...

The distance between the public transport stop and my house is only a ten-minute walk into the complex. Now I was walking alone despite several times the car and motor drove past me.

I love times like this, walking alone so I can think a lot about anything. Or when bathing, people will think more deeply when they are alone.

TIINNNN…

I gasped in shock as the light of the car light behind me suddenly quickly passed me, I immediately stopped stepping when a silver car was already beside me very close.

Did I almost get hit by a car?! Gezz..

“WOYY!! IF THE ROAD IS CLEAR DONG! INTENTIONALLY GOING TO CRASH?!”

Again, I was shocked to hear a sound coming from the car. The windshield of the front car had opened and featured a man in black glasses in front of the bustle with a sexy girl beside him.

“HEY!! AREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO WANTS TO DRAG?”

“WHAT? Ohh you're asking for damages?” The man smiled disdainfully, being too lazy to respond, I just rolled my eyes annoyed and walked back through his car.

Crazy guy, night-night wear sunglasses. Blind indeed.

While stomping my legs annoyed and reflex I hold the elbow of the right hand, feeling if I had moved an inch just maybe this hand was swollen because it was stuck.

“This is the money you want!” This crazy man was already in front of me while showing me the money sheet. Then he grabbed my hand and kept it in the palm of his hand. Hey what's with this guy?!

“Don't sue me tomorrow with a broken bone. I already paid you!” I can smell the alcohol from his body.. Ck, really.

Lazy to argue, I threw away the money just like that and stepped on it as I walked to ignore it.

“YAKK!! BASIC ARROGANT WOMAN!!”

I felt the grip of his hand on my right wrist quite hard. Want to release it but suddenly the grip was slit by itself like something was pulling from behind, then followed by a loud thud.

I reflexively turned around wanting to see what had happened to that crazy man, but my gaze was blocked by the body of a man who was already standing firmly before me very close. This tall man wore his brown leather jacket and hat.

Because vaguely, I don't know who this man is. The man who was looking at me looked like a little smile.

“Sorry you—“

“Take him away from here! Give him a little punishment then leave it to the police.”

“Good, Sir!”

I gasped in shock, recognizing the voice of this man. The man who ordered two other men who were holding the driver in a firm voice.

My reflexes stepped back, wanting to avoid it. Oh not now I want to cry because I miss this guy also don't want to see him.

My heart was beating fast and the air around it seemed to have disappeared.

“Missing me?”

He's Bayu, the man I decided five years ago before my move to town X. The same man who still fills my heart. The man I miss so much.

“Way you—back?”

“It wasn't me who should have said you were back?”

The type of voice sounded deeper and deeper than I last remembered, his body was taller and muscular then his jaw seemed firm despite being vaguely visible in the darkness of the night. I'm not sure if this guy is Bayu.

She looks more—adult.

I didn't know what was going on, it was just that I unconsciously kept staring at her face.

I don't know what I'm looking for, I'm just so immersed in his gaze. Slowly I saw Bayu smiling wider and it managed to rub off on me.

I smiled at him, we chuckled softly. Don't know what's funny, though,

My heart is beating fast, I'm sweating cold. Like I fell in love at first sight.

Nah! Nay! I can't fall in love with her anymore. I can't miss him anymore. I can't-I can't

The light of a black Jeep car light driven by two friends of Bayu drove past us followed by the sound of a horn that was deliberately intended to say goodbye to this man.

For a moment I could clearly see Bayu's face due to the light of the car lights, he so—look like—Bayu, of course!! I can only feel his charisma. Is this because he has experienced being a soldier for seven years?

Suddenly I was shocked and staggered back as the woman with the black glasses stood between me and Bayu. More precisely he almost pushed me to the back so upset at Bayu.

Everything just collapsed, I immediately realized what I had just done. Stare at each other No!!

“I'll turn him over to the police because he was driving while drunk and almost harmed someone.” His calm voice answered this woman.

I let out a pissed breath. Not wanting to deal with them, I finally turned around and continued on my way.

I have to be cold. There's nothing more I have to talk to Bayu about.

We've broken up. This is best for both of us.

“So, how does it feel to unilaterally break the relationship without waiting for a reply from the relevant party? Do you feel free and calm?”

I turned to find Bayu had walked quietly to my right. Out of curiosity, I glanced back to see what Bayu did to the woman.

“What did you do to him? Why is he like that?” the woman looked silently gawking at her place, even as she was about to walk to her car she was like staggered.

“You hit him?!” I screamed stifled.

“Of course not! Stop diverting the conversation. Is this your welcome with my arrival? So you're tired of playing hide-and-seek with me?”

“What? Who plays hide and seek?”

“So you want to play marbles?!”

“Haishh.. Stop joking! Just be right!” I snorted between being annoyed and enjoying his jokes.

The irritating nature has not changed. A funny man who always makes me angry, annoyed, and angry every time he meets her. He's always looking for me. If necessary, he would have possessed me so that I could chase after him and we ran after each other as he laughed out loud enjoying my frustration with him.

Very childish.

“Jadi—“

“We have broken up. So just accept.” I stopped my steps and turned to face him.

My house is already in front, I do not want to bring Bayu into the house. Don't want to be the subject of complex people gossip.

“Why should I accept it? I don't know why you decided on me? Whahuh? Didn't you promise to wait for me, to be a good boyfriend. Is it because we rarely meet after I enter the military training camp?”

No. gabe. Of course not. I'm so proud of him, he loves physical activity. It's just that I don't want to get involved with my problems.

For some reason, seeing his seriously injured expression like this made my throat hurt. My heart beats faster.

I know, I still love him so much. Hugely.

“Hmm.. I'm tired of waiting. I don't want to have a boyfriend who was never there for me. Who won't be able to come with me at a friend's wedding invitation. Which was not there when I missed him so much. Which is not there when I want to meet him. Which is not there when I want to be picked up. Which wasn't there when I was on my birthday. Which is not there when I'm upset, sad or happy.”

I don't know what Bayu was thinking, only this time his eyes were so cold and indecipherable. There were no angry emotions there. Just a straight look staring straight at my eyes.

I turned my face away, not wanting to face him because now my throat really hurts.

Gezz.. I want to cry.

“Already night. Go home.” I said in a softer tone. Without waiting for his answer, I immediately turned around to walk quickly towards the gate of the house.

Before closing the gate, I glanced at him. Bayu was still standing in the same place, pecking there. I know he's thinking.

No, I immediately cried seeing him. My heart hurts so much to see it.

I've missed him. I wanted to return the joke. I want to say if I lied tell everything. I want to see the look of his ignorant eyes. I—

Take a breath, then exhale it. I was trying to control my breathing which started to get congested as I tried to open the door of the house.

Even my hands shook when I wanted to enter the door lock. I clucked in annoyance at not succeeding with such a trivial thing. The key falls.

Damnit.

My chest feels very painful. I can't hold it anymore. I wept.

Finally my tears fell very hard through my cheeks, my throat hurt, my eyes were hot and my eyes were blurry.

In front of the door of the house that had not opened for me, I cried silently and tried to reach for the key that had fallen.

Our silence is the best conversation ever, greeting each other in silence and asking the news without a word.
