It had already been three hours since Kinara came out of her house, but until now Kinara had not arrived in her village. The streets are very crowded, probably because of Sunday night so many young women who come out of the house. Luckily the car passed through town. If there are no obstacles, another two hours Kinara arrived at the destination.
Usually the distance from Kinara house to the village can be reached within three hours. However, because it was stuck in traffic and Mr. Budi brought the car at standard speed, they just came out of the city after three hours struggling with traffic jams.
“Mistress, do we need a break.” Mr. Budi started to worry. Kinara's face looked very pale, Kinara also often cried during the trip. Mr. Budi did not know for sure what happened with Kinara, nor did he want to ask too deeply. Fear made Kinara's heart even sadder.
“No need, Sir. Let's just continue the journey. I'm tired of everything, I want to get home soon.”
“Alright, Mistress.”
Tonight the sky felt very dark and lonely. Though Kinara's journey was accompanied by moonlight and stars. There was the sound of vehicles interlocking, but his heart felt empty. Kinara leaned her head while staring at the crowded streets.
A crystal thread flowed freely from the corner of her eye, while Kinara recalled her encounter with Agra this morning.
🍃 Flasback on 🍃
That morning at the Mahendra family hotel, when Kinara and Agra meet.
“Can, right?” This was the second time Agra asked. “Let's act selfishly, Kinara. Once we do not have to care about others, we also need to be happy.”
Kinara shook her head slowly. “I can't, Agra.”
“Why? Because Dika?” Agra guess.
Is it possible that Kinara's heart has already turned away? Does he have no meaning anymore? After these few weeks the two did not meet each other, could it be that Kinara's heart had already changed? Nah! Is the human heart that weak? Changed just because meeting times were not as frequent as they used to be.
There are many questions Agra cannot ask. He was still waiting for Kinara to answer his only question. Wh why? Why did Kinara choose to retreat? When the war drums are already being raided.
“Say, Kinara. Has your heart changed?”
Kinara. “No.”
My feelings for you haven't changed, Agra. However, we both seem to be unable to be together. Why is it that when our path is open, when it is closed? inner Kinara.
“Then why?”
“This decision I took has nothing to do with Dika.” Kinara took a breath before continuing her sentence. “I ... I don't want to hurt Allen.”
Agra smiled bitterly. “You mean you gave up just because of Allen?”
Kinara nodded.
Agra massaged his temple. “You gave up on our relationship that we've been fighting for so long? And that's just because of Allen? The woman who hurt you? Don't you remember how Allen behaved to you?”
“I don't want to remember. I've forgiven him. She's changed anyway, Agra. Actually Allen is not a bad woman, she is just lonely.”
Agra laughed a little. He closed his eyes, buried his face in the table and got up from the chair. So it continues until two minutes have passed.
Maybe Agra wanted to vent his anger, but could not because he did not want to hurt Kinara. He would rather bear it himself.
“She's a good woman. At first I did hate Allen for his childlike behavior, but after the last meeting. Trust me, she's a good woman.”
"Are you trying to persuade me now?"
Kinara was silent, biting her lower lip.
"After all the hardships we went through ended. You threw me in another woman's arms? I was wondering if you still have feelings? Until your heart gives me such a cruel decision!"
"I'm sorry, Agra." Kinara sobbed, she had no right to say any defense.
"I'm sorry? If only your reason for giving up was because you didn't love me anymore, I could still accept it with great airiness. But ...." Agra rubbed his face rough. The originally neat hairstyle turned messy, returning to its cute appearance. However, the look on his face was gloomier than the darkness of the night.
"So I still can't have you, Kinara? Are we not destined to be?" Agra said softly, he turned his face away. Wiping away the tears that began to drip.
Kinara looked deeper.
God ... how hard the trials you gave us, Inner Kinara.
“So my struggle has been in vain?”
Kinara was silent at the moment. Nibbling his lower lip with his hands clenched.
“Don't you feel sorry for me, Kinara? Will you always think about the fate of others? When did you think of yourself?” Agra stopped to take a breath. “Or at least think of me, look at me. How I fought for you.”
Kinara sobbed, she sobbed until her crying voice sounded. Perhaps it was because Kinata could not resist the turmoil in his heart. It was not an easy choice for him either. He was also tormented.
“This one time, Kinara. Let's strengthen our hearts, and move on without the need to look at others.”
“I can't, Agra. I'm sorry.” Kinara covered her face with a palm. He sobbed. His shoulders shook violently.
God, why does my love have to be like this? inner Kinara.
"Look at me, Kinara. Raise your head and look me in the eye."
