The Flash Back bag 2

By late afternoon Riani and Ethan were coming home soon, as they were both afraid, both of their parents would worry and look for them.

.............

At night Riani hears a violent quarrel in Ethan's house, as their house is next to each other, and the screams of Aunt Grace with the man who is Ethan's father are heard all the way to his house.

And worried about Ethan's predicament, Riani sends Ethan a message.

"My Hay-Ri are you okay now?" riani asked in the message.

"I'm fine my Ria...😭😭😭" replied Ethan.

Seeing Ethan's answer does not immediately make Riani's heart calm, because when seeing emot in Ethan's message makes Riani more worried.

"Can I call you?" riani asked, but not immediately answered by Ethan, but just now he was going to call it Ethan first called him through a video call.

Soon Riani opens up and receives a call from Ethan.

Ethan's face is smiling, but Riani knows that Ethan's heart is hurt, from the look of his sad eyes.

"You are strong, baby...I'm still here..." Support Riani with a trembling voice and teary eyes, her heart ached when she saw Ethan.

"Yes dear...I must be strong, do you feel sorry for seeing me like this?" ethan asks because he does not want to be loved and looks weak in the eyes of his beloved lover.

"Of course not dear, it's just...My heart hurts to see you sad like that..." Replied Riani who finally could not hold back her cries anymore.

"Dear, you don't cry...I'll be even sadder..." Ethan said as he stared sadly at Riani's face on his phone screen.

"If I could, I'd love to run to your house and hug you and comfort you so that you don't feel sad anymore..." Said Riani who also looked full of sadness Ethan's face on the screen of his phone, his heart was no longer bear to see the sad face of Ethan, especially when the sound of slaps and screams mamahannya Ethan.

Immediately Ethan ran out of his room with his hands still holding his phone which was still connected to Riani, so that Riani could also see firsthand what was going on right now.

"Bah! why slap Mamah?! Ethan shouted while holding his papa hand that would slap his mama again.

"That's because your mom won't move to Jakarta to defend you!"

"I'm going to move to Jakarta with you guys, quite the reward! don't hit mama again!"

"You heard! Ethan just wanted to move to Jakarta, why do you even mind moving, do you have other men who make it hard to live with me?! ethan's dad looks very emotional.

"Where would a wife want to live with a husband who likes to hit like you Mas? there's nothing!" aunty Grace shouted on the sidelines of her cries.

"Bah! if papah like this continues, then I'm just as mamah will never want to stay with papah and better get out of here!" ethan yelled out his papa, he could not bear to see his mother cry because she was persecuted by his papa.

"I'm sorry Ethan...I'm sorry, honey...I did it all because I was so jealous and afraid of losing you..." Ethan finally weeps and kneels before Ethan and Aunt Grace.

"We're back in Jakarta? we start all over again and I promise I'll change..." Ethan pleaded.

.............

After they fell silent for some time his Papa Ethan knelt in front of his aunt Grace...

"Honey.please give me one more chance and I promise I'll make up for your ten years here..." Papah Ethan pleaded.

"You two talk, I'll go in first..." Ethan leaves his parents and goes into the room.

"My ria...Are you still there or are you asleep?" ethan asked in his soft voice, he was afraid to wake Riani up if she was already asleep.

"I haven't slept, I went to the toilet for a while..."

Seeing Riani's face, Ethan immediately smiled happily, in his heart just by looking at the face of his heart, all the burden in his heart felt lost instantly.

"My ria...I think I'm moving out with my papah in Jakarta..." Ethan said with his sad face.

"It's okay, baby...As long as you're happy with your family, I'm happy..." Riani replied with a bitter smile.

"But later we rarely meet and can only LDR (Long Distance Relationship) an dear..."

"But later I will feel lonely, because I'm used to being with you, later I will miss you..."

Hearing Ethan's words just now, Riani's heart seemed to be pierced by thorns and stuck until the pain felt very extraordinary, but in front of Ethan he tried to smile.

" You said that you would also visit and meet with me regularly, so you don't have to worry..."

"But I'm so heavy leaving you..." Ethan answered with teary eyes.

"You must remember these words of mine, you must be a strong man and endure no matter what, and do it for me, our love and our promise..."

"Yes baby, I promise...Can we meet now, I'd love to hold you..." Ethan whines like a kid.

"Well, we meet in the garden near our house now, how?"

"Okay, I'm waiting for you there..."

"All right, I'm out now"

As soon as the two turned off the video call, they exited the house.

............

It didn't take long for Riani to arrive at the park, where the two made the promise earlier.

Arriving in the middle of the park, Riani saw Ethan already standing there with his smile and spread out his hands welcoming Riani's arrival.

With a cry Riani ran towards Ethan and directly hugged him tightly.

Finally they both dissolve in a longing embrace that ends with a affectionate kiss on their forehead alternately.

"When did you move to Jakarta?" asked Riani who was still in Ethan's arms while raising her head.

"I don't know either, but as much as we can get through our short time as best we can..." Ethan replied while peeping for a moment Riani's forehead and lips.

"Well, let's sit there!" take Riani while pointing towards the park bench, while removing her embrace, but immediately pulled by Ethan back in his arms.

"I want us to always hug like this my dear Ria..." Ethan said as he tightened his embrace and repeatedly kissed Riani's head.

"But it's not good, then someone will see us my Fay-Ri..." Riani answered with her face buried in Ethan's chest in shame.

"What if someone sees our affection?"

"Oh baby...We are still sitting on the bench of Junior High, we are still teenagers, if people see us like this, it will be taboo effect..."

"Most of them will think our love is monkey love, just let people talk about what is important...

Ethan stopped his words then he knelt down in front of Riani, releasing the chirp on Riani's finger which made Riani even more confused.

...The important thing is that this time, tonight, this hour and this second I want to tie you up, so will you my Ria?" ethan asked continuing his unfinished words earlier.

Riani was shocked but also moved to be mixed happily, she only replied with a nod.

"Will you wait for me no matter what, until we can be fully reunited?" ask Ethan again.

"Yes, I want to wait for you whenever and whatever happens I will remain faithful waiting for you to return..." Replied Riani who finally opened her voice with the cry of her day.

Ethanpun laughs happily and then pinned the ring carved pegasus on Riani's finger, then kissed gently Riani's hand.

After Ethan stands up, Riani also takes off the same ring that Ethan wore.

"As a sign of our love, I also bind you to always remember me and finally return to me, though distance and time separate us, will you promise me?" riani asks while pinning the ring back on Ethan's finger.

"I'm Ethan Fayrisi, I promise you Riani Eka Safitri, although distance and time separate us and whatever happens next, I will definitely come back to you!" ethan's promise while touching Riani's head.

The two finally dissolve in hugs and kisses full of happiness, their fingers are joined and intertwined shows the ring of the two who touch each other as a witness to their sincere love, and their hands are connected, although for people who see the behavior of the two teenagers who are kasmaran it is too taboo and their love is only the love of monkeys that over time will disappear...
