Behind The Lies
Not to Break Up

The motor stops in front of a house. The motorist looked cold. Riding a motorcycle in the dry season in a wet state is a bad thing. It even made Iyash catch a cold. Especially now that it's nine.

“Yash, from where, why wet?” ask the mother as soon as Iyash goes into the house while saying hello.

“There are people who fell into the pool.”

“Pity, female male?”

“Female.”

“Aren't you out of Adisty's house?”

“Iya, Ma.”

“Who fell?”

Instead of answering, Iyash stared at his mother for a long time.

“Yash?”

“Iyash change first, Ma. Cold.” The young man then went to the room to clean himself and change his clothes. After that he contacted Martin while sleeping in a thick blanket.

[Where? It's settled?]

[Udah. We broke up when Space almost killed Adisty.] Martin replied via a short message.

Iyash took a breath. She mused, did Angkasa really love Ashilla to the point that she almost lost her mind and was about to kill her own best friend? Iyash asked in his heart.

[How important? Why not separate?]

[Udah is the same girl, whereas Adisty who made Ashilla fall. Great, the Angkasa dapet girl like that where to try? I hope the girl is conscious.]

Again Iyash was pensive, he did not immediately reply to Martin's message. He thought about all of that. Ashilla seemed to dislike being present at the event, did she also think that Iyash was just like them?

Meanwhile, the car driven by Angkasa stopped in front of Ganjar's house. Ashilla was about to go down, but Angkasa locked the car door, the woman turned her head and looked at her.

“I think you're too serious about what happened. Just a game, Shill. Game.”

“Game?” Both of Ashilla's eyes were puffed up. “You think I like that kind of game, open up people's disgrace, tease each other, insult each other, insinuate each other. You invited me to heat up your ex, ‘kan? Be affectionate only for people to see,” pussy Ashilla. “I'm disappointed and I want our relationship to be quite up here.”

“Sorry that I let you down, but I have no intention to heat up anyone.” Space gives pause. “Mantan? I don't have an ex.”

“Oh, maybe you mean an affair?”

“No, I never cheated on you.”

“Or don't I make you an affair?”

“Honey, you're the only one.” Space grabbed Ashilla's hand. “Nothing else. If you are my affair, I cannot know you to them.”

Ashilla sighed.

“Life should not be taken too seriously. There are many jokes in life that you can laugh at.”

“Including people's difficulties? Aib person?”

“Darling, please, you don't have to trust Sarah, Martin, Iyash, Adisty, Lisa, Kevin and everything there. This is jokes,” Bright Space.

“And I don't need to trust you?”

Both eyes of Space.

“That's why you didn't help me right away because you thought I was joking?”

“No, if that's you misunderstand.” Space grabbed Ashilla's hand. “You know I panicked and was confused when I saw you fall.”

“Open the door,” pinta Ashilla is upset.

“Darling, I don't want to break up. What do I have to do to let you pull all your words?”

“Open the door!”

“Ngak. You have to listen to me first, Shill.”

“Please, Dear, please,” please Space. It seemed that he had been confused to persuade Ashilla. “I don't want to break up. Say, is it because of tonight's incident, or because you've been uncomfortable, or maybe for a year, you've been lying to your own feelings?”

Ashilla stared for a few seconds at the man. Maybe he is selfish and too quick to make a decision, he still loves Space, but tonight's events and everything he's heard about Sarah put him in doubt about the relationship he's been in for a year.

Space unlocks the car door and lets Ashilla go. Ashilla quickly opened the door, but before she turned her head.

“I need time to think things through.”

Space nodded. “I love you and I love you. You know forever it will be like that.”

After hearing the words of Space, Ashilla went down and entered the house.

“Where are you from?” Suddenly Ashilla heard her grandfather's voice that had been waiting for her in the living room.

“Join Angkasa.”

“Till this night?”

Ashilla did not answer. While Ganjar slowly approached. “And this why is it wet?” tanyanya holding the shoulder of the grandson.

“In the pool,” replied Ashilla honestly.

“Hah? How can?”

Ashilla gulped down the throat that felt dry.

“Whose home are you with?”

“Sama Space.”

“Where is the person?” I walked to the front door and opened it. The Space Car just sped away. Ganjar sighed and came back to close the door, then looked back, however, Ashilla had already entered the room to clean herself and changed her clothes.

After the bathroom, Ashilla was wearing black silk pajamas. He then dried his hair in front of the mirror. Suddenly the shadow of Iyash came, his sturdy body that was soaked after helping him continued to be imagined. His quarrel with Angkasa is also still ringing. What is clear is that the incident continues to swirl in the head.

Ashilla opened her bag filled with water. His cell phone, powder, perfume, tissue, earphones and all the contents of his wallet were wet. He dried everything using a hairdryer, hoping that his phone could still be alive, even though it had been submerged for quite a while. He dismantled the phone, took out the battery, his SIM card and his memory card. However, as if it could not be saved, the damage might be severe.

Ashilla let the contents of her bag scattered on the table, she chose to lay her body on the mattress and sleep.

A pair of legs ran small, then went into the water and soaked his tiny calf. The sound of laughter mingles with the beautiful sound of nature. The children looked cheerfully interspersed with singing. Suddenly the water overflowed soaking half their bodies. The little girl screamed in the water, while the others had already gone ashore.

“Aahhhhh,” screams continue to echo and feel terrible.

Ashilla awoke with gasping breaths and sweat that flooded her entire body. She had just had a dream of a little girl who was dragged down by a river. Is that her? Suddenly the question just popped into his mind.

Suddenly a knock on the door leaves him gasp. He quickly sat down and stared at the clock on the wall that was already showing at eight in the morning. After dawn he met Ganjar and said that he would go back to sleep because he was not feeling well, he also contacted Novia if he did not come in today.

Slowly the door opened and Ganjar stood on the doorstep. “You did not forget, ‘kan if today there is compensation?”

Ashilla's forehead frowned. “Chant? Once a week?”

“Iya. Especially there again there is development, at least bring food for the workers.”

Ashilla sighed. “Begging Mr. Yayan aja deh, Shilla ‘kan already said, if Shilla tired, not feeling well, get in the wind like,” said the woman while pulling back the blanket.

“There should be a representative, Pak Yayan time only?”

“Then Opa aja,” said Ashilla in the blanket.

“In front there is Space, you can ask between him.”

Ashilla's eyes faded. “Ngapain?”

Ganjar put his shoulder. “Yes where Opa knows. You guys got a problem?”

Ashilla did not reply, she moved in agitation.

“If it is, you better finish it. Never avoid problems because if avoided the problem will remain and may even be bigger than before.”
