who wade Boundaries." Answer Bylla.

Bylla seemed to have trouble swallowing his saliva, he knew who Boundaries, a famous band that lately is on the rise. Again the feeling of fear re-emerged in his heart, will his story with Ghani end happily, or maybe even end in injury?

Bylla bit her lip, she herself did not really understand how it was related to Ghani. Said to be a nobody, but the man had already pinned the ring on his ring finger. It was said to be a lover, but the man had not expressed his true love. They just talk about their feelings, there is no sentence 'i love you' and 'i love you too' can something like this be said by lovers? I don't know.

"Don't change your number, I'll call you later" Ghani said, with a nod from Bylla.

***

Amidst the dimness of the night, only befriending the light of passing vehicles, Ghani walks down the paved streets.

Occasionally a smile fell on his lips, feeling relieved after giving a decision to Tommy Dinata.

Ghani had just met the producer, he agreed to cooperate, and the day after tomorrow they would leave for Jakarta. Ghani refuses when Tommy offers to take care of his foster children. They have not known for long, Ghani feels bad if too troublesome. There is still Arron who lives with them.

Ghani also felt relieved, after speaking to Bylla. He did not expect, if he dared to pin the ring on Bylla's ring finger.

"Oh Allah, may this be a good start to my relationship with Bylla" Ghani said.

Ghani hastened his steps to get home soon. He wanted to spend his time with the children, before the day after tomorrow had to leave them.

***

Two days later, when the sun had not yet moved from the eastern horizon. Ghani and Tommy have arrived at Juanda Airport. Ghani stood firm, staring at the iron bird that would lead him to the opposite city. Tommy deliberately booked the first flight ticket.

Actually the destination is not too far away, but somehow Ghani's heart is very anxious, as if afraid if someday can not return to this city.

Being a singer, what was her life like after that?

Desire to change his decision, but all is done. The longer he stared at the iron bird, the more he hesitated over the decision he had made.

"Come Ghani!" take Tommy who just bought a drink.

"I.iya." Ghani answered nervously. It's too late if he changes his decision now.

"O Allah, may my choice be right" Ghani said, following Tommy's steps.

A few minutes later, Ghani was already sitting on a bench, inside the plane. For the first time he's riding something like this. Nervous, scared? No, all Ghani had in mind was fretting and fidgeting. It was as if it was hard leaving the city that he had been in since youth.

Shortly afterwards, Ghani felt the tremors of the plane that was starting to take off. He closed his eyes, and continued to pray that his choice was not wrong.

"O Allah, strengthen my heart, and ease my path. Arron takes good care of the kids, I trust you. Bylla wait for me to come back," Ghani said, clutching a piece of paper that read Bylla's phone number.
