Jakarta - Tokyo Love Story
38. We Just Break Up

"Fuck... . Me, a-i..."

"I what?"

Edo. Kalula could hear the sound of Edo's breath hunting. Maybe he panicked.

Edo explained everything. Erina who turned out to pay more attention to him because Erina always thought Edo looked like her late brother who had died.

Edo tried to straighten out. He said he was close to the other kids too. Ajeng, Aldo, and Beni as well. Edo is actually being bullied by them.

Edo kept trying to straighten things out. He was aware of the distance and time making it difficult for them to understand each other. Edo is also aware of his own behavior which makes Kalula misunderstand.

"OKAY. I know about Erina. Yes, I understand. After all you are close because of one dormitory and one campus. So I meet every day." Kalula's speech was either sarcastic or serious, his tone was hard to guess.

Silent. Edo was silent. He hoped that Kalula would say something else but Kalula was silent.

Across Jakarta, Kalula was waiting for Edo to speak again. He hoped Edo would explain Seira without asking. But it seems Edo is insensitive.

"What about Seira, Do? What's your explanation? What is your reason? About you lying again in the room and busy with the same task but it turns out you are the same Erina and the kids anyway I'm sorry, Do. Maybe you're just as lazy as me. Even though they are sad to be lied to.

But about Seira? You say again where, we also have a problem again at that time, uh Edward showed Seira again photos of the same exclaims you in Diseneyland. You know, Do, that was my dream place a long time ago.

It doesn't matter who you go there. That's your right. But you lied, Do. When I cry, I see videos of you laughing and shouting at Seira.

Yes, I was the same Edward back then. But the one you accuse of evil is the one that nenatin me when I cry, when I again slumped. I also cry because I think of you.

How, Do? Any defenses?" Kalula's voice sounded like he was holding something back. What he endured was anger and disappointment.

Edo.

Checkmate again.

Yes, Kalula is right. Defend yourself for what reason? In fact, he was with Seira at that time because he needed an escape from the problem.

Ego Edo as a man who does not want to accept mistakes tries to string up excuses. Though should have admitted that he was quite a coward because instead of solving the problem but instead run away with another girl.

"Fuck... . I-I didn't know Seira was Edward's cousin." Edo's voice sounded choked.

Kalula laughed.

What a response Edo did not expect. He did not dare to ask why Kalula asked. Edo knew he was wrong. Eat it just shut up and wait.

"Do, you can say that. From the beginning, if Edward hadn't told me about your photo with his cousin, I wouldn't have known you that far. I should have thanked him very much.

Your physical contact is too close to be concluded as a friend. Just like I've never been that close, Do.

Seira keeps hugging you and you look comfortable. There was no rejection from all the videos I saw. You're..."

"Kal's. Yes, Kal. That's." Edo fleas die with this indiscriminate attack of Kalula's words. He's overwhelmed.

"Why? Why did I tell you to stop talking? Shocked, do I know that much about you? It's easy to know. Seira uploads all your photos and videos in her media social account stories.

"Rather, Kal..." Edo could not stand this attack.

Edo knows Seira often takes photos or videos while they are together. But Edo did not know that social media was that free for others to access. Where he thought Kalula who was far away in Jakarta there knew Seira's social media account who was in Tokyo with him.

"It's all because of Edward! If only they were not cousins! If they weren't familiar and exchanging news!"

In his panicked and hot heart Edo wronged Edward.

Kalula. But the sound of his roaring breath from forgetting the emotions was clearly heard in Edo's ears.

"Sorry, Kal. Yes, yes, I was wrong. B-but why did when I saw the picture of Seira and I, Edward knew it was my picture? We don't even know each other." Edo was still trying to find a gap in self-defense, even though what he did was in vain.

Kalula laughed again. Laughter that sounds so upset. Already caught red-handed like this is still evasive. Maybe that's what makes Kalula laugh. Laughing at Edo's stupidity.

"Do, I told you. From the very beginning I knew Edward I told him all about myself, my life, about you, too. He knows it's you because I told him to look at your picture.

I'm proud to tell Edward you're my girlfriend. The girl I am proud to be studying in Tokyo. Now I'm ashamed of myself as much as he is. You're playing crazy with Edward's cousin.

You're a shadow of what it feels like to be me now. What do you want then? I can't keep going, Do. Keep worrying, keep worrying. My own life is hard because of my business with my mother. Plus think of you there who is not clear behavior. I can't get my head off so hard!"

Edo closed his eyes and the droplets fell.

How did their relationship get ruined like this, anyway? Whose fault is it? Who cheated on who?

Edo who was always strong and angry was crying. What a very rare occurrence.

Losing the trust of the one he loves hurts more than anything.

"I'm sorry, Kal..." Edo's voice faltered.

Kalula knew Edo was crying. He did not expect Edo's response to be this severe. Kalula was also secretly crying. But from yesterday his tears were already too much for Edo. It was a pity to throw away her tears for the man again.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Do. But I can't believe it anymore. Ever since you were Cindy, I'm sorry about you, too. Maybe I shouldn't have apologized to you since. Maybe I shouldn't give you a second chance. Now it's over and over again you're the same Seira..."

"Kala! No, Kal! I'm the same Seira there's nothing. We're just close because I need a friend, Kal. And he's..."

Edo stopped his words. He realized the more he explained, the more clearly he was the most wrong here.

Seira wants more. He did not refuse, but did not accept either. Probably not. Edo was too weak to resist temptation.

"We broke up, Do..."

Edo froze in place.

Breakup...
