Dream Womb
Keysha News

A twist of fate, who could have expected it? I used to live with my cold husband in a pretty big house with all the fittings, but we never felt happiness in it.

Now that twist of the wheel of fate brought me down. Now I live in a small rented house in the cool, but soothing area of Bandung. If it can be compared, which is better?

I got a recommendation from the institution where I work to be able to teach in this Bandung branch.

"I can recommend you if you still want to work at this institution, Keysha."

Ms. Ratna's comrade-in-arms used to help by convincing Ms. Rosi. Of course I didn't reject it. The world of teaching is a world where I can be myself.

I feel happiness when I can transfer the knowledge I have to young students.

Until this moment I am not ceaselessly grateful for being reunited with good people.

The wind blew fiercely as dusk began to descend the hill. My residence is in the plantation area. With the air so cool, I can now breathe a sigh of relief. This place is really suitable to relax for a tired soul like me, as well as to escape momentarily from the urban hustle and bustle.

The comfortable environment, the workplace I dreamed of, made my spirit more and more mountainous.

Teaching is energy, fresh air is nutrition, and being met with good people is sustenance. So, what else is my reason for not being grateful for all this?

Sometimes when the fog began to fall on the slope of the plantation, suddenly my heart returned to be filled with pain, a longing that squeezed the chest. The tightness occasionally lingered inside here on my return I remembered the footage of the love journey I had left behind.

The wounds left by Mas Andre will never heal, while the fire of love that Haris once splashed, I don't know, maybe the fire was extinguished along with Haris' return to Diana. It's the best for them and I have to accept this reality.

I am a weak man who is learning to be a strong woman. Alone, far from anyone, suppresses the longing for the homeland, but I cannot suppress the longing for my friend Ayu. How is he doing now?

The dilemma was when I was eager to contact my best friend, but it was as if something was in the way. If I called Ayu, I could reconnect with the past, the past that I tried to leave and put off.

"Here, Neng, eat the grilled sticky rice first."

Juju's mother offered me a warm grilled sticky rice coupled with ginger wedang.

Juju's mother was a rented neighbor. He has a small shop in front of his house. As for food, I don't have to worry. All of these rented residents get good food from Bu Juju whose cuisine is famous for being delicious.

"Nuhun, Ms. Juju. Thank you, there should be no need to deliver. I'll come to Mom's shop later."

"Yes, Mom. I happen to have a teaching job here, and I don't have any children yet so yes this is how it is, staying alone" I replied with a faint smile.

"Okay, Neng Keysha is geulis pisan, if you have a brother still bujang mah, would be a mate mother ama Neng," continued Bu Juju.

"Mother is-there is. I am not thinking of having a partner anymore. Anyway, my life now to serve, to teach the little ones, it has also made me happy."

Yes, I didn't lie when I talked about my current version of happiness. However, far away here, in the corner of my heart, there was no denying, sometimes there was a pulse of pain as I recalled the past with Haris.

The night is rising. I couldn't help but contact Ayu. Finally, with a new number, I tried to reach him.

"Keysha is really you? Geez, I really miss you, Key! Where are you now? Why have you never told me? I'm worried about you."

It turns out that getting an enthusiastic welcome like this has warmed the heart.

"I am now in Bandung, still teaching at the same institution, but at the branch office. What are you doing now, Yu? Rara's healthy?"

"Yes, Key. Rara's healthy. I hope you are healthy too, yes. Glad to hear from you, and you can still teach. I was confused looking for you everywhere, Key."

"Thank you because you're still so considerate of me, Ayu. I have been thinking with you for a few days, so I am thinking now. Doain, yes, I'm fine."

"Sure, Keysha Dear. Oh yeah, some time ago Haris came here to see you." Ayu slightly lowered her tone.

Haris came to Ayu's house? Did I not hear wrong? I don't believe I heard Ayu's explanation. What else is Haris looking for me for? Now that man must have been happy with Diana.

"Well, if Haris comes back to see you and asks me, please answer you don't know, yes. In front of Haris, you have to pretend that I haven't contacted you. Please keep it a secret about talking to us this time huh, Yu."

"Whatever you ask, as long as it makes you comfortable, I'll do it, Key. If indeed you do not want Haris to know your news, I will definitely keep it a secret. Don't worry about it."

I feel like hugging Ayu, this heart feels calm to have the support of my best friend.

Tbc.
