After Wedding
Feeling guilty for his actions

Devan breathed. Then, he grabbed his Tanten hand.

"I'm sorry Devan, Auntie. Looks like Devan's decision has been round, which is to leave the house. Auntie doesn't have to come with me to move house. This is Aunt Vando's house, don't move out of this house. I beg you Auntie, allow me to leave this house. Don't worry, I'll come to see Auntie a lot, and take Aunty for a walk." Devan was begging.

Vando's mother, who feels hard to lose her niece, does not want to feel separated. From childhood, Devan was treated as a baby like his own biological child. In fact, his affection is nothing less for Devan.

Likewise with Devan, it actually feels heavy to part with his Tantenya. But what can he be? I can only find a way out so I can avoid his feelings.

Vando's mother who can not force, also chose to obey his will.

"Well, if that's your choice. Aunty can't force you to stay in this house. Take good care of yourself if you want to live somewhere else. May you find your happiness." Reply Tante.

Devan tries to remain calm, though his heart feels broken when the harsh reality has to be swallowed raw. Heartache, disappointment, now what can he do? he can only live his life as fate dictates.

"Auntie doesn't have to be sad, anyway I didn't go far. I will play in this house. Aunt too, take good care of Auntie. I'm sorry I couldn't get Aunt to stay together." Devan.

"Yes, it's late, Auntie wants a break. Take good care of yourself. Don't forget, if you want to move, say goodbye to Auntie." Reply Tante.

"Yes, Aunt." Devan said with a nod.

Because the body feels tired and already drowsy, Vando's mother immediately returned to the room to rest. Likewise with Devan, he went to his room to get ready so that the morning is not in a hurry.

When he was in the room, an album of his marriage with Liyan, apparently still neatly stored in the closet. With his feelings already broken, now there was only a memory so painful for him.

"Is this my life complicated? without the affection of the parents, also without the love for me of the one I love?" his murmur was unknowingly shedding tears to wet his wedding album with Liyan.

"Let'soooooo!" devan shouted so loud, shattered already his hopes with the dreams and hopes he kept, but it hurt for him.

Vando who happened to just come out of the room and heard a screaming sound from inside his cousin's room because the door was open, of course it can be captured by his hearing senses Vando.

"Sister! Brother Devan. What's Devan's sister?"

Worried Vando, he went straight into his room. Devan himself immediately returned his photo album into the closet. Then, she wiped her tears so as not to look crying.

"Ngapain you went into my room. My legs are cramping again, maybe the cholesterol is going up. So, it's only natural that I scream. It's been there back to your room, it's not good the newlyweds are out of the room." Sahut Devan who did not look at all.

The curious Vando, not caring about it, was determined to approach him.

"Son Devan why? is it because of my marriage?" ask Vando who finally opened the chat.

"What are you talking about, Van? it has nothing to do with your marriage. It's real that my cholesterol goes up, so it's like this, it hurts a lot in my back. Been back in your room. Pity your wife if you leave her alone in the room. Oh yes, I want to say goodbye. Tomorrow I'm moving house. You stay in this house looking after Auntie, I can't take Aunt with me, because Auntie is the most precious treasure for you."

At that moment, Vando immediately hugged Devan, feeling guilty for destroying the happiness of his own cousin.

"I'm sorry, brother. I'm sorry for seizing your happiness. If you want to be angry, just pour your emotions on me. Promise me, I won't be angry." Vando said he regretted it.

Devan immediately released a hug from Vando. Then, he looked at her seriously.

"You're innocent, because you don't know the beginning of the story between me and Liyan. Never mind, you don't need to talk about my past anymore. I'm already breastfed, if you become Liyan's husband. I believe, if you are able to please Liyan your wife." Devan answered trying to stay strong, even though the reality destroyed his feelings.

"I'm sorry, brother. I promise, I will take responsibility for Liyan. Also, I'll make Liyan happy." Vando apologized.

Devan tried to smile, even though his smile was bitter.

"Yes, now you go back to your room. It's late, it's time to rest. Poor wife you're alone." Devan replied, Vando agreed and immediately returned to his room.

Devan is alone in the room. It felt empty without anyone accompanying him, and was used as a place for his outpouring of heart.

Unable to sleep, Devan picks up a guitar and sits back on the balcony playing his guitar. Of course instead of to comfort himself from his broken heart.

While playing his guitar, Devan while remembering the beautiful memories with the woman who has decorated his days. It is as if there are no more memories to repeat.

In another room, Vando who had just walked into his room, looked lethargic and uninspired.

"You why? looks like your face is so sluggish. You're not dehydrated, are you?" liyan asked when she found her husband lost his spirit.

"Maybe I'm a sapper. You haven't slept? it's tonight, you know. Said your stomach cramping effect came months, I haven't even slept."

"I don't know why, I can't sleep. It may have hormonal effects, so it's hard to sleep. Yes, I want to make myself sleep, pity also with my physical if I can not sleep as well. I'm first yeah."

Vando assented and smiled, Liyan herself rushed over to lay her body on the bed, and changed it in a slant while hugging the bolster.

Vando who was not sleepy, he chose to sit relaxed on the balcony. Who would have thought, when he came out, apparently he could hear and see if Devan was playing his guitar. Also, it sounds like he is recalling memories of his past only through guitar quotes.

"I'm sorry, Brother Devan. I shouldn't have taken your happiness. It was my fault, and I was really stupid back then. If I had known that Liyan was going to be your wife, there was no way I would have taken her away from you." He murmured with regret.
