I fought for Mona. However, it was only Deidh that he left me. I thought we were defending each other, before it turned out that this was all I wanted. Then he said stay strong without her. Stay strong on dreams. So what does this togetherness mean? If only I were the only one who felt. Is he happy in a way that doesn't make me happy? Does he know how to forget it? The parts of her and I've been traveling, are pieces that have possessed the pilu.
"After this I will return to Jakarta" he said, breaking the silence between us after only his cries could be heard filling Mona's room.
"Star, once again I'm sorry. I know now you're really disappointed in me. But this is the path of destiny that I must choose." He rubbed my shoulder after he had shed a deep wound as if he wanted to treat the wound that had been bleeding.
I grieve, is cheating and duplicity the path of destiny? Is that fate? No, it was a choice to hurt me who loved Mona so much more than anything.
"Miss."
We both turned towards the exit, Ikmal was already standing there as he walked in.
"Star," said Ikmal to me.
My hands clenched at once with hardened jaws. I looked at Ikmal with hatred. He has been my best friend since college. We were both doctors and he worked at my hospital with Mona. Imagine how they could shed the sharp thorns in my heart and leave behind disappointment and hatred.
"I'm sorry, Star." Ikmal.
Why is he now embarrassed after making me feel the pain? Do Ikmal know how devastated I am right now when I hear the woman I love wholeheartedly humming the child of this man in front of me.
"I've loved it for a long time, Mona. Since we were in college," he explained.
The three of us were friends but Mona was our level sister. Sometimes Ikmal and I often come to Mona's class just to grab her a nibble or just bring her breakfast. Mona's busy doing college assignments especially if it's koas, she forgot about her health. I don't want him to get sick. But who would have thought that he was the one who became the thorn in the flesh.
"I have permission to take Mona away, Tang," she said, clutching Mona's hand in front of me.
My blood immediately hissed violently. I immediately thought of Nara, the woman who was my wife. Maybe this is how Nara felt when she saw me and Mona?
"This is our resignation letter. Thank you for letting us work at your hospital." Ikmal handed me two white envelopes.
Did they all plan this before? To hurt me at will without thinking of feelings.
They both disappeared behind the door, leaving me in silence. This house is indeed mine, some time ago I brought Mona moved here for fear if Nara complained to Father and Mother if the woman lived with us.
My eyes glazed over, a tinge of pain and disintegration printed clearly from my body which instantly weakened simultaneously. The spots of clear circles rolled from the kerling of my beautiful eyes.
I gripped the two envelopes in my hand. The pain in my heart has turned into deep hatred. I never imagined it would feel this painful. I gathered a million forces to stand up and then I tore apart the thing in my hand. Whoever they are I won't apologize and forgive again.
I walked out of the room in shaky steps. My legs are heavy to injure. I thought the heartbreak would leave a lot of wounds that expand in the chest but why only a few moments ago I felt the longing of Mona.
My footsteps stopped when I reached the living room. There are a lot of memories left here. This house I bought for my future and Mona's. After separating from Nara I intended to invite Mona to be my wife because she was the only woman I wanted to marry and of course after getting the blessing of Father and Mother.
I got in the car. My body still feels weak, to walk alone I have to strengthen myself so as not to fall. I don't understand why some people just call it heartbreak because when I wake up, I find my body broken to pieces.

"Nara," I muttered.
This is the first time I've ever mentioned my wife's name. There was a different taste when the name was thrown on my lips. The feelings I had neglected. Why does it feel like my heart is beating?
I stepped inside. I saw Nara sitting comfortably in front of the television while enjoying a snack in the jar. All this time I never really appreciated him. To me he is a shadow lost in the blow by the night wind.
"Are you doing nothing?" my many.
He looked at me with a mouth full of snacks. He snatched the juice on the table and then waited until it ran out.
"Huh?" He looked surprised when he heard my question.
I sat near him. Somehow why I need Nara for me to lean on now?
"I want to lean?"
"Huh?"
Without waiting for her approval I leaned on my wife's fragile shoulder. Why does it feel so comfortable? I closed my eyes for a moment trying to neutralize the emotion that felt like it was in my chest.
"Who are you going home with?" ask me with eyes that are still closed without looking at it.
"Sir Rimba delivered, Mas."
Rimba, why is that name so familiar? Why is that name like I've heard it before?
"The jungle's my high school friend?" my guess.
"Yes, Mas" said Nara.
Nara's soft voice entered my sense of hearing. The smooth and soft voice seemed to be able to calm the soul that felt crumbled dim.
"Mas, all right?"
That question made my cheek instantly hot. I bit my lower lip to hold the colorless circles that wanted to escape at the end of my eye. Nara asked if I was okay? Obviously I'm not okay at the moment, but I'm too embarrassed to admit that Nara actually existed. What if he laughs at me for feeling the same way?
"Mas, are you all right?" ask him again.
I got up from his shoulder and looked at his face. Why did I just realize that Nara was so beautiful with a big smile that made my heart instantly warm?
"May I hug you for a second, Ra?" my door is hopeful. I don't know why I want to hug her?
He looked silent and confused as well. Several times he swallowed his saliva with great difficulty.
Seriate...
