First Love
Chapters. 26

"Maybe you're in love with her?"

Yudha's question made me swallow the salivary a little. Not knowing what to say, right now my lips feel so weak.

"Terry." Yudha took my fingers which I had placed on my feet.

"I don't want to lose you again, Terry" Yudha said, looking at me.

"Terry, come back to me. I'll never leave you again, I promise."

I looked at the face of Yudha who was currently looking at me expectantly. Why at times like this I am not at all happy to hear Yudha's statement.

Didn't I wish that Yudha would come back to me. Decorating the beautiful story of my future, Yudha has always been a person in my imagination.

But at this moment, why is my heart not at all happy. I am not at all happy, even now I hope the person who stated that sentence is Mr. Gilang.

Oh come on, Terry, what's wrong with you? don't expect someone who doesn't necessarily put their heart on you.

"Yudha, I ... I." I breathe heavily. "Give me time, I'll answer when I'm ready."

"Ready? ready what? you and I know each other, Terry, and even today we're still in love."

"It's not as easy as you've imagined Yudha" I said a little annoyed.

"Is it because of that guy yesterday? so you're really in love with her?"

I looked at the face of Yudha who was currently sitting next to me. In one long chair located next to Mother's shop.

"So it's because of that guy, right?" yudha said a little hardened.

"Terry, give me a chance. I'm gonna fix everything I've ever broken."

"I said I needed time, Yudha."

"Terry, I really want our relationship to be back to how it used to be."

"I know Yudha, but I said I needed time?"

"Time for what? to convince your heart of who that man is? if that man doesn't exist, will you still reject me?"

"This has nothing to do with Mr. Gilang, Yudha" I said.

"So his name is Gilang? so it's Gilang now? not Yudha?"

"Yudha is enough" I said fiercely.

"Don't like to get other people into this. You traumatized me from the wound, Yudha. Right now I need time, not to believe who Mr. Gilang is and who you are!"

I breathed a little hunting, because of the anger I was trying to drown. Yudha, it was really smart to make my expression come out.

"I need time, to re-assemble the debris of a heart that was once destroyed because of you" I said again softened.

Yudha immediately threw her eyes at me. Like there was a look of sadness and disappointment reflected in his sharp eyes.

I tried to let go of my smile, I grabbed Yudha's shoulder and hugged her tightly.

"Right now I'm really hurting Yudha. The pain I felt sometimes was still bleeding. I'm too weak to swallow the wound again." I said softly.

I felt Yudha's hand begin to return my embrace. He buried his face on my shoulder.

"I'm sorry, Kirei. I never knew if that day changed a lot about you" he said softly.

"It's not just you, Yudha. But Mother's farewell also made a hole in my heart. Therefore, give me a little time."

I let out Yudha's embrace and grabbed her cheek with one hand. I have a sweet smile on my face.

Yudha took my palm that touched her cheek. Kiss my palm gently.

"I'm sorry for forcing you too much, the fear of losing you back makes me this way."

"Yudha, what has been engraved in our past will never disappear. Forever, you will remain in the corner of my little heart."

"I'll wait whenever you answer, Kirei."

"Thank you." I'll smile.

"You want a way?"

I just shakes crazily. Don't want to go anywhere, I want to learn flower arranging so I can help Mother.

After a long chat, Yudha bade to leave. Back to the printing house where he worked.

I'm back busy on the flowers that are on top of this display. I have the lyrics of the watch on my right hand. It's early afternoon, I have to go back to prepare dinner for Dad.

I asked permission to return to Dad's house.

I kissed Mother's cheeks before parting, I breathed my breath when I came out of Mother's shop.

I walk the sidewalk, enjoying the afternoon atmosphere. I'd better just walk.

I put my ass in the front garden of a luxury housing complex near Dad's house.

I noticed some families who were playing, bringing their children to enjoy the afternoon with the family.

That glance made my memory go back ten years. When my life was happy and okay.

If time could stop there, I just wanted to live in those days.

When I don't understand anything about love and hurt. When I only know what it is to laugh and also be happy.

Dad, I asked when I was growing up, I wanted to marry a guy like Dad. I think Dad is a great guy, Dad always carves beautiful happy for us.

But why is it that right now, Dad is one of the men I want to avoid?

Dad, I still love you so much, but Dad's mistake that made Mommy hurt, made me hate you.

Bugh.

A six-year-old boy fell right in front of me.

The boy started crying when he saw the wound on his neck.

I walked up to the boy and crouched down in front of him.

"Are you okay, Dek?" ask me while defining it.

"My knee hurts, brother." said the boy, crying his heart out.

"Don't cry, Brother will help treat your wounds." I carried the boy to the chair where I was sitting.

I doused the little boy's wound and blew it gently. The boy narrowed his eyes slightly as I splashed the water.

I rubbed his cheeks, furious.

"Whose name are you?"

"Yusuf, Brother."

"Where are your parents, Joseph?"

"I don't know, brother?" said the boy came back crying.

I hugged the little boy's head, I rubbed his head to calm his feelings.

"What's up, Terry? why did you hurt this little guy?"

I climbed up next to my eyebrows when I heard the words of the grown man who suddenly nongoled out of nowhere.

"What are you doing with this boy, Terry?" back he asked.

I grinned my smile and shook my head.

"It wasn't me who made him cry, sir. He got lost and fell in front of me."

"Oh ... I think you are rejecting the statement of love from this handsome man." said Mr. Gilang while kneeling before us.

Check the wound on the boy's skull, then stroke the man's head. While I only returned smiling when I heard Mr. Gilang's words.

"Why did you get lost, Dek?" ask Mr. Gilang while putting his ass next to mine.

"Don't know, Om."

"Where is your house?!l"

The boy just shook his head as he rubbed his eyes which continued to spit out water.

"Yes, Om help find ya." said Mr. Gilang back to his feet.

Mr. Gilang grasped the little fingers of the man. But the boy did not want to get up from his seat.

"My feet hurt a lot, Om." said the little man spoiled.

I just smiled and saw the face of Mr. Gilang adorned with sweat on the temples of his eyes.

Her Chinese face looked very sweet when smiling.

"Well, if that's it come on, it's a sling."

Mr. Gilang crouched right in front of me. I hit Gilang's shoulder hard. Mr. Gilang turned his face and shifted his position a few steps aside.

"Sorry, Terry. I think you also ask me to carry." said Mr. Gilang who again carved a smile on my face.

"Let's Terry." take Mr. Gilang while carrying Yusuf on his shoulder.

"Where?" many confused.

"Find the parents of this child."

"You are the one who wants to help."

"You must come, I will not be mistaken for another child kidnapper."

"Why should I?"

"You're the one who found this child, just now."

"All right." I said give up.

We walked through the front garden of the complex together. I walked side by side with Mr. Gilang. While it did not take long, Joseph was asleep on the shoulders of Mr. Gilang.

"Terry, is this kid sleeping?"

"Yes,"

"Oh, how is this? it's hard to find parents if this kid's sleeping?"

I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders. It was funny to see Mr. Gilang's slightly confused expression.

A shoulder hit my shoulder from behind.

I squinted a little and shifted a little forward. Mr. Gilang caught my body that almost fell towards me.

As fast as lightning I returned to my position and lowered my gaze.

I felt a finger, grabbed my hand.

With my fingers soft, I threw my eyes at Mr. Gilang who was beside me. Mr. Gilang just stared straight ahead, his facial expression like he did nothing.

I bowed my gaze, smiling again as I felt the tremors coming back from within my chest.
