Love for Aira
Forgetting promises

A pale face with a thin smile greeted Chery's arrival in the room that looked so spacious. Doubtfully Chery walked slowly to the patient's bed where Cleo lay with various hospital devices attached to her body.

"What's up ? Don't you want to meet me ?" Cleo asked softly with a pale face and a thin smile that looked very forced. Even the girl was still trying hard to hold back the tears that had wanted to come out since the appearance of her best friend.

Somehow even though he also felt disappointed with this friend, but his affection for Chery exceeded the disappointment in his heart. Friendship that has been established since Junior High, was not able to make him hate this friend who was always there for him.

Seeing Cleo's reaction that turned out beyond his expectations, the girl immediately smiled broadly and accelerated her footsteps towards the patient's bed.

"What did you say ? Do you know how worried I am when I hear the bad news that is happening to you ? How could you think of leaving me Cle ?" Read Chery when she was sitting next to the patient's bed, her eyes staring at her friend who looked weak and pale.

Cleo smiled faintly as she looked at Chery's sad-looking face. Even his best friend's eyes look glassy holding back tears.

"Sorry - -" he said.

Cleo looked up at the white sky of the room with a sad look, but a moment later the girl's face turned flat and Chery noticed the change in her best friend. In his heart was a huge feeling of guilt. Bad thoughts instantly haunted him when he saw Cleo's seemingly flat and cold gaze.

" Cher, do you remember how long we've been friends ?"

"Huh ..what do you mean Cle ?" Ask with a frown. " Why do you ask like that, of course it's been a long time, haven't we been friends since we stepped on the Junior High School bench." Staring at her bewildered best friend, the girl had not yet become suspicious of Cleo's strange questions.

" SMP ya-" Decakya while smiling bitterly. " That means that for about 10 years we have always been together as friends and maybe even more than just friends."

Although still feeling confused, Chery still nodded her head.

"Do you remember our old promise ?"

"Promise-" Chery was increasingly confused by Cleo's increasingly strange attitude.

Again the girl smiled bitterly realizing that her best friend must have forgotten the promise they said ten years ago when the two decided to continue to be friends at any time.

"You forgot ? Too bad Cher, but take it easy even if you've forgotten it but I still remember it clearly."

Chery still guessed what Cleo meant about the promise they had made. He tried his hardest to remember about their honest promise maybe he had forgotten. Long enough he tried to remember it until a flash of promise ten years ago appeared on his head that instantly made his body freeze with a paled face.

"Promise me that we'll be together whenever Cle."

"I promised Cher we'd be together all the time." Said Cleo while linking her two little fingers with Chery's little finger.

"OK, since we have promised then from this moment on your secret is my secret, your scream is my scream, your happiness is my happiness. I want if one of us gets into trouble we have to tell each other, we can't keep any secrets. Share with me if you feel sad, then I will always be there for you. And vice versa with me, I will never keep any secrets to you Cle."

"Yes, I promise."

Chery swallowed her strong saliva, cold sweat began to wet her skin. He had forgotten the promise he had made all along.

"Cle ak - I - -"

"It's okay Cher, there's no need to feel guilty. After all, it was just a promise made by two snot boys who did not understand an important word. Maybe I'm the only one who feels that promise is like a life so important in my life that I have to take care of and protect."

"Mom - that's not what Cle meant, ak-me-" Nervously with a pale face.

Cleo smiled bitterly and turned her face to the side trying to avoid Chery's eyes full of guilt for forgetting their promise.

"Don't look at me like that Cher, as if you've made a big mistake." He stared into the eyes of his best friend.

Cleo cast her gaze towards the window that showed the darkness of the day because the current state outside was already at night.

"Do you know, all this time I thought that this friendship really meant a lot to us. I love you with all your character and care for me. Even you always defended and protected me when everyone hated me. All of your good treatment made me feel moved and happy because I finally had someone who sincerely thought I existed. Someone who would accept me by his side that not even anyone else would want to be close to me that for them I'm just an unlucky girl." She said with tears beginning to fall.

"Besides my brother, you're a very special second person to me Cher. You two managed to occupy the side of my heart's space that was always empty and empty."

"You know I love my brother so much, you even know I lost a mother, a brother and a friend so much. Her loss made my life directionless, let alone my whole family blaming me even more since her disappearance."

Cleo looked silent for a moment, the girl closed her eyes. The glint of the shadow of the sister's face that was so soft and motherly was back in her head. Makes the feeling of tightness grow.

"Cle"

"Today I know why they hate me more. All because I'm a murderer, my brother's killer. I should have died, right ? I should have been the one to leave this world. You shouldn't have to give me his heart. It should be like that, Cher, tell me. I should have died, right ?"

"Cle"

Chery got up from her seat and hugged Cleo's body, which shook with tears. Hugged her very tightly and let her best friend let out her usual grievances. Letting his best friend let out tears as hard as possible and hope that after this there will be no more tears. He really hopes that this friend he loves will find his happiness.

Long enough the two hugged each other spilling everything in the hearts of both. Cleo is shocked by what happened and Chery with her guilt.

"Why don't you tell me Cher-"

"Sorry - -"

"Why are you hiding this big thing to me. You know I trust you so much."

"Sorry-" Again, just an apology that came out of Chery's lips while continuing to hug her best friend's body.

"Why did you let my brother do that ridiculous thing."

"I'm sorry, I don't have the power to do it. All in the desire of Amira herself. He loves you so much." I'm Chery interrupted by his sobbing.

"I should have died, right ? Why should my brother, why not me. You should have prevented it." Said Cleo interrupted his sobbing to take out all the burden in his heart.

Plaques

The slap that was quite hard laid by Chery made Cleo grimace slowly because of the pain and heat on her cheeks. Chery looked at the palm of her hand she had just used to slap her best friend. Although his heart feels tight, but there is no other way to make this friend back to consciousness and not blame himself.

"What did you say ? Do you think we'll let you go after what Amira's sister did for you ! Be aware Cle, all this is not purely your fault. All is the destiny of the Power. Amira died not because of you, but because of cancer that had been eating away at her body."
