Prison of Love
That's your business

#32

“Why are you coming?! You want to curse me unlucky for a lifetime?!”

I barely recognized the figure of the woman in front of me at this moment.

How could it be that within just a month Shinta's weight was reduced drastically like this?

He who was initially stable at 50 kg with a height of 165 cm, now may be reduced drastically touch the figure of 40 kg or even less.

I've never seen him this thin. His cheeks looked very thin and black was clearly visible under his eyes. His curly long hair has now been cut short as a shoulder.

A haircut that I hated very much.

“You're healthy, Ta?”

I don't know why that question came out of my mouth.

Whereas in the taxi, I had prepared a swear, a curse, and various threatening sentences for him.

But once I sat in front of her, looking at her face, my heart suddenly burst.

I feel sorry for her. He looks very tortured.

Shinta smiled cynically, she took out a cigarette from her pocket, “What do you care? Aren't you glad to see my life ruined like this?”

"Who do you think ruined your life?”

I smiled as I positioned myself to clearly see his face.

CTAK!

Shinta lit her cigarette. He smoked his cigarette and then exhaled it right in front of my face. He pulled the corner of his lips up, waiting for my reaction.

I closed my eyes but did not move a bit. Being friendly with him for three years made me memorize his habit out of his head during depression or loss of confidence.

And I'm pretty sure he's not emotional at the moment, but covering up guilt with a superior attitude that he's very good at.

“Do you take your medicine well?”

“Again I ask, what do you care, Naya?!”

“You don't like?”

“No need to tele-tele! Hurry up maki me, let out all your anger and then leave in front of me!!”

Shinta's breath is seen hunting. Hands shaking. From the look in his eyes it was clear that he had pleaded guilty. But Shinta is not his name if he easily admits his mistake. Obviously he would desperately endure the sadness he actually felt.

“I'm just here to see you, Ta. The matter of you slandering me or hating me, that's your business. I don't want to step over your business. My business is to really make sure that you're okay.

Oh, yeah, what about the tightness in the chest area? Already improving?”

Shinta laughed out loud. He coughed because he was choking on his cigarette smoke.

While cursing, he turned off the cigarette.

“This is what makes me hate you so much, Naya! You feel strong! You feel your heart is the most sincere! Though I know, you are weak and you are very vengeful!”

Have you been able to give up something that does not belong to you?”

The snide smile on Shinta's face suddenly disappeared. He looked me in the eyes and widened his eyes, “You insinuate me?!!”

“You feel insinuated?”

“Lack of you, Naya!!”

“What can you just anger and blame others, Ta? That only?”

Shinta who was already standing would pull my hijab straight into silence. He raised his hand and put it on the back of his head. Several times he walked around.

Shaking, his hand pulled the cigarette pack out of his pocket and then shouted cursing when he realized the contents were up.

“Shinta... If you spoke frankly to me, saying that you liked Andy back then, none of this would have happened, Ta. Whatever I feel at that time, I'm gonna back off and ask Andy to leave me.

You even remember when you said you didn't like Hengky. I cried coming here and was willing to let go of Hengky if it could get you back.

Friendship for me is no joke, Ta.

I'm not good at pretending to be nice or pretending to like someone. Aren't we the same, Ta? Isn't that one of the things that makes us friends?

Then why, why just because Andy you ruined your own life?”

There was no response from Shinta. His feet were busy moving, the heels of his feet were stomped many times to the floor. His eyes moved here and there.

“I'm sad to lose a best friend as good as you, Ta. I'm sad that you're wasting your life only on men who don't even deserve you.

That woman is precious, Ta. In religion, it is clear that God positions women very noble. With your abilities, you can even get a much better man than Andy.

Didn't you yourself ever say that a woman who doesn't need any recognition from others is the most feared individual on the planet?”

Shinta laughed softly. He pulled his hair and then pulled back a few times,

“Omong empty, Naya. You won't know what it's like to be me. One thing you should know, from the beginning I never considered you a friend, Naya! You who have been fools are fooled by me!”

“That's your business. Whatever you feel, what you do, it's your business.

What I say is from my point of view.

One thing you should know, Ta. There is no greater mistake than deceiving people who have trusted you.”

I grabbed my bag and stood up. There's no point in lingering here.

Seeing the life he lived now made me sure that I had won a landslide without the need to do anything.

Before leaving, I turned to her and tried to smile, “You know, Ta? Your heart will be fine again when you stop worrying about something that makes your chest tight, when you manage to give up something that is not destined for you.

Take care of your health, Ta. I pamit.”

“Hey! Tell your girlfriend! My father's business will not be destroyed even if he does not cooperate with his father's company anymore! We won't be destroyed that fast!!”

I shrug, “Tell me yourself, it's your business.”