Kinara tried to raise her head. Kinara's wet eyes collided with Agra's bead. There was sincerity from the look in her eyes, Agra's love for Kinara was as silent as the dew drops in the morning.
"You're not alone. There's me. We face it all together. There are times when we do not need to care about the circumstances around us, just close our eyes and ears. Then keep moving forward." Agra nodded slowly. Trying to convince Kinara that everything was fine.
Kinara barely nodded her head and received Agra's helping hand, until someone came up with a quivering voice.
Allen came with tears in his eyes, his face looking bad. Her lips were dry, her eye bags blackened, and the road was staggering.
"Allen." Grip Allen's body. "You why? What the hell happened to you?"
Allen was already sitting at the same table, sandwiched between Kinara and Agra.
Agra thrust a glass of mineral water at Allen. After his breathing improved, Allen immediately opened his mouth. "After this press conference, I'll be sent overseas."
Kining Kinara's forehead was wrinkled.
"My parents didn't want my family to be ashamed. They decided to send me abroad so that the news that would arise from failing to get engaged was not too wild."
Allen said it all, telling me how he's been doing all along. Allen repeatedly apologized to Kinara for all his attitude all along.
"No. I can't continue our engagement, Allen." Agra got up from his seat. Cut the unfinished sentence Allen said. "You know I don't love you."
"I know that. I know it very well. Maybe you hate me so much. You're disgusted to see me happy with this engagement. You're wrong Agra, you're wrong!"
Allen sobbing.
"I'm also unhappy with this forced engagement, but right now I really need your hand. Help me, only you can help me." Allen fused his palms together as he pleaded with tears in his eyes. "I don't want to go abroad, keep hiding all my life."
"What's the problem, Allen. There are many high-ranking state officials whose children fail to marry, or actresses. In the end, the news passed as time went on!" Agra took off his tie, unbuttoning some of his clothes. As with anything Allen pleaded, Agra still rejected him.
"I won't beg you and Kinara either, if the conditions aren't this complicated. Perhaps, the parents of another girl will still support and protect her child. However, not with my parents who just dumped me like throwing garbage." Allen semaikin.
Kinara tried to incline Allen, stroking the back of his hand. It seemed like it was in vain, as Allen's cries grew louder.
"Why were your parents so mean?!" Agra threw the tie in any direction. "Do they think a child is a tool that can be counted for his loss."
"Agra, have mercy on Allen." Kinara started to take a vote.
"You don't want to feel sorry for yourself? Or pity me?" Stare intently at Kinara.
"I ...," said Kinara disconnected.
"I'm sorry, I can't seem to help you, Allen."
Allen took a deep breath, throwing it away slowly. How many times Allen wiped his tears, the crystal still spilled.
Allen got up from his seat. Standing in front of Agra, Agra's tall body made Allen have to look up slightly when talking.
"alright. Let's cancel our engagement." Allen smiled, he tried his hardest to look tough. However, the tears that hatched answered everything. "Ah, I'm sorry." Wiping away her tears. "These few days my eyes can't be controlled." Hold your head and laugh.
This time Allen walked over to Kinara. Kinara woke up soon. Their height was level, so their two beads instantly clashed.
"Thank you, Kinara." Embracing Kinara.
"For what, Allen? I can't even help you."
Both sobbing. Since when are they that close? Is it because they can feel each other's pain?
Release hug. Allen stood in front of Agra. "It." Pouring a piece of paper. "That's my address overseas, when you were married." Allen sobbing. "Don't forget .. un. invite me. Come visit my place often, you can honeymoon there."
"Armrghhh ...!" Agra took off his suit and threw it on the floor as soon as he heard Allen's words. Allen's despairing facial expression could not be described.
"Nrank ...." Allen waved his hand.
Kinara sat down, unable to do anything more.
"Communicado me often, yeah. Maybe I'll be lonely there." Allen smiled at Agra as he waved his hand.
Allen's shadow as a child suddenly flashed in his head. The jolly girl who was strong-assed by showing thorns all over her body had grown up.
"Allen." Clasping Allen's hand. "Come ... Let's get engaged!"
"A .. What do you mean?"
"Cinara? This is what you want, right?" Agra looked at Kinara.
Kinara nodded slowly. His chest was pounding. What about his heart? His heart was clearly in pain. But this was the end he wanted.
Kinara stared fixedly at Agra's face, her tears spilling. You are another destiny that God prepared for me. Why are we always at the wrong time? Goodbye, may you always be blessed by God. Goodby.
Seriate...

Sometimes I get confused as impatient with this storyline. Though this story has been packaged so nicely, because I as the author want to open the eyes of the reader about the nature of a mate. And how the Almighty God Reverses the Heart is at work in the story of Agra Kinara and Dika.
