EX (SHACKLE OF FIRST LOVE)
58. Stop trying

Yara was certainly very surprised to see Sky who was not far opposite. Within minutes, the man had crossed the street and stood straight in front of Yara-even before Yara could even think this was real or just her delusion.

"Ayara, where are you going?"

That was the first sentence that Sky asked Yara who was still stunned by this.

Why is this man always present suddenly and unexpectedly? Is there a radar on Yara's body that can be easily tracked by a Sky Lazuardi?

"S-Sky.." said Yara chokingly.

"Why is it here, hmm?"

Highlight his eyes were shady, accompanied by a very soft voice. There was a worry that emanated clearly from his gaze, instantly a feeling of guilt hit Yara.

Yara was still stunned with a face that must have been very silly. He looks like a bo doh guy now.

"Your number I can't call..." Once this, Sky's voice glimpsed making Yara aware of the circumstances.

"Sky, I'll clear everything up, yeah. Sorry, I have to go in, I work here later so it's not good," Yara said no less gently to give the man understanding.

"Okay, I'll wait until your working hours are over."

Yara shakes. I don't know what to say to Sky. He doesn't know yet. Especially considering Anton's last remark that said it would not support his relationship with the man who became the third person in his household with Juna.

"Why? You don't want to talk to me?"

"Udah I said I work here, I live here now.." lied Yara.

"What time do you work?"

Once again Yara shook her head. His encounter with Sky today made him very go awry. He calmed down without answering many questions. What can?

Sky took a deep breath. As if understanding the wishes of the woman before him, he again opened his voice.

"Okay, I'll wait for you. If necessary I'll come here every day until you want to talk to me."

Yara looked at Sky in disbelief. Why should this man waste his time on a woman like her? If Sky finds out, his efforts won't make Anton's decision change, how?

There was no point in Sky trying, even before it all started again, the wall was already stretched wide between them, so Yara was reluctant to give any further hope.

"Last we met, you don't gini, you even sent me a message to say goodbye to Mas Anton's house. What exactly are you? If you don't tell me, I won't know, Ayara ...."

"I-i-i ..." Yara was actually hard to say this, but she had to. "I want you to stop trying for me. I also don't want to give you more hope. From now on, we live each of our lives. We both can, because we've been through a day without together since 11 years ago."

Sky was flabbergasted by the series of sentences that Yara had told him. Did he just hear wrong? Is Yara having a fever to the point of delirium?

Yara took a deep breath. He did not dare to look at Sky anymore. "Everything is enough here, Sky. There is no hope for us to be together again. Especially to a more serious level," added Yara made Sky increasingly silent frozen in place.

In fact, until Yara turned around and entered the house she said was her workplace - Sky was still silent with a sudden dead-end thought from digesting Yara's words beyond her prediction.

"Sky.. are you okay?" (Sky... are you okay?)

Sky turned his head and suddenly found Michelle next to him. The woman did catch up with Sky after feeling that Sky had not returned to Abel's birthday party.

"What are you doing here?" (What are you doing here?")

Sky looked at Michelle flatly. "It's okay, all is well. Let's go back," he said, massaging his head.

Finally, Sky returns to Abel's birthday party. But, he did not enjoy the series of events at all.

"O-om Cekai?"

Sky looked at Abel who was standing by his side. The little boy was already good at talking and very active even though he was only 2 years old.

"Abel?" Sky took Abel into his lap.

"Yuk, yuk, right ue yuk!"

"Ue uyang taun beyom." said Abel again with his innocence.

Finally, Sky agreed to Abel's invitation to taste his birthday cake.

Sky wanted to cut the cake a little, but it was stopped by Michelle.

"Wait, let me cut it for you" he said.

Sky moved a little, making room for Michelle to take over to cut the cake.

When Michele wanted to hand the plate to Sky, Abel apparently rambled with his vague speech aka lisp.

"Capoo capin o'om Cekai ..." she asked Michelle while jumping up and down.

Sky immediately frowned, but Abel's innocent request could not be ignored.

"Anti.. cuapin, yuk!" said Abel again who was now with a pleading look at Michelle. (Anti \= Aunty)

Michelle smiled faintly, looking into her eyes as if asking Sky's willingness for this.

Sky just think ordinary, maybe Abel wants to repeat the moment of cake bribes like he had done with Jenifer and Beno. Finally, Sky nodded faintly at Michelle, letting the girl feed her Abel's birthday cake.

"Yeah...." Abel cheered happily.

The incident was also immortalized by Beno's camera which also witnessed it.

"I thought they would fit in" Jennifer told her husband.

Beno laughed softly. "Yes, but baby... Sekai already has a woman who is his own choice," he said.

"Are you seriously?"

Jennifer feels she has never seen Sky with any woman, so she intends to bring her cousin Michelle closer to her husband's best friend, Sky.

"Yes, we can't force her to be close to Michelle. Unless he really wants that to happen" Beno said.

Jennifer's slipping shoulders. "Yes, it's up to them. But I'm catching on clearly if Michelle's interested in Sky" he said.

"We don't have to interfere, Honey .... They're adults, right?" said Beno.

Jennifer nodded her head. It was up to Sky and Michelle, he only had the intention and not to force both.

While on the other hand, Yara had to hold back her feelings deeply. He was forced to throw the painful sentence at Sky because he did not want the man to get hurt more later.

From the beginning, Yara knew and realized that Sky deserved a better woman than her.

Why would he have such high hopes of being with Sky one day? Even a fingernail of nature seemed not to approve of their togetherness even though Yara realized that no matter how far she hid, the universe too often reunited them.

Yara sat next to the sideboard closet at Nadine's residence, hugging her own knee and unable to prevent her tears from falling.

Yara felt hurt by her own words, let alone Sky who had heard that remark earlier?

For sure now Sky was thinking about what was wrong with him, so suddenly he asked Sky to end all this before it even really started.

"I'm sorry, Sky.I'm sorry, I just don't want you to be more hurt if later you know Anton refused our relationship. I also don't want to feel the same rejection from your Mama."

After all, Yara had to think realistically. The rejection will certainly also be accepted if he is determined to stay with Sky.

"I'm afraid, I'm not as determined as you are, Sky. But I'm also not ready if I really have to let you go. What do I do, Sky?"

Seriate....
