Pursuing the Love of Twins
Being Between Two Painful Gaps

"Land quiet Land..." Riki held Erland's hand which kept hitting the fist samsak in front of him. "...You need to calm down, think things through calmly. Not with emotions like this"

"Yes Land, we'll find a solution together and see what really makes Adriana like this" Beno also helps hold Erland who is really like a man of loyalty.

"Shut up!" Erland looked up at Beno. "...Never say his name. He hurt me so much. You two know how I planned our wedding after my graduation. But what did he do? He cut off our relationship before I even graduated"

"Yes, we know but if you don't calm down. Where can you think of everything, you have to be calm to be able to think of everything" Beno pulled Erland's arm to sit on the floor.

A face that was cold with sweat dripping down his face and body. Erland sits between Riki and Beno. Both faithful friends were with him under any circumstances.

"Land, actually I just want to know what he said on the rufftop?" Beno no longer dared to mention Adriana's name, for fear of being hit by Erland's jolt again.

"We have to know how Land is, if we just look at you angry like this, how can we help think about the solution"

Erland looked at her two best friends with long sighs. "He said he had to end it all with me because he didn't deserve to be next to me. Then he also said that it was his father who made him aware of our changes that were too far away"

Beno and Riki look at each other, they are trying to conclude the problem of this friend. Trying to straighten out what is going on with a cold mind, because here the situation is only sane. Because Erland is losing her sanity because it was decided by Adriana.

"Listening from what you said, it seems like Adriana is depressed. Maybe his father didn't approve of your relationship. In essence, Adriana feels inappropriate for you because her own father also said that" explained Riki, saying what was on her mind at the moment.

"So, it looks like Adriana decided you because she didn't get her father's blessing or maybe it's forbidden not to have any more contact with you" Beno co-chaired her friend's speech.

"It's impossible, if indeed he did not get the blessing of his father. But, every time I come to pick her up her dad is always friendly and kind to me. No. gabe. That's not possible"

"But Land, didn't Adriana say that her father made her aware of your differences and hers?" Ask Riki

"Yes, but I felt it was just her reason to leave me. Because I know how his father is, every time I pick him up he's always used to me. Doesn't look like me at all..." Erland stood up and took a drinking bottle beside Beno sitting down. "...Now I have to go, have to calm down. It turns out that all women are the same. No Yola, no Adriana. Both provide hope that cannot be accounted for"

Beno and Riki look at each other as Erland exits the gym. They know how disappointed Erland is when Yola leaves without saying goodbye to him, only to pursue an ideal. And now, Erland is back injured.

...⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐...

"Ri, why are you? From there was no focus. Hurt huh? If it hurts to go home, don't force it"

Adriana smiled wryly at the mother of the owner of the fried chicken shop where she worked. "Can Riana get permission today, ma'am?"

"Yes, gohome. Work must also be in a good state of heart"

"Thank you Ma'am, then Riana's permission today huh Ma'am"

"Yes, go"

Finally tonight Adriana does not work in a fried chicken shop. He chose to walk at night which was still crowded with vehicles, because the day was not too late. Walking away was Adrian's way of calming his wounded heart.

The conversation while on the rufftop again flashed in Adriana's memory. How could he finally say the end in his relationship with Erland. The word was so painful and Adriana felt very hurt when she said it.

But what can he do, when the situation and conditions seem to encourage him to do this. Ending everything. Happiness that has just begun must end this quickly because of unsupportive circumstances.

Can't keep pretending to be tough and okay anymore. Adriana sat on the ground with pliers hugging her knees. Hiding his face between his knees and hands. Adriana spilled her cries amid the noise of the vehicle occupants of the street.

God, I can't live without him. But circumstances do not want me to live with him.

Adriana is in the wrong position. It was as if in front and behind him was a deep abyss. Choosing to step forward, Adriaan will be injured because he never got the blessing of his own father. He has to wake himself up if he doesn't deserve Erland.

The world and life ahead will be very difficult for Adriana. And if he stepped back, then he would be deeply hurt by having to let go of the source of his happiness. Having to let go of the man she loves will hate her and may one day meet her surrogate.

Adriana was really in two painful chasms of her life.

Someone in the car was trying to refrain from going down and hugging the crying girl on the sidewalk. His heart was disappointed and not okay. Erland was afraid of not being able to temper her emotions when she met Adriana at this moment.

Seeing a motor that stopped beside Adriana, actually made Erland want to go down immediately. But his ego is a little high right now. Finally he just gripped tightly on the steering wheel, then returned to drive his car. Passed two men by the side of the road.

Adriana looked up when she heard the voice of the person calling her name. He wiped the remaining tears on his cheek. "Sir Pendy, what are you doing here?"

Pendy helps Adriana stand up, she rubs the edge of the girl's still watery eyes. "What's wrong? Why are you crying on the side of the road?"

Adriana did not answer, she just looked down with her hands squeezing each other. Tears came back, hitting his own hands. "No papa Brother"

"Is there a problem with Erland?"

Hearing Pendy mention the name of the man, made Adriana's defense completely collapse. She cried sobbing, she could not say anymore how she felt at this moment.

Seeing that, Pendy immediately carried Adriana into his arms. He let the girl's cry break in his arms. Letting Adriana let out all the turmoil in her heart with a cry.

"It's quieter now? Do you want a story with me? Or if you don't want to tell a story, don't papa. Now I'll take you home"

Adriana's cries began to subside, she released Pendy's embrace on him. Removing the rest of her tears. "Sister, just take me home"

"All right, let me drive you home. But if tomorrow or the day after tomorrow is not strong enough to hold it yourself, call me and tell me everything"

Adriana nodded, it felt like she was feeling very lucky to have a friend that she already considered like her own sister. How Pendy is so mature and understands her situation. Pendy never forces anyone to tell a story if the person is reluctant to tell her.

Pendy drove Adriana home on her bike. And on the way to Adriana's house, there was only silence between the two.
