Zalfa turned his gaze to the floor so that he would not look into Faisal's watery eyes. He remembered how they built their long-established love and dreamed of building a household. He knew how Faisal was feeling right now.
“Forget, Faisal. Forget all that. Everything is just the past. I'm already married. Ii'm sorry. The terrible incident between me and Arkhan, the man who is now my husband, was an accident that made me have to be his wife. This is not all my wish. Many things that you will not be able to understand.”
“I don't need your explanation about the reason for your marriage to Arkhan;. I just want you to know that your marriage doesn't change anything from me. Since long ago, you were all I wanted, Zalfa. You are all I hope to be the wife and mother of my children. There is a lot of hope that I have built up inside you. And it's just you that I love.”
“No, Faisal. Save your feelings and bury them deeply. Our love can not be united again after a series of events that change the situation. There are many walls that make us unable to return to the way we used to.”
“Why did you give up so easily? Have you forgotten our expectations? Have you forgotten the history we built for the future of both of us?” Faisal looks fiery. His hope was still so great in those eyes. “So much I've fought to get back to Jakarta. And if it wasn't for the hope left here, I probably wouldn't have recovered so quickly from the ship's accident that made my feet unable to move for a long time.”
Zalfa held his breath. And take it off when there is a pause to breathe.
“Maybe a lot of unimportant things happened. But only one of the most important things you need to know. Only one thing you need to know, until now, my feelings for you have not changed. And this sentence will continue to be repeated.”
Zalfa. Oh my God, those words are soothing.
“You and I are wrong if I still have to discuss the past when I already have a husband.” That sentence was so easy to slip out of Zalfa's mouth.
“You said yourself that between you and Arkhan was just an accident, it was a mistake. Then why do you still want to hang on to him? Do you love her? Has Arkhan's presence really changed everything in you?” Faisal took a long breath. He wasn't sure if Zalfa was so easy to let go.
Faisal's question made Zalfa's heart skip a beat. He snerediri did not know how he felt about Arkhan. Whether there is love, or even just a sense of want to be protected.
“It's not a love thing, Faisal. But the events that took place have made a thick bulwark between us, asking that we end our relationship. I'm no longer the Zalfa I used to be after Arkhan touched me even out of wedlock, your mother doesn't approve of our relationship anymore, I'm now also already someone's wife. All of this is enough reason for us to bury memories.”
Zalfa was speechless at Faisal's words, how deep and deeply touching. Zalfa was eager to say Faisal's words, but his heart refused when his tongue was about to confirm until the word agreed it was just hanging on the tip of the tongue. Like someone forbade him to say that.
“No, Faisal. Forget that! Forget everything! Plis, please forgive me and start your new life.” Zalfa went into the house and closed the door. The only way to be able to stop the conversation with Faisal was to close the door.
Zalfa leaned back behind the door, her tears rushing. Is it right to make a decision?
Zalfa clung her ears to the door trying to catch the sound outside. Yet deserted. Zalfa headed to the window and peeked out. He saw Faisal walking with slow steps to his car. The man turned his head for a long time towards the house before getting into his car.
Zalfa closed his eyes for a moment. It was sad to see Faisal.
“I'm sorry, Faisal,” Og Zalfa.
Zalfa turned his back when Faisal's car went out of sight.
