Last Letter to Kheira
NOT FOR HIM (Flashback)

(POV Gayatri)

"Tri, Tri, drugged, you're called Mr. Adi at school"

The breath of gasping found himself drying clothes in the yard of the house.

"Huh sir Adi? Our killer teacher first?"

Screaming Gayatri his eyes widened towards Katrina, his best friend.

"Yes.... Bener Tri is our killer teacher who once jeweled me"

Katrina showed her frightened face.

"What did Adi call me Rin?"

Tanya Gayatri was overwhelmed with curiosity.

"Don't understand me, just told to tell you. You're waiting in the schoolyard with Adi"

Katrina shrugged both of her shoulders.

"Yaudah I said yes"

Katrina left him.

Alysa hurriedly dried her clothes and immediately rushed to meet Pak Adi, her high school teacher first.

"Any, tumben-tumbenan Pak Adi never met"

His murmur in his heart was enveloped in a sense of confusion.

His eyeballs searched the man around the corner of the school.

His eyes immediately fell on a man clad in a black shirt, sitting alone on a park bench.

"That's it"

He said in his heart to step foot toward someone who was not foreign to him.

"Is it true that you called me?"

Gayatri sighed as she faced her killer teacher.

"Yes I'm calling you, I want to talk something"

Pekik Adi with a serious tone makes the heart of Gayatri more unbecoming.

"May sir, what's wrong, sir?"

Gayatri lowered her head not daring to stare at her killer teacher.

"May you sit next to me?"

Pinta Adi made him surprised to hear his teacher's words.

"Good sir"

Slowly follow.

"Sit"

Adi said allowing Gayatri to occupy an empty seat beside him.

"Actually... "

Adi stopped his conversation and began to regulate his breathing.

"What exactly is it, sir?"

Ask Gayatri slowly.

"I actually love you"

Said Adi nervously making Gayatri as if she was in a dream.

"If you like, I'd like to propose to you. Do you want to?"

Adi took out a small red box from his pocket, which contained a white ring. Gayatri looked silent in silence lowered her head, not a single answer came out of her lips.

"Sorry sir..."

Gayatri said she looked the other way.

"meaning?"

Tanya Adi scrunched her forehead.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to accept my father's proposal"

Clarify it with a soft tone accompanied by feelings of guilt.

"Why Tri? Please explain"

Pinta the man made sure the woman in front of him who was still bowed.

"I only consider Mr. Adi as my own brother, even though our age is not too far away. Unfortunately, I already have someone I love" sir"

He said he dared to look at the eyeballs filled with disappointment.

"Who's Tri?"

Asked the man made Gayatri even more downcast and silent.

Gayatri looks confused to answer the question, he seems not to want to hurt anyone's feelings, especially Adi.

However, on the other hand he also cannot continue to cover it, because he knows that lies are much more painful than a bitter honesty.

"Mas Indra, your best friend"

Slowly down, unable to look at the two eyes of a man in front of him, which will make him more overwhelmed with feelings of guilt.

Gayatri understood that the man's feelings must have been shattered when she heard the answer from him. Because a girl he loves prefers someone else, his own best friend.

An honesty is more valuable than a lie that is constantly covered up.

"Well, if you love her I sincerely accept all your answers. Because your happiness is the struggle of my love, until whenever I will love you sincerely"

Lirih Adi with a smile of his stubbornness then stepped his feet leaving Gayatri alone in the garden yard.

☀☀☀

A sincere man who is willing to wait for the woman he loves to be able to open the door of his heart for her.

Dimata Gayatri, the figure of Adi is a sincere man and as ambitious as other men, who only want a love because of sheer desire.

Adi prefers to fight the woman he loves with sincerity and respect.

Love is hard, it cannot be forced and it cannot be forced. Let it grow on its own.

That night, her lover came to see her. Gayatri cuddled the body of the man in front of her. Slowly the man let go of Gayatri's embrace.

"Tri, here..."

He gave her a marriage letter.

"What is this mas?"

His puzzled question rounded his eyes towards the man in front of him.

"Read it"

His brief ink made Gayatri quickly open the clear plastic wrapped in the invitation letter, his eyes widened for a moment to see the name of his lover written in the invitation he held.

"What do you mean, mas?"

Pekik Gayatri raised her tone of voice wrapped in a face of annoyance.

"I've been betrothed by my parents"

Lirih Indra slowly looked at Gayatri's eyeballs.

"Please understand this"

His embrace made Gayatri avert her gaze for a moment.

"Well, if that's what's best for you, I'm sincere"

Lirih Gayatri kept a tightness in her chest.

"Tomorrow I'll get married"

Indra's murmur grasping both of Gayatri's shoulders made Gayatri speechless trying to wipe away her tears that flowed suddenly.

"I'm a pamper"

Indra continued wiping the tears of the girl in front of him and then hugging him.

"I'm saying yes Tri"

Indra's whispers slowly released his embrace from Gayatri's body. Gayatri just nodded slowly trying to ignore her pain.

Indeed the strata of the man were much higher than him, which was nothing. Just a little food-seller kid in the school cafeteria.

Gayatri felt self-aware and tried hard to accept the bitterness of reality.

"A pinta to "Forgive" is not difficult, but applying it is a complicated thing"

~Light Novelia

Indra set his foot on an ancient motorbike parked in front of Gayatri's house and then rode it while saying a word that made Gayatri's cry even more broken.

"Tri, I love you..."

Shouted Indra from a distance.

"I'm Pamit..."

He waved one hand at Gayatri.

Gayatri was just bitter towards him and returned a wave of hands towards the man.

The sound of the motor machine sounded very loud and noisy in his ears. However, slowly the machine's voice dissipated as Indra went from her side.

☀☀☀

Later that night, Gayatri gets news from her village friends.

"Tok tok tok"

The knock comes from the white door of the Gayatri house. Quickly he opened the door of his house.

"What's up Doni? Mas Adi?"

Gayatri asked curiously to see the two men of her former teacher who visited her with breathless breath.

"What's wrong?"

Slowly repeat.

"ins... Indra.."

Said Doni nervously unable to continue his words.

"Mas Indra why mas?"

Gayatri guessed a bad feeling from her heart.

"Indra has left us all"

Adi lirih said that Gayatri pecked when her tears just fell.

"His motorbike crashed into a heavily loaded truck because the ride was covered in heavy rain"

Clarify Doni make Gayatri's body more limp and feel tight.

BRUKKK

Gayatri fell unconscious.

Adi and Doni carry Gayatri into a minimalist house owned by Mbok Sarah. Mbok Sarah with a face full of worry to see her son was unconscious.

It was the most painful night, how not? Someone who is expected of you, someone who loves you, and someone who is dreamed of becoming your life partner then leave and leave you. FOR ETERNITY.
