Possibly Back?
Chapter 39 Sesal
What has happened that we cannot avoid? Even if regret seeps in the heart. However, the soul mate has been set by the Divine.

One year later
One year already Rena took a leave of absence from college. During that time he lost contact with his friends because he was too busy working.
Maybe only one or two friends at the campus are still occasionally contacted to ask the news. They are Aisha and Miss.
From Aisyah, Rena knows that Lala also quit college. In addition to the problems with Aisyah, it turns out that Lala also has other problems that make her stop continuing her studies. The problem is related to both parents who decided to divorce. The divorce was allegedly due to the presence of a third person in their relationship.
With a pounding chest, like the mood experienced by people who just entered college, Rena stepped towards her campus. He was not a new student, but it was a year
just make it like a new student.
Many pairs of unfamiliar eyes glanced at him. Rena herself was only able to look down to avoid the eyes filled with curiosity until the voice of someone who was familiar enough to call her name.
"Rena, wait!" sahut Aisha.
"Aisha," Rena turned her body to face Aisha. They also embrace each other to release long-buried longing.
"It's nice to see you back. How are you, healthy?" ask Aisyah.
"Alhamdulillah, as you can see, I am fine,"' replied Rena.
"Good, but.
"But what? Go, say! Don't like to make people curious !" sahut Rena's.
"You're getting fat" said Aisyah smiling.
"Yeee, kirain what's wrong? But yes, you know where?" ask Rena
"This, from your cheeks that add more chubby," replied Aisyah as she pinched Rena's cheek.
"Aw, ice pain. Yes, you are, passing! New friends enter have been persecuted like this," said Rena.
"Eh, sorry, sorry, I really miss you" Aisyah said with a smile on her face.
"Oh yeah, means this semester you're still in the 5th semester huh, Na?" ask Aisyah
"You could say so. But not really," replied Rena.
"What do you mean?" ask Aisyah.
"My semester is not clear, because you know that in semester 3 yesterday I took a lot of courses in semester 5, so now just take the rest, so now just take the rest, while the rest of the credits I use to take courses in this 7th semester," said Rena.
"O, that. Then we can still class dong. Keep taking all these 7th semester Na?" ask Aisyah.
"Alhamdulillah, have taken all. So, now I'm a 5th semester child and 7th semester" replied Rena.

Lecture that day was finished, Rena began to feel the difference in the campus. All three of their Asian campus lights, which usually go back and forth around the campus, are now no longer visible. Yes, of course, because this year they have finished with their studies and earned a bachelor's degree.
How's he doing now, huh?
Rena's mind went back to Alan. The figure that for a year was secretly still missed by him.
Rena came down the stairs with a limp body. There was not the slightest spirit and passion that seemed from that sweet face to the brim of a human figure he knew appeared past the place he was walking.
Is it true what I saw just now? It's like I saw Brother Alan. Ah, but where possible, he's graduated. Or maybe he became an assistant lecturer at this campus. (Think Rena)
"Check!" sahut Aisyah surprised Rena
"Oh, Iis you've got it!" sahut Rena when he saw the sudden appearance of Aisyah.
"Some of you keep on hanging out there. What else do you think?" ask Aisyah.
"No, I was like seeing someone who looks like Alan's sister through here" said Rena.
"Oh that, it could have been Alan's sister" said Aisyah.
"Well, shouldn't he graduate? Then why is he still pacing here?" ask Rena.
"And there is still a Goddess, maybe she is here to pick up the Goddess," replied Aisyah.
Right, I forgot, Alan's sister is the Goddess' boyfriend. Maybe it was so good to see him, I forgot about it. (Batin Rena sad)
"Yuk, Na, we're home!" bring Aisyah.
"Hayu," said Rena following Aisha's invitation.

Six months have passed, now Rena is in the final semester. Although, if using the lecture system normally, Rena should have just entered the 6th semester, but because of Rena
classified as a smart student, he has completed his 6th semester in semester 4 yesterday, before he took a leave of absence. Now all that remains are a few courses.
In this semester, Rena is also busy with the process of submitting proposals for his script later. Therefore, he was busy pacing back and forth to the library room in search of materials to
the script will be made.
The library room hasn't changed much. The room was almost the same condition as the conditions a year ago before Rena took leave. The room witnesses Rena accidentally kissing Alan's cheek. Every memory that came to light Rena could only blush in shame.
Rena also chose several books and thesis students who have graduated to be used as material for writing his script proposal. However, a thesis with a very familiar name was able to steal his attention. The opening of sheet by sheet thesis belongs to Alan Bagaskara.
Rena seemed transfixed when her name was written in the preface, as a friend who provided passion and motivation for Alan in the preparation of his script. Later, Rena also read a passage of words written by Alan in gold ink.
In this article, there is one sentence that attracts the attention of Rena. The sentence reads :
~Memories can bind souls separated by destiny~ (Alan)
“Can memories interwoven between us bind our souls?” rena's murmur involuntarily let out a crystal-clear fall from her eye pellet.

The panicked cries of some students from the lower floor so echoed in the ears of Rena who was still in the library room. It attracted Rena to approach the origin of the sound.
Downstairs there is a man holding a knife to the Goddess' neck. The man seems to be out of his mind.
"Stop all of you! Or I'm not afraid to stick this knife in his neck!" it was the man's scream that made some of the people who were watching straight away from him, however
not with Alan.
Bugh
Secepat kilat Alan melakukan gerakan yang membuat laki-laki itu jatuh tersungkur. Sebuah perkelahian terjadi di antara meraka. Alan berhasil menjauhkan pisau yang hampir saja menancap ke
leher Dewi saat ia sedang berusaha mengambil paksa Dewi dari laki-laki itu. Namun, naas bagi Alan, pisau itu justru melukai lengannya hingga mengeluarkan banyak darah.
"Aww," cried Alan in pain.
Hearing Alan's cries of pain Rena's heart was moved to help him. He then took out his handkerchief which he kept from his bag. However, he had not been able to dress Alan's wound. Suddenly the Goddess fainted from not being strong looking at the blood that kept flowing from Alan's arm. Seeing the Goddess lying on the floor, without caring for the wound on his arm, Alan immediately carried the Goddess and took her away from that place.
Before Alan left the place, his eyes met Rena's eyes.
Various feelings were mixed as the two pairs of eyes met.
Alan immediately turned his gaze away from Rena's gaze. He continued his steps to take Dewi to the hospital.
Rena could only watch that scene. Shown as Alan with a face full of anxiety carried the Goddess away from
that spot. There was sadness, pain, anxiety, and disappointment that enveloped his heart.
"Ah, thank God, Brother Alan managed to save his wife," said Aisyah who stood beside Rena.
"My wife?" asked Rena surprised.
"Yes, sorry, I forgot to tell you that a month after Alan won his bachelor's degree, he proposed to Dewi and married her" Aisyah replied.
Be married? So, Alan and Dewi are married. And this is the end of the story with Brother Alan (inner Rena).
When a sense of disappointment and sadness stopped in Rena's heart, he still could not believe that the time of one year had changed the destiny of his life.

Is this the end of Rena and Alan? Will time bring them back?
