The clouds have changed color, a sign that the sun has risen in the eastern horizon. It erodes the darkness of night until it changes by day. After knowing the truth, Alvan became compassionate towards Valonia Jasmine. The girl looked tough but in her soul was so fragile.
This morning the man was working as usual, but he was not alone with Keyan. They were both working on their first project.
"All is well." Keyan stretched his muscles. The man sat on the sofa.
"Hopefully everything is done on time." Alvan was also relieved. He stood up from where he was sitting and opened the refrigerator in the room. His throat was dry after a few hours of work. "How, Key. Have you found the answer in your heart?" He asked while throwing a can of drink at his best friend.
Keyan leaned his body against the wall of the sofa. Yes ! He had an answer in his heart. After calmly examining his feelings. Whatever Keyan's efforts. His first love was still imprinted and enthroned. Occupy the throne as queen in her heart.
"That feeling is still there, I miss it when I don't see it. Jasmine is still in my heart. I can't ignore it or erase my feelings."
Alvan breathed a rough breath. He knew that answer would hurt his heart. But he has to make sure. "What about those who don't know you ?"
Keyan smiles. "I'm sure he was faking it, maybe Jasmine was mad at me that night for humiliating him. So he's replying to me like this. I'll prove if he's lying by not knowing me."
"What if it's true ?"
Alvan's question was like a slap to Keyan, his feelings were suddenly scared. Is that true ? This male Netra stared deeply at the bead of his best friend's eyes.
"Whatchu mean? What is right? Don't scare me." The nervousness was so visible when Keyan several times exhaled.
"Valonia really doesn't know us." Alvan answered him clearly, the streak of sadness was emanating on his face.
Keyan nodded quickly. "That's impossible, Al ! He was just deliberately trying to get back at me." He denied the news he had heard. In his heart throbbing pain, how could that happen ?
"All right, Key. Varen told me. But he did not say the cause. I went to the shop yesterday. It turns out Valo is not well, there I met Varen and Sonny. That's when he told me not to force Valo to remember us because indirectly it would be thought of by him." Obviously Alvan long.
Keyan's body was limp, so everything was right.
He is forgotten !
Why does it hurt more than rejection ?
Her net was hot and dewy, the tightness in her chest was so pronounced. A lot of people have missed it in the last five years. The slightest bit of information about Valonia Jasmine did not Keyan know because it deliberately cut off any form of communication.
"Why are you still talking about that girl ! He has clearly forgotten you guys ?!"
Tita entered with anger, she had already heard everything when she was about to enter. She was angry to find out that the man who would become her future husband still had love for another girl.
"Ta, have you heard everything?" Keyan stood up to the angry girl.
"Yes, I heard everything ! Why, Key ? Just keep me in your heart a little. I love you, forget Valonia like she's forgotten you." Tita's tears slowly flowed slowly representing her hurt feelings.
Keyan dropped his body on the sofa. He rubbed his face rough. "All my fault, I gave you hope. Without me realizing everything was just a form of my impingement for being disappointed at Jasmine's refusal."
"Solve your problems, one thing you both need to remember. Valonia has nothing to do with your problems ! Don't drag him into this matter, he doesn't know anything !" Alvan spoke firmly and then left the room.
Keyan was silent as well as Tita. A moment later the girl cried out a voice expressing her feelings. Should ? The pain he got again.
"Why give me hope ? if you destroy it yourself, Key !" Tita sat weakly on the cold floor. He no longer thinks about his wife.
"I'm sorry, Ta. For years I hated it but the feeling was still there, I tried hard to forget it by learning to accept you. But all in vain I remembered it more and more. She was my first love. But I'm forgotten, Ta ! It hurts." Keyan could no longer hold back the tears that tried to tear down his defensive walls.
"Forget him, Key. I'm begging... Our engagement is just a few days away. Don't ruin all that." Tita pleaded with him to keep the engagement going.
Keyan raised his face, then said with great confidence. "Ta, I'm sorry. I can't continue our engagement. I'm guilty, let me tell our family. I'm being reckless."
Tita's body was trembling, her tears were suddenly dry. His face was chaotic with a blank and hollow look. Happiness on the verge of the eyes is gone. The happiness he shared with his friends simply vanished. A few minutes into silence, the girl moved from her spot. He stepped out without looking at Keyan. Tita walked out of Keyan's room without a sound and tears.
