Anesta And Mahesa

Anesta And Mahesa
The end of all this


"Bee, are you sure of your decision?"


"Yes. I'm tired of fighting, I want to stop. Forget all that wishful thinking Mahesa"


"I can't Bee, I can't take it. It's not fair to me"


"Sometimes life isn't fair Sa, I learn to accept it. Go baby. Abandon me. I'm sorry" I once again said sorry from my lips.


"Look, I'm tired"


"Well Bee, tonight I'm leaving. But someday I'll be back. Question your decision again"


Mahesa left me. Gontai's steps. I just looked at his departure from a distance.


Quickly I ran to the room, collapsed already tears were held back. Heart's broken. I feel defeated. It took me how long to get someone back to fill my heart.


Go Mahesa, I hope that someday you will find my replacement.

It's been two weeks Anesta's been running away from me. Every time I come to his boarding house he always hasn't come home. I wait until the deadline to be allowed to receive guests. He was never seen.


Dea said, Anesta out of town a few days, there is the task of recruiting employees for the Solo area.


But the other days he's never been able to see me. I know he must have moved from one store to another. And end his hours there.


So many of the company's food outlets are scattered in several malls, train stations and airports. I can't visit them one by one.


Anesta refused all my calls and none of my messages were ever returned. I was almost crazy to make it.


I went to his office, he wasn't there. Going to the field, said his friend. I can't possibly come looking for him every day to the office. Besides being embarrassed, I also have responsibilities with my work. Where are you, dear?.


Anesta, my heart feels lonely. It all feels wrong to me. In the past, you were my goal to reach my goal. That sounds childish. But that's how I feel. Your presence means so much in my life, Nes.

Every time my phone rings and I read his name on the screen. Immediately I turn off the phone or let it ring until I'm tired. I never returned the messages that were looking for me.


I know he came to the office, to the boarding house and even went to some booth to look for me.


I avoided him. I want her to get bored and leave without ever looking for my figure again.


I am also looking for a job in another city. The city has too many memories of him. I have to go, sooner or later.


I started to daydream often. Crying at night, remembering himself.


It turns out that everything wasn't as easy as I thought.


"I have to how De?" I said one time to Dea. Two days after that night, I told Dea everything.


"I can't lose him. Circumstances that forced me to take it off."


"I can't see my mother's tears even though I have to be broken"


"Run what's been your choice, Nes. It may take a long process. I'm sure you can"

"Ah, why drizzle tonight? Where I didn't bring an umbrella" I saw my watch already showing 9 o'clock past. The mall will be closed soon. I need to get home soon.


I had to see the preparation of the booth that would launch a new product. Not all stores sell new products that we make.


I stretched out my hand, raindrops drenched my skin. Just a little drizzle. I haven't played with rain in a long time. Let it go tonight, my body is a little wet.


Kuterobos drizzle, the streets are empty. Slender. People would rather stay indoors than on the streets enjoying the drizzle. The cold started to bite. I walked faster, just one more turn to the alley to my boarding house. I'll be there soon. Shower and then sleep, curled up in a warm blanket.


Once deflected I heard someone call my name "Anesta!"


I recognize his voice. He's the one I've always wanted to deny even in my dreams.


I stopped under a drizzle, I was too long to avoid. I turned my body and saw him standing in front of me.


"I'm waiting for you Anesta. Don't avoid me anymore"


I stared at his face among the wet rain.I cried.


My tears "Marry me Anesta. I want you to live with me"


Defense's collapsed. I-i know... I can't live without him. Between sobs, I nodded my head. "I want to marry you"


Kissing my forehead, there was a smile on his face. "I know Anesta, I'll have you again"


***


A year later


"You're pretty Anesta" smile decorate my face. I stared at the peach color kebaya attached to my body. I looked at my makeup, perfect. There's a string of jasmine in my arms.


I am a happy woman. Soon it will tie the sacred promise of marriage. Walk dialtar with him.


"Anesta, I take you to be my wife, to have each other and to keep from now on forever. In times of difficulty or pleasure. In times of abundance and lack, and in times of health and sickness. To always love and cherish each other until death do us part"


I shed tears. My days will no longer be the same. Whatever I face, there is someone who will always accompany me.


***


I saw my mother wipe away the tears in the corner of her eyes. My mother finally broke down with our struggle.


I still remember the outpouring of anger my mama had in my ears when I expressed our desire to get married.


I still remember when Mahesa came to ask for the blessing of my extended family. His broad heart accepted all the words that were a little painful. There was no heartache, he understood that my family loved me too much and wanted the best for me.


We struggled to convince my family that we were serious about this relationship.

Flashbacks


I waited for him at the corner of the street, between the drizzle that was soaking my body. He would not be able to avoid it anymore.


My resolve is that I have to meet him tonight. I hope this is a great start to our relationship.


I saw him in the distance walking with the rain. I wanted to run to meet him, clutching tightly to him.


A word that finally came out of my lips.


"Married to me Anesta. I want you to live with me"
