Reaching Hope
Chapter 59 Love in Three

A week had passed, right on Sunday as planned they would go on vacation. After their morning prayers to Malang City, they decided to rent a villa. The cool atmosphere made their bodies fresh, the green scenery greatly spoiled their eyes.

"The vow here is very fresh, yes, it has been a long time I did not enjoy this atmosphere," said Andre, breathing deep air and letting out slowly.

"Obviously, since the death of your ex you've always locked yourself up. You've only wanted to be social since I knew Clara" Juan said.

"You're right, thank you for always supporting me. Thanks to you too I can open my heart again to a woman as good as Cindy, you are my savior Juan," Andre replied as he embraced his best friend.

"Ah usual, if I was in your position you would have done the same for me" Juan replied.

The men were still engrossed in chatting on the terrace while enjoying the cool morning air. Clara and Cindy are in the room cleaning up. Today they plan to burn near the garden of the villa, all tools and materials have been prepared by the villa guard according to their order.

"Honey it's still early, let's take a walk. The fire will still be late in the afternoon" Clara asked.

"Ok, I agree" replied Juan.

The four of them went around Malang City, enjoying the all-green scenery. Not to forget they tried various culinary typical of Malang city. They are also seen buying souvenirs for family and friends.

After lunch they decided to return to the villa to rest. They rested very well, probably because of the effects of fatigue after the streets earlier. Adhan ashar's voice woke up their sleep. They do choose villas that are close to the settlement and not too far considering their vacation time is also not much.

"Hoam is so fresh after waking up" Cindy said as she yawned.

"It's late in the afternoon, brother," said Cindy while wriggling her body.

"Sister, that's how there's an equal flower of chocolate on the table. What's in Mr Andre's love?" clara asked pointing towards the table.

"Huh, where?" cindy asked, looking at the table.

"Mas Andre didn't say anything. Since when the flower was here, I didn't notice from earlier" Cindy said in surprise.

"Sama, I was also tired of going straight to bed and sleeping. Let's ask the villa's guard later" Clara said.

Clara stepped towards the table, she opened the card that was next to the flower. He began to read.

To Cindy, please,

I always hoped you would never forget me, but what I saw with my own eyes was enough to make me understand. It turns out how easily love disappears from your heart, so easily my place is changed. So much heartache is seeing you holding hands with another man. It's my fault, but I never thought it was that easy for your love to turn away. May you always be happy even if you are not with me.

Clara looked at Cindy meaningfully.

"It looks like this is indeed from Bima," Clara concluded.

Cindy was so confused by this. His mind was filled with many question marks. Why when he started to feel happy with Andre his past came back to haunt him. Why has Bima left him without news?

"I don't understand either, Brother. But there must be a reason behind all this. Brother wait here, I'll meet the villa guard," said Clara then hurried away.

Cindy took the card, read it slowly. His tears are flowing more and more. Honestly he began to love Andre, but the presence of Bima is still not completely lost from his memory. He was very curious as to why the man had not given any news.

Cindy wiped her tears, she did not want to grieve anymore for the man she considered so cowardly. Flowers and chocolates and cards he just threw in the trash. He decided to go for a short walk to calm his heart, he did not want Andre to know he was crying.

When going through the coffee shop near the villa he saw a motorbike that seemed familiar to him. He thought, afterwards felt sure it was the Bima motor even though it looked modified but he still remembered the same number plate. He approached the shop, his heart racing. A man is seen sitting on his back while sipping a cup of coffee. The man did not realize a woman was watching him from earlier.

"Bima," said Cindy.

The man was silent for a moment, then turned his head towards the voice that called out to him. Their eyes clashed, Cindy's eyes flushed red with anger and sadness. He was surprised to see Bima's face had a scar. The man stood up to Cindy, he was even more stunned to see Bima walking with a slight limp.

'What really happened to him?' mind Cindy wondered.

"I'm sorry, Cindy. Really sorry," said Bima bowed.

"I never intended to leave you, I love you so much. When I was on my way back to Surabaya I had an accident. My legs are limping, my hands are broken, my face is full of wounds. I was in a coma for two months because of the accident, after realizing I could not accept my condition. I'm afraid to see you, I don't want you to be sad, I'm also afraid that you can't accept my situation at that time." explained Bima made the girl's tears more intense.

"You're evil, Bima. You are so evil!" said Cindy while banging Bima.

Bima let Cindy spill her frustration. He was silent when he beat him, after his punch weakened he was determined to hold Cindy's hand. Cindy did not refuse, Bima who missed the girl so much spontaneously embraced her shedding her longing. Cindy longed to return the embrace of the man who had filled her days, but remember Andre who loved her so much.

Because Cindy did not respond Bima also released her embrace, in her eyes fixed the girl who was still filling her soul.

"Sorry, I'm too happy to see you again. Until you do not realize you have another man in your life," said Bima heavy.

"Why didn't you call me, can you call Clara or Juan? Why do you think I'll leave you? Is that as bad as your judgment on me, huh?" cindy asked shouting, she could not help but feel emotion.

Lucky stalls and streets are deserted so they do not become a spectacle of citizens.

"My broken phone can't light up at all. I'm sorry, I'm so insecure that I think no-no. I was really devastated at that time," explained Bima.

Cindy was really confused as to how she behaved. He does not want to hurt anyone, but with this situation can be sure there will be someone injured.

"You made things complicated, made my position difficult" Cindy said, then ran towards the villa.

Bima gasped to see Cindy who was getting away from him. He can understand Cindy's position.
