NOT PERPETRATORS
About the Ex

While in the car, they talked to each other. Occasionally joking. Nessa is quite adaptable. He is a very nice person. Unlike me, who just kept quiet, except for Nessa and Bastian, who asked me to talk.

"Hey! What if we play honesty games," Nessa asked.

"Honesty game?" Mas Bastian muttered while controlling the steering wheel of his car.

"Yes, so we're going to say something that has to do with honesty. What if the theme is about ... ex!" nessa's Proposal.

"So, how's it going?" Bastian asked.

"Because we have four people, so just go ahead, yes, who is appointed, then he should say something related to the former. The figure of the ex, things related to the ex, or anything, whatever! This is about the ex!" obviously Nessa.

"Well, who started it?" Bastian agreed.

Nessa's counting the date, now the 14th. So, Nessa counts from Bastian's mas, then me, then Dimas, then Nessa. Sequentially forming a zig-zag, starting from the seat of Bastian mas. Nessa began counting, where the number 14 stopped.

"14! I'm alone!" he said with a pretended annoyed facial expression. His thin lips were raised, forming a face that looked cute.

"Come, you first!" bastian's orders while glancing at Nessa.

Nessa was silent for a moment, then said, "Ex." His face turned serious.

We are getting ready to listen to the definition of the former from Nessa's deepest heart.

Nessa sighed, then said, "I don't have an ex. So, I don't know, and I can't define it."

Suddenly Bastian laughed, followed by the sound of Dimas laughter. I almost laughed, but I held back. He's the one who made the theme of this game about 'former', but he himself doesn't know, what the ex is. Very humorous.

"You really don't have an ex-boyfriend?" ask Bastian while holding back a laugh.

"I've only liked one person since I was a kid. And he's never told me love." Now his face turned gloomy. I watched from the middle view of the cabin. He's down. "I like him a lot. I love her so much. And I love her so much" Nessa said, carving a smile on her father's face.

I noticed Dimas' facial expression was uncomfortable. What does Nessa mean by Dimas? But, where is it possible! Don't they love each other? They are engaged anyway.

"Although, I'm always sure. We'll love each other. He will repay my love. He'll know that, my love for him is so vast, as vast as the universe. There is no reason not to love him. I've been keeping my heart to him all this time. I reject a lot of men, just because of it. I closed my heart tightly for her. I ... I really want to live with her." Nessa said with all her feelings.

Mas Bastian fell silent to Nessa's words. His facial expressions seemed to understand one by one Nessa's heart. What's the real difference between Nessa and Dimas? Don't they love each other? However, the two seemed very harmonious.

Dimas was silent without a word. While I catch the look of sadness on Nessa. She's the perfect woman. Anyone he wanted, even men, would have a hard time resisting.

"No one can resist a woman as beautiful as you. And if anything, he's the dumbest man on earth. Has wasted the sincerity of your love." The words came out of my mouth.

"Unfortunately, he still expects his past." Nessa said again.

I was stunned, all silent. Including the Bastian. He looked at Nessa with pity. Maybe he thought the same about me, too, about the relationship between Nessa and Dimas.

"You're the perfect woman, Nessa. If anyone hurts you, he's not just a fool. He will definitely get karma, because he can hurt a woman as good and beautiful as you!" Bastian finally spoke.

Nessa with teary eyes, said again, "Hey! Did I ruin all of you're happy?" Followed by his light laughter. "Come on! Now it's ... em's turn? Who yeah?"

Nessa seemed to be trying to melt the atmosphere. But I know that in his mind he was still sad.

Bastian was silent for a moment. Focus on the steering wheel, saying, "I've dated a few women" she said with a proud face.

"Since Junior High School to High School, only one former most beautiful. She is beautiful, has a charming smile. He's very attentive to me. He always entertained me too. He's the ex that's making it harder for me to move on." Bastian continued.

"Will this not ruin the mood? You guys, aren't you going to carve out a romantic getaway? Why discuss this kind of thing!" Dimas suddenly interrupted Bastian's words.

"What's wrong with talking about the past? Our goal is the future. What's wrong with remembering a little? Come, Dimas! Let us reminisce for a moment" said Nessa.

"The future will forever defeat the past! Because we're stepping forward, not backward!" nessa continued with a little emotional.

"Continue! This is not a problem at all. Nessa's right! The future will always defeat the past." I also talk.

"All right, I continue." Mas Bastian sighed deeply. His face became more serious. "We've met since High School. He's my underclassman. She's the cutest girl I think. He was cheerful, beating my quiet personality. He often makes cakes for me. Until one day, he came to my house."

Mas Bastian took a deep breath. His face changed, as if he was holding back the pain. "Just like on my 17th birthday. He delivered birthday cake to my house." Mas Bastian's face turned sad. "He was afraid of the dark, but he said he was more afraid of losing me. He's scared out at night and scared of ghosts. But to give me that birthday cake. He ventured to deliver it himself, right at 12 p.m."

"Well, this is exciting! Of course he loves you so much!" Nessa mutters.

"Unfortunately, right on my birthday. We broke up!" mas Bastian.

I keep listening to him. Dimas put on an expression not happy to hear Bastian's story about his former past. While Nessa, enthusiastically continue to urge Bastian to tell stories.

"Continue! It's so exciting!" Nessa.

"He called me. Asking me to get out of the house. And when I'm going out. My mom and dad opened the door."

Mas Bastian said that his parents never liked his girlfriend. I don't know what the reason is. They have always strongly opposed Bastian's relationship with his girlfriend. However, Bastian and the girl have promised to always be together.

"My mom kicked my boyfriend out! He slapped my girlfriend's cheek, in front of my eyes. Mom even threw the cake, threw it away. Girlfriend's crying. I'm in shock myself, with what I see." Bastian's eyes are glazed.

"What a pity that girl. Then, what happened?" Nessa asked again.

"My mom pushed him all out. Expel her. Asking my girlfriend not to come and not to be in touch with me anymore. I, who was trying to get out to help him, was intercepted by my father. I keep on revolting. But dad hit me instead. Dragged me into the room. I don't know exactly what causes my mother and father's hatred for my boyfriend. We love each other. Mom and Dad are so selfish!"

Hearing Bastian's words, there was a little tightness in my chest. So much for my husband's past. He never told me about this before. Ever since we got married, we rarely talked about the past. Not expecting, mas Bastian save this sad story. Who's the girl? Could it be that Bastian still loves her? In fact, after living with me?
