Rainbow for Aqila
Flavour Circle

From behind the window of the cafe that was slightly dewy due to the rain out there, someone sat in silence watching how drop by drop the water came down on the street, letting his coffee that was reflecting the hot smoke begin to cool as it was untouched, the man pulled his hair then let out a long sigh

Gempano glanced at the mobile phone on the table, no message from Renata since yesterday or rather after their burning on the river bank. Gempano was confused with his own heart and mind, he was in a dilemma now and was on a difficult path

If he says he loves Renata, he will say yes. A really uncertain answer. If asked what was the reason for approaching the girl first, then he will answer because of interest, like the attitude of the girl who is what she is and she is comfortable with the girl. He had already convinced her to choose him as a couple, but her parents had not said a definitive answer either, and yesterday made it really feel like she was losing her way

His mind grew branched due to his arrival yesterday at Bramadja Hospital when his mother called on the day Naufal's wedding took place, apparently his father was there too

They call on the grounds that there's something important to talk about. But when he got there, he just sat there silent without knowing what the people were talking about, and then when he got home his parents told them they wanted him to come yesterday

"What do mom and dad really want to talk about? I'll call Gempano to come home from Naufal's wedding?" He asked when they arrived home at half an hour

"Son, we want to say something important to you" Madam Ratih grabbed her only son's hand to sit on their living room couch

"Something that matters what buk? Until mom told me to come home early from Naufal's show?"

"What do you think of Fadila?" Gempano slightly raised an eyebrow at the question his mother had asked

"How's what?"

"She is a good woman, sholehah and understands religion by. We plan to match you with him" Mr. Adri who heard his wife's words just massaged his temple slowly

"Did you know I have Renata?" Gempano asked, his voice starting to change dislikes

"Son, I only want the best for you, a woman who understands religion and can be your life partner"

"But what about Renata?" Gempano could at least once hear his mother's voice weaken like that, his mischievous self out there, he was still a devoted child to parents

"Have you promised her? Have you made her a boyfriend? Have you come to propose to her parents? Haven't you?" Gempano was silent, he had not done that. But he feels he is the cruelest man if he accepts this match, he was with Renata all this time but married someone else?

"Think carefully, son, if you agree that your father will come to tell you what you mean to Kyai Husain" Gempano looked at Mr. Ardi who was silent, his father tended to be more supportive of whatever his decision was as long as it was good

Gempano was silent thinking, if he chose Renata but without his mother's blessing how is their married life?, But if he chose Fadila, how does Renata's heartache?, love can indeed grow over time, but if he chooses Fadila, how does Renata's heartache, he may fall in love with Fadila after they get married, but to forget Renata is difficult, especially the woman must hate him. But if his mother doesn't approve of this, what can she do?

"Well, Gempano agreed to choose him" Ratih's mother smiled happily, while Mr. Adri just smiled thinly, Gempano tried to keep smiling, even though his heart was filled with worry, guilt and a sense of extraordinary chaos

"I'm sorry Ren" he murmured softly

If outside he shows the humorous side and bar barnnya, but if at home he immediately transformed into a calm man who dutiful to parents

.

Gempano did not contact him at all after their debate on the edge of the lake, yesterday at Naufal's wedding, the man was actually impressed and did not greet him, when Renata took the initiative to say hello, he actually disappeared, he just disappeared, just go home

"Why are you telling me to trust you if what comes out of your mouth is nothing more than nonsense?" He mumbled, his tears dripping

"Why are you telling me to wait if there's no effort and hope you're leaving behind?"

"You told me to be patient like Aqila but you yourself can't be a rainbow forever like Naufal"

"You only came first, approached me and accompanied me on my hardest day when I lost Aqila, but why are you now like this?"

"What's wrong with you Gempano? Has your heart chosen another woman? And why is it stupid that I believe your words"

"Infranquired? Getting married soon? What are those words? Just bullshit!" Renata vented her frustration at the rabbit doll she held, Gempano's gift on her twenty-fifth birthday yesterday, where men promised her nonsense to marry her

"I HATE YOU, GEMPANO!" his voice was obscured by the torrent of rain, he deliberately left the window open, so that every rain he remembered the tears that came out today just because of love nonsense

.

Behind the garden of the hospital window, Fadila did the same thing, staring at the rain falling, the atmosphere of the room was quiet because his ashes were asleep and um permission to go out for a while

His heart could not understand now, deep down he could not lie, a little pain is still left considering the man he had loved in silence had chosen another woman as his mother. Now coupled with the arrival of a man who was none other than Naufal's friend, Umi Zahwa had asked how his view of the man, he had to answer what? Should he ask Naufal? Wouldn't the man already be brave enough to hand it over to the right man

But according to Fadila, Gempano is the type of humorous man, yesterday the man made his ashes laugh more, so he unconsciously also smiled to see it

"Gebel"

Three people are stuck in a cycle of difficult feelings, their hearts must choose love or blessing, willingly let go and let go after being together, or even maintain with the name of love

The circle of feeling ensnared each of them, some were overwhelmed with guilt and worry, some were overcome with heartache and disappointment at being considered a game and given false promises, he said, and someone tried to convince his heart that this time he had to fall in love with the right person, so that the pain did not recur
