Prison of Love
Elder sister

#30

I can't remember how long I've been sitting in this chair. All I remember, Hengky several times asked me to talk but I didn't care. Andy who even sat next to me, didn't make me flinch.

It felt like my heart and mind were still refusing to believe what I had just heard and what my eyes had just seen.

I was trying to believe that this was a dream, that Shinta would never be able to do this to me.

But looking out it was getting dark, the sun was slowly coming down, making me realize, this is one of the surprises that God has brought me.

It was so surprising that it still made me stiff even though two hours passed.

It all started to make sense, why Shinta so disapproved of my relationship with Andy or with Hengky, Why she always never told me about her, why she forbade me to talk to her parents for so long.

But... If what he said was true, didn't I just know Andy a year ago?

What about our friendship two years ago?

Was he also playing? Or is he making plans?

Tears had been pouring out since Shinta left earlier.

I desperately refrained from crying in front of her. I don't want him to be more happy to see me cry pitifully.

His arrogance will grow and I will not let him feel victorious.

When Hengky slapped him earlier, I felt unwilling.

No. He's not even entitled to the slap. His mistake was so great that even a slap was not worth him getting.

What punishment is worthy of him?

I will think about this later after my feelings begin to calm down.

This disappointment is very troublesome.

If it was just sadness without being disappointed, maybe I would be fine immediately after crying for a while.

However, the domineering feeling at this moment was a feeling of disappointment. Very disappointed. Blessed are those who expect nothing, for there will be no remorse or excessive disappointment.

Yep. It's my fault why am I so hopeful for his creatures?

However, to be honest, I expected nothing more than what kind of attitude I gave her. That'sallthatis.

Ah, crap! ‘Only that’ I said? ‘Hanya’?

You forgot, Naya. If finding a true friend is easy, there may be no one who kills himself because he feels lonely or left behind.

Why can I forget such a basic thing?

I took a deep breath and changed my sitting position. To be honest, I felt sorry for Shinta.

Why would a man as smart as himself be able to act foolishly just for the sake of a man?

Shinta was right, she had no flaws. She is beautiful, her skin is exotic, smart, independent, and her parents look very capable of fulfilling anything she needs.

Then why, Shinta? Why are you acting so stupid?

Why exactly are you.. The person I consider my best friend is actually the one who laughs loudly behind my cries?

If Hengky did it or Andy or Nisa or whoever it was as long as it wasn't you, it wouldn't hurt me so much.

Suddenly the shadows as we laughed together, cried together, even protected each other if one of us was hurt, flashed like an old movie in my eyes.

I took a deep breath, then I exhaled slowly.

I continued to repeat until the tears that kept flowing I could control.

“Naya..” Hengky held my hand.

I tried to smile, “Ya?”

“You're calming down? Want to go home now?”

“Don't be forced if you still want to be here, Naya.!”

Andy who was sitting in the dining room chair, near the back porch, shouted at me.

I remembered Shinta's words again, Andy was not completely wrong. What Andy said at that time turned out not just looking for excuses. Whatever it is, mistakes are still mistakes. It cannot be justified under any pretext.

The effects of liver disease are amazing. The more heard, the more common sense and our hearts are round.

Whatever advantages we have, when the disease of the heart gnaws, destroyed all sanity and clarity of the heart.

When we realized, it was too late.

The most painful loss is the loss of the good people around us because of our inability to build the foundation to ward off liver disease.

Like Shinta at the moment.

At least I hope this is how he feels right now.

This villa does make anyone want to linger here. The sound of waves pounding, seeing the sunrise and sunset, also the sound of seagulls. I could spend hours just looking at the beach.

“I want to go home..”

“You sure?”

I'm nodding. I don't know what will happen when we stay together again. It seems like I can trust Hengky, but, come on. I won't go back in the same hole three times, will I?

“Okey... You still want to sit on the beach or want to go straight home now?”

“Can you sit there first?”

I pointed at the recliner on the back porch.

Hengky smiled. He nodded.

...-------------------------------------------------------------...

“Is the legal process still running?”

“Of course. Om Ferdinan will not let go of Fahri just like that.”

I turned to Hengky, “If Fahri is convicted by a state court, what about Shinta? Will he be arrested too? Will he also get a penalty too?”

“I make sure he will get it.”

Hengky pulled my hand then in her soft kiss, “Don't worry... God is Surprise, isn't He?”

The corner of my lips slightly raised, forcing to show a smiling expression.

“Don't worry your life will be lonely, Naya. There's me..”

“There I alsoaa...!” Andy who was sitting on the back porch stairs towards the beach sand blinked his eyes towards Hengky, Andy purposely said that to tease him.

"Don't provoke my emotions, Brother.”

“Pffttt....! HAHAHAHA....! Oh my goodness... so ticklish you called me ‘Kakak’...!”

Andy memegangi perutnya sambil terus tertawa.

Hengky's face flushed red, he looked wrong.

I'm laughing too. It was hard to hold back the laughter when he saw his face flushed in shame, not to mention his nose that was blooming a sign he was wrong.

“At least what Shinta said earlier there is a point.. I should have asked first at that time the same brother, not directly hit ajaa..”.

Hengky laughs. His hands clenched as if he was exemplifying his fist back then.

“Blow you at that time still feel good until now!”

“Eh? Seriously?”

“Iyaa.. here... try here.see nii,” Andy pointed at his right cheek.

I don't understand, Hengky foolishly complied. He approached Andy, examined his brother's face, then sure enough... Andy laughed out loud.

He even hit the floor of the staircase dissolved in his laughter.

Realizing to have been tricked, Hengky snorted in annoyance. He then jumped up to Andy.

The unprepared Andy immediately fell into the sand of the beach as Hengky jumped towards him. They seemed to punch each other, kick each other, and hit each other and then laughed together, lay their bodies on the sand of the beach, staring at the dark sky.

“Dark download. We go home yuk,” I shout towards them.

Hengky hurriedly woke up followed by Andy. He even still had time to kick Andy's leg and laugh while running, avoiding a reply from his brother.

I smiled a little. They've made up again. Hengky at least will not be emotional again when he heard the name Andy.

But, what about me?

What about my trauma?

Are my feelings starting to improve as well?

I walked first towards the car while Hengky was locking the door of the villa. Andy, who was walking beside me, turned his head and came closer to me,

“I have advice for you, Naya. Don't trust Hengky too much. What you are seeing right now, there is not yet half of its true nature.

To be honest, if you're with a really good guy, I don't have a problem.

But, Hengky? No one knows him better than me.”

Without waiting for any answer from me, Andy waved his hand and walked towards his car.

I exhaled while looking at Hengky who was smiling, walking towards me,

What other surprises has the Universe prepared for me?
