Gazing at the grand building, Gunadh envisions what kind of preparations Nandita's adoptive parents have made for tomorrow's engagement.
His little heart whispered not to be selfish.
How much shame will be borne by both families, if the event is not implemented? Should he do this? Could Nandita be receiving her presence?
Suddenly his sense of inferiority appeared, dousing the flames of spirit that he ignited since departing from Indonesia.
His confidence to take Nandita's hand back, so that he can hold it now began to waver.
The man's gaze was empty.
The loyal taxi driver accompanied him since the afternoon, can see the despair reflected in the look on Gunadh's face.
"This is sir," the driver handed the sealed mineral water to his passenger.
Gunadh turned his head, grabbed the water that was thrust for him, with a stiff smile.
"Thank you sir" he said.
"Mmm sir,"
"Yes sir?"
"Well, do you think I should go down?" With doubt Gunadh asked.
Forced to share his anxiety with others, because he really feels confused at this time.
The driver looked at Gunadh deeper.
"What does your heart want?" He asked, making Gunadh's brows furrow.
Didn't he ask the driver, because he was confused about his own desires?
"Whisper the heart, and the ego is different sir. We often worry, because we cannot distinguish which is the will because of the ego, and which is the will of the conscience." Obviously the driver.
"I don't feel right for him at the moment sir. Looking at the venue for tomorrow's event, I'm sure their family must have invited a lot of people and not just any guests. Do I have the right to embarrass the family? And again, did my fiancee accept my presence coming to ruin their event?" Gunadh.
"But the other side of my heart, wants Nandita back in my arms. It didn't feel willing to let him fall in another man's arms."
Gunadh, the flat face, now shows his weak side, even to strangers he just knew.
"Sometimes what we want, not necessarily it's best for us sir. Often everything we do, just to quench our ego thirst."
"Think of the bad good, every action you will take. When this concerns two humans, it doesn't matter that master fights to the point of winning. But this already involves a big family. Even though master succeeded, what kind of future effects it would have, it should also be thought of." The advice of the man about fifty years old.
"So I have to give up sir?" Ask.
The man smiled.
"It's all back on your own sir, want to budge please, want to fight also it's your right. I'm just giving you a view from my point of view."
"Please take me to hotel xx sir." Gunadh said weakly.
In the end, he had to give up. Although he has so far stepped up, but the circumstances and reality presented made him give up.
'dear, may you be happy with the path you have chosen. I'm sorry, I gave you new hopes and promises I can keep when you're tired of waiting. Happy crocheting story with her who is more deserving. I lost, baby. No longer able to grab the hand that I took too long to let go of it.' he murmured inwardly.
Gunadh gave many tips to the driver who accompanied him from afternoon to night. Ask the taxi driver was willing to drive and pick him up while he was in the country of the two continents.
"Thank you very much, sir. Whenever you need me, just call. I'll drive you wherever you want." The tired-clad happy smile, which the half-century man showed, passed on the same to Gunadh.
"Together sir, thank you for delivering and listening to my sad story." Speak with a bitter smile.
The driver nodded.
"Everything has become a decision above. Just pray to God, so that you rediscover a figure like your fiancee. Later, when you find it, never be removed again. If necessary immediately take it to the pelaminan so as not to be seized by another man." Said the man while chuckling.
Gunadh also laughed lightly, taking off a little burden on his heart.
"Then I say I'll go home, sir." The driver withdrew.
Gunadh returned to his hotel room. Without turning on the room lights, he let the dark of night embrace his gloomy body and heart.
In the darkness he pondered what he and Nandita had been through.
And he realized, so much love and understanding that the girl shared for him, but often he doubted the girl. A lot of injuries that he has inflicted, making him realize maybe he is not the best for Nandita.
'let time be turned, I will not let doubt come to me, and question your every step. I will not let you fight alone, facing the gravel and thorny grass in the relationship we both live in. But it's all happened. It's not just your feet that I let bleed, but your heart I also made a gaping wound. May you be happy, dear, with your choice at this time. Sorry for failing to keep your trust. Goodby. I don't know when we'll meet again.' The groan in the heart.
Gunadh's regret and sadness brought him to dreamland.
Letting the worms in his stomach thrash for fill, but hunger never comes.
Even though from morning until night, only coffee and tea and small meals only stop in the stomach.

Nandita resigned when early in the morning, the make up artist team had disturbed her sleep.
His eyes clearly showed sadness that was still struggling, reluctant to leave his days.
But now he smiled sincerely, welcoming the presence of professional people who would turn him into Cinderella.
'from now on there will be no more crying, for the past. I've shed tears of sadness, let last night be the end of all the drama we're playing. I'm no longer your woman. Today, I will grab another firm hand as my place of leaning. To make that man the only one who deserves my love, the love that has not grown, also my longing for the future. You and the memories of the past, will only be a complement to my future story.' Inner Nandita said with determination.
Not wanting her to let the crying come back to greet the two mother beads, who yesterday hugged her tightly and asked herself to let go of all the pain of the past.
"Tomorrow, you are the new Nandita dear. Don't bring those painful memories into your mind. Simply, put it in the corner of your deepest heart. All the wounds, tears, disappointments, that have ever been present in your life, save. Lock the meeting, don't remember it anymore." Eby, who gave birth to her, came to attend her engagement to Aslan.
Mother Santi and Darma's father were picked up by Bian and Louis, to his town. Flying across the continent, to see her engaged to Aslan.
