         HUSBAND OF ANOTHER NATURE

#part_107

#by: R.D.Lestari.

    I've been trying to contact Hans since last night, but it seems that guy has been really hurt by my rejection. Thats okay. I know this is the risk of a choice I made.

     I reached for the backpack I put on the nightstand. Walking quickly without heeding the voice of Grandma who called when I saw me in a hurry.

   Wh-tok-tok!

   With trembling hands I knocked on Aunt Hans' door. Wish he could talk before he actually left. Being between two choices is hard. No matter how much I love Gio, half of my heart is still with Hans. The handsome Hans, always accompanied my good dreams a few years ago.

   "Yes?"

   The face of a middle-aged woman poked with a shrunken forehead looking at my arrival. She's Minah, Aunt Hans.

  "Sri? what's the need to come here early in the morning?" tanyanya full of search.

  "Is Hans still home, Bi?"

   "Would you like to see Hans? haven't you already rejected it?" muttered Bi Minah, looking at me with her dislike. He seems angry at me.

    "Yes, I just wanted to see you one last time, Bi. After that I promise I won't bother him anymore" I beg you.

    "Hmmh, why are you still cold to meet Hans? still worried? remember don't play with fire, Sri! they have the same feeling as you do" Bi Minah looked at me sharply with a voice full of emphasis.

   I swallowed the saliva with great difficulty. It is difficult to express what is raging in the heart.

   I chose Gio, but why is it so hard to forget Hans? what's wrong with my heart?

    God, in the depths of my heart I don't want to be double. I don't want to be in two choices. My heart hurts, it hurts. This love really makes me gil*.

   "I beg you, Bi. Let me meet Hans just this once," I laboriously muffled the pain in my chest and the urgent tears of wanting to come out.

   "Hans, just left for Terminal. Maybe he has arrived. You know where she's headed," Aunt sighed deeply.

    "Thank you, Bi," I replied sumringah.

   Without wasting any time, I left and ran to find a vehicle to get to the terminal.

   It felt like someone was watching my movements, but I continued on without looking back, I just wanted to catch up with time before I completely forgot and lost Hans forever.

   "Sri ...!"

   I flinched when a nightmare suddenly appeared to disturb my sleep.

    Sri's shadow went with Hans to break the drowsiness and make my heart beat fast.

     I try to focus my mind. Wishing what I was thinking was just a nightmare.

    Samar saw Sri running in a hurry, he then stopped at a wooden house that was quite magnificent and sturdy. Typing the door so many times that someone came out with a sour face.

   He repeated the name Hans. Is that Hans' house? and who is the woman who seems so upset to see Sri's face?

   Sure enough, when my feet were on the ground near his house, clearly I saw the face of Sri who was like a confused person. His head moved to the right and left like he was looking for something. Just now I wanted to get closer, a motorcycle approached him and he climbed up in a hurry.

   I ran after him with a transparent body equivalent to the speed of a motor that is now speeding very fast. I don't know where Sri was going at the time. It was like time hunting.

   The motor finally stopped at the gate of the Bus Terminal. The girl I love so much ran so fast . Several times he was knocked and almost fell, his body a little dazed, but he still ran and did not care.

   He climbed one bus after another, his face was very sad and disappointment was clearly implied in his beautiful face.

   I just looked at him from a close distance. But I don't want to disturb him. Surprisingly, I couldn't see or hear what he was thinking.

   With gontai steps, Sri finally walked towards the long bench where passengers were waiting.

   He fell down lethargic with tears breaking. What exactly does he want to look for? is he looking for Hans?

   My heart was pounding as a man walked towards her. The man was wearing a hat and he reached out and stroked Sri's broken crown.

   My girl immediately looked up and hugged the figure of the man I believed was definitely Hans.

   Pain, tenderness and pain as my netraku catches their current intimacy. What do you want this Sri? didn't Sri pick me yesterday and reject Hans? is it back to worry?

***

"Hans.thank God you came," sobbing I touched Hans' hand which was currently gently stroking my head.

I immediately got up and hugged her body tightly. It is sad, very sad to part with him for the second time because maybe this is also the last day and there will be no next meeting.

I realized that my current choice would certainly bury all the sweet memories with him. Because I can't be two.

"Sri, why are you here?" tanyakanya.

"You have the heart, Hans. Not letting myself say goodbye to you. You know, Hans. You mean so much to me" my sobs.

"For what, Sri? to make my wounds go deeper? let me dissolve in a directionless love?"

"I'm sorry, Hans. At least allow me to meet you just this once. And let go of you without regret," I clasped his hand and looked at my face meaningfully.

He nodded and kissed my forehead for a long time. There is warmth running through my body and the recesses of my heart. Like I miss that kiss. A kiss on the forehead he never gave.

"Blessed, Sri. I'm sorry I'm late for coming and revealing how you feel when you're in love with someone else,"

"Thank you, Hans. I'm sorry I hurt your heart. Stay away, deep down, you're still someone special" I said sincerely.

Hans wiped my tears slowly. He stroked my hair gently again.

"I have to go, Sri," she said. He then turned around and stepped away from me while waving his hand. As his feet began to step into the Bus that was preparing to walk away from the Terminal.

"I love you, Sri" he said loudly on the bus.

I just nodded and waved back at him. Standing still until the Bus carrying Hans slowly disappeared from sight.

"Good way, Hans. I'm sorry" I said as I wiped away the tears that fell.
