Before Divorce
Chapter 16 - Confession

Shiena walked around looking for a passing taxi. It felt like his mood today ended up chaotic and did not want to quickly go home.

"Jealous? Is it good that he said I was jealous?"

Shiena was still fumbling and cursing at Willy. The more his lips swore, the more his heart wondered what he really felt for Willy.

Is it love?

Of course they used to love each other very much. But for now it feels so hard.

Shiena stopped the taxi and decided to go somewhere that could calm her heart. Shiena was silent during the trip. His heart said he wanted to start all over. But there are shadows of the future that stand in his way.

Meanwhile, Willy is driving to his boarding house. Willy stopped by a food stall to buy dinner for himself.

His phone vibrated as Willy was about to get back on the bike. Shandy's name is on the screen.

"Hello, Shan. What's up?"

"Hello, Will. Can I ask you a favor?"

"Solicit what please?"

"Shiena hasn't come home yet. I asked Friska with Anila she said Shiena was not the same as them. I'm confused where else to go."

Willy thought for a moment.

(Is it possible that Shiena is still angry?)

"okay, Shan. I'll help you. I'll tell you when I meet Shiena."

"Thanks yes, Will."

Phone calls are disconnected.

"Where else is the child?" muttered Willy.

Suddenly Willy remembered a place he believed Shiena had come to. Willy immediately gas headed to that place.

...***...

Shiena stared at the beautiful night sky from the top of the hill. This hill is called the starry hill. Maybe because from up here the stars are so clearly visible.

Shiena sat up while looking up at the sky. Even Shiena did not realize that someone else had come to her.

"I know you must be here..."

The sound of someone made Shiena stand up and turn her head.

"You...?"

Willy smiled greeting Shiena.

"I can't believe you remember this place."

Shiena turned her face. "Where do you know I'm here?" Shiena was still talking to Willy.

"She... You still aren't aware either? Why not just admit it?"

Shiena is still a gamang. He bit his lower lip because he felt it.

Willy drew closer until they faced each other.

"I know you're jealous when I'm close to Friska. Why not admit it? You even remember this place. This place is my secret place when my heart is broken. That means you remember all our memories."

Shiena took a peek into Willy's black bead. A look filled with great hope. But the fear still lingers.

"Who said I remember this place? All of this is just a coincidence. Don't be so confident!"

Shiena walks away from Willy. However, Willy pulled Shiena's hand and turned his body to hit Willy's field chest.

"Aw! What are you doing..."

Shiena had no time to continue her sentence, Willy had already silenced Shiena's lips. One hand pulled Shiena's waist, and another held Shiena's nape.

Shiena's eyes faded as again they were in physical contact and quite intimate. Shiena began to lull. Shiena closed her eyes feeling the gentle pagutan that Willy was doing.

The twinkling star bears witness if two opposing hearts are in fact still interlocked and reluctant to let go of each other.

"Thank you, She. Please don't avoid it again. How far you try to go, then I will keep chasing you. So, don't ever leave me again."

Shiena did not answer. He knew his heart was still tied to Willy. Although trying to brush off all those flavors, it still feels back in its own way.

...***...

Shiena stayed home all day. Luckily today was the weekend. Usually Shiena just relax during the weekend.

"Shie, you tumben at home. Not going where?" tanya Wulan approached Shiena by the pool.

"Hmm, again lazy, Bun. Want it at home. Bang Shandy where's Bun?"

"Bring you to the office. He says he's got an unfinished job."

Shiena nodded in understanding. "Yes..."

"What's wrong?" Wulan sat down next to Shiena.

"Did you ever fight with your dad?"

Shiena never asked her parents this question. Although it was just a casual question, it had millions of meanings for Shiena at the moment.

"Two different people who are united in marriage bonds, must have experienced the name of incompatibility. My mom and dad have experienced it. The little quarrel was actually used as a lesson for us to both want to improve."

"No one is perfect in this world. There is no perfect relationship in this world. All have their respective portions that we must take care of and measure."

Shiena. The little pebble that Wulan said, was currently keeping Shiena and Willy far apart and out of step.

"Thank you, Bun for the answer. I'll learn more about this..."

Shiena moved from her sitting position. Shiena headed for the room and took the phone.

Shiena sent a message to Willy. It was time to tell him what he really felt. Although reality is not as beautiful as imagined.

On the other hand, Willy who was enjoying his vacation by washing the motor was surprised by Shiena's message asking him to meet. His heart rumbled happily. He believes that his relationship and Shiena will soon improve. Especially last night Shiena seemed to give a chance to Willy.

And here they are now. Sitting face to face in a cafe. The smile was unceasingly shown by Willy.

"She, I'm glad you gave me a chance to mend our relationship. Thank you, She..." Willy opened the chat that night.

"Yes..." Shiena's voice sounded choked.

"Are there any guarantees ... if we get back together ... will we not get divorced?"

"Although we know ten years to come you once divorced me. I can't do it anymore, Mom... I don't want to feel any more heartache."

Willy fell silent. He could only lower his face. Apparently Shiena was still overshadowed by the fear of future events.

"I'm sorry..."

Willy sighed for a moment. What Shiena was questioning certainly could not be answered with certainty.

"All right..." Willy started to raise his voice.

"If you are still afraid of our relationship, then... What if we just be friends first?"

Shiena frowned. "Friends?"

"really. Maybe we started less well, so we ended up like this. Just suing each other, not wanting to listen to the wishes of the people who live with us."

Shiena still did not reply.

"If you still object, I..."

"All right, I'm ready."

"Eh?! You're serious, She?"

"Hmm, I'm serious. We'll be friends first." Shiena reached out to Willy.

Willy was happy to welcome her. They shake hands and throw smiles at each other.

It seems like this is better than having to be together as a couple, but only hurting each other.
