After a long time, I finally set foot in this place again. A lot of good memories of me with Kevin happened in this place. When we were lovers.
"Thank you" I said as Kevin opened the door and told me to go in first.
This room still looks the same, as it did before I left. Small kitchen on the right. The glass flower vase looks still perched there. This time the flower was empty. In the past, I was the one who always filled the vase with Lily flowers bought by Kevin.
Kevin took off the bag that was still hanging on my shoulder. Then put it in the closet on the left side, which is located next to the bathroom wall.
I walked to a room that had caught my attention. A room we used to make a living room. A place where we often joke. I looked at the whole room. Not only the layout is still the same, but all the items are still lying in the same place. A gray fur sofa, a bookcase containing some of my favorite novels as well as an aquarium inhabited only by two small fish. This time the fish looked bigger than before. Even the photos of the two of us still hang on the same wall.
"Why still hang it here-you should take it off and throw it away." I said. Look at that photo. A photo taken while we were on holiday in Paris. We were both very happy at the time. It is clear in this photo because we both smile widely.
"I'm not going to throw away anything about the two of us" Kevin said.
"Alia must be angry if she sees it."
"Can't you stop saying her name, Ly?"
"Why?"
"I don't want to talk about anyone else, other than you and me."
"He's your wife, Mas. Not anyone else."
"I don't care, Ly. In writing she is my wife. But I never considered her a wife. Even since we were married until now I've never touched her."
As Alia's older sister, I should be angry. Because Kevin played it. But I felt relieved and happy. That means Kevin still loves me completely.
Kevin approached me. Turn my body to stand face to face with him. He held both my hands. I'm staring.
"Can we go back to what we used to be, Ly?" tanyakanya.
"I love you and I'm sure you still love me" he added.
"I still love you, Mom. But we can't go back to what we used to." I took off his grip. Then turn around, turn back on him.
"Why can't it be, Ly. We both love each other."
"You're married, Mas. And the one you married my sister to. It is impossible for a man to marry two brothers at once. That can't happen."
"I know, Ly. And I'll never make you both my wives."
"Then what did you mean, Mom. Are you trying to make me your mistress?"
"I never thought of it that way, Ly. You're not my mistress. You are the owner of my soul and body. Wait a few more months. After Alia gives birth I will divorce her. I'll marry you, Ly."
"Masabodo with people's responses, Ly. We who undergo. We who feel. Why think about what others say."
"But ...."
"Stop thinking about other people, Ly. You have to think about your own happiness. Our happiness, Ly."
"But I'm scared." Yeah, I'm afraid of a lot of things when that happens. Of course Mom and Dad will be against our relationship. Especially Alia. I don't know what he would do to me if we were both married after he got divorced. Not to mention the talk of neighbors and also close relatives. Just imagine it feels like I can't. On the other hand I love Kevin. I don't want to lose him or her love. I want to live happily with him.
Kevin pulled my body, took me in his arms. "Don't be afraid, Ly-I'm with you" he said.
The ringing of the cell phone surprised both of us. Kevin reached into his pants pocket. Take a flat object that had vibrated earlier. PAPA. The writing on the screen. Kevin took off his embrace. Slide the green phone handle icon to the right, with one of his thumbs. Then stick the flat object to his ear.
Kevin talked to his father for a few minutes. After that came back to me who was unpacking the contents of the suitcase.
"Papa told me to come to the house" he said after sitting his body next to mine.
"Don't make it too long to wait."
"You wanna come?" Ask Kevin.
"Mama would be happy to see you coming. You haven't stopped by the house in a long time, Ly."
"I'd like to come along - but it would feel weird if I came with you, Mas. Tomorrow or the day after, I'll visit your Papa and your Mama."
"Well then I'll go first" said Kevin. He kissed my forehead for a moment, then got up and hurried away.
"Be careful on the road" I said as Kevin was in his shoes. The man did not answer. But I could hear his voice as he closed the door.
After Kevin's departure, I was pensive. Thinking about our forbidden relationship. I convinced myself repeatedly. That what I did was not wrong. We both love each other. Yes, I'm sure love will never go wrong. Just waiting for time. Everything will return to how it was. Kevin and I will be back together with a happy ending.
