I Love You My Step Mother
Farewell

Andrian and Alfira who were sitting in front of the ICU room were surprised to hear from the doctor that it turns out Reza who had fallen into a coma due to an accident a week ago, the current condition is quite encouraging.

"Right, Doc?" asked Andrian did not believe, at first he had resigned but it turns out fate said another.

"Yes, he was conscious, no deformities and buildup, good nerve function, good CT scan, no broken skull bones. Indeed, the left collarbone blisters, soon Mr. Reza will move to an ordinary room (from the ICU room)," said the man's doctor, Andrian and Alfira could breathe a sigh of relief.

"Pak Reza has no permanent injuries, and there is no neurosurgery, only a pen in the left collarbone. That if it's good, in a few days he will be treated orthopedic surgery," added the doctor.

"Thank you, Doc" Andrian said with a smile.

"Yes, excuse me" said the doctor, smiling as he walked away.

In the hospital garden, Alfira and Andrian sit together just to enjoy the night breeze. They were silent and hypnotized because that night the sky was so beautiful, sprinkled with stars and the moon shining brightly.

"Andrian ...," Alfira's voice broke the silence without escaping from looking at the stars.

Andrian turned to his mother. "Hmm?"

Before saying Alfira let out a heavy sigh. "You, find another love, and let me go" he said slowly.

Hearing that Andrian's heart ached, as well as Alfira, as if to say a heavy sentence thrown from his own mouth. But how else, he had to end it, considering they would never be able to unite.

Andrian turned his gaze back to the beautiful glowing star. "Why should we have this feeling if it will eventually lead to pain?" andrian said grievously.

"Then let's bury this feeling. If not, then we will still suffer because of the love that grew on the wrong land."

"If we can't?"

"Must be Andrian."

Both breasts felt tight, their bodies suddenly limp. Both of Andrian's eyeballs had pooled, a sign of tears would fall, but he was resistant.

"Why do you love me too? I should have suffered from this feeling, why should you accept it? Let me bear it if in the end you too must be hurt by this feeling" Andrian said.

"That's okay Andrian, I don't regret loving you despite the pain. Falling in love with yourself is the most beautiful thing in my life because it can turn me into the perfect person in your eyes."

"But I hate it when this feeling hurts both of us!" sergeant Andrian emotion.

"Therefore let us both throw away this love, and we shall love only as mother and son." The words were easy to say on Alfira's lips, but heavy and piercing in both of them's hearts.

Long enough they were silent, the sight of the two was still engrossed in watching the twinkling stars in the sky, but the hearts of both tormented accept the fact that they cannot nurture the love that sometimes makes the heart flowery happy.

I don't know why the words of pearl from Rara are ringing in his head. Andrian finally decided, "All right." Andrian breathed a long breath. "I'll try to move on from you" he continued. "And I'll let you go for Papa."

Hearing that instantly one tear drop fell on the cheek, Alfira quickly wiped it off as she had to look firm. Alfira turned towards Andrian. "Will you love me like a mother?" with a bitter smile.

"All right." Andrian did not stare at Alfira, because for him it would be very painful. At least that night, their heartache was resolved!

***

Reza and Alfira who were sitting in the living room immediately turned their heads in shock towards Andrian. Andrian had no plans to study abroad. So for Reza to continue his study abroad was very sudden.

"He used to plan to UI ko now choose abroad?" ask Reza astonished.

"Andrian got a scholarship Pah, and Andrian also wanted to find experience," he said while looking down.

"Where are the students from? What university is your plan?"

"Andrian attended the Orange Tulip Scholarship Pah program, at Radbound University."

Not without reason Andrian studied abroad, of course because he wanted to stay away from Alfira. He thought, perhaps by keeping a distance from it, the love will gradually fade, although it basically feels heavy because it will be separated for a long time.

Somehow after Alfira heard that her heart was throbbing pain. He stood up from the sofa, walking unsteadily towards his room. He huddled under the covers, holding back the tears that he was going to part with Andrian. But isn't that the risk? When the two of them have promised to fight each other to bury their feelings then he must be strong, because sometimes the struggle feels sore.

"Yes, if Papa supports it."

Andrian smiled thinly. "Thank you, Pah."

After Andrian graduated High School and had prepared his departure to the Netherlands, Andrian took the time to come to school. He wanted to meet someone who was none other than his ex.

In the school parking lot, Andrian combed his gaze around, hoping to meet with Siska. In the end, Andrian found the girl. He was walking towards the car waiting for him.

Andrian quickly ran over, then he pulled the girl's arm reflexively Siska turned back. He was surprised and confused because it turned out Andrian who held him.

Siska put on a cold, squeaky face. "You what?" ask Siska flat.

Slowly Andrian removed his hand from Siska's arm. Andrian looked at Siska instens. Instantly a sense of regret burst forth in his soul remembering what he had done to Siska. "I just want to apologize again."

Siska looked at that beautiful face. The face that he hated because the man in front of him had given a heart-wrenching wound. On the other hand, there is a little bit of pleasure that he can look back at the face that he has always loved.

You could say that Siska still keeps feeling for Andrian, it makes him frustrated. It could be that he still harbors love for the person who has scratched the wound, that is how his mind cursed.

"Stale dead!" he sniffed back while throwing a gaze from Andrian, then he began to continue his steps.

"I want to go to Holland!" Andrian's call immediately attached Siska's steps, he was stunned and stunned. "Thank you for being in my life, even though I haven't been able to love you completely but I'm happy to be in a relationship with you. People say you're fierce and spoiled, but to me you're a good girl, cheerful and sweet."

Siska was silent not responding. "Goodbye Siska, I hope someday we can meet."

After hearing that, Siska continued her steps. He did not respond or look at Andrian. He pretended to be indifferent, but his heart said no. Yes, he was sad to hear that, parting ways with Andrian.

In the car heading home, Siska fell silent. Either why the clear liquid he was holding from earlier suddenly came out, he quickly wiped it. "Damn it!"
