A Series of Dreams

“Lapse of soul mate.” Seruni answered as she could.
Questions that have always been avoided. He didn't want to scrape a wound that wasn't even healed. Making Caraka a part of his future, Seruni's dream did not expect to enjoy the pain of being betrayed. The punch was crammed, making it almost toppled. If he doesn't remember his life being long, he might choose to end up in vain.
His first love was taken away in a vile way. Pain that rips off as if it does not stop. She is devastated when she learns Caraka is having an affair in the back with her own sister. Crying for days until the tears dry, Seruni finally resigned to fate. Remember the father's advice, sustenance, soul mate, and death are the lines of the Powerful. He was asked to be sincere and let the man he loved belong to Kenanga.
“So simple your answer, Ni?” Wisely turned a glance, then refocused on the steering wheel.
“Life is hard, Aa. If you want to stay sane, it must be made simple. Don't over-demand, don't expect too much. Not all goals can be fought for. And love too. Man is a great planner. Let alone tomorrow, even decades into the future have been strung in the mind. But, back again. Our life and death owners are more powerful. If we force it and the One at the Top says no, then what can we do?”
“Simple it?” Wisely.
“Seeing simple. But, I'm living out the feeling of wanting to kill myself.”
Wisely listened in between his focus on steering. There is something special that Seruni has and is not found in the women who have stopped in his life.
“I'm heartbroken. I want to die. Me ...” Seruni lowered her head, hiding a tinge of sadness that was attacking back. Do not want to look weak, rubbing rough tears that greet the cheeks.
The handsome man who was quietly observing it was suddenly touched. A sheet of tissue is pulled from the carton box on top of the dashboard. Something made him jealous. For a long time, she had never been grieved by a woman. How precious a Caraka is. Behind all, there was a Seruni who loved him selflessly.
“He's so stupid!” Wisely swore suddenly. He jerked the girl next to him.
“Why, Aa?” Seruni threw a question while staring in wonder.
“Ti .. no. It's just that I feel like Caraka is stupid. He took you off and exchanged it for .. ah already. His soul mate. Better so.”
Wisely did not continue. He was ashamed if Seruni knew his heart.
It's better this way. At least Seruni is much better than Kenanga.
“I?” The car Wisely was driving slowed down. There was a dash of hesitation to tell a story, his life could not be said to be beautiful either.
Seruni nodded.
“I have no choice.” Wisely bluntly.
“Why? Aa handsome, mapan. Where may not have a choice.” Seruni does not believe. “In the city surely many girls are chasing.”
“Not really.” Wisely shakes.
“Aa lie, ‘kan?”
“Serious, Ni. I'm not lying.” The handsome man smiled bitterly. “When we have everything, we find it difficult to sort out where is real, where is lying. The women around me are many.”
“Definitely pretty-beautiful, yes, Aa?”
“Ya, there you go.” Wisely answered honestly.
“Then, why did Aa choose to accept me? I'm definitely the most kampungan compared to Aa's girlfriends in town.” Seruni suddenly low self.
“Who said that?” Wisely looked straight at the highway.
“I guessed it, Aa.”
“Not really. Just like you who are confused why I chose you. I was also confused as to why they approached me? Really like me ... or like my wallet.”
