KARMAS
Both hurt

Bisma was still staring at Mesya who was sitting beside her. A happy smile never escaped his lips because the woman he had longed for this moment had returned.

After Bhishma had informed Mesya of his status, they were now sitting side by side in the worn-out rattan chair.

"So you never came back because you thought I was married to Alya??"

Mesya turned his head to the side where the man was sitting facing towards him.

"Are you supposed to be married, right??"

Bisma again showed her smile to Mesya.

"Where can I marry another woman while the woman I love is somewhere"

Mesya seemed to not believe the new reality he heard at this time. So far he has tried to avoid Bhishma so that the man is happy with his lover. But it turns out that without Mesya guess their marriage has failed.

"How could you brother?? How does Alya feel if your marriage fails?? I can feel how devastated she is" Mesya has felt herself giving up the man she loves for someone else.

"Yes, why are you always thinking about Alya's feelings. Have you ever thought about being in my position?? Do you want to see me suffer from having to pretend to love Alya for the rest of my life if that marriage keeps happening??" Mesya immediately fell silent because of the question of Bhishma.

"I gave up on this feeling at first, too. I was determined to continue the marriage but Alya herself canceled it??" Bisma.

"Alya himself?? How Can??"

"So when I knew your departure that day. I'm directly following you to Paris. Leaving Alya alone in your boutique when we wanted to pick up my clothes" Mesya was surprised to find that Bisma had caught up with him to Paris.

"You're coming to Paris??" Bisma.

"One week I searched for you there but found no clue about your whereabouts at all. My mom called me and told me to come back. But I told Mama about my feelings. But they do not want to be ashamed because of the cancellation of the marriage. With all the threats, Papa and Mama still want the marriage to happen" Bisma recalled far to three years ago.

At that time he was like standing alone, no one cared about his feelings including his parents. Until he had to make a decision even though it was heavy on various sides.

Mesya just fell silent listening to the story of Bhishma. Guilt was in his heart at this moment. He didn't know if his decision would make Bhishma hurt like that.

"It was hard and forced, I made that decision. I came to see Alya and apologized for leaving her alone at that time and I was sure that Alya had started to get suspicious of my feelings for you"

Suddenly Mesya's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that Alya's disappointment would inflict anger on him so Alya hated Mesya at this time.

"I confess my feelings for you in front of Alya. I apologized and begged him to give me a second chance. I want to repair our relationship. But unexpectedly, Alya chose to release me to pursue you"

FLASHBACKS

Are you sure Mas??" Alya looked at Bhishma's eyes so deeply. Those teary eyes already showed deep pain.

"I'll try Alya. Help me to return that love to you" Alya smiled faintly with the answer Bhishma gave. The man did not say yes or no.

"I ask you again, Are you sure?? You won't regret if stuck marriage with me while your heart is still waiting for someone else??"

Bisma is concerned, she certainly daja already knows about it. But for the sake of his parents, also for the sake of Alya who did not want him to hurt too deeply, then Bhishma was determined to make that decision.

"If you love her, why don't you go after her?? Why should I give up here?? Talk everything over with Om and Aunt in a good way, brother, I'm sure they'll understand"

"But what about you Alya?? I'm not..."

"You don't have to worry about me Mas, I'm not papa. I'm just thankful that you're being honest right now, rather than knowing this after our marriage. I realized that one's feelings could change at any time" Alya could still show her smile in front of Bhishma even though Bhishma herself knew that Alya's heart was so broken at this moment.

"I've forgiven you. I know you're a good man" Bhishma laughed cynically in her heart. How could Alya still praise him like that when Bhishma could hurt him.

"If it's a problem with our parents. Tomorrow we meet them together. Let's explain to them that the two of us can't keep pace anymore. I'm sure they'll understand"

Bhishma again admired the figure of Alya. The woman in front of him was so mature in addressing such a big problem. A marriage that only stayed a few more days had to be annulled because of his feelings that could not be controlled.

"Thank you Alya, and once again forgive me"

"From now on, pursue your love, brother. Find Mesya and tell him that he doesn't have to go far to avoid his feelings just for me. Fight for your love, live happily with the love you really want"

FLASHBACK OFF

"Hiks.hiks.."

Mesya again had to be hit with the spaciousness of Alya's heart. How could the one who was hurt the most among the three of them actually have such a big heart. She easily let go of the man she had been with for years for the sake of another woman.

"How evil am I Brother. It turns out that I've been hurting Alya to this day"

The bisma pulled Mesya into her arms. Letting the woman cry in her arms.

"Don't blame yourself anymore. This may be the destiny that has been outlined to us. In fact, my love for you did not fade until now even though I got it only through that dream. This feeling just gets stronger every day even though I don't find your existence at all. Now we accept this destiny of love. Do not refuse or try to remove it again because it will be useless. You gotit??"

Mesya still continues to sob in the arms of Bhishma without answering the question of the man who still loves him.

"Hey, answer my question first" Bisma parsed her embrace to look Mesya in the eye so deeply.

"You want to accept my love again, right?? You still love me, don't you??"

"Mas" Bhishma was transfixed for a few seconds because the call came out again from Mesya's lips.

"Yes, honey??" Mesya had not answered Bhishma's question, the man's lips had covered his happy smile.

"If the dream can change your feelings from being initially uninterested even in me to being a very big love like this, then what about me who from the beginning did love you?? Do I still need to ask this question about my love??"

Bhishma grabbed Mesya's hand and kissed him many times.

Cup..

Cup..

Cup..

"No, no, honey. I know how much you love me. I don't doubt it at all. Thank you for loving me this big. I love you Mesya"

The feelings that they had been quieted by being separated by circumstances now created a bliss that erupted when their love managed to return to their respective owners.

"I love you too Mas, and happy birthday. I'm sorry I don't have a birthday present for you"

Bhishma could not stop her smile any more Mesya remembered the day of her birth.

"Thank you for always remembering today. You also do not need to give me any gifts, because you are the most beautiful gift for me"
