Binding, Binding Promise
Pie (86)

Debate in the household can happen, and as bad as the debate sometimes has to end with one word that is 'separation' anyone who is in the position of Yuna must be very scared with that one word. How else, everything has happened. And right now Yuna has prepared herself for the worst possibility in her relationship and Zain.

Prosecutor!

Zain slammed the door of Yuna's room, making the girl shocked then get up from her bed. The pretty face looked tangled, no happiness was visible. Which made Zain even sadder, Yuna's eyes seemed to slice through his heart. His female gaze explained, with her Yuna was never happy. Zain who was already burning in anger no longer ignored Yuna's sadness, he just thought all the problems must be solved today without having to delay tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

"I'm not done yet, we need to talk." Zain held onto both of his female arms, helping Yuna to stand up.

"Now tell me, who's the father of the child you bear?" Connect Zain again.

Zain's question was very short, but to Yuna, it sounded like a curse. Yuna, who was disappointed to choose to ignore Zain, wanted to leave but again Zain held him back by gripping his arms.

"I'm asking you, whose child are you carrying? Just so you know, I'm not gonna let go of that bastard." Zain shouts, destroying all trust and love that Yuna has for her.

"Enough Zain. Enough." Yuna spoke with the rest of the energy she had. He doesn't want to argue anymore.

"You forget everything, I can understand that. Now, I only have a little bit of faith left. Please, don't destroy what's still inside me." Yuna said with tears.

"I don't care, I just want the truth." Zain yelled again, and it made Yuna very surprised.

"What truth do you want? You want to know which brash guy spent the night with me? I don't have an answer if you don't believe me." Yuna shouted back at Zain. Instead of just shouting, Yuna also pushed Zain's chest with both hands, strong enough that Zain took a few steps back.

"What truth do you want? The truth about you not having HIV? Or do you want to hear the truth about how stupid I am?" Yuna wiped away her tears, she looked at Zain with overwhelming sadness.

"Haha!" Like an insane person, Zain chuckled, he clapped his hands celebrating how stupid he was for not realizing the secret he was hiding was being exposed at the wrong time.

"So, all this time you've been pretending to be nice to me? You pity me, Yuna Dinata? You know I have HIV, and like a fool I accept every sweet treatment you get.

I hate you for lying and not being straight in front of me. I hate you so much. I don't want to see your face." Zain shouted for the umpteenth time. After spewing out his anger, Zain exited from Yuna's room with anger that filled her entire pores. Leaving Yuna who was still sitting on the floor with a patter of tears that could not stop dripping.

Ten minutes had passed since Zain's departure, Yuna was still sitting on the floor rubbing her lamented belly. He was still crying, so sad he thought his world was over. With the remaining energy, Yuna moved out of her seat, reaching for the phone she had placed on the nightstand, write a short message to someone he can trust to help him wake up from his wound.

"Son, do you feel Umma's sadness? Forgive your Baba, dear." Yuna tried to hold back her tears from coming out, but still she failed. The crystal-clear water spilled back, Yuna's chest felt tight, she never imagined the day where Zain would doubt her coming too.

"I'm sorry Umma, son." Many times Yuna apologized, she turned off the lights, hoping that her heartache would disappear along with the darkness of the night.

It's not love if it's just silence like a desert, or exploring the world like the wind. Nor is love its name if it only looks at everything from a distance. Yuna muttered in her heart while trying to close her eyes.

"I came to this place only for you, Zain. If you don't want me anymore, how will I survive?"

Yuna, the girl dissolved in her long sadness, somehow she cried until she finally fell asleep and forgot her problem even for just a moment.