Seeing that, Keyan cleaned his face in a hurry. Then we followed Tita. He ignored people's looks at him. Keyan also did not make the call of Johan's father who saw him running towards the elevator. Arriving below, Keyan breathed a sigh of relief Tita came with the driver.
The girl's car left the office. At the same time, Keyan went straight to the basement, now the goal is Ren'cafe. He had to meet Varen and ask, why did Jasmine forget him ?
...----------------...
"How, Tita?"
Alvan immediately threw a question. Keyan sat down and took a deep breath. The three men saw her eyes puffy, they were sure that Keyan had finished crying.
"We might go home or go back to his office. I've finished it." Keyan answered without hesitation and stared one by one at the table.
"How do you deal with your family after making this decision ? I'm sure Tita told Om Anton." Alvan felt sorry for the love story of his best friend.
"I'll face it." Keyan replied firmly. "Ren, I'm sorry for my attitude at the time, I was carried away by emotions" he said sincerely to Varen.
"I've forgotten about it, why cancel your and Tita's engagement plans? He must be disappointed and heartbroken. She's a nice girl, just can't control herself." Varen forgives Keyan and gives a little compliment to his ex-girlfriend.
"I love Jasmine."
Varen turned to Keyan and looked at him flatly. "Loving Valonia you must be prepared to oppose your family."
"What do you mean?"
Keyan and Alvan looked at each other. Then look back at Varen who was looking towards Levin. There's a story they don't know.
"Tell me, Ren. Once Keyan finds out let him decide. Keep choosing Jasmine or her family." Levin spoke up.
Varen nodded, why keep it again. Oh ! Valonia Jasmine had forgotten too.
"Five years ago... Your father met Valo not long after, your mother also came to see him on a different day."
...----------------...
Flashback...
Valonia goes with Varen to the cafe because she is bored at home. While waiting for her cousin to work, Valonia Jasmine helps serve the visitors. Of the many visitors, there is someone ordering coffee and ask to be delivered by Valonia. The girl did not mind, she happily did her job.
"Excuse me, Sir. Here's your order, enjoy." Valonia placed the cup carefully.
"Jasmine's Valony."
Hearing her full name mentioned, Valonia reflexively turned her eyes to the man sitting with a sharp look at her.
"You know my name, sir." Valonia smiled stiffly. His hand grabbed the tray and held it to his chest.
A thin smile was seen on the lips of this middle-aged man. Her netra looked at the thin smoke that was billowing from within the glass. "You're an accomplished girl and I'm proud there's a student as smart as you in my foundation." The middle-aged man grabbed the coffee cup, blew it slowly and drank it. "Sit down we need to talk." He put the glass back on the table.
It was an honor for Valonia to be able to sit at a table with a great person like Johan Ganendra. "Thank you, Mr. Johan. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you." he sat neatly and politely.
"Thank you, thanks. My son Keyan Ganendra is more studious. His grades improved after joining the group study with you and your friends." Johan's father said sincerely as he thanked him.
Valonia smile. "That's nothing, Keyan's a good kid and also smart just lazy to learn."
"You're right, so I'll send him to America after graduation. He's not alone Tita and Alvan will come with him. We agreed to send them there, but also to get Keyan and Tita closer. She was my girl of choice for Keyan's future companion. Besides him there is nothing appropriate for Keyan in terms of physical or material. So I ask you to persuade Keyan to accept my offer to go to America. I guess as a smart girl you'll understand." Johan's father deliberately pressed the thing that was the reason for Keyan's rejection.
That sentence that Valonia just heard. Breaking his feelings, who knew there was love growing in the quiet girl's heart. It feels like it just got slapped by reality.
What do you expect Valo. You're not worth it. Don't dream too high
Valonia clenched her hands and cursed herself.
"Yes, I understand." Reply firmly.
"Good ! This is what I like. Talking to smart people doesn't have to be hard to explain. Thank you for your help with Keyan. Just mention the nominal you want, enough to develop your parents' boutique, I'm sorry. You can call my secretary if you've counted how much money you need." Johan's father left the cafe in a haughty manner. Without knowing if Valonia was holding back crying over her humiliation.
