   "Hans!" Sri shouted to Hans name, as the tall man stepped away from them.

   Instantly, Hans' footsteps stopped and he turned around with a bright face. Staring at the face of Ayu Sri whose heart was worried at that time.

    "Sorry, Hans. I can't be your lover. I realized that the feeling I used to have in my heart was long buried deep,"

   "Whoever Mr. Gio is, it doesn't matter to me. Most importantly when I'm alone, she's the one who's there and accompanies me,"

   "I'm sorry, Hans. I'm really sorry, "Sri commented a bitter smile. Deep down, she was crying.

   Yes, it is undeniable, it is at a crossroads. What an unpleasant choice. Breaking someone's heart is painful.

   Although he was aware, the longer it must be the more difficult for him to make a choice. And he thinks this is the best option of his life.

   How he felt so loved, loved, rejected, fought at the same time.

   It was not easy for him either. For years he chose to wait, but Hans did not come and just gave news. Is that what you call love? or is it just a feeling of liking to see Sri getting more beautiful?

   "Hmmh," Hans sighed and deeply and threw it away slowly. The white and big-nosed man walked up to Sri who was still dumbstruck beside Gio.

    "Alright, Sri. I also apologize for coming back into your life, and for worrying your heart,"

    "But what you should know. I love you too, Sri. I'm a fool for taking so long harboring this feeling from you,"

    "Hans .. I'm sorry, yes. Sorry," Sri's voice sounded soft, implying that her heart was also hurt.

    "Yes, what can I do, Sri. You're fine, same Gio," Hans patted Sri slowly on the shoulder.

    "Gi, I won't lose, but if one day you hurt Sri, I won't hesitate to snatch her out of your hand" Hans looked in Gio's eyes.

     "Yes, you don't have to be afraid. Sri is safe with me," replied Gio confidently.

     "Sri, I think it's time for me to leave, too. No, no more of my business here. May you be happy, Sri," Hans smiled bitterly and turned around, stepping quickly away from Sri who was staring at Hans' departure with a wounded heart.

    "I'm sorry, Hans," he said.

***

Hans Pov.

    I stepped up to leave the wooden house which although fairly old but still looks sturdy and unpretentious.

    In the old house I used to be with Sri, the sweet black girl that I had time to assess and fill the niche in my soul was joking and laughing together.

   "Huffft," my chest felt very tight and pain gnawed at my soul. How could I forget Sri? though that girl who makes me cheerful and always waiting for her presence at all times.

    The deeper I feel, the harder it is to stay away. However, a decision immediately shattered my dreams and hopes.

I arrived late and made his heart that was once for me now filled with other figures, besides myself.

   Inevitably I have to accept his decision even though it feels heavy and painful. Is this what you call a broken heart?

   "Assalamualaikum," I said as I entered the modest house just a few steps away from the Sri residence.

    Yeah, that's my Uncle and Aunt's house. I deliberately stayed here to just eliminate the sense of my kangen that is on the figure of my beautiful girl.

    "Guilipinam,"

   "Home home, are you, Hans? why is your face wrinkled like that?" aunty asked as she looked at my face that had turned cloudy .

    "Yes, Bi," I replied lethargic.

    "Oeah, Bi. I'm going home tomorrow, I'm going to buy a ticket today" I said. Aunt's face stiffened at once to hear my words.

   "Going home? he said in a week, why go home, Hans?"

   "Yes, Sri rejected me, Bi. There's no reason for me to linger here anymore" I said slowly. Honestly, every mention of the name of my heart Sri always drives faster. The charm is too strong to be very difficult away from the snare of his charm.

   Aunty looked at me softly, as if bitter in my heart. He was a witness to my love journey when I was a teenager until recently, an adult.

   Aunt is also the one who has always supported my relationship, besides Mom. But what to say. My hope was dashed and ran aground in the middle of the road before finally docking.

   I wiped the sweat that had soaked my face. Walking with heartache was indeed a waste of energy that was quite a lot for me.

   "You have to be patient, Hans. Aunty sure, someday there will be a better woman than Sri, and certainly can accept you as you are," Auntie tried to comfort me. I'm trying to put a smile on. Show him I'm okay.

    Though zonk, I am now in a slump. Falling into a deep abyss, a painful rejection. A sincere love that is thrown away.

    Sri, just by saying her name, my body was trembling, replying to her short message made me carefree. Waiting every second to hear from him with a troubled heart.

   I wish every second I could see his face. Admire him in silence. Quietly kepo and stalking all his sosmed accounts.

   Getting a message reply feels like winning the lottery, such a thing will certainly make yourself miss.

  Bucin, I'm a bucin that ended tragically. It ends with a rejection that is very painful.

***

  Derrt-derrt-derr!

  I repeatedly heard the sound of vibrations in the nightstand near my bed.

  It must be Sri. Yeah, from last night he was trying to reach me. I don't know what else he wants. Has he not rejected me?
