"Why did I get this answer?" ask yourself Agust. "If you reject me, you want us to separate. It was a decision I was thinking about. And this is the truth I got!" her heart gripped her hair tightly.
"SHI BAL!" The screams of his heart cupped his palms to his face.
Tomorrow...
At his desk Archi daydreams about last night's events.
"Why did Agust force me to do that?" ask Archi's heart which was filled with curiosity. "Would he really want to or just because he was forced to." he continued.
"Well, I should have wanted to. But if he means that I also do not like, like .. uh, males inget the person." he continued his mind.
"But whatever it is, as a wife I shouldn't refuse, right? Oh wow!!!! I'll apologize to him later." said his mind.
"Wooy!" Susan kicked off Archi's desk slowly.
"Ih..ngagetin anyhow!" gerutu Archi while holding his chest that beat fast.
"Yes early in the morning was dumb. Think what the hell?" susan asked, hands on her stomach.
"Tau nih Archi's. Foolish thinking don't." said Andini chuckling with Icha and Susan. Archi's face flushed.
"What the hell? you're fucking perverts!" sulcan Archi's.
"Well what's so early in the morning talking perverted?" suddenly the new Ridwan came crashing.
"Archi Pak early in the morning was daydreaming." explained Icha.
"You're daydreaming about the perverted?" tanya Ridwan glorifies the words of Archi's best friend.
"No...!" archi replied embarrassedly.
"Why do you keep talking?" ask Susan who is still curious.
"Not daydreaming of anything. Dah akh, on your kepo." Lontar Archi turned on his work computer.
"Hahaha.he's sulking." joked Susan walked back to her desk.
Meanwhile at the restaurant, Agust meets Irene who just came to his room.
"May I come in Miss?" ask Agust at the door.
"Agust, come on, come on in. What's up?" Irene asked curiously.
"Can I kasbon Miss Irene?" ask Agust.
"Casbon?" asked Irene squinted her eyes.
"Yes Miss. I need money to pay the rent." replied Agust.
"Contract? Are he and Archi going to stay in the contract." thought Irene.
"For a contract, is it urgent?" ask Irene.
"Yes Miss. I don't hold any more money."
"All right." answered Irene.
Agust came home early today. Before returning home he looked for the cheapest rent in the village near the Archi house complex. After finding it and dealing with the price, Agust went to Archi's house.
When Agust arrived home, he took a shower. After taking a shower, she packed her clothes into a bag. In between packing his clothes, Agust paused for a moment and looked around Archi's room.
A sense of heat restrained he felt behind his eyelids. The memories he had experienced during his stay there were reflected in his mind. From the beginning when he met Archi for the first time after turning into a human. As he quarreled with Archi for holding his navel.
Agust laughed a little considering that. And other memories they both had. Laughter, sadness, and anger. All the feelings they shared together.
Finished packing Agust took the board he made for Archi's birthday present. He looked at the cheerful photo of Archi there.
"I just want you to be happy Archi. Not sad let alone burdened because of me. Hopefully after this you will find your happiness." Agust put the board back in its original place.
He picked up the paper of his writings in Archi's study desk closet. He also put his handphone on Archi's desk.
Agust kicked the pebble he saw on his way. That time,
"Yes, it's rich" Andini said laughing, joking as she walked with Archi, Susan and Icha. It just so happened that they were going to Archi's house to play.
"Eh...Chi, it's Agust!" point Icha to the road. They all turned towards Icha.
"Yes. Where'd he take that bag full?" tanya Archi was confused. "I went there first." said Archi across the street.
"Gust!" call Archi half-run towards Agust.
"Damn!" Agust put on a grimacing face. Pretend not to hear Archi's call and keep going.
"Gust!" pekik Archi held Agust's arm. Agust stopped walking and turned his face to Archi.
"Where are you going?" ask Archi. Agust just looked down, so heavy for him to answer.
"Later I will take out all the clothes you bought." replied Agust.
"What's? What's for?" tanya Archi was confused. "August...Where are you going?" tanya Archi was a little annoyed because Agust was rambling.
"I'm leaving. I'll free you from me."
"Gust!" pekik Archi with his manik that had been filled with tears. "So your words. Don't so. Do you know what it means to talk like that? You're gonna drop me a divorcee."
"If it had to be like that. I don't want you to be unhappy because of me."
"Who said I wasn't happy because of you?"
"You. You said it, if we shouldn't have married in the first place. Because I'm just a burden to you." Agust's voice slightly raised, jerking Archi.
"I didn't really say it was Agust. I'm just being emotional. Agust..ayo we're back!" invite Archi to pull Agust's hand with tears that have fallen soaked his eyes.
"I can't. Forgive me Archi." replied Agust releasing Archi's hand.
"August?" whispered Archi looked at Agust who was shading his tears.
"You deserve better Archi. With Ridwan or whoever it is, but it doesn't seem to be me."
"Please don't talk like that! You are happiness to me."
Archi's friends, who were aware of their quarrel, walked over to them but still gave them some distance.
"We've tried so far with this forced marriage, but there seems to be no hope for us. Maybe it's hard at first, but I'm sure we can" said Agust, who tried his hardest to hold back his tears as he pressed on to come out.
"No!" pekik Archi's. But Agust ignored him and turned around, continuing his journey.
"Gust!" Archi chased Agust but he fell.
"August...back, I beg you!" weeping Archi who squatted on the asphalt road.
"Archi," Icha, who was grieving, embraced Archi.
Agust who realized Archi had fallen felt unbearable to let his wife but he strengthened his heart and tried not to care. Keep walking away from them.
"I'm sorry Archi. It's for your own good." whispered Agust with a bowed face.
